Modern Asian fusion with a lush patio & creative cocktails
"There’s a whole lot of everything going on inside their Culver City corner space - an airy dining room, a buzzing bar, a plant-filled front porch, and a menu crammed with dishes that pull from all over Asia and the American South. So naturally, Piccalilli was able to call a quick audible during the pandemic, expanding their patio onto Main St. and adding new items like smoked wings with mustard/Carolina BBQ sauce and ghost pepper. Hey, you’ve got a little extra space to sweat. Reservations available online." - brett keating
"When I first visited Piccalilli, they had only been open for about a month, and were still figuring things out. The space was great, and the cocktails were strong, but the menu - equal parts Southern and Southeast Asian, full of dishes like Thai banana hush puppies and shrimp & sweet potatoes - was in need of an edit. Apparently, I wasn’t the only person who felt that way, because when I returned recently, that edit had happened. The good news? They kept the best dishes, like the Thai chicken katsu, a solid version of the Japanese dish that’s also an interesting interpretation of Nashville hot chicken (thanks to a dollop of pickled Thai chili), and Brussels sprouts coated in Korean chili sauce and crispy canchas. With plenty of outdoor seating, and solid Happy Hour specials (including deals on smoked chicken wings, miso pork jowl, and crispy pig ears), Piccalilli is also a great spot to spend a socially distant afternoon. But as someone who edits for a living, I wanted to celebrate their decision to cut back. Sometimes less really is more. - JM" - the infatuation los angeles crew
"The casual spot in Culver City is offering a “Sweet Endings” dessert box for $49. Inside you’ll find an assortment of chocolate truffles and your choice of either a bottle of red or their “Netflix And Chill” cocktail set for two. Pickup only." - brant cox
"Launching a new Tuesday farmer’s market specials series, Culver City’s Piccalilli will rely on ingredients from the nearby downtown Culver City market; expect summer tomato takes and other rotating, casual Cal-Asian dishes every Tuesday night through the end of summer." - Farley Elliott
"The Culver City restaurant has teamed up on a limited collaboration to offer a Vietnamese coffee toffee date cake ice cream flavor; the one‑off runs through March 25 and will be available both here and at the partnering ice cream shops." - Farley Elliott
