“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.“

“Omg!! Let me tell you I just had some of the best pork ribs bathed in red spicy chile! I already finished my food and I’m still saying yummmm! I have driven by a A few times and seen their advertisement in the middle of the intersection. I’m glad I stopped. Now I can’t wait to go back and try something else on the menu. Please give it a try you won’t be disappointed! ?? Oh and sorry no pics. I ate it so fast then realized I forgot to take a pic. ?“

“Met up here with a friend on a random Friday for late breakfast. The soyrizo skillet was fantastic! I also had a bite of my friend's almond croissant and it was literally the best one I have ever had. Food came out quick. I can imagine that some days that parking is terrible, but both my friend and I parked within the block.“

“Un buen servicio y la comida rica“

“Unique take on a food shop/restaurant. Not very many places offer affordable packaged healthy food. Yes it is cheaper to meal prep yourself by buying bulk and preparing meals for the week, but I have a huge problem of getting tired of eating the same meal day to day. This place allows me to buy some meals that i can take to lunch the next few days and enjoy a variety“

“Last night we went to Speak Cheezy on 4th St at Termino. First off, EXCELLENT customer service! We had the Shroomday Button (Oyster and Maitake Mushrooms/ White Wine Braised Leeks / Truffle Cheese / house stretched mozzarella / shredded mozz / parsley / post oven of lemon zest. *We love to add Hobbs Sausage*). I added that delicious sausage and loved that pizza! We also had the Bloomsdale (garlicky bloomsdale spinach / hand stretched mozzarella / shredded mozzarella /pecorino / smoked ricotta / gaeta olive / za’atar / feta salsa verde)... and YUM! And we decided to try the Garden of Farms Little Gem Caesar Salad (little gems / kewpie caesar dressing / pizza croutons / anchovies / Ribbons of Fiscalini Gold / soft cooked egg). Again, tasty, tasty, tasty. Speak Cheezy sure seems to use high-end products in the creation of their pizzas and salads. Everything was top notch. That salad was so yummy with that incredible salad dressing and the jammy soft cooked egg. I want another one to eat with my lovely pizza leftovers. :)“

“Great place for a beer and watching sports on the TV. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The complimentary crisps ( chips ) were delicious. I had the veggie burger and the Mrs had wings and they were both delicious. The IPA was a really good pint.“

“Fast and friendly service. Ordered a Combo with the Turkey Club and a Green Smoothie. Everything was made fresh. The sandwich had the perfect amount of ingredients, and they didn't overdo the garlic aioli.This is my second time here, and both times have been very good.This is a mom & pop shop, but the food is good. They only offer take-out, but it's good for a grab and go meal. I would highly recommend.

“Enjoyed my dining in I Luv Sushi too!“

“best pizza! great in-house bread“

“Excellent burgers. We are hooked on this place. Bubba burger, ABC burger, the Rammer, and the Patty Melt just make for scrumptious meals. Made to order with care of quality. Thick, juicy hamburger patties like they should be,
and compared to other restaurants charging $17-19 for similar burgers, $11-13 beats them all. The owners and staff are very friendly. Place closes at 8 (blah), so get there early. Seriously, it's so worth trying it at least once, but be warned, it's easy to become addicted to. :-)

Parking: Busy parking“

“Pizza by Georgios may not catch your eye from the outside, as the décor is a bit outdated, but don’t let that fool you. The true highlight here is the pizza and their delicious cheesesteak sandwiches , which is above average and well worth a visit. The crust is perfectly crispy, the toppings are generous, and the flavors come together beautifully. It’s clear they take pride in their ingredients and preparation.

While the service is standard, efficient but nothing fancy. However the quality of the food makes up for it. If you’re looking for great pizza without the frills, this spot absolutely deserves 5 stars.

Parking: Lots of stalls available for parking“

“The place is nice and clean with really kind waiters and waitresses. the food is amazing and has a very nice veriaty of sushi, sashimi, and apparisers and sides. I would definitely recommend the ramen and takoyaki. would recommend to any one who likes sushi“

“Célebre mi Cumpleaños 🎂 todo espectacular, solo quería comprar Mole en la tienda y estaba cerrada temprano o se fueron a comer por unas horas fue raro eso.“

“If your looking for a juice bar better than any other juice bar,this is it.The absolute sweetest,smart,and family minded with the only intention of making you feel better than when you arrived,location.

GO ANGELS“

“Great Pizza and great people. Do not pass on the Mr. Hand, it is epic! Stoney’s is the best pizza around.“

“So good!!! A must when in Orange County!“

“Bright, airy restaurant that is larger inside than appears from outside. Plenty of parking in the shopping center lot, although you may have to walk a bit when all of the eating places are crowded. Typical SoCal ordering set-up with menu board above the order station. Make your choices, pay, find a table, and wait for your order. You can get your self-serve drink and condiments while you're waiting. Service is generally good with some enthusiastic staff. Food is very good. We shared a chicken schwarma plate with hummus and pita. We added on sides of another hummus and pita. Note that hummus and pita count as 2 sides here. The hummus was good and generous. The pita was grilled and was that lovely fluffy Greek style pita. The schwarma was tender, tasty, juicy, and covered in drippings. I wasn't into spicy, so I got the OG garlic sauce. Deliciously subtle. Prices are reasonable for these days. I noticed another store closer to where we live. Good to know.“

“Delicious turkish kebap (kabob), döner, lahmacun, meze plates, and desserts! And the most important dish of all, iskender kebap ("Alexander kebab" )! My favorite! 😛 Just be careful about the pepper 🌶️ that comes with the iskender... it's spicy 🔥

The sitting area is small but comfortable and they also have some outdoor seating.“

“Situated on a busy popular street , parking can be a bit of challenge. Restaurant has a nice ambience and service was good too.

We got the Margarita pizza (good flavor but they ignored our request of making it well done and this one came out very soggy) , chicken entree (v good) , spicy margarita (Smokey and v well made) and bread pudding (very good !)

Overall , we had a good meal and had it not been for a soggy wet pizza base , I would have definitely given this 5 stars .“

“Tay Binh has quickly become my favorite Vietnamese food spot! Their grilled meats are absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. But the real star of the show is their crispy roasted pork—it’s hands down the best I’ve ever had. The skin is perfectly crisp, and the meat is tender and juicy. If you’re looking for authentic and mouth-watering Vietnamese cuisine, Tay Binh is the place to go!“

“A Gem ! This place is just awesome. sandwiches are amazing. 4 Diamond 💎 services. May God continue to Bless Wanda and her entire staff. Stop by and order any sandwiche they are a masterpiece.“

“I love Padthai and Chicken satay which reminds me of Thailand. You guys need to try! I also like stirred fried eggplant with fried tofu. It kinda Chinese food. It’s very nice as well.“

“With over 1k points, I’d say I love the flavor of the chicken teriyaki plate aswell as the chicken teriyaki burger. The yellow peppers and sauce are a great addition to their menu, the menu is quite large and can be overwhelming; however, stick to the specialties and you’ll never be let down. It’s family owned and they’re great people to talk to. I used to come here days at a time throughout the week and the taste never failed.Continue to be great food for the people guys! Love to come here and hope you can stay in business for generations to come!“

“Amazing place for music and food. Staff is great, the extra garlic and pepperoni pizza is 🔥. For the money im going to say we paid 50-100, we drank alot lol.

Parking: Go on a night when they have a good Reggae band playing.“

“Everything very tasty, especially Noble Club“

“Wish I had taken photos. This is in the top 3 of Thai restaurants I have ever eaten. The service was excellent and the food was fresh and delicious. The flavors were perfect. Would go back!“
