Pine and Crane benefits from several things. For one, its Sunset Junction location couldn’t be better located if it tried. Secondly, the service is quick and the order-at-the-counter setup will get you in and out in a half hour if you want. But most importantly, this modern Taiwanese/Chinese spot is dishing out food that’s delicious, affordable, and won’t make you want to immediately nap afterwards.

We wouldn't want to live at the Americana Glendale, but we'll gladly stop in for some excellent soup dumplings at Din Tai Fung.

Tatsu Ramen

Tatsu is the future not just because of its iPad wall waiters. It’s the future because it’s perfectly streamlined, yet highly personalized. Quick and easy, and downright delicious.
