“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.“

“terrific food. very flavorful and healthy.“

“The rumors are true you gotta finish the pizza within like 10 minutes of it coming out of the oven or the crust gets a tad bit too chewy for people without superhuman jaw muscles. But within that golden window everything about the pizza is divine. My goto is the d fresh“

“Had the best tortilla soup ever! And Chef Steven Lutz circulating through the restaurant to say hi and assure everyone having great food and service was a treat. Don’t miss the baked goods like banana cream pie. Amazing! Very pleased and will be back again!“

“Good quality food. Healthy options. Great service. My favorite is the braised beef and mushroom with mashed potatoes. The mango tart is amazing.“

“Fantastic meal full of nutrients and energizes the body. The concept of Everytable is phenomenal. Everything is delicious.“

“Last week I was traveling through LA on my way to Santa Barbara. I had some time to kill so I looked up Poke. Came across this amazing place! I am admittedly new to Poke. The staff took good care of me and I wound up having such a hard decision. I think the spicy Poke might have been might absolute favorite. I can’t wait for my next trip to LA so I can stop there again!“

“Order the pho and wonton soup - both broths were flavorful and delicious. My Vietnamese girlfriend gave approval for authentic taste and quality.
Interior is well decorated and tastefully minimalistic. Service staff is so kind and attentive. Shoutout to Kian. 🙏🍜“

“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. :)“

“I ordered a medium pizza to-go, and it was so good — super tasty and full of flavor. I was in a rush because my bus was coming in about 10 minutes, but the chef made sure I got my order on time. The price was really affordable compared to other pizza places, and they added a generous amount of toppings too.“

“I got heated food from this mini store, I tasted, food flavor is good, I bought Jamaican chicken curry, paid less than $10. Overall I decide to give 5 star. By the way, this food is good for people who don't want big appetizer for the meal.“

“I have been ordering for one month. FOOD = FRESH and DELICIOUS
DELIVERY = PROMPT ONTIME and FRIENDLY DELIVERY to my job weekly.

I Love everything about my subscription, I feel better, lunch is always fresh tasty and worth every penny.

THANK YOU ALL AT THIS LOCATION for making my life easier and my eating lunch exciting.

Most economical choice for a weeks worth of lunches, breakfast’s and salads.“

“This little place has a big menu of Hawaiian foods. My boys always get the spam loco Moco. I like to get there poke With spicy, crunchy salmon And spicy crunchy tuna. Lots of flavor and they do have brown rice there which I really like . Go there on Tuesdays to Poke and more for poke is the best price of the week.
This place is just down the street from Ry’s poke who just opened up. I have been going there for a while and I definitely recommend it. They have lots of different flavors to choose from On their poke Menu and they will let you taste test any of them. I really like their Poké bowls here they’re really good.
But if you want super high-quality poke Go to Ry’s poke down the street It’s definitely top-notch and the premium is cut Just enough to fill a small container to serve probably about 10 people. Then they make it fresh again.
I recommend both places are both very good Ry’s will cost a little more But you’re Paying for freshly cut tuna and sometimes you might have to wait a while before you get your poke because it is freshly cut. But as well worth it!!!❤️😄👍“

“This was literally one of the best salads I’ve ever had. You’re going to become a regular in our rotation.“

“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.“

“It was about that time again 4 lunch and I was around the area of Gardena and I found this gem sups chicken OMG one of the best chicken sandwiches tender combos and drink I've seen in a while you definitely must come and support because 👁️ will be coming for their once a month breakfast sandwich 🥪🥪.....“

“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.“

“Great salad! Love the option to add your favorite veggies 🥗“

“Everything ; food; service“

“I love love love love Luna Grill. Service is excellent thank you Nadja very nice good atmosphere and the food is delicious very fresh and tasty.“

“I have gone into GOOP several times to get something to go. Rogelio has always been very friendly, helpful, and accommodating, and has gotten my order together quickly and efficiently. His warm spirit makes stopping off there a pleasure. Thank you, Rogelio!“

“Build your own gyro!! Yes please!!! Soft warm pita and all your favorite toppings! Lots of sauces to choose from as well!
The place is super clean and the staff is really knowledgeable and fast!
You know I love my gyros so I will definitely be back!!!“

“Love my Salad 💕💕It was the bomb 💣“

“This is a great concept for a takeout restaurant with prepared meals. I got the cilantro rice, spicy black beans, a buddha bowl with tofu, and honey spicy sweet potatoes for a great price. Some items were 25% off because they were going out of date the next day, but they lasted in my fridge, and still tasted fresh, for 3 days. They also have meat entrees, but I really appreciated their vegan options. The only reason I didn't give Everytable five stars is because they use more oil than I prefer. The food is yummy, but wish they'd use less oil, at least on the vegan dishes. And, the service was helpful, especially for my first time there. The location in Torrance has a small area with tables and chairs and they will heat up your food, if you prefer your meal warm.“

“Always Fresh & Delicious 😋“

“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!“

“just check your takeout meal is complete before you leave they forgot my pita bread huhu“

“Amazing spot!!! The salads are unique and tasty. Not like your traditional salads. They offer fun and healthy ingredients. I highly recommend the Barrenjoey Salad. So much flavor!!! They also have vegetarian options and they also serve poke.

Also, service was great and the kitchen is clean. You can actually see the kitchen through the window.“

“It was my first time at this location and at cava as well and I went around 10:50 am and there were 3 ladies at the front and they were so nice to me! Thank you for explaining and making me feel comfortable and explaining what the process was ! Thank u!“

“Amazing Experience! The Food is Delicious and Creative. The Margarita’s are just as unique and delicious, and the STAFF make you feel at home❣️🤗 Great Staff, Delicious Food & Great Drinks! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for your wonderful hospitality❣️“

“Love almost all of their dishes and buy here frequently, however, the Adobo Hot wing (expiration date 4/11 purchased/consumed 4/7) did not feel as fresh as their typical standard for the rest of their meal that I love so much! Especially the herb dipping sauce didn’t smell fresh. I absolutely was excited to see that they have wings tho but I will stay away from that particular dish & will continue to pick up their other great dishes!“

“Delicious food and friendly workers“

“If you haven’t been to Cava yet, let me save you the suspense. From the moment you walk in, the ingredients look fresh, and the entire team moves with purpose and professionalism. You can tell right away they take pride in what they do and that starts at the top with Stavo.

Stavo was so sweet, friendly, and overall amazing. I absolutely loved his personality! You can tell he genuinely cares about both the people he works with and every single guest who walks through the door.

Now let me talk about something that surprised me.

I have never tried their Mint Cucumber drink before because I simply do not like anything minty. Ever! Stavo suggested I give it a try. I asked him directly, “Is it minty?” He confidently told me it wasn’t overpowering and that it’s actually one of their top drinks. And let me just say he did not lie!!!!

The Mint Cucumber was divine. So refreshing. Light, crisp, and perfectly balanced. It wasn’t overwhelmingly minty at all just clean and cooling in the best way. Thank you for that suggestion, Stavo. You converted me!

And while we’re here, if you haven’t had their Pita Chips, you are absolutely missing out. They are the BEST. Perfectly crisp, lightly salted, and dangerously addictive. Make sure you get them when they’re fresh and come right out that’s when they’re at their peak. Trust me on this one.

The food is consistently amazing fresh greens, flavorful proteins, creamy hummus, vibrant toppings everything tastes thoughtfully prepared. But what truly makes this location stand out is the experience. The teamwork. The hospitality. The leadership.

Five stars simply don’t feel like enough. 👏🏾“

“Wow! I was very surprised and impressed by the quality and taste of this fish! I got the fisherman's basket and they sent out a trio of dipping sauces. Very tasty very yummy. The fish was cooked wonderfully the calamari tasted great. The crabcake was over the top! And the value was incredible. this place is definitely got a good restaurant strategy going. come try it. You won't be disappointed.“

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

“Old school sub, pasta, and pizza spot. Was very clean inside!

We tried the meatball sub, small and the super steak.

Meatball sub usually has cheese, onion, and bell pepper. I opted for no bell peppers. $7-8

The super steak has cheese, onions, mushrooms and bell pepper. $11-12

Both were so good!

There’s a lunch special small sub with chips and drink for $10!

Lots of seating, TV with the news playing.

Will def recommend and be back. I want to try pasta.“

“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.“

“We got grilled backyard BBQ sandwich and grilled chicken protein bowl. Both were delicious, freshly prepared and filling. We are frequent customers. Their restroom is clean and we like to dine in. The owner is friendly, welcoming and generous. We highly recommend!“

“Stopped by the tattoo shop next door on Friday the 13th and was drawn in by the owners kindness and smoothie samples she offered as we waited. The sandwiches are absolutely amazing! They’re fresh, they’re greatly portioned, and one of the best sandwiches I’ve had. The customer service was over the top! I will definitely be stopping by whenever I’m in the area again 😊“

“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.“
