Incredible menu, service & decor! My daughter is a freshman at College of Charleston & has been craving Vietnamese food since moving from NJ. The OG Garlic Noodles with pulled pork & pickled red onions was beyond delicious. Cannot wait to stop by this lovely & comfy spot in Little Jerusalem. You must try it!

Pros: Best noodles I’ve ever had, hands down. The wings are also pretty darn good. Wings/dumplings are severely over priced for what you get(6 wings or dumplings). Noodles could be a bit cheaper but their servings are massive and one serving of noodles will leave you very full or could be split in half. Interior looks super cool.
Cons: pretty expensive, they sit at the very top of the price I’d pay for noodles.
Food is super rich, hard to eat a full serving and you feel a bit gross afterwards.
Have gotten to go from here 3 times and every time they are about 5 mins late with the food.

All of that said, everyone should try the OG garlic noodles at least once. Hard to describe how awesome they are. P.S. add the poached egg, it’s worth it.

This is definitely my favorite restaurant right now. Before a vacation, I made sure to eat here the day before we left and came back the day we arrived. It’s addictive! I get the OG noodles minus onions, sometimes I add the poached egg. The spicy lamb dumplings are the best thing on the small plates menu. Strongly recommend the limeade, with or without alcohol!

Absolutely tasty. We had the lamb dumplings, veggie dumplings, fingerling potatoes, and spicy noodles. Best meal of our weekend in town. Great service, great aesthetic, phenomenal food!

We had the Garlic KFC Wings and the Hot and Spicy Chicken Noodles. Food was flavorful and well presented. The service was spot on, being helpful and attentive.

I dine out all over the country: Austin Tx, NYC, Portland Oregon, LA, San Fran, etc. This was very good , and the folks care about what they are doing. They deserve 5 Stars and you should treat yourself to their food.

Went there with a group of three, we were sat quickly though we didn’t have reservations. The host and waiter were very kind. The atmosphere is very chill which is nice to be able to relax after having some fancy meals in previous days. The food came out pretty quickly and though fast it was very flavorful and delicious. If you’re visiting from out of town or just in the mood for some Vietnamese food, I would highly recommend this place.

During our stay in Charleston, we found Pink Bellies and the best Asian food we have had in the South to date. It was so good we went back the next day. The cocktails were great, food delicious, staff friendly, efficient especially James and the manager Michael. Took great care of all customers, and we enjoyed the conversation with them too. We will visit again next time in Charleston.😎👍🏾

This place came highly recommended and had lots of positive reviews, but instead failed short to impress. There was a slight delay to our reservation due to a fire in the building where the restaurant resides, which wasn’t a big deal since we were able to be seated shortly after. My friend and I shared the spicy lamb dumplings (a must try), the Garlic KFC Wings and the Hot & Spicy Chicken Noodles. The food overall was flavorful, but I found the noodles to be slightly undercooked and overly greasy. The dumplings were the best thing we ordered and to be honest, this place is more fusion than an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Despite the mediocre food, service was great and the space fun and eclectic.
