    Tomato curry
    Karen T.

    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!
    Marissa M.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We came for a double date and our server was amazing! He was extremely patient, kind, and helpful as my fiancé and i had never been here before Everything is tapas style and tends to be on the spicier side but we loved it and honestly had no problem with the heat! I do wish it wasn't so dark inside but i also understand that it's the vibe they're going for. All in all everything was delicious and we'll definitely be returning!

    BRUSSEL SPROUTS
    Luke G.

    Has everything you could want out of a west side spot from moody vibes and being in an amazing plaza area. The food is super super good clean and well elevated. My one gripe with it which might be simple a personal opinion is it needs a bit more spice all around but other then that I think the level of quality is pretty up there so I think it all comes together super well. The service is pretty well paced and very knowledgeable too about everything on the menu. Love a place that opens up with allergy questions and they checked that box. Brussels sprouts are the sleeper pick on this menu

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!

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!

The food is excellent with a twist - not just traditional Korean fare. Even my fusion-hating husband adores this place. So far everything we've had has been pretty tasty. Favorites include the sweet onion dip, grilled bass and broccolini, prime rib cheesesteak, and mushroom noodles. My daughter loved the tuna crudo so much we had to get her a second order. Both the tuna and fried chicken kimbap were pretty good, and I appreciated the smaller rice proportions. Yuzu lemonade has good flavor but I would enjoy it more if it were fizzy. For dessert, I recommend the salted caramel coconut pudding over the burnt cheesecake, which was still good but had a texture that reminded me more of a New York cheesecake than the creaminess I typically associate with a Basque cheesecake.

We arrived early for our reservation time but were seated within minutes.

We also ordered the Basque cheesecake to go, for our dessert. Salad was yummy and tangy and light and refreshing with a healthy dose of cheese on top. My meal was delicious but it was another 15 minutes until they brought out my husbands order, as well as the sweet potato side. There was a gentleman working, who seemed like he ran the front of house; he was very apologetic about the wait and up until then, was very good at checking on us and making sure we were taken care of. He was a lot more attentive than our actual waiter who never even greeted us after we sat down. Just came up to our table to see if we were ready to order; honestly our waiter seemed a bit hurried and manic. Anyhoo the food was good but was overshadowed at the end, due to the long wait.
