The Halal Guys — Restaurant in Long Beach

They do not serve LAMB like the original Halal Guys in 9th avenue and 58th street in NYC. I buy food from this place because I miss the NYC food. The Long Beach Branch or Franchise is very stingy with the sauce. In NYC, they are very generous with the sauces of both white and hot sauce in big packets. Here in Long Beach, if you ask for a side of hot sauce, they are very stingy. First time, I ask for 3 packets (and they have small packets like the soy sauce in china restaurants), they gave me 2 packets. The second time I asked for 2 packets, they gave me one. I had a guest at one tine and did not know if he can handle hot foods, so I told the person serving if I can have the hot sauce on the side. I asked for 8 packets since I ordered 2 beef platters. He said sure, you will be charged 20 cents per packet. I said, sure I'll pay for it. I don't know why its free in NYC but not here. This happened yesterday Oct. 3 around 9pm. I guess this happens when you franchise and hire people that tries to impress you to promote them...

I get it now! Does halal mean bland? Because this place has no flavor! Bland doesn't even begin to describe it! The reason why I gave it two stars is because the girl that helped me the counter was really nice and very helpful, but hello guys is way overrated they won't even give you a whole pita-just little pieces of it. Way over-priced for what you get, what's more you have to pay with a credit card because they have no cash on hand-supposedly this is because of covid but everybody else manages to have cash, I guess they're the magical exception to the rule. Whatever! Trust me don't waste your time or money or your palate... If you want a really good suggestion go to Sababa in garden Grove. There you'll find what real Mediterranean food is like-let me just say AMAZING! Truly sababa is an absolute taste explosion in your mouth! A funky, fancy, fantastical party for your senses on all levels! Absolutely freaking amazing! Halal guys-yuck! Waste of $13! I know I've already eaten it (well part of it anyway) but can I get...

I remember I owe these guys a review because they did such a great job with my small catered order. I was looking for an establishment that would be able to take an order early enough and that would be able to be done preparing at noon. I had a small seminar that day to give to a local business, and remember they had asked for Halal.

The smell is undoubtedly the most noticeable thing in the area. The smell inside is even more amazing - it made me more hungry and I really wanted to start eating before I arrive at the destination.

Their prices are very reasonable, and their selection is simple, yet very filling, and theres always the right order for anyone. I had gotten 2-3 orders of every plate they had (and they have large plates). When i had brought it to my seminar, everyone loved the order, and even asked me where I ordered it from.

Parking isnt a problem - you will find plenty around, and their orders are ready on time for pick up. I ordered through the Yelp app, and they had it when...
