    SteelCraft  Vendors.
    Debbie D.

    On 05/12/26, I Visited Steel SteelCraft Long Beach which is an outdoor, open-air urban eatery located in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood of Long Beach, California. It's a neat structure entirely built from repurposed shipping containers. It's a cool dining and social place that offers a variety of local food vendors, craft beer, coffee, and desserts. The venue now changes out vendors which will provide more tasting experiences. We dined at "Elio's Wood Fire Pizza". The pizza is delicious . I had Pepperoni, Sausage, Black Olives, Onions & Red Bell Pepper. Yummy! For drinks we tried "Off Duty Beer & Wine". I was not disappointed. We tried the Figueroa Mountain Pale Ale & the Watermelon Aqua Fresca Hard Cider. They were both very good & refreshing. The customer service was good at each vendor we tried. The worker at "Off Duty Beer & Wine" was very informative. I recommend this venue. There is a parking area in the back of the venue and a larger parking lot across the street. This is a great place for a family day or date night.

    This is the outside of the place. They have beer on tap as well and Flat TV's.

    Omg if you are ever in Anaheim you need to stop at this place to enjoy the variety of delicious foods and desserts they have to offer. Service is excellent and vibe is great. You will not regret going here to enjoy dinner drinks and dessert.

    First time here and we celebrated my brothers 16th birthday! They don't take reservations and it's pretty busy so I got there at 5p to grab a table. They let me decorate with a table cloth, air filled balloons and a cake. They don't allow helium balloons. They have 2 tv's and different food vendors. It's like a food market/food court. Hangry Belly (burgers) - they were out of brisket, avocado and turkey patties which is their top sellers. They have chili cheese fries and other loaded fries options too. Tacos and Birria Ramen Huge portions and lots of birria. They don't skimp out here. They give sauces, limes and the sides of rice and beans are huge Pizzeria About $18 - lots of pepperoni it was so good. We got extra for $3. You get a whole pizza of 8 slices so it's worth the price Beer bar Birria Tacos - very good they give you 2 big ones and pack it with meat. The birria ramen is good to but it does need a bit more flavor Hangry belly- the meat is delicious but it's a potato bun so not my fav. I like a softer moist bun. The parking isn't the best. It's a small parking lot or surrounding parking a block a way if you find any. They had a cool live dj but NO ARCADE OR GAMES HERE. That's at the Bellflower location.

    It was Oktoberfest there. Pretty Kool crowd. All ages even family. You can order beer or food. Not sure if they have spirits. Pretty Kool spot. #HaveYourOwnExperience

    I came here literally just for Elio's wood fire pizza! I usually drive from OC all the way to LA for their food truck. It's always worth the drive but when I found out that they just opened a location in Long Beach, I knew I had to go. It was our first time at steel craft so I wasn't aware that there was going to be more food vendors. I loved how there was a variety of food choices and that there was a small brewery. I was able to grab a beer and have it with my pizza which was great! Now let's get to the pizza. 10/10!!!! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! If you haven't tried Elio's yet now is the time! We got a margherita pizza with pepperoni and a white pizza with sausage. The dough itself is so light and you can taste the fire from their wood fired oven. Worth the drive! I've gone to so many pizza spots and hands down Elio's is up in my top 5.

    Such a vibe for sure. Came here with my husband for lunch and the concept of this place is def cool. Lots of containers with different vendors and you can pick and choose what you want to eat and there is something for everybody. They have a brewery onsite and the other vendors sell drinks too. I love the open space, the lights and just ambiance is pretty cool. They even have TV's with sports on so you. An easily catch a game here too. I ordered food from the Mexican vendors and my husband for a Pizza. Both were very delicious. The pizza was great and love that they give it to you in the box already in case you don't finish it you can take it to go. My tacos were delicious, especially my fish taco was the best one for sure. The presentation was great and they even tasted good as well. Their chips were a bit greasy for me but still good, their salsa was fantastic. They had other fun food options as well it's just what you are in the mood for. The spots we grabbed food the service was great, very efficient and hard working. Love the concept of the place and of you are looking to meet up with friends for a quick bite or hang on a Friday night this is the spot for sure.

    The birria tacos were amazing! Juicy, fresh, consome- delicious. The service was quick, the location was not too crowded- they have their own parking lot plus an additional lot. Outdoor location- pet and family friendly.

    Came here with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. There is a variety of food options to choose from. I got a burger and fries, both of which were pretty good. Some friends got Mexican food and enjoyed it. There's a great variety of beers to choose from as well, all the ones I tried were delicious! I'm a big fan of the outdoor seating for fresh air. Also, a big plus was the clean bathroom!

    I come to SteelCraft every year or two and I appreciate how they offer a unique take on dining. They have a few different food options, coffee, and Smog city has taps if you want a refreshing beer. Parking can be found in the lot or in the neighborhood.

    Parking can be an issue at times, the lot is small. There is street parking and also additional parking across the street. It's a bit small, the employees keep the place clean. There is a good variety of foods

    This original location of SteelCraft food court opened in Long Beach in 2017. It has since expanded to nearby Bellflower and Garden Grove. It was my first time here, so my wife explained how things worked. Parking can always be a problem in Long Beach, but it seemed as if it was well thought out...with multiple well marked lots to park for free, and even neighboring businesses allowing their spots to be used after their business hours. It consists of six, soon-to-be 7 food vendors (Asian, Pizza, burgers, beer, Mexican, coffee, and acai) and there is no overlap of cuisines between vendors. Everybody shares communal bench seating tables (though when we came it wasn't too busy so got a table to ourselves). We stopped in for lunch on a Friday, and it's a typical food court set-up, where you choose the vendor and order/pay with them. There is a shared water dispenser, so you can fill up if you have your own water container. Otherwise all other food and beverages are not allowed. There is one set of gender bathrooms for the complex (4-6 stalls in each). We are thinking about suggesting a group gathering of 40 people here, and the management has processes in place to handle such scenarios...so will work with them in the future. If it works out, will definitely come back to update my review.

    Birria Ramen and Califries

    The food all looked delicious but the birria ramen and califries from La Taqueria Brand was the best. Yissel provided quick and helpful service in helping me chose what to purchase. The place was clean and well themed. Definitely would come again and try the rest of their speciality menu

    Hello! Are there patio warmers or heaters on cold days? Looking to go for the winter but have children

    Yes, they have heaters. Sitting closer to the street side is warmer.

    Are there outdoor heaters?

    Yes! There are some in the covered area where tables are!

    I understand it's open seating but if a group showed up on a Saturday night, what would be a good time to show up to claim some tables before there's a crowd?

    Great question! It's tough to say there's a consistent time when you can claim tables, especially on a Saturday night. If you would like guaranteed seating, you can always fill out the Host An Event form on steelcraftlb.com/contact and reserve… Read more

    Are mask still mandated? For customers and employees?

    Masks are no longer mandated per the latest CDC/LBC orders. It's recommended for unvaccinated and those who are immunocompromised. As with all situations, please be safe and practice common sense with your choice to mask or not.

    At what time does Steelhead coffee close?

    Steelhead Coffee closes at 5pm daily!

    Can you bring the doggy?

    All furry friends are allowed at SteelCraft as long as they are leashed!

    Are there outlets to charge devices?

    Unfortunately there aren't any charging stations. However, there is one outlet located on the north facing picnic area under the TV.

    Anymore ramen avail and takoyaki when are they going to be avail?

    Hi there! We have delicious birria ramen from La Taqueria Brand, other than that our ramen/takoyaki vendor is no longer at this location. Let us know if you have any further questions.

    Is there a place where can park our bikes?

    Yes

    Is the Long Beach location open yet for outdoor dining?

    Hi There! Yes, we are open for outdoor dining.

    Will you be showing the Dodger game today?

    Yes, absolutely! With sound on! :)

    Playing the Laker game 10/11? :)

    Absolutely! With sound on. :)

    Can someone please explain the voucher system to me? Why is it necessary? Seems like a lot of rigamarole for no reason.

    Hello Ahm, Thank you for your question. Since Smog City Brewing is a brewery and not a restaurant… Read more

    Is the only vegan option the Ramen?

    Hi J.W.! Everything is vegan at Rainbow Juices! They have fresh juices, ready-made meals,… Read more

    Do they close their doors right at 9pm? Do they kick people out?

    They won't necessarily close the doors or kick people out, but you'll realise kitchens start closing and people cleaning out the tables. That's your cue :)

    Did they get rid of the snow cone ice cream place that was located outside?

    Yes, unfortunately they closed their doors.

    Do you need to make reservations or you can just walk in?

    Walk in!

    Is the shaved ice place still open?

    Not sure. If it's not you could always try the deep fried ice cream :)

    Does it get crowded on Saturday's around 1:30?

    Most of the times it gets crowded. Depending on the weather.

    Do they have TVs to watch sports?

    Yes they do! :)

An Easter bunny making its first appearance with the little one. Plus the weather was great which brings people out. Location is amazing as there's shopping, and dining inside and surrounding area. There's plenty of parking with the massive lot all over. Inside, I did see some familiar places from the last time as well as some new spots that popped up. I don't know if a lot of them do well. But if they do, it means they're good. You have the food stalls, there's a brewery towards the back and also a Long Beach shop right in the middle. Seating is limited inside but plenty of seating right outside. Some covered and some out in the open. Loads of restaurants to choose from outside which is more full on dining experience.

Plenty of parking - some right along the street, or in their large parking lot. Convenient cluster of restaurants to choose from with open seating. Depending on what you feel like eating, they have quite a variety to choose from. Most restaurants give you a pager to notify when your food is ready, so the service is convenient while you can walk around to shop for other food. We ending up getting poke bowl, beef skewers, a burrito, and some other stuff. Interior decor is comfortable and welcoming. Has an open and chilled vibe. Would I come back again? Maybe. No restaurant stood out too much, but they're not bad either. (Actually, the $13 Beef tenderloin skewer was really really good, but then again, those small 6 bites of meat cost more than a whole giant burrito I got.) I think I'd try to explore other options first before circling back to this place.

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.

There are a couple of other eateries next to it, with a shared communal outdoor dining space in the middle. You can't skip on their spam brulee musubi when you eat here! But our favorite from the menu has to be the kimchi honey butter chicken. It's so tender and has just the right amount of spice. You can get it in a plate or in a sandwich. Both are good, but I actually prefer the plate so you can enjoy it with the rice and macaroni salad, and not quite as messy. This is a great fast casual option - I recommend grabbing to go and taking a short drive to enjoy it on the beach!

    Kimchi butter for the win!…read more It was my first time ever to try Shootz and I am now a big fan of Kimchi butter. This spot is known as the "original home of kimchi butter" and after you try at least one of their items with it, you will know why it is so amazing. I got to try several different dishes here and I loved each one! I first tried their Mixed Plate. You can choose the Mixed Plate to be regular or spicy. I chose mine as the regular version. It comes with kimchi butter katsu chicken and kimchi butter katsu shrimp, two scoops of steamed rice and one scoop of Mac salad. The kimchi butter katsu chicken was my favorite. The katsu chicken was perfectly crisp outside and juicy inside. Both the chicken and shrimp were smothered in the famous kimchi butter, which made the mains so savory and rich. I also really loved the Mac salad. It was so creamy and comforting. Equal in deliciousness was the Hot Kimchi Butter Katsu Chicken Sandwich. The same tasty and crispy katsu chicken was topped with Mac salad, creamy Kimchi aioli and brûlée brown sugar and placed in between two Hawaiian buns. So ono! This is now on the list of some of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. I also tried their Spam Brûlée Musubi. This is a spam musubi drizzled with kimchi aioli and brûlée brown sugar. It was umami packed and seriously addicting. Alongside all the savory food, I got a refreshing Strawberry Pineapple Lemonade. It was the perfect pair to all the delicious food. Last but not least, I had to try their ube beignets. I love both ube and beignets and so this dessert was a true dream come true. It was so airy, pillowy and sweet. Oh Shootz! I am a fan! This spot is amazing. One thing to note is that this spot is located at the Uptown Commons in Long Beach. The seating is all located outside so all the food is takeout. Also one other thing to note is parking can be a bit tough. It's totally worth a visit though.

    Love, love, love this ramen spot! The broth here is so flavorful and not salty. My usual is the…read moreshoyu ramen because I love how fresh it tastes. I'm a sukiyaki broth lover, so it's somewhat similar to that taste profile. I like how they also provide garlic and house spicy sauce as it just makes the ramen even better and seals the deal. The crispy rice with spicy tuna is perfection-- you get the bottom bed of crisp with fresh avocados, spicy tuna, and a kick of jalapeño. They also provide watermelon infused water, which was perfect for a warm day out. Although this restaurant is quite small, service was fast and very accommodating. I have been here several times and service plus quality of the food never changes! Seats here don't have any back support but it adds to the modern aesthetic and vibe of the restaurant. I've been eyeing the cucumber crab salad, so I look forward to coming back and trying it next time.

    We came on a Tuesday. There was no wait at all. Checking in was a breeze. The place is pretty…read moresmall. Seats do not have back support in case that is something you're looking forward to It took about 3 minutes for the appetizers to come out and then 9 minutes after that for the ramen. The water is fused with a fruit. This time it was watermelon mint. We tried the tonkatusu and shoys. Both tasted great. The shoya had a meatier tasting broth whereas the other was thicker and a bit creamier. We also tried the pork buns. They were soft and suppose. The meat was tender. The buns would have been less moist since it made it a tad bit soggy. But nonetheless it was still very good. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was shocking. It was so good. I hate tuna but this was very good. It wasn't fishy at all and had such a great umami taste to it all I would totally recommend this place to someone who wants a simple ramen menu that is priced around $20 per entree. The wait can get about an hour or more on the weekend but if you come during the week try to get there before 7pm. The only down side is they add a service charge to your bill. On their menu it's scratched out that you can take it off the bill. I think this is their way of tipping their servers but considering it's 17% is pretty hefty if you have a large bill. From a bill of about $35 it was a $5 service fee charge.

    One of the few remaining malls that's still hopping!…read more A large selection of shops of all types. The main areas are kept pretty clean because they have an ample staff of folk, and their food court has a good selection. The value is in the selection of shops, and there's almost no dead/open spots, every shop is filled - all offering deals this time of year.

    First thing's first, I'm glad this mall is SINGLE STORY. I don't have to worry about my fear of…read moreheights and it doesn't feel stuffy because it has HIGH ceilings. However... with a single story comes a TON of walking. Be prepared for that! There's a lot of your standard mall stuff here, so it's not worth mentioning about the department stores, but the mall portion is a fine experience. There are lots of clothing stores and dessert places, and there's a movie theater and some nice restaurants, but I will say there's NOT much to do as a fun activity for families with small kids. Older kids will have some things to do like VR or build-a-bear, but smaller kids will not. Food court is fine, there's some good options and I actually like that it's next to the entrance/exit of the mall so you don't have to be "stuck" in a second story hidden area forcing you to walk by stores while getting out of the mall. Standard mall food court options like Sbarro, it's really just a place to hang out. Again, nothing special, but super clean and open space brings this to an average 3/5 for me.

I remember…read moreway back when, the spot used to house a hotel/motel where I didn't even know if it was even functioning. Now it's a cute little retail and restaurant center. You have Whole Foods on the corner and right inside the strip mall which is an open air somewhat small mall. There's parking structures on either end but when we stopped by the gate wasn't working so we ended up parking across the street. There's plenty of parking everywhere so you'll find something. It's not a big area but does offer some cute shops. You'll have some of the retail chain stores with Atletha, Warby Parker, Urban Outfitters, Brixton, Nike, Anthropologie to name a few. Some cute fun jewelry stores, stationary stores and so on. There's even a cute little brewery right in the middle of the strip. It's a cute place for family to bring the kids and pets. People are out enjoying the outdoor. As Easter is coming, there's going to be an Easter bunny on site. It's somewhat a very little outdoor mall. A few dining options surrounding the area. You could walk around the whole place in half an hour or so.

I believe there is validation…read moreavailable but we opted to find free parking since I wasn't sure how long we were staying. They have a variety of restaurants so you can pick.

    A lovely spot to enjoy thai cuisine. Friendly staff with attentive service…read more I highly recommend the golden bag, which is crab stuffed cream cheese in wonton. They made sure the crab was the star instead of the cream cheese Their green curry was well balanced with the coconut milk, with eggplant and bamboo, enhancing the texture. I had chicken as the protein, which was a good amount. My coworker annihilated the Kao Soi, so that means you gotta try!

Great portions for the price. Everything was spicy enough, matching the selected levels. Food was still hot when it arrived at my place. It was so good. Tom Kha - loved the straw mushrooms that use in it!! The chicken was tender and perfect. Yellow Curry - delightful. Never had jackfruit before so it was interesting having that in the curry, but it looks like chicken, just a gummier texture. Flavor and spice of the curry was great. Loved the bogo free deal! Pineapple Fried Rice - good but a little too spicy for my liking which is my fault for picking level 3 spice, but the container was packed to the brim, making it worth the money. I'll be adding more lime to freshen it up when I finish the leftovers. I'd recommend this place!! Lots of good reviews for a reason. excited to try more over time!
