Delicious kimchi butter chicken and shrimp. The spam musubi was great too! Went back to pickup another plate for family to try.

Such a good deal for their family meals! I picked up a kimchi butter katsu chicken family meal for about $50 and it was a hefty amount of food. Leftover for days and the katsu reheated well. I don't really like the taste of kimchi so not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing, but I couldn't really taste it on the katsu. It just tasted super buttery! I will say that their mac salad threw me off because they include tuna and it wasn't as sweet as your typical Hawaiian mac salad. Online ordering was super easy since I wanted to place it in advance and it didn't seem like there was an upcharge compared to ordering in person/phone. My order was ready at the time I requested and was packaged well. There's a shared seating area with benches for those who want to eat there. Parking: this location is located in the "Uptown Commons" which is a tiny shipping container-like food hall off the 91/710 freeway. There is a parking lot that is shared with a few chains. read more

First time. Recommend!! Full of flavor. Chicken just the right crisp. Good customer service read more

Man for the first time I convinced myself to try Shootz (it wasn't that difficult, I love Haaiian food), I fell in love with it! The menu is pretty straightforward and simple. The food is delicious. The staff is helpful. And the overall experience of five out of five! Although, I've yet to dine in, if their staff is a fraction of how good their food is, I can't wait to pull up! Food: 5 out of 5 - 4pc Spam Brulee Musubi (5 out of 5) - Katsu Chicken Sandwich (5 out of 5) - Kimchi Butter Katsu Chicken (5 out of 5) - The Mixed Plate (5 out of 5) Overall Experience: 5 out of 5 Until lunch sometime this week! read more

As we approached the register, we were greeted by a delightful gentleman! I was sold just by his greeting. Then I asked a few questions about the musubi options and he explained. Ordered both options and then he offered us a cup to drink their well filtered water. Food was hands down exceptional! The rice was so soft, seaweed wrappers were crunchy and the protein/shrimp nice and warm. Oh! And the sauce in both items was sweet, tasty and perfect! Ambiance is quaint; order your food and eat outside. There is a small courtyard in the middle which is surrounded by other restaurants, so, you have food options. Loved everything about my experience at Shootz, if you would like a beer with your meal, there is a little bar only feet away from here. Returning for other meal options! read more

Shootz - 4 Pc Honey Coconut Shrimp Musubi...Oh. My. WOW! - Hawaiian Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

Shootz is located in a cute food court area with 3 other eateries and a central covered courtyard. This Hawaiian style menu is limited. Shrimp or chicken katsu over rice, in a sandwich or in a musubi. They can be ordered spicy or regular. They also have a different Mac Salad version with Tuna and their own tropical juice tea blends. You can order ahead, they have an app, or at the counter. I placed my order at the counter and they text when it's ready. Service was friendly and food was prepared quickly. I got the regular Mix Plate so I could try both chicken and shrimp and a side of Mac salad. The shrimp were big with a crispy outer layer crunch. The chicken katsu was ok. The sauce was pretty good. I liked the Mac salad with the Tuna. I think overall the food was good but expensive for portion you get. I would have preferred a little more rice and maybe a little less salty on seasoning. read more

Delicious food. That kimchi butter is so flavorful. First time and won't be the last! Quick and friendly service.

I had been wanting to try this place since they popped up on my TikTok feed. It looked delicious in the videos. Today was the day. Not only were the employees so nice, but the food was fantastic! I loved everything I tried (which was a bit of everything lol). It's in a great spot with plenty of outdoor seating. I'll definitely be back. read more

Best customer service ever!! The gentleman at the front counter, I think his name is Brandon, was cool, friendly, such a great person overall!! The dish my daughter ate was super spicy for her and he was so generous to make her a new one with no complaints. I have only seen a handful of great customer service and this is definitely one of them!! Not to mention, the chicken was delicious. It was crunchy, seasoned perfectly, and juicy at the same time. read more

(Rewriting to correct a typo and inaccuracy): I hate spam email. BUT I LOVE SPAM BRULEE MUSUBI! So do I like spam? No, I'm not going to answer that question in this review, but I will answer the question of "Do I recommend Shootz?" with a resounding YES! The Long Beach Shootz is located at Uptown Commons on the northeast corner of Atlantic and Artesia. If you're not sure what Uptown Commons is, think SteelCraft, but on a smaller scale; there were literally just three restaurants inside. Shootz is one such restaurant, and Main Chick Hot Chicken is another. I actually went to the latter first to get a chicken sandwich, but since I was getting hangry, I also wanted to try either Shootz or the third restaurant, La Super Birria^. While waiting for my order at Main Chick, I stepped inside Shootz, and Brandon was there to greet me. He was ready to take my order, but I told him I was waiting for my order at Main Chick. However, I saw on their menu they offer both Spam Brulee Musubi and the Honey Coconut Shrimp Musubi. I hadn't had musubi before, so I used this opportunity to ask Brandon to describe the two. With the help of some posters on the opposite side of the order counter, he described them well enough that I was interested in trying one of the musubis. But I had to eat my chicken sandwich first! While enjoying my chicken sandwich, I was thinking about the musubis as well as a sign in the far corner that advertised Musubi Mondays where they offer both of their musubis for $3 each. On the menu, the Honey Coconut Shrimp was actually a little more expensive than the Spam Brulee. I also remembered Brandon mentioning that the honey coconut shrimp was actually a shrimp tempura, and I don't believe I like tempura, so it was a pretty easy decision for me: 2 Spam Brulee Musubi. Musubis are sold in ones and twos where the price of two is less than double the price of one. After finishing my sandwich, my hands were greasy, and I didn't have any napkins on me. I returned to Shootz where a couple were getting ready to place their order. After they placed their order, I went up to Brandon again and asked for napkins to clean my hands. I hope that's not considered bad form, but I really needed to clean my hands! He was happy enough to give me not one, but two napkins. He must have really wanted my hands to be clean! haha Anyways, I told him I was sold on the Spam Brulee, thinking that if I like creme brulee, I might like Spam Brulee too! Either my logic was reasonable or way out of whack, but I'm happy to report that it was the former! At least for this visit. Brandon then asked me for my name as well as my phone number so he could text me when my order was ready. It really took only 5 minutes before I got the text, and Brandon handed me my order in a small plastic bag while wishing me a good evening with a smile on his face. I thought about taking the musubi back home to eat, but I decided to eat at the picnic tables in the middle of Uptown Commons. I took out the small plastic container that held not two, but four pieces of musubi! I was expecting two, but got four! A pleasant surprise considering two pieces would have been too little for the price point, but four? Not unreasonable if you ask me. Each musubi was like an oversized piece of sushi. Maybe two regular pieces on top of one another, but the top side has green onions as well as some sauce (Japanese Mayo?) that really makes this musubi a must try! One bite, and my eyes lit up! It tasted so good that I liked it better than the hot chicken sandwich I had minutes earlier! Everything tasted so fresh, and did I mention how good the Japanese Mayo was? I can see my female Yelp friends saying, "Chef's Kiss!" if they were to write a review of this spot. Brandon's demeanor was incredibly superb! Seriously, give that man a raise! Or a promotion! Each year, Yelp offers a set of awards called the Servies, which honor the hard-working front of house staff who don't nearly get as much recognition as they deserve, sometimes even having to deal with angry customers who get upset at even the smallest things. I know my interaction with Brandon was rather fleeting and brief, but if the Servies weren't limited to just table service restaurants, he would definitely earn a nomination from me. Shootz does have a rewards program, but spending $100 for a $5 reward wasn't enough of an incentive for me to sign up. After working a day I don't normally work and going on a rather long shopping trip afterwards, I was honestly expecting to just nap the weekend away. Instead, after my visit to Shootz, I actually had enough energy to avoid napping the next day! If MrBeast says, "To Sheetz! And get a banana!" I'll say, "To Shootz! And get a musubi!" ^ La Super Birria has since closed at Uptown Commons. That spot is now La Casa De La Baleada read more

The macaroni salad was very bland. Butter Katsu didn't really have much flavor besides the butter. Seems like they're trying to do to much for Hawaiian bbq. The prices are reasonable given the portion sizes. Service was good. read more

Not bad food at all just way to filling sloppy and greasy would rather hit Ono ! Got the katsu plate maybe I got the wrong item tho I just feel really terrible tho after the meal. Good for Dave's hot chicken type beat but not Hawaiian food good flavors just way too fat and greasy not fresh authentic Hawaiian PSA I know it's fusion ! read more

The Chicken Sando is worth the drive, but the Musubis are a whole-nother vibe. Its Hawaiian style food. What sets it apart from other hot sandos was the flavors and macaroni salad stuffed inside OMGee. Place is tucked inside a small Food court style in the corner off the freeway. Pro-Tip: Do not pass in the Spam Musubis, both were delicious. Both have contrast flavors, soooo good. read more

This week is Long Beach Black Restaurant Week January 21-28, 2024. I went to https://blackrestaurantweeklb.com/ Shootz is listed so I gave them a try for dinner. I ordered online and my table was ready when I arrived. The restaurant entrance is from the street and it was difficult to locate navigate where to enter from the parking lot. Uptown Commons appears to be a collection of train box cars turned restaurant. About 4 businesses with a shared dining area. The area is trendy and can seat quite a few people. The cashier was blaze and basically just handed me my food, no more no less. There were two people in line in front of me and ordering for them did not take long. I ordered a Mix plate: Kimchi Butter Katsu Chicken & Kimchi Butter Shrimp, Rice and Macaroni Salad. The shrimp was lightly battered and deep fried and the chicken was crispy and juicy. Their signature kimchi butter topped both and both remained crispy. The steamed rice was yummy, with the kimchi butter drippings and furikake on top. I had to look up the definition. LOL). Macaroni salad was made with tuna and boiled egg. Everything was delicious. I suggest you give them a try. PS I believe one of the owners is Black. I couldn't locate a bio. read more

Shootz - This is a must try dish! The food is so flavorful and not too expensive - Hawaiian Near Me - Long Beach, California

We happened on this place after going to another place where we couldn't find parking. Luckily this is near a Chase with a parking lot. It's located next to Wendy's and is in a communal space- There's a taco, hot chicken, and used to be ramen shop near it. The cashier was really patient as we decided what we should order and gave us samples of the drinks...which were way too sweet for us lol. My husband ordered the Hot Kimchi Butter Katsu Chicken Sandwich and I got the Kimchi Butter Katsu Chicken Plate, both were combos - one with Brulee and one with coconut shrimp musubi's. Instead of a sandwich, he got a plate. The Brulee musubi's were my favorite out of the two. The rice was fresh and bouncy, and the spam had a nice layer of sweetness to it. It wasn't too salty, which I enjoyed. The shrimp one was too doughy and it didn't taste like they had just fried it. The white coconut sauce on it didn't add much flavor to the overall dish. As for the katsu, that was pretty good. Not too sweet, crispy, warm, and whatever their brulee sauce is is really good with with meat and rice. I thought the spicy katsu was a little too spicy for me, but my husband didn't think there was any spice lol. Experiment with that one. We agreed that this katsu is way better than anything around where we live. Our only complaint is how thin each strip was for being chicken instead of pork. Seating is in an open area at the center of all the eateries I mentioned above and next to a pretty busy intersection. There's loud music, and it looks like there's additional lighting and heaters surrounding the tables. read more

Great food. Love the kimchi butter and the crispiness of the chicken and shrimp. Musubi and the aloe are bomb. Best part is the service, I tried to order online and the asap order pickup somehow placed the order in the next day. I called and the staff and manager were able to adjust and get my order made that evening. Above and beyond the normal operating procedures and I that speaks a lot for customer value. read more

Inside the commons food area you wouldn't expect much since the restaurant is so small. The guy who helped out was super friendly. Ordered the butter chicken katsu place, the spicy butter chicken katsu sandwich, and the brulee spam musubis. Everything was delicious, that butter chicken katsu is something else. Can't describe it but it was so flavorful and just so good. Will definitely be coming back for more. read more

The customer service is outstanding, the food is just ok. I'm glad we stopped in, but I probably wouldn't go back

Service is always quick, food is delish, and the ambiance is great. If you haven't tried it, I definitely recommend you give them a try.

Me and the hubby have been to the Rodeo 309 location and this was our first time to the Long Beach location. This location is apt smaller, Its located in the Uptown Commons. There's outside seating kind of enclosed but you can still hear traffic nearby. It's a pretty busy street and right off the 710 and 91 fwy interchange. We only had one person in front of us and ordered within a couple minutes. I ordered Kimchi butter shrimp plate comes with Mac and white rice. The hubby Stephen ordered Kimchi chicken sandwich and hot chicken masubi. The Fountain drink station didn't work at first and it took a few minutes until our cashier came back to plug it in but once it was plugged in it worked. For a Saturday I would have liked more staff available but maybe someone was on break?? The lady that took our order also was helping in the back with orders. Our order took almost 20 minutes and the Cost with tip was $39. Overall the food was good but It just felt heavy in my stomach later on. Maybe it was the butter?? I like shootz but I may just be going back to the Rodeo 309 location. read more

EXCELLENT SERVICE! EXCELLENT FOOD! A friend of mine introduced this joint to me and oh boy was I blown away. My favorite chicken sandwich spot. And I absolutely love their kimchi chicken katsu plate as well! Sarahy always served me and she was attentive, fast, and so courteous even when I came in last 15 minutes. Excellent service and definitely made me go back! This location is a 10/10!! read more

The spam musubi and the sandwich were both really good and juicy and it didn't take too long for our food to be ready. The seating area around was not great and did not have a lot of soul. We went to go sit in the car. The bathroom also had an Out of Order Sign on it and we were told by the person at the register that it was broken but then were let in by another employee. He said that they didn't want people to know it was usable. read more

Lived around the corner from here for years and I never thought to stop by until today! Vibes here are chill with plenty of seating and parking. There's a bodyguard in the area too which is a bit sketch, but we ball. The are quick, efficient and get you what you need! The food here is BOMB! This might become a guilty pleasure spot for me since it's literally 2 minutes from my house. Thanks, Shootz! read more

Cozy Hawaiian-inspired comfort food in Uptown Commons shopping center. Small menu with chicken Katsura chicken sando, spam musubi, and loco moco. Their claim to fame is their kimchi butter which they put on all their proteins. If you like simple flavorful food and not afraid to get your hands dirty, this place may be for you. The katsu is fantastic, but don't sleep on the shrimp. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. read more

A bit hard to find for your first time. But experience wise is great. Great quality of food and well timed.

This place is my go-to spot. If you get the 2 sandwich 2 musubi combo, it comes out to ~$12 per person after tax, which is a great deal nowadays considering thats about the price of a McDonald's meal. But Shootz has hands down the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. I can't get enough, and everybody I've recommended this place to has become a convert to the Shootz religion. Mac salad on the chicken sandwich is so good! Not the fault of the restaurant, but I had a bad experience where one person (clearly on drugs) ended up harassing me and my friends while we were trying to eat. After about 5 mins Shootz staff intervened and apologized. The eating space outdoors is public and shared with other restaurants, but it would've been nice if they had stepped in earlier or compensated us in some way. Other than that, the food is fantastic and the staff is very friendly. read more
