" I visited Underbelly with high expectations, and mostly they were met. The ramen was flavorful, though I found the broth a tad oily for my taste. The food came out quickly, which I appreciated. We ordered some gyoza and bao as well, and both were delicious! The only downside was the acoustics; it was quite loud, making conversation difficult at times. But overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Underbelly on a whim and it has easily become my go-to ramen spot! The ambiance is lively and fun, and the ramen was rich and flavorful. I loved the oxtail dumplings in my broth. One minor complaint was that it was a bit noisy inside. But overall, this place is a hit! Should definitely add it to your San Diego itinerary. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my meal at Underbelly! The ramen was flavorful and the additions to the dish made it fun to customize. My only complaint would be that the seating was a tad tight, making it hard to settle in. Still, the vibrant atmosphere and good service helped negate that issue. I’d come back any day! " (*Curated Review*)

" Underbelly is a little hidden gem! I was impressed by the vibrant aesthetics and authentic taste. The ramen stood out—rich broth with tender meats made me feel like I was in a real ramen shop in Japan. Service was quick, and I appreciated the casual ordering system. Recommend this place to anyone visiting San Diego! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience at Underbelly! The atmosphere is both eclectic and cozy, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal with friends. The Belly of the Beast ramen was incredible; the flavors melded beautifully in the broth, and the toppings were plentiful. I also tried the pork belly baos, which were divine! Highly recommend.

" The ambiance at Underbelly is fantastic, with vibrant lighting and a fun atmosphere. I found the ramen I ordered decent, but I've had better. The gyoza were the highlight for me, however, with a perfect crisp. The staff were attentive, which made up for any shortcomings in the food. All in all, a decent experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Underbelly has a chic, modern vibe that immediately caught my eye. I ordered the Chicken Confit Ramen, and it was tasty with unique blends of flavors. The service was prompt, and I appreciated the easy ordering system. I wouldn’t say it was the best ramen ever, but definitely worthwhile if you are in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
