“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.“

“Đồ ăn Việt Nam chân thực, mang hương vị quê hương“

“The food was great. This would be a great place to take your date.“

“Small location. Very well maintained. Clean.The music is not too loud so you can have a conversation. The servers were very attentive always ensuring you had everything you need. I Ordered Calamari for appetizers and Camarones a la Diabla both were amazing as well as a good portion of food. Calamari nice and crispy and the camarones a good enjoyable spice.“

“What a delightful meal! We ordered the Honey Garlic Steak and Shrimp as everyone recommended and it was PHENOMENAL and my baby daughter almost finished her Breakfast JR because she was so full and definitely enjoyed it. Everything was fresh, thoughtfully prepared and truly enjoyable. Highly recommend this place and would also recommend more franchises throughout LA.“

“Incredibly fresh, not greasy, lovely wood detailing in the dining room. Had the chefs filet which was tender and amazingly black pepper with onion. Also the black bean shrimp was fantastic with bell pepper and chili.

Parking: Small parking lot, plenty of parking at 730pm Sunday“

“Had dinner there Friday night. Our server was Nadia. She was excellent. Gave great recommendations, was friendly and timely. The food was tasty, large portions and the perfect temp. Order the crème brûlée! SOOO GOOD“

“Good food, healthy choices.“

“Always a great time here. Food is hearty and tasty. Great drink options and local music/DJs most nights.“

“Hi love it it it it it it it“

“The food here is amazing! Fresh fish was delicious. I had the grilled Mahi Mahi, and my companion ordered the grilled Sea Bass. I am not a fish lover, but I could rave about both. The salad was fresh and tasty. Those words don't come from me very often. The fries were quite good, and I didn't hate the fried zucchini. When we ordered the entrees, they came with two sides. They had canned soda but supplied ice and cups. The place was so clean and tidy. The staff were helpful, friendly and assisted us with ordering our meal. I will be back again.“

“Todo muy rico todos muy amantes“

“The food is delicious!!!!! Always fresh, with so much flavor. Since I found this gem i am a weekly regular, if not more 😆 the owner is so kind, welcoming and sincere. The food is bomb and the environment it 🔥 what more could you ask for! Two very high thumbs up!“

“This place is the real deal. Easily one of the best fish and chips I've had in Orange County if not the best so far. You might convince yourself the near $30 price tag at places like santa monica seafood would give you better fish and chips but it's not the case. the batter here is crispy and much more delicate. not heavy and greasy like the beer battered options. I paid $12 for 3 giant pieces of fish. the value is fantastic and the quality is good. only complaints are that the inside can use a thorough dusting (don't look at the fan) and that the fries have potential to be a lot better. tbh if the fries resembled something closer to European chips I would pay another $10 for this plate happily.“

“Wow! What an incredible meal we had at Liv's. The seafood was so fresh and delicious. We had the shrimp cocktail with a unique fried horseradish sauce, crispy and light calamari, a charred gem wedge salad and a fantastic lobster roll stuffed full of juicy, delicious lobster. Very nice and friendly staff that made the experience all the better. If we lived near by, we'd be back quite often. Thanks, Liv's!“

“La direcció n para llegar“

Kid-friendliness: Took my son and he was dancing along to the music“

“Mlem Mlem Crab is a seafood lover's dream come true! My group and I got a mixture of fresh shrimp, crab, mussels, and crawfish in our boil, which suited everyone's tastebuds! The seafood was cooked to perfection and covered in their delicious signature mlem mlem crab and garlic butter sauce. We also added extra items like sweet corn, boiled eggs, sausages, and tender red potatoes which complemented the seafood and sauce beautifully. I appreciated that I could customize every part of the seafood boil from the spice level of the sauce to the individual items in the boil itself, allowing me and my group to tailor the meal to our tastes.On top of the great food, the ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, making it an excellent place for a casual dinner with friends. The nautical-themed decor added to the charm and made me feel like I was at a seaside eatery. The service was exceptional as our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and had great recommendations. Overall, I had a great experience at Mlem Mlem and can't wait to come back, sit on their outdoor patio, and enjoy another delicious seafood boil with a group of my friends!“

“Came here for a business dinner and was seated outside on a beautiful evening. Started off with a mix of oysters and the Cevichos. Both were excellent. Then the 5 of us went different directions for our mains, but my Squid Ink Linguini was top notch! Our server this evening was Chase K. He did excellent and we would love to come back here. Really good restaurant!“

“This is a very good seafood restaurant. I like the food. The environment is also very good and the service is very good.“

“I been coming here a few times since they opened.

For the most part the food is very delicious. However, the day I order the Ahi tuna seared was very chewy and the rice was a bit cold.

I typically don’t return food nor complain but I felt it was necessary to post the review to help the cooks. Since it’s a nice piece of fish!!

Furthermore, the location tends to be very busy.

Even though they have once cashier to assist you when ordering. The self ordering system tends to take long since most customers aren’t familiar with the system.

I usually tend to come here during my lunch break but from now on, I will have order ahead due to the lines and my limited time.

I highly recommend the Dynamite Shrimp Bowl or the Mahi Mahi plate.

Nice outdoor patio and very busy parking lot.

Parking: Busy parking lot“

“This location is super clean and all kitchen equipment are skinny clean stainless steel. Food is great as always.
Friendly staff.

Vegetarian options: Rice with gravy
Veggie bowl
Veggie egg rolls“

“My husband took me for my birthday! The cocktails were great I ordered the swordfish tacos and they were delicious. We had a wonderful time“

“Exquisito 👌riquísimo muy buen servicio agradable ambiente“

“The service was great, the ingredients were fresh, and we will be back next time.“

“1993 feels. This place has the best service, very fast on bringing out meals and cheese bread. It’s no wonder the wait and line. Great salad bar!!! Menudo always hitssssss. Malibu chicken was not the move. It had cheese and ham. BUT THE BAKED POTATOES ARE THE MOVE.

Vegetarian options: The salad bar has plenty to choose from for vegetarians. Also wonderful baked potatoes that come with a salad bar order.

Parking: They probably do need a few more handicap spots, but I was able to find one for my grandmother.

Kid-friendliness: It was my kids first time going to sizzler and they loved it. They definitely want to go back. They loved all the selections of the salad bar Menudo ice cream very kid friendly place. Family friendly. Something for everyone.

Wheelchair accessibility: Although coming in is a tight squeeze with the line, my grandmother was still able to maneuver with her electric wheelchair and find a good spot at our table. The staff was very accommodating.“

“Every time we come to eat here, everything is very delicious, the food is great, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great. Their specialty is the pezcado zarandeado, which I definitely recommend. Everything is good. I truly recommend it.“

“It was very good and staff was very friendly! Will be going back for sure“

“I've only eaten Poki twice and both were from here. I instantly fell in love with it. close to work so I can pick it up on my lunch hour.“

“Plenty of seating space. We always get deep fried halibut and French fries. Great combo.“

“This is the best place in LA for teriyaki. I got the chicken and beef plate. The sauce is sweet and delicious, the chicken is perfectly grilled with a nice charbroiled flavor, and the beef is tender. Make sure you add the fresh avocados which pair perfectly with the meat and rice. I enjoyed adding the complimentary hot yellow chilies as well.

This is my third visit here and tonight the beef seemed a little bit fattier than usual like it wasn't trimmed enough, but other than that, everything was perfect. I will be back.“

“Came here with a group of 4 on a Friday around 530. We were seated and attended to right away. The service was nice and the food was really good. We actually found that going alacart was cheaper then getting a combo on the menu. My mom shared a 1/2 pound of shrimp, 1/2 pound of green muscles, we added corn and sausage and like 2 ordered of garlic bread, plus we each had a margarita and our total was like 60 dollars as opposed to one combo with no drinks, and no garlic bread is like 60 dollars. Anyhow the flavors were so good we tried the butter garlic on the shrimp and the stinken sauce flavor on the muscles and everything was delicious! I recommend this place because it's also really close to (driving close that is) the long Beach exchange/ hanger for some walking around after you are nice and stuffed.“
