Review #889

The Picnic Digital Food Court is a restaurant co-op that's modernizing the traditional food hall experience with nearly 100 partner restaurants in the South Bay (there's another location in Hollywood with slightly different restaurants). How does it work? 1) order in person or online (ETA provided upon order completion); 2) head to the location (bring your cell phone to pick-up order); 3) grab & go (check-in at kiosk & grab order from food locker). There's no "live" service provided since you're interacting with the kiosk, then locker.
To order for pick-up or delivery, you can either use their app: Picnic Foods or go online. The online form is inconvenient if you need to search for the restaurant because there's no search feature via restaurant name entry but you can search by categories: All, Dessert, Drink, Bowls, Asian, American, Breakfast, Salad, Seafood, Southern, Barbeque, Noodles, Vegetarian, Sandwich, Soul Food, Latin American (not sure about the app). I don't have any issues because I'm currently only interested in 1 restaurant: Toast & Yolk & it's usually listed as the top 3. If you're a newbie, it can get a little overwhelming if you're indecisive about what restaurant & what to do. I suggested combing through the website/app first & ordering from that instead of onsite since there's a calculated wait time, & sometimes it's longer than 10-15 mins.; my longest ETD was 25-mins.
Please note that Picnic Digital Food Court is not like the standard food courts in shopping malls. It's a lotta restaurants operating as ghost kitchens; however, this location has limited counter seating (only 4) should you choose to dine-in, & there's no restroom available. There's no parking lot, but plenty of street parking (watch out for time restrictions) with more spaces available on Hawthorne Blvd.'s island parking but you have to cross the busy street.
Highly Recommended: Toast & Yolk (my fav!; refer to Review #888).
