Went for lunch for the first time. BrightSide is fantastic. Comfortable chairs, great ambiance, friendly service. I got the Italian sandwich on an onion bagel and it was 10/10 incredible. The flavor combos are so good, and the crunch of the toasted bagel sets it off. Chips and a pickle complement everything perfectly too. If you're in the area I HIGHLY recommend you stop in and pick something up!

If you’re looking for your new favorite comfort food spot, look no further than Bright Belly Ramen β€” this place is an absolute gem! From the very first bite, we were blown away. The pork dumplings were incredibly flavorful β€” perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with deliciousness. It was our first time trying the Unagi Toast and the Tuna Tataki, and wow… both were absolutely amazing. The Unagi Toast was rich and savory with the perfect balance of textures, and the Tuna Tataki was fresh, delicate, and beautifully prepared. When it came to the ramen, they truly nailed it. My daughter ordered the Tonkotsu, and I went with the Spicy Curry ramen. Both bowls were phenomenal. The Tonkotsu was rich and comforting with a deeply satisfying broth, and the Spicy Curry had just the right amount of kick β€” enough to warm you up without overpowering the incredible depth of flavor. Every bite was layered, balanced, and completely crave-worthy. And dessert? Out of this world. The Mango and Chocolate Mochi were perfectly flavored β€” sweet, smooth, and the ideal light finish. But the real showstopper was the Sticky Miso Toffee Pudding. It was next-level delicious β€” warm, decadent, and unforgettable. E

The ramen was delicious! We’ve been waiting for this place to open for a while and we finally got to try it. The pork dumplings were very tasty as the appetizer; the chicken shoyu ramen was one of the best I’ve ever had and probably the best ramen in the area by far. We also enjoyed the sticky miso toffee pudding desert and it was incredibly good - the toffee pudding goes quite well with mochi. We’ll definitely return and we look forward to seeing this business grow! Definitely try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Edit #1: Went back this past week to try the new Curry Ramen and OMG IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! I hope and pray Josh keeps it on the permanent menu! Edit #2: My hubby started VDay off with some bagel sandwiches πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯° The Japanese Tamago is so special, we loved it! But my heart cries out for bacon egg and cheese on blueberry bagel πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹(when Josh doesn't have his chicken biscuits, that is!) Hubby and I attended the soft opening of Brightside Kitchen... we've been keeping an eye on this place for months! We enjoyed the pork dumplings (we could have eaten thirty each), Sesame Brisket Ramen (new, very flavorful and smokey), and the classic Tonkotsu (tender pork). I can't wait for the full opening and menu offerings!
