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! read more

GIM Belly BBQ - 2 entree plate, ribs & garlic shrimp with half Java rice and half garlic noodle - Food Stands Near Me - Belmont, California

I'm conflicted here. We finally found the truck at a weekend event in San Carlos. The pork belly was dry, The rice was good. The shrimp was good but messy The garlic noodles were okay. Service was very generic. Lunch foe 2. Over $45 from a food truck Small portions. A little disappointed. The hype is not warranted. We won't go out of our way to find the truck. They never post thier location anyway. read more

Gim Belly is a food stand that can be found at many events and festivals throughout the Bay Area.

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! read more

GIM Belly BBQ - glazed bbq chicken with tumeric rice, garlic noodles, and pickled veggies - Food Stands Near Me - Belmont, California

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... read more

GIM Belly BBQ - Short ribs, rice, garlic noodles, and pickled cucumbers - Food Stands Near Me - Belmont, California

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

This food is not good. The customer service was nasty. I ordered brisket and asked for the juicy portion. I was rudely told "you have to take what we got" "we are running out and everyone has to take what we give" I knew that I will never return. After being treated poorly I thought perhaps the food would be good...nah it was nasty.. Go find you somewhere else to eat folks! read more

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!

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. read more

GIM Belly BBQ - Bbq ribs and garlic shrimp combo - Food Stands Near Me - Belmont, California

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 read more

Had the opportunity to try GIM Belly at Foodieland in Berkely and it was great! - Jumbo Pork Bun - Garlic Shrimp w/ Garlic Noodles If you love pork buns, you're in for something serious here! The jumbo pork bun is HUGE and fully loaded with savory and moist pork. Every bite is packed with flavor but inside is a real treat as you eat your way to an oozy, perfectly soft-boiled ramen egg that saturates the pork and adds a new depth of flavor. I also love shrimp and their garlic shrimp was on point. Each piece of shrimp was beautifully crusted with so much garlic and the flavor was awesome! The garlic noodles were a bit milder but that was totally okay with the flavor bomb from the shrimp. Liza and Jojo were very hospitable and kind. Thank you so much for the experience! read more

The garlic noodles were dry and the rice was not it but I liked the short ribs. The customer service was alright.

The food is always great! From the bao to St. Louis ribs, one cannot go wrong in ordering anything in the menu. The service is exceptionally 5 service. Every staff treats you with utmost respect and with gratitude. The stall is very clean and it is obvious that the owner is keeping up with its status in keeping their food exceptionally deliscious and providing the gray quality service tha my one could ask for. I highly suggest that you follow them on instagram for locations. read more

I came upon gim belly this past weekend for the first time at a Gift & Food Fair behind Stonestown Mall. Their slogan sold me, "get in my belly." How could I resist? hehehe They are kinda pricey, $20 for a one entree plate, $25 for a two entree combo plate, but I have to say, well-worth it. Everything was just delicious! Cooked perfectly, which isn't easy, serving out of a food stand. And a lot of food. Definitely get the combo, it's the best deal, large helpings of both entrees. I'm a big eater, and I had enough left over for a second meal. I had the St Louis ribs and the garlic shrimp. They said I could do 1/2 & 1/2 on the sides, getting both the turmeric rice and the garlic noodles. Excellent suggestion! The ribs were succulent and fall-off-the-bone tender. The garlic shrimp (prawns really) were shell-on, and covered with a sweet garlicy breading that was just delicious. I'm not a huge fan of having to shell my shrimp, but they were perfectly cooked, and maybe the shells help keep the prawn meat inside the perfect texture. Both the sides were excellent. The leftover rice I reheated at home seemed a little dry, so I squeezed some lemon on it and it came alive. I will definitely follow gim belly because I want to get their food in my belly again. Soon. read more

GIM (Get In My Belly) Belly is a small Filipino family business run by Jojo & Liza two of the friendliest, diligent, and courteous owners I've ever met. Make sure you follow their Instagram to see where they're popping up next! At GIM Belly they specialize in traditional & non traditional Filipino cuisine offering their twists on food. Hows their food, and does it have me saying "get in my belly!? Barbeque St Louis Ribs $15: Served on a bed of Java rice (turmeric infused Filipino rice) & a cup of pickled veggies to counter that sweet tangy bbq. On the outside this dish looks quite simple, just some killer bbq ribs on some really aromatic rice. This is the first time I've ever experienced Java rice snd let me just say how flavorful it is, im not the hugest turmeric kind of guy, but this was not off putting and paired so incredibly well with the bbq. The rib part itself was bbqed to perfection, although it wasnt the most tender rib ive ever had, I gotta say it did fall off the bone with semi ease. HOWEVER, that bbq sauce was SOOO good, it was sweet and it reminded me of that Filipino influences. Huge shoutout to Jono and Liza for having me and giving me this amazing opportunity to try your rib plate. I most definitely hope I can come back again in the future and get a chance to try all of the other items on your menu. Although the night market scenes are over they're still hustling hard popping up all across the Bay Area, make sure you follow up on Instagram to get their schedule and go try their Filipino cuisine. read more

GIM BELLY has some of the best BBQ I have ever tasted. Their Ribs and Pork Belly is super good! The texture of each meat was perfect. It wasn't too soft nor was it too chewy. The prices were reasonable and the portions were fair. I encountered them at the Ube Fest at Tanforan, and within the two hours I was there they had sold out! I definitely recommend this place if you want some delicious barbecue. read more

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.

Payed 20$ for like five shrimp with shells on which I am, unfortunately, against as a matter of principle. The rest of it was aggressively mediocre as well. Lots of money for something not all that good! read more
