"A Culver City food hall at 9355 Culver Boulevard that houses multiple food stalls and a rooftop bar; tenants include a fried chicken spot and a hand-roll specialist, and the market recently added two new stalls offering biergarten-style burgers/sausages and an AfriCali pop-up. The venue functions as a casual, multi-vendor destination with both quick bites and upstairs cocktails." - Rebecca Roland
"There are many ways to explore Citizen Public Market, one of Los Angeles’s best food halls. Swing in during morning hours and settle in for remote work in the market’s many nooks and quiet corners. Or, better yet, snag a seat for lunch at Uoichiba for a flight of hand rolls (some of the best in the city) made with dry-aged fish from Valley specialist Joint Seafood or Shaanxi-style noodles at Bang Bang Noodles. The post-work crowd will do well with fried chicken wings from Go Go Bird and a strong drink at Bar Bohemian located on the welcoming rooftop." - Rebecca Roland
"A weekends-only barbecue stall inside Citizen Public Market serves an adorably portioned cornbread prepared with beef tallow from brisket drippings and just a touch of brown sugar; the simple-seeming side blew the reviewer away with its rich, smoky, salty depth of flavor. When a side dish gives main-dish energy, it’s hard to focus on anything else." - Eater Staff
"A cafe and bar by Kelsey Maynor and Shakirah DeMesier now open Wednesday to Sunday inside Citizen Supply on the second floor of the Central Food Hall. Serves coffee, tea, cocktails, wine, and light bites, with a menu that focuses on spirits from Black-owned brands. Snacks include parmesan popcorn, jerk plantain patties, salmon patties, salads, sandwiches, and more." - Henna Bakshi
"Figuring out lunch with four sweaty friends in your car will most likely involve spreadsheets, side eye, and incoherent shouting about your last failed post-hike lunch. Cut your losses and go to Citizen Public Market. The new food fall in downtown Culver has seven vendors selling everything from plump bivalves and uni trays at Jolly Oyster, shrimp ceviche and carnitas tacos from Mexicology, and smaller versions of Pizzeria Mozza pies found at Pizzette. Once everyone’s got their desired meal, head upstairs and enjoy it all on the excellent rooftop space." - brant cox
