Reviews for Pine and Crane DTLA in Los Angeles, CA
Downtown outpost of popular Taiwanese spot. Came here with a couple other friends on a Saturday night around 7:30pm and there... was a short line, but we didn?t have to wait too long. Metered street parking. Indoor and outdoor parking available. Creditcards accepted. They do serve alcohol. It?s good for small groups though they did have an indoor table that fit one largergroup. The popcorn chicken was a generous size and was very crispy. I would get that again as well as the Dan Dan noodles. Ialso did like the beef roll, which came cut into 4 slices. The shrimp wontons came in 5 and were decent. The Taiwanese sausagesticky rice was alright but I wouldn?t get it again, nor would I get the egg and chive pockets. The dessert mochi had bothpeanut sprinkling as well as black sesame. I think there was too much of the dusting and not enough mochi, but I did enjoy thedessert. The waiters were all really nice.

Came in for dinner on a Saturday evening at 5pm and we were able to get a table right away. They do not take reservations. Order... food at the counter and then they bring it out to your table. All the food came out very quickly, within 10 min of placing ourorder. All the food tasted great and the shrimp wontons were my favorite! Read more
We ordered food to-go from the DTLA location as we saw some vegan options. The pickup was easy and the food delicious! It had... such a wonderful vibe. The high ceilings and large outdoor space created a out-of-the-City feel. I look forward to dining-in oneday soon! Read more
Very authentic Chinese cuisine with clean and fashionable environment. Nice interior design with great quality food. I would... recommend their beef noodle and minced pork rice. Their deserts are also very delicious but one person might not be able tofinish it. Parking on the street is available. Read more
Wow?. This place is just too amazing to put into words. In my opinion, better than Din Tai Fung (take this as you will, I?ve... only tried Din Tai fung twice and at the same location, so it could be a location thing for me). Either way, I was expectingPine and Crane to be good but definitely not THIS good. The prices are not bad at all for what you get. It?s a cute aestheticopen space in DTLA - the entrance is super big and open like a garage door and there?s outdoor and indoor seating. There?sstreet parking you can find in front for on the side/behind the block. Free on Sundays. I shared with a few friends since wewanted to try everything and everything was so good. We got the Dan Dan noodles, the beef rice bowl, beef roll and shrimpwontons. The noodles were intricately flavored and had peanuts sprinkled over it, the rice bowl was really authentic anddefinitely not made with anything less than 100% quality. The beef roll is wrapped in a scallion pancake and it wasn?t overlysalty ? The whole meal was just so quality, so flavorful and was above and beyond expectations. The shaved ice for dessert(classic) was also really great, definitely enough for four people to share. They are a pretty authentic Taiwanese restaurantand I would say this is a great hangout spot for large groups of people or a casual lunch with a friend. A+ experience!! Read more
Friendly staff, great vibe and amazing food! Pictured, Dan Dan Noodles, Beancurd Clamshell Bun, and Bok Choy Potstickers.
Great food > Typically prefer spicier Chinese / Taiwanese, but Pine & Crane beat expectations! > Didn't realize how much... creativity and upside there was in an updated take on Taiwanese home-cooking, but wow, it's great! Read more
Friendly staff, they?re allergy/restriction/vegan aware, and the food is phenomenal? super fast too! We had most of our food... within 3 minutes of sitting down during the dinner rush. Wow. Highly recommend. Read more
