K & Y
Out in Monterey Park is a restaurant next to a Asian supermarket, K&Y:
The place is small but very busy.
Pickled cucumbers, very garlicky and a bit sweet.
They are known for their Xiao Long Bao:
These were very good but nothing exceptional as was the Beef Noodle Soup:
For some strange reason, the Beef Tendon soup tasted better than the Beef Noodle Soup:
Maybe it was from a different soup stock or prepped by a different chef?
We tried the Scallion Pancake, not bad. A little bit on the thick side but was cooked well.
The potstickers were like the Xiao Long Bao, it was good but not great:
The waitress recommended the fried fish. These were whole fried and had a light batter. A bit too salty for me.
The Spicy Wontons ended up like the potstickers and Xiao Long Bao, good but nothing that stood out from other places:

Since it was lunch time, someone ordered the Sweet and Sour Pork, actually it was pretty good!

Looks good!
Went to Pine and Crane as a guest of a friend; and as you warned, it left something to be desired.
re: looks
Pine & Crane is the only decent place in that area that's way it is so busy. What did you order? -MW
What was ordered...
What was ordered: Beef roll. This had too much cucumber, and the menu didn't state the ingredients of the beef roll, so this was a surprise. I wasn't expecting cucumber to be the primary overall ingredient other than the beef. The hoisin sauce here was ni...
