“Heritage Restaurant, Long Beach – A Well-Earned Michelin Star by Michael Broderick. In a city where “Californian” culinary ambition often plays second fiddle to casual dining, Heritage in Long Beach has carved out a place of quiet excellence, earning a well-deserved Michelin star. This intimate dining experience is a testament to ingredient-driven, technique-forward cooking, where flavors are both restrained, unpretentious, and deeply expressive. From the first bite, it was clear that Heritage excels at layering textures and flavors in unexpected ways. The meal began with an Amuse Bouche trio: a delicate prawn cracker topped with sweet Dungeness crab, a green leaf with another seafood salad that was to be eaten like a mini street taco, and balanced with the brightness and light crunch of pickled turnip. A seemingly simple couple of bites, but one that foreshadowed the precision and thoughtfulness of the courses to follow. To cleanse the palate, a mint tea infused with palo santo was served—a meditative interlude that was both refreshing and aromatic, setting the stage for the evening’s journey. The first official course, Crème Caviar, featured Russian Sturgeon Heritage Caviar and chive, a chilled preparation that was rich yet elegantly restrained. This was followed by Kanpachi Crudo, presented with carrot, ginger, and macédoine vegetables, offering a balance of clean ocean flavors against bright, vegetal undertones. Then came what I consider the star of the evening: a dish that fully captured the ethos of Heritage—Hen of the Woods Mushroom, topped in a “sunchoke stew” (crispy fried sunchoke) with fermented mushroom. For an additional $25, an indulgent shaving of black truffle took the dish to another level, transforming it into a sensory experience that evoked the deep, earthy satisfaction of foraging. The interplay of umami-rich elements made this course a masterpiece of textural and flavor contrast. The proteins that followed were executed with equal care. First, a perfectly prepared Rainbow Trout, sauted to perfection with a crispy layer of skin on one side, delicate pink flesh on the other, bathed in a delicate dashi and punctuated with bursts of smoked trout roe in a light creme sauce, which lent salinity and depth. Then, a 32-day dry-aged rib chop, a cut that can sometimes lean too “gamey” in the tradiinal steak house that cuts corners on a post aging trim, yet here was a revelation—tender, deeply beefy, but balanced. Accompanying the dish was sous vide endive, black garlic, and a shaving of Parmesan, which surprisingly lacked the usual sharpness, instead presenting a more rounded, delicate, nutty flavor. Desserts were a study in technique and balance. The first, a Grilled Strawberry with strawberry granita and Meyer lemon crème, was bright and refreshing, its layers revealing different expressions of cool and sweetness. Then came the Coco Craquelin, a delicate choux pastry filled with beurre noisette ganache and banana cremeux, meant to be eaten with the hands—a playful and interactive moment in the meal. Finally, a Sage Basque Cake, its subtle herbaceousness complemented by toasted hemp seeds and lemon curd, provided a grounding, crispy finish. Heritage is the kind of restaurant that doesn’t simply chase trends—it refines them into something personal, something intentional. The execution is confident but never showy, and the experience is paced with precision, allowing each dish to tell its own story. This is not just a meal—it’s a quiet, profound meditation on flavor, technique, and the land from which it all comes. Where other restaurant profess to be a true “Californian” style farm to table experience , Heritage is, without a doubt, a must-visit for anyone who seeks out truly exceptional dining in California.“

“terrific food. very flavorful and healthy.“

“Nice little spot on pier avenue. The salad is really good and I thought the pizza was pretty decent. The dough they use is really good and they make the pizza very crispy. They also make the pizza fresh so it might take a little time to get your pizza if you order there.“

“Had the best tortilla soup ever! And Chef Steven Lutz circulating through the restaurant to say hi and assure everyone having great food and service was a treat. Don’t miss the baked goods like banana cream pie. Amazing! Very pleased and will be back again!“

“Good quality food. Healthy options. Great service. My favorite is the braised beef and mushroom with mashed potatoes. The mango tart is amazing.“

“Last week I was traveling through LA on my way to Santa Barbara. I had some time to kill so I looked up Poke. Came across this amazing place! I am admittedly new to Poke. The staff took good care of me and I wound up having such a hard decision. I think the spicy Poke might have been might absolute favorite. I can’t wait for my next trip to LA so I can stop there again!“

“Order the pho and wonton soup - both broths were flavorful and delicious. My Vietnamese girlfriend gave approval for authentic taste and quality.
Interior is well decorated and tastefully minimalistic. Service staff is so kind and attentive. Shoutout to Kian. 🙏🍜“

“Fantastic meal full of nutrients and energizes the body. The concept of Everytable is phenomenal. Everything is delicious.“

“Great little pizza place that you can pick up a pizza and take to the beach or back to the house. The meat lovers did not disappoint one bit, the crust was phenomenal and the owner gave me an order of garlic knots that were killer. Can’t wait to come back.“

“I have been ordering for one month. FOOD = FRESH and DELICIOUS
DELIVERY = PROMPT ONTIME and FRIENDLY DELIVERY to my job weekly.

I Love everything about my subscription, I feel better, lunch is always fresh tasty and worth every penny.

THANK YOU ALL AT THIS LOCATION for making my life easier and my eating lunch exciting.

Most economical choice for a weeks worth of lunches, breakfast’s and salads.“

“This little place has a big menu of Hawaiian foods. My boys always get the spam loco Moco. I like to get there poke With spicy, crunchy salmon And spicy crunchy tuna. Lots of flavor and they do have brown rice there which I really like . Go there on Tuesdays to Poke and more for poke is the best price of the week.
This place is just down the street from Ry’s poke who just opened up. I have been going there for a while and I definitely recommend it. They have lots of different flavors to choose from On their poke Menu and they will let you taste test any of them. I really like their Poké bowls here they’re really good.
But if you want super high-quality poke Go to Ry’s poke down the street It’s definitely top-notch and the premium is cut Just enough to fill a small container to serve probably about 10 people. Then they make it fresh again.
I recommend both places are both very good Ry’s will cost a little more But you’re Paying for freshly cut tuna and sometimes you might have to wait a while before you get your poke because it is freshly cut. But as well worth it!!!❤️😄👍“

“This was literally one of the best salads I’ve ever had. You’re going to become a regular in our rotation.“

“The food is amazing 10/10 but the outdoor patio dinning is awful. You cannot have a conversation because the sound echos so loudly and when the staff moves tables around they drag it along the tile and all of the tables have to stop and wait till they are done to be able to speak again with your table.“

“It was about that time again 4 lunch and I was around the area of Gardena and I found this gem sups chicken OMG one of the best chicken sandwiches tender combos and drink I've seen in a while you definitely must come and support because 👁️ will be coming for their once a month breakfast sandwich 🥪🥪.....“

“Everything ; food; service“

“We had breakfast at Zuzu’s Petals on a Saturday morning and arrived around 8:30 a.m. Parking took a little patience—we circled the block once or twice—but we found a spot within about a block of the restaurant.

There was about a 10–15 minute wait to order. The pace here is definitely relaxed, but that was part of the charm. I was catching up with a friend, and everyone waiting in line seemed to be in a good mood, so it felt more like part of the experience than an inconvenience.

After ordering at the counter, you receive a number and the staff brings your food to your table. The food wasn’t fast, but it also wasn’t excessively slow—it arrived at a comfortable, leisurely pace that fit the overall vibe of the restaurant. We sat on the covered sidewalk patio, which was pleasant and shaded, and by the time we finished, the line had grown all the way around the corner. Clearly this place is popular.

I ordered the skillet with drip coffee. Everything was well prepared and satisfying, and my total came to about $26 before tip, which felt pretty typical for the area.

Our server wasn’t constantly checking in or refilling coffee automatically, but whenever we needed something and got their attention, they were happy to help with a smile.

One thing to be aware of: the restaurant adds a 4% wellness charge to every check, with a note on the menu explaining that it supports employee compensation and wellness initiatives and the entirety of the charge is retained by the company. The menu also states that the charge can be removed if requested.

Overall, Zuzu’s Petals has a welcoming, neighborhood feel with good food and a relaxed atmosphere“

“Great salad! Love the option to add your favorite veggies 🥗“

“In my 60 years (GASP) on this planet I have NEVER EVER had such an amazingly great pizza!! You cannot go wrong here!!“

“I have gone into GOOP several times to get something to go. Rogelio has always been very friendly, helpful, and accommodating, and has gotten my order together quickly and efficiently. His warm spirit makes stopping off there a pleasure. Thank you, Rogelio!“

“Love my Salad 💕💕It was the bomb 💣“

“This is a great concept for a takeout restaurant with prepared meals. I got the cilantro rice, spicy black beans, a buddha bowl with tofu, and honey spicy sweet potatoes for a great price. Some items were 25% off because they were going out of date the next day, but they lasted in my fridge, and still tasted fresh, for 3 days. They also have meat entrees, but I really appreciated their vegan options. The only reason I didn't give Everytable five stars is because they use more oil than I prefer. The food is yummy, but wish they'd use less oil, at least on the vegan dishes. And, the service was helpful, especially for my first time there. The location in Torrance has a small area with tables and chairs and they will heat up your food, if you prefer your meal warm.“

“For my first time trying Cava, I had an amazing and exceptional experience. Not only was the food delicious as expected, but the customer service and atmosphere exceeded my expectations. Luna was enthusiastic, helpful when answering my questions, and very inviting and welcoming. The kind and warm energy made me want to come back and indulge in more Cava goodness!“

“Love almost all of their dishes and buy here frequently, however, the Adobo Hot wing (expiration date 4/11 purchased/consumed 4/7) did not feel as fresh as their typical standard for the rest of their meal that I love so much! Especially the herb dipping sauce didn’t smell fresh. I absolutely was excited to see that they have wings tho but I will stay away from that particular dish & will continue to pick up their other great dishes!“

“First time trying their poke but it was so refreshing in this summer heat! Tried their Signature Poke and a tea which came well portioned in terms of protein and had a nice amount of sauce. Cost-wise it is a little bit on the more expensive side for a poke bowl so I don’t know if I would come here often. A nice thing to try once!“

“Always Fresh & Delicious 😋“

“Pizza was very good! 🔥 would definitely recommend to anyone in the Long Beach vicinity! High quality pizza, I would go there again, and again, and again!“

“just check your takeout meal is complete before you leave they forgot my pita bread huhu“

“Amazing Experience! The Food is Delicious and Creative. The Margarita’s are just as unique and delicious, and the STAFF make you feel at home❣️🤗 Great Staff, Delicious Food & Great Drinks! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for your wonderful hospitality❣️“

“Delicious food and friendly workers“

“Take out only. Very flavorful rice and protein options. Family owned. If you are placing order beforehand, it’s worth to note that the prices in store are atleast $3 less than what they have on DoorDash/Uber eats for same item, so you are better off avoiding middlemen“

“This place is awesome 😎🍻Always a fun time here“

“Wow! I was very surprised and impressed by the quality and taste of this fish! I got the fisherman's basket and they sent out a trio of dipping sauces. Very tasty very yummy. The fish was cooked wonderfully the calamari tasted great. The crabcake was over the top! And the value was incredible. this place is definitely got a good restaurant strategy going. come try it. You won't be disappointed.“

“corner joint is the spot for drinks and food... and to kick back just try there food any u can't go wrong“

“Amazing sandwich at a very fair price.

All the ingredients were super fresh.

The signature sandwiches are all very unique. But if there is something specific that you want, there’s the option to do a custom sandwich.

I will absolutely be coming back next time. Next time I I am going to try a smoothie and report back.“

“This place is definitely worth the walk from the aquarium. We didn’t want to eat at one of the chain restaurants so we ventured out a little and we were so glad we did! I would eat here regularly if I lived in Long Beach.
The friendliness of the staff was the first thing we noticed. The menu had so many good sounding sandwiches we had a hard time deciding.
Everything on our sani’s was very fresh tasting and looking.
The Beach Hut Deli is top notch for a delicious sandwich that is made to look as good as the pictures.
We loved the music also.“

“Only in town one day and ate here twice. Such a beautiful find. Kind staff. Good food. I wish I lived closer.“

“best pizza! great in-house bread“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“Customer service is great and food is delicious! I highly recommend this place for those who enjoy a great pizza and a good sand which. I highly recommend the Spicy BBQ Pastrami sandwich, the flavor of the spiciness and BBQ is exceptional, yoy won't regret it!“

“Very good options for Salad, sandwiches for vegetarian and vegans.
Food is delicious , high quality and pocket friendly. For a healthy food , it’s very good choice. Go for Vegan Banh Mi, Avocado-Quinoa superfood Ensalada wrap/Salad
Place is clean and staff is friendly.“

“Met the chef and owner, he was so kind and accommodating. The food was fast and delicious. The grilled chicken was so flavorful, the Greek salad was also delicious. My friend loved the fried chicken as well. Overall, amazing experience with people who genuinely care about the food they are making and their customers.“

“Fresh, filling and delicious!“

“Have lunch with co-workers every week here. Great food and very friendly service. Best Thai food I've found in the South Bay area!“

“I've been coming to this place for 35 years. Not one thing has changed about their great quality since. If you like old school dining rustic places with full arcadium and salad bar, then you will feel right at home here. Red West is a famous local spot in Wilmington.“

“Great creative sushi rolls. Excellent service.“

“Friendly staff and great food and lots of parking in front!“
