    Wow! Woon is such a hidden gem! So mad that i've hadn't make it in sooner. Star of the night was the Beef Noodles! The texture was perfect, i'm sure they were hand pulled. It had a chewy bite with chunks of beef. Dreaming about these Noods! Second were the Wings. So crispy and flavorful with the 5 Spice. Honorable mention was the Scallion Pancake! Light and airy but crispy. That dipping sauce was addicting, i dipped my wings in it too. Def gonna come back ASAP. Staff was super friendly with a Chill vibe. You order and pay for your food then find inside or outdoor seating. Street parking and cards are accepted.

    Let's be honest. This is NOt by any stretch of any imagination a Taiwanese noodle shop... Yes, I can order "Taiwan" beer, yes, I can order Gai Lan, that taste ok... but noodles? Dry, undercooked, beef came with a smell of burnt... Am no Chinese cuisine expert (well...) but this is a cool trendy place, for trendy people, who claim they ate Chinese cuisine... Ambiance is great (if you like the LA scene), and service is impeccable and super friendly... Just the food ain't up to snuff....

    Truthfully, I don't think woon is a must try. I think the portions are a bit small for their price and there weren't any distinct flavors that set these apart from a traditional Chinese restaurant-- I would even add that it's lacking. However, if I'm not comparing, then I would say the pork belly from the rice dish was really tender and melt in your mouth. You order at the counter and the food comes, so you don't really need to engage with the staff aside from that. The space is cute and cozy-- it felt like a dimly lit house kitchen!

    Food is very well seasoned. I really enjoyed the texture of the chewy noodles and the wings are prepped well. The fried rice is less flavorful but I enjoy the mix of black rice within the rice. Service is minimal since you order and then sit down

    Quick service and yummy food. Solid beef noodles and their scallion pancake beef roll was so crispy with lots of veggies! Love the homey interior vibes. Looking forward to going back to try some dinner items.

    TLDR: 4/5. For the amount of people we had, the portions were actually fairly good. Tasty overall, super attentive staff, small space but lovely vibe and sizeable outdoor area. Finally made it to Woon and I swoon!! Because this place is small we booked a reservation (8 ppl) ahead of time. Otherwise it could be tough without one depending on the size. Ordered: Scallion Pancake: 5/5 - I mean what is there to say, has a scallion pancake ever let me down? The fluffiness, the crisp, the butteriness, the dipping sauce. Finger licking good. Mama's Five Spice Chicken Wings: 3.7/5 - I'm pretty picky about my wings. With said don't get me wrong these are good but I just think it has the potential to really hit new limits. The seasoning could've been heavier but I do think this is a good app option. Spicy "Mouthwatering" Tofu: 4/5 - When a tofu is prepared right it can transform a dish. The marinade on this was nice and flavorful, but not too spicy for me, just a good heat. Pork Belly Bao - 3.8/5 - I wanted the pork belly to be a little more tender. It was a tad on the drier side. Otherwise this was a great mix of ingredients to have in a bao bun. Veggie Fried Rice & Pork Fried Rice - 4/5: With or without meat I thought these were both solid. Good amount too so great for the table. Veggie & Beef Noodles - I'll actually have to give it to the veggie noodles on this one! The beef ones were good but I felt like the beef itself was also a little on the dry side? I love this kind of noodle though. I also thought the veggie was slightly more flavorful. Service: 5/5 Everything came out super quickly but also well paced? As I said the staff were attentive. Vibes: 5/5 The evening was more of a moody vibe but it was perfect to me. I love that you can see them cooking in the front. The noise level was perfect with some good tunes. The outside has a good amount of stool seating with heaters in case its chilly. Parking is street and neighborhood but it could be a bit of a mission. Until next time!

    A must-try spot for elevated Asian comfort food! This is a quick-service restaurant (order at the front then find a seat) with a cozy yet modern aesthetic. Arrived at 6pm on a Monday and there was no wait + plenty of seating. Ordered the wings, pork belly over rice, beef noodle, and scallion pancakes. These were shared among 2 people and we both left stuffed AND had food left over! The star of the show for me was 100% the beef noodles - the al dente handmade noodles absorb the umami flavor of the tender beef and sauce. What more do you need in this life?? This is not to say the other dishes were not good, though, because everything we ordered was delicious! Special shoutout to the pork belly - the fat was so buttery, it just melts in your mouth. The wings and scallion pancakes were perfectly crispy. Can't wait to come back soooon!

    Good people, good food, and good music. My first time at Woon was their anniversary party, and they had this special hot dog with crunchy bits on top--ridiculous in the best way. That's the thing with this spot: you have to follow them. They're always doing specials and pop-up collabs, and if you're not paying attention, you'll miss the good stuff. It's a small space with seating inside and out. Quick-serve style, which means you wait in line... often behind people who somehow don't look at the menu until they're standing at the register. Don't be that person. Grab a menu, decide before you get up there. You can even check the fridge while you're waiting and get your drink plan together. Realistically, everyone orders the same hits for a reason: chicken wings, beef noodles, plus whatever special or pop-up item they've got going. You genuinely can't go wrong--everything is solid. Pro tip: get the sake. It's house-made, comes as a whole jug, and costs less than a glass of wine. Easy win. Bonus points for the vibes: they post their playlists on Spotify, and they donate to charities, which matters right now. Woon is the kind of place that rewards repeat visits--and attention.

    Really wanted to love this place because it's so cute, but was left disappointed because of the food. This is coming from a Chinese person, so I may have had higher expectations. Although this is a self-seating restaurant, the staff is super friendly and attentive. The line out the door was intimidating, but surprisingly went by really quickly!

    Absolutely delicious food in a beautiful environment. We tried the beef noddles, chicken wings, and the scallion pancakes. The wings were perfectly crispy, and the beef noodles were maybe the best I've ever had. The scallion pancakes were also delicious. We came at the perfect time, near sunset, so the lighting was perfect. The decor was minimal but stunning. Will definitely come back to try more next time I'm in LA!

    Frice rice was reminiscent of Japanese chahan and wings were crispy, tender, and juicy. Noodles were a little too chewy to the point where it felt undercooked (from someone that loves chewy noodles). Scallion pancake was just plain crispy dough with no flavor or chew. Bean curd was shockingly dry in the cucumber salad. Everything was a little overseasoned (too salty and to sour). Portions felt small but we left satiated and didn't pay an outragoeus amount of money. Barely anyone there was Asian but the population was largely millenial.

    This location is a neighborhood favorite, packed from open to close and for good reason. YOU MUST ORDER THE NOODLES. They are charred, umami, and have a kind of chew that you will not be able to stop thinking about.  Everything else that I tried was alright. The scallion pancakes were lackluster and overpriced. The pork bao buns were good, but unbalanced. The pork belly was soft and the pickles offered a nice tang, but the bite lacked an overall sweetness that would have helped round out the dish.  The ambience is nice, with small tables, short chairs, and tight spacing. It is a very homey feel. Parking is plentiful in the surrounding neighborhoods as well.

    I've been wanting to try this place out FOREVER! finally had the chance when my partner's school was having a small gathering here. The food, the service and the vibe was great! tried the beef noodles, cucumber tofu, tofu bao and the spicy mouth watering tofu. Each dish was so good! It's counter service style so you order inside, they give you a number and they bring the food to your table. Please note that portions are what we Americans would consider "small" but in reality, they are sensible. So take that into consideration when ordering. This place was packed as soon as they opened at 5pm through the time we left around 7pm. will definitely come back and try the other dishes.

The uni and mentaiko pastas were also good, although I remember them being a little salty. My friend got the corn cheese for $16, which is lowkey expensive for what it is, and honestly, it tasted like any other corn cheese.

This ended up being too much food for the two of us to finish and we ended up having to take home leftovers. I really enjoyed the beef pancake roll here. The inside has generous amounts of thinly sliced, marinated beef shank, and the scallion pancake wrap is rolled out very thin, crispy, and not oily at all. There's a bunch of julienned cucumbers inside for that crunch and just the right amount of hoisin sauce for that added sweetness. I wouldn't change a thing about this dish. With the three cup chicken, I enjoyed how spicy the dish was; definitely a dish you'll want to enjoy over rice. If I had to nitpick, one improvement that could have been made to the dish is if the chicken pieces were cut to be smaller. The potstickers here are well-made. If you're looking for Japanese-style gyoza, you will not find that here. The ones here are very in-line with what you'd find at food stalls on the streets of Taiwan in terms of texture, taste, and flavor. The potsticker wrappers have a wonderful crispiness to them and the pork filling is well-seasoned: I didn't actually need to use the included sauce to enjoy the dumplings. Overall, I had a wonderful meal at Pine & Crane and would happily come back again for lunch. Prices are competitive for the amount of food that you get and food was very promptly delivered out of the kitchen.

After you place your order, the dishes are coursed out so not everything hits the table at the same time. Pacing was perfect and service was polite and attentive. Of the items we ordered the crowd favorite was the fries from the steak fries dipped into the sauce of the budo-gnocchi dish. The fries were effectively a perfected version of the McDonald's fry: golden and crispy, crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. The wagyu was sliced into beautiful bite-size pieces and was melt-in-you-mouth tender. Definitely a must order! Another favorite of mine was the Japanese sweet potato.

If you're curious of how perfectly made BBQ ribs supposed to taste like, feel free to come to this place. They'll show you how it should be. -:- this place made the best with all fresh ingredients. I never liked spread before. But here, they made their tuna spread from fresh ingredients and not from canned ingredients. If you'd like to know how good a spread tuna spread tastes like, this is the place to go! And don't get me started with their bread. Talking about fresh! They make cloud bread (my opinion). Deep fried cauliflower: first, they boiled/blanched the cauliflowers perfectly, breaded and deep fried. If you'd don't like veggies, you have to come here and get this dish. The sauce, they made it from fresh lime juice! Not from any bottled ones that majority restaurants out there use for short cuts. This including their tomato salad. Will we revisit? Yes! 1000% many many many more times!

    Really enjoyed dinner here. The space is industrial and spacious - high ceilings, open feel…read more Loved the vibe. Food overall was great, even if it's on the pricey side. Grilled branzino was spot on. Pork chop tasted good, solid flavor, but the center felt was cooked through and not as tender as I had hoped. Tomato salad was fresh. Fried cauliflower, nice crunch. Tapioca spaghetti was interesting (even though there's no tapioca, right?) but had a small complaint that the noodle was a little hard. Some like, some don't. Crispy potatoes - crunchy on the outside, soft inside. It hit the spot, one of the best crispy potatoes that I can remember. Bing butter & honey was a favorite too. Drinks were solid, ube pina colada didn't taste as good as it looks, but it's a lot of purple fun. Yuzu lemonade was refreshing. The missing 1 star is a mix of small gripes: the pork chop (a little dry inside), hard noodle, ube pina colada looked better than it tasted, and it's a little pricey for the amount of food. Would definitely come back, I wanted to try the pork shoulders next!

I love sitting outside, especially in the evening when the weather is pleasant and the atmosphere is relaxing. Most importantly, the food here is bold, authentic, and packed with flavor. Every time I visit, I order the fried chicken wings, pork jerky , som tam (papaya salad), and a spicy soup called Tom Saap. These dishes always remind me of my trips to Thailand. This is definitely a restaurant I would highly recommend, whether you're looking for great Thai food, a family-friendly spot, or a place where you can enjoy a meal with your dog.

We asked for a paper menu and were told it's not updated and the waitress walked away. We asked if they had WiFi and the waitress said we could try and said the password was something on the menu with no spaces and walked away again. We couldn't connect to WiFi and had no way of knowing what food was available. Very strange experience. There was one big table of people and one or two other small groups. It wasn't very busy. I genuinely felt like they did not want me there and that I was inconveniencing the staff. We just walked out.

However, I just got whatever was available. Going down the list of foods my friends and I shared: - Manti: Huge dumplings made out of beef and fat. These were meaty and tasty. They paired well with the side red sauce which was tangy and helped cut the fatiness of the manti. Dumpling skin could've been softer, but still pretty good. It is 5 pieces per order. - Kuurdak: A beef and potato dish. The beef was tender and I loved the flavorful potatoes with onions! Great combo and felt like a nice home-cooked dish. - Samsa: A pastry stuffed with beef. Loved this! The pastry was warm and flaky and stuffed with lots of beef. Would be even better if it came with some sort of sauce. - Kompot: A fruit drink made out of apples, pomegranate, and peaches. Fruity, smooth and refreshing. Paired well with all the rich and meaty dishes. All the dishes were priced on the cheaper end so it was such great value for the amount of food/protein you get. The interior is cozy with comfortable seating and a bathroom. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. The service here was great! It seems like a family-run spot. They also have some free parking within the plaza the restaurant is located. This is such a hidden gem and I would recommend people to try it out. I would love to come back to try the dishes I was not able to try.

    This place is an institution. After I wrote that sentence, I felt like I was trite. And like I said…read moresomething but not really. Like, one time I was watching Project Runway, a season finale episode, where the designers make their own creations, and do not have to make their ensembles from shredded newspaper or bird seeds or pinata remnants. And after a so-and-so of the fashion industry said, "I wanted to go and rip that jacket off the model." This other time, I saw a poster for a coming musical and it said, "stop everything you are doing, and go this musical now" says this important person in the theathre world. What am I am trying to say is that the comment I wanted to do this immediately or drop everything and do this immediately is so overwrought and widely used that it lost all meaning. Kind of like calling this place an institution. So I will call this place what I should to not be drown in my own trite. One time I went to this place and I went cause I was invited to a birthday party. And it was a large group of people. Me and a friend debated if Penny, from the Big Bang, had eaten at this place. She was also in Charmed--- it is a household name, I can't remember it. So this place is famous enough to be a go to move, and it has many pictures of celebrities that have gone there. The food is also super good, so this place, like I said is an insititution. When I went there a second time, I was more aware of the place I was visiting and kind of was ready to receive its Chinese fare with an unhinged jaw. I was dining with a friend, the same friend that I had the is that Penny from Big Bang debate? It was not. She eventually one. But like she and I ate here again, without knowing we were going to the same place. I would say its a small world but.... She and I ate with gusto. It does not take a lot to know that the speciality of the house is their slippery shrimp. They also have slippery chicken and slippery tofu. Super good, sweet, sour but it was not sweet and sour sauce shrimp, it had differences. I am not sure what. There were some heat notes but not like terrible heat. So I am not exactly sure what this place does to make their slippery sauce but let us just that it was delicious and different than other Chinese food sauces. Ronnie and I had the works. Rice, Beef with Brocoli, Pan fried dumplings, and dumpings. It was the type of Chinese food that was so good a coke was needed to balance the decadent saltiness of the fare. Yeah, that might not make sense but I wrote what I wrote. We had eniugh food to share between the two of us. It was that type of meal, where leftovers were welcomed and made sense. They were not left over, they were left untouched because it would be a shame to not enjoy them later. The service was great. The place felt traditional, and like it took you to an alley in China to eat a grandmother's food who knows how to use a Wok and pinch dumplings so they stay close for good. I saw this bad review that skewered this place. And I am like wow! How can we be so different. Not like Ying and Yang Different, more like flutter and flatten. But taste is subjective, so decide for yourself if this place is a peacock worthy of its feathers or a tiger with its claws clipped.

We ordered the combination fried rice, Mongolian beef, slippery shrimp, beef lo mein, mixed veggies and Szechuan chicken. Everything was delicious and super flavorful! It took a while for our server to attend to us once we were seated (we waited about 10min before we asked to have our order taken) but after that the servers were very attentive. The place is busy. Quick turn around. One bathroom for the entire restaurant so expect a line. I saw a sign out front for valet parking but I didn't see anyone. But there's plenty of parking places nearby. Found a place down the street for $8 all day parking.
