The staff are very nice, and the lady who greeted me had great energy.

I tried their spicy chicken ramen dish and was disappointed by how sickly sweet it was instead of savory. It reminded me of store bought sweet and sour sauce. There was no reason to anticipate this flavor profile, and while the taste wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t pleasant either, and it left me feeling heavy in the way corn syrup foods often do.

I would not recommend this...

I had the coconut curry pho. It was a delicious noodle soup that hit the spot! With a 20% tip, it was about $23. It was definitely pricey but I saw a sign that they provide free meals to children on Mondays. Reading the reviews, I know people were definitely using this offering. If some of my payment went to feeding a child in my community, I was happy to spend it.
Thank you UrbanBelly for taking care of the families in Wicker Park.

I have been a long-time fan of UrbanBelly, but I was going to come in today, but I saw yet another price hike on the menu. Its disappointing, as I would come more often if you kept the prices reasonable. 15-17-19 for the same noodles, chicken, and broth.
