SO good! And so reasonably priced! My in laws are Chinese and these kind of dim sum spots are the…read morekind we search for. We are so used to paying $80-$100 for maybe 6-8 dim sum, so coming here was such a treat. The dim sum is actually so good; well made, well cooked, and fairly large. The dim sum service is faster than the normal menu service. There were only like 5 actual servers, so it was so hard getting someone's attention for water, ordering noodles, requesting chili oil, vinger etc things like that. If you're new to dim sum houses like this, you'll need make sure you have a list of things you know you'll need so that you ask the servers once you have ones attention. The restaurant itself can hold a lot of people! The outside might look a lil outdated but the inside is a vibe. We'll need to come back!

This seems to be one of the few traditional dim sum places left in Chinatown. When I say…read moretraditional, I mean carts being pushed and people putting plates of food right in front of you and then asking if you want it?!?!

They had one outdoor table available, which worked out perfectly since we had our dogs with us and could enjoy lunch together outside. It was a hot day, so we really appreciated that they brought us ice-cold water. We ordered har gow, siu mai, custard buns, pork buns, salted egg buns, and radish cake. The beef pan-fried noodles weren't particularly flavorful, but they were simple and definitely helped satisfy our hunger. The dim sum itself could have used a little more seasoning, though adding some chili oil would probably help if you enjoy a bit of spice. Overall, it was an average meal. If we hadn't had our dogs with us after the Firecracker event, we probably would have opted for a nicer sit-down dim sum spot.

You can also order from the take out menu. BBQ Cha shiu bao ($1.20)- super good. Large. A little different, they don't use brown sugar to marinade the meat but nice and soft. Pineapple custard bun $1.80- super super good. Large. Pieces of pineapple in the sweet custard. This bun is a winner. Dan ta ($1.80)- deceivingly good. It looks like it'll be dry and not good. But the custard is soft, the crust has not texture. Whole duck ($34)- the roast BBQ is super good. Crispy skin. You see the duck fat is melted with flavor. A little bit on the salty side. But I don't think I've had a duck like this in the 626. I would only come for the baked goods and roast duck. Beef chow fun $13- I would skip this dish. It's not very good. Soggy noodles. No wok hei.

I don't know why this place is popular, maybe it's their dining options, which wasn't available when I came in the morning. Entrees are available after 10:30am. But the dim sum...how can one make such bad, soulless delicacies that are suppose to instead, show craftsmanship and flavor! I've had many takeout dim sum, and this is by far one of the least favorite locations pretty much ever. The price is cheap for a reason.

Really authentic dim sum takeout spot with a good selection of classic items. We picked up egg tarts, egg rolls, shui mai, har gow, pineapple buns, and BBQ buns. Overall everything tasted really good, especially the dim sum items and buns. The egg tart was flaky and fresh, and the prices were surprisingly good for the amount of food we got. The only miss for me was the egg roll--it came out pretty soggy. The menu is a little more limited since it's mainly focused on takeout, but there was still plenty to choose from. Store was clean and service was fast, which made the stop easy and convenient. Only thing to keep in mind is there's no dedicated parking. We ended up using either street meters or a nearby lot for about $4. Overall, really solid spot for quick and authentic dim sum takeout at a very reasonable price.

There was also complimentary rice and jasmine tea. My favorite dishes were the bean curd with oyster sauce and Singapore rice noodles. The bean curd was nicely hot, but I wish the cubes were larger. I also liked how the rice noodles had a hint of peppery spice. The other dishes were solid, but I didn't try a few. For example, my table finished the pork chop with spicy salt the quickest. Portion sizes were adequate for me, but I wish there was slightly more given that our table included many people. In addition to our group, an even larger party of people dined in such that they filled up more than half of the restaurant. It can definitely be a popular gathering place for lunch at times. Service was good as all our dishes arrived in a timely manner, and the staff was good at helping us rearrange our many dishes.

Yes we could've went to a restaurant specifically for dim sum but gave this a try. Seated very promptly. We arrived after the lunch rush about 1:30pm. BBQ pork fried rice was very good except a few pockets of extra salty clumps of rice. Maybe needed an extra toss orr two but very good pieces of pork and even amount of vegetables and egg. Pork and shrimp shumai was predominantly pork with barely any shrimp which made them dense and just ok. BBQ pork bao were steamed pillows of goodness. Very flavorful and soft. Restrooms are clean.

I recently ate at Yang Chow in Pasadena, so I was pleasantly surprised that my coworkers wanted to…read morego to the original location in Chinatown. We had two orders of slippery shrimp, kung pao chicken, eggplants with hot and spicy garlic sauce, juicy steamed dumplings, and pork fried rice. Overall, both restaurants in Chinatown and Pasadena provide great food quality. The ambience was cozy with dim lighting. Our round table had a wooden rotating tray. They have pictures of celebrities and politicians who've visited their restaurant. Service was relatively quick, but there was a 20-minute wait for the dumplings. Valet parking can get difficult when the lot gets full. A few cars entering the narrow driveway had to reverse out of the way to let others leave. The kung pao chicken was very tasty with a good amount of spice. I noticed that the slippery shrimp didn't taste as spicy as the portion from Pasadena. Reviews say that the spice is adjustable. Regardless. it tasted great as it came right off the pan. The pork fried rice was delicious with a savory flavor that didn't seem overpowering. I thought the juicy steamed dumplings were the weakest dish out of our whole order. There wasn't enough flavor and heat from the broth. I didn't try much of the eggplants, but they tasted adequate for me.

Had a long layover in LA after my flight to San Francisco got canceled, so instead of sitting at…read morethe airport for 6+ hours, I decided to finally check out Pine & Crane in DTLA. It's been sitting on my saved list for a while, and honestly, this turned out to be the perfect opportunity. The space itself is bright, clean, and welcoming with warm woody tones throughout. Casual setup where you order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. I had already looked through the menu beforehand, so the real challenge was narrowing down what to order for one person. I failed at that... and I'm very happy I did. Started with the Pig Ear Salad 滷豬耳朵. Braised thin sliced pig ears dressed with soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, scallion, and cilantro. OMG. So good. Tender, flavorful, perfectly braised, with that satisfying chewy texture done right. Also got the Fried Peanut Salad 五味花生 with garlic, cilantro, scallions, vinegar, and Thai chili. Super crunchy, bright, refreshing, and honestly addicting. I added a cup of the Hot & Sour Soup 酸辣湯 too. Organic tofu, beech mushroom, carrot, bamboo, woodear mushroom, and egg. Super comforting with a really balanced tang and peppery heat. Not overly thick or heavy like a lot of Americanized versions can be. Exactly the kind of soup you want during a long travel day. For noodles, I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵. Sesame-peanut sauce, cucumber, cilantro, crushed peanuts. Delicious on its own already, but I ended up adding some of the fried peanuts from the salad into the noodles and it became even better. Then the Three Cup Chicken 三杯雞 with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine, and Thai basil. I do wish it had a little more wok hei, but overall the flavor was still really comforting and savory. Extremely good with rice. Had a glass of Gewürztraminer alongside everything, which paired surprisingly well with the spice and aromatics. Their wine list leans more organic / natural wine focused, which felt very LA in a good way. Ended up sitting at a high top next to one of the managers and had a great conversation throughout the meal. She ended up hooking me up with the Traditional Shaved Ice 傳統刨冰 with grass jelly, red bean, boba, sweet potato balls, taro balls, brown sugar syrup, and condensed milk. I was already planning to order it anyway, and wow... I finished the entire thing. The brown sugar syrup was incredibly fragrant. Packed the leftovers to-go, and that ended up becoming my dinner after landing in San Francisco later that evening. Flight cancellation somehow turned into a really great food day.

HOW DOES IT WORK? They offer menu at the front when you walk…read moren into the restaurant. You would order and pay first, and then they'll give you a number stand. It is self-seating so you'll place the number on your table. They offer some utensils at the tables but it is also self service so you can get your own bowl, plates, utensils and water. FOOD I came with a large group so we ordered a good number of dishes. All the dishes were delicious, flavorful and above and beyond for what I find it to be more a fusion-Asian restaurant. I particularly liked their brown sugar milk team as it comes with boba and grass jelly. And their mochi was SO delicious. This would be a place my parents would enjoy a lot. PARKING It's in downtown LA so parking can be tough. There are plenty of paid parking structures nearby. WOULD I COME BACK? YES!

The ginger in it wasn't overwhelming and it was buttery. We parked in the structure next door where it was clean with abundant parking. Our parking was validated and the process was entirely digitized which I rather liked. The two of us sat on plush red cushion inside at a table meant for at least three people. I liked the interior and that it wasn't too busy. My boyfriend liked the color scheme of the space. We were checked on often which was very nice and welcoming of them. We left glad we had picked this place.

I was kind of frustrated because they don't have many sauces; the hoisin sauce is main sauce for everything. The popcorn chicken desperately needs a sweet chili aioli. But my biggest issue was with the environment; the were 3 girls who were extremely loud and disruptive. When I asked staff about the noise, they stated they were regulars and nothing was addressed. Multiple people kept turning around looking at them, and still nothing. In fact the male waiter vaped inside the restaurant with them. Very unlikely I will recommend or return.
