    2 Entrees and 1 Side Lunch Special Combo
    Austin K.

    Food here is really well priced for the portions you get. Sweet and sour pork and pepper steak with chow mien is what's pictured. All for $12.12. Pretty solid. The service is always nice but it's definitely a take out place. I wouldn't really eat inside. The whole strip area isn't really vibing like that.

    Chicken Fried Rice
    Pedro E.

    This is how is chicken fried rice looks like. Not taste, no chicken just a few. It's just rice with vegetables. Horrible taste.

    23. Sweet and Sour Chicken 26. Mushroom Chicken Chow Mein Steamed Rice
    Julia M.

    The food was pretty yummy here, just your average Chinese fast food nothing special. The prices are super cheap and they LOAD your plate up.

    31. Sesame Chicken and 28. Orange Chicken

    To be honest its not the best If you are hungry then it would kinda good The flavor are not the best at all the rice taste funny and as well the chow mein Just not good But the customer service is good

    Hot and sour soup lacks flavor, not standard ingredients
    Michelle L.

    Ordered Hot and sour soup and egg rolls. Neither of them are standard like most Asian places and unfortunately very disappointing. The hot and sour soup lacks flavor as well as many of the basic ingredients your typical hot and sour soup has. It has many things that a wonton soup would have like zucchini, mushroom, and bok choy and wonton type shrimp? Very clear liquid very plain. The egg rolls are HUGE but because they are so oily it was gross. They are like little burrito sized drenched in oil, each bite of cabbage was drenched in oil, 0 out of 10. Very disappointing in quality of food as well as waste of money.

    Food was great and fresh, this was my first time. I'll definitely be back. Affordable and took 10'min!

    Combo chow mein, orange Chicken, and sweet and Sour Pork
    Graciela S.

    I ordered from this place via Delivery. The 4 stars is for overall quality of food. Below are my personal opinions of the items I purchased Combo plate with Chow Mein, Orange Chicken, and Sweet and Sour Pork & an order of egg rolls. Pros: The food arrived quick & hot. The portions are huge and enough to share or have left overs. My favorite was the orange chicken. I thought it tasted yummy without being too sweet. The food overall wasn't super greasy. The egg rolls are huge! Like really big. There is no meat in them, which I don't mind. They arrive super hot and still very crispy and flavorful. Cons: I wasn't a huge fan of the sweet and sour pork. I found it a bit bland and it was a bit chewy for my taste. I wouldn't order it again. The chow mein was overall good, but it lacked in flavor. Nothing a little soy sauce can't fix. I really enjoyed the egg roll, but thought there was way too much filling. I think if there was some kind of protein it might help break up all the cabbage. I would have liked to have the option to choose two different sides on the app. But that's a minor inconvenience. Overall, I would definitely order from here again. I would probably not order the sweet and sour pork again. But will definitely try other entree options.

    Orange chicken and white rice

    The orange chicken is nasty it don't take like orange chicken it was hard and the rice was dry, I asked for a refund and they didn't refund me the money they are rude and charge for every sauce u ask for in the restaurant it don't say anything about them not refunding your money simply rude I DONT NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL!! Horrible customer service and the cashier has her daughter about 4 years old in the workplace unprofessional

    I 2 Entrees and 1 Side Lunch Special Combo Half and Half

    I specifically ordered 2 item combo, came out to $13.22 to be exact, orange chicken and beef and broccoli were my specified items, this picture clearly shows the order is completely wrong, and I asked for more chow main than rice, looks half and half to me, and the guy repeated the order back to me, like WTF. Like HOW, how did this happen, I definitely need answers

    25. Kung Pao Chicken

    I Luv Ur Buns, I super miss you!…read more Really glad we got to stop in one last time before the swan song. Your Satay with Me will stay with me forever. Though very much a forever fan of the Orange U Yummy and your Triple Buns Mix 7 match deal. Hot Honey Bun (V) style was a so so good. Global Flavors on Bao Buns for all the yum and then some not to mention those vegetable spring rolls, fries and load fries as well as bowls. Service on the last weekend was a perfect 10/10. The vibes and decor at SteelCraft where ILUB called home is still nothing but great, live music/djs, tvs with sports or local events and an open air covered food and hangout hub. Easy parking in on of their 2 lots, see signs. This sign will absolutely be missed.

    When I heard that I Luv Ur Buns was closing for good after only a couple of years, it only made…read moresense for me to plan a quick excursion around the area and stop by to bid them adieu. It was a nice addition to the mini food court in Long Beach, but unfortunately, times got tough for them to the point where they had to pull the plug on their operations. I Luv Ur Buns was one of seven vendors at Steelcraft Long Beach on the southeast corner of Long Beach and Bixby. They had taken over the spot that used to be Waffle Love, and it was such a quick turnaround that on my first visit to Steelcraft Long Beach since the Waffle Love closure, I almost thought they seamlessly rebranded from waffles to bao buns lol. Signage was posted around the shipping container assigned to I Luv Ur Buns and even a signicade closer to Steelhead Coffee; the signs informed customers that they were closing and that the Sunday preceding Martin Luther King Jr Day would be their last day of business, which also happened to be the same day the LA Rams were playing in the NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs, so I almost thought Steelcraft would be jam-packed. Actually, no it wasn't even that busy, and there were several parking spots available just around Steelcraft. I definitely wanted to try a bao bun, but not a full dinner, so that left me with the two Global Flavors sections of the menu. One section was titled "Global Flavors on Bao Buns" where you basically get two bao buns. Don't think these bao buns are large by any means; I tried a couple at Sosogu sometime last year, and they're not that big either. They would have been the perfect size for a snack, but I was also curious about the other Global Flavors section, titled "Global Flavors with Rice or Fries". That section only has two line items: Mini Bowls and Loaded Fries. I didn't want fries, but when I asked about a Mini Bowl, I was informed that it was a deconstructed version of a bao bun with a small mound of rice. Wanting a little more variety, I went with the Bao Mi Mini Bowl. The menu did get a little confusing for me because I had noticed the (V), which usually stands for either vegan or vegetarian. However, they had several non-vegetarian items with (V), and that had me confused at first; like how is a bao bun with grilled pork belly vegetarian?? That's when the cashier, sporting a black nose ring, let me know that it can be ordered with a plant-based option, namely tofu. However, the cashier also mentioned the use of a shared fryer between their plant-based options and their regular options, so if you were strictly vegan, I'd think twice first. I asked how long the wait would be, and they estimated 10 minutes, which was pretty much spot on. I was given a pager that buzzed when my order was ready, and since there was plenty of space for me to eat, I was given a red tray with an "I Luv Ur Buns" sticker in the middle. The mini bowl was presented on a small tray, like one you'd use when you're giving out samples at a special event. I was also given a fork, which was another reason why I ordered a Mini Bowl over two bao buns as I wanted to keep my hands clean. Besides the grilled pork belly, the Bao Mi also comes with hoisin sauce, cucumber, jalapeno, onion, and cilantro. All of what I just mentioned tasted pretty good, though not necessarily as good as what I had at Sosogu last year. Then again, the Bao Mi is Vietnamese-style whereas Sosogu is Japanese, but between the two, which are the two cheapest options at $10, the Bao Mi was the most popular alongside their Korean-style, called Seoul on Fire. I'm pretty sure I would have liked Seoul on Fire better as it comes with Bulgogi beef, but the grilled pork belly was pretty good too. Just not as fatty as I would have liked. However, I didn't like their use of a wrapping paper between the tray and the food. That's because several grains of rice got stuck on the wrapping paper, and it was hard to pluck them off with my fork. As a result, it got kind of messy eating the mini bowl, and I almost thought I'd drop a piece of pork belly in the process! Luckily, I didn't, but I don't think that would be a problem with the bao buns since the bao bun from my mini bowl didn't stick to the wrapping paper at all. One thing I observed that I thought was kind of cool was witnessing the cashier hand deliver a tray of bao buns to an employee from Elio's Wood Fire Pizza, directly across from I Luv Ur Buns. I wouldn't say I love I Luv Ur Buns, but it made for a nice quick snack albeit a little pricey for a small bowl. I'm glad I gave them a try before they closed for good, and I made sure to bid them a proper adieu by returning the tray to them. They also had a small tray of I Luv Ur Buns stickers by their order window, so I made sure to pick up a couple as souvenirs. Thank you I Luv Ur Buns for serving the LBC for the past couple years, and sorry to see you go! Best wishes to Sonya, Mandy, and the rest of the team on their future endeavors.

Kafta Kabob was overcooked and dry. Chicken Kabob was very dry and tough. Salmon Kabobs were too well done but decent. Their garlic sauce only have a light hint of garlic flavor to it. The best part of the meal was the rice and hummus. We realized all the upcharges were added to our bill. We asked for an ONE extra pita bread, they charged $1.00. They only gave us 1 garlic sauce and I asked for another one because we ordered 2 plates. They charged me an extra 75 cents because one of these combo plates doesn't include garlic sauce. Uhm... ok. Apparently only 1 plate can have a garlic sauce. What kind of logic is that?! They both are Mediterranean plates with rice and hummus! 75 cents extra for a tiny garlic sauce. Custom charge of $3.00 was added to our $24 combo plates because I substitute the beef for another salmon Kabob. The other Kabob was a chicken. A takeout order, they charges 15 cents for a paper bag. Kafta Kebab plate $18.99 Mixed Grill Combo $23.99 Single pita bread $1.00 Custom Charge $3.00 Garlic Paste 0.75 PAPERBAG FEE 0.15 Credit card surcharge of 3% is added to the bill. The bill came out to be $55 for a takeout meal that's inside and behind a liquor store. All the highlighted upcharges on the receipt (see picture) that other restaurants does not charges. This is just taking advantage of your customer. Next time, I'll enjoy a nice sit down meal at a Mediterranean restaurant down the street with those prices. So underwhelming and disappointed. I know times are tough. I'm sure that $20 plus dollars you charge for a plate of food already made the business some profit already. It's tough for the customers as well, but taking advantage like this, I will never come back again which is too bad because my office is near and we would of made this our regular place to grab lunch. In honesty, it's not the extra few dollars that matter, it's the principle.

I was full after I ate the 1/2 lb sandwhich. They really pack in the roast beef! You definitely get your money's worth! I was very pleased with the order we placed. No regrets. They have unlimited drinks and unlimited sauces as well. Horse Radish, Arby Q sauce, honey mustard and ketchup. I combined everything to get the flavor I want on my sandwhich. The decor was ok. The music was playing a little too loud which made the ambiance feel hectic. Felt like everything was going to fast with the tunes playing. Like a fast Jazz Tempo.
