Little gem in Downtown Long Beach! Love the food and the atmosphere. Great happy hour! I hosted a friend's birthday party here and the staff was very accommodating and food was great! Good spot to stop in after work as well for a quick bite and drink.

Loved this place! Saw the great reviews on Yelp and made a reservation for Saturday. Martins were wonderful and the food was excellent. We would come back here again the next time we visit Long Beach.

Guys! Risü is the fxcken place to be. Good food, good musik and awesome staff...book em Dano, Haze and Gabby are the best. We stumbled up drunk AF, they fed us, then kept the booze flowing...had a good buzz on a Sunday, but not enough to call out to work. Lol

Not sure if it was an off night but we walked in on a Thursday night and it was pretty empty. Facility: 3/5: The place itself was pretty small. We almost thought we were at the wrong location. It was also pretty chilly inside since the place is open so bring a jacket. Food: Risu fries: 1/5. The menu made them sound good but they were literally plain fries. Not an ounce of Parmesan. Short rib tacos: 1/5. Tiny! No seasoning whatsoever. They serve you 3, but all 3 = 1 full size taco. Chicken sliders: 3/5. Chicken was decent. Not much else to say. Short rib flat bread: 2/5. No seasoning - very bland. We ate one slice, took the rest home and nobody ate it. 3/5: Brussels sprouts. This was the best item we had and it was also mid. Shirley Temoles: 3/5. Service: 5/5. Our waitress was nice and got our food to us quickly. What was most upsetting was the $130 price that we paid for basically low-range appetizers Not sure I'll ever be tempted to return.

Great happy hour! Nice combo of outdoor and indoor seating. Live music on Friday night 6pm - 9 pm. Good for meeting up after work and people watching. Service was friendly, a bit slow when crowded.

I don't know how this place has a 4 out of 5 stars. Took 30min to put our order in tonight and a hour for the food to come out. With such a small prefix food menu I don't not understand why everything took so long. 20% automatic added gratuity. You guys are crazy. The food showed to the table as we were leaving to our show across the street. Also from what I saw arriving to the table the burger which I did not eat looked mediocre at best. $17 for that burger my azz with a 20% added gratuity. Your out of your mind.

Simply searched rooftop bar and this comes up. A really fun architectural light string tunnel between here and the convention center, as an elevated walkway. The outdoor chairs were surprisingly comfy, to the traveler who just sat in a plane six hours from the East Coast & needed to snag dinner before kitchens closed. Late night happy hour discounts on entrées and cocktails and wine – – the prices are shockingly reasonable for downtown Long Beach, not a block from the water.I got the short rib taco app and Bougie Brussels app to go, so I could have them for breakfast since nothings open when I hit my job site. Snitched some take-out Brussels— dang… really live up to their advertising! Likely the best Brussels preparation I’ve ever had in my life. Enjoyed the bacon lovers salad w shrimp for actual dinner… O M W sooooo good, even better than the description. I debated ordering another one, but the kitchen was closed by then. Not overly bacon, not overly vinaigrette… Just a gorgeous combination of creamy, savory, on lots of greens, because I sure need greens after a weekend of bad decisions in Atlantic City. I consider this an excellent salad design, and will try to re-create it at home.This is a really nice little ambience, at a shockingly good value/price point. I’m pretty sure I will be back tomorrow night for dinner again.

Best deal in town! Risu impresses with a perfect blend of top-notch cocktails and delectable cuisine, establishing itself as a social hub for both locals and visitors. The staff's attentive hosting creates a welcoming environment, adding to the overall charm of the dining experience.

This is my second visit to this little hidden gem. I strayed away from the flatbread just seemed a little boring for me. I did get the tofu ban mi sliders and the cauliflower tacos, which were delicious. I ordered a gran Mounier neat which I typically prefer to sip on while eating in a pretty glass, maybe a brandy glass would've been nicer but I got it in a water glass and I was bummed about that service is good it's the same two ladies as always on Monday nights one of them is the bartender, but her service was good The ambience is what makes the place ...so it's raised on the second floor near the convention center. You can see the water if you walk out to the end of the walkway which actually lights up at dusk with this multicolor lights. It's so pretty definitely recommend this place.
