The freshest fish available, cut to order, not cut in advance like lesser sushi shops. The best grade rice, seasoned with a custom recipe of brown rice vinegar, sugar and salt, not a "seasoned" rice vinegar out of a bottle. Expensive nori, not the cheap stuff, same with the pickled ginger. Owner knows fish, knows quality. Order accordingly.
Great place. Staff are super friendly. Food is delicious and quick!! Prices are doable but I wouldn’t be able to eat here more than once a month with my income.
Walk-up to order, then sit and get served. Menu was displayed on the left wall inside the door, and had plenty of options for all sorts of flavor preferences. Drink selection on the menu was good, and had some drinks on display at the counter. Food ordered (steak and egg burrito with hot sauce) was really good, and came out quickly even when it was fairly busy.
LOVE this place. It's like the perfect blend of all your favorite dive spots. Very unique creations fusing Mexican, Asian and classic burger style eateries. There is no explaining how awesome Belly is, you just have to try it.
With a variety of options and price points, Belly can satisfy everything from a simple snack craving to a big filling meal. Two tacos is typically enough to tide me over, but the Burrito is filling. I recommend the tacos for a first timer to explore the different meat/filling options and see what your favorite is, because it is likely you will be back again!
The only issue with Belly is the wait at lunch. I recommend calling in your order first, but you may have to wait in the line regardless just to get in the door.
Belly is one of the reasons I miss our old Condo in Oakland. A fresh new take on tacos , burritos, nachos, and salad with an Asian twist.
We were here at least once a month when we lived nearby. Go early if you want a seat or expect somewhat of a line. They always attract a good lunch and dinner crowd.
For a sweet treat check out their sister dessert shop with the same namesake a few blocks away.
