    Vermicelli -Combo (pork & chicken)
    L F.

    My family usually orders their egg rolls for catering. Always so fresh, crispy and delicious. These are always a hit at parties and never last long. Today my sister wanted a Thai tea, since we were nearby we stopped in to grab a drink and food. Vermicelli combo was soooo good. Very large portion. Plus you know I had to get a side of the crispy egg rolls & sesame balls. I will definitely come back to try their banh mi. Highly recommend 10/10

    Amazing staff and drinks. I need to come back to try some food! Small store knocks a mighty punch and deserves some recognition at providing the west side of long beach with some great service! This place was plenty busy during the after school rush but they handled it like pros. Because of their little panda on their cups, I was able to count this as part of my "30 before 30" adventure to go to 30 tea stores (preferably animal theme) before I'm 30!

    Chicken Bahn Mi

    Ok so I drove over here because of the good reviews and my god- so not disappointed. First of all, service was great. The guy taking my order was down to earth. The place does seem small, but ok to take your food to go which seems the locals do. My Bahn Mi was blissfully tasteful. I devoured that probably less than a minute!

    Milk tea and Thai tea

    I love this place! It's gives such a homey feel for me. Affordable prices and delicious. My favorite thing to get is the milk tea and Thai tea special and some of their delicious egg rolls! This is definitely a west side Long Beach staple and must try!

    After a health checkup, we were craving for a quick summer evening snack. We have ordered Sesame balls, Passion Fruit Smoothie Boba, Pina Colada Smoothie Boba and Pad Thai for a quick evening snack for my Toddlers and us. The smoothies are really refreshing. Kids also loved it. Kids really liked the PadThai. It was sweet and savoury for me but the kids enjoyed it as it was not spicy. Sesame balls are really worth the price. 3 balls for 1$. The order was prepared very quickly. We picked up our order and went to nearby Kids park , admiral kidd park and enjoyed our evening snack to the fullest as it was a hot summer evening. Would definitely go back to try different food varieties and will definitely recommend it to my friends.

    The tea tastes amazing. The service was nice and fast. The ambiance is calm, steady. The shop is small but definitely great for grab n go. Can't wait to come again

    Great prices for good food and drinks. I got the pork spring rolls and Jasmine milk tea. For the spring rolls I asked for peanut sauce and I was disappointed in it; it tastes more like a soy/teriyaki with peanuts on top, I do not recommend it. I got the jasmine tea at 25% sweetness and I loved that it really tasted like jasmine tea. Service was good and quick, the inside is small, more of a to go vibe.

    Another typical day for some Banh Mi and drink. I passed by this place several times traveling on Willow St, catching the 710 fwy. Today is the day to give them a try. Im surprised to see how busy it is on Sunday at noon. While waiting, I decided to browse the menu. I admit, many convincing choices like the Pho, Fried Rice, etc... but banh mi is the pick. Inside is pretty small, I mean compact. Only fit about 2 - 5 customers if standing along the window. Otherwise, exterior out you go 4/5. Nothing fancy, maybe interior decor would be nice. Customer service experience was great 5/5. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Drink: 1. Vietnamese Ice Coffee W/ Boba $5.50 Sandwich: 1. Special Banh Mi Sandwich $5 Side Order: 1. 4x Chicken/Shrimp Eggrolls $0.75 each 1. Spicy Fish Balls x10 pcs $5 Im impressed with the sandwich. They definitely made it right. Wasn't plain. Every bite, you are literally enjoying it. Soft, crispy, and warm 5/5. Fresh is in the name. The Eggrolls were delicious. The combo flavor was tender and flavorful 5/5. Trying the fish balls was something new for experience. They had spicy, and I'm a huge fan of spice. OMG, they were good 5/5. Be warn, if you can't tolerate spicy food, I suggest getting it plain. The spicy level is pretty much 8/10. The Vietnamese Ice Coffee and with boba was something I dont do often. I guess I'm feeling lucky. It was good. Good mixed with the condensed milk 5/5. This place is unique in their own way. It's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Keep in mind that share parking space so it can get full fast since there's 2 other restaurants in that plaza 4/5. They have street parking, which helps. Please share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

    My New Go-To Coffee Spot -- You HAVE to Try This Place! I…read morewas just recently introduced to this little gem, and I am so glad I was! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm, cute, and incredibly welcoming -- the kind of spot that instantly feels like your place. The drinks are on point. I've tried the iced coffee and the matcha, and both were excellent -- not overly sweet, not watered down, just really well done. But what truly won me over? The breakfast sandwiches. I had a croissant sandwich with sausage, egg, and cheese, and it was chef's kiss -- fresh, high-quality ingredients, generous portions, and packed with flavor. Not a single corner cut. And the service? Amazing. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of. That kind of hospitality is rare and it absolutely elevates the whole experience. This is officially my new coffee spot, hands down. Whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee or sitting down for a full breakfast, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won't regret it!

Walking in the ambiance was regular typical cafe. The customer service was traditionally basic. I ordered for 4ppl and when I arrived home I noticed my order was partially wrong. I ordered 2 bacon avocado toast, 1 avocado toast and a grilled cheese. They forgot the bacon on one of the avocado toast. And 2 of the 4 drinks weren't full. As I mentioned it was about a 20 minute drive so I just took the loss. The taste of the food was ok for 2 of the ppl other 2 ppl one being myself was kind turned off with the missing bacon and half full drinks so I basically trashed my meal. I'm aware humans make mistakes but that alone doesn't make me want to rush back to this location. I do want to mention something good about this place I did like how they dressed up the avocado toast with the egg on the side.

It's located in Bixby Knolls, surrounded by coffee shops, restaurants, bars and breweries, yet it's the only true wine bar right there. Honestly, Long Beach has more wine bars than most surrounding areas, and since the South Bay is packed with breweries, if you're tired of beer this is your sign to switch it up. You will not regret it. The food menu has cheese boards, salads and sandwiches, and everything I've had here has been delicious. The cheese boards are better than sex. There is seating indoors and outdoors. It's minimal, but somehow we always manage to find a table. The service is consistently great and the owner is wonderful. She will be leaving soon and she will absolutely be missed, but what she has built here will definitely be cherished. The new owners fell in love with the place, so you can expect it to be well taken care of and to remain just as charming. Parking is street only, so read the signs carefully so you don't end up with a ticket. If you go on a Sunday there are no restrictions or time limits, which makes it even better.

The server (owner?) asked if we wanted cheese and Cole slaw, and that's how we got it. The sandwich was big enough to share so if the sandwich seems pricey, consider sharing. Although on a hungry day, I could probably eat it all with no problem. Dilly's has a fairly decent amount of craft beers on draft. I wasn't in a beer-drinking mood so I didn't look too closely at the list. I love it when restaurants support local brewers, and this looks like the kind of place that would do just that.

    Heard about Dilly's Sandwiches having the most unique rotating set of beers on tap in Long Beach,…read moreso had to come to try it. The taste portions were very reasonably priced, allowing to create your own flight (or two). Specifically scheduled an early afternoon to come to the Lakewood Village neighborhood of East Long Beach. My wife found an angled parking spot right in front. It wasn't too crowded inside and the four of us found easy, comfortable seating in the brightly decorated dining room. One places and pays for the order at the counter, with the proprietors being very friendly and engaged. They brought out our beers after the pour, and the sandwiches a bit after (since each is individually carefully made). Beers: - Northern Lager [Oxbow] - ($5 for 13oz pour) was clean, crisp and a hoppy aftertaste. - Infinite Hotel [The Wayfinder X Bierstadt] (marked as $3 but charged $4) is a rice lager and was the favorite of the group for its drinkability - Winteruption [JK's Farmhouse] ($3) is a cider with very strong maple syrup overtones: never tasted anything like it. - Hyper Paradise [Rare Barrel] ($4) - saison and ale with mango and passion fruit. I liked this beer very much. - A Place Like Home [Pure Project] ($3) - Nitro poured Extra Special Bitter. - Double Negative [Grimm] ($4) - Imperial Stout, which I really enjoyed. - Amongst Friends [Sante Adairius] ($4) - a cherry saison, unusual and was glad to sample. A lot of work was put into creating this flight, with the careful pours and markings to make sure I knew what was what. I really appreciated the opportunity to sample all of these on-tap. In terms of the food, the group as a whole really liked them, though I guess I wasn't as impressed with my two samples, mainly because it used non-descript deli meat in OK quantities, heating them up when necessary. Hot Beef ($18) was my wife's, and it had been griddled with cheese to form a crispy lattice. The Ham and Cheese ($16) was served cold and had potato chips inside which my mother-in-law liked (saving the other half for home). Our friend and I split the Hot Turkey ($16) and Pastrami No 19 style ($20). The pastrami meat was piled high and the cole slaw was crisp and good, but was served cold (should have read the description more closely) and mediocre rye bread broke apart quickly. The Hot Turkey ($16) was served on ciabatta that had been grill pressed for a long time, creating a wonderful crust as good as any sandwich I've had. But the filling was OK, using standard turkey breast slices from a loaf and an ok stuffing...using hand carved turkey would have made a big difference here, but understand it's hard to do. Strangely, even though it's a pickle adorned shop, each sandwich just came with an ordinary pickle spear, what one would expect from a diner, not a deli. And the prices are on the higher side, especially with no sides and most not being particularly ginormous. But I loved how each sandwich used different breads, and how some of them were toasted very well. And having the opportunity to try these unique beers made it a really good experience.

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.
