Heritage
Californian, Contemporary · ★ Michelin
$$$$
Set in a converted Craftsman in the historic Rose Park neighborhood, this inviting locale is removed from the hustle and bustle of Long Beach. Brother-and-sister duo Philip and Lauren Pretty run the kitchen and front of house, respectively, curating an experience that’s relaxed, but gets the details just right. On offer is a single multicourse tasting (priced quite reasonably) that highlights top-notch ingredients, including produce sourced from their nearby farm. The cooking has a California accent, and seasonal fruit may form a common thread, as in preserved kumquats paired with roasted beet

Koi Japanese Cuisine
Japanese, Contemporary
$$$
Helmed by chefs have a century of experience under their collective belts, Koi Japanese Cuisine may have a familiar name, but this spot stands firmly on its own.

Fried chicken and biscuits are at the heart of the carte, along with gumbo a

Chiang Rai
Thai
$$
Chiang Rai is exactly why you don’t judge a book by its cover. It would be easy to walk past the modest exterior, but inside is a colorful, quirky dining room serving one of the more expansive Northern Thai menus in town. While the offerings range from familiar curries and noodle dishes to street-food staples, the Chiang Rai Local Food section remains the place to focus. The kitchen is happy to adjust spice levels for those seeking more heat, while dishes like sai uao, a fragrant Northern Thai pork sausage, or khao soi with thin slices of raw ribeye gently cooked tableside in curry broth showc
