LOS ANGELES | Pine & Crane is a small 40 seat casual Taiwanese restaurant in Silver Lake that’s modern in appearance but traditional at heart. It’s from owner/chef Vivian Ku and Taiwanese chef Allan Lai, and sees a short menu of authentic Taiwanese dishes being presented in a simple, modern space.
Ingredients are the heroes of the food at Pine & Crane, seasonal produce sourced from the family’s local Asian vegetable farm. This means that the vegetable dishes change frequently in order to showcase rare and freshly harvested items. As much as possible is made on site, and the attention to detail shows.
There’s signature Taiwanese dishes like Three Cup Chicken and Beef Noodle Soup, along with a variety of small plates, traditional cold appetizers, and vegetarian/vegan options. Try the Taiwanese take on Dan Dan Noodles, and the wonderful Kurobuta/Berkshire pork potstickers. The scallion pancake is rather wonderful too.
To drink, it’s a carefully selected range of fine teas sourced from Taiwan, ranging from light to blod, and iced teas that can be enjoyed with or without boba pearls. For alcohol, there’s a rotating craft beer and wine list, along with sake.
The food here is delicious, quick, and affordable, which makes it a winner in our books.
