Ah, here's the rest of the menu, they've got other options besides Jian Bing. I initially had doubts because all the staff looked like they were about to prepare me an American version of Chinese cuisine, they instantly vanished as I watched them in surprise make all the dishes with as much authenticity and experience as any other chef you'd find in Chinatown. The Dragon Bowl had really good miishien, chewy and definitely freshly stored. The mala xiangguo was great, I ordered it mild because of my nonexistent spice tolerance and had a blast. I couldn't find photos, but the eggplant braised pork was on point. Usually it takes a lot of deep-frying skill for the eggplant to cook but retain it's purple color, but they managed it expertly. What I definitely also recommend is the tomato beef, when I took a bite into the beef I was shocked. It definitely wins the title of the tenderest, chewiest beef I've had in a long time. Their crepes are amazing too! As a lazy person who spent their NYC time living in Ktown, I was too lazy to commute to other jian bing places for the most part, and you don't have to, because it's so authentic here. You can also watch them make it, which is something that does help pass the slightly long wait time. I saw a few reviews before mine complaining about it being soggy. About those? I think it's more of a takeout problem with the steam and stuff, and not a problem with the chef or food. They come out very fresh and if you order it with the fritter, you have just ordered heaven. Since it's in Food Gallery 32, do expect the chatty and lively atmosphere, hence the rest of my rating. Besides that, this is a hidden gem within Food Gallery 32! Definitely come check it out!

This is an owner's problem, not the cook's problem. Jiang Bing was just not good. 油條was old and hard to chew - it should be soft and crispy. Sausage didn't taste Taiwanese, and a very tiny one split into half. I had a few bites and threw away most of it.
The guys working there were amazingly friendly and kind.

Omg the Beef Tamian soup was pretty delicious. It hits the spot like Pho, beef was tender and broth was flavorful to me. I would definitely order it again and the guy was friendly. Thanks!

I love this Jian Bing place. It’s crispy and have the right flavors. The beef is very good. I’ve been to chinese restaurants that also specialize in Jian Bing around the city, but the LATINO CHEFS IN THE BACK HERE are the best. Seriously. Some Chinese immigrants are trying to make JianBing having never made it before; the chefs here are the best, and they ain’t even Asian.
This restaurant has serious food safety issues, please don't eat there, many of my friends have gone to the hospital after eating it

I’m so disappointed :( Jianbing was so soggy, paid extra for sausage but only received 2 small pieces. Everything kept falling apart and there wasn’t enough balance in the toppings. Try somewhere else for real jianbing.

The signature bing is the best and a fried egg is a good addition to make it a little less dry. Got the hot bing and would describe it as medium spicy. Nice, fast lunch option for this part of town

It was a cute spot to grab food. You could try a little of everything from different stalls. There was a photo booth, karaoke rooms, and claw machines.
