The Best Restaurants For Lunch In Downtown LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Pine & Crane’s DTLA location is the rare casual spot that makes you want to stick around for a long sit-down meal. Not only does the breezy, open-air restaurant have one of our favorite patios in LA, but they also serve excellent Taiwanese dishes. We especially love the bowls of steaming wonton soup with chewy housemade noodles, the beef rolls with salty-sweet hoisin sauce, and doughy pan-fried pork buns. You could hypothetically be in and out of Pine & Crane within an hour (most of the food arrives in a matter of minutes and costs less than $15), but we suggest coming for lunch with an ambiguous end time to properly enjoy the all-day menu and cocktails." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
