An’s Canteen

I real hole in the wall. No big sign so you have to know. The best jianbing I've had outside of China. Crispy and not too salty. My wife said it's authentic Tianjin style. The soy milk was amazing! Very smooth and slightly sweet even though it wasn't sweetened. No burnt taste. Alas, he was out of tea eggs. Friendly.

Its hard to find a good jianbing in the bay but this little shop in chinatown hits the spot. Its a hole in a wall shop so the only seating you will find is the bench they set up near their shop. Its a nice grab and go place with friendly staff

Dropped by this chill Chinese crepe (煎饼 jian-bing) spot in Chinatown, Oakland, and it's my new fave. The flavors are on another level – spicy, savoury, and delicate. The crepes here are next-level good, and the craft behind them is legit flawless. I like the crepe with the fried crackers (薄脆 bo-cui) more than with the old-fashioned fried dough （油条you-tiao）, giving it a more interesting crunchy texture. Thin and crispy, but they hold up like a champ. You can tell the chef know their stuff. Menu's got a cool mix of classic and creative. If you're around Chinatown and craving something tasty, hit up this spot. You won't be disappointed.

Maybe this had something to do with being the first customer of the day but the lasting impression of the jian bing was “Horse horse, tiger tiger”… pretty average if in mainland but nice novelty to have on stateside. The portion could be bigger for what you pay as well. Owner was nice.

Nice texture of both the crepe and the crunchy 薄脆 bo-cui cracker inside. I wished for more sauce. $9.95 + $1 sausage, which is a hot dog.
