I Luv Ur Buns, I super miss you!…read more Really glad we got to stop in one last time before the swan song. Your Satay with Me will stay with me forever. Though very much a forever fan of the Orange U Yummy and your Triple Buns Mix 7 match deal. Hot Honey Bun (V) style was a so so good. Global Flavors on Bao Buns for all the yum and then some not to mention those vegetable spring rolls, fries and load fries as well as bowls. Service on the last weekend was a perfect 10/10. The vibes and decor at SteelCraft where ILUB called home is still nothing but great, live music/djs, tvs with sports or local events and an open air covered food and hangout hub. Easy parking in on of their 2 lots, see signs. This sign will absolutely be missed.

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.

From the…read moreminute you get out of your car, you get hit with the charred chicken-y smells from the parking lot. They've cleaned up the interior and the patio over the years, so it's become less dive-y but will likely never be able to shake the old Taco Bell building vibes. That's okay though, they don't have to -- you're coming for the food. Our order has been, and always will be, a chicken teriyaki burrito with everything, add avocado, as a combo, with a side of their jalapeno torreados. It isn't gourmet -- plain steamed rice, a generous pile of freshly chargrilled chicken, American cheese, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, green onion, and teriyaki sauce. Adding the avocado costs a couple bucks but totally transforms the burrito into a calorie-dense behemoth that'll keep you going all day. The fries are always perfect and salty, and the jalapenos are doused in lemon-y pepper seasoning. Drizzle some Sriracha and teriyaki sauce in-between bites and you're golden (because Golden Bowl. Get it?)

She acts like you are unconvincing her. I ordered veggies with my teriyaki bowl, she said it would cost me exta and I said "ok" I paid the extra and they were not added in my bowl.

Looked at the menu and ordered a 1/2 lb roast beef Sandwhich, roast beef with Cheese Sandwhich, Chicken Sandwhich, coke, fries and a finger peach pie. Waited 7 mins max. Unwrapped everything and chowed down. The roast beef sandwhich was very good! The chicken sandwhich was delicious, love the Swiss cheese that was in the sandwhich. Pie cobbler was off the hook. I was full after I ate the 1/2 lb sandwhich. They really pack in the roast beef! You definitely get your money's worth! I was very pleased with the order we placed. No regrets. They have unlimited drinks and unlimited sauces as well. Horse Radish, Arby Q sauce, honey mustard and ketchup. I combined everything to get the flavor I want on my sandwhich. The decor was ok. The music was playing a little too loud which made the ambiance feel hectic. Felt like everything was going to fast with the tunes playing. Like a fast Jazz Tempo. The food is the only thing I came for which hit the spot! The menu was appealing too. I looked at all sandwiches and it made me want to order everything. I would definitely come back. They have a bell that you ring if you are satisfied with the food you received. I rang it 3 to 4 times! Plenty of parking. Nice and courteous workers. Kudos to them. Good fast food joint to grab!

The good old days when I used to pop in with friends after a night out. Our go to, the avocado bacon cheeseburger and an order of fried mushrooms. That's a killer but so worth it. I'm not a fast food type but being out all day and feeling all gross. It was easier just to pop in for a quick take out. You could also order online which is great. The place isn't that big but a good decent size. A decent amount of parking in the lot. But everyone's here for the same thing, the food. It's adorable compared to other takeout places. Not only burgers and sandwiches, they also offer Mexican food. Daily specials, plate meals, combos and specials. The staff are alway very friendly which is a major plus anywhere you go to these days. I tend to alway walk in to order as I like to see what's on the menus. It's normally every year or few years when I stop by. That's normally when I'm in the area and craving a burger. Of course the order alway is the avocado bacon cheeseburger with a large order of the fried mushrooms. Plus going all the way with an order of the large fried zucchini and chicken quesadillas which they added both the red and green chili sauce. You gotta have the ranch dressing to go with the mushroom and zucchini. Food is quite nice. Burgers are pretty big and for the price, 10.95 it was worth it. I've alway had a nice experience and the food has alway been great. It's fast food take out but quite tasty. I got my fix in for the next year or so, lol.... It's worth it.
