Love this outdoor fun zone/ eatery. The hot summer day almost kept me away but I found some shady spots to sit down and dine. We ordered and got our pager to call us when it was ready. There are areas where kids can play, claw machines and lil kid tables which are adorable. read more

One of the best innovative additions to the city of Garden Grove. Known as a little food hall, Steelcraft has lots of things you'd want to: beer, fried food, things that taste like your mom's cooking... The parking is odd to get to unless you're from the area. It's in a little plaza connected with other industrial buildings. That doesn't mean that there isn't enough parking! It's definitely plentiful. There always events and markets here. You have seating in the lower area near the food or near the little boutique. You can also eat upstairs where there's a beautiful view of the sunrise. Restrooms here are always clean! Tight squeeze, but clean. Always a good time here! read more

Great variety (just wish there was better variety lol) It's a fun spot to hang out though. read more

Great outdoor beer hall with food stations, games and music! DJ was spinning tunes and directing line dancing. Lots of different food options. It's a great open air setting, but there's plenty of shade to stay out of the sun. There's also on area for private parties. I wish this great place was closer to my house cuz I would be there all the time. Go try it out!! read more

Really love the idea of open space, brewery and food vendors. This place has a very relaxed vibe. Family friendly. I was only able to try to the coffee stall so I'm here for the ambiance. Since it is Halloween time it seems they had additional vendors. One was a VHS seller read more

One of three outdoor food halls under the SteelCraft name in Southern California, this location in Garden Grove opened in 2019, providing an easy place for friends/families to hang out and partaking of different food and drink. My wife and I have been to the closer Long Beach location multiple times, but the GG location had a particular restaurant we wanted to try out, so we drove the 45 minutes to get here. The 'gimmick' here is that the structures are built from cargo containers, which is a nice nod to the port of Long Beach. The large open space in the middle is a mixture of dirt, brick, and synthetic grass and much of it is shaded. The dining area are mostly communal picnic tables, each with QR codes so you can order directly from each restaurant. It is self pick up, and self bussing, which I like. It also has a large video monitor in the middle, guessing it is mostly tuned to sports. Like most all food halls, there is a dedicated stand for beer, and at this place, the vendor is Beachwood Brewing. They had twenty of their beverages on tap: my wife and I shared a 16 oz of their simply named Beachwood Hef ($7.75). It went well with the Filipino Korean food we shared. The food hall has a dedicated surface parking lot surrounding the area, with a lot of additional spots in the large City Hall lot as well. There were plenty of spots in the dedicated lot when we came with most of the city halls spots filled. Assuming that this switches once the business day is done. It's a good set-up. We came early so there wasn't much food traffic, and some of the 'open' restaurants didn't have anybody in front servicing customers. But as a whole, it's an evolving concept that still is being given attention to mature by the owners. I can imagine how popular this area would be, with the good food and drink at fair prices. read more

This place is made up of many small places and that's what makes it so unique. There are foods from a variety of places all coming being made in large shipping containers. The chicken is good, as well as the burgers, but everything looks really tasty! Outdoor eating and a playground for the kids makes this a smart choice . read more

Another food hall to cross off my list! If you know me I love food halls because of the variety of food and the space to enjoy your time with friends and/or family. Steelcraft is located in Garden Grove off Euclid Ave. There is a huge parkinglot to park with plenty of spaces. On busy days, you can easily find a spot so no stress there. The location has many food to choose from: friend chicken, Filipino infused food, ramen, burgers, and some Italian food. They have many dessert locations to enjoy and even a brewery and tea bar. There is plenty of seating throughout. There is a table tennis table to enjoy with your company and also a corn hole area which is a must try. Plenty of room to enjoy a birthday party or happy hour with friends. Since this place is close by, I will definitely be back to try something new. read more

Steel Craft is a fun shipping container hawker food hall in the heart of of Garden Grove. I went on a Friday night and the place was hopping. There was line dancing and ever vendor was very busy. Our friends tried the craft beer and the chicken wings, which is a good deal. I would like to try the coffee and BBQ spot when I come back. Come early for parking or it can get difficult. Please come and create your own adventure. Communal seating area. Good service and overall fun. read more

Assortment of restaurants so if the group can't decide on a place, we go where we can each get what we want. Thursday about 2pm. Not many people. Trying beef bulgogi from Bario BBQ and a milk shake from Swagyu. Food was good. The caramel milk shake was great. They have a corn hole game and a giant connect 4. So fun activities, to kill some time. read more

I didn't realize they had a location out here! Lucky us. A friend of ours introduced us to this location when she hosted a bday get together here. It's such an awesome place to have people meet up for an event. We all wandered the pavilion to see what the options were and then selected some quick bites. I enjoyed the Spicy Rice Ball (vegan) and the vegan meat tacos (birria and pastor, soyrizo was also an option). The green sauce they served it with was spicy and really finished the flavor profile. Yum! Hubby is not a vegetarian and also really enjoyed the food at these two places. They had coffee drinks, and a nice beer selection all right there, too. We spotted an Italian place, chicken place, burger place, boba tea, and a live band was setting up right there as we left. It had an upstairs walkway, clean bathrooms, a "play area" for the littles. Just a nice little spot to spend an afternoon with something for everyone. Check it out! read more

SteelCraft is a fun place to spend time with family and friends offering plenty of great dining options with something to please everyone. An array of shipping containers surround an open-air dining space with long shared tables and a small stage for live performances. Its both family and pet friendly so bring the kids and bring the dogs :) Each shipping container is re-imagined as a separate restaurant kitchen each offering a different style of food or drink. Restaurants: Mornings Coffee - Coffee & Pastries La Taqueria Brand - Mexican Street Food Tea Otter - Boba Tea Barrio - Filipino-Korean Fusion Al Dente - Italian Food Beachwood Brewing - Craft Beers Swagyu Burger - Wagyu Burgers Bird Talk - Fried & Grilled Chicken OniGuru - Japanese Rice Ball & Bowls This is the largest SteelCraft location so they also have a couple of non food business and a balcony seating area above Beachwood Brewing. Non Food: Xtyle It Fashion - Trendy Women's Clothing Studio X by Ironfire Workspaces - Meeting Space Of all the great places to eat my favorite combo is Barrio bulgogi plate with a craft beer form Beachwood Brewing :) But if your looking for a caffeine fix you cant miss with Mornings Coffee which opens at 7am. Most of the other places open at 11am. The best thing about SteelCraft is the variety because there is something for everyone in your group. The onsite staff keeps everything neat & tidy and the restrooms are clean & well stocked. There is even a large private parking lot so you never need to worry abut finding a spot. read more

SteelCraft is a wonderful outdoor venue to spend time with family and friends. Various genres of food are served here. While waiting for your food, you can check out ping pong equipment to play on the ping pong table located near the bar, or you can play connect 4 or cornhole. A lively, safe ambience to spend outdoors. Glad they built a lot of sun shelter too which can also protect you from rain while still enjoying the outdoors. read more

This food hall is a fun, chill spot with lots of tables, great parking, and even an arcade--perfect for groups. It's very clean and has a good vibe overall. I'm giving it 3 stars mainly because there aren't a ton of vegan options. That said, some places like the taco spot, the pasta place, and the oniguri place each had at least one vegan option, so there's still a little something for plant-based eaters. Would love if they added a fully vegan spot! Overall, it's a great hangout spot if you're looking for variety, chill service, and a relaxed atmosphere. read more

fun spot to hangout. plenty of parking near the place. we started day drinking after having dimsum which turned into drinking for 8 hours lol their beers were pretty good and the day we went it was some type of vendor night/dance get together. by 5 PM we had to clear the downstairs tables so we ended up going to the second floor to drink more. The pizza was pretty good and the fries were amazing. We kept ordering the fries over and over. It got pretty crowded and people were dancing on stage. Fun spot to hangout with family and friends. read more

SteelCraft in Garden Grove delivered a vibrant atmosphere for this 1st timer and trivia night really brought the place to life with plenty of activity for every type of visitor. Personally though, I was disappointed with the Japanese restaurant OniGuru; as someone who enjoys well-seasoned food, the rice balls and onigiri were way too salty for my taste. The staff seemed unsure about allergy information and couldn't clearly explain the ingredients in their menu items, which was definitely a concern and a learning lesson for everyone that evening. Still, the night was a win for my group: my friend ordered the pork plate at Barrio, the Filipino spot, and he cleaned his plate--it was that good. At La Taqueria, the tacos were delicious, and the micheaguas were nothing short of phenomenal. They dressed it up with a Tamarindo stick, chamoy, and chili rim--truly a chef's kiss. I would come back. Just would try another restaurant and maybe get into the trivia fun on the next round. read more

Visited here tonight with the family and it's improved a lot since I last was here. Saturday night and found parking relatively easy when we got here at 5. Ordered from the Korean-flip place called barrio by the wagyu burger spot 2 entrees to share among 3 of us (bf, his young daughter and me). Perfect amount for us. We had salad, rice, bulgogi, salmon, pork skewer and all was solid with the right amount of seasoning. We got drinks from the otter boba spot, and enjoyed that. No complaints - great selection. For dessert I wanted churros so I got that from the burria tacos place by the entrance, while bf got cookies and cream shake along with brownie from the waygo burger place for his daughter. The bolsa de churros did not disappoint. Made to order it came out hot and delicious there was no beef for anything extra, they were perfect. We all enjoyed our desserts, but poor daughter's brownie looked like a burnt little brick of sadness. She took 2 bites and threw that $5 brownie in the trash before anyone could say anything. If I ran that place I'd rather tell people we out of brownies than sell something that horrible. I haven't had the burgers there but if it's anything like the brownie, I'd pass. Other than that downer, the live music was cool, and the crowd was chill. I'd come back. read more

SteelCraft - Bolsa de churros was hella yum - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

The good: This is kid friendly! I've been to the Steel Craft in Long Beach too and liked this one better because it was much bigger and had a lot of kid friendly areas. There was an area with small kids picnic tables, corn hole, giant tic tac toe, and half ball things in the ground for kids to climb. There was plenty of parking. I tried 3 food spots there. The middle section has communal picnic tables that are covered with shade with dirt flooring for a casual feel. Other areas have faux grass. Most of the food places give you buzzers so you can come back for the food. I like the modern look of the shipping containers and the various food options. They have a coffee spot, boba shop, onigiri stand, Korean/Filipino food stand, chicken spot, taco store and burger joint. The bad: I imagine that the dirt area gets messy on rainy days if your shoes are wet and you're mixing it with the dirt. The interesting: I came during graduation day so there were lots of groups there for their graduation celebration. It's a good spot to go to for groups when you cannot decide on what to eat. read more

We didn't eat but every food option that walked past our table looked and smelled amazing! The staff are incredibly nice and accommodating. The collective of culture of entertainment/engagement created a great ambiance. Also, free live music? Amazing, definitely will be back! read more

Over the past decade, container markets have become a trend in Seoul, especially with spots like Common Ground (opened in 2015) and Seoullo 7017 near Seoul Forest (opened in 2017). These markets bring a fresh, urban vibe by blending the traditional American market concept with a contemporary twist, breathing new life into the city and boosting tourism in the process. In Southern California, we have our own version--SteelCraft, a marketplace brand that uses shipping containers as its main architectural element, blending food, art performances, leisure activities, and community social experiences. SteelCraft first opened in 2017 in Long Beach as its flagship location, creating a vibrant space for dining, arts, and local gatherings. It later expanded with a Bellflower location in 2019 and the Garden Grove location in 2021. I visited the Garden Grove SteelCraft on a quiet weekday afternoon (10/2024). There weren't many people around, just a few students hanging out after school. The location makes sense since it's close to Historic Main Street, the Community Center Park (which is currently under renovation), Coastline Community College, and Garden Grove High School, all of which help keep the area somewhat lively within the local community. There's plenty of seating inside, and the container shops offer a mix of Korean, Japanese, and Mexican food options, along with a few drink spots, a beer garden, a handmade candle shop, and a clothing store. I had originally planned to grab a coffee at the popular Dark Horse Coffee Roasters, but after checking, I realized it had permanently closed. The space can also be rented for events, and there's a small stage for performances. I imagine it's livelier on weekends or in the evenings. However, during my visit, it felt a bit too empty compared to the bustling container markets in Seoul. After walking around the place, I decided to head over to Garden Grove Historic Main Street for another city walk.

We stopped by on a Saturday to check it out and this place was lively! They had folks dancing, eating and have a grand time. They had different food stalls so you have a variety of cuisine to try out. It is an outdoor dining so I can see how this place can be a good hang out spot during spring and summer. We came on a Saturday and it got super chilly and windy. Overall nice spot to check out. read more

I visited SteelCraft on a Friday night and although it was busy, there was still a lot of parking available and the lines for all of the vendors were relatively short. There is also plenty of cafeteria-style seating available downstairs and a small upstairs area. We happened to go when they had a live band which provided nice ambience, although it can be a bit loud if you sit close. There is a wide variety of food options and I decided to get Barrio, which offers Korean/Filipino fusion bbq. I tried the skewer plate with pork and chicken. The skewers were well marinated and and the plate was filling, but a bit expensive for what it is. read more

It's really nice space. Lots of diff food options to choose from. You can have an entire meal here with food, beer, dessert, boba, and have a date here making candles or playing a few arcades/shopping. Space is great for families. Although some parents let their kids run amuck and you may be caught in between kids throwing things at each other or trying to play hide and seek in the arcade section with no adult watching at the moment. read more

I've been several times throughout the years and I'm sad the turnover rate in business is always changing but I'm happy they seem to still stick around. It's a great spot to grab a quick breakfast or meet a friend for a beer and grub. Or bring the fam and everyone can pick there own food spot and a little arcade fire the kiddos. I love that they have life music on the weekends. I saw they even have a private room for gatherings. I think they have trivia but I haven't attend that yet but I definitely would. read more

What a great outdoor hang-out spot with amazing food and drinks. Plenty of seating is available, many food options, and easy parking. The layout of Steel Craft makes it an ideal place to grab some drinks, and delicious food and listen to live music. First, we grabbed our drinks at Beachwood Brewing. Excellent drinks. Then, we walked over to La Taqueria Brand and ordered Asada street tacos, a birria beef dip sandwich, and an esquite. OMG, the food is amazing! The tacos are so good and the birria sandwich is to die for. I can only imagine how great all their food options are. We received our food, quickly. I can only comment on Beachwood Brewing and La Taqueria Brand-both amazing food/drinks and service. You will also find other food options, such as pasta, korean bbq, burgers etc. You will also find a small clothing boutique, passing the boba stand. :) read more

Cool open-air food hall to eat and chill. I was looking for a place to have lunch that was dog-friendly. Luckily this spot popped during my search and decided to check it out. The venue is constructed from repurposed shipping containers, creating a chill and unique atmosphere with picnic-style seating. After walking around I decided with Barrio: a fusion of Korean and Filipino cuisine, serving unique dishes. I ordered the Liempo meal - citrus soy thick-cut pork belly, rice, Filipino Atchara. Wow, enough food to fill me up and boy was it delicious. Don't forget to check in with Yelp and you'll receive a lemonade slushie! While I waited for my order, I stopped by Beachwood brewery and ordered myself an IPA to enjoy. SteelCraft also hosts community events and live music throughout the week. Next time, I would love to come here when there is live entertainment. read more

The vibes here are great for a day or night out with a group of friends. The food on the other hand are okay nothing too special. I ordered from Bird Talk which was a Nashville Sandwich with Waffle fries but the fries were super salty. I only ate 3 to 4 pieces before throwing them away. The sandwich was also okay but lacked in flavor, I had to put a decent amount of ketchup on it. With the fries being salty, I went back to ask the staff for a cup of water which he then told me I would have to purchase a water bottle. read more

Attended a couple of fun BTS events. They had many vendors. Large selection of food. Loved the DJ. Parking is ok.

You want a beer You want a burger You want tacos You want nachos Want to hear a live band Want to dance Omg, what doesn't this place have. Went here for the first time to meet some friends as we wanted to grab a drink and a bite to eat before the concert across the street. Love it. It's a covered outdoor large place with containers which are mini restaurants/ pop ups of different types of fast food you can order and sit/eat. We got to enjoy a live band for a bit. Lots of communal seatings. Such a fun and relaxing place. There were kids running around and dancing while the parents catch up over a bite and a sip of beer. Ample parking all around the facility. Bathrooms are clean. read more

Pretty limited on food options, but a really cute outdoor option if you and your group want to be able to eat different things! I tried the Boba place which was just OK, but the service was very friendly, and the burger place, which was a 20 out of 10. Seriously I'm still thinking about it even though I had it two days ago It's dog friendly, which I love, but the bad thing is that it seems like most of the owners cannot control their dogs, which was super annoying cause my dog was just chilling at my feet and getting riled up every time my dog would try to lunge at him from their leash Again, it's not steel craft's fault, but I just thought it was worth mentioning in case anyone is thinking about taking their dog here Overall, the ambience is really mellow and relaxing and definitely a good casual spot to hang out at! They also have I believe two ping-pong tables and an area behind all of the food stands with extra seating read more

Atmosphere: Great! Kind of a food hall except mostly outside and fenced in by repurposed shipping containers. It's got a great vibe that's airey and modern but with lots of shade, seating, and public games. There's a little section where you can sit upstairs and enjoy somewhat of a view Food options: Limited... There aren't too many options and the available ones get kinda pricey and they're nothing special. I wouldn't really come here to eat but getting like a shareable to snack on with friends is a great idea Beer: Good enough There's a brewery here that has some fun options and I'd say it's a nice cherry on top to the vibes. They have a diverse enough selection to satisfy everyone's tastes so definitely grab some brewskies and chill out if you're here read more

I went to Steelcraft on a Sunday afternoon after being recommended by multiple friends to pay a visit. With the thousands of positive reviews, I was hopeful of the experience despite the extremely crowded parking lot. Ordered from Oniguru, a japanese onigiri store, and La Taqueria Brand, a street taco vendor. I got a Vegan Rice Ball from Oniguru. The Vegan Rice Ball had a combination of mixed vegetables and vegan sauce. The mixed vegetables were off-putting; definitely not what I would expect from a vendor that proclaims its "dedication and craftsmanship of their talented chefs" to produce outstanding and authentic japanese flavors. Instead, the rice ball fell apart after one bite. The filling was spilling out of the onigiri when I received it. From La Taqueria, I had a Vampiro Grilled Taco with chicken, however, there were more meat options available. The chicken tasted overly-charred and bitter, but perhaps other meat options would have come out differently. The cheese was not melted in the slightest. I could completely separate the filling, cheese, and taco shell from each other. The shell itself was inedible. I have never had a hard-shell taco that was chewy; the shell tasted extremely stale. Thrown away after the first two bites, I don't think there was anything I could have done to salvage it. I was dissappointed in the quality of the food. The dirty tables were off-putting, and the ambience was no different from that of a standard night market. Maybe the quality of the food reflected the near end-of-shift effort of their respective kitchen staff. Had I come at a different time, then maybe the food would have tasted and appeared significantly better. I wouldn't spend more than 15 minutes commuting to this place; there are better places to spend time and gas than here. Will not be visiting again. read more

Steelcraft appears to be a nice food area until you actually taste the food. Upon first impressions, I thought this was like a singular restaurant but was surprised with many mini stalls and a nice seating area. Also, parking seems to be plentiful. Just note that if you come around Strawberry Festival like me, the parking lot will be CROWDED with cars. I'm not saying everything there is bad; however, we did try out almost everything, such as the chicken stall, Japanese stall, burger stall, and taco stall. They were all worse than mediocre, not something I would expect from food I paid a good amount for. (I am NOT in any way a picky eater; in fact, I have low standards and will eat almost everything gladly.) This food was something that I could make at home and make even better. Rice balls were messy, ok taste, but it was incredibly sweet? Like the Salmon teriyaki sauce was so sweet, I have had teriyaki sauce before and know that it should be sweet, but not to this extent. Also, note that it was super messy. The seaweed is firm enough not to instantly crack as soon as you bite, so it just makes the rice crumble. I checked out the burger stall and had a bite. It tasted like In-N-Out but worse (not well seasoned, also noticed this lack of seasoning for the other stalls, excluding the onigiri stall, they had too much) and for a bigger price point. MAIN focus here is that chicken stall. I don't know how they made the food so incredibly horrid. The mac and cheese with Nashville chicken was not even mac and cheese. They used those twirly noodles? And I didn't even taste cheese. Instead, I tasted nothing? It was covered in sauce, and that sauce was like... imagine if you put water, ranch, and a bit of pepper and ketchup into a blender and plopped that over a small tray of twirly noodles. I paid a good 14 bucks for that, and the portion was mid. Despite all this seasoning, again, IT LACKED FLAVOR! How are you gonna sauce everything up to the max and have it still taste so BLAND? AND THERE'S MORE. That Nashville chicken? NASTY. It tasted like.. nothing again. NO SALT, JUST STRAIGHT UP NASTY. It tastes like if you blended up a ton of chicken that you forgot in the freezer, smashed it into a ball, put bread crumbs on it, and deep-fried it. Keep in mind if you get the fries, those are also nasty. Just straight up oily and well the crunch is good ill give it that but again NO SALT. 14 bucks for this? Genuinely pmo. Also, to add on, THAT MAC AND CHEESE THING TOOK 20 MINUTES TO FINISH. BSFR. My friend got a taco. SHE SAID IT TASTED BURNT. what in the carcinogen taco are they making here? The music was too loud, had to scream to talk. Makes everything awkward. I've had like 20-dollar all-you-can-eat buffets that taste better than whatever this place offers. Take this as your warning sign to skip this destination, and if this review did not convince you to skip, just don't make the same mistake as me and order that 14 DOLLAR NASTY mac and cheese from the chicken stand. read more

It's a food court with various food vendor stalls, incl. craft beer (I like the Pablo porter), plenty of picnic table style tables, plenty of free parking, and some great free live band music during weekend evenings (check their calendar for the lineup) https://steelcraftlb.com/calendar/ Note that the calendar is integrated and covers all Steelcraft locations (so make sure to read the fine print below the band name and that they are playing steelcraft Garden Grove) read more
