7.8
Kosher Asian fusion from a chef with NYC fine-dining roots, built around from-scratch bowls that lean Korean and Chinese — the bulgogi and crispy orange chicken carried the menu while the burger and rice sides lagged. The back garden with its Moroccan lanterns gave Pico-Robertson a rare outdoor dining option for kosher groups, though the kitchen's range outpaced its consistency across the full menu.

Ramen, Steak Bulgogi, Crispy Orange Chicken Bowl

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? It can work for a casual first date, but it's not a classic romantic pick. The vibe is relaxed and informal with a casual dress code. The outdoor patio with a firepit adds atmosphere in the evening, which helps. Noise level is moderate — easy enough to have a conversation. Best bet: grab a table on the patio near the firepit after dark for the most date-friendly setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Walk-ins were generally fine here, especially on weeknights. The restaurant was not on major reservation platforms, so most diners walked in or called ahead. For weekend evenings or if you want a patio table, calling ahead at (310) 817-6080 is a good idea. Not the kind of place that books out weeks in advance.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — the casual atmosphere and approachable menu (burgers, rice bowls, wraps) make it easy for families. The noise level is forgiving, so kids won't be out of place. The outdoor garden area gives kids room to move around. Gluten-free and vegan options available for picky eaters. Specific kids menu not confirmed online — call to confirm.
Is it good for groups? Yes — this was one of its strengths. The venue includes a large outdoor garden space that can host 200+ people and an indoor hall for up to 200. A private room is also available for smaller gatherings. They actively catered events and parties. For groups over 6, calling ahead to reserve space is recommended. Great option for celebrations and large kosher events.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes — a patio with an outdoor firepit, plus a large garden area surrounded by greenery. The garden can accommodate 200+ guests for events. The patio is dog-friendly. Specific details on heating or cover beyond the firepit are not confirmed online. The outdoor space was a major draw and one of the restaurant's standout features.
