“I recently visited Galata Halal Restaurant and Grill, and it was a fantastic experience! The food was absolutely delicious, every bite full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The hospitality here is top-notch and adds a special touch to the entire dining experience. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great food and warm, welcoming service. Will definitely be coming back!”
“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.”

“Came here for a meetup event and happily devoured their Bahn Mi sandwich. I love breweries that make a mean Bahn Mi and this one was quite savory. You order at the counter and they'll bring it out to your table via numbered placard. It was a nice night so my group and I sat outside. It's a chill environment, definitely a good place to gather. Definitely check this place out as it's in a newer, more upscale part of downtown.
Vegetarian options: Yes”
“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!”
“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.”

“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.”

“Long Beach is becoming a food hub rivaling LA. It can go toe to toe with DTLA and its neighborhoods. Straight up. Sesame dinette is another punch 🥊. It hits. Delicious banh mi and meatballs..yes I said meatballs. Everything is sexy and succulent. On top of all that a vegan Vietnamese coffee topped with salted pandan. That’s crazy.”
“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. :)”
“We had a 40th college reunion there. The ambience was perfect, food was great and the staff were wonderful! Everyone had a great time!”
“Came down from the valley to check out this place. I heard only great things about it and it definitely lived up to the hype! Honestly, everything sooo delicious and flavorful. It was hard to pick a favorite. But we got the fresh oysters to start, we were flavored Thai street style. Then we got Khao Soi Noodle Soup with Thai sausage, the Roti Combo and the Chiang Rai Pork. All great big portions! Next time I’m in Long Beach, I’m coming back :) Just a tip, prepare to wait a bit for a table. But they text you when your tank is ready. My friend and I got boba in the meantime.”

“This has to be one of my favorite businesses in long beach. To start, the staff are always warm and welcome. They treat everyone like family and are always so cheerful. Breakfast + Lunch ALL DAY! I really love that the new owners have their full menu available during opening hours. Not only are they the most economical option for burritos in long beach, I believe they might even be the biggest. (see photos) I was not a fan of the previous management of this place, but I encourage anybody that was discouraged from the previous owners to go back and try it again. I swore off this place until I found that there were new people that really wanted to introduce great value to the community. 5 stars all around!”
“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.”
“The best restaurant on 2nd street! We make a point to come here at least once every time we visit Long Beach. Honestly worth a trip to LB just for the udon, fried rolls, avocado fries, and awesome wait staff! 10/10. Love this place!”
“We were seated right away and I really liked how they allowed one of us to do Premium ayce and the other person to do regular ayce, it helped a lot with the flexibility in choosing both of dining experiences but sharing them together. Service was attentive and fast, we waited no more than 10 minutes after putting in our order for another round of food. The nigiri was fantastic, wasabi dots, ponzu and yuzu sauce that goes with the cuts of fish add a lot more to it. Also if you go during lunch time (up to 3pm) the prices are fairly good. Overall would highly recommend, I do wish some of the nigiri didn’t come with the specific sauce, and that the fish could be enjoyed simply without anything added on, still really great quality cuts. Normally I don’t like seared black pepper nigiri but here I loved it, the snow crab was also amazing. You also get a free large vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate syrup if you leave a yelp review, pretty cool. Highly recommend if you love ayce sushi.”

“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!!!”
“A hidden gem for the poetically inclined. I was among poetic legends last week. Caught a great performance and got to see some fellow spoken word artists. This place is the spot if you wanna get a drink alone or with a friend. Come check out some poetry or get a drink. You wont regret it.”
“"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!"”
“I'm glad this new location opened closer to home, as I've been to other places and enjoyed the experience. However, it might be dangerously close. Teleferic faces the street along E. Marina Dr. in the 2nd and PCH Mall. It might be a good sunset dining spot. As pricey as it is, Teleferic Barcelona is a perfect place to treat yourself or celebrate a special occasion.
FOOD
As I've been to other locations, I knew what to expect. We ordered a few favorites and some items we had yet to try. Overall, we enjoyed the tapas and entrées we ordered. The dinner highlights were the Lobster Paella with crispy rice bottom, Empanadas, Crab Croquetas with tuna sashimi, Pulpo, Patatas Bravas, and Prime Wellington. The Paella Negra is also a delicious option I've enjoyed in the past.
For dessert, we shared the Trío Selection and La Cookie. The Trio was a great option for trying a few popular items. Our server also recommended La Cookie. The cookie with nuts and vanilla ice cream was delicious, and the half-baked cookie dough and chocolate filling were decadent and rich.
The drink menu showcases crafted cocktails and sangrias, and a full bar will satisfy all your libation needs. Our table enjoyed the Teleferic Sangias and the Virgin Gothic Mojito.
ATMOSPHERE
We made reservations for a 7 p.m. dinner and were seated within a few minutes after checking in. The atmosphere is modern, with proper lighting in the main dining area and more moody near the windows. The noise level was moderately loud, so our conversations and hearing the server were challenging initially, but we managed.
OVERALL
We had a fantastic dining experience. Our excellent server (Edy?) and staff were kind and attentive throughout our meal. We were satisfied with all the food we ordered and didn't feel overly stuffed or needed a nap after.”
“This is an underrated gem near the Rose Park neighborhood on 7th Street. The young lady and man working the counter are friendly and seem genuinely interested in serving customers. There's a cozy ambience to the place that is so inviting, and the food is great quality for the reasonable prices. Coming back all the time!!”

“For a fast food joint this Carl's Jr location is probably the best one in a 20 mi radius. The staff and management are great, I go there for their specials that are advertised in the window. It's not budget friendly if you go and buy everything a menu price, but the specials they have in the window are awesome and absolutely affordable. Inside is clean the bathrooms are clean, the environment is very well maintained. The staff cares about how your experience goes while you're eating there and it shows, expect nothing but respect and a great atmosphere along with a great word ethic that shows on the quality of food they serve. Best Carl's Jr in Long Beach.
Parking: Plenty of parking for you.
Wheelchair accessibility: There's some easily accessible ramp in the front and side doors that make it handicap friendly”
“First time trying this spot and damn the birria tacos here are fireee 🔥 The birria tacos here are bigger than other places I’ve been to. The complimentary consome is 5 oz which is also bigger than other places I’ve been too. The birria plate comes with rice and beans. The churro cheesecake is THICC and so so good. I guess I got lucky because I got the corner piece which has a nice crust and texture to it. I’m definitely coming back. 5/5 ⭐️”
“The?
Night shift has one of the hardest working little lady there all by herself, working not complaining handling all the tasks.And still giving great customer service it has been a long time since i've seen anyone worth this hard and stay so positive although the food is good I will be coming back here to thos location because thank you so much for your hard work 😀”
“Atmosphere im still giving a 5 star, but there is a lot of homeless people here. Out of all of them only one, ask me for money to buy something to eat here. Nice lady. So I did buy her something. She not just wanted the money she really wanted food. Good place to eat. Thank you Carl's ”
“Vegetarian options: You can get different breads that use different grains and you have the option to put zero meat and/or animal products on your sandwich
Kid-friendliness: Taking your kid to subway can give them more control over there eating habits in a manner that teaches them healthy eating, enjoyment of some fast foods, and help them develope better socializing skills due to speaking to the workers.”
“This is your typical Del Taco restaurant with the same vibe as most. Customer service was excellent, but the cleanliness needs to be improved. My order came out fast, and it was hot and fresh. If I am back around this area and hungry for some chain-made tacos, I will return.”
“My visit to Del Taco was a great experience, thanks to the amazing staff, especially Mario. It's rare to find such dedicated customer service in fast food, and I will definitely be returning for more delicious tacos, burritos, burgers, and crinkle fries! Everything was fresh and tasty.”
“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”

“This place is so good, i took a bite of everything before i took a pic bc i just wasn’t thinking it tastes so good.
literally everything melts in ur mouth but its not sticky and the cookie is crunchy but not grainy it’s literally so perfect
i’ve been thinking about brownies for the past few weeks and all i wanted was a good brownie that ISNT WEED and this place cured me. My brownie poisoned mind has been cured and i’m free.
10/10 would come back and again and again.
also there is only street parking but when i went there was a lot of spots right in front of the store ^^”

Gnocchi bolognese really big portion for 14
Service was friendly and polite
Bread was so good also comes with breadsticks & pesto, no charge for it.
Im stuffed and happy
Hh is 4:00-5:30”

“I had the phnom penh noodles here. The broth was very flavorful, the noodles were great and the meats included in the noodle dish along with the garlic went together very well. The pork bone was very tender with the soup it came with. I recommend this place and I would come back to try the other dishes like the Thai boat noodle”
“This place it the place to get your burrito fix! Definitely worth every penny, a must try in my opinion and don't forget the red salsa. My go to iced coffee it the vanilla latte with oat milk, always perfect and delicious. if you haven't already I would give them a try.”
“We ordered our food to go but sat in the lounge area outside to eat our pastry and sip our coffee. Our cashier offered to bring out my peanut little once it was done. It was delish!!! The gf vegan chocolate muffin was not lacking and I would definitely get the chocolate goodness again. It wasn't dry and was ooey gooey. The coffee was delicious too. Even the drip. The patio was also dog friendly.”
“It is such a cozy and friendly environment. A great well maintained space. An easy laid back atmosphere.”

“This spot is within a food hall and I love these setups because of the amount of food options available.
I ordered their bulgogi burrito with no rice along with their Korean spicy popcorn chicken. The burrito was phenomenal and one of the best burritos I’ve ever had. A bulgogi bowl but put into a wrap and the popcorn chicken was solid. Overall both items were delicious.
I’d definitely come back to try their other menu items and overall it was an excellent lunch!
***update***
I also tried their make your own salad bowl with salmon, chicken and bulgogi. It was excellent and overall delicious bowl with a great sauce.”
“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.”
“Lam is a charming man that is prepared to talk with on any subject. We talked about Buddism, Music, and of course, Thai Food. I had Pad See Eew and it was absolutely fantastic. 3 egg rolls. Great portions, tremendous value, fresh and hot. Everything prepared as ordered. This is Gabriel Iglesias favorite Long Beach spot. definitely a 5 and only spent 12.00 for this great food. Thanks Fluffy.”
“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!!! The owner Chuckie Miller knows how to make sure everyone has the Best time!! Drinks/ Sports/ Music/ Conversation!!”
“The Reason for food being 3 is because although the sandwich i had was very good, it was nothing new or different. It was just the wich itself if you wanted a side it was extra and they were bagged chips the beer selection was nice though i always come back for that.”
“Celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and had a fabulous dinner with amazing service.”
“Great service and great food! My family loves this place!! 👍🏻”
“Excellent service. Excellent food. Definitely returning. Thanks!”
“Fantastic food, service & ambiance. Most recent visit, I had the 'maple glazed double porkchop'. Absolutely 'oishi' (Japanese for delicious). A bit pricey but well worth the splurge.”
“I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting the food to be this exceptional. And that is because sometimes chain establishments are not great.

“Incredibly fresh, not greasy, lovely wood detailing in the dining room. Had the chefs filet which was tender and amazingly black pepper with onion. Also the black bean shrimp was fantastic with bell pepper and chili.
Parking: Small parking lot, plenty of parking at 730pm Sunday”
“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.”
“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 .”
“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”
“The family brought my aunt for her 79th birthday. She absolutely LOVED it. The food is amazing, and even though I don't really drink, the huge selection is impressive. My only issue was the lighting. It's kinda dark in there, but if you go for a date night, it would be perfect.”
“Long time Belmont Shore resident, and newly minted Louie's fan!
Came here for the first time about a week ago for breakfast, and both my partner and I were blown away by the quality, service, selection, and vibe. We even came back later that evening to order food to go.
Tonight was our anniversary so we decided to check out the dinner options, and again we're pleasantly surprised! Our server Cynthia was incredibly friendly and made great suggestions. She mentioned their Wine Wednesday special, as well as the Steak Frites special, which we ordered both of without a second thought. Before our mains we shared the Fritto Misto to share, a nice selection of veggies with a perfectly light breading, and the Calabrian chili dip was a great addition. Steak was cooked perfectly, and the garlic fries are a must. She even brought out a dessert for our special occasion, which was a really kind gesture.
Great value all around, weekly happy hours, and I think a hidden gem among the seemingly overwhelming plethora of eateries in Belmont Shore. There are lots of places on 2nd street that I don't think get love or admiration they deserve, but I think Louie's should be on everyone's radar!”
“Have been twice in the past six months and look forward to attending another concert soon.
Parking: Quaint and intimate locale in the heart of Long Beach on Pine Ave. Fantastic venue to see/hear a concert. Will definitely return.”
“Love this place,my family and friends have been going there for years,was so bummed when it burned down but just as good after it came back,always my first choice when I get the chance to be in town, and always great�”
“Sushi mafia is by far the best preparation of Sushi and sushimi I recommend this place to all my friends and family everybody come out and enjoy the best I've had highly recommend this place.”
“I love this place!! There food is absolutely amazing, as is their customer service! Recommend the mushrooms for an appetizer and bread pudding for dessert!!”
“I had the catfish and fries with cornbread it was simply amazing it was so good nice and hot fresh I'll definitely be back again and I will recommend this restaurant to all of my family and friends”

“The Current offers a lot of convenience with its prime location in the middle of DTLB. The connected retailers, including Hi-Lo Liquor, Qargo coffee, Sushi Beluga, and BMore Pizza, make everyday errands and dining out incredibly convenient. The amenities are outstanding. I can enjoy a relaxing day at the beautiful 4th-floor terrace or take a dip in the pool on the 17th floor, both offering great spots to unwind and take in the views. Additionally, The Current hosts a variety of events, from the big Grand Prix party to smaller gatherings like yoga on the 17th floor, which adds a vibrant and engaging community feel to the place. The staff at The Current, particularly Raelle and Denisse, always make me feel welcomed and valued. Their friendliness and attentiveness greatly enhance the living experience, making it feel like home. Overall, The Current offers an exceptional living environment with its convenient location, excellent amenities, and welcoming staff. Highly recommended!”
“Great food and wonderful service by our waiter David. Large portions.”
“Reminds me exactly of my favorite childhood restaraunt destination. I haven't seen em flip shrimp into their hat but I bet they could. Food is great I'll keep going when I wanna treat myself”
“We came between lunch and dinner due to work. Food was good, unfussy, and nostalgic for me. Service was great, attentive. We were given extra rice as we really enjoyed the lomo sauce.”
“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.”
“What a nice place with such a special atmosphere. Unfortunately I didn’t catch our server name, but he had the most relaxed and calm attitude which we really appreciated. The food was great, we especially enjoyed the cod. Would absolutely come back again!”
“Love The Crest. Amazing boutique apartment complex. Feels so homey and cozy. The leasing people are super cool and so close to everything walking distance. Oh.... and did I mention they have the most legit balconies. I spent most of my time on the beautiful balcony ❤️ I searched for a place for 3 months and this was it. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Dined here this evening. We enjoyed some Cocktails to start then ordered Beef Tartare, Shrimp with Veg and Roasted Carrots. Entrees varied from Pasta to Ribeye steak and Burger. All delicious. The Carbonara needed more bacon but that was the only issue. Desserts were great. The Espresso wasn’t hot enough for my guest but overall we enjoyed the evening celebrating a birthday. Will recommend to my friends for sure. Would recommend a reservation as it was very busy by the time we left at 6.30 pm”
“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!”
“Food seems better than other yard house locations. Everything super fresh- ordered the ahi stack appetizer (photo) and avocado toast. Lots of food options for a variety of dietary preferences.”
“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.”
“Claire’s at the Museum is aesthetically pleasing. The view is gorgeous, and the food is delicious! Spent my birthday here and it did not disappoint!! ❤️”

“Wow! This is a hidden gem! Had a few hours until our flight out of Long Beach. Found this amazing spot for a coffee and was absolutely blown away by the owner(Shannon) and the menu! We ordered 2 coffees a sandwich and a cinnamon roll. The coffees were amazing, the owner made me a custom coffee. I asked for 'Something Sweet' and the drink was so good we ordered a 2nd one. Cinnamon roll was hot, sweet, and cream cheese frosted. Licked the bowl clean! Breakfast Sandwich was made with fresh ingredients and was so tasty! We will plan our future trips to this Airport just to have this coffee and cinnamon roll again! 10/10! Oh and the reggae music jamming is the vibe!!”
“I like too much the Greek food at George’s , the lamb was delicious as well as the hole plate and wine. Every time that I come to LB from Brasil , I need going and try new culinary features. So yummy”
“This ramen chain maintains its quality standards throughout their various branches. I’ve been to some of their other locations and haven’t ever been disappointed. They have 3 vegan ramen options along with some vegan appetizers. I did the Impossible Rice Bowl and the Impossible Gyoza. Both were very delicious. The restaurant is situated in a nice outdoor shopping mall with adequate indoor and outdoor seating. Can’t say there’s anything wrong with this restaurant.”
“Great good and drinks. Great happy hour and weekly specials like Wine Wednesday. Friendly and welcoming.”
“Really great food and nice vibes. Recommend the Nashville hot fish, salmon crudo, and the toffee butter cake. The lobster roll has a good amount of lobster but was just ok. My entree also came out late and the affogato was weird, more just a coffee with a dollop of ice cream on top, but overall a good meal.”
“Fast pace restaurant! Eager waiter took our order and within minutes delivered piping hot, steaming delicious Thai dishes. Tasty, spicy, steamy, crunchy succulent morsels on every bite. Pomegranate margaritas and Sangria complimented the savory entries to the last bite. Very friendly staff, eager to please each customer. Mom & Pop shops are always the best. Plan to return in the near future with an even bigger appetite.”
“Food was super I had the lobster linguini and calamari was very very good and the service spectacular”
“The psychedelic sando & og chicken sando were so awesome. Medium sauce had a kick but went well with the sandos. Fries were great! I highly recommend!!”

“Our experience all around was great. We sat right on the water right before sunset. It was gorgeous. We got to interact with the bats and the music. What a beautiful evening.”
“We had a great time. The food drinks and service were perfect. Lee made the evening.”
“The tiramisu was amazing. The wait staff brought one for my cousins birthday.”
“The food was very good. Service was great..my friend ordered her food too hot. They replaced it with a milder taste and it was just as she had ordered the first time.. Thanks Kickin Crab for great customer service....plus I had enough for leftovers..”
“Love this authentic Thai restaurant in Naples! Super friendly staff, amazing food that reminded me of dishes I had in Thailand - bringing back that original flavor ??? would highly recommend. The interior of this place is also really sweet. I had the Red Curry with Tofu and loved it. Their Thai Tea is also amazing & so is the Mango Sticky Rice in my opinion.
If you’re in the area and craving Thai food, check it out for sure.
Vegetarian options: Tofu is always one of the protein choices ?”
“Came here for a business dinner and was seated outside on a beautiful evening. Started off with a mix of oysters and the Cevichos. Both were excellent. Then the 5 of us went different directions for our mains, but my Squid Ink Linguini was top notch! Our server this evening was Chase K. He did excellent and we would love to come back here. Really good restaurant!”
“Every time I’ve been at Black bar a very enjoyable experience, it has a wonderful selection of whiskey which I drink. They have wonderful, creative cocktails that I’ve tried and never been disappointed. The pizza is wonderful as well. Please try it. The ladies who run it are very hospitable And will bend over backwards to make your time there something to talk about. Very talented and charismatic bartenders as well.”
“What a beautiful place. We had a wonderful evening with amazing staff. We had a large group and the staff was gracious and accommodating. Highly recommend.”
“excellent bar and live music venue. service was excellent and the bar tab was fair.”
“I found this new BBQ pop-up in Lakewood at the YMCA and I can’t say enough good things about it. From the kindness of the family that runs it, to the delicious food. Last week I had the 3 meat plate (I chose brisket, pork belly and chicken) which came with 2 sides and it was only $28! The brisket and pork belly were SO tender and juicy and had an amazing flavor! Earlier today I had the one meat plate with chicken, this coleslaw that is probably the best I’ve ever tasted, and their brisket chow mein. So good! Everything is homemade down to the sauces and they have things like burritos and Texas toast brisket grilled cheese. It’s called Axiom Kitchen. Husband, wife and kids and so kind…they made us feel so special. We haven’t had service like that in a long time. I know they are at the Lakewood YMCA on Sundays and I think Fridays and they are at another location on Thursday but I’m not sure where.”
“This is a very good seafood restaurant. I like the food. The environment is also very good and the service is very good.”
“Really flavorful food. Great taste. Nice atmosphere. Had a couple dishes, Cocacho Relleno and a Fried Fish. Also the agua fresca de piña was good. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Service was ok. I would come back to try more. Only negative thing was parking.”
“On an unpredicted rainy Wednesday night found myself in the cozy Wrigley Tavern. A locals hangout with the ambiance of the type of joint my dad might have frequented. Great service and a good selection of spirits and beer. The flatbread I tried, well, maybe not next time. I’ll come back on a weekend night for certain.”
“We’re “Regulars.” The wait staff treat us so well, and the food is terrific. We see tables populated by seniors, parents with babes in arms, post-game soccer stars, and golf buddies. This is truly a neighborhood gem!”
“We got several items to share in our group. The food was all very good except for the chicken fried rice. The wontons in chili oil were good but i think the shape of the dumplings made the sauce not stick very well. Overall a great place to get dim sum. My favorite was the choe mein (with beef) and the garlic green beans. They were phenominal”

“The older Asian man who took our order was not friendly at all. (The first thought that entered my mind was that he was a racist) Upon entering the restaurant my friend and I greeted him twice he never did open his mouth and speak. It was our first time there so I had questions about what I wanted to order. He was very pushy and impolite rushing us even though we were the only customers in the restaurant. We should have turned around and walked out but we were tired so we ignored his rudeness. The rice was good but I wondered how it could be cooked to order when we got it right away.”
“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!”
“I absolutely love, love, loooooove this family friendly jewel. Starting with the food first ?, there is an abundance of everything even if it's a plate order for one person. The broth is clean, the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the flavors do NOT stop with mmmmmm?. Your meal experience, will result in you leaving with a happy and full belly. I've even seen some family that brought children, with excitement for the food here and kids can be picky. The service is quick, communication is clear, and the restaurant team is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The staff, all work really hard together, to keep their customers consistently happy. They go above and beyond here, to make sure your experience is a full and comfortably wholesome one. The atmosphere is unforgettably clean like their pho broth?, there is more than enough space to keep to yourself or enjoy your company in your own bubble together with your meals. They also have outside seating, for those who prefer fresh air to themselves. I would NOT sleep on this place, if I were you. Plenty of parking, and walking distance to public transportation for those who are not personally mobile. I highly recommend this place, to anyone looking for tasty and clean pho options.”
“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.”

“It’s my first time at CAVA and Walter was super warm, friendly and welcoming! Also, his food recommendation was amazing. All the food that was prepped was very fresh and tasted sooooo good. Also, shout out to Dominick who was working as the cashier and assisted in prepping my food as well. I don’t often leave reviews but you two have the best costumer service. I’ll definitely be coming back :)”

“We came for Taco Tuesday and stayed for the amazing service by Angie, our server ☺️. The Margaritas are huge and worth their weight (especially at happy hour). Don't forget to add some of the wings (so good for a place not known for their wings) and taquitos with a very generous helping of guac! This one is a no-brainer with the great ambiance and location in Shoreline Village. Park at the meters and save yourself a few bucks (use your savings for another Margarita ?) Cheers!”
“This is a chain restaurant, so there were no surprises about what to expect as we've been to one before. This chang was accommodating to a larger group of us and delivered on the expectation.
(A per peeve of mine is a sticky table. The table was clean. However, the carrousel in the table was tacky)”
“We are not locals. The neighborhood seemed pretty scetch, but I am really glad we are not discouraged! The place was clean, service good and the food was great. Chicken sandwich was awesome, as were waffles. One star off for atmosphere, as a couple were listening to music , on phone the entire team we were there, and it was pretty annoying. If you like this style of food (comfort? Southern?) you shouldn't miss this place!”
“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.”
