    Menu 2/2 (as of April 2026)
    Diana L.

    I just finished eating lunch at Halal Guys for the first time earlier today, 4/30. We stopped by at around 1:15 PM for lunch. Surprisingly I've heard so much about Halal Guys, but have never tried the food. I ordered the Regular Platter with Beef Gyro $15.95 price as of April 2026 (not including tax). This platter is served with protein of your choice, rice, lettuce, and tomatoes along with your choice of toppings and their famous white and hot sauce. Note, there is also an additional charge of $1 for hummus. The toppings I got were jalapenos, and I ended up just getting the white sauce. It also comes with a few slices of pita, which were a little dry. I asked for additional white sauce on the side, but unfortunately, I was charged an additional $0.60 (so just be mindful that sauce on the side is not free lol). The meal was decent, pretty tasty, not too salty, but not my favorite. I should have asked for even more white sauce on my actual platter, since the sauce and side sauce were actually not enough for me haha. Parking: Located in a busy lot. We were able to get a parking spot close to the shop. Tip: You can also place your order online if you're in a rush! https://order.thehalalguys.com/menu/halal-guys-long-beach All in all, I'd be willing to come back, but it's not my first choice.

    Beef and Chicken Platter

    Always love the chicken and beef platters here flavorful, filling, and never disappoint. Gave it 4 stars only because the hot sauce isn't as bold as before and I miss the unlimited garlic sauce, but it's still a solid favorite.

    Halal guys, this will be the closest Halal guys to Orange County. Also I frequented this place a lot when I was a student at CSULB, even taking the city bus to arrive here. I also came here when I was an EMT in this city with my partner in the ambulance. What times. This concept of Halal guys were so interesting to study from watching youtube of the carts in New York, I had to try it. I was pleasantly surprised by efficiency of establishment as the ordering is like Chipotle, except it's very streamlined. The service is efficient when they ask you things. The ambiance of this store is tiny. I always go for the mixed proteins of Gyro and Chicken with onions. Mixing it together with the white sauce and a touch of red sauce and BBQ, it becomes umami in my palate. The orange rice, which initially looked off putting, became succulent when mixed with the tomatoes, onions, and salad with the meats. The portion size is huge -- enough to eat for 2 servings. Watch out for the red sauce though... it is extremely spicy. Just get a dash of this. However, recently, they switched their covers from clear to the thin aluminum covers, which I didn't like. Also, with taxes, it is about 17-18 dollars! It is expensive, hence I only come here maybe twice a year? Anyways, I recommend this place for the food and flavor. It's just pricey in my opinion, hence, 4 stars.

    After shopping this afternoon, I ordered a chicken platter (no tomatoes, no onions) and felt excited to my meal. While it looked good, the chicken and rice were disappointingly bland. Bland rice is not terrible, but the protein should have been flavorful. Even with the hot sauce, the chicken didn't cut it. Service was great - each cashier was genuinely warm and helpful. A few customers were seated and enjoying their food, I just wasn't one them.

    Lamb & Beef Gyro Sandwich

    Another Long Beach letdown. My food showed up ice cold, wrapped in tinfoil, and the meat was chopped so poorly it honestly looked like dog food. I had high hopes for this place, but this was beyond disappointing. Usually when you think of a gyro, you think of that big spinning rotisserie where they slice the meat fresh right off. That's how I've had it for years. I've never had someone chop it up like they're feeding a five-year-old. Big mama is hungry, not looking for baby food. And the pita bread? Definitely giving grocery store. Nothing about it felt authentic or fresh, and it literally broke in half the moment I took a bite. I called and spoke with the manager, JJ, and instead of trying to make it right, he told me I had to go through DoorDash for a refund. That completely missed the point. I wasn't looking for money, I was looking for a fresh sandwich. A real response would've been: "Hey, come back tomorrow, we'll make you a brand new sandwich." That's basic customer service. Instead, I'm left with inedible food at 10 at night

    We just popped in here for some quick takeout, it did not take long and was very easy. Hard not to like their food as everything is delicious and quite savory. I enjoyed my small chicken platter, it was almost more than I could eat, the large would easily satisfy two people. Kind of a small place with pretty basic ambience, but lends itself to take out very nicely. Bottom line is the food was delicious!

    Located across from the Planet Fitness, it's a good place for after a workout. My buddy invited me over to gym with him so we hit this place for some good food afterwards. The sandwich wrap is good. Even the fries. Not the cheapest. But still decent enough.

    Regular Platter. Half chicken. Half beef. Add hummus. 10/10.

    Came here after a workout with a friend. I've never had The Hala Guys before. So, first timer here. Estuardo was great from the start. He greeted us with a smile. We told him it was our first time here. He explained the menu to us patiently. Estuardo helped me with my platter. Another gentlemen helped my friend out with hers. Both guys were awesome and helpful. Both warned us about how spicy they're sauce was. Just to confirm, it is spicy so please be careful. I ordered the Regular Platter with half chicken and half beef. Added hummus for $1. I also added jalapenos and bell peppers for no additional cost. The platter comes with lettuce, tomatoes, and rice. I give the platter a 10/10. I highly recommend this place and I'll be back.

    Combo plate

    A way better alternative to chipotle or CAVA! Halal guys has it down with their guaranteed freshness of ingredients and the FLAVOR. Who cares about pound town go to FLAVOR TOWN with halal guys!! The white sauce & hot sauce is where it's at. I just shake the entire bowl up honestly. It's the best thing ever. I get a combo bowl of chicken and beef with onions lettuce tomato and jalapeños then just douse it in white sauce and hot sauce. I knocked a star because the service was subpar. The workers were defintely unwelcoming and I felt like a burden just for ordering food??? Like whaaaaaat. WEIRD. Anyways it costs nothing to smile or be kind. The place is a good size, you can sit inside to enjoy your meal!

    Regular Platter French Fries Pita Bread 4 - Pieces Falafel
    Tracey N.

    Love the food here, it is filling and affordable. I find myself craving it! The sauce really makes it. Fries should be an alternative base option if you don't want rice, but I was able to substitute it for an additional charge at least. 100% recommend this as the fries were really good and crispy! I wish there were more vegetable options though as the salad is quite limited. The falafel was a little dry too, and the hummus was not great at all, it was so watery and tasted strange.

    Gyro
    Pete B.

    This place was recommended by a Facebook Foodie Page, so I thought I would give it a try as part of my Mediterranean food tour where I tried various dishes at dozen Mediterranean restaurants in a 6-month period. The gyro meat was chopped really small. Not sure why they do that. I like the gyro meat to be a large size, so you can chew it and hopefully enjoy the flavors. Overall, the flavor was okay. The staff was friendly. Parking was super easy. The price of the gyro was comparable to other similar locations.

    We finally got to try this place with legendary roots in New York. The food, service, and atmosphere were all pretty good. We had the small combo plate with rice, vegetables and choices of proteins. It was a delicious and balanced lunch. We have a young puppy so we appreciate the outdoor seating area. Parking: There are plenty of free parking at this large shopping center.

    Dear Famous Hot Sauce, I love you, but I hate you. You are everything I need, yet you do not love me the same. Was my pouring affection not enough? Why do you make me go to a battlefield in a losing battle? The afterburn is more than pain; the Chorro you give is not rainbows and unicorns. What I ordered: COMBO PLATTER (Beef gyro and Chicken as well as rice, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeño, and famous white and hot sauce) - The food was good, but I need to pick my fights better--end of the story.

As well as the ambiance he created with a nice selection of music - a food delivery person came in dancing from the music! it was so cute The food was delicious as well. Meat is well seasoned and not over cooked, rice was supple, and hummus was a texture i really enjoyed (I don't favor hummus that feels on the thin side). Not pictures is the tzatziki app I ordered, but i loved pairing it with the meat to add a refreshing element to my meal! Again, appreciate you super much Garreth!!!

That first experience is what made me come back. On my second visit, I ordered the same salad with chicken and lamb because I wanted that same experience again. When I got back to work, I realized the chicken was missing. I did not complain because I still had the lamb and the rest of the salad, and I understand that mistakes happen. Still, it was disappointing because I specifically came back wanting the same complete meal I had the first time. On my third visit, I drove from Gardena to Signal Hill specifically for that salad. After driving back to Gardena, I realized there was no dressing in the bag. I called the restaurant and explained what happened. I was told, "I'm sorry." At first I accepted that, but then I thought, what am I supposed to do with a salad with no dressing? I called back because I wanted to know what could be done. I was told that if I wanted my money back, I would have to bring the salad back to the restaurant. That meant after already driving from Gardena to Signal Hill and back, I was expected to make another trip because of something the restaurant forgot. When I explained that I was disappointed with how the situation was being handled and that I planned to leave a review, the woman on the phone responded, "All this for a dressing?" That comment bothered me more than the original mistake. Yes, it was dressing, but that misses the point. This was already the second time something had been left out of my order. The first time, I let it go. This time, the missing item affected the whole meal. What I would have appreciated was simple customer service. Acknowledge the inconvenience and make an effort to keep the customer. Something as simple as, "We apologize. Unfortunately, we cannot refund you without the food being returned, but on your next visit we will make sure we take care of you," would have completely changed the experience. Even offering a drink next time or simply saying they appreciated my business would have shown that they cared. I also tipped on my takeout order because I believe a tip is a way of showing appreciation for good service and attention to detail. I understand that a tip does not guarantee perfection, but it was disappointing to tip and still receive an incomplete order. There was also something I observed during this visit that concerned me. Someone spilled a drink, and one of the cooks helped clean it up. He wiped the floor while wearing gloves and, from what I could see, appeared to keep the same gloves on when returning to food preparation. That made me uncomfortable. I would have expected the gloves to be changed before handling food again. To be fair, the restaurant itself looks clean, organized, and well maintained. The tables, chairs, counters, and furniture appear to be in good condition. That is one of the reasons I kept giving this place another chance. I wanted to like Pita Pitaki. After my first visit, I thought it might become one of my go to places. Unfortunately, I never really got that same full experience again. My first visit was good. My second visit was missing the chicken. My third visit was missing the dressing, followed by customer service that made me feel like my concern did not matter. You can have good food and a clean restaurant, but customer service still matters. Sometimes how a business handles a mistake matters more than the mistake itself. My advice for anyone ordering takeout here is simple. Double check your order before you leave. Open the bag and make sure you have everything, especially meats, sauces, and dressing. Unfortunately, after giving this place several chances, it is no longer one of my go to spots.
