Stopped by on a whim to try this newer Mexican-Asian fusion spot (lots of Korean influences) while in the area. I tried the breakfast burrito and the fish tacos were quite good. The food was exciting but maybe a little undersalted. Other than that it was priced highly, but not atypical for the Rockridge area.

Been living in Rockridge for awhile and finally got out to try this cute Asian-Mexican fusion joint!

Belly has a darling blue storefront, and the cute aesthetic continues throughout the dining area. Service was really friendly and the vibe is casual but inviting.

I ordered three tacos (Korean Hot Chicken, Cali, and Pork Belly) and enjoyed them all — fresh ingredients and packed full. I do wish they had a bit more flavor, particularly in the Korean Hot Chicken.

The salad was a nice surprise to have included and the vinaigrette was really refreshing! It might have been my favorite part of the platter.

Came to Belly with a belly empty; left Belly with a belly full! Pretty happy about that.

Solid food with really nice staff in a really cute restaurant. My girlfriend and I stopped into Belly for the first time around a week ago and were pretty impressed with our food. My pork belly burrito was big and tasty and her Korean Hot Chicken bowl was pretty great (but probably could have used a bit more of the aioli sauce from the get go, but our server was really friendly and brought more of the kimchi aioli over which was really nice). Also, the habanero salsa I had with my burrito was incredible -- pretty spicy, but also super flavorful. Overall I like the concept of Belly and think their food and service is pretty great.

Nice Parklet outside - that’s where it ends
Uninspired menu, service and ill-prepared, overpriced dishes.

The food just isn’t that great for the amount it is priced at, and the portions are very small. Just not worth it

This review is not about the food but the character of the people who work there. Who turns away a potty training 2.5 year old toddler who needs to use a bathroom? Treat your community with respect and dignity, if you are in the business of hospitality.

The choice was to either set her up on a potty outside their restaurant, or have the decency to ask to go in, out of respect for those eating there. We were given an eye roll, scolded for going in versus any other restaurant around them. I understand if it’s frustrating to have a lot of people ask to use a restroom - but tell me how many of those was a potty training 2.5 year old? In this poor judgement you have lost a customer that lives in the neighborhood and our social circle of friends and family.

This was an incredible meal start to finish. The service was quick and helpful, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was really bright. We will definitely be coming back again.

This is the new location that was previously on San Pablo Ave. The prices went way up because of the location Temescal shopping area. Lots of foot traffic and major improvements of clients. Overall food is still good. The feels of the interior design has changed. It is no longer a dive looking spot. Much fancier looking and slight change to the menu. Best flavors of fusion food. Order out is popular. Try this place for good food with deep flavors.
