    Customer service is awful, workers are shouting vulgar comments, not one smile, the raps are like baby burritos i spent 30$ on nothing. I had to go to jack in the box next door to make a full meal of this.

    Chicken tarna bowl

    It was my first time visiting Zankou Chicken at this location, and it was such a great experience. The restaurant was clean, though pretty packed for a Thursday night. I came in to redeem my birthday reward, which was a free bowl and went with the chicken tarna bowl, half rice and half lettuce. I'm really glad I tried it this way because the lettuce is actually more of a Greek salad, which added a lot more flavor and texture to the dish. The chicken tarna itself was flavorful with a nice char, which I loved, though it was a bit on the dry side. I topped it with tzatziki and cucumber salad, and chose garlic sauce and tahini on the side. Everything paired really well together and made the dish really tasty. Customer service stood out here. I ordered online, and since they were running behind during the dinner rush, they offered me a free drink and pita chips without me even asking. That kind of gesture goes a long way. Overall, I had a great first visit. I'd come back again.

    Placed an order online for me to pickup after work for my son and I to share for dinner. Went in around 6:20pm on a Tuesday, and it was busy but not too busy. I don't have a picture of the bag with the label of my order, but everything was checked off. Did not get the harissa, tahini or utensils, so that was annoying to find out once I got home. Everything tasted good when I got home though, so it wasn't too bad. Definitely a good amount for the double portion of shawerma.

    One more pick up at Zankou Chicken. I placed my order on the app. I arrived and everything was ready. Tasty food that hits the spot, lively atmosphere, everyone is always so friendly. I've been eating at Zankou Chicken since the 90s. I don't think I've ever had a poor experience and I don't think I ever will. I Highly recommend it.

    It was toward the end of the lunch rush so there were a few dirty tables making it leass inviting to eat your food inside. There should be at least one person that goes around to clean tables, especially as guests leave. I didnt have to wait long for my food (to go order). The chicken wrap that I ordered was good but it looked as if it had been thrown together- Yes, I ate it! I was hungry! LOL Hopefully this was a fluke and other people's orders were made with a bit more care.

    The one taking the order was super helpful!

    Amazing customer service, super fast service. The food was delicious! - the food was all fresh & it was clean inside as well.

    Great food and excellent service! The staff member was very patient as we decided our food and side orders. Then we totally forgot to order drinks! She took good care of us! I have ordered the chicken (1/2 or 1/4) but not the Shawarma plates. We ordered a Tri-Tip and a Chicken plate. Fresh, warm pitas with that garlic sauce, so good! Side salads are great! Portions are generous! We dined in vs our usual.take out. Plenty of seating if you choose to dine in. We went early so parking was not an issue. It can be a bit challenging as it shares a lot with another fast food restaurant.

    Great job guys!

    Just wanted to share my recent experience at the Long Beach location. I went last minute to place a large order for some family that were in town and Tanya and her team were able to come through and help us out. Even though it was a big rush order the food was still delicious and my family, who had never tried Zankou loved it so much! Thank you Tanya and team for always making sure we always get the best customer service experience. Would highly recommend checking this place out. Don't forget to get some Baklava too!

    Fattoush Salad

    Back to this place lazy to cook, i bought fattoush salad!!! Amazing!!! Best salad I've ever eaten. Good price. I didn't add any protein. However you may add it for additional fee. The dressing!!! The dressing!!!

    Tri-Tip Shawerma Plate

    After driving by this place several times I finally gave it a shot. Super simple and clean layout, staff is on point and service is excellent. The shawarma was so good I was upset when I got to the last bite. Cucumber salad was tasty and refreshing. Honestly I don't have any complaints and will be back again.

    The food here is always good. So, that's why they ended up with a 3. But today, this place was a mess. I ended up using napkins and hand sanitizer I wipe down our tables. The floors were filthy. Rice, paper, trash, liquid spills by the trash can. Super disappointed to come in and see this. The store seemed fully staffed and not super busy that someone couldn't check up on the dining area. Just a few photos as I didn't want to take pictures of the entire floor.

    Combo Kabob Plate (top) & Quarter Dark Plate (bottom) with 2 garlic sauces & 2 packs of Pita Bread.

    My new go-to spot when we want Mediterranean food. I placed my order online through Yelp & it was ready on time. They got my order correct. (Unlike the other Mediterranean restaurants in Cerritos). Go to Zankou Chicken instead. Zankou chicken is the best. They do not skimp & the food tasted great! On a Friday night, this place was packed and had a lot of to-go orders ready to be picked up. You know it's a really good place when it's busy.

    It was okay! The food was basic and nothing too special. The service was ok. The prices were a bit high for the quantity and quality.

Kafta Kabob was overcooked and dry. Chicken Kabob was very dry and tough. Salmon Kabobs were too well done but decent. Their garlic sauce only have a light hint of garlic flavor to it. The best part of the meal was the rice and hummus. We realized all the upcharges were added to our bill. We asked for an ONE extra pita bread, they charged $1.00. They only gave us 1 garlic sauce and I asked for another one because we ordered 2 plates. They charged me an extra 75 cents because one of these combo plates doesn't include garlic sauce. Uhm... ok. Apparently only 1 plate can have a garlic sauce. What kind of logic is that?! They both are Mediterranean plates with rice and hummus! 75 cents extra for a tiny garlic sauce. Custom charge of $3.00 was added to our $24 combo plates because I substitute the beef for another salmon Kabob. The other Kabob was a chicken. A takeout order, they charges 15 cents for a paper bag. Kafta Kebab plate $18.99 Mixed Grill Combo $23.99 Single pita bread $1.00 Custom Charge $3.00 Garlic Paste 0.75 PAPERBAG FEE 0.15 Credit card surcharge of 3% is added to the bill. The bill came out to be $55 for a takeout meal that's inside and behind a liquor store. All the highlighted upcharges on the receipt (see picture) that other restaurants does not charges. This is just taking advantage of your customer. Next time, I'll enjoy a nice sit down meal at a Mediterranean restaurant down the street with those prices. So underwhelming and disappointed. I know times are tough. I'm sure that $20 plus dollars you charge for a plate of food already made the business some profit already. It's tough for the customers as well, but taking advantage like this, I will never come back again which is too bad because my office is near and we would of made this our regular place to grab lunch. In honesty, it's not the extra few dollars that matter, it's the principle.

All three varieties met our expectations, with the edamame hummus particularly standing out to me. Regarding the panini sandwiches (shared between two people) we had the Salmon Brie Panini and the Tofu Pesto Panini. The Salmon Brie Panini was enjoyable, though slightly fishy tasting. The Tofu Pesto Panini distinguished itself through its exceptional flavor, texture, and creativity. Overall, we were pleased with our experience and look forward to returning in the future.
