What was once a random greasy spoon now has a pedigree. New owners come from Le Bernadin, et al. Doesn't look like a diner, unless you squint down the bar that once held toast and eggs. Now, martin... read more
It makes sense that a company who started selling food in the out-of-doors would settle on an indoor-outdoor space for their permanent location. There's a big patio, and the inside stays airy with ... read more
Kogi, hands down, started the food truck trend in L.A. And those crazy kids have opened an actual store, no wheels. Bright, bold colors, an homage to their color-coded trucks. The location is rando... read more
Is it groupthink? Borrowing? Whatever it is, 2010 is apparently year of the salad/sandwich concept. This one does seem to take its cue from a rather popular concept Downtown, but hey, why mess with... read more
Excellent, straightforward addition to the office lunch break scene that turns Culver City into a foodie zoo every afternoon. Focus is on the freshness and seasonality of food offerings. Apparently... read more
Pitfire Pizza is a pretty decent collection of three restaurants around town; Pitfire Artisan is meant to be the shining jewel. Decor is less CPK and more industrial-chic, with an open kitchen and ... read more
Culver City's main drag is home to one of L.A.'s best restaurant rows. This particular joint might be the most elegant; luckily, not the most expensive by any stretch. Authentic bistro with traditi... read more
Korean BBQ's typically a low-budget, cornered-away affair, often hidden in the recesses of strip malls and Koreatowns, waiting to be found (or: already discovered) by their respective town's in-the... read more
Santa Monica’s popular beer and burger institution has opened—to much hype—in the Helms Bakery complex. The cavernous spot has 72 taps, plus wine, and a classic crowd-pleasing menu. Owner Sang Yoon... read more
It’s all-natural, organic, local hippie dogma with a side of celebrity spotting: Chef Akasha has friends in high places. It’s a bobo addition to Culver City’s big-time restaurant scene. Not the bes... read more
You might think it’s all about the salads (made to order). You might think it’s about the soup (made every day, in-house). But no. It’s the desserts. Peanut butter sandwich cookie. Carrot cupcake. ... read more
There isn’t a best-of list in the country Fraiche isn’t on. French food (boudin noir), Italian food (agnolotti), and a delightful combo of both (passatelli with chicken) on the menu. Cr... read more
Winos' nirvana where all of their copious vintages are available by the glass. Excellent concept liquors one-up in an effort to obscure Ikea furnishings, cheese plates, and pain-in-the-keister crow... read more
Asking where we could 'tender some greens' without a prescription, we were pointed here for tasty, organic herbs and foliage that had us energized and glowing, rather than eating a pint of ice crea... read more
Culver's cool but would Han Solo eat here? Gastro-pub of Old School cool and egotistical service. Crammed with pretty people who had never heard of the Western city, drawn by so-so overly rich "I'm... read more
We love working with this great little South Indian joint of dreamy décor, dosa delights, and oh-so-much sambar. Recently renounced vegetarianism to sling meat dishes. Giant plasma TV kind o... read more

Adventurous? Try the wasabi mayo slathered ahi pizza at this stylish eatery in the Helm's Bakery complex. Gives good sign, but almost dark enough to blind us. Desserts rock hardest; green tea chees... read more
