    Thai tonic smash & Bangtao Tea
    Beatrice V.

    We came here for drinks on a weekend with some friends, and made a rez in advance. They have happy hour even on the weekend which is amazing! The restaurant is located in the heart of dt Culver City. Nice decor and ambiance inside, it's colorful! Not too much seating so I anticipate you have to make a rez to dine here. I love that they have a nice selection of cocktails but also mocktails on their menu for those who don't want to drink alcohol. I tried their Thai tea mocktail which is dairy-free (made with coconut cream!). It was sooooo incredibly good. Super tasty and sweet Thai tea, and love that it's made with coconut. They have an alcoholic version as well made with vodka, my boyfriend got that and liked it. I also tried the Thai tonic smash which was good too, more refreshing and the predominant flavor was ginger beer. We split an order of wings which were nicely sauced and had a bit of a kick! Definitely curious to come back here for dinner and enjoy more of their menu offerings!

    This place is sooooo good! Every dish we got was so tasty and cooked perfectly. Flavors and textures were insane. Ambiance is cool and vibey inside and a brighter covered patio outside. Service was super friendly! We parked in nearby parking garage and were there for maybe 1.5 hours and only paid $1.

    2 years later and I'm giving Piccalilli another go. This time with 2 girlfriends of mine after 6 months of planning dinner. Since both of them were running a bit late. The phone line was busy so I was able to pass by and change our time from 6p to 630pm with the host in the front. From my last experience, I had suggested we eat outside in the patio. Very thankful we did because like I remembered, it was pretty loud inside and I could actually hear our conversations. Great vibes and music as always. We got the following: - 6.8/10 a filling Caesar salad but didn't wow me (but our waiter gave some hot sauce to add to it, solid option) - 8/10 a flavorful yet salty tomato curry (also filling, took leftovers home). - 9.5/10 crispy rice salad (always a crowd favorite) - 9/10 albacore crudo - 8.5/10 katsu - 8/10 perfect soft yet crisp roti was a great choice for the curry, however a bit too oily - 9/10 1 Thai tonic and 2 medicine balls with one with a splash of Belvedere ;) Thanks to our waiter for being accommodating !

    Spicy chicken wings! So flavorful and crazy kick to them. I only wish there was more!

    Came here for happy hour and really enjoyed our experience. We ordered a couple of different drinks and plates, all incredibly flavor and yummy. I will say their prices seem steep to come on a usual day but the happy hour felt pretty reasonable, with items being $12 or under. We loved the Brussel sprouts which were slightly crispy and incredibly flavorful. The wings were also amazing but the kick was pretty powerful so wouldn't recommend unless you love spice. The hotdog was amazing, however the price was crazy considering it was only a few bites worth. And the pork belly was good but not as flavorful as I expected, it was very citrus and mainly just tasted of ponzu. Servers were all very kind and attentive and the food was really good. I will def be back!

    Miso Pork Jowl...oh my word
    Taylor J.

    Me. Love. Pork. So, when I saw photos of the Miso Pork Jowl at Piccalilli, I knew I had to try it out. Arrived in time for happy hour (Saturdays from 4-6pm) and sat right at the bar. Bartender was nice and helpful. To start, I ordered a frozen cocktail. Super delicious and had me thinking of summer. I also grabbed a Makong sour. Also super good. But I knew what I was there for. That pork! Loved the fact that this was featured on the happy hour menu. Such a great little deal. It was delicious too! Oh my. Crispy pieces of pork in a delicious miso broth with jalapeno, cilantro, and Daikon. I was immediately a fan. My only regret is not getting a little side of rice to throw in the broth when I finished the pork, but I'll try that next time. It was too good! Super nice solo date to Piccalilli! I'm a huge fan of great food in cozy, casual spots! I know I'll be back.

    This was a cute dinner spot serving asian fusion dishes. Their food was a lot of smaller plates, great for sharing so you can try different things. My favorite dishes were the brussel sprouts, the wings, and the curry. Service was also really quick and friendly.

    Ahh...OK, so off the bat, I'm going to say the food for me was 3 stars. But I am adding extra stars because the overall ambiance and the restaurant itself was super cute. Not to mention, we were able to reserve a spot at the bar pretty last minute on a Saturday night. The service was good enough for us, pretty friendly but didn't go out of their way to check in on us. But then again it was pretty busy. I'm not sure if my tastes in food changed, but everything...and I mean everything we ordered was just....too salty and rich-flavored for my taste. We ordered the pork jowl (4/5), brussel sprouts (3/5), udon (2/5), tomato curry (4/5) and I loved...none of it. The pork jowl I didn't mind actually, but the brussel sprouts...I could barely tasted any of the veggie flavor from all the seasoning. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong things and not the restaurant's main specialties. I also ordered the Thai Iced Tea....it was....interesting -- tasted more unique, a little different, a little....heavier?...compared to other Thai Iced Teas I've had before. If I were to pick the dish I liked, it was probably the pork jowl. The tomato curry was second -- the rice balls in it really threw me off. We thought they were meatballs and almost wished they were lol. I like that the bar has hooks underneath to hang my purse and jacket. I liked the cute lit up outdoor area. I liked the overall intimacy of the restaurant. Really cute overall date spot for me and hubby.

    Thai chicken katsu
    Akriti M.

    We were starving after entire day of apartment hunting in Santa Monica. Glad we were driving by this lively street and were surprised to see the street so lively on a weekday 7pm. We picked this place and were immediately seated in a cozy corner. Chicken katsu Curry - good, not great. We are katsu lovers but this one was different and nice. Nothing mind blowing though. Green shrimp ball curry- this one made us give an extra star. The curry was so flavorful without any extra spice. The shrimp balls were generous amount and were cooked perfect. Overall a great evening and we are def coming back to this street to try more places.

    There's 2 parking lots across the streets, we parked at the one through an alleyway and it was $2, no validation. I came here with my coworkers and the 6 of us were seated at the only triangle table, was a little strange but we quickly appreciated it! Much easier to share food than a round table. The food is all amazing, we ordered the following and it was very filling. - Brussel sprouts - Crispy rice salad - Miso Pork (We doubled up on this to share, and it was a crowd favorite!) - Albacore crudo - Ribeye (comes with ramen and soup) - Thai chicken Katsu The Tree Star cocktail was also really good, super unique. It's not for everyone tho, my coworker thought it was the weirdest drink ever but I enjoyed it. Would definitely come back again!

    Albacore crudo, wings, & crispy rice salad
    Natalie B.

    Such a cute place with great views of downtown from inside or from their patio seating. Waiters were friendly and gave us popular options since it was my first time here. I would reorder the wings and cocktail next time definitely. Heres what we tried: BANGTAO TEA: Blue Ice Potato Vodka, Sweetened Thai Iced Tea, Coconut Cream ALBACORE CRUDO: Ginger scallion oil, pine nut crispies, fresno sambal, cucumber CRISPY RICE SALAD: King oyster mushrooms, sambal, onion, herbs (v) NAM PRIK WINGS: Herb salad, peanuts, lime

    GREEN PAPAYA SALAD
    Catelin D.

    The papaya salad has unmatched flavor. With a profile this special & unique, it is hard to compare with anything else on the Downtown Culver strip -or at least that side of the street. They give you fresh blankets if seated outdoors and I hope to try something else soon since this has been my go-to for a while. This is spicy btw.

    Daisy A.

    The food at Piccalilli was delicious, the service was fast, and the staff were attentive. I recommend trying them out if you're in the area, especially during Happy Hour!

    Dessert
    Shanelle S.

    Still a cute spot with friendly service, but the portions have gotten smaller since I've last been here. I like the Nam Prik wings and the Yaki Udon. The chocolate cake we got for dessert was also tasty. The Thai iced tea and mango lassi mocktails were lackluster. Indoor and outdoor seating available, and single occupant restrooms available indoors. Credit cards accepted. There's paid garage parking or metered spots.

The charcuterie boards here are perfection, do not sleep on it and be sure to savor the onion jam. That said, one of my favorite things to get is the roasted root vegetable plate, that combo with the yogurt and honey is some fine dining action, though you should absolutely skip adding the sausage. Getting a flight is usually the way I go, but then I often end up getting a full glass of my favorite from there. Such a gem in DTC and I hope it stays forever!

    This is a great place for after work happy hour in a casual ambiance. I came here for birthday…read moredrinks with my family before we headed to dinner nearby. The location has a spacious area filled with a variety of wine options. I picked a Bourgogne Chardonnay from France ($36). We came on a late Monday afternoon and, lucky for us, they have a bar special on Mondays: No corkage fee! They also have Happy Hour-- Monday to Friday from 3-6pm. The Chardonnay was divine! I would totally return and purchase another bottle. We also ordered a charcuterie board and took advantage of their happy hour special for $20 (pick two-- one cheese and one meat). We opted for the 'Humboldt Fog' Chèvre as our cheese option and the Bresaola for our meat option. Both were delicious, but the chèvre was truly exquisite. We shared one charcuterie board with five people and it was enough; however if you're on the hungry side, I suggest two charcuterie boards for five or six people. In addition to meat and cheese, it comes with crackers, some pickled veggies, onion jam, candied nuts, whole grain Dijon, and apple slices. On the left side of the venue you have your variety of wine options; on the right side, there's the bar and some tables, plus a small area with other snacks for purchase that pair nicely with wine or beer. They even sell the Torres truffle chips! My only complaint is the service, unfortunately. The lady at the cashier was super friendly, however the bar tender was not so welcoming. When he came over to our table to open our wine bottle, he didn't greet us, smile, or say anything. He took our bottle and opened it and then asked who was going to taste. Not sure if he thought we didn't speak English since we were speaking another language when he came to our table, but overall, we all noticed his attitude and thought it was rather unwelcoming. Because of this experience, I rate this place a 4/5, however, everything else was great!

It's such a great spot to sit outside on a sunny day. They also have an amazing lunch prix fixe menu, plus happy hour and daily specials that are honestly hard to beat. Since it's a French restaurant, we had to try the escargot. The texture was great, it was super flavorful, and dipping the bread into the sauce it came with was chef's kiss. I got the Bistro Burger, and wow it was so good. The Wagyu beef was juicy, the bun was soft and fluffy, and everything just worked. I know you don't usually go to a French restaurant for the fries, but these were genuinely some of the best fries I've ever had. I also found out they have bottomless mimosas and weekly jazz nights, which immediately made me want to come back. Overall, I had such an amazing experience here. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. I will 1000% be returning.

Service here is great though so I would maybe come back for happy hours drinks and small bites. The best thing we tried was the Wild Mushroom Tarte & the Creme Brulee. The tarte was the only item that was perfectly seasoned and balanced. It's rich, for sure, but it's a small plate so it's not overwhelming. Other dishes: - Soupe a l'Oignon Gratinee: burnt cheese that taste burnt in a bad way, onions not well caramelized (they seemed rushed), and flavorless broth - Boeuf Bourguignon: beef was tender but flavor fell felt, needed some salt to enhance the flavor - Moules Frites: perfectly crispy and seasoned fries, mussels were cooked well, but the broth needed salt At one point our server took the salt from our table and brought it to another, so not enough salt seemed to be a theme with their food. We came for DineLA and I'm glad we got to check out a place we hadn't gone before. Ambiance wise, it does remind you of a Parisian brasserie. But at $100+ I wanted a great meal and it was just okay.
