Piccalilli

Piccalilli is a stunning place - absolutely blew me away. Fantastic location with a beautiful patio, perfect for an evening out. The food is fantastic, with a great variety of flavors and spices, and the drinks, especially the mezcal, are strong. Highly recommend a night out in Culver City and getting the brussel sprouts and the hamachi collar here.

Absolutely blown away by Piccalilli! From the moment we walked in, the experience was seamless and welcoming (and has been for the past 3 times I have come in). The service by the GM, Adolfo, and the AGM, Diogo, was warm and attentive. They were genuinely passionate about the food they serve. Now the food—WOW! Every dish was an explosion of flavors. The ingredients tasted fresh, the presentation was beautiful, and the flavor combinations were next-level. I highly recommend the brussels sprouts, Nam Prik chicken wings, green papaya salad, katsu! They also offer Happy Hour, which has great deals and great drinks! Piccalilli is officially a new favorite. Whether you're a local or just passing through, don’t sleep on this gem—it’s a masterclass in hospitality and culinary imagination.

Happy Hour crawl is what we have been up to lately. Culver is a place rich in Happy Hour spots all within walking distance between restaurants. Piccalilli was our day’s adventure. 5pm-6pm Monday to Thursday. 4pm to 6pm Friday to Sunday. It is a hipster, fusion Asian spot that serves a modern take on familiar South East Asian cuisine. Today I had the chicken wings, the pork jowl, rice and cocktail called Bangao Tea. The pork jowl $10 - has that slight sweetness to it, there is a level of smokey caramelized flavor while the sauce is light soy and has a slight tartness savory flavor to it. It reminds me of the Filipino style bbq from the streets of Philippines. The pork jowl dish will need a rich base to be appreciated. The Nam Prik chicken wings is sweet and had a slight spiciness to i

I had low expectations for this spot simply because Culver City isn’t exactly known for anything culinary worth mentioning, but yeah, this place is GREAT. We went on a Sunday evening, got right in. The $10 martinis were strong and delicious. We then ordered some “custom cocktails” and the bartender came over personally to ask us if certain changes to the drinks would be ok. She showed an immense amount of care for what she made us, and it showed. Absolutely fantastic cocktails. The food was also really great. Highly recommend the cheeseburger and the Brussel sprouts. The pork jowl was really good too. To top it off, the service was impeccable. Will be making this my Sunday evening spot from now on!

Really good fusion restaurant. It was delicious. Family style sharing restaurant. We got a lot of smaller dishes. The papaya salad was amazing! Recommend the brussel sprouts and wings also. We tried a few of the drinks. Some were hits. Some were misses, per our taste. I'd recommend 2-3 dishes per person at the table.
