Delicious, unique food. The pulled pork and butterfly shrimp were both delicious. No other kind of food like this. A great option for lunch. Staff is very helpful if you have questions.
Original was pretty plain with iceberg lettuce.
The ingredients are fresh and flavours are reminiscent of those I’ve had in China. However, service is very slow when busy, portions inconsistent, and expensive relative to China. Nevertheless, this is the only option for authentic Jianbing in Chicago.
Tapioca is not included with milk tea, their pictures are extremely misleading. If you want tapioca you need to order it as extra topping
These are some of the nicest folks you'll meet and they make incredible food for a quick bite. The taro boba is delightful as well!
Do NOT let the fact that this is in a mall/shopping center deter you. Got a delicious dried pork jianbing, which was decadently crispy and packed with umami. Friend got the coconut shrimp jianbing and said it was one of the few examples of coconut shrimp where there’s actually enough coconut present. Great food all around.
Authentic Chinese savory pancake aka Jianbing
This is almost entirely takeout as they are just a little corner in the mall, but the food was great! Very fresh and crispy, and the beverages were tasty.
Jian is a gem! I swung by for lunch and was blown away by how fresh everything was. I ordered the hand-pulled noodles with chicken and the dumplings, and everything was packed with flavor. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the dumplings were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside—just what I needed. Spent around $20, which is a steal for the quality and portion sizes. The vibe is chill, the service was friendly, and I loved the fact they make everything in-house. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the mood for legit Chinese food in the city!
My first visit back to Block 37 pedway since the pandemic, the riots, and the illegal aliens invading the city making it not-so-accommodating to the tax payers supporting the rioters and illegals!
I had dried pork Sung Bing. Very good, I like this style of Chinese food, it's not all about high carb white rice or noodles, which I can't do. A few tables to dine at which was nice at 5pm, but may be challenging at noon to get seating as block 37 doesn't maintain a big common dining area.

Convenient and yummy! Never tried jianbing before. I had the original, and it was like a savory crepe. Loved the crunch. Not too heavy and exactly the amount of food I needed before continuing to walk around the city. Would come back!
Looked for a place for a quick bite before a play at a nearby theater started. Perfect! Jianbing was crispy and quite authentic.
Delicious and convenient snack/meal (depending on what you had before lol!!) which has authentic flavor and both savory, and crunchy elements. I ordered with 5 hour pulled pork and it was amazing!!! I enjoyed every bite and am so glad I got a chance to indulge in this food before going to Wisconsin (where they are not likely to have most Asian foods)!!

Ordered the pork sung + honey sausage and an original; it is SOOO SOO good!! Well-seasoned, suuuper flavorful, absolutely delicious. It’s got a super crunchy bite and is so savory and fresh. I did choose spicy, but i would say it could be even spicier. I loved it and will definitely be back!!
