Food Culture LA

We continue to love this place!The workers are so kind and friendly!!!! So happy they have beer. Stuck with just Birria this time and continues to hit! Ate in and inside is very confy and clean.

I'll admit the Gram influenced my decision as I was craving Meditterranean, but the Hubs preferred Italian. So naturally, we agreed to check out Food Culture LA! (Note: there are only just a few street parking spaces up front. )From the exterior, there's an interesting mural on the wall and a long outdoor patio to the side. The inside is very clean, so we chose to eat inside. The cashier was very helpful. I ordered the Gyro Mix Plate with Gyros, Steak and Chicken,it turned out to be a really great portion. The Hubs ordered the Spaghetti Clams Alle Vongole and we both loved it!We'll definitely come back to try more!

Food halls have been popping up all over town lately and depending on what's on offer and how good the food and the service is, it can go either way. The fact that this place has Italian and Mediterranean food leads me to think there these recipes come from a mixed heritage. Location: Corner of Carson Street and Western Avenue next door to Saigon (Pho restaurant) and across the street from CarsonWestern Plaza. Street parking only, if you can find it. Food: The restaurant you're looking for is called The Green Olive and there is such a large menu of offerings, I had a hard time making a decision as there is also Italian food with their own menu. I was a little confused when I was given a Mediterranean menu as well. I went with the spaghetti clam alle vongole with a side of garlic bread. The portion size is enough to feed 2 people. There was plenty of spaghetti (maybe too much) and I'm quite sure there was a whole can of clams (Win!!) in my bowl. I would have preferred a thicker sauce for the main dish, but that's just me. Plenty of garlic too, so bring those breath mints with you before you go back to work. The garlic bread was hot, garlicky, buttery with a crusty top. Couldn't find fault with that one at all. Service: The servers were polite and accomodating, but really need some more time in the service sector. When I asked for extra napkins, I got one that was stained with some kind of fruit ( beets?) on it. While you could also order online or in person, there were 2 kiosks you can also order from, however, 1 of them wasn't working already. Summary: Parking will be an issue during peak times as it's all street parking and it seems the neighbors have had issues with other customers patronizing other eateries using their lot. Chose wisely. There is seating inside (tables and counter with stools) and outside, They offer catering and you can order to-go as well which might be a good idea if you can't find parking. They also offer paninis, salads and mediterranean food, which I need to also sample. Credit/debit/ cash are accepted also. Thus far, not a bad impression for a first visit. I'll have to come back later to try out the paninis or the mediteranean menu items. Happy eating!!

This is an amazing hole in the wall fast food place the size of a walk-in-closet with 3 separate extensive menus - Middle Eastern, Mexican & Italian - with surprisingly good food that is cooked freshly right in front of you. There is no wait service to speak of; you order at a counter & they call your name for pick up when it's ready. Best for takeout. They have dozens of items on the menu.

Delicious food very friendly staff and service. Choice of Mediterranean & Italian cuisine. We chose Mediterranean for dinner as the Italian kitchen was closed. They also have an outdoor popup kitchen called LA Birria. Saving it for next visit

I had the Olive Tree Italian Cuisine menu. I had garlic bread with a sampler appetizer with mozzarella fritta and the chicken tender. The chicken was so crispy and delicious. I also had the Louie Louie Salad and let me tell you it's an explosion of savory flavors. I chose a premium pasta dish: Braised Short Ribs PappardelleThis was amazing. The ribs pulled apart like butter. Highly recommend this dish. The customer service was on point, the cashier Belen and cook Armando were offering options and giving me their opinions in regards to the food.

What a nice little place that serves good food. My friend and I had lamb chops that was cooked really well and pasta with clams that was not short on clams. You know what I mean? For sure a place to try who is looking for a mix of mediterranean and pasta choices. We got lucky though in finding a parking place in front.

Birria tacos here at night? Not sure when the tent goes up but these tacos were fire. I rolled up at 10:00pm and they were cleaning up but then happily fired the grill back up for me and made me and my wife some fire Birria tacos! Best part was the shell was crunchy and the meat was so juicy- you didn't need to dip this guy in any cup. 10/10

Omg! We just ordered from the Italian menu and everything was amazing! We've ordered the Mediterranean food and it's amazing too! You guys rock and your food is delicious!

The food was amazing! My girls loved the pink pasta, chicken tenders & fries. They devoured those!!! I loved the lamb chop & fettuccine. The flavors were everything. Will be coming back for sure & let's not talk about the amazing customer service, Emmanuel, Ulises & Armando you were amazing!
