Vietnamese comfort food: garlic noodles, lamb dumplings, pho cocktails
"A Vietnamese restaurant that works well for group dining, known for bold flavors and a convivial atmosphere." - Erin Perkins
"Vietnamese American spot Pink Bellies offers lunch on Upper King, Thursdays through Sundays. Grab a seat in the stunning dining room and order the garlic noodles, lamb dumplings, or an “Animal Style” cheeseburger (an ode to In-N-Out). Take a look at the cocktail list for creative concoctions like the pho cocktail with gin, a hit of Sriracha, and fish sauce." - Erin Perkins
"A Vietnamese restaurant recommended for larger groups and known for bold, family-style dishes — reservations or group planning are suggested." - Erin Perkins
"Pink Bellies began in 2014 as a small food truck near the College of Charleston serving Vietnamese comfort food to students and locals. Now, it has a home in a new space on King Street, which is impossible to miss thanks to their neon pink lighting that never fails to remind us of Janelle Monae’s “Make Me Feel” music video. The savory garlic noodles with pulled pork, pickled onions, parmesan, and sriracha are what you want, but also throw in an order of lamb dumplings, along with the Not Fried Chicken Ice Cream: a dessert that looks like a chicken drumstick from Life Raft Treats." - jai jones, emily yates
"A King Street restaurant where chef Thai Phi stages a Wednesday Pho King pop-up featuring super comforting pho, crisp fish sauce wings and grilled shrimp with piquant dipping sauces, bringing more Vietnamese flavors to the regular menu." - Erin Perkins
