Corgi Jianbing Food Cart Expands in Queens | Eater NY

"Sandwiched between glass towers, a butter-yellow and egg yolk–orange cart serves Long Island City’s breakfast and lunch crowd: Corgi Jianbing opened in 2018 near Court Square and has been humming at 4405 Hunter Street (at Crescent Street) for the past five years while expanding — including a planned spot outside 28-03 Jackson Avenue next to the JACX&CO food hall. I step up to choose a bing style — crispy or jing-style (softer) — both made from multigrain flour with egg, scallion, cilantro, Chinese pickles, sesame, peanuts, and a selectable number of eggs; fillings range from pork floss, Spam, sweet corn, youtiao, cabbage, and beef sausage to New York–style adaptations like avocado, mozzarella, and bacon, and there was even a limited-time pink dragonfruit jianbing. Owner William Zhang, who moved from Shanghai and hopes to someday open a brick-and-mortar and own a corgi, listens to customer feedback as he grows the business. The cart’s tagline is “delicious and auspicious,” it charges about $10 for the simpler jianbings (more than some Flushing options) and is open Tuesday through Sunday on Hunter Street from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. (Mondays at Jackson Avenue; hours still being finalized), with payment by cash, Venmo, or Zelle; while these jianbings may not be the city’s definitive iteration, they’re distinctive and approachable, especially for locals and students nearby." - Emma Orlow
