41 Best Salad Restaurants 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.“

“This every table is a lifesaver. I work long hours running my business, so it is hard to eat well when you’re away from home for hours that hours at a time. But since I found every table right down the street for me, I know that I can always run in and get a nutritional meal that’s tasty and made from scratch.“

“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. :)“

“Fun, tasty, fast, and reasonably priced.“

“This Vietnamese spot quietly sits inside a bland strip mall but surprises in every bite. The pho was rich and fragrant, and their pho‑French‑dip banh mi served on Persian bread was unforgettable. I appreciated how inventive yet respectful their flavor combinations stayed. Seating is minimal, but the staff are attentive and efficient. It’s precisely the sort of hidden gem locals appreciate—not glossy, just excellent food“

“Simply Salad never disappoints—so many fresh choices, always delicious, and you can’t beat the price!“

“I've had their chicken and waffles, and it was delicious!!!! Today i tried the loaded breakfast burrito and it was also delicious, I will order double protein. One of the staff members let me know they were remaking my burrito because they forgot to put avocado on it which was really kind of them, and also offered me a beverage on the house while I waited which was really kind and appreciated. I ate the burrito while omw to workout and it was delicious! My price was high because I got all the protein and avocado. Otherwise it would have been $18+tax and tip“

“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!“

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

“food is good but customer service is pretty bad. went here for the first time and did not feel welcomed and worker seemed annoyed i was a little confused on how to order, but i brushed it off. now coming in again hoping for a better experience as i loved my bowl, was met with the same unwelcoming and annoyed vibe. same worker then a literal minute later was laughing in the back with their coworker and slapped one with a glove to then touch the next persons food with that same glove (i saw :/). tbh as im typing this will not be coming back to this location :/

Edit: so I came back(😭) to pickup an online order for my brother and I and I wanted to add something in person, I didn’t feel like chatting in person to make a bowl because of last time, pretty PIT with gorgeous piercings offered a drink + my extra item for free which I thought was super sweet if I changed my review :) felt a lot better coming here after the last interaction lol, thank you again pretty lady for the extras I’m sorry I don’t remember your name to give you credit :(“

“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!“

“Everything very tasty, especially Noble Club“

“From appetizers to pizza to pasta, you can't go wrong! We went with another couple and shared the gnocco fritto (which was a hit), meatballs, two pizzas (Diavola with burrata and Caserta), the tagliatelle verdi al pesto, and fritelle di Frankie. Everybody loved the food. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“best pizza! great in-house bread“

“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.“

“Beach Hut Deli is a gem! My husband and I stopped by and were blown away by the food and service. I had the Beach BBQ, which was packed with meat, fixins’, and flavor, and my husband loved his Sipcolli. We also shared the Beach Bites, which were a tasty addition. Be warned, we were unable to finish the Bites because our sandwiches were so loaded.

The customer service elevated the experience. My husband originally ordered the Beach Meatball, but they were running low on meatballs. Instead of disappointing us, they upgraded his sandwich to the Sipcolli at no extra charge.
The staff was friendly, the place was spotless, and the vibe was welcoming.
We’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“I am now “Locked In “ with MOD pizza… how can anyone go back to the norm pizza joints after experiencing the freshest, tastier pizza in my opinion for a franchise type pizza joint.

“Margarita pizza and pepperoni kids 🍕“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Gem for Affordable, Delicious Breakfast!

If you’re looking for a breakfast spot that’s both affordable and satisfying, Everytable is the place to be. What I love most is how they’ve created a menu that feels homemade, fresh, and healthy without the high price tag you’d normally expect.

The portions are generous, the flavors are spot-on, and the presentation makes you feel like you’re dining at a much fancier spot. Their breakfast bowls and wraps are perfect for a quick grab-and-go start to the day, but you can also sit and enjoy in a clean, welcoming environment.

The best part? The prices are unbeatable. You can get a wholesome breakfast here for the cost of a coffee elsewhere. It’s clear that Everytable isn’t just about serving food—it’s about making good meals accessible to everyone.

Friendly staff, fast service, and food that fuels you right. Honestly, I wish more places followed this model.

MONICA'S BREAKFAST BURRITO 💯 DELICIOUS! 😋

👉 Highly recommend Everytable to anyone who wants a budget-friendly, tasty, and healthy breakfast option.“

“Everytable at Kilroy in Long Beach is basically the Cadillac of workspace cafeterias—if you’re going to be stuck on calls all day or powering through laptop life, this is the place you want to be. The vibe is modern corporate chic, but not sterile—high ceilings, lots of natural light, sleek wood tones, and enough space between tables that you’re not forced into an accidental team meeting with the stranger next to you.

Food-wise, it’s solid and consistent. This isn’t Michelin-star dining, but it’s not trying to be. The menu rotates, the ingredients are fresh, and there’s a real effort to accommodate different dietary preferences without making it feel like an afterthought. You’ll find wraps, bowls, salads, and even comfort food with some ambition.

The staff are friendly, efficient, and keep things running smoothly without hovering. It never feels rushed, but it also never drags—which is exactly what you want in a professional setting. And while most buildings of this caliber would offer a sad little snack bar or some vending machine afterthought, Everytable is a true amenity. A place that makes you feel like you’re getting your money’s worth just for showing up to work. Five stars for being the best version of what it is.“

“la comida meditereanea esta deliciosa y el sevicio es rapido y amable. me encanto!“

“Food is great, not a wow factor, i wish they could serve it faster. I dislike the fact of CASH ONLY for a traveler like me, also the flies in restaurant are really annoying. Maybe the restaurant should do something to prevent flies as it does look unhygienic.“

“3801 Lakewood Blv. Ste101
Store #98 I have been going to this location for a long time. I so appreciate the entire staff. All of the employees maintain excellent customer service skills. They are all welcoming, Adriel always makes sure I'm taken care of. The Managers are professional and knowledgeable. And I love the music. THANK YOU HABIT FOR THE VEGGIE BURGER AND A TEAM OF WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT MAKES THE CUSTOMER FEEL WELCOME AND SPECIAL.“

“So I have been coming here for a long time, being in the customer service field for a very long time I must say how amazing Manny was when taking my order. On 8/22/23 approximately 6:29:17 PM I went to the front to order and Manny greeted me with a great smile and so welcoming. I'm aware there is a new owner taking over the store. Sir, I want you to know how grateful I am to be not only respected but greeted in such a Profesional manner. To be quite frank with you not everyone there has a happy welcoming demeanor, but Manny exceeded that but then again I can see why.. i read on his tag that he is a "team leader" well done boss for his promotion I'm sure it was well earned. Note that employees like him will succeed in life and more so make your store be #1 because of how amazing he treats your customers. I wanna say "thank you Manny for your kindness and that smile"“

“Hiro is often there when we drop by in the evenings. Very thorough, she checks on us regularly for refills on waters or if we need anything else. The appetizers there are always really big and generous. We love it. I have taken so many friends to eat dinner there who've missed this restaurant. Tons of parking is available on the back. They're right next to Hof's hut.“

“I love the diablito and the service is awesome and quick!“

“Unexpected Keto-friendly spot! They have a handful of Keto/low carb items on their menu. They do the keto sandwiches on keto buns and bread. I got the Keto-friendly Grilled Cheese Burger. (Burger in between a grilled cheese sandwich.) And I got tots (yep!) and they have sugar-free bbq sauce. Everything was really delicious, and my friends like the non Keto stuff they ordered. Will be going back.“
