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.

Your team and staff made our first date experience very organic. The music in the background made everything else just perfect. Chefs really enjoy cooking as our food was made with true love. Your waiters/waitress checking in on everyone and being approachable with a smile. Thank you again Rokka!

Precious was our chef and she was amazing!!!! Food cooked to perfection and super sweet! I appreciate how she read the table. There was an older crowd at her table and she could tell we wanted to eat and not be too entertained by the loud clacking of the knife and spatula! Funny and personable. Would definitely go back to her table!!!

Had to give this place 5 stars. Had reservations for Valentine’s Day at 7 PM and got there around 6:48 I was sitting at my table at 6:50. This place is very well managed. They have an amazing system to provide excellent customer service. I chose to pick from one of there preset menus instead of all you can eat and I don’t regret it. It was the perfect amount of food for two people I did upgrade everything in the meat lovers menu. I also added vegetable sides because they looked delicious. I’ve been to so many restaurants and I use to eat out quite often, but recently I feel that there’s a lot of quality and customer service lacking now a days. My bill was 117 before tip but I will say for the experience my wife and I had there is no doubt I will be coming back for another date night here in the future.

Food was great as usual Megan our server was the best we've ever had definitely ask for her next time
