Reviews for Pik Nik in Richmond, VA
Recent review: same name different place, not terrible but not good like the old setup. it's some kind of Asian fusion now,... before they had interesting dishes and cocktails. Old review: The name and logo art almost made me pass this place by but I'mglad I didn't. The menu at first seems a bit over wrought, and over ambitious with the use of "fancy" ingredients, but in thisrare case, Pik Nik pulls off the dishes superbly. We started with some house cocktails that were delicious and fun toexperience. All were well balanced and expertly prepared by a very knowledgeable and friendly bar tender. Draft beers arelacking, I think they only had about 6. Haveing tried multiple dishes, all were perfect and impressive in their composition,flavor, and presentation. I strongly recommend the burger. I have tried nearly every burger in Richmond, this place is onlysecond to the now closed Brux'l. Fish tacos were fresh tasting and spicy, chicken wings had incredible flavor, and thebroccolini was insanely rich and flavorful. Really an amazing addition to the fan. Read more
We hit the happy hour and that was great. The tofu and calamari were both delicious. The fried tofu had a hint of Taiwanese... night market snack which was delighting! Adding fusion into the equation, it was logical that the tom yum noodle soup and thebeef pho were yummy in an unexpected way. It would be even better if a changing table could be installed in the restroom just incase. Read more
Love the new food menu! Great location in the fan. Nice patio. They often have good music for dancing after 10pm. Try the wasabi... shots! Read more
I saw a photo on IG with the staff from Pik Nik and noticed that one of my favorite bartenders (formerly of WCP) recently joined... their team. While I already wanted to make a visit, this was an incentive to expedite the trip. I've read some of the otherreviews and have seen a few complaints about the service. We certainly did not experience any service issues. We arrived alittle before 3pm on a Sunday afternoon and were greeted immediately. We had water and a cocktail in hand within 5 minutes ofarrival. This place has the absolute best QUALITY happy hour in RVA. Their happy hour is everyday, not just weekdays, from3pm-7pm. I'm emphasizing quality because the food is fantastic and the bartenders know how to make a perfectly balanced craftcocktail. All appetizers are 2 for $10 during happy hour, but don't let the price fool you. The portions are quite generous andeverything we had was delicious. We tried 2 apps and then ordered a couple of other small plates to share. The prices areinsanely reasonable, even the non-happy hour specials. The atmosphere encompasses the epitome of RVA culture. Unpretentious andfun with so many decor intricacies to keep you entertained. This is one of those places that you can go back to a million timesand still see something new each time you visit. Thanks to the bar staff (Shelby, Brenna, Allie) for a stellar experience! Wedidn't catch the chef's name, but he did an excellent job. You have earned new, repeat customers! Read more
I visited for happy hour. The service was superb. Their drink prices were competitive and the $5 mojito was great. They also... have happy hour appetizers which included $5 stuffed sweet potato skins and $8 fried shrimp. Only complaint is that only threeshrimp came with the serving and they weren?t jumbo. I also thought they tasted a bit off, but I don?t eat shrimp very often. Iwill come back and try their brunch! Read more
Came here for Saturday brunch with a friend and loved it! All the food was fresh and tasty. I got the potatoes, which were... delicious. My husband got scallops which were also quite good and our friend got the salmon, which she enjoyed. Well seasoned,and the ingredients tasted very fresh. Their crème brulee was spot on!! Not too sweet, with a beautiful crackle! Definitelyplan to come back. The decor is very cute and charming, rustic and inviting. There is a good amount of seating, though no largetables, so this is more suited for smaller groups. Loved their plates and mugs! The entire place just feels very homey andcomforting, which suits the style of food as well. The service was wonderful. They're very friendly and helpful. We reallyenjoyed our brunch! Read more
Great cocktails and food in a great atmosphere. Don't wear a dress, the picnic tables are impossible to get into with a skirt or... dress on without being unlady-like. Read more
Food was delicious. So much flavor.. outside seating was great on a beautiful day. Wish there wasn't old rotting limes and stuff... under our table. They should sweep daily. Service started great but lapsed mid way. When you serve spicy food, keep yourcustomer's glasses full. Server missed out on us ordering more drinks. Price was decent for food. The Brussel sprouts wereeverything!!!!! Read more
