    vegetable egg rolls!
    Charlzetta W.

    My favorite go to for comforting, healthier, flavorful, Chinese cuisine. Everything I've had here tastes soulful, whole, and fresh like homemade. Today I wanted a healthier option for dinner and as usual I'm never disappointed. The seasonal mix stir fry was piping hot freshly made and perfectly seasoned! they were cooked but still had slight crunch and substance. The mixed grains were a perfect match for these. The egg rolls are my guilty pleasure, so crispity (yes crisp-ity spellchecker) crunchy and comforting Mmmmm good. I had plenty left overs for tomorrow's lunch! I usually order by phone for pick up, but today I just walked in and ordered and in less than ten minutes I was walking out with my order. Sorry no pic of the Thai Tea, I slurped it down while waiting and reading the bio of the celebrity patrons on the wall. Anybody heard of Lil Litty? Anyway, ORDER from here when you want good, wholesome, flavor and comfort Chinese flair.

    Absolutely love this place. I've never had anything gross from this place. The menu is like no other Chinese restaurant. It's like Chinese food infused with the hood and I absolutely love it. Thai tea be soooooooo delicious. My favorite item on the menus is Jerk Chicken Fried rice

    $27 shrimp fried rice with links added

    Back then in like 2013/14 this place was good and fresh , it's always been over priced but it was KIND OF WORTH it back then even tho the woman taking orders came off very rude. Fast forward to 2024 ... service is still bad, they are still way too over priced $8 to add a meat is crazy. Not only that the fried rice was old ! Visibly and it taste old. $27 down the drain I will not be returning . It taste like they mixed old with new.

    Beef and Broccoli

    I really don't understand the bad reviews. We came in around 7:45 given the hours said they were open until 9. When we entered she said they would be closing at 8, but would still serve us. Given this is a local spot, not surprising they would close early if it's slow (just keep this in mind when ordering!) They had our to-go order ready in like 15, and everything was AMAZING!! The kung pao chicken and the fried rice were the highlights. Definitely worth checking out!

    The food here is pretty decent but considering the price It's hard to order for yourself or for a family. Almost every dish costs at least $15.00 including soup! When I go to a Chinese restaurant I like to order a variety of items of items but this place makes it hard as 4 dishes can easily cost upwards of $80 I got the broccoli shrimp and it had a decent flavor however I was not impressed as the shrimp were very small ( (size of a nickel)) and overcooked. I have gotten bigger shrimp from other places at a lower cost. I also was not impressed because they gave me a ton of broccoli with about 10-15 small shrimp This dish was not worth $15.95 for me I also Tried the beef and broccoli and while they also gave a lot of broccoli on this dish this one actually a decent amount of beef.. however i wasnt a big fan of the texture! Overall I would eat here if someone else paid but I wont personally be speeding my hard earned money here until the prices decrease

    I've been coming to this location for over 10 years. The owners are so kind. The food is always delicious.

    My wife treated me to dinner at Piccalilli for my birthday. It's been on my list for some time, so…read moreI was really excited when we pulled up to the restaurant! I was blown away by the service. We were seated quickly in a hip and classy, but very casual sitting area outside, and our server was extremely kind and helpful with menu questions from start to finish. Drink-wise, I ordered the frozen slushee, and it was delicious. For our food, we had the bread plate (delicious), green papaya salad (amazing balance of sweet and spicy notes), Brussels sprouts (on the spicy side, but so good), and potato wedges (great crunch, and the aioli was superb). We each got our own larger plate: I ordered the moo yang, which was absolutely terrific with a great balance of flavors. My spouse ordered the yaki udon and only had great things to say! The show-stopper of the night, however, was the s'mores ice cream. Order this. Just do it -- you'll thank me later! Plenty of parking nearby in lots, and so much to do in this area of Culver City! This will be our new splurge spot, as it's somewhat pricey overall, but *definitely* worth every penny. I can't wait to return!

    went here for my grad dinner and it was spectacular!! honestly, my FAVORITE spot in LA now! i…read morecalled an hour before bc my reservation didn't go through and i was able to snatch a spot--bless the heart of who said okay to me i was stressing during my commencement ceremony bc of this the food was so yummy. as a southeast asian, the flavors of each dish seemed strikingly similar to our authentic dishes and were all executed so well. there wasn't a single dish that my party of six did not enjoy. the papaya salad, moo yang & thai curry pork katsu in particular were my favorites of the night we took an uber there so unsure about the parking but its surrounding area was very lively on a saturday night. the overall ambience of the restaurant is perfect for any occasion. our server was SO kind and answered all our shenanigans without judgment. we felt so comfortable dining here. overall, im def coming back! you really can't go wrong with piccalilli as everything about them is top-tier. my new favorite gem in la
