    Kimchi Fried Rice with Bugolgi
    Lorena A.

    Quick service and delicious bowls! Was able to add bugolgi to my kimchi fried rice and it was 10/10!! Def recommend even if the line is long it moves fast.

    Food: honestly the food was really good and the portions were good. Service: they were friendly and helpful since it was my first time there Ambiance: it's inside a food court plaza which is cool because you get to explore other restaurants The price is understandable still a slightly on the pricier end tho

    Best Bulgogi Burrito in town--an absolute must-try if you're craving something bold, flavorful, and unforgettable! Head over to Long Beach Exchange (LBX) and treat yourself to this perfect fusion of Korean BBQ and burrito goodness. Packed with tender, marinated bulgogi, fresh veggies, and savory sauces wrapped in a warm tortilla, every bite is satisfying. The vibe at LBX makes it even better--great food, great atmosphere, and plenty to explore. Don't miss out on this hidden gem that will keep you coming back for more!

    So good . Too much food. I can't wait to come back. Service was good. Wait was good for lunch time.

    Bulgogi Burrito
    Dominic D.

    I am usually not a fan of non traditional burritos but this bulgogi burrito was amazing. The meat was marinated perfectly and it was also very filling. My favorite was also the hot sauce, extremely hot and fiery you cannot finish it all by pairs perfectly. Service was quick and right away, chipotle style picking what you want. Ambiance was standard for the exchange, loud and crowded but good setting.

    Bulgogi bowl with spicy pork
    Casandra M.

    Had been wanting to try this place for months, and finally did. I tried the burrito, but with spicy pork belly, it was so good. And then another time tried the bulgogi bowl and added spicy pork, great flavor, hot for some reason I prefer the burrito. Definitely a great fusion spot, and I love they cook the meat to order so it's nice and fresh. Employees are nice and quick with service. It's in the hangar at LBX so there's lots of other style food going on as well.

    Bulgogi Burrito

    Thoughts: This place is located in a stall inside the LBX hanger, so it's easy to get tempted to go somewhere else. But make no mistake, the food here is very good. Their bulgogi burrito is very good, I can't describe the flavors that revolve around the bulgogi taste, but it's working. Portion size is good and this is very much a solid lunch option. The one thing I don't love is the price. $16 for a great lunch option is a bit too steep for my liking. Service: They take your order, you pay, and the food comes out in about 5-10 minutes. Very straightforward. Ambiance: LBX is a good spot. A place for friends and family. Tables and seats will be a difficult to come by though.

    Pretty good barbecue!…read more We ordered several combo platters, sampling through a variety of meats. The Spareribs and Brisket were very flavorful and satisfying - but if I had to nitpick, the 'cue could've been just a bit more tender - the texture was just a shade off of the true "gold standard" sort of barbecue that I've had in the past. Nevertheless - the bold, smoky flavors hit the spot - impressive stuff overall! Would recommend. PS - The beer selection here ain't too shabby, either!

    I HOPE CORPORATE GETS WIND OF THIS REVIEW!!! This is the Long Beach on Pine establishment to be…read moreclear. I would like to give this place a negative starts. To say service is very poor would be understatement. Arrived on Saturday and sat at open seating in the bar area at a table. After waiting over 30 minutes (and just observing the lady that was working the section socializing with guest like she could care less about helping take my order). So after waiting and watching the two lady bar servers continue to have extended conversations and pretty much ignoring myself and my guest...I walked to the bar and asked the bartender if anyone was taking orders in the open seating indoor area that we were sitting at. The bartender told me that the ladies working the section had to help wash dishes and basically unable to take myself and my guest orders. We ended up walking out and went to a neighboring restaurant along the waterfront strip. How hard would have it had been to take a couple of orders or at the very least say "Hello" or "Give us a minute we are a little busy". Don't keep talking to your favorite customers and continue to walk by myself and my guest without saying something. The whole vibe seemed like the moral at this establishment with this shift is very low. Teach your servers to engage with all guest instead of have social hour during their shift...at the bare minimum again, a simple "hello" or "I'll help you in a moment" This happened on Saturday 02/28/2026 from 4pm through 4:35 pm (if management wants to look at the cameras and see just how disengaged the staff was during this shift).

    DINNER FOR TWO SPECIAL…read more I don't know what's up with the mid reviews, this place is great for what it is!! Walking in is like being transported out of Long Beach and to the south.... Or a diner in big bear lake. It's charming. Anyways, I ordered the dinner for 2 for my mother and father. It came with a bit of bbq chicken, half rack of ribs, tri tip, catfish, cornbread, 2 sides, okra, sweet Potatoe fries and fried green tomatoes. I ordered myself a full rack baby back rib combo and it also came with two sides. French fries and mac. On top of that I ordered some hush puppies . I did not realize that I ordered that much food!!! It was sooo much. Cornbread - meh doesn't really have enough flavor but it's warm and you can add butter. The catfish- the breading was nice and crispy. French fries and mac and cheese- you can't ness that up. The tri tip- probably the best protein that we ate. Very soft. Ribs- needed more bbq sauce but you can order more. It was way better the next day when I heated them up. Chicken- I didn't eat it. My mom did. Hush puppies- fried cornbread. Not my thing. Sweet Potatoe fries- staple Fried green tomatoes- surprised me, that was actually good for literally a fried green tomato Okra- first bites, amazing, after a few it was too soggy for me. Just get the dinner for two. It's more than enough and you get to try a little bit of everything for 58 + dollars. Was it amazing? Not everything, but I appreciate the portion sizes and the variety.

    I was so excited to try this place after a former co-worker raved about the food. I was also…read moreexcited because it was located so close to my residence. I ordered delivery so expected the food to be more lukewarm than hot but was excited about the taste! It arrived and smelled wonderful and was surprisingly still steaming hot when I dig into the bag. Sadly, the flavor on the ribs was a fun and spicy as I prefer. But I was hopeful the strawberry lemonade would be a life changing as I was told. I grabbed a straw, punctured the cup, and took a big gulp waiting for the sugar high I was craving! Sadly, it too was less than I desired. Then the Mac and cheese wasn't as flavorful either. I began wondering what type of pallet my co-worker had? This is BBQ for babies. I did finish the food but definitely had to do some "doctoring up" of my own. C'mon Johnny, reach for the stars! Kick up the flavor and add more suga' to that lemonade! Every time I see you when I drive by, I wanna get excited but it just isn't happening...yet. I'll give it another try someday.
