Rating: 4.5

Reservations · Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating

Polished Korean small-plates spot with standout hospitality and adventurous dishes; delicious for many, though portions run small and pricing feels high to some.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

Bell86 delivers solid neighborhood dining with exceptional service warmth and attentiveness and thoughtful design and plating that elevate the experience. However, inconsistent food execution—ranging from bold, tender galbi jjim to oversalted or over-fried dishes—prevents higher grades, while modest portion sizes and location appeal keep it competitive with respected local favorites rather than a destination establishment.
