How’s the orange chicken?
If I love Pandas orange chicken when it’s piping hot and fresh I can only imagine what Needle’s orange chicken is like

RIP
I often drive by other restaurants in Silverlake, packed to the gills, and see Needle without a wait.
Pearls before swine I guess.

Please buyout for my favorite restaurant!
Ah man I hope they find a new home. Needle is easily my favorite (did I mentioned they were my favorite?)

waited 20 min in line to try, but by time I got to table and tried to order, 80% of the things were already gone so went somewhere else! Was about 8:30pm.
Very disappointing. Hope the new space is bigger.
What happens when a bunch of food talkers descend upon Needle? They run out of food. People just thru up their hands as we kept ordering and eating. 
Here’s some photos with more sure to come…
Lychee Lemonade
Honey Walnut Prawns
My favorite skewer! But don’t tell @PorkyBelly.
Pork Jowl + Black Bean Sauce
Yes, yes, these were f-ing delicious too my friend! 
Tai (Snapper), Cucumber, Baby Heirloom Tomatoes, Radish, Citrus Vinaigrette
Don’t underestimate Chef Ryan’s way with raw seafood dishes. Bright, refreshing and If I were alone I would’ve slurped the citrus vinaigrette at the bottom of the bowl.
Chicken Wings w/Spicy Salt, Onion, Garlic, Peppers
Perfectly cooked, tasty, crispy, juicy, and all flats which I like. 
Cold Tofu, Braised Soybeans, Cilantro-Chili Relish, Fried Shallot
This is from their IG as I forgot to take a photo. Another refreshing dish with different textures and flavors.
And of course we had to order the beloved Almond Jello one last time. 
Tonights offering was topped w/Orange, Nectarine, Pluot, Mango, Goji Berry, Lychee Jelly.
Thank you, Chef Ryan & Karen, for your graciousness and always delighting our tastebuds!

Funny but true @attran99!
Sorry @JeetKuneBao. They are as mysterious about their next move as they are about the source of their delicious rice.
