"Pine and Crane is the rare fast-casual restaurant where you'll actually want to have a sit-down meal, as evidenced by the lines that have stretched out the door at modern Taiwanese/Chinese spot for the last decade plus. Service is efficient, the menu is straightforward, and no dish costs more than $16. Prioritize the beef roll with sliced beef, cucumbers, and hoisin sauce wrapped inside a flaky scallion pancake that has more layers than a Kardashian-Jenner's makeup routine, and the wonton noodle soup, with broth so soothing it'll instantly clear a head cold." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park
