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.

Update: The older couple who ran Tian Jin previously sold it to a young gentleman who’s now there every day. Nice guy, and food is identical. Still a great spot! Nice to see the business getting passed down to the next generation 🙂

Original review: The best kind of hole in the wall. Only four things on the menu, and all of them delicious, fast, and inexpensive.

The savory crepe is my go-to for breakfast or a light lunch. Solid wonton soup too! Tea eggs make a nice snack or side. The little mall across the street has nice benches and fun people watching while you eat.

The gentleman attended the window and cooked, was very polite and managed a long line of customers. First time trying Tianjin.

Looking forward to next time!

The dough of the jianbing was done perfectly right, I’m more used to having crisps inside instead of youtiao though. And could probably use some cilantro and more sesame seeds too to make it more like what I remembered from China.

The soy milk was really good, we got the sweet version.

Tea eggs were flavorful and not overwhelming.

The wonton soup was also fairly good.

I really appreciate restaurants who do a few things but do them really well, and even though this place’s menu is only 4 items long, I really do appreciate it.

I miss the older couple that ran this place before, but happy that the menu hasn’t changed. I always get the bian jing and the warm soy milk. Brought a friend along and now he’s a fan too! Great place to bike to after riding by the lake. There’s a couple of chairs and small tables on the sidewalk, so you don’t have to wait to get home to eat.
