    The great thing about a food hall like this is everyone can find something they like - very helpful especially when you're dealing with a picky eater. Seating is plentiful, both indoors and outdoors. There's even outdoor seating up on the rooftop, which is lovely. Restrooms are located on the first floor in the back, across from Go Go Bird. We picked up a slice of pizza and Italian sodas from Benevento, some smoked brisket from Smokey Chance BBQ, and a Chris Oh sandwich from Go Go Bird. Everyone was happy with their selections. And Salt & Straw is conveniently located across the street for dessert :)

    I was really sad and shocked to hear that citizen. Public market is being sold and taking away all of the food eateries or maybe that's just to be determined but I've always received the best service. It has the best vibes. I really really enjoy hanging out there from what I understand, Bar Bohemian is going to remain, but the eateries may not so I heard that this was happening last week so you know I'm just not sure what's happening, but I heard it was closing, but it was one of the best spots in Culver City to me.

    Wife and I came in for a bite. Pizza is great!! Very delicious service is great. Small market limited seating has some outdoor options. The brisket melt was good as well, the potato salad was really good. Ambience can be a little loud, but tolerable.

    This place is super vibey and has a number of different cuisine options. I ate at bang bang and would definitely go back. The staff seemed chill and helpful. The crowd seemed chill as well. The set up is food court style which is something to consider when going with a bigger group. They had the nba playoffs playing on an overheard projector in the back. It's a solid place to have dinner!

    Citizens Public Market located in downtown Culver City. Food hall with different types of food vendors, open-concept communal tables, and upstairs outdoor dining on the second-floor top deck (bring a jacket on chilly evenings ). Besure to sign up to their newsletter for updates on events and promotional offerings. Here's a list of some vendors I recall seeing from my experience : *Bang Bang Noodles- Fresh made Hand pulled noodles *Bar Bohemian- Craft beers, wine and cocktails *Go Go Bird - Fried Chicken Szechuan style *Noble Rotisserie- Serve pasteurized chicken *Benevento -Pizza-New York Style *Weho Sausage Company- Gourmet burgers *Uoichiba - Japanese dry aged fish Temaki ( hand rolled sushi ) & Chirashi (served in a bowl ) *Smokey Chance BBQ- Texas Style BBQ *Sustain Bowl-Pokè & Açaí bowls

    Food hall in Culver City with lots of modern spots and sitting. Great place to get a variety for lunch or post work socials. Not all places open exactly as the times they list. Expect spending $20-30 for a complete meal

    This review is long overdue, and sadly it comes with bittersweet news: Citizen Public Market will be closing its doors in November 2025. That means we've only got a little over a month to show love and support to the amazing vendors that have called this space home. Citizen has always been one of my favorite foodie halls in LA not just because of the variety, but because of the culture and flavors you get all in one place. From hand rolls to fried chicken, pizza to poke bowls, it's been a foodie playground where you can try different textures and tastes from so many talented chefs. Over the years, some vendors have come and gone like WeHo Sausage and Bang Bang Noodles but the heart of this place never changed. Right now, there's even a new burger spot and an Afro-Cali vendor I still want to try before the final day. My go-to and all-time favorite here is Go Go Bird. Hands down, some of the BEST fried chicken in LA. Perfectly seasoned, crispy, juicy, and their fries with lemon aioli dipping sauce? Addictive. Don't skip their mac & cheese either, total comfort food perfection. Next up, Sustainabowl (the poke spot in the front). Their "Get in My Belly" bowl is my personal favorite, and make sure you get the black sauce drizzled on top, it takes it to another level. I've also had their fresh juices, which are light and refreshing. There's also the hand roll spot, I've only managed to try their buttery furikake edamame appetizer (seriously the BEST edamame I've ever had in my life), but I'm still determined to snag a seat at the bar before November to try their full hand roll experience. Pizza here is also solid, and let's not forget the bar upstairs, which will still remain open even after the food hall shuts down. But the magic of Citizen Public Market has always been about the food vendors, the families, and the groups of friends that filled this space. It's heartbreaking to see places like this close, because food halls like Citizen don't come around often. So if you've ever been curious or if you're already a fan, make the trip before November 2, 2025. Support the vendors, enjoy your favorites one last time, and celebrate what this space has brought to Culver City. Citizen, you will truly be missed.

    Going to start with the one negative. Go Go Bird needs a better pickup setup. You order from them and there's no sense of when your food will be ready. They don't provide a pager or take a cell number. There's no announcements either. They have good food but I recommend ordering it online. WEHO Sausage Company provides a much nicer experience via their pagers. No need to constantly ask if your food is ready. Now on to the good stuff. I really like the food mall concept and this is a good representation of why. There was enough selection to keep both me and the rest of the family excited..... And that's what I wrote 4 months ago. I can't remember the rest of the details but we had a great time and are looking forward to coming back.

    I absolutely love Citizen Public Market. I've been here countless times over the years and recently had a friend visiting in town so we went here for lunch. It's a super cute "indoor market" with a bunch of different vendor options to choose from, indoor/outdoor seating and a roof top bar 10/10. The only item I was a bit disappointed on this time is two vendor spots were totally empty which reduced the number of choices. We ended up ordering from GoGoBird and Sustainabowl and both were delicious with great customer service. For parking, I'd recommend parking in the garage on Cardiff Ave (just two blocks down) off of Culver Blvd.

    Lamb noodles. Cucumber salad. Not so spicy chili sauce.

    Why do all the food vendors close early when the market says it's open til midnight?? My bf and I came around 8:40 on a Thursday evening. Lucked out with finding parking in the small lot that's free after 8pm. Really wanted to try the chicken place but it was closed already and all the other vendors besides the hand pulled noodle place were closed. We got the lamb noodles and it was good but nothing spectacular. Cucumber salad was decent. Asked for some chili sauce that was not even that spicy. Prob wouldn't come back to the market unless I was in the area to try the chicken place.

    Citizen Public Market has been my go-to whenever I'm in Culver City. There's various food stalls here ranging from pizza to noodles. Many of these stalls serve a variety of craft beers as well and the selection is great! The ambience is lively and there is outdoor and indoor seating - there are also occasional trivia nights too!

    Stopped at this food hall in Culver City located in a two-story historic bldg. Lots of places to choose from, but settled on the chicken tenders from Go Go Bird and teriyaki bowl from Noble. Both were excellent! There are plenty of high top tables inside and a rooftop area for seating. Street parking (if you can find it), and a structure across the street. The Yuzu green tea from Go Go was delicious!

    Checked out something new for a change. Heard quite a few things about this place and with the selections that were talked about, it sounded good. Cute concept, there's loads of the concept all over the places throughout Southern California. Right when you walk in, to the right upstairs you'll enter to a bar area. Nice layout, gastropub vibe. Drink menu were quite impressive with their mixed drink. Mixologist were good with their crafts. As you walk outside to the rooftop, there's plenty of seating both tables and hitop table. It's also covered incase it gets too hot as well as heat lamps. Great place for a cocktail or gathering with friends. In the back area, there's also outdoor patio downstairs. But inside is where the magic is. The vendors were a noodles station. Fresh noodles made both in a broth or dry style. The oyster bar, fresh seafood offered. Also a sushi counter, don't think you were able to order anything to go as they wanted you to sit at the counter. Then there's the fried chicken counter and another bar that also offers burgers. You order and wait till you hear your number. Some places said that they'll text you when your order was ready but we never received it. Noodle counter, we ordered both the dry and soup Noodle. By the time I got the wet noodle it was getting cold. The broth was good, a bit too much celery for my liking. Noodles are good but pretty thick. More like pasta style. There's a selection of protein and veggies that also be added. Also had the dumplings, theirs were great with the sauce paired mixed together. Between the soup and dry noodles version, dry was good on this visit. The fried chicken was pretty big in sizes. The only thing that was, batter was just whatever. Had rice remove majority of it. Came with a cucumbers salad and a biscuit. The Mac and cheese were great. Also go a side of the fries which was nice. Then the burger vendors, it was good. Also the fries were great as well. Downfall, onion rings were to overdone. But to crunchy but option was pretty big. The whole concept is great for a selection of items. Think another stall is opening soon. There was a live band on site. Love the patio seating and the two bars on property. Also outdoor seating In front.

I had high hopes for the restaurant, but unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. Came here on a Sunday and managed to snag a table around dinner time without a reservation. Servers were friendly and attentive. We got the melon prosciutto appetizer to share. It was good and the melon prosciutto pairing is always great. Will order this again, though the presentation of the dish could probably have been a bit better. They had the summer of pesto menu going, so I got the pesto basilico pasta. The pasta was cooked very al dente and the pesto sauce was good. My only qualm is that the portion is a little on the smaller side and I wish the pasta was cooked a little bit more (maybe 45-60s more). The pizza was perhaps the most disappointing. We got the diavola dolce pizza and was expecting a glazy hot honey but the honey was very watery and the pizza overall was lacking flavor. I also wish they were a bit more generous with their salami topping. The dough was good, but the entire pizza tasted very bland and more like a regular cheese pizza topped with a couple of salami and a dollop of ricotta. There's way better options for Italian food in the area so probably wont be returning here again. However, they do have a great selection of groceries so I'd probably just stick with the groceries!
