The Thai It Up salad with Far East Asian/Soy Mix is EVERYTHING!

I first fell in love with The Win-Dow at the original Venice location. There was something special…read moreabout whispering sweet nothings into that little ordering window, then walking over to another little window to receive your heavenly gift: a crispy, juicy, delicately cheesy burger on a soft bun--all for under $10. I've traveled around and tried a lot of burger joints. It's honestly hard to fuck up a burger, but it's also hard to make one truly memorable. The Win-Dow captures exactly what an LA burger should be: quick, simple, delicious, and affordable. Now they have locations throughout Southern California, including this one in Long Beach--which I especially like because it isn't surrounded by hundreds of hipsters. It's in one of my favorite parts of Long Beach, where you still get those laid-back beach-town vibes. The staff is usually pretty straightforward. Smiling must be considered an "ick" nowadays, but no worries--I'm here for the burgers. There's a chill little area outside the pickup window where you can eat, or you can drive a few blocks to the beach and enjoy it there. For the quality, simplicity, and price, The Win-Dow is genuinely one of my favorite burger joints. When you consider everything--not just the burger itself, but the experience and value--this could possibly be the best burger in LA.

My cousin who lives by Long Beach recommended to try this place, and I 1000% recommend this place…read moreif you are in the Long Beach area by 2nd Street. This place did not disappoint for a burger joint. I ordered just a a simple cheeseburger and got the crispy brussels sprouts and wow just wow. The crispy brussels sprouts was actually pretty tasty and the perfect crispy. It is not soggy at all more than crispy like some restaurants do when offering crispy brussels sprouts . It also was seasoned simply but still tasted so good. The cheeseburger was also just a simple cheeseburger, but it was so good and cooked perfectly to my liking with burgers. I had some of my cousins fries with the jalapeno ranch and house ranch to try and I def recommend trying the sauces they have. I also tried my cousins shake (the chocolate s'mores) and it was quite tasty that I kept taking a few sips of it. Overall, 1000% recommend when in Long Beach. I believe they do have another location somewhere else in SoCal according to my cousin, but I am not too sure where.

Great place for a great meal

Their regular cheeseburger (i dont remember the name) was quite yummy. I tried another burger that had some "spice" to it (also forgot the name), but i wouldnt get that again because there was a lot going on. Overall, the burgers are hit or partial misses. Their fries are also very delish, crispy, and come in a decent portion. Although, i dont like the aoili that comes with the fries. Something about the aoili does not match well with the fries in my opinion, and i normally LOVE sauces. Honestly, the fries are better off without any sauce besides ketchup.

With my Afro Latino roots I was craving a Cubano sandwich and was thoughtful enough to grab a "Spicy Steve" and the service was attentive and top tier at the same darn time It's a quaint spot and mad me fee like I was diving into the better unknown secrets of Belmont Heights with pleasant results. Now what should never be allowed is the tasteless, seasonless and soulless potato salad that was presented to me at the counter which should be overhauled or punishable to the chef and crew by making them eat a years supply of this horrific concoction. All in all it was a delightful surprise and I'll be back shortly to enjoy that next round of fantastic sandwiches ! P.S. For the love of God rethink that potato solid it's a good way to lose business if it's that memorable !

Came for the $3 Taco Tuesday night. Surprisingly not busy! Was worried about parking on the street…read morebut luckily we found a spot not too far of a walk away. They had sports playing on the TVs and the interior is pretty small. It's more of a casual vibe good for a chill night out. It kinda feels like a place where you order at the front and get takeout, but they have someone who will wait on your table if you choose to dine in. I came with a vegetarian friend and we had a fun time sampling the different taco meats and rating each. Here is my ranking: 1. Asada - I hate to be basic, but this was good for what it was. It tasted like they might have used mushroom meat, but this takes place as #1 for me because I think it could be a general crowd pleaser for any non-vegetarian. On the contrary, my vegetarian friend did not like it because she found it too dry. 2. Barbacoa - A very, very close second. The only reason it places behind asada is because asada is a classic. Barbacoa has good texture and I could eat a lot of these too. 3. Chorizo - This was the closest to tasting like its actual counterpart. I could eat a bunch of chorizo. Crumbly meat with lots of flavor. 4. Tinga - I'm not as familiar with tinga meat, but the pickled red onion that went with this taco gave it a savory taste. Good to try out but you're not missing out if you choose other flavors. 5. Chicken - Tasted like tofu meat? Not bad - I don't usually pick chicken for taco meat so this might be a personal preference choice. 6. Pastor - Sweet, but did not taste like pastor. Had a little trouble distinguishing between the pastor and the tinga at first, but came to the conclusion the pastor was the one with pineapple on it. I mostly prefer savory meats and while I don't mind the pineapple, the pastor I usually have is not sweet itself. If you like sweet meats, this might be worth getting. 7. Potato - Everybody can skip the potato. It's a fried potato taco, but the potato they use resembles a breakfast hash. The crispiness is nice, but the texture is flaky and the sauce doesn't save it. Even my vegetarian friend was let down by this one even though she had high hopes and usually likes potato tacos. Overall the server told us most of the taco meats were soybean based (not the pastor). I think the chorizo might be falafel, but that's a guess? Ended our meal with the Tres Leches as a dessert. Frosting is buttery and sweet (maybe a little too much frosting) but the cake goes super well with the milk. It sits in a soy milk bath which is a first for me. I wish they had added more soy milk! The menu is huge though. I was very tempted to try other stuff on the menu so I am very open to coming back and trying the breakfast platter (or getting more tacos again, yum).

I ordered ahead as I was in a bit of a rush and thankfully they were very quick at preparing my food! They also didn't compromise on the quality in doing so! I managed to find a spot on the adjacent side street and was greeted as soon as I entered. The ambiance of the restaurant was bright and colorful with plenty of cozy seating both inside and outside. They also had a pastry case filled with some drool worthy cakes. The friendly employee quickly found my order. The menu was vast but I ordered an indulgent chocolate crepe, as I was craving something sweet and light. The crepe had a lovely pillowy texture and was so heavenly, both the chocolate sauce and chocolate mousse were so rich and decadent and had me wanting more! I loved the freshness, sweetness and juiciness of the berries! The coconut whipped cream really took it over the top and added a nice airiness. Their crepes are must haves and I'm dying to try more of them! I will definitely be back soon to this location or one of their other conveniently located ones!

What an amazing experience I had last night. We have…read morevisited this establishment many times in the past, but yesterday was great and a bit bad. My wife and I ordered a pizza to start. Well asked for it to be welcome and perfectly it came out. Our main was Pappardelle with short rib and the lemon chicken. Unfortunately the mains were pretty cold. Small blame on the kitchen. Here is how my experience became a WOW. My server NASTASSIA was the reason my night was perfect. She was so understanding and empathetic about the cold food. She immediately asked what she could do to make it better. She requested a new dish to be fired up. New pappardelle came out perfect with another side of mashed potatoes. She once again asked blue the food was and if we're were happy. She also informed the manager of our experience. She came over and also apologized and offered my wife and I dessert. My wife picked the bread pudding. Overall I am a BIG believer that employees are the reason for the success of a business. More employees in the world need to be more like Natassia. THANK YOU

Our waitress, Chelsea, was very accommodating, especially when I asked if there were any gluten-free options.

Of course had to add the French fries which were thin and crispy just like we Like them. Chelsea also brought more when she saw that we were running low. Next time I will try the blue cheese fries which I saw in everyone's review after I ordered regular. I recommend this fun vibe restaurant in Belmont Shore all day long.

I loved the ambience and the overall atmosphere. From the photos online, I honestly didn't know exactly what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised because the food was actually really good. I ordered the chicken wings, and they were delicious. They were crispy, crunchy, flavorful, and the sauces were really good. We also shared the chicken nachos, which were good as well. My only suggestion would be to add a little more cheese to the nachos, but overall I enjoyed everything. Our waiter was also great, which made the experience even better. There are so many good restaurants in this area, but I would definitely add this one to my list and come back again. I'd give the overall experience a 9/10. If you're in the neighborhood, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. And if you're into beer or cocktails, they have a huge selection of beers and drinks, which is another big plus. I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to love this place, but they definitely surprised me in a good way!
