I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. I got the Dan Dan noodles and loved the texture. Maybe too much sauce. I also had the chilled pork and the cabbage which was the vegetable of the day. Service was fantastic. Restaurant was very clean. Overall, I would absolutely return.
Coming back to this place after 8 years and it’s just as delicious and popular as when it just opened. Dishes we tried this time: Beef noodle soup, Wonton soup, Dan Dan noodles, wood ear mushroom side. 5⭐️ all around. Compared to authentic Taiwanese restaurants food here is lighter, for example, their beef noodle soup won’t put you in a food coma, which is a huge plus for me. Dan Dan sesame-peanut sauce noodles were very tasty, and again had that lightness to them. And wood ear mushrooms with cilantro just stole my heart! Will definitely be back to try their rice dishes.
It gets pretty busy even during the week but for good reason. Everything we ordered was a hit. My partner ordered the beef soup and we shared shrimp wontons and pork potstickers. The dan dan noodles are what stole the show - even my partner was eating off my plate. These noodles are perfection! Thick, creamy, and the cucumbers add a fresh taste. Portion sizes were just right and we left feeling like we had a nourishing meal. The service was extremely friendly and our hosts explained the wait times clearly.
Pine and Crane is delicious. This restaurant serves traditional Taiwanese food in an American setting. Although I live 40 minutes/1 hour away, Pine and Crane is worth the drive every time.
The Beef Rolls and Three Cup Jidori Chicken are incredible and the flavors are fantastic. However I've had a minor issue with the consistency of the Beef Rolls at Pine and Crane. Sometimes the rolls are overloaded with hoisin sauce, sometimes the texture of the pancake had a grainy texture. Out of the 3 times I've had the beef rolls, they were never exactly the same.
The Minced Pork on Rice is an excellent dish for children and a safe choice for adults.
The majority of items on this menu are great and everything is reasonably priced. Parking is a bit difficult at this location but I am still able to find parking every time I go. The staff are helpful and occasionally take some time to clear the tables for your next dishes. I love this restaurant and I highly recommend Pine and Crane to anyone that is craving asian food.
The flavors are great!! Love our first time here! Hopefully will be back.
Came on Wednesday night, waited about 30 min total.
It’s pretty authentic Taiwanese in their aesthetic and their flavors! I’m impressed!
One of my go to spots in la to eat at and recommend. The dan dan noodles and spicy shrimp wontons are on my list of food I can't get enough of. I get this place to go often but going in and eating it in person is even better. I'd recommend getting the chili oil they sell to go - amazing on all dishes.
The service here has always been great - they are checking up on you often and crack jokes with the guest, which gives me a homey vibe. I also love the pricing, I think it's fair for the amount of food that you're getting. Always a treat eating here!
The food was really good. The service was great. They have vegan options.
Thanks Tracey for taking care of us today! Love her food recommendations and how she went above and beyond to make sure we feel at home.
Delicious spot for Taiwanese food. The passion fruit Taiwanese beer with boba was so yummy and unique! The peanut salad was just peanuts, the Dan Dan noodles were great, the shrimp wontons were also yummy, and the scallion pancake was also good.
Glad I stopped by. The cashier took note that I was interested in dumplings, and a different staff member brought me out some of them to try while I was waiting for my Beef Roll order. They did this despite being super busy during lunch hours. Food tasted great and was a good value, considering the area. Very welcoming, clean, and cool atmosphere. Would bring a date or family here. 👌
