Piccalilli

“I come here often with friends and family. I love so many of the dishes! We usually split the papaya salad which is a bit spicy. The crudo is also veryyyy good. I love the miso pork as well! I ordered a sparkling wine too. It was delicious! It’s a bit noisy inside, so I like to sit outdoors on the patio usually.”

“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.”

“Lovely ambiance with friendly and attentive service. Love th patio seating with lively street view. Good happy hour small plates (Brussel sprouts & pork jowl) and drinks. Yhe cocktail was not overly sweet which was a lovely plus! Had the tomato curry with smoked vegetables that was delicious.”

“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 it. Just a little spice not enough to make you tear up. The serving was quite generous for the price. I had the Bangtao Tea cocktail. It has thar herby Thai Tea and coconut milk base mixed with a shot of vodka. It is good! Service was excellent. Our server was quite attentive. There was one 3% I noticed buried deep in my bill that says ‘Kitchen Love’. I could have easily overlooked the item and just sign away. I am not a fan of these fees. Like most people we’re already at the point of tip fatigue in California. I wish this was more visible , obvious and communicated up front. The happy hour trip - 2 dishes, rice a cocktail was a $50 affair. Other than that overall experience was excellent.”
