Rooted in Asian tradition yet confidently modern, bellyQ is Chef Bill Kim’s redefined and modernized Korean barbecue restaurant in the West Loop neighborhood. It features interactive tableside grills, a full cocktail bar and plenty of private dining and event space. A few years back, Kim moved his Northside ramen shop, Urbanbelly, to the front of this location, offering a casual lunch option for neighbors, area workers and others seeking out his addictive brothy noodle bowls, rice dishes and dumplings. This year, Kim opened a larger Urbanbelly location in Chicago’s trendy Wicker Park neighborhood.
