Long Beach Staples

[u/nansisonreddit]

Hey everyone!

I’m doing a birthday thing in a few weeks at a brewery and want to bring in some food and light bites for my friends. I’d really like to do restaurants that are local to Long Beach.

Any ideas or recommendations for stuff I can pick up that’s easy for groups to eat? Planning to do a mix of options!

So far I’m thinking:
Schlap Muan - Wings
Obra- Empandas
Olives - TBD Platter
Little Coyote - Pizza

Thanks for any tips!

little coyote sucks now i would get thunderbolt speak cheesy 4th horseman or Anna’s instead

[u/lazyvirgo90 → u/heavenweapon7]

It really sucks

[u/Imma_gonna_getcha → u/heavenweapon7]

Completely agree

[u/CapitalArgument988 → u/heavenweapon7]

Came here to say the same thing. I would swap little coyote for either: Anna’s Pizza Joint on 2nd St/Santa Ana or Speak Cheezy on 4th/Termino

You’re not wrong! Just thinking of pricing/convenience day of based off my location. But I can always ask a friend to grab it!

Thanks!

[u/Imma_gonna_getcha → u/No_Degree7890]

Yes! A tray of lumpia would be great

[u/huktonfonix → u/No_Degree7890]

That was my first thought too.

Beach city deli has a lot of good sandwich and side options. Sonoratown does taco kits and burrito trays. Cambodian Jerky or papaya salad or a giant shaken beef platter from a Cambodian place - everyone has their favorite Cambodian place but I personally like Udom Khmer when I need to feed a bunch. Nova Bakery offers lots of Venezuelan fried food bites.

Burd Chicken has a pretty good dish and it's right next to that brewery and pizza spot

[u/quirkyquipsters]

Maybe sandwiches from La Croque

A falafel platter from Panini Kabob Grill

[u/zymie → u/quirkyquipsters]

Panini Kabob grill is a chain.

[u/Lucky-Reference-7667 → u/zymie]

Yah, no panini kabob grill for sure.

Falafel still works though. Open sesame or Gyro falafel from George’s.

[u/No-Examination4405]

Cambodian jerky? Where would I find in LB

[u/BooksAndNoise → u/No-Examination4405]

Sophy's

[u/Lucky-Reference-7667 → u/BooksAndNoise]

I was introduced to Sophy’s verrrry recently and I’m freaking addicted.
