"When sh*t hits the fan and we need a kind smile and plate of char siu stat, we go to Needle. Located in a bright-green building in Silver Lake, this order-at-the-counter Cantonese restaurant serves everything from pea shoots in garlic broth to pork chop buns to button mushrooms so good, they compelled us to change our Twitter name to “Funghi Fieri.” But the main event here is their char siu. Glazed with honey and served with a side of hot mustard, this pork shoulder is sweet, savory, and exactly what you want to be eating when you realize that Instagram has been sending your crush an alert every time you unsend a message." - brant cox, kat hong, brett keating
