Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Long Beach

Celebrated our engagement here and the whole experience was great!! Food was delicious. Staff was very nice and friendly!!

A beautiful evening out! Once you get over the sketch area and walking past questionable people on the sidewalk, the restaurant is pretty and inviting inside. All the people are very friendly and attentive. We received amazing service and loved every dish. We ordered 4 appetizers, 3 main dishes, 2 desserts, and 6 drinks amongst 4 people. We shared everything so that we could all taste each dish. Two little comments: cocktails aren’t that strong because I was able to drink 3 “Pretty and basic” drinks without feeling anything.. usually with 2 cocktails at other restaurants I’m feelin it and 3 I’m reallyy feelin it but nothing after 3 here. Secondly, we were “offered” caviar bumps which seemed like they were on the house the way our server asked, but definitely were not when we saw $25 per person on the bill later. I have no issue paying for something but when it’s phrased to make me think it’s included, it’s a little bit annoying to get a bill for it later. We didn’t say anything, but just a word of caution since it surprised all of us ! Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves the entire time!

Christmas Dinner at Manpuku is truly the best way to celebrate and end the year!! My two daughters and I really enjoyed this special night consisting of two orders of the Prime Beef Course plus additional Pork Belly with Sanchu Lettuce, Marinated Chicken Breast and Thighs, Tokyo Prime Beef Tongue, Assorted Mushrooms, Manpuku Salad and Garlic Cloves. I must say that the Prime Course is a super deal at $69 per person and the five cuts of beef plus shrimp are pure quality and tenderness!! Comes with Spicy Soup, Assorted Kimchee, Bean Sprouts, Cabbage Salad, Stone Pot Garlic Rice and dessert…..WOW!! And I washed it all down with four ATF brew Asahi Super Drys on tap!! Best of all, hats off and truly appreciate hard working Japanese gals Risa and Nasa plus the back of the house gang and dude manager-san for showing up on Christmas!!!

Very crowded but the servers were hustling and food is always good. 3 cheese garlic bread and ribeye are the best around. All restaurants need to quit the loud music. People are there to eat and talk

Had a great time last Friday. Food was great and we topped it off with the dessert as well. Definitely would recommend to lovers of Japanese bar cuisine.
