Healthy grain bowls at a really cute colorful truck with friendly employees! Had the Crenshaw Meatballs (Pork & Chicken meatball, coconut curry, jicama slaw, peanuts). The jicama slaw was refreshing and delicious and I love the GRAINS! Chewy and delicious. The meatballs were alright, they were slightly too salty for me and the coconut curry was nearly nonexistent and was more like a milky coconut sauce. But it was still good, the ingredients were balanced well and the bowl had a variety of textures and flavors. Portions seemed small but it was just right amount and carried me 'til dinner! But I thought $10 for a food truck bowl was too pricey. (Spotted: Thurs Lunchtime outside of work near Culver City. La Cienega/Blackweider Rd) read more

Pico House - a person holding a bowl of food - Food Trucks Near Me

Pico House has an amazingly unique concept, and I hope it starts to get some hype. What we have here is some HIGH quality meats, grains, and other fantastic ingredients you'll find in each of their bowls. I had the short rib bowl and was absolutely delicious. The meat was perfectly smoked tasting like bacon while all the rest of the ingredients extremely complimented each other. You can really tell that each person on this truck takes a lot of pride in what they're cookin, and that's clear based on the product that they're serving. Before enjoying my bowl, I was fortunate enough to try their onion rings. I gotta be honest, before receiving them I was expecting a standard onion ring. After the first bite I've already declared these as some of the BEST onion rings I've ever had. The trick is they pickle the onions first. It's so simple, but so genius. Unlike anything at a fast food joint, these o-rings are pretty light and not greasy at all. The dip that came alongside was also amazing (and orgasmic), to say the least. It's similar to a sour cream with other flavors. I'm not sure exactly what was in it, but I had to take it home, but actually didn't, due to being too busy dipping my finger in it to finish the rest. Make sure to try their desserts too as they have a pastry chef on the truck! The Pink Lemonade Cream Puffs seem to be their signature, but unfortunately they weren't on the menu during the time of my visit. I did however try the Stumptown Tiramisu and PB&J cakes. Both are succulent, moist, and a must try. Pico House is a great option for lunch and dinner that's not only healthy, but also delicious. Office Managers or Event Planners, I highly recommend getting these guys in for some catering. read more

You can stop looking for a food truck to hire: this is it. I was looking for a healthy, tasty, with a somewhat traditional Korean option food truck to hire for my daughter's first birthday. I had a span of people to please: old white people, old Korean people, middle aged and twenty somethings, health conscious people, gluten free people, foodies and kids. I didn't think this truck existed. After another option fell through, I learned about this one in a roundabout way (why is it so hard to find what food trucks are out there? Is it me?) Philip was easy to deal with and super accommodating. I needed to nudge him a bit sometimes for the documents and estimates, but after a nudge, which was likely after or during a busy weekend he had, he responded immediately with what I needed. He didn't pressure or upsell- I didn't even know I could add options until I asked. We opted for the short ribs and the grandma's pork, and the charred eggplant and screw it, three desserts (no Costco cake for us after all - no regrets). My MIL loved it and so did her friends. I consider that a WIN! They even ordered more than once so they could try both dishes. I feel proud of this and it's because of how amazing this truck is. When their colorful truck showed up, everyone got excited, and I'm pretty sure the party next to ours was super jealous and thought to themselves "why didn't we think of that? We lugged all this stuff here. Dang." We averaged about $20/head for 75 people. For the quality and tastiness and large portions, this is amazing. The folks are friendly and completely professional. We sent them off an hour early and they were in no rush to leave. They packed up our leftovers (donation is another option), cleaned up their truck, and were all around aces. Five million stars. Do it. Hire them. Keep this truck rolling. read more

Pico House - Hired them for my daughter's dol. They even impressed my inlaws and their Korean friends. - Food Trucks Near Me

There's a new food truck on the block and it's the most colourful one I've seen yet! Great concept -- whole grain bowls made with love. Three of the food truck owners are former Bestia cooks so that's definitely a plus in my book. You know their food is going to be amazing having that kind of background in food. Came across Pico House at the DTLA Art Walk last month. We were greeted by this lovely lady who was a joy to speak with even if it was just for a brief moment. The first thing I noticed on their menu is the 'Ugly Fruit Drank.' I was so intrigued as to what kind of concoction that was. So, get this -- you know how when you go to farmers markets, you see all the wonderful produce but obviously (and rightfully so) overlook the ugly overripe (yet still delicious!) fruits? Well, Pico House uses those fruits to make amazing drinks such as the one they had that night at the Art Walk-- Blueberry Drank! You can either get it sparkling/carbonated or flat; we opted for the latter. Super delicious. Just wish they served it ice cold/with ice. Their menu is very simple offering just five different bowls and two sides. My boyfriend went with a large Robertson Short Rib ($13) which had beef bacon, broccoli, swiss chard, radicchio, tomato chutney, and crispy shallots. I, on the other hand, ordered a regular-sized Grandma's Pork ($10) which comprised of gochujang braised pork shoulder, chrysanthemum, garlic confit, green kale, and sesame vinaigrette. I was wow'd by both bowls. Also, I LOVE that they use a base of whole grains rather than just plain rice for these bowls. It's more nutritious and filling that way! I actually was more a fan of what my boyfriend had ordered -- the Robertson Short Rib Bowl. It was flavourful and the meat was so very tender. Don't get me wrong, the Grandma's Pork Bowl was spectacular as well! It had the perfect amount of spice and sweet to it. They also piled on the green kale. So good, so filling! A bit pricey, I gotta admit, but I can tell they use high quality ingredients so there's that. I'd try some other things on their menu if/when I come across this food truck again. Amazing. #findtheyellowdoor read more

I don't usually give 5 star reviews, but I'm going to make an exception in this case for the following reasons: - The food is good! - The truck looks great. - The folks are nice. - I don't want to be the first to give them less than 5 stars. I had the Grandma's Pork bowl. It was very tasty. Big grains and healthy veggies, with some delicious pork and onions in between. I also had the pickled onion rings. They were good, but maybe had just a tad too much vinegar. I can't wait until they come around again. read more

I rarely do the food trucks at work because their sooo $$! Glad I made an acception today! Pickled red onion rings with Basel sour cream dip! "Ugly fruit" drink made from funky farmers market fruit, sparkling water and mint. Outstanding!! (Pico House food truck) P.S. One of the owners (an adorable young woman) was working the window and was simply charming! With food this delicious, and that kind of personal friendly service, this truck is sure to have continued success! read more

Pico House - Pickled red onion rings with an "Ugly Fruit" refreshing beverage. Fantastic!! - Food Trucks Near Me

I work in Culver City and have multiple food trucks to choose from daily - Pico House is by far my favorite! The chicken meatballs are amazing, the lamb and short rib are also great choices, the side of charred eggplant is delicious. Overall a nice light, not fried or covered in cheese, flavorful food truck. Highly recommend & please come to Culver City every day! PS - they have free dog treats too read more

Alums of Bestia brought us this deliciousness. Fresh, well cooked ingredients that are pretty healthy. Grain bowls filled with veggies and protein. Cost about $10 for a bowl. I've tried the meatball, short rib, and pork. I liked the short rib the best. Loved the onion (red) rings, too. Cute idea with the ugly fruit drink (made with the discarded fruits at farmer's markets that sell for cheaper because they're bruised). The guys running the truck are so nice, too! They noticed we were waiting awhile for our food, so they gave us free desserts! Their mini fruit popsicles (which sell for a $1!) and their decadent, sinful peanut butter chocolate pudding topped with berry jam and cookie crumble were too good! This could definitely be my once a week splurge if they come by the office that often. read more

Tried this truck in front of my work in Santa Monica. Saw the amazing reviews on yelp and obviously had to give it a try... Wow- I didn't know I could have such a great culinary experience eating at a food truck. This place is awesome!! Tried the Grandmas Pork bowl - So many yummy flavors! Portions aren't too big, but you'll definitely be content. Prices are reasonable for a food truck. Can't wait for them to come back so I try the short rib! read more

Pico House - Grandmas Pork :) - Food Trucks Near Me

We get a lot of food trucks that come in to feed us and I have my favorites. Pick house has become one of them today!its good that they had one of the owners outside asking if we've tried them before. After replying "no" she tells me that it's because they're new. Hahaha! Small menus are the best. You don't need much to be a good truck and they're definitely that! I got "Grandmas Pork" because you can always trust grandmas recipe and she didn't disappoint! There was a bit too much of acidity but it made it up for the good amount of savory pork. Had enough heat and sweetness to it and the grains cleaned off the palate. All in all a great truck that looks like a little home. Keep it humble lady and gents and good luck with the business! I hope you do well!! read more

Pico House - Grandmas pork - Food Trucks Near Me

Oh my goodness. This is hands down my favorite food truck and it's healthier! Whole grain bowls with veggies and protein. My favorite is the Crenshaw bowl (chicken meatballs, cucumber, grains, with a coconut lime sauce and no it doesn't taste like coconut). I've also had the short rib bowl. Both are equally as good, just depends on what you're in the mood for. The pickled onion rings were a new twist on classic onions rings served with a side of chive cream cheese. Even thought I'm not a fan of kimichi, the kimchi biscuit was flavorful, spicy, salty and sweet. The ugly drank was unique that day of peach, plum and basil; it was especially refreshing since it was a warm evening. Pico House, I hope you'll spend more time in DTLA area since you're always on the west side. You also have a kind crew of employees. read more

Pico House - Crenshaw bowl. Wonderful texture and flavor. - Food Trucks Near Me

Best food truck! Had the Union Lamb and it was yummy. Delicate and complex flavored lamb layered with couscous and topped with fresh tomatoes, cucumber and feta bursting with unexpected flavor. Delicious lime dessert was fantastic too!. Obviously made with carefully selected ingredients and cooked with flair. read more

WOW. Wow wow wow. I am super impressed. I wasn't even hungry but this truck was parked outside and my coworkers kept coming up with these delicious pickled onion rings, so I had to get some for myself. I ended up also getting the Union bowl as a veggie option - eggplant instead of lamb. This is seriously the best preparation of eggplant that I've ever had. Little chunks with just a great char, thoroughly cooked but firm and not slimy. The flavors in this bowl were amazing, and with farro on the bottom it was so filling. And since there was a sign for a kimchi cheddar biscuit...I mean, how was I going to pass that up? I figured I could share if everything was too much but after trying it almost wanted to keep it to myself. They were also so generous to give me 2 desserts on the house. One was the pink lemonade cream puff and I can't remember what the other was but it has sort of a lemon meringue taste and looks like a cream puff also. They are both incredible. I seriously cannot wait to try more next time they are here! You guys rock! read more

One of the best food trucks I have ever been to! They have really delicious and flavorful bowls and the workers are lovely :) I've tried their Grandma's Pork and Robertson Short Rib as well as their eggplant side and loved all of it. Grandma's Pork (my favorite!) - looks like just a lot of kale on top at first but actually a lovely balance of pork in the bowl. The gochujang and all the dressing they add with it is just mouth watering. Robertson Short Rib - the crispy shallots are the perfect combination with the robertson short rib - definitely a little bit more grain than I was expecting in this particular bowl Charred Japanese Eggplant - if vinegar isn't your thing I would really steer away from it. I personally love vinegar but it definitely had a larger amount of vinegar than I was expecting. read more

Pico House - Food Trucks Near Me

Pico House is my favorite food truck and I always look forward to the dates they're scheduled to show up. I highly recommend the short rib bowl - the meat is always tender and perfectly smoked, while the taste of all the other ingredients really compliment each other. Their grains are delicious and you can't really go wrong with any order here. I left a negative review a few weeks ago when my team made plans to have lunch together there but the truck didn't show up (happened a few times and we were pretty frustrated), but after interacting with the team (they're all very friendly!) and grabbing another one of their bowls it's pretty hard not to give these guys anything lower than 5 stars - they're the best food truck out there. read more

I enjoyed the creative pairings behind each item that they offer and the customer service. However, I thought it was a bit overpriced relative to the portions provided. read more

This food truck appears periodically at my local climbing gyms (LA Boulders and Hollywood Boulders) - people seem to really enjoy it, so I finally caved tonight and tried a bowl. I got to speak with one of the owners, too - super nice guy. He suggested the Union Lamb, and I loved it so much that I had to drop a note on Yelp about it. It was a really good amount of healthy, hearty food - great for a post-climb recovery dinner. The meat was tender and delicious, the flavor was lively and rich, but not overwhelming. I'd definitely get it again. The grains were cooked to perfection - not too hard, but with a nice texture to compliment the juicy lamb. I have to try the grandma's pork shoulder and dessert next time. Definitely give it a shot! read more

Full disclosure: Not as health-conscious as I probably should be, nor as much as many of the reviewers for this food truck. That said, this bowl was super fantastic! Service was so super friendly, Gemma was so kind and welcoming. That alone warranted my business. My food (Crenshaw Meatballs) came out so fast, too. Which is perfect for not having too much time to grab food for lunch time. Got back to my desk, and the bowl was full of flavor. Decently priced for a gourmet food truck, and perfectly sized for a lunch meal. I most definitely will be going back whenever they're around. P.S. After reading about them on their website, I seriously need to try one of their desserts. read more

Tried Pico House for the first time today. Really enjoyed my Grandma's pork bowl and eggplant side. Surprisingly filling this little grain bowl and super delicious with sophisticated seasoning and balanced taste. Quite impressed. Hope to see the truck return to Santa Monica often so I can try the lamb, short ribs, meatballs, and veggie. read more

Tried this truck on a lark and I'm glad I did. It was just parked there when I got downstairs from work and the name literally says nothing about what kind of food they serve (should be called "Pico Grain Salad Truck" or something like that, but better-sounding), so I had to take a leap of faith and try the Union Lamb with a Japanese eggplant substitution. Flavors exploding in my mouth. Grains so satisfying that it makes me doubt their healthy-ness (but they are just grains, so they're probably pretty damned health). Juicy tender lamb chunks. Eggplant grilled just right (not hard, not slimy, slight char). And the harissa-based sauce and pickled bits bring it all together perfectly. Still don't get the name, but this joint makes me proud to live on Pico myself. read more

Too delicious!!!! For real, I've tried almost everything on the menu and this truck just kills it. I especially love love love the Robertson Short Rib, Union Lamb, and Pickled Onion Rings! Oh and the eggplant!! Also, the desserts amaze me. The staff is so friendly and passionate about what they do. 5 stars Pico House!! I will be back!! read more

Pico House - a bowl of noodles and a drink on a table - Food Trucks Near Me

I hired Pico House to cater our annual company holiday party - and there's no doubt in my mind they deserve FIVE STARS for their service and food. From start to finish, the Pico House team was professional, easy (and fun!) to work with and accomodating to our company's needs and wishes. To begin, I sat down with the entire Pico^House team to dream up a custom appetizer menu that eventually WOWed our party guests. At the party, we also had the Pico House team serve their regular bowl menu and amazing, melt-in-your-mouth onion rings. Our holiday party was over a week ago, and people in the office are still talking about the food. It was THAT phenomenal. We wanted the Pico House food truck to come to the party (it's beautiful, colorful and we knew it would add a "cool factor" to our party) but unfortunately, the gathering was all the way up in the Hollywood hills (narrow, steep, winding roads). Of course, the Pico House team came through and made it happen--they were creative and committed to getting the food truck to the party and they made it happen! I can't stress enough how effortless and awesome it was to work with the Pico House team. A special thanks to Chris, who we worked with extensively to develop a finalized menu/budget, food schedule, etc. Chris was extremely responsive over email and accomodating to our needs. Thank you, Pico House!!! We are your #1 fans. read more

Saw the truck parked near my work, and decided to give it a try. Very friendly as funny counter person, and the truck looked great. Nice design and fun,vibrant colors to celebrate their brand. I ordered the Grandma's Pork, and wow is it amazing! Their menu offerings have such a unique arrangement, with very healthy options. The juice sample I tried was also fantastic! If you ever see these guys in your area, definitely stop and get their food!!! read more

Not often in LA, but made a point to come try out Pico House, followed them a while back on IG and they looked fresh, healthy, and fun! They didn't disappoint! Awesome and unique idea, wholesome, healthy and high quality foods available in each bowl and tasty treat! Great Food, Great People, Great Ideas, and Great Aesthetics. read more

Omg! First of all, the customer service was friendly and on point. The interaction felt seamless and genuine. I ran into their truck after a intense heated workout at corepower yoga. My body was craving something with meat, vegetables and peanuts. I ended up ordering the Crenshaw Meatballs and it had everything I needed, unknowingly. I really didn't know what I was getting myself into and I loved it. The portion was perfect, the meat was tasty and the vegetables were refreshing. I also got the dirty fruit drank. Very interesting but good. I just wish the cup was bigger lol. Great food truck! I recommend it. read more

This truck showed up for lunch outside my work on Eastham in Culver City and I thought I'd give it a try. I had the lamb bowl. It was delicious. I loved that it was a unique concept, healthy (not deep-fried), filling and delicious. I really want to try the other bowls and hope they'll be back. read more

Impressed by a grain bowl! So much so, we went back for seconds! We got the Robertson Short Rib and the Meatball bowls. Though they sound and look completely unassuming, both were well-thought out. The flavors balanced... sour, slightly sweet, spiced...The textures contrasting, soft, crunchy... hot grain topped with warm spiced meat and cool pickled veggies and crunchy roasted nuts. Did not expect to find James Beard worthy food from a food truck! Really one of the best things we've eaten in awhile. The service was also fast and friendly! read more

So so good! It's really refreshing (literally) to find a food truck that uses a food amount of healthy components such as veggies and grains. The meatball curry dish was so tasty with great pickled veggies to help balance out the bowl. I felt just great after I finished it which is rare to say for food truck food! The people were all super nice too. I hope they come around my neighborhood more often--but they're worth a special trip as well. read more

Pico House was at a live art event so I decided to give it a shot~ Had the Roberston Short Rib. It was so flavorful and the meat was cooked to perfection an extremely tender. But the best part was, I didn't even feel bad for eating because I knew it was healthy with all those veggies and whole grains. I felt amazing after! I even convinced my friend who was hungry to try some and she ended up finishing in half my bowl. everyone was so friendly and patient. amazing experience and amazing food!!! Ps: the truck is also so vibey, fun and colorful. I love it how it is decorated. Keep up the amazing work!! read more

#1 Food truck experience in LA thus far. The dishes are wonderful, creative, and most importantly DON'T BREAK THE BANK! I was torn between the meatballs and the lamb. Got the lamb. Best decision of my life. Goat cheese, mint, harissa, mint, veggies, and succulent lamb. To boot, the girl I ordered from was crazy nice and helpful. I absolutely loved this. Please come back, again and again! (In front of Steelhouse on Eastham Dr. in Culver City) Great! read more

Not even done with my bowl and had to write a raving review by my third bite. Ordered the Union Lamb, but substituted my protein with seasonal veg eggplant. MOUTHWATERING N' DELICIOUS! First time I've ever seen farro on a food truck menu and wha? eggplant? I mean c'mon when has that ever been offered as a truck veggie option. So pleased with the fast friendly service. A woman waiting for her order mentioned she came from Redondo to eat. I don't blame her. Amazing job chefs! read more

I never leave reviews but this place was so delicious. Came to the art walk in downtown LA w my boyfriend and we got dishes to sample from several of the food trucks (hot bellyz & crispy Cuban) but nothing compared.

We finished with a delicious little pumpkin ice cream pop. I would definitely recommend! read more

I climb at Cliffs of Id in Culver City and my friends and I get so excited when I see the Pico House truck parked outside. I can conveniently grab a pre/post climb meal and even super-size my bowl to make awesome leftovers for the next day. I've only tried the short rib bowl so far and the combo of steak and grains is packed with savory deliciousness--this bowl is something I now really look forward to getting for dinner every other Thursday of the month. And I have to mention the seasonal pumpkin cream puff from October, which was amazing and only wish it could be offered year-round. Gemma is also the sweetest, so of course she makes the best original desserts! Loved meeting some fellow original-east-coasters. Everyone is super friendly and are damn good at what they offer. Rock on, Pico! read more
