    10/10!!! Bixby Burger, their loaded saucy fries with fried chicken bites (sauce was so tasty) and their cook to perfection burger.

    Amazing service, owner is super friendly and nice, can definitely tell they put love and pride into their work. The loaded fries was one of the best I've had in LA and the burger was soo freaking fresh and cooked well. I definitely recommend and would definitely go again for some burgers and beer. Lol

    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

    Birria & Pastor burrito with all the fixings'; guac, lettuce, cheese, rice, beans...yum!

    Can't believe I missed this spot last year! Such a great experience with all the vendors, clean restrooms - great experience. Tried the delicious steelhead coffee and La Taqueria!

    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.

    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.

    Birria tacos

    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.

    Yaya provided amazing service the food was delicious highly recommend visiting !! Great service

    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.

    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.

    Ask the Community - SteelCraft Long Beach

    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… 

    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… 

    Is the only vegan option the Ramen?

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

    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! :)

There's also a bar and a few seating areas. We each grab something from a different counter - - I got a bulgogi bowl, my son got a sandwich, and my husband got a gyro. The food was good. Nothing spectacular but good. This is one of those places that's great to come if you have a family and everybody wants something different. Everyone is sure to find something they like here.

It's nice that parking is accessible in the front on Bellflower Blvd. and in the back parking lots. There are areas where you can sit on stools or on picnic benches. Also several corners where there's shaded trees and a swing bench. It's nice to have the eating area in the middle of the courtyard, but I really don't like the dirt area. But I get that it's probably easier for spills to be soaked up so people don't slip and it's less maintenance. If you're a fur-parent don't worry, there's even a couple bowls from which your pet can get fresh water from their drinking fountain. Or just bring your own bowl and fill it up at the water station. It's really a pet friendly place. We brought our Shih Tzu along and saw another dog sitting on the bench. Food choices are good, you can enjoy a beer and burger, tacos, Filipino/Korean fusion, Coffee, Boba, Argentinian food. There's also a big screen which they televise sports games. Price wise it's about $15-$20 per person for a complete meal.

    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.

We also ordered a side of spam brûlée musubi. The shrimp was delicious. Very flavorful and tossed evenly with the sauce. The Mac salad IMO was kind of warm. And my husband and I both loved the spam brûlée musubi. The sweet brûlée on top of the musubi had a great contrast to the salty spam. My only negative is on hot days like this, there was no where to sit and enjoy the food. We ended up enjoying our meal inside Wendy's next door. And I read on instagram that day they had to close down because of the heat. I can only imagine how hot it must have been inside the metal container they are working in.

    10/10 Our server Mel was so so sweet. My best friend…read morebrought me to this place while i was here visiting her as she really wanted me to try. She was introduced to this by one of her besties & she passed the reccomendation. I am in LOVE! She had me try the Tonkatsu Ramen (spicy sauce & garlic on the side) and crispy rice w/spicy tuna. omg you HAVE to try this! I am not a huge fan of soups or stews but ramen is always a win and this place won me over for sure. So much that I had to try this back home since we found out there is a location close to me in the bay area!

    Went to this place for dinner, 5pmsh. Heard so many good things about this place. Greeted and…read moreseated to our table. Room temperature was a bit warm, ac was not kicking in. It was 90 degrees outside, hoping that inside would be in the 70s which was not the case. Made our stay uncomfortable. Regardless, ordered 2 Ramen bowls, pork and chicken flavor. Also ordered a pork bun. Watermelon cucumber flavor water was served as complimentary. Was refreshing! 15 mins later we received our soups and pork bun. All tasted very good! No complaints toward the quality of food being served. I asked our waitress if this restaurant still had a Michellin star rating? Her response, I dont know and I think so. I asked her to check with her manager, she came back 5 minutes later and stated her Manager does not know the answer as well. I find that quite odd Hmmmm .. Overall the food quality is great. The negative things on my visit are. 1. It was warm inside the restaurant which made it uncomfortable. 2. Only one small restroom 3. Prices are a tad on the expensive side. $19 to $20 a bowl. 4. I believe management was not being honest regarding my question about being a Michellin Star rated restaurant. How are you in management and dont know the status of your own restaurant? Honesty is the best policy. Good thing, food was good and everyone was friendly. Overall, i would come back because the food is good and the place does not get crowded.

Plus a Crocs with a huge selection of charms and themed shoes inspired by movies and popular culture. The other department store is Macy's, a more upscale looking one. The Nordstrom jewelry salespeople do a great job of continuing to chat in a large group as customers shop. The handbag associate on the other hand was excellent and helpful. I also was surprised to see Aeropostale and Cotton On. I thought the former had gone out of business. My only complaint is the food court. Why is it tucked away in a corner down a separate wing? And I wish the crepe place also made savory ones.

If you're looking for something quick to eat, you can eat at the food court or grab pretzels from the several many kiosk throughout the mall. If you feel like dining in, they have restaurants like the Cheesecake Factory located on the outside. This location also has a movie theater attached to it. The value of anything sold here really depends on where you choose to shop. There are stores that can be costly and some more affordable. They have an Apple and Samsung store located inside as well. The service is great. They keep this location well maintained. My only complaint is I wish they had more directories inside to navigate the mall because the layout is a bit confusing.

    Review #1002 2026-072…read more Located near the marina, 2nd & PCH officially opened on 10/24/19 following the soft opening of its anchor tenant: Whole Foods. It's an open-air lifestyle shopping center with a mix of retail shops & restaurants, & curated community events like the Dreamers Market Pop-Up. It offers complimentary Wi-Fi, fire pits, water fountain, modern architecture, & a welcoming environment... pet-friendly, dedicated bike lanes, & lounge area. Parking (as of 08/2026): Garage parking is free for the 1st 90 mins. & $2.00/20-mins. thereafter with a daily max of $30.00. EV stations & clean air vehicle spaces are available. There's no attendant, only automated pay stations & exit gate machines only accept credit cards.

I discovered the shopping center because of a Yelp Elite Event at Lather in 2021, & have been returning infrequently. Though it's understandable & fairly common to charge for parking at malls with garages, it's a major turn-off for me to hang around past the 90-min. mark, hence my return visits have either been tied to YEEs held here, or because I'm in the area & wanted to grab a bite.

    My colleagues were visiting Long Beach for a work conference and decided to get Thai. It was 6 of…read moreus and we only had to wait a couple of minutes to get seated. The atmosphere was nice and was giving authentic vibes. From the big Buddha statue to the art on the walls. It has a bit of a more darker ambiance. I enjoyed our server. He was quick to greet us and reviewed the menu and gave recommendation. He was very friendly and kept trying to guess what industry we worked in. So the food was great. For the appetizer we got chicken pot stickers. You didn't even need any sauce on the side. We ordered: Drunken noodles with chicken Pad Thai with chicken Glass noodle salad with shrimp Chicken skewers 2 Thai green salads. One was with pork belly and the other steak. Mango sticky rice We all got level 2 for heat which wasn't too spicy which we enjoyed. My least favorite was the mango sticky rice. It wasn't bad just different than what I'm use to. It was brown rice. It had a yogurt and fruit plum in it. I actually liked it. We all left stuffed and happy. I would definitely go back.

    The biggest takeaway from our dinner at Thai District in Downtown Long Beach is something I cannot…read moreemphasize enough: the portions here are absolutely INSANE for the money. We came with the whole family, everyone left completely stuffed, and somehow we still walked back to the hotel carrying leftovers from basically every dish. We were only in Long Beach for one night staying at the Fairmont Breakers and walked over here for dinner. We know Long Beach has seriously good Thai food, so there was no way we were spending our one night in town eating something we could get anywhere. Very glad we picked Thai District. What shocked me wasn't just that the portions were huge. A lot of restaurants make a plate look enormous by burying you in rice or noodles. Not here. They were extremely generous with the actual meat, shrimp, vegetables, herbs, nuts, everything. I kept looking at the plates wondering how they were doing this. The Yum Woon Sen / glass noodle salad was ON POINT. Huge plate of noodles, vegetables, herbs, chicken, and what seemed like an endless supply of large perfectly cooked shrimp. Great balance of acidity, spice, freshness, and that slippery glass noodle texture. Then came the Nam Khao Tod Salad, definitely their own interpretation. Traditional nam khao usually has crispy fried rice balls broken apart and mixed throughout. Here it was almost the reverse: a HUGE amount of seasoned minced chicken almost reminiscent of larb gai, fresh herbs, vegetables, peanuts, and crispy puffed rice over the top. I still prefer the more traditional version with chunks of fried crispy rice, BUT this was legitimately delicious in its own way. I found myself eating half the plate while trying to convince my brain we were still calling it nam khao. The herbs and flavor were there, the peanuts gave it great crunch, and the amount of meat was ridiculous. The surprise winner for our daughter was the beef Pad See Ew. This girl had THREE PLATES. She kept asking what kind of noodles they were, why they tasted like that, what the sauce was, and about a million other questions. Eventually she announced she wanted to eat those noodles for the rest of her life. The wide rice noodles had that chewy texture you want, plenty of beef and Chinese broccoli, and they weren't drowning in sauce. Our son normally has a harder time at Thai restaurants because the spice and herbs can be a little much for him. The wonton soup finally gave us a win. The "small" was actually a substantial bowl with a LOT of really good meat-filled wontons, plenty of bok choy, green onion, and a comforting savory broth. He actually ate dinner successfully at a Thai restaurant for once. We also got the crispy tofu, which came out as big cubes with a peanut dipping sauce. Again, generous portion. They apparently do not understand the concept of putting six tiny pieces of something on a plate and charging $15 for it, and I appreciate them for that. Dessert was their Mango & Sticky Rice, and even this had their own twist. Purple coconut sweet sticky rice that reminded us of Korean purple rice, huge chunks of ripe mango, mango sorbet in the middle, and chewy sala palm seeds with an almost gummy, jelly-like texture. Then the whole thing gets drenched in sweet coconut cream. My wife and kids demolished it. And after ALL OF THAT, plus a Singha beer, jasmine rice, sticky rice, etc., our subtotal was basically $100+ for four people. Look at these portions. $100. In Downtown Long Beach. In 2026. I don't understand it either. Service deserves some love too. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating even though we showed up with two kids and immediately became that family. We initially sat at a normal four-person table, but apparently my children are traitors and will only sit next to their mother, so we asked to move somewhere with a bench where a 3-to-1 seating arrangement made more sense. No problem at all. Then I was sweating because I'm fat and apparently walking several blocks before eating Thai food was my personal Everest, so they even turned up the AC and moved us into the other section. Sorry guys, and thank you. The atmosphere deserves a mention too. The restaurant had this cozy, dimly lit, almost romantic feel without being overly fancy. It was peaceful and zen inside, especially for Downtown Long Beach. Soft lighting, comfortable seating, and a quieter vibe made it easy to relax and enjoy dinner. Seriously though, we had a great experience. Huge portions, tons of meat and seafood, excellent Pad See Ew, great Yum Woon Sen, a creative Nam Khao Tod, kid-friendly options, wonderful service, and some of the best value we've seen at a sit-down restaurant in a long time. We walked over from the Fairmont Breakers for our one night in Long Beach specifically wanting good Thai food. Mission accomplished. And now apparently my daughter is going to be asking me for Pad See Ew for the rest of her life.
