"Eight Jane Foods is a tiny stall with space for two or three people to stand near the register. There’s no printed menu, but you’re basically here for jianbing. Their version of the Chinese breakfast crepe is heavy on egg, and has a thin, crisp square of fried dough in the middle that adds a satisfying layer of crunch. The youtiao is also delicious, but you’ll need to come early if you want to score this coveted cruller, since they almost always run out. Bring cash, and plan to eat your food on the sidewalk." - carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick
"A tiny take-out counter tucked in the Busy Mall known for freshly made jianbing with sausage; the Chinese crepe is described as crispy and savory, making it a popular, grab-and-go breakfast that often draws a line." - Rachel Chang

"It takes less than a minute for owner Jin Yuan to whip up a crackly eggy crepe inside her tiny family-run take-out window. She fills and folds each one with a number of fixings like freshly made baocui (cracker), youtiao (cruller), scallions, and thin slices of beef. Watching her make two at once with such precision is a feat to applaud — particularly when you realize this skill is what has sustained three generations of her family (from mother-in-law to her two kids). At $5 a pop, the jianbing makes for a lovely, multi-textured snack or breakfast that customers line up for throughout the day." - Caroline Shin
