The food is good but very expensive. A burger with fries is $22.

Ordered food out of their own Delivery site and 1 hour in the food wasn't even picked up. No updates. Very disappointing.

Belly in San Francisco is a bold, flavor-forward spot that blends comfort food with creative, Asian-inspired twists. The menu is indulgent and unapologetic, focusing on rich textures, layered flavors, and generous portions that feel both satisfying and intentional. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere feels lively and modern, matching the playful energy of the food itself. Dishes are thoughtfully composed, balancing sweetness, spice, and umami without feeling overwhelming. Service is efficient and friendly, keeping the experience smooth even during busy hours.

I was visiting from out of town and had heard so much about all the outstanding food in Oakland. Belly sounded intriguing and different with interesting flavor combinations, exotic ingredients and positive reviews. Everything seemed like it was cooked properly (hence the second star for the kitchen doing the best they could), but unfortunately, the 3 very different tacos I had all tasted identically bland. Most of the flavor was deep fryer oil that was maybe right on the edge of needing to be changed out. Even the one that wasn’t deep fried somehow. How can something involving so many sauces have so little flavor? The only thing with any flavor was the cookie which was so shockingly salty I threw it away. The whole experience was cafeteria-like at best. Which would probably be fine for some people if it were priced accordingly.

Delicious food but waiters can be a little stuck up especially when it’s busy. Was barely acknowledged picking up my to-go order and felt bothersome asking for ketchup. Immediately after handling me the waitress went to her tables with a whole different attitude. Not cool

The food is great (always has been, their former location was wonderful!) but unfortunately not great enough to justify the price. Especially through DoorDash- 9$ tacos and 22$ burritos are hard to understand given the variety of food options in the area.

The food is so good but $23 for 2 tacos or $21 burrito is insane. Used to come here a few times a month, now maybe once a year
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.
