Spicy margarita and lemonade
Laura S.

I was apprehensive to try this place bc so many reviews said they were not vegetarian friendly. I did not find that at all in my experience. Went on a Sunday afternoon. The place is smaller so I suggest reservations. We had them but didn't need them. Greeted warmly by the only server (that did not affect the service, he was very attentive). Spicy margarita was excellent. I had the veggie dumplings and OG ramen with tofu and mushrooms. Nice flavor. My husband loved his chicken and spicy lamb dumplings. My son got the kids garlic noodles that were so basic but delicious. Like a Vietnamese cacio e Pepe. Kid friendly: 2 kid options and highchairs

Overall one of my favorite restaurant experiences ever! The interior look is so creative and quirky. The yuzu cocktail is amazing and you must order the Cajun spice bag. The service was A+. All around a restaurant we will have to visit regularly!

this will definitely become my go to spot. i loved it. our servers micheal, was the best. so so nice, he gave us our dessert on the house. the atmosphere was fun too! i got the garlic noodles and they were perfection. no complaints about the food. the only thing i'd say is that they need to work on there presentation for the ice cream!

SO GOOD!!!!

Whenever we have people over for big dinners or any cooking, we are doing for any special events. I do half restaurant food and half cooking at home and it's been a success. So for my Birthday dinner I wanted some food from here. I keep seeing pictures of the noodles that everyone was speaking of I had no idea what the pink stuff was come to find out. It was pickled onions, but I have to be honest they were so good. At least 4 people, ate out of them It was a lot of flavor it tastes very fresh and you can taste every ingredient. Because the taste buds were jumping. We got there when they first opened so there was no one there. I will definitely be back. I also tried the lamb noodles. Sorry. I forgot the actual name, but they had kind of a funky pickled taste to him, I assume it was the sauce but if you love lamb and Asian food, you're definitely going to love it, but I was definitely blown away by the noodles who would ever think to finish it off with parmesan cheese. It was a great addition.There are several other things I want to try.Based on yelp pictures and the menu , I will be there soon. Now , everybody on 3. 1....2....3....HAPPY BDAY ME!!!!!!

Some peculiar merch for sale.

Serving food and alcoholic drinks, this place should be open later on a Saturday night! But this trendy spot has an Interesting take on Vietnamese menu items including a Pho flavored cocktail however I was not too bold. I ordered fried crispy spring rolls with lettuce wraps and dipping sauce. They were a fresh and tasty item. They had 3 different flavors but they all tasted non distinct to me. I also drank a classic Vietnamese drop iced coffee and it hit the spot. It's a unique and interesting spot in Charleston and at least worth a visit.

Grilled Chicken Garlic Noodles
Jillian S.

STILL our favorite take out spot. The chicken garlic noods are to die for. Always consistently delicious! Do yourself a favor and get your tastebuds ready for flavor! The KFC wings and General Gerry's chicken are also very good, probably crispier in person but overall the travel from downtown to Mount Pleasant has been great!!

Fish Sauce Brussels Sprouts

My wife and I recently went here for a weekend dinner and had a solid experience. We came without a reservation and were seated immediately. Pink Bellies' ambiance was casual and unassuming. Pink Bellies is extremely Americanized Vietnamese food-there were plenty of butter and dairy in the dishes, atypical of Vietnamese cuisine. It was also hard to order anything on the menu that was healthy, as most everything was fried in some way or had red meat/butter. Despite the restaurant being empty, our dishes took longer than would be expected to come out. My wife and I shared the fried brussels sprouts, which were outstanding. They were perfectly cooked, and had amazing flavor and spice (also not salty). I got the hot and spicy chicken noodles for my main, which were OK but too rich for my liking.

Spicy Lamb Dumplings
Emily B.

Had such a great time at Pink Bellies! First off, our server was fantastic, super friendly and gave spot-on recommendations. The restaurant itself has a really cool vibe lots going on, but it all works together perfectly. Here's what we tried: - Avocado Fries: 5/5 Absolutely delicious. Perfect crunch, and the dipping sauce was amazing. - Spicy Lamb Dumplings: 5/5 My favorite dish of the night! Packed with flavor, cooked perfectly and I could've honestly drank the sauce. Pho Mai Burger: 3/5 Not my favorite. The bun was dry and crumbly, and it could've used a bit more flavor overall. OG Garlic Noodles: 4/5 Were good, but tasted better as leftovers the next day. The noodles were warm, onions were cold, and the pork was room temp when served, which threw me off. Also the pork lacked flavor. But again great next day.

Table set up
Rachel M.

I'm still thinking about how flavorful this meal was! I absolutely loved the view we had from our table and the overall vibe was very cool and aesthetic. The only reason I'm giving this 4 instead of 5 stars is because our server was new and forgot a few things and the menus we received had food on them so that was off-putting to start off. The server was kind and did inform us it was only his second day but overall the food made up for it because it was so delicious, the noodles, the flavor, the combination of ingredients were all perfectly curated. Will be back for sure.

If you're in Charleston and craving something bold, flavorful, and totally unique then come to Pink Bellies. Everything we tried was packed with that addictive sweet-salty-spicy balance, and you can really taste the authentic Vietnamese influence in every dish. We started with the Spicy Lamb Pierogi Dumplings, which were unlike anything I've had before. The Sủi Cảo Dumplings were perfectly plump with pork and shrimp, swimming in a delicious smoked chili oil sauce. The noodle dishes stole the show, especially the OG Garlic Noodles with pulled pork, parm, and a perfect hit of sriracha. The Hot & Spicy Chicken Noodles had just the right amount of kick and richness. We had to try the Phô Mai Burger, juicy, cheesy, and full of texture with crispy shallots and onion jam. The cocktails were super creative and surprisingly delicious, and the atmosphere was modern and vibey. Definitely not your typical Vietnamese menu, but so worth checking out.

OG Garlic Noodles

My first impression of Pink Bellies is how nicely decorated and designed it is. I love that it's right on King Street for convenience. My friends and I ordered the avocado fries and KFC garlic wings (phone did not eat first). The wings were perfectly glazed in garlic sauce and crunchy! I then ordered the OG garlic noodles that are a must order. The noodles are soft and flavored to perfection. The bowl is dressed in siracha which adds a great kick. The pulled pork on top is soft and melts in your mouth! Highly recommend

Came here for a quick meal. I had the OG garlic noodles. I liked the texture of the noodles and the toppings mixed well with the pork to make a rather tasty dish, but not sure I'd go out of my way to get this again! Still I was pretty happy I tried this!

Wings
Dan S.

One of the best Asian restaurants in Charleston. We loved everything including the service. The avocado bites are light and delicious. The wings were outstanding and we saved the sauce to enhance the noodle dishes. We tried XO the night before and feel that Pink Bellies was a better experience.

Really enjoyed our stop at Bon Banh Mi! Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the whole family…read morefound something they liked. We tried the five-spice ground pork, ginger lemongrass chicken, and red curry beef banh mi -- all three were excellent and had very distinct flavors. The kids especially enjoyed them, which is always a win when introducing the family to new cuisines. Also loved the black jasmine semi-sweet tea -- refreshing and a great balance of tea flavor and sweetness. Definitely a great casual stop for fresh, flavorful food!

Our order was ready in about 15 minutes, and we were greeted right away with our food waiting for us. We almost always order the Five Spice Ground Pork Bowl and the Ginger Lemongrass Chicken Bowl, and both are consistently flavorful and generously portioned. The real standout, though, is the Vietnamese vinaigrette! This sauce ties everything together and adds the perfect balance of bright, tangy flavor. I could honestly put it on just about anything. The portion sizes are another huge plus. Depending on the day, each bowl easily stretches into two meals, making it an incredible value without sacrificing quality. Fast, friendly service, consistently delicious food, and great portions--Bon Banh Mi continues to impress. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh, satisfying Vietnamese food.
