    I'm grateful for a Taiwanese spot in Silverlake. It's a nice change of pace and adds some diversity to all the beers, burgers and tacos in the neighborhood. The way it's set up is pretty cultural. It reminds me of some hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurant the way they have metal utensils at each table. It's almost like a self-serve system to certain tools which is pretty common. I haven't drank water out of metal cup in a long time, so that was nostalgic too. We tried a variety of dishes to get a fuller understanding of their menu of what this place has to offer. I was really looking forward to the beef roll because it's usually one of my favorite dishes, but this one was disappointing. I define a good beef roll as one that's a good mix of sweet, savory and refreshing. The meat makes it savory and the veggies are supposed to counter it make the whole dish feel light. If someone disagrees with me, please share your thoughts on what a beef roll should taste like. The one from Pine & Crane was drenched in sauce. I could not taste the meat or the veggies and the whole thing tasted like a stick of sugar. The mapo tofu was on point, but this is quality you can probably make at home. The flavor profile was very similar to that of stuff you'd get a grocery store. The three cup jidori chicken came recommended, so we tried it. The flavor is very pungent and goes well with rice. Overall breakdown Service: 5 Vibes / Location: 5 Food: 3

    Dan Dan Noodles with no cucumber
    Maansi S.

    I love going to Joy in Highland Park so when a friend told me Pine & Crane is a sister restaurant that also has the Dan Dan noodles, I had to try. My friend and I headed there close to opening time so we were seated immediately. They had the AC pumping which was much appreciated The food itself is amazing! I've had the Dan Dan noodles several times at Joy and had to have them here. Will definitely come back if ever looking to dine in Silverlake.

    Popcorn chicken

    Popcorn chicken- 5/5: Each piece was fried well and flavorful. Beef roll- 5/5: I appreciated the meat didn't have tendons and wasn't overly sweet like other places. The amount of sauce was perfect. Dan Dan noodles- 2/5: The sauce was primarily sesame sauce and a bit flat tasting. Could use another spice to give the dish a bit of variation. Tasted better when I added some chili oil. Pan fried pork buns- 4/5: The outside bun was done well and meat was good. I was expecting some soup in there like this dish typically has, but other than that it was good.

    Wonton noodle soup and seaweed salad
    Joseph Y.

    Taste: 4.5 Value: 5 Service: 5 Came here for a casual dinner this week. Had the seaweed salad, wonton noodle soup, and a local beer. The salad and noodle soup were excellent. Good flavor, chewy noodles, and fresh dumplings. Lots of variety on their menu. Casual environment, which is clean and orderly.

    Dan Dan Noodles

    Tried Pine & Crane once a while back but in downtown and I forgot how good this place is. Got seated quite quickly but this place does get packed quick! Standouts were the Dan Dan noodles and the Garlic Pork Belly. Honestly, great pairing. Satori was so sweet and made the best Passionfruit Green Tea! Need to come back and try everything else!!

    Dan Dan noodles- savory and delicious
    Evie D.

    We've been here at least 30 times and we are never disappointed no matter what we order. I need to commend the owners for running such a tight ship. Even when it's busy, they pace out the seating and the food without acting stressed. I especially like the wonton soup. I always ask them to hold the noodles and add more bok choy, and they kindly comply. The broth is savory and comforting, and the wontons are plump and tender. The peanut salad is one of the best things on the menu IMO. The crunchy peanuts are mixed with cilantro, spring onion, chilis and a delicious dressing. Yummy and definitely addictive. My husband loves the beef roll and Dan Dan noodles. The scallion pancakes are usually crisp and delicious.

    Wonton Noodle Soup, Beef Roll, Twice Cooked Pork
    Rebecca N.

    LA staple, can't go wrong - affordable (~$20-30/person), generous portions, tasty and hearty food. The closest you'll get to good, pretty authentic Chinese food other than the SGV. Would advise coming before 6pm to beat the crowds - came around 8:30pm once, and there was still a long wait! Food comes out quick once you do sit down. Recs: - Beef roll - Wonton noodle soup - Twice cooked pork - Pan fried pork buns

    Francis D.

    PROs: - One of my favorite restaurants!!! - The dan dan noodles and beef roll are HIGHLY recommended - Staff is super nice! - Chilli oil is a must buy CONs: - Parking is really difficult in this area

    Dan Dan Noodles
    Anna W.

    Not traditional Taiwanese food at all, at least compared to what I'm used to. The dan dan noodles were pretty soggy and lacked the firm texture I'd expect, but they were still the best dish out of everything we ordered. The wontons were also soggy, and the wrappers were much thicker than normal. The three-cup chicken was good, but I wish it had more of that basil flavor. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with the food, especially given the expectations, but the interior was a vibe and the service was fast.

    Pine & Crane is a little casual eatery with a relaxing and easy-going ambiance contrasting its tight-knit and bustling location. The classic Taiwanese dishes like Dan Dan noodles, chili oil wontons, beef pancake rolls, beef noodle soup, and scallion pancake all tasted delicious! I liked the fluffyness of the beef pancake roll which was really comforting. The peanut sauce of the Dan Dan noodles had a strong kick, and the fresh cucumbers and textured noodles balanced that out. The passion fruit tea was a nice refresher for the highly flavorful meal.

    Minced pork rice, probably the best thing on the menu
    Truman W.

    Silverlake is an odd place. The vibe is restless hustle and bustle; the streets are narrow and full of potholes (a gentrification work-in-progress); the people are predominantly young Gen Z's who take this all in a stride while queuing up for trendy instagram cuisines such as ice cream tacos and Michelin-recommended Taiwanese pan-fried bao. The food may not be the cheapest or most authentic, but it's trending in social media. Pine & Crane strives to be authentic Taiwanese comfort food. It falls way short in that regard, but the social media buzz and Michelin star keep the crowd coming nonstop. Line is long but moves swiftly, thanks to an efficient staff. We ordered 4 items, my favorite being the minced pork rice (flavor spot-on). The scallion pancake has almost no scallion; the pan-fried pork bao has no broth or crispy shell; the beef roll has too much cucumber and no flavor -- I don't think the Michelin tire company people ordered these before awarding their star in 2025. Like most bucket list items, not likely to return or repeat.

    Cris K.

    My beef rolls were quite good and my Jidori chicken was very tender, while flavorful. Maybe I'm spoiled as an east coaster but the food was standard Taiwanese fare; at least for me. Given Los Angeles lack of a Taiwanese food scene, I can see why this place holds a large audience and a strong customer base. With everything said, I feel the price tag of this place is what stood out to me as a restaurant that holds a Michelin store. They do not compromise on quality and taste while retaining the prices they do. And for that, I commend them.

    Dan Dan Noodles
    Leo B.

    Ordered takeout from Pine & Crane and overall had a really good experience. The Dan Dan Noodles are honestly so good. The noodles were a little clumped together, probably because it was takeout and maybe they prep them ahead of time, but the flavor was still excellent. Definitely one of those dishes you could eat all the time. Smashed cucumbers were great too, as always. I ordered online through their website and the whole process was smooth. Food was ready quickly and already waiting for pickup at the front counter. Parking though... yeah, it's tough. Especially during peak hours in Silver Lake. But usually you can eventually find a spot somewhere nearby. Prices feel very reasonable for the quality, portion size, and taste. Would recommend to friends and I'll definitely come back again.

Cucumber and pomegranate salad (5/5) - it was fresh, crisp, and very well flavored with the fresh herbs. Ghormeh sabzi with rice (3.5/5) - flavor wise it was delicious, it reminded me of my grandma's ghormeh sabzi. Kidney beans were a bit undercooked. Rice was fluffy and well cooked. Tahchin with chicken (3.5/5) - flavor was good, I think it could have used a bit more seasoning and the rice was more "custardy" than I am used to. Blood orange tart (3/5) - the tart itself was yummy but the blood oranges were quite bitter. Our meal was quite expensive which I completely understand given the quality of the ingredients they use and the fact that they are small business. With that being said, I'd probably only come back here for wine and small bites, not a full meal. But I think Voodoo Vin is worth trying at least once.
