“"Thai District is a culinary gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with authentic Thai flavors that transported us to Thailand. Scott, our server, went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. Not only did he provide impeccable service, but he also shared interesting tidbits about the area, like the length of the actual “Long Beach” in Long Beach, adding a delightful personal touch to our evening. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. Five stars all around for Thai District!"”
“It's not a cheap date, but it's a nice one. Skip the famous Caesar salad that's not even an Italian thing. Wines are great, the pastas are good. Loud acoustics, high energy, tons of staff. Only one asked us if we wanted another glass of wine. It is a different setup, counter service and table service combo. Ordered and paid and tipped before we were even sat. Wine bar gave you tastings of any wines you wanted to try so that adds a lot to the experience.”
“Everything was amazing. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere! I have been for a private party, and now a murder mystery and they were both the time of our lives! We can’t wait to come back. The bartender, Ricardo makes the most delicious drinks. Meredith is the most amazing host and everything went so smoothly because of her! Love this place!”
“We had a 40th college reunion there. The ambience was perfect, food was great and the staff were wonderful! Everyone had a great time!”

“To John Hansen, My wife and I would like to thank you for such a lovely evening. Chez Bacchus represents the “True Expression of a Dining Experience”. Starting with the welcoming staff at the entrance. John, your hospitality is the beginning of the joyful experience. The restaurant is so elegant. We enjoyed the vaulted ceilings with wood beams. We enjoyed the large window at the kitchen area so you can see the Chefs at work. We got to sit next to the impressive wine rack display. The restaurant’s ambiance wouldn’t be complete without the soft background music. Our waiter, Issac, was a delight. He provided us with his expertise in choosing our wines, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It was a pleasure to meet to give special thanks to the Chef, Danny Le and Su Chef, Donald. Their expertise is why we had an amazing and delicious dinner.”
“One of the best restaurants in Long Beach for Peruvian, style, seafood, ceviche, and Sushi. Family owned and operated with a friendly vibe and amazing service.”
““Excellent Turkish restaurant with authentic flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. The kebabs were perfectly cooked, the bread was fresh, and the mezze selection was delicious. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Portions were generous and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great Turkish cuisine. Looking forward to coming back!””

“Unique and quaint. Don't let the name of the establishment fool you. Choices of teas, sandwiches, and deserts made my Mother's day special. I would recommend it.”
“Great beer. Great CS. BUT, beer menu is not what is offered on the actual current beer menu. Also, food menu is not up to date. Asked for 2 burgers and had to settle for one i didnt want. Please. Just update to current day menus. Thank you”
“Husband and I went there last night during Haunt Hopping in Santa Ana -- and WOW!! Absolutely delicious, filling burgers and crispiest, hottest fries! Very friendly service. Hoping they open some locations near us, but until then, we'll make special trips -- they're that good!”
“Great service. Decor was chic. Service on point, not rushed. Great place for a date.”
“Great authentic Cambodian food, and one of the best service I’ve received by the waitress compared to anywhere else I’ve been to in Long Beach .”

“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.”

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

“El fin de semana celebramos la quinceañera de mi hija en Rivera's Restaurant y todo estuvo excelente. Desde el primer acercamiento George siempre fue muy amable y comprensivo con lo que esperábamos para nuestra fiesta. La decoración y sobre todo la comida y atención a nuestros invitados fue excelente. Estamos convencidos que volveriamos a tener otro evento con ellos.”

But definitely in the Centennial area. Great Staff too. VERY FRIENDLY. ❤️”
“I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting the food to be this exceptional. And that is because sometimes chain establishments are not great. However, Camille suggested a couple of dishes for us and they did not disappoint and in fact I would’ve licked the plates if it was publicly appropriate. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy and short rib hash!!!!! Omg so delicious!! I can’t wait to come back for more!!!”

“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.”
“Lunch (Brunch) Saturday June 8 Been reading many glowing reviews ..R they deserved ? If all dishes as flavorful as the Lamb” Secco” Then YES Not cheap , but If I am spending $40-50 person ,the food had Better taste like this. Also good: basic Margherita Pizza. Beer list is thoughtful. Wife REALLY enjoyed her Anderson Valley Rose wine with the Lamb dish Bottom line: this cafe is worth supporting. Thanks for setting up shop in Coastal Long Beach- Naples”
“Had the best dinner Friday night. The food was amazing and fresh. They grow their own vegetables, The service was friendly and informative. The atmosphere was great. Highly recommend for a night out. Get the food sampler for 2. Worth the price. Can’t wait to try brunch.”
“My husband and I stopped here on our way home (we live in the I.E.). I was in the mood for authentic Mediterranean food. First of all, this place is so cute! Its super pretty, and its located in a shopping center. Plenty of parking.
Our server was so amazing. Super friendly and attentive. I ordered the chicken kebab with a side of the Mediterranean salad and baba ganoush. It also comes with a side of the garlic sauce. I usually don't like the garlic sauce, but this one was so GOOD. It was like crack. I had it all over my chicken, my pita bread. I even took some of it home.
The price is great and we couldn't even finish all of our food. But that could be from the Glp-1 I'm on. 🤷🏽♀”
“They have a revolving cocktail list that is fun to read through and they are all really tasty. Baby G is a great place to stop in and try something you've never had before.”

“On wednesday, I went to this Subway. I was really hungry, and my mood had been terrible since morning- I had fought with everyone. When I got there, I met Mr. Ravi, an Indian guy. When I asked him for an extra scoop of tuna, he told me it would cost extra, and I got annoyed because it looked too little. I was already angry, but he handled the situation so calmly and respectfully that he actually made me laugh in the end. His service was so good that it genuinely made me want to leave a review, because he was completely right from his side. I truly salute that kind of customer service.”
“I had a great experience at Denny’s! The food was really delicious, fresh, and well-prepared. Everything came out just right, and the flavors were on point.
The service was excellent, and our waiter, Fernando, was very kind, friendly, and helpful. He made sure we had everything we needed and made the experience even better.
I’d definitely come back again. Highly recommend!”
“I came in with my kids, and Nermin helped us. She was incredibly kind and patient, especially while my kids were being fussy. She made us feel so welcome and handled our order perfectly, even my son’s very picky, customized order!
It’s so refreshing to meet someone in the food industry who is genuinely kind, helpful, and makes you feel valued as a customer. Because of Nermin, we’ll definitely be returning to this location. Thank you for making our lunch such a wonderful experience!”
“Charisma provided outstanding customer service from the moment I walked in. She was friendly, professional, and made my sandwich exactly how I wanted it. Everything was fresh, she worked quickly, and the restaurant was clean. She made the experience enjoyable, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“While their tacos aren't as large as tacos bell, at least they don't break in half as soon as you remove them from the wrapper. I always get the Del Taco Special on Tuesdays and ask for the cheese to be next to the meat. I've been there so many times they've began to recognize my voice and order, lol”
“Very polite and friendly people work here. They were extremely helpful and got my food out to me quickly. The atmosphere in here is very relaxing and the restaurant is super clean. I would recommend this location to anyone. If I could give more than 5 Stars I would. Thank you all for such great service! I'll definitely be back.”
“The carnitas burrito was amazing, that's my go to, and haven't had a decent one in a long time. Meat was tender, flavor was excellent, I wanted to savor each bite, I am a critic when it comes to food , especially my favorite which is Mexican and carnitas, definitely did not disappoint. My daughter absolutely loves birria, I'll have to try it, we will order again! Thank you for great quality”
“This del Taco location is on pioneer boulevard and Artesia boulevard in Artesia in a Stater Brothers parking lot area it's a very nice del Taco We go there quite often because of the employees they are very nice and friendly We have good rapport with them We know each other and everybody knows each other by name it's a nice place I recommend going there The portions are good they don't skimp”
“We LOVE George’s for a quick lunch, nice dinner, or catering a party! They have been there for me for all my dining or party needs. They never disappoint. Both the food and the service is outstanding.”
“This place was so so great. The food was unexpectedly great. There were 7 of us and we all loved everything we got. I went for lunch during the week. We got a table right away. The woman taking my order at the counter was so sweet and helpful. She even customized one of their drinks for me. We had a really nice time and can’t wait to go back.”

“BREAKFAST BURRITO!!! O-M-G! Probably top 2 in Long Beach right now, and I love Breakfast Burritos. The res salsa they have adds the perfect touch of spice as well. Very well done overall. As far as the coffee goes, didn’t really stand out. It’s good, not great. A little above average, but nothing out of the ordinary. But that Burrito on the other hand. Yeah, go try it. Its amazing.”
“I visited Nonna Mercato for dinner and had a cozy and refined dining experience. The restaurant had a warm Italian-style atmosphere with a comfortable setting that felt inviting for a relaxed evening meal.
We ordered fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, salad, and sparkling drinks. The food arrived hot and beautifully presented. The pasta had rich flavor, the pizza crust was crisp and light, and everything tasted fresh and balanced. Portions felt satisfying without being overly heavy.
The service was attentive and professional. Orders were handled smoothly, and the pacing of the meal felt calm and well-managed.
Overall, Nonna Mercato is a great dinner spot if you want fresh Italian flavors, a cozy ambiance, and a polished casual dining experience.”
“I finally have a local, good, and cost effective place near my house. So far I’ve had their cheese burger and fish ceviche. The burger was big and juicy. The fries were great. The fish ceviche was spiced so if you don’t like spice like me, ask them to put the vinaigrette on the side and add to your liking. But a good overall place that I recommend. They also do take out and call in for pick up. They do Door Dash and Grub hub too.”

“Even if not stopping on the way home, the charcoal aroma makes their asada of the best fills the street almost everyday providing comfort for us in the neighborhood. As many reviews mention the pastor, it is worth its weight in gold. I bounce back and forth getting each.
My only wish, alongside one review, is that they were on the spicier side... Definitely doesnt diminish the pure excellence of this place though and they're of the best. I'll be back soon and thank you for being in the neighborhood.”

“This was my first time trying Cambodian food. Everything we ordered was good, but I noticed that most of the dishes tasted sweet. The papaya salad, noodles, and prahok kite all had a sweeter flavor. Is this how Cambodian dishes are usually prepared, or did the restaurant adjust the flavors to cater to American tastes?
The restaurant is clean, and the staff are friendly. Overall, we had a good experience.”
“My roommate decided to try the coffee after hearing about it through a friend in CA (we are in RI). My roommate says it is by far one of the best coffees he has ever tasted. Very aromatic! Smooth and just, well, a must try! It was also ground well, packaging was great, delivery was on time. Website was easy to use. We'll be back for another shipment!”

“If you’re looking for a fun, vibrant spot to enjoy delicious Filipino food in Long Beach, Noypitz Bar and Grill is a must-visit! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for both casual hangouts and special occasions.
The menu here is top-notch—they’ve got all the Filipino classics you love, but with a modern twist. The sisig is a crowd favorite, sizzling hot and packed with flavor. Another must-try is their adobo—rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. But what really sets Noypitz apart is their signature cocktails and refreshing drinks that pair perfectly with their food. You have to try their Mango Mojito or a chilled San Miguel to really get the full experience!
What makes Noypitz even more special is the live band playing in the background. The music creates a lively vibe that keeps the energy up, while still allowing you to enjoy your meal and conversation. It’s the perfect combination of good food, great drinks, and amazing entertainment. The whole place has this laid-back, yet trendy feel—ideal for hanging out with friends, family, or even on a date night.
The service is impeccable too. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always on top of things, making sure you're well taken care of throughout your visit. It's clear that everyone here takes pride in making sure you have a great experience.
Overall, Noypitz is one of the best spots in Long Beach for a mix of great Filipino food, drinks, and live music. Highly recommend it if you’re in the area—you won’t be disappointed!”

“This place feels like having a home made meal at someone’s house (it’s family run, you will see their kids in the restaurant and it’s so cute!) I have so much respect and love for what they’re doing. Prices are such a great deal for what you get nowadays, I love their marinated beef sticks, papaya salad, and salt and pepper wings. I’m so happy that this place is in my neighborhood, go support!!”
“I absolutely Love Love LB Unified Bar & Lounge. If your looking for an amazing time with great music, great people, delicious food - a place to meet and network with entrepreneurs, business owners and the like- this is the place to be!!!

“I’ve driven over 4hrs in the past to get some amazing vegan sushi. This place is by far the most amazing delicious authentic place I’ve seen. The food & service is amazing! I definitely recommend this place in anyone in the area. The owner is one of the most hard working dedicated individuals I’ve met.
Cheers!”
“I discovered a new go-to coffee shop whenever I’m in town in the future here in LBC🤙🏼On my first visit, I was looking for a coffee shop that serves Affogato and the search led me here. It was a wise choice. I enjoyed the Affogato and tried the traditional Turkish coffee while I was there. WOW! That was so good! On our way out the owner and I had a short conversation about Philippines. He told me next time I come for Turkish coffee, I should also get baklava along with it. So this morning my baby sister and I went back. I did try the baklava along with the traditional Turkish coffee as suggested from my first visit. That was a good recommendation! I had baklavas on my visits in Greece and I would put up the baklava in this coffee shop with the baklavas of Greece. So very good! YUMM! Also, it has a great ambiance to enjoy sipping your coffee and munching on the sweet treats! Don’t think about it anymore! Just come on in and give this Coffee Station a try. I guarantee that you will love it.”
“Fun gay bar with karaoke, gogo boys, sports leagues on Sunday afternoons, and good cocktails. Some of the bartenders know how to make classic drinks like the “Sidecar”. A beautiful patio with blooming bougainvillea and orchids. The owner obviously puts a lot of love into this gay bar.”
“We came in for breakfast and enjoyed it very much! Skillet with eggs and French toast breakfast both outstanding! Generous portions, friendly staff. We also got breakfast sandwiches for pick up twice while staying in long beach for vacation. Croissant breakfast sandwich a must!”
“Best Turkish food that is easy flavorful consistent and never misses. I love this place”
“I love it here !!. They make the food with grace and love, the atmosphere is amazing with the touch of soulful music in the background, the service is highly appreciated thank you Ceasar and the rest of the crew for being so amazing. Best Carl's Jr in my book. Will be back soon.”
“Love love love the food , great dinner I fly out here just for this place”
“The food is good. I say good because you have heavy competition on the same block. The thing that makes this place different from others is their staff; they are great and friendly. I give it a 7.5/10.”
“One of the best restaurants in Long Beach for Peruvian, style, seafood, ceviche, and Sushi. Family owned and operated with a friendly vibe and amazing service.”
“Nick’s food and service doesn’t disappoint! Menu options are great, and they’ll take a classic comfort dish such as a meat loaf to a gourmet degree. Service is impecable too. Worth every dollar you spend here in every aspect! They have my respect and heart! ♥️”

“Michelin-Level Northern Thai Street Food! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Chiang Rai is a total gem in Long Beach! Don’t let the simple exterior fool you—the inside is vibrant and quirky, and the food is some of the most authentic Northern Thai cuisine I’ve ever had.
The Khao Soi is the absolute star of the show; the curry broth is rich and complex, topped with perfectly crispy noodles. I also highly recommend the Midnight Chicken and the Sai Oua (Northern Thai Sausage) for a real taste of Chiang Rai. Everything is fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor.
It can get busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but it is 100% worth it. If you’re looking for high-quality Thai food that goes way beyond the standard Pad Thai, this is the spot!”
“Great service and great food! My family loves this place!! 👍🏻”
“Everyone happy with meal. Large party next to us made it more noisy than usual, but still a great time. Service as always was excellent!! Happy Holidays”
“Had an amazing meal in a chic and cozy booth with spot-on decor, food presentation & atmosphere. Great margaritas!”
“Great beer. Great CS. BUT, beer menu is not what is offered on the actual current beer menu. Also, food menu is not up to date. Asked for 2 burgers and had to settle for one i didnt want. Please. Just update to current day menus. Thank you”
“This is an excellent restaurant in an attractive space with attentive service. For the quality, the price is more than fair.
The traditional ceviche with fish was fresh, complex, and came with multiple sauces. The empanadas were perfectly done, with the fish ones being a bit strong for our taste and the shrimp ones being really outstanding. We also had very rich, very filling Tacos Perrones whose fish was perfectly done. They serve fried tortillas instead of corn chips, which is both attractive and delicious. My only complaint would be that my margarita was kind of light on the alcohol.
Long Beach is lucky to have this place.”
“I just got back from going here with my daughter and I always recommend this spot to family and friends, I’ve been a fan of this place since I first went about four years ago.on a date. Such delicious food and unique options on the menu. I also like the atmosphere and the people that work there are always really friendly andcool people.”
“This is a busy restaurant and sometimes service is a bit slow. That being said the overall experience is great. Expect good food and great cocktails with very pleasant atmosphere and staff. We dine here a few times a month and really enjoy it.”
“Unbelievable experience! The entire time we felt like family and your can truly tell that the chef pours his heart and soul into his food. Tried the swordfish, pork chop, chicken and dumplings, and pasta… every dish was worthy of a Michelin star! Will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend Bar Becky!”
“It's nice and glad we came in jus before the crowded starts the food looks soaking the style when it nice and it does came out as directed out of the book nice to go and it's good.”
“Michael M was one of the best bar tenders ever! Made us feel like valued customers, we sat on patio he was very attentive to ensure we had all we needed checking on us often & made great recommendations! A very kind staff member! Thank you so much!”
“10/10!! walked up to try to catch the mexico game .. they squeezed us in . pretty sure the owner ( chefs jacket ) . Wendy patricia and the owner and staff were so dam nice and food vibes were ah mazing !!!!!!!!! for as crowded as it was good came out fast and drinks .. it was great!”
“The brisket was amazing! When I get brisket at other places it's dry and not flavorful. Here, it was perfection. The Mac n cheese, beans, and potato salad were all delicious. You can really tell that they put a lot of thought into their recipes, and you can taste the quality. My only ask is that they add baby back ribs to their menu!”
“Have eaten here about 10 times . This restaurant doesn’t disappoint. I’ve tried all there’s sushi roll which are always fresh and delicious.”
“Great family experience for our huge group. They accommodated us in our own private room so we could visit without interrupting the rest of the diners.”
“We sat on nicely warmed outdoor patio watching the fun street scene pass us by. Creative options on the menu made it hard to choose. Exellent, beautifully presented wedge salad, seafood chowder and salmon were the winners. In the seafood chowder, at $18, we didn't expect a lot of seafood. It was more of a mushroom cream soup with delicious bread and some fish, which suited us fine. The salmon with couscous was perfectly prepared and a generous portion. The salad was also generous sized and creative. Service was excellent and non-intrusive. We parked right in front, free meter after 6 or 7pm. Fun to walk the area afterwards, see all the new places and Chapter II coffee which is open late and apparently turns into an alternative non-bar bar type scene with low lights and louder music. All in all, second street makes for a great date night.”
“Always have a great meal at Simmzy’s. I had cauliflower tacos and they were excellent (and I’m not a vegetarian). Sweet potato fries were great. I’m the past I’ve had the chicken tortilla soup- it’s one of the best! Pet and child friendly.”
“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”
“Great tasting food. Generous portions. Reasonable prices.
Friendly service. Please build a restaurant in Richmond, IN !!!
(We have more than enough burger joints.)”
“Tarantella on 4th in Long Beach is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, it feels less like a restaurant and more like stepping into a vibrant art gallery—every corner is full of personality and creative energy. The food is on another level—freshly made daily, and you can truly taste the difference in every bite. It’s the kind of place where quality and care shine through in every dish. If you're looking to unwind, the outdoor patio is a hidden oasis—intimate, relaxing, and perfect for enjoying a great meal with friends or family. Owners Carlos & Megan have created something really special here: a warm, family-friendly spot with amazing food and genuinely excellent service that makes you feel right at home. Yes, parking in the area can be a bit of a challenge—but trust me, it’s absolutely worth the effort. Tarantula on 4th is one of those places you’ll keep coming back to!those places you’ll keep coming back to!”
“My experience last night at District Wine was outstanding! The staff and owner were personable and down-to-earth. It was late afternoon after a long conference day, so I ordered a flight of 4 tapas and a glass of wine. I based my final choices on their recommendations and was super happy with everything. The tapas were terrific. Lots of balanced and interesting flavors. The portions were decent - basically high-quality small bites (as one would expect with tapas). The overall atmosphere is relaxed - really nice decor but not at all stuffy. I would come here weekly if I lived in the area!”
“Kihon is the BEST sushi restaurant in Long Beach hands down. Go enjoy the tastiest food and you can thank me later! 😀”
“We ordered this takeout. I must say, even with a 15 minute drive home, the food was delicious. The food was very, very tasty and cooked to perfection. It was a little pricey but worth it.”
“I got the Smoking Song Sandwich with Mac & Cheese & it was delicious! I waited 30 more minutes to then order a $5 beer for the FIFA special. $5 fries & $5 beers during World Cup matches!
I had my Pomeranian with me so we enjoyed the nice spacious patio and still got a view of the TVs inside :) Employees are great! I’m looking forward to coming back to try more of their menu & trying their FIFA fries special 😋”

A bit pricey but well worth it.”
“Ate lunch Mother’s Day so understandably was a busy day. We made a reservation and they sat us quickly. Brought us water timely. We ordered drinks, appetiser
and our lunch. Although we had some mishaps with getting our food timely and sending one meal back, everyone took very good care of us and treated us well. The food was great. The Rib Eye was huge.(not pictured) Desserts were fabulous. We will definitely be eating here again.”
“amazing food and service! My husband and I used to live nearby and always came when it was Tai Silk. We now live in San Pedro but we'll be back for sure.”
“Great experience at Aikan Sushi House in Long Beach! The sushi was fresh, delicious, and the service was excellent. Jessica was amazing—friendly, attentive, and made our meal even better. We'll definitely be back!”
“Tried this place for their lunch special the other day with a friend and we were blown away at how good it was. Standard dishes like Pad See Ew and Pad Thai were next level compared to other Thai places in taste and freshness. So if the easy dishes are that good - rest of the food must be incredible. Will definitely be coming here frequently!”
“Fresh, delicious. Some of the best brown butter & sage sauce I’ve had in a while.”
“Monday, June 1, 2026 - You probably don’t really know this about me 🤣😂 so let me tell you… I absolutely love Thai food 🍜🌶️❤️ I’ve eaten at many Thai restaurants over the years, and while I’ve found a few favorites around Orange County, Long Beach Thai Restaurant was truly an unexpected treasure find ✨
Tucked away in a little strip mall on E Anaheim Blvd., this cozy and super clean spot completely surprised us 😊 We ordered the Rad Nah and asked for the flat rice noodles to be extra charred, just the way I love them 😄🔥 Along with that, we had shrimp Tom Kha Koong, spicy watercress chicken with chili oil, fried spring rolls, and Thai iced coffee 🥢☕🌶️ Everything was delicious, comforting, flavorful, and one of those meals where you keep saying, “just one more bite” 🤣😩😂
What made the experience even better was Kunlaya, aka Ein, the owner/server 🌹 She was warm, gracious, friendly, and so fun to chat with — never missing a beat 😊 You all know how I am… food somehow always tastes even better when the people serving it are kind-hearted, welcoming, and top notch ❤️
Of course, this is just based on my own experience and personal taste… and I’ll admit, I’m pretty particular when it comes to food 🤣😂 So when I say I enjoyed it, that really means something coming from me 😊🍜✨
Definitely one of those hidden gems I’d happily drive back for again”
“Very pleasant experience here! From the friendly accommodating staff, to the very delicious well prepared fish, it was a treat!! Best fish I’ve ever had! I look forward to coming back! 5⭐️”
“Tantalum is one of our favorite restaurants in Long Beach. The ambiance is fantastic, with a beautiful waterfront setting and a great atmosphere whether you’re there for brunch, dinner, or drinks. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Weekends can get very busy, but if you make a reservation, getting seated is usually quick and easy. The food selection offers something for everyone, and we’ve consistently enjoyed our meals. Between the excellent service, great menu, and amazing atmosphere, Tantalum is a wonderful place to dine and one that we highly recommend.”
“Today was our first time here...and OMGosh...it did not disappoint! Friends & family have recommended Los Compadres and finally got to try this place! Food was sooo DELICIOUS, friendly atmosphere, customer service was EXCELLENT! We definitely will be going back...we cant wait to try other food on the menu...totally recommend it!”
“Great restaurant and food. Will be a great addition to the Valley!”
“Plenty of seating space. We always get deep fried halibut and French fries. Great combo.”
“Jassy’s Sweets & Eats was recommended to us by our friends and neighbors, and we are so happy they did! I was able to use Jassy’s Sweets for my partner’s surprise 40th birthday casino-themed dessert table and everything was a hit. I ordered the red velvet shooters, vanilla cupcakes, and the assortment of a dozen cookies-chocolate chip, chocolate chip pecan, and double chocolate chip. Everything was gone before the party was over! Cimone was the most professional, kind, and responsive vendor, and delivery was a breeze. We can’t wait to order from her again!”

“THIS PLACE IS AMAZING in the best possible way. Today I went for lunch with my 90 year old mother, my wife, and our two teenagers - a pretty diverse group, and not real easy to please. Everybody was extremely happy with what they ordered - the only complaint was from my wife, saying afterwards that she had "eaten too much" but couldn't stop because it was so delicious! She had the "heart stopper" burger, which includes bacon and a fried egg. My son and I often split two plates so we can try more things, and the pastrami sandwich and Frisco burger were both GREAT. I should have ordered the Pastrami on grilled rye - personal preference - but the roll it was served on was still very fresh. My daughter ordered the pastrami as well, and she loved hers. Grandma got the Reuben, and is looking forward to finishing it for dinner (huge sandwich for an old lady). We also tried the fried zucchini - best I've had in many years. Great fries and onion rings as well. I think that this may have just become our new family joint for a quick bite. My only regret is that I didn't find it earlier...... I spoke briefly with the manager, and he was really nice - working hard, because of the lunch rush, but was clearly committed to providing great food and great service.”
“YUMMYLICIOUS! You want a good beefy burger, perfectly season and portioned properly.. Dude, stop by and get a real FATTY Burger and the varieties are spectacular. You mouth buds and tummy will sing a happy song. Just orders the Peyton and I am salivating already. ENJOY!”

“To John Hansen, My wife and I would like to thank you for such a lovely evening. Chez Bacchus represents the “True Expression of a Dining Experience”. Starting with the welcoming staff at the entrance. John, your hospitality is the beginning of the joyful experience. The restaurant is so elegant. We enjoyed the vaulted ceilings with wood beams. We enjoyed the large window at the kitchen area so you can see the Chefs at work. We got to sit next to the impressive wine rack display. The restaurant’s ambiance wouldn’t be complete without the soft background music. Our waiter, Issac, was a delight. He provided us with his expertise in choosing our wines, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It was a pleasure to meet to give special thanks to the Chef, Danny Le and Su Chef, Donald. Their expertise is why we had an amazing and delicious dinner.”

“I have heard of SPFM before and wanted to go. We tried to go before our cruise, but it was closing. Made it a point to go as soon as we got off the cruise, we'll after the USS Iowa tour and was blown away!! Very good!!! The staff are all friendly and the food was amazing!! But be careful, the shrimp plate is not for the light eater. I am fully stuffed! Highly Recommend!! Thank You SPFM!”
“Celebrated our anniversaries (wedding and car show) this weekend at Ruth’s Chris. Our server Lucy was nothing short of amazing. The food and service were perfect in every way. Thank you to the staff for all the amazing work you do to put a great smile and amazing memory for all your visitors. To the management team, your staff’s commitment to professionalism is attest to how well you manage.”
“Friendly waitress all tho the place was pack our waitress came back to check from time to time to see if we need it anything that's a 👍🏻. Once our food arrives she was a lot of help because other dishes were missing and taking longer to come out, but we where still being look out making sure they got out food right.Thanks it was a really nice first time visiting the place and having a good attention it really made our group of family welcome and enjoyable.”
“It was a really great happy hour experience! Though next time I think I'll avoid going when there's a large sports event going on. It was so loud my friend and I had to yell at eachother the whole time. But if you're into sports I assume it would be a fantastic environment!”
“I can definitely say my first impression was not a good one. Our original waitress came to our table without greeting us or introducing herself. She immediately asked for our drink order, never told us her name, and then left us waiting without much communication. We also had two kids with us, but no one mentioned that there was a kids' menu. At that point, I was honestly ready to walk out.
Thankfully, the experience completely turned around thanks to the manager, Bobby, and our new server, Julian. They both provided outstanding customer service, made us feel welcome, and completely changed the atmosphere of our visit. Their professionalism and attentiveness made all the difference.
Because of Bobby and Julian, we'll definitely be back. Thank you both for turning what started as a disappointing experience into a great one.”
“I've patronized this business on many occasions. My experiences have been mostly positive. The food is good, however I do have high standards when comes to the food that I choose to consume. That's why prepare my own meals way more than I eat out. Anyway, I recently had lunch there on 5/31/26 and I had a minor incident with my cocktail. I found a piece of plastic in it which was believed to come from one of the garnish skewers that they used to decorate the cocktails. It was unfortunate because I was enjoying my meal and cocktail. My server Cynthia was great, her service was more than adequate. When I bought it to her attention she immediately called the manager over. The manager Bryce was very apologetic and professional. As far as I'm concerned, he couldn't have handled the situation any better. Although I didn't request or demand that my cocktail be comped, he immediately went to the bar himself and returned with a fresh cocktail for and offered to remove from my bill. I gratefully accepted his offer and finished enjoying my meal. Everyone makes mistakes, however how you make it right is what's important. Tequila Jacks was represented well by Bryce and Cynthia in that situation. They are to be commended. Thank you both.

“Recently discovered Dave’s, especially the Hot Mozz’s thanks to instagram and all of the people showing themselves eating Mozz from Dave’s Hot Chicken. Dave’s did not disappoint, the Mozz were amazing and service at the Long Beach Circle Dave’s was great. I have to point out that Lizzy who took my order is an absolute angel, very professional and so accommodating. I’ve been there wove and she has provided the best service. Keep up the great work 🥰”
“1000% will be back! I was at the laundromat next door and ran over for a quick lunch while my clothes were in the dryer. The service was impeccable and quick, food was delicious, and portions were spot on. I had the breakfast bowl and an order of mini pancakes and will have enough for a second meal. You can tell it’s all made by hand and with love, fresh and hot. The restaurant was also clean and comfortable with plenty of street parking nearby. There is a laundromat next door too - so you could give yourself a little treat while your clothes are in the dryer.”

“We had a great time at Jug Band! We drove up to see Kepi Ghoulie play and the space was very inviting. The staff was very nice and seemed really to enjoy themselves. We started out with lavender ice lattes and they were very good. The space was perfect and was able to fill up with people excited to listen to music. It seemed more like a private party where everyone was simply happy to be there. As the show winded down we took a pepperoni pizza to go. With the love and care put into everything else we knew the pizza was going to be good, but honestly we were absolutely blown away by how delicious the pizza was. The overall taste was great, but the dough itself is what really made this pizza stand out as top tier. It was light and airy, but crisp underneath. The flavor was amazing. My wife, daughters, and myself had a great time and will come by for more coffee, pizza, and good energy. Thanks Jug Band!”
“The ribeye sandwich is my favorite but the salad I’ve been trying to cut down on my weight for the summer by eating a lot of salads they have the Greek salad the chicken salad seafood salad. Oh my God they’re all amazing. The food is amazing. I come here it’s a little small cuisine here in Long Beach on Long Beach Boulevard but you can’t go wrong coming to this place. The food is fresh. It’s clean the facilities clean it’s nice if you haven’t tried it try it at least try it once I guarantee you you’ll be a regular customer.”
“Unbelievable experience! The entire time we felt like family and your can truly tell that the chef pours his heart and soul into his food. Tried the swordfish, pork chop, chicken and dumplings, and pasta… every dish was worthy of a Michelin star! Will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend Bar Becky!”
“Friendly service, amazing baked goods! I was excited to bring my daughter (a vegan), but I had no idea how much I (an omnivore) would love these pastries! I'm not a big baked goods person, but OMG, everything we ordered was delicious!!! We got an Ube ensaymada, a pandan cinny bun, a crinkle cookie, and a pinapig salted chocolate chip cookie -- every one of our choices was incredible!!!
We are looking forward to trying more things on our next visit!! We're also excited to try some savory items.”
“The brisket was amazing! When I get brisket at other places it's dry and not flavorful. Here, it was perfection. The Mac n cheese, beans, and potato salad were all delicious. You can really tell that they put a lot of thought into their recipes, and you can taste the quality. My only ask is that they add baby back ribs to their menu!”
“I can’t even begin to explain how delicious the food is here! Every taco has a different flavor profile, and each one is like a work of art—unique to itself and full of flavor! You have to try them all to find your favorite. Mine is the shrimp! The combination of ingredients in their salads are also so perfectly balanced, I don’t think I’ve had a better and more filling salad anywhere! I highly recommend the beet salad. Their grilled veggies are also so simple yet delicious! I like sitting outside at the bar to eat, but inside is also cute and cozy. The ultimate bonus: the owners are the sweetest couple!”

“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.”
