Delicious and authentic jian bing in Chicago!!! As a Beijing-food snob, this is as legit as it gets outside of China!!!
The best Jian bing in Chicago Hands down. The owner and people who work there are also really nice. Looking forward to their reopening soon!
Loved being able to get jianbing in Chicago! Sorry to hear about the closure - is there another location open or an ETA on re-opening?

Jian offers delicious jianbing with various flavors like dried pork with seaweed, crawfish, 5 Hours Pulled Pork, and Smoked Bacon. Located in a booth at a train station's French market, it provides a cozy seating area with string lights. Customers can choose their preferred level of spiciness or opt for a non-spicy option. The Crawfish Jianbing is praised for its juicy, crunchy, sweet, and savory flavors. The food is fresh, with dishes like the pulled pork, butterfly shrimp, and pork floss standing out as delicious options. The friendly staff is quick with the food and helpful with questions. The dried pork jianbing is crispy and packed with umami, and the coconut shrimp jianbing has enough coconut for a rich flavor.
The restaurant is located in the basement of Block 37, between the red and blue metro lines, with several places to sit and good people watching. The friendly staff and delicious, authentic jianbing make it a great lunch option for those passing through. Customers enjoy the juicy and crisp textures, as well as the wide variety of flavors available, including the popular pulled pork.
