I'm a regular at Simply Salad as this is my go-to spot when I want a good affordable salad or wrap…read more I've tried the Chicken Caesar Salad, Cobb Wrap, and Caesar Wrap, and I've really enjoyed all three. I love that I can customize everything exactly how I like it. For the Cobb Wrap, I remove the tomatoes, add extra egg, and ask for easy lettuce and it comes out perfect for me every time. The extra egg makes it even more filling without feeling too heavy. The Caesar Wrap is another favorite, especially when I want something quick and easy to eat on the go. And you can't go wrong with the Chicken Caesar Salad! It's simple, fresh, and satisfying.

I come to simply salad when my wife and I want to cut down on red meat and they have some pretty…read moretasty salads. I like a good southwestern salad and Simply salad has two options for me: their El Paso and their 'Cue. Chicken, romaine lettuce, crispy elements, beans, cheese. What's not to like? When I get their salads, I generally don't enjoy their supplied pitas; therefore, I prefer getting their salads as wraps. Unfortunately, the last time I ordered my wrap with "medium" portion of dressing, I had to supplement my wrap with my own sauces. As a wrap, I'd recommend getting your dressing on the side, or "heavy" dressing if you're eating it right away. Lastly, when you order in person, it can take a bit of time; therefore, I try to order ahead through their website or through doordash (as a pickup order).

My favorite thing to get here is the pita chips. Ask for the fresh ones and not the prepackaged one. Highly recommend getting it

But the "Catch Feelings" Chicken Wrap at Kareem's? It genuinely needs a emotional warning label. I ordered it thinking I was just grabbing a quick bite on the go. Big mistake. Huge. Now I'm driving down Brookhurst having a full-blown existential crisis because a wrap has better structural integrity and emotional depth than most people I've dated. First off, whoever is back there assembling these wraps isn't just making food; they are practicing architectural geometry. Most spots toss your veggies in like they're launching confetti at a parade, leaving you with one bite of pure lettuce and another of pure existential dread. Not Kareem's. Every single bite is a masterclass in balance: vibrant, bright, colorful veggies that actually crunch, perfectly seasoned and juicy protein, and a sauce so ridiculously good I'm convinced it's strictly classified under international law. It's colorful, it's mouth-watering, and yes, I absolutely caught feelings. I am now in a committed relationship with a pita-wrapped masterpiece. And can we talk about the hummus? Smooth as a smooth-talking salesperson, richer than a crypto influencer, and paired with proteins that are cooked with actual respect. If you are anywhere near 1208 S Brookhurst St, do yourself a favor and stop by. Just be prepared: you will leave addicted, you will crave it at 2 AM on a Tuesday, and you will never look at a standard wrap the same way again. 10/10, no notes, sending Kareem's my therapist bills.

I highly recommend stopping by when you see one or plan to stop by one!

I was excited to have Cava for lunch because I haven't had it in a while. And it was my husband's…read morefirst time trying it. We got a falafel crunch bowl to share. Because it's a pre-set bowl, it already has a set base, protein, toppings, and dressing. As I was watching them make it, I noticed they only out 2 falafels in the bow the size of these falafels we so small, and for such a big bowl?! The guy serving me down the line was either ignoring me or couldn't hear me because I kept calling him, trying to get his attention! One we got towards the end of the line was was he decided to look up and I asked him if I could have 1 more falafel. He put it in then closed my bowl. I also noticed they put such little dressing. I asked the cashier if he or the other guy (last) in the line if I could have more dressing in a small container or on the side. They just opened my bowl and squeezed a ton of dressing in my bowl. Luckily it wasn't one of those wet dressings, otherwise by the time I would have gotten to my food at home, it would have been soggy! My husband ordered a side of steak. When looked at my receipt, they charged me $8+ for the small side of steak they gave to me! My husband said in the menu it said $3!!! I feel like the service was definitely lagging here. NOTE: NEEDS TO IMPROVE ON SERVICE! The ambiance is cool. Nice place to eat and enjoy your food. But with how long the wait is, I wouldn't sit near the end as there's so many people so close to you as you eat, just my opinion. Btw I read a review from 5 months ago saying the soda fountain is broken... it's still broken!

To be honest, the noodles were pretty salty for me, but my dad really enjoyed it. It was very flavorful and had lots of scallion oil flavor! The sausage was just a grilled Taiwanese sausage, my favorite. I wish they would give some garlic with it. And their iced sweet soy milk is my favorite.

The Signature Mixed Noodle has a scallion and soy sauce taste, and it comes with plenty of thick and chewy round noodles. The Spicy Noodle Salad comes with a similar type of thick/round chewy noodles as the signature mixed noodle, but instead of soy sauce flavoring, it comes with a spicy (just slightly) chili and sesame oil sauce. This noodle also includes corn kernels and slices of iceberg lettuce as toppings. Again, plenty of noodles included in each serving as well. This is a very refreshing noodle to be eaten on a hot summer day! Great value considering the portion and taste. Parking wise, there are plenty of spaces as It is located within the Super Hmart plaza. Check it out when in the area. Also want to highlight the great service received as I came by the restaurant about 5-10min before closing. The staff was already in the process of closing, but when she saw me walked in, she was readily available to take my order and I was able to get my order after the closing hour. Definitely worth coming back to try their other dishes/wraps! Come and support our local small businesses.

Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. We ordered crispy potatoes, falafel and icli kofte. The service was also great from beginning to end.

The food was full of flavor, the portions were nice, and overall the whole experience felt warm and inviting. Definitely a great Long Beach find, especially if you're looking for good Turkish food and a place where you can order a bunch of things for the table and just enjoy. I'll definitely be back -- there are already a few things on the menu I want to come back and try!

Hands down one of the best Mediterranean meals I've had in Long Beach…read more Everything we ordered was incredible. The lamb chops were the star of the meal--perfectly seasoned, savory, juicy, and beautifully grilled with that fresh, smoky barbecue flavor. The hummus was a 10/10: silky smooth, topped with whole chickpeas, and full of rich, authentic flavor. The rice deserves its own mention. It was light, fluffy, buttery, and perfectly cooked--not sticky at all. Paired with the fresh salad, it balanced the meal perfectly. For drinks, the sorbet drink was so refreshing, and the pomegranate tea was outstanding with bright, fruity notes that made it the perfect way to end the meal. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful. Sitting outside on the sidewalk felt cozy and romantic, and the decor inside genuinely made me feel like I was back in Turkey. The restaurant is spotless (including the restrooms), and the customer service was warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. If you're looking for authentic Turkish and Mediterranean food in Long Beach, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back for those lamb chops!
