I checked out the new spot from the chef at Urban Belly for lunch today. Such a beautiful fall day it seemed perfect to take a sandwich to the park. And that's the core of the menu at Belly Shack, where at Urban Belly it's dumplings and noodles. They also have soup, salad, and (strangely?) soft serve - all with interesting Asian and Latino accents (the chef and his wife are Korean and Puerto Rican, respectively).
This was tilapia in a pita with some kind of baby greens and a gingery/citrusy sauce. I forget how the sauce was described. It was quite good, but not very big. And not really amazing enough at that size to justify $11. That's the problem I have with Urban Belly too. It is just on the edge of how much I would pay for the food.
I'll give the place another shot. Some of their other sandwiches sound like a better value, and I want to try the soup (sort of an Asian pozole) and the soft serve.

Is your lunch on the ground? Mother would never approve, at any price. Who's got 11 bucks for a pita sandwich? I'd pass on it.
