“Muy buena comida todo excelente“

“The salad bar is pretty fresh and good here. Better than some other locations for sure. This use to be one that had cornbread but haven't seen it in last couple of trips. The fried chicken wings are delicious! Service was great as well. Clam chowder hit and miss but overall good.“

“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.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious!“

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

“We drove 2 hours to meet friends driving down from LA. We all thought it well worth the effort. Food was really good, from fish and chips, Mahi Mahi and Chioppino. I would definitely go there again.“

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

“They have figured out the secret to great fish and chips. Cutest friendliest little husband and wife team. Always great and reasonably priced. Have been going for years.“

“Phenomenal food that leaves you wanting more. The oysters were delicious and fresh, everything you could want. Figs and apples were a light, refreshing snack with a hint of spice. Everything was delicately prepared to perfection and even the wine accompanied everything so beautifully. Prawns seasoned well and were a great size too. Every bite was delightful and worth the wait. I look forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu.“

“This place is the best! I’ve had the bacon ranch fries from here for pickup and through uber eats. The employees are so kind and the the service is great. The portion for the price is pretty good. Also it tastes amazing! They offer so much variety and their desserts sound amazing.
They also have a bunch of deals during the week, check their IG for the different offers.“

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

“Me and my family went this past Sunday after spending our day at Disney, and to say the food was really good is an understatement. The food was so good we wanted to keep eating more !. Please check out this place whether you’re a local or visiting!. Great place !

Parking: Plenty of space

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

“Hi love it it it it it it it“

“These fish tacos shot straight into the top three I’ve ever had. They’re made with Ono (also called Wahoo) — a fish I had never tried before. It’s mild, slightly sweet, and just perfect in tacos. The tortilla was thin but firm, the kind that doesn’t fall apart but still tastes fresh. On top came a crunchy, flavorful salad and a green salsa that was simply amazing — bright, tangy, and the kind of sauce you’d want to put on everything. Honestly, every bite was a knockout.

When I walked in, Shawn immediately recommended the Ono, and I’m so glad I trusted him. Thanks, buddy — you nailed it with that suggestion. And Erika’s service was just as memorable: super friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

The whole experience — the food, the service, the vibe — was fantastic. These tacos weren’t just good, they stood out in a big way. No question, I’ll be back soon to see what else is on the menu. If the tacos are this good, the rest is going to be a treat.“

“Just visited the San Pedro location on Gaffey. I had the garlic shrimp - seriously delicious!!!“

“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.“

“My first time here , came based off Google reviews. Absolutely wish we can order everything off the menu but my stomach can't take it all!! I ordered the Cantonese filet mignon stir fry with mushrooms, onions and Thai basil leaves and it was soooo flavorful and tender. My friend ordered the chow mein with chicken and it was soo delicious and I'm not talking about the panda express type chow mein. Can tell that this place really uses quality ingredients. Love the atmosphere. Hope to come back here again with my family to enjoy their dimsum!! I definitely want to try their Boston lobster fish next time!! Please check this restaurant out if you are a local or coming from out of town! It's a must😊“

“Mahetini and their Old Fashioned drinks“

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

“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.“

“I was impressed with their customer service. Everyone in there were extremely nice. The food was awesome. Got a botana half cevice and half aguachile Rojo because i couldnt decide for one. It was all good and refreshing! I can't wait to go back and get a full tray now.“

“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“

“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!“

“My first time here. The food was delicious and very clean environment. The staff very friendly and helpful. Overall I recommend this place for good food and great service.

“I really miss the vegetarian restaurant Soufflé, but I can get a little taste of it at Sizzler…

This is my personal opinion considering the price and food quality.

It's been a while since I've been there, but I like the atmosphere and the taste is always the same.

Best food very cheap warm and delicious soup Thank you for the kind service of the elderly servers. We go often without worrying about my wallet.
I go about twice a month, and the salad for health is fresh, and the clam chowder soup is especially delicious.“

“Food is always fresh and delicious I’ve been eating here since 2019 staff is always friendly by far the best deal on poke bowls around 3-4 dollars cheaper than any other poke spot but the lower price doesn’t mean worse food highly recommend poki naya“

“If you're in Paramount and craving bomb mariscos, run to Mariscos El Guicho! This food truck is next-level. I ordered the tacos enchilado, fish tacos, and the Botani Culichi platter — and honestly, everything was incredibly fresh and packed with flavor.

The tacos enchilado had the perfect spicy kick, balanced with just the right amount of creamy sauce. The fish tacos were crispy and tender, not greasy at all. And the Botani Culichi? That platter was loaded with flavor — creamy, cheesy, with that signature Culichi green sauce that ties it all together. Every bite was a hit.

Friendly service, quick turnaround, and super generous portions. You can taste how fresh the seafood is, and the quality is top-notch for a food truck. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to often“

“So after visiting more then onceI have to say that the food is deliciousWhen they get your order right.. taco Tuesday ? with everything on the side was a total MISS..So after visiting more than once, I have to say the food is delicious. When they get your order right. Taco Tuesday with everything else was a total FAIL.“

“My husband and I went to Parker’s Lighthouse for dinner on a Friday night, the first time at this restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised by the great service we received from our waiter and other waiters, no wait for a table, due to ample indoor and outdoor seating available, and the food was great. I wish I could remember our waiter’s name, he was in his 20’s, tall/lean, brunette, great personality, and great service. The only complaint I have is the hostess did not sit us at a great table originally, it took her three times to find a table with some kind of a view, there was plenty of seating options that had a partial or full view.“

“Exquisito 👌riquísimo muy buen servicio agradable ambiente“

“Ordered lobster and shrimp tacos today. They were delicious! I highly recommend them.“

“Definitely the best spot for fresh seafood if you’re in the Downey/South Gate area and surrounding cities. I was looking for some shrimp for some aguachiles to make at home and came across this place on Google. I stopped by and took a box of their 13/15 shrimp. Very fresh shrimp, it was already peeled and deveined, perfect for the aguachiles! They also had all the vegetables needed to make my aguachiles so that saved me a trip to the supermarket, also very fresh vegetables! I grabbed a special they have going of 2 mojarras and a pound of shrimp al mojo de ajo to try out their food at home and everything was delicious! Very fresh shrimp with great quality taste and their food was delicious..I’ll be back soon for more!“

“Their Aguachiles is the bomb.... love it with a great kick of Serrano Spice in it. Had their tacos and they are good, Tostada Mixta is delicious. Service is fantastic and parking is available and free... in the area and love Aguachiles like I do you have to try this one, won't “
