2 entree plate, ribs & garlic shrimp with half Java rice and half garlic noodle
Clarissa P.

Tried this spot at the Redwood City Night Market, and wow, it was hella good! I really wish they had a storefront because we'd be there a lot! We got the 2 entree plate with ribs and garlic shrimp, plus half Java rice and half garlic noodles. The garlic shrimp was so tasty (even though you only get three pieces). I usually don't like shrimp with the shell on, but the skin was soft enough to eat and added great flavor. The ribs were solid too, really tender. If I had to nitpick, the Java rice could use a little more flavor, and the price was a bit steep, around $30 for the plate, but honestly, the quality and taste makes up for it. Service was super friendly! When they saw us sitting on the curb next to their booth, one of the guys offered a portable seat for us. Such a thoughtful touch that really stood out. Definitely keeping an eye out for them at future events!

Gim Belly is a food stand that can be found at many events and festivals throughout the Bay Area. When I saw that they were going to be at this one event I was attending, I was excited to give them a try! I ordered the glazed bbq chicken plate and it was so delicious and full of flavor! I loved everything in the plate and you bet I made sure to finish every last bite. If you see them at an event you're attending, definitely make sure to give them a try!

This Bay Area business was at the right place at the right time! We were here early for the Elk Grove Asian Pacific Culturefest & my wife had been having strong galbi cravings lately. There was another Korean foodie tent but this particular one was one we have had several times before in Sacramento bc my wife had followed them on IG. So instead of going to a brick & mortar Korean restaurant in Sacramento we took advantage! She ordered the Kalbi shortrib plate with cucumber salad no rice as they didn't have that ready but my wife no longer eats rice anyway. They had that order ready in five minutes to go! Yes nicely wrapped and ready to eat! My wife was in Galbi Heaven especially since the entree was still warm when we got home! Woohoo was she happy & satisfied! She even contemplated going back but she said she better not! She kept wavering back & forth in her mind as they were in town for 6 hours but they are known to sell out! Healthwise it was a one shot deal if you know what I mean! LOLOLOL this business' ambiance is clean and organized! Get in my belly foodie food is always satisfying! YES!!!! Yummy goodness...

Kalbi with Shrimp and Java Rice
Eva L.

More like 3.5 Stars. Ordered 2 Combo plates. First combo had St Louis BBQ ribs and Grilled Pork Belly. Second combo was with Garlic Shrimp and Kalb8 Short ribs. Side dishes were garlic noodles and Java rice. Also came with cucumber salad. All of the meats were nicely marinated. The Pork Belly had more of a savory taste with milder flavor. Hint of sweetness and salty but mild enough that the pork taste was still prominent. Layer of fat and leaner meat were in good proportion. Came with a side of dipping sauce. Tasty. The St Louis Ribs also had the same profile of flavor, sweet salty but with hint of vinegar like flavor from the sauce. More sweet than salty. Stronger flavor than the pork belly. Meat was tender. Did not need to use a knife to cut through it. Came with 2 pieces of ribs. Also good. The Kalbi short ribs was sweet salty but with soy sauce flavor. Meat was not as tender as the first two. It had more of a chew to it. Good but not as good as the first two meats. The Garlic Shrimp was just ok. Wish it had a stronger garlic taste. Glad that it's already peeled. The cucumber salad was really good. It's more like pickled cucumber. Perfect side to balance all the meat flavor. The Java Rice was undercooked. Hard and dry. The grains looked like they need more water and cooking time. Garlic noodles was also ok. Needs more garlic but noodles were al dente. On the pricey side especially for the size of serving portions. Took about 20 min to get the food after ordering. Nice friendly staff.

I loved the pork belly and garlic shrimp! The garlic noodles were lacking in garlic flavor but everyone was stopping me to ask where I got my plate from. The entire 2 item plate was $28 so quite pricey

Grilled pork belly plate
Annabelle R.

Get In My Belly had a food stand at the North Beach Festival in SF this past weekend, and watching them grill the meats out front, I couldn't resist. Got the grilled pork belly dish with java rice, the portions were perfectly filling, and the bite-sized pork belly pieces were delicious, a bit of fat to add to the taste, juicy, tender, made just right. Service was efficient, hardly any waits, and I appreciated the easy-to-read menu with pictures... not much more I could ask for.

LOVE LOVE LOVE working with GIM Belly!!! Firstly, they are kind, warm, caring people. They bring the smiles non-stop and if they are ever feeling the pressure of running a great meal service, you'd NEVER know. Oh and their galbi ribs - simply the best: flavor, tender and juicy texture, fat/lean balance...none better. The grilled garlic prawns - garlic noodles are the stuff of dreams. First tried them at a food festival and my hubby and I were so impressed, we asked them to cater my non-profit's largest annual gala. Stakes were high as it was our biggest event where for the first time, we were hosting an incredible array of VIPs. GIM Belly knocked it out of the park bases loaded: professionalism, communication, meal service, thoughtfulness and kindness. Firstly they came super early to set up. And the setup - so professional and beautiful. I enclosed a short vid of of part of the food station below. We did not ask for the gorgeous vases of flowers, or the hand rolled (compostable!) utensils or heat lamps to serve meals and keep them warm while Customers waited. They thoughtfully did this themselves. We were wowed before the meal service even started. The food was incredible and you can see all the other photos from other posters on how amazing it is. What I want to share is that consistency is key - every meal is delicious and they exceeded expectations. Additionally they brought the same energy through their staff - equally professional, helpful and kind. Singing GIM Belly's praises is wonderful and working with them is the blessing you need. THANK YOU GIM BELLY TEAM !!! We can't wait to work with you again!

I smelled the food at the Sunset Night Market and knew I need to try this. My friend and I shared the combo plate. We ordered the garlic noodles with garlic shrimp and ribs. They gave us 3 pieces of ribs and 3 pieces of shrimp for $27. Everything was really yummy and it felt so good to eat freshly grilled bbq. The smoke smelled so good and the food was hot (in temperature) instead of the ready made food. Definitely would recommend! I'm so happy I got to try this. Other reviews said they need to buy a ticket at Foodieland to try this!

I got to try this place this weekend at the North Beach festival. I was craving something saucy, and this definitely hit the spot. I got the barbecue chicken with garlic noodles and rice. The garlic noodles were so good and flavorful however, I feel like the rice was lacking in flavor so I didn't eat all of it. They give you a pretty hefty portion as the price is $20, definitely worth trying!

I was able to finally try this food truck at the water lantern festival in San Jose. I got the BBQ chicken with Garlic Noodles and it was really good! The food came out quick, the bowl had an impressive portion, and the person that took my order was super friendly! Would definitely try this food truck again.

Food is 10/10!!!! This is a must try!!!!! Ribs were rich and super flavorful!!!! First time trying garlic noodles and they were delicious! Service was amazing, super sweet ladies!

Those ribs!

Found out about GIM "Get In My" Belly BBQ from the NorCal Kababayan Community food pop up at Capitol Corridor Amtrak station in Hayward. Various Filipino Food vendors but this one stood out as I love barbecue! Nice, sweet Asian-style glazed ribs that were super tender and flavorful. Next time I'll opt to get the sauce on the side as I'm not one to use a lot of sweet sauces. Will definitely try their other dishes like the Hawaiian garlic shrimp or honey-glazed salmon but for this first try was a solid 4 stars. Food delicious and reasonably priced at $13. Will have to check FB or IG for their next event as they were part of the Fil-Am Bay Area Backyard Movement (fka Fil-Am Bay Area Popup) over the weekend but missed. Definitely a yummy food vendor worth following

Bbq ribs and garlic shrimp combo
Helen W.

I came across gim belly bbq at the 626 night market near the great mall. Tried a variety of stuff at the market and gim was the major stand out. This place needs a restaurant!! Because if they had one, i would be back for round 2 the next day ;). Bbq ribs 5/5: not covered in sauce like most bbq ribs but perfectly so. The taste was lighter than most ribs but still more flavorful somehow. Meat was super tender. Garlic shrimp 5/5: shrimp tasted amazing too! Garlic noodles 5/5: dont know how they make these so good but best garlic noodles ive had and im craving for more already. Rice: 4/5 still good, light taste, but mayb not as addicting as everything else.

a lot of meat cooking on a grill

The food was lukewarm and it seems it may have been sitting out for a while before they served it. Also it was very pricey for what it was.

I have come across this food truck a couple of times at Off the Grid events and have meaning to…read moregive it a try. One night in Foster City, I decided that this place was the best option out of all of the trucks present so I settled on eating here. I have never had dim sum from a food truck so I was a little apprehensive as to how it would taste especially since I am picky about my dim sum. I got the dim sum platter, which included siu mai, shrimp dumplings, chicken pot stickers, and joong (sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo). I also got an addtional order of xian bing (beef meat pies) and the creamy pork cutlet with rice. The dim sum platter was decent. I've definitely had better siu mai, dumplings, and pot stickers elsewhere but coming from a food truck, they were pretty reasonable. I love joong and don't find it at many places so that was pleasant surprise and it was tasty. The xian bing was all right... it was clearly a pre-made beef patty wrapped in dough that was simply refried. I know I shouldn't be expecting something made fresh-to-order at a food truck but then I don't think you should really have something like that on the menu at all if it's premade. The savory pork cutlet with rice was essentially a version of congee (creamy rice porridge). It was pretty good except that they had put shredded cheese over the top of the dish. I honestly had no idea why they would do that and it was not needed nor aesthetically pleasing at all. If management is reading this review, please consider removing the addition of cheese to this item. Overall, I wouldn't necessarily seek this place out if I am craving dim sum since there are so many better options in the bay area. However, this truck serves up pretty reasonable food with a couple of items that you wouldn't necessarily find at the nicer dim sum restaurants.

I finally got to try Hongry Kong through an office catering pop-up. The dim sum looked appealing at…read morefirst glance, and the line moved quickly, but the overall experience fell short for $13.5!! The staff was efficient, though the interaction felt a bit impersonal, and the meal came as a fixed combo platter rather than allowing us to choose individual items. Unfortunately, much of the food tasted as though it had been sitting in a warmer for too long. There were a few decent elements, but freshness and texture were recurring issues across the platter. * Har Gow: Each dumpling had two full shrimp inside, which was generous. However, the shrimp felt overcooked, likely from being held too long. * Siu Mai: A good-sized dumpling with shrimp and a meat filling, but the texture of the meat was dry and lacked flavor. * BBQ Steamed Bun: The filling was shredded, but there was far more bun than meat. It also tasted more like a pre-made product than something freshly prepared. * Wrapped Sticky Rice: This was probably the strongest item of the group. The glutinous rice and meat were satisfying, although it still did not taste freshly made. * Sesame Ball: The mochi-like exterior and sweet paste filling were nicely balanced, but again, it seemed to have been sitting out for a while rather than served fresh. Overall: the presentation showed potential, but the execution did not match closely. Since this was a catered pop-up, I realize it may not fully reflect the dine-in experience, but based on this meal, freshness and quality control need more attention before I would seek it out again.

Highly recommended! My husband and I have been looking for…read morebuffets in the area and one day we thankfully stumbled upon Warehoue Buffet. There is so much food! You really need to coke with a huge appetite. They give you the option to do either Korean BBQ buffet only or hot pot buffet or you can do both for slightly more $. First time we were there my husband and I did both. We got the miso soup base for the broth and it was meh. It wa flavorless in my opinion. My favorite meat us beef bulgogi. Delish! You get to experience cooking your own food while eating and socialize. The second time we went my family members ordered the hot pot, Korean bbq AND sushi rolls. Wooh! This time around I got the healthy herb and it SO YUMMY! I recommend this one. I like the variety of options for meat and veggies for the Korean bbq and the hot pot. Be careful though. I'm pretty sure they brought a couple of things we did not order and they said we did. It is included since it is buffet but I believe you can get charged if you don't eat a lot of your food. So keep track of what you order!!! There is a salad bar and...goodies bar. They have cilantro, kimchi, peanuts, ginger, salad, some small desserts. Our waiter was very nice. Michael. Super friendly!! Plenty of parking. Nice staff. They come around often to check on dirty/empty plates, etc. The place is by the water so awesome views! Come check it out!
