Restaurants in Culver City

“Absolutely in love with this place! 🍽️✨ The food is a beautiful symphony of flavors, and the atmosphere is just so warm and welcoming. The perfect spot for a cozy meal with friends or a special dinner. Every bite was a little piece of happiness. 💛”

“Such a delicious experience with friendly, kind staff. I recommend the chicken sandwich and also any of their bowls. All non-GMO and way too good.”

“Best Indian food 🥘 in L.A taste like made in home !!”

“Still takeout due to the pandemic. Order on tock.”

“We absolutely loved this restaurant! We went here for our anniversary and had the best dinner in LA. The service was incredible and the atmosphere was so special. Highly recommend!”

“Just finished a fabulous dinner at the DTLA location! We got the Block Bowl and a Combo plate with Brisket and Pulled Pork - everything was delicious, the service was really warm and friendly, and the whole vibe was great! We’ve been eyeing this place for awhile and will definitely be back!!”

“Great asian fusion food. Awesome for happy hour!!”

“Consistently delicious diner sandwiches. Could eat the turkey club every day of my life. It’s perfect. Curly fries are great too. They also do takeout and it’s super quick, would definitely recommend for a WFH weekday lunch.”

“Very tasty sushi spot with great service! The Uzumaki Plus is lovely and has many delicious pieces of nigiri. Every piece melts like butter in your mouth and they all have distinct flavors. The service is also delightful and very efficient! Definitely recommend!”

“Excellent Fresh Organic Options”

“I visited this place last time I visited my niece who live in LA. I tried their pizza. It was very good perfect. I also love Arabic fettuce salad and tried their coffee. Very friendly service.”

“Excelente food with unbelievable service”

“Also, Price points amazing.”

“The best cookies you will find in all of Los Angeles. Creative flavors, quality ingredients, and made by the best people around. Highly recommend”

“As most of old Hollywood fades away silently, this one is going out with a bang! please consider stopping by, and stepping back into the days of Frank, Dino, and the rest of the Rat Pack..... you won't be disappointed.... if you can't stay, take home a fabulous TV dinner, from the menu.... again, it's not to be missed.... but don't wait too long, sadly it won't last forever, and another treasure will only be matchbooks and memories😞”

“Definitely worth visiting. The signature ramen is so creamy, mochi noodles are great texture & wagyu mixed nigiri so so worth the price. Wagyu was so buttery & smoky. Uni & ikura are so sweet. So happy now that tummy is full. Will definitely be back to check out other dishes.”

“Really buzzing place in the centre of Culver City.

Enjoyed a fantastic meal sat out on the patio with excellent food, service all round fabulous vibe.

Thank you to all the team.”

“They have Guinness on tap and they know how to pour a proper pint”

“My favorite of the 3 ramen places in downtown Culver. This is a popular chain in Tokyo and the food tastes the same here as it does there. Very classic Japanese ramen, no gimmicks.”

“Elijah and the crew at Luna Grill are wonderful and nice! The food was delicious 😋 I’m definitely coming again! Thank you😊”

“I go to red chicks a few times a month. It's always consistently good and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles thank you red chicks.”

“The foods are amazing … i had the salmon creamy pasta and i liked it so much, the salmon with cherry tomatoes are very refreshing , porcini and mushroom are the new favorites , but the black truffle was the most unforgettable one , once you taste it, it seems you are watching a classic italian movie. The employees are friendly and very accomodating. The atmosphere itself makes you feel like home.”

“The breakfast / brunch menu has a good concept and good options. The merguez sandwich was good, but too oily. The fries were done well but too salty.

I wish they cooked the food with less oil and salt. Maybe I'll request that if I stop by to eat there again.”

“Delicious little chicken place. Great food, small portions—kinda. Lots of side, not much chicken. I ordered the dark meat 1/4 plate, $18+ for two small pieces of chicken. Really good chicken, well seasoned.

Chicken was juicy, potatoes golden, bread soft, sauces delectable (chili and garlic). Hummus was RLLY good, and I don’t even like hummus.

Service was friendly and quick, what you’d expect from fast-ish food in Culver. The bright yellow decor is friendly, airy. A nice spot to chat over lunch.

I’m a 20-something guy, so lighter appetites would probably be satisfied with chicken portions. TBH I will be back and ordering the same meal. I’ll just… drink a protein shake first, or something.”

“This place has great customer service even during a packed World Cup game. This is our neighborhood bar and we’ve rarely if ever had a bad experience.

Disregard the previous review that was freaking out about the chairs. It happened right in front of us and the person was just there to look at their phone, not watch the game, not engage with the other patrons, nothing. It came off as entitled and sad. I’m disappointed to see them leave such an uninformed review”

“I LOVE TACOS!!! And these are the best. The brisket taco and potatoe taco are off the charts delicious. The guac is also amazing.The staff is always super welcoming, offering ideas on what's new. I brought a friend here last week and he was blown away!! It's those brisket tacos. Don't believe me... get in and try them. You won't be disappointed”

“Excellent black mole! Everything is freshly made. Wait staff is very helpful and kind. Cute outdoor seating area.”

“I came here to celebrate an anniversary with my wife, and what an amazing dining experience. When you first enter, the decor and layout is very inviting. Once we were seated, our server had great energy. The cocktail drinks are very unique, and the tasting menu is absolutely delicious and an incredible best value. All dishes are small plates, so a 5 course dinner was perfect to share. Pro tip, get two different tasting menus so you have more items to share. The dishes are substantial enough that by dish 3 we were pretty stuffed, but every course was superior! Our server and general manager were incredibly attentive and made for a very memorable dinning experience. Thank you!”

“Amazing food! It wasn’t cheap but you really get what you pay for. I was starving so I ended up getting two lunch entrees and it was the perfect amount for me”

“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Cognoscenti Coffee on our interview date. Modern meets comfort with a hint of retro inside (and outside) Culver City’s Cognoscenti Coffee. Don’t let its small exterior fool you, because once you step inside you will be welcomed by a slew of cute bistro tables, industrial benches, and colorful chairs. But wait, there’s more! Veer to the right and catch a breath of fresh air in their somewhat secluded patio area. Whether you’re meeting with your bestie or having a writer’s meeting, you will easily be able to find a space to fit however many people in your party. Now let’s get to the good stuff! Cognoscenti’s beverage menu is comprised of the classics along with fun seasonal recipes in the mix. My drink of choice, the surprisingly refreshing Turmeric Latte. I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting myself into, but I’m very glad that my day to be adventurous was an enjoyable one with its perfect ratio of milk to spice. Hungry? Check out their selection of huge (and I mean huge) pastries to fill you up for breakfast or to hold you over until your group dinner in one of the Downtown Culver restaurants.”

“I love Simonette. The patio is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a cocktail and breakfast, lunch, or brunch. I’ve been there twice now and I can highly recommend the burger on the menu - the fried egg on top completes it! And the mussels in the light cream sauce are wonderful - especially with fries. A friend of mine ordered the fried Bronzino - the complete fish including the head - and she said it was delicious. There are great cocktails available and several wines and Prosecco available by the glass. The onsite valet parking is a bit steep, but there are many nearby options for parking in downtown Culver City if you don’t mind walking a few blocks.”

“Great service .. delicious good . Will be back”

“Loved this hotel. The rooms were really nice with great amenities, and the backyard and pool were amazing. I’ve stayed at many Hiltons, and this was by far the best breakfast restaurant menu I’ve had — you can tell they have a great chef. Every choice was excellent, and honestly I’d pick this breakfast over most trendy brunch spots. The servers were all very friendly, and Jesus G was especially welcoming.”

“one place uou can't ho wrong. Finally Indian fine cuisine at it's BEST. I highly recommend.”

“Fast, friendly service. Fresh, delicious dishes. What’s not to love?”

“Amazing food, great outdoor seating area with a European vibe and friendly, professional service . I highly recommend this place. Cocktails are great and desserts are delicious.”

“The food was very good, but they could do better at bringing it out at the same time”

“Best place to eat on the westside.”

“Great drinks, delicious food, the most ADDICTIVE CHIPS and guacamole- I promise you won't be able to stop at one order so walk your 25k steps before you make reservations! Our server was so pleasant and engaging and the entire staff that day 3/21 @6pm was awesome includingthe valet as we left! I forgot to get names, hence why I gave the date we were here:) I had the best quesadilla and my husband ordered a chicken and a carne Asada taco...DELICIOUS!”

“Great Pita! It’s homemade!”

“The Beef Sandwich is my favorite and it always comes out amazing! Made to order and I love supporting small businesses. The owners are so lovely and attentive to detail too.”

“Stylish. Good food. Fun place!”

“I attended the French Bistro class. It was amazing. The steak we cooked was much better than any steak I’d had before. The garlic paste topping and peppercorn sauce - wow! I also learned lots of little tricks to improve my cooking.”

“Delicious food. Generous serving sizes. Nice people. Chill place. Definitely will return and highly recommend.”

“Simply The Best.. I will be coming back for sure!”

“Great tasting food. Luz our server was amazing”

“Stopped by Carl's Jr. after a long day of doctor’s appointments and ended up having a genuinely positive experience thanks to Daniel, the shift leader. He was incredibly friendly, easygoing, and went above and beyond with his customer service from the moment we walked in. After chatting with us a bit about the day, he managed to bring some much-needed laughter and really lifted the mood. It’s always noticeable when someone treats customers with real kindness instead of just going through the motions. The staff overall made the visit feel welcoming and comfortable, which meant a lot after such a tiring day. Small moments like that can really turn someone’s day around. Big thanks to Daniel and the team for the thoughtful hospitality.”

“employees are always nice and hardworking; if you placed an order for pickup through any food app, be prepared to show them the order confirmation or just your id as they have had past problems with stolen orders”

“My brother and i will be there tomorrow by 8am, food was ok but the coffee delicious.”

“It’s very different .. they try to get you to use a machine to order .. I don’t like this ..cold . I prefer interacting with a person.. I don’t like the idea of a machine taking a persons employment.. the play area is very small not much to do .. we won’t be here much .sorry😩”

“I needed a little European fix today, so I decided to visit Des Croissants Paris. First of all I just finished devouring 4 pastries that were in incredibly delicious!!! Top ingredients straight from France! But what made my visit an outstanding experience, was how lovely and gracious the staff was including the owner. We chatted about Spain and had one of those moments of community that are so rare in this city. I highly recommend this slice of French heaven in the middle of Culver City”

“Good and delicious food…happy hour is great!”

“Wide variety of baked goods. They’re hit or miss, but pricey. The good stuff is great, and the bread is good. They have vegan croissants, which is awesome”

“One of the best breakfast burritos on the Westside in my opinion. Simple, fresh, and full of flavor. I also love the Dodgers decor throughout the shop. Definitely worth a visit 👌”

“Fun, singing, great drinks, friends….party til it closes”

“As most of you know trying vegan food is very new to me. Lately I’ve been on a tremendous weight loss drive so I had to be very careful what I eat and often times me very selective. But I have learned to enjoy it and today I got a vegan specialty from a cute little vegan protein bar. Right inside the gym I go to, LA fitness in Kansas City. And the young lady behind the bar was very pleasant and offered several suggestions as I let her know I just finished a very intense workout so I needed protein but I need to be very careful on the caloric intake. I tried the vegan peanut butter dream and let me tell you it certainly looked up to it stain. They were even kind enough to give me extra in a little cup on the side lol so I’ll be sure to enjoy it all day long this is a wonderful mix of almond milk, peanut butter, banana, Oats, and hemp seed and plant protein they are waiting for you to try the many other healthy options that I recommend highly!”

“Fantastic coffee. espresso or drip, they know exactly what they are doing”

“So much more than a bookstore with a coffee shop. It's a perfect cafe to meet up, get a unique book, do a work session, or catch one of the many events - it's a place with people that make you feel part of the community. It's a very unique spot where everyone feels invited and welcome.”

“Nele is amazing! She’s the sweetest, and also the Ice cream is to die for!!! We always come for ice cream after a concert! 💕 highly recommend! The vegan cookies and cream is bomb made with coconut milk”

“Great place for italian products and the sandwiches are devine!”

“My review is for the new thin cookies.
I went during the free thin cookie giveaway and bought the Dubai style chocolate cookie. $7 for 2 thin cookies. I got the brownie batter and it was great, falling apart but good. Taste wise for Dubai chocolate was also good. Cookie quality in terms of taste is not the issue. I love chewy cookies but I'm giving it 3 stars for value and also how my cookies stuck together by the time I got home, which was less than 2 miles, so packaging fail. The ladies working at the shop was nice and quick. But $7 for 2 filmsy cookie is a bit expensive in my opinion.”

“Muy buena y personal muy amable”

“Me encanto la comida !!!!”

“Love the food and the ambience! Relax and friendly ! The new one in Playa Vista is worth going even if you don’t live in the area!”

“Great place to hear live jazz. Food is great and a really nice vibe to boot! Highly recommend!”

“Our second time being there. Truly amazing experience. Food is absolutely outstanding, dessert is not as impressive. Typical pricing for testing menu is worth it BUT charging twice as much for ALMOST the same food and charging twice as much for valentine evening was not justified.”

“Staff is Awesome 👏🏽 Location is Great 👍🏽 Drinks 🍹 are Delicious 😋 Yummy 😋 Thank you, Scarlet Lady Saloon for allowing 🖤💛⚜️Who Dat N L.A. 🖤💛⚜️ to Socialize during Our Game Time. It’s also a place to socialize anytime. I will return 💃🏿☂️🖤💛⚜️”

“Great Bartenders with good service. A good local bar...also there's shuffleboard,pinball & pool.”

“A friend and I had lunch fresco style- patio area great! Superb service and food! The Lamb Chops were amazing! The Falafels were great— friend said they were super crunchy!”

“Went here to meet a friend for a quick lunch. Staff was friendly and helpful with the menu. They offer a decent amount of very interesting sandwiches , most of which can be made vegetarian as well. I believe there was one vegan sandwich also. I ordered the Giving Tree sandwich , it came on delicious homemade focaccia bread with spicy mayo, herbed turkey, cheese and arugula. What a fantastic sandwich. Everything tasted fresh and was sliced SUPER THIN. The bread was really good quality. Also they sell Zapps chips which I love. The voodoo flavor is the ultimate OG.”

“Found this place by accident as I was looking for parking. Went on a Friday night before 10pm. Great place for a drink after a long day of work. Not too crowded or loud. Will definitely come back.”

“We had such a great time at this cute little spot. We loved the coffees and smoothies. Cameron did an amazing job putting together an iced cappuccino with frothed milk. Never had that before and really enjoyed that. They also have Chagacino and I love that they have tasty mushroom coffee. We are going back soon!”

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food”

“Carlos is OP. Made the experience unique and was great at interacting and playing along when I made an odd request. I wish more of the staff was as chill as Carlos. Food good as always.”

“The wine and food. Great service and very friendly”

“The service was outstanding, Jurandir our server went above and beyond. The food was delicious, I highly recommend this restaurant. This is an outstanding traditional Brazilian restaurant.”

“From 9-11:30 most Monday nights, come to this small bar to see the miracle of the Hot Club of Los Angeles, an amazing 5 piece embodiment of Django Reinhart's 1930s jazz spirit. Their second set may start around 10:45 if you'd like a bit more room. No snacks, no food, no nonsense...just as good a band as you'll ever see in a space this small. Tommy will take care of you behind the bar. Guinness can, served in a glass, $10 in June 2026. Enjoy!”

“Thank you so much, Alex! I will definitely be reposting your business and supporting it. As soon as I’m back on my feet, I look forward to returning the kindness and paying the gift forward. I truly appreciate your donation and generosity. Wishing you a successful year filled with blessings, prosperity, and happiness. God bless you! 💖🙏”

“Their bagels are really good, I had mine with the lox spread… I loved it!”

“I really like chicken flautas very tasty dish not find it in another Mexican restaurant like who they make it here”

“If you have a chance to enjoy the Cambodian beef skewers don't pass it up. Forego all other farmers market offerings for the day and just go here. Everything they cook reliably delicious.”

“Excellent workin man's italian option in culver city. Fast. Easy to talk to. Wipe your tables down with no fuss. Big portions. Had the fettuccine penned with chicken and mushrooms. Wife had the meat lasagna, fantastic. Ceasars salad big enough to share for 2, maybe 3. Will come again.”

“Great coffee. Great pastries.”

“love the Guac! and the salsa! and the tacos!”

“Had my first date with my bf here about 1.5 years ago. Service & atmosphere were great and it was the only place that was quiet enough and had tables large enough for us to play the board game we wanted to play. That being said, the passionfruit boba was the worst one I’ve ever had lmao”

“This restaurant is so nostalgic to me, I thought they had gone out of business but realized the location on Inglewood is still open. Carne asada as always, out of this world.”

“This place is a standard in the area. Little Mexican restaurant in L.A.
Been going here for years and it's always good and fair. It's what L.A. natives grew up on.”

“Great food and service. Shout out to Jessica at the Gilbert/Mesa Arizona location.”

“Love this place. The fish is fresh and the option to build your own bowl is great.”

“Súper rico todo primera vez que lo probamos y súper crujiente el interior súper rico muchísimo queso el sabor 10 de 10 la verdad así me lo imaginé volveré a ir súper rico toda la comida las papitas fritas los aderezos y ami que me encanta lo picoso lo súper recomiendo”

“Soo tasty! I loved the OG Ahi Tuna. So fresh and the sauce on top was really good. Although I got my food to go, I’d eat there with the beer taps and all!”

“I got the Gryo pita wrap and it was delicious. Its a good sized wrap for an adult and came with a side of hummus and tahini along with fried pita strips. Will definitely be coming back.”

“They have the best brisket sandwiches I've ever had—juicy, tender, and packed with flavor that melts in your mouth. The only downside is that you’re required to choose a side to go along with it, which makes me wish I could just have the sandwich on its own.”

“so good, and the service was amazing”

“The manager Jay hooked it up right before closing time tonight. He was so sweet, friendly, and honestly made my night! Exceptional service and quality food. Thank you Jay 🫶🏼”

“WHY????? Why did they close?!? it was amazing! I had my 55th birthday celebration here. All the plants and lanterns are just outside in the elements. How do i get ahold of the former owners?!?”

“My dad used to take me here when I went to work with him as a kid. It was a treat. I dont live in culver city buy make sure to come here from time to time.”

“Found my new favorite Italian spot! Came in to try their Mushroom and Truffle pizza and it was delicious! The truffle oil was not too overpowering which was great. If you are a truffle lover look now further. Definitely will be coming back!”

“love the Guac! and the salsa! and the tacos!”

“Very good outdoor customer service!”

“Great tasting food. Luz our server was amazing”

“My sister and I ate at Olive Garden for lunch and our server, Marlon, was amazing from start to finish. He was very friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we always had everything we needed. His customer service is on point and he’s a really hard worker. We were so happy he was our server.”

“Carlos is OP. Made the experience unique and was great at interacting and playing along when I made an odd request. I wish more of the staff was as chill as Carlos. Food good as always.”

“Be careful, the food here is highly addictive because it is so darn good. Whatever you order, add a couple of blueberry biscuits as your dessert. They are amazing. The chicken is really great, as well. Best fried chicken I have had in LA, better than Roscoe's.”

“I go to red chicks a few times a month. It's always consistently good and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles thank you red chicks.”

“I visited this place last time I visited my niece who live in LA. I tried their pizza. It was very good perfect. I also love Arabic fettuce salad and tried their coffee. Very friendly service.”

“It’s a great dining experience that is not seen very often anywhere.”

“Great food and service. Shout out to Jessica at the Gilbert/Mesa Arizona location.”

“The food was very good, but they could do better at bringing it out at the same time”

“One of the best donuts (cruller) I have ever had! Got the Douglas Fir glaze (didn't want the cinnamon/sugar) & it was just ridiculous. Hot & crunchy on the outside, and soft & creamy on the inside - absolutely delectable. I'm drooling now just thinking about it!

I will definitely be back... 😋😋😋”

“Luis was super sweet and his service was amazing. He attended us with such sweetness and will be definitely be coming back because of him. For being the only server he did an excellent job and I really appreciate it.”

“I really love this restaurant it is one of my favorite go to’s, the customer service is amazing and it is very worth it to try some healthy snacks and build a diet.”

“Lomo Saltado at its best!!! Came here because of Tik Tok and it was delicious!!! Definitely am coming back and bringing friends i have to try the various combinations of bowls!!!”

“YUUUUM. This was our first time here (didn't know it was a chain) & it was delicious! We were seated right away and our server was super nice. She brought us our drinks and a side a shredded ginger. She recommended we eat it with our meal, by itself, or use it in our water! I appreciated her recs and choose to nibble on some and put the rest in my water.

We got the orange chicken and the stir fried green beans. We also tried the beef pancake. All items were generously portions and delicious. We would for sure return again!”

“Came here with a group of friends after someone recommended it, and honestly, it’s one of those places you might overlook at first. From the outside, it’s pretty low-key and not the most eye-catching, but once you walk in, the whole vibe changes. The staff welcomes you right away, and you can’t miss the wall full of awards—it definitely says something. The place itself is casual and not fancy, but the food and service really stand out. Everyone on the team checked in on us without being overbearing, and you can tell they work well together. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share and everything was full of flavor. Definitely recommend getting a mango lassi to balance out the spice—it came in clutch.”

“High quality matcha with flavor options for all, as well as a solid selection of desserts. Drinks came out pretty quickly. Didn’t get a chance to try the ice cream so will be back for that!”

“A must go-to place. So happy I stopped by here with my wife. Such a hidden gem. The food is perfection and the portions are generous. The five star reviews are justified. Will come back again!”

“Fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere. Tried for the first time with my daughter after her soccer practice. The smells as we waited for our food were enticing. Daughter's first time eating Peruvian. Took one bite and was so glad I suggested we try. Will be back.”

“Amazing coffee nutty flavor their Signature latte Is off the chain there Pistachio Ice coffee with there little extra ingredients Smooth flight spice ice coffee. I can't wait to try there Turkish coffee and Cakes.”

“First time in this establishment and I was greeted has a lot of Mexican culture. They take a lot of pride in their food and I would recommend this restaurant to anybody.”

“Loved it! All the dishes were amazing. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger. The service was amazing. Our server, Severan, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Wish we lived close by to visit again!”

“I tried Felix for the first time yesterday and went with a trio combo plate. I came in with high expectations, and somehow the food still blew me away. Fresh ingredients, great cooking and preparation, and also a fantastic attitude and friendliness overall. This isn't just the best hibachi I've had — it's the best food truck in LA, hands down. The crew is fantastic, and I can't recommend them enough. I'll definitely be back, hopefully also with my wife, kids, and more friends in tow to share the joy.”

“Corner taco stand. Simple yet delicious. How a true taco should be. Ordered asada & suadero. Both good but Asada was way better. I’m used to the suadero being deep fried in the oil but it seemed it was actually more of a broth. Suadero meat was then seared/ fried on the grill. Still good though but not Mexico City suadero tacos good”

“Some of the best ice cream I’ve had in awhile! Strawberry chocolate chip is very authentic tasting and the mint cookie is super minty. I also tried the peaches & cream and I ended up getting the hazelnut and strawberry. $7 for a split scoop, $13 for a pint. And the owner Sarah is super nice about giving samples. Will definitely regularly visit! Glad to see a non chain in the area.”
