PINE & CRANE DTLA is a casual Taiwanese restaurant located artfully designed by Preen in the South Park neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles. This location follows up their original, far more compact restaurant in Silver Lake “and aims, as ever, to bring their guests delicious Taiwanese fare in a comfortable, modern setting. They are passionate about what they do, and take pride in preparing their food using simple, fresh ingredients.”
“In addition to familiar favorites from the Silver Lake location, DTLA features dishes specific to DTLA, still offering a variety of small plates, traditional cold appetizers, dumplings, noodles, and rice dishes. Along with an extensive tea menu, Pine & Crane also features beer, wine, unusual whiskies and specialty cocktails.”
Standout dishes are the Dan Dan Noodles with sesame-peanut sauce, cucumber and cilantro ; Beef Roll with 5-spice beef, hoisin, cucumber and cilantro; and Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken.
They are currently open every day, with all day service running from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Breakfast Hours are 8 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and Lunch & Dinner Hours are 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Producer Andy Harris provides the salivating overview of Pine & Crane DTLA based on his recent dining experiences there. They really know hospitality and the staff is well-trained and helpful.
