From the jump more than a dozen years ago, urbanbelly has been serving flavorful Asian fast-casual food and it only gets better. Led by award-winning Chef Bill Kim and Cornerstone Restaurant Group, the menu lists signature dumplings, bowls and specialties such as the gluten-free and dairy free Coconut Curry Pho and Kim's signature ramen. Order slippery dumplings (stuffed with Korean BBQ beef, chicken red curry or edamame) by the piece and pair 'em with something crispy like Thai fried chicken or Togarashi fries. Substantial bowls are filled with your choice of toppings/mix-ins (pork belly/pineapple, lemongrass chicken and shrimp among the options) over fried rice, udon noodles or veg and rice.

- Take Out: "Urbanbelly travels particularly well for takeout because noodles and broth are smartly packed separately to avoid sogginess."
- Best for Take Out Because: It's take-out ease prepared with fine-dining technique. After all, Kim wrote the book on Korean barbecue.
