Had a great meal on a Monday night. Really enjoyed the Laughing Buddha cocktail. My Lady loved the Kill Bill cocktail. We had the pancake with seasonal pickles blackbean hummus, and BBQ pork. The fried smashed sweet potatoes. Vegetable curry, blackened shrimp curry, salmon with homemade noodles and shrimp tempura. The spicy edamame is to die for. Beautifully designed space very airy and open. Highly recommend and will definitely return!!

Happy hour at BellyQ was a tasty experience. I enjoyed the wings and dumplings. The chef was kind enough to send out an order of fries. The dip with the fries is addictive. I enjoyed the thai peanut old fashioned. It was an interesting experience because you count smell and taste thai peanut sauce in the drink.

The meat was a bit tough. And pancakes had a different spin on it to it vs the original "Korean pancakes". They had sauce and marinated onions/carrots that could go with it. The best was the Fluffy donut and thin skinned spring roll.

Food was really good, the atmosphere was lovely. Me and my good friend decided to meet after work, it wasn't crowded at all. We stayed for hours! We ordered Q fried rice, a salmon and duck dish that we shared. Also had dessert.

Yummy!! Went with mom and we had such a nice dinner. The waitstaff is really nice and the food is super delicious. Been there several times, have tried many dishes and every dish has been very good; crab rangoon, avocado edamame hummus, thai style chicken, rib tips, duck and pho spring rolls, shrimp ceviche, branzino with noodles, smashed sweet potatoes, blackened shrimp curry, lemonade passion fruit drink, coconut and drinking vinegar. Everything had great contrasting flavor. Would definitely recommend and will return.

Met a friend here for lunch and loved every moment of it. The restaurant is well designed and layed out. The staff is friendly and appears to enjoy working there. I got the Frose and Crab Dumpling Soup. It was served with a side of rice. Delicious! A bit more spice than I prefer but was full of flavor. I highly recommend if you like pho or rice bowls.

I've had a few things from Belly Q before and while those have been amazing, it's the Happy Hour menu that keeps me wanting to go back! Had this Thai Peanut Old Fashioned that was hands down of the the best Old Fashioned cocktails I've ever had. Go for the food, stay for the drinks!
