Decent Taiwanese food for the area at reasonable prices. Everything is made with care, but unfortunately some dishes lack spice, including the basil eggplant, the twice cooked pork and the lotus root appetizer. Dan dan noodles (originally a Sichuanese dish) are significantly toned down with sesame paste and honestly are not very flavorful; personally, I would avoid it. Beef noodle soup is probably one of the standout dishes; the broth is really good, but it could benefit from a slightly larger portion size.

Wonderful food. The spices are not too strong. Not too salty or spicy. If you are looking for something with strong taste, this might not be the place for you. But, personally I liked the food and its proportions!

Every time I come here with someone, they always leave satisfied saying that it’s one of the best meals they’ve ever had. The ordering and seating remind me of kind of eating style that you see in Asia overall fantastic.

Price effective menu with generous portion sizes, with quick, punctual service. You could be in and out in 30 minutes but you’ll want to stay for longer. Beautiful restaurant for any casual meal and meet up. Get there early because it fills up and they deserve the traffic.

I got twice cooked pork belly and beef noodle soup for takeout and both were incredible flavorless.. I don't know I just picked a wrong day or wrong menu but was very disappointed :(

I live next to the SGV and this place is probably the closest someone in Silver Lake will get to the real thing. The flavors taste a tiny bit watered down for the local audience but not a huge amount. Good if you're trapped and can't get to the SGV.

Wait outside for over 30 minutes, and inside, we were told there would be another 30 minutes. I believe that's very unprofessional. They should let people know ahead of time to wait.

This was one of the two places i visited on new year's and by far the better of the two restaurants!So happy with their lu rou fan!!! Realmy brings me back to taiwan. The other dishes: dumplings, tantan noodles were on par with what I've eaten in Taipei and Tainan, and dare I say better. The only difference being the price, nearly 10x, but that's the reality of living in LA.My friends were happy as well, and it was a great way to introduce some of them to my culture as well. Thank you Pine and Crane!

Good quality but lacked finesse. Noodles needed crunch of peppers and vegetables and protein like tofu.
Its good. I wouldnt say its the best taiwanese restaurant in LA but i do recommend it. I was not impressed by the beef roll and their milk teas are not that good. The shrimp wontons were really good and the three cup chicken was also good.
Overpriced. Been to Taiwan several times, this place would receive a 1 star over there because of the quality to price ratio. The beef wrap has barely any beef. I received a sore just waiting to be seated for 1 hour, for genuinely mediocre Taiwanese food. Don't do Taiwanese in silver lake, go to an actual Asian area like Rowland heights, San Gabriel monterrey Park etc. Noodle street beef wraps are wayyyyy better.
