After the city of Long Beach mandated<\/a> the closure of bars and any in-person dining at restaurants to slow down the coronavirus, essentially the entire foodservice industry has had to alter how it operates at least until March 31\u2014and possibly longer. Some of them have gotten creative.<\/p>\r\n

Here is a list of what restaurants are offering as they urge patrons to use their delivery\/take-out\/to-go options. As a heads up, it also includes restaurants that will not be open at all.<\/p>\r\n

Perks: The city’s best Cambodian food<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Cambodian food in Long Beach is more than a cuisine. It is the essence of a community that was nearly annihilated from history due to a genocide that forced them to leave their country and make Long Beach their home. It\u2019s more than a cup of noodles; it\u2019s a beautiful display of culinary art and cultural resilience. They deserve our patronage. Call for take-out or delivery through Door Dash and Postmates.<\/p>\r\n

3701 E. Fourth Street; 562-439-0605<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

As each year passes since Prime has been open, I remain entirely miffed that it is not constantly mentioned as much as other Fourth Street hubs like its neighbor, Coffee Cup Cafe, or Taqueria La Mexicana or Lola\u2019s or\u2026<\/p>\r\n

Here, they have happily married Mexican food with some Southern grub love; we\u2019re talking brisket tamales, mac y chorizo, \u201cboaritas\u201d tacos, and green chorizo quesadillas. Prime offers spectacularly quality food with near-overwhelming kind service.<\/p>\r\n
