Convenient parking lot next door - seemlngly always seating for us since most folks grab it to go. We prefer to eat it right away. Went with the original veggie jianbing to just add spicy strip (latiao) to. Ordered the crisp cake with pickled veggies for comparison. There are fewer preset kinds but you can customize and it presents itself as a like a smaller jianbing. Staff knew without asking with our party of three to cut our jianbing in half and have it on separate plates. Threw on also a salted egg yolk waffle. Thought the salted egg yolk could have had a stronger presense of flavor compared most anything where salted egg yolk is used for crispy frying (no missing it). I guess if it ever really got busy, you could eat at/in your car. Not perfect but good enough for 5 stars. Glad this is the location that still stands today and closer to home.

Cute little strip mall spot that does brisk take out service. They do have a few counter seats available. All of the JianBing are a very healthy size. Ended up splitting two different kinds with a friend: double egg & bacon; crab stick with ham. Saw they had dim sum and got an order of hargow for giggles. I didn't really care for the sauce that came with this...thought it was too sweet. I enjoyed all the different textures and flavors in the JianBing. Solid snack! Would definitely recommend ordering a few and splitting the different varieties.

Stopped by Money King Jianbing and was pleasantly surprised! This spot serves up yummy, American-style Chinese jianbing that really hits the spot if you want something quick, tasty, and not too complicated. What to Expect * Great Taste: The jianbing is flavorful and satisfying, with a more American twist--don't expect traditional Chinese street food complexity, but do expect something delicious and craveable. * Simple Vibes: The menu is easy to navigate, so you won't feel lost trying to decipher complicated options. Perfect if you want comfort food without a huge fuss. * Tiny Space: The restaurant is super small with limited seating. It's not really the place to hang out and linger--definitely more of a grab-and-go or quick bite kind of spot. * No Self-Serve Water: Heads up--there's no self-serve water station, so come prepared or grab something to drink before you arrive. * Hard to Spot: It's a little hidden and easy to miss if you're not looking out for it. Keep your eyes peeled, or you might walk right by! The Bottom Line Money King Jianbing is the kind of humble little place you love finding by accident--just tasty food, fast service, and nothing fancy or fussy. It won't replace your favorite authentic street vendor, but if you're nearby and want a solid jianbing or Chinese snack made easy, it's worth seeking out. Just don't expect a big scene or tons of creature comforts--that's kind of the charm!

Dropped in for a quick try. I had the jian bing in Taiwan a few years back. Service was quick and I tried the fried shrimp JB. They make to order and it came out quick. I really liked the JB. It has a great crunch and nice amount shrimp. They give you gloves to use to eat so they won't get messy. I didn't need them. The staff was friendly. They have a nice selection of JB.

Been wanting to try Monkey King Jianbing. So glad I finally made it, it exceeded all expectations! Large free public lot to the east. Cozy with limited seating and cute interior. We decided to eat there since we wanted to eat the jianbing hot. Made to order. I highly recommend the fried chicken steak jianbing. It was very good, everything was crisp, crunchy and fresh! Can't wait to try more things on their menu. They also have egg waffles. Service was great.

I live close and this is my first time trying anything like this. I ordered the triple fried chicken hot dog spicy. Not knowing what to expect, I thought it would be a high protein item. I was a little disappointed when I bit into it. The inside included a crunchy wonton skin and breading from the fried chicken pieces, not too much meat. After comparing mine to my husband's, I realized the "triple" meant that the crepe was cooked in more egg than the other jianbings. It made the crepe feel chewy. Despite ordering mine spicy, it did not taste spicy whatsoever. The waffle tasted better than the jianbing. We ordered the meat waffle to share. I can't tell if there is any meat inside though because it still tasted sweet.

I ordered online. It's near my house and thought I'd try something different. Food came out really quick. The lady at the front desk was really friendly. The food looked amazing. I had a fried chicken jianbing and a meatfloss waffle. The chicken jianbing was good it's hard to explain but it's like a giant egg roll. I don't know what meatfloss is but the waffle tasted like a standard waffle. I'm not sure if it had meat in it.

A little hole in the wall tucked into a strip mall, but the food was very impressive! Had the shrimp jianbing and loved every bite!

Monkey King Jianbing has been on our list of places to try since they opened and today was the day. Lowkey, this is some of the best Asian street food I've ever had. They specialize in jianbing (Chinese-style crêpes) with different fillings, but also have egg waffles and crispy pan cakes with fillings. Everything was amazing - flavors, textures, and spice level were all perfection! We ordered an egg waffle, two spicy fried chicken jianbing (mine had Chinese pickles because if you know, you know), a signature lemonade and a Thai iced tea. Very courteous service, pleasant counter space for dining in and absolutely fantastic jianbing. We're already planning on next visit and are only disappointed that we waited this long to try this little gem of a restaurant. Bonus points that there is a free Skokie municipal parking lot next door with plenty of parking.

Oh my! This place is soooo fantastic! It reminds me of some little places you find in Chinatown with limited staff and a kiosk to order, but INCREDIBLE food! I came for lunch on a Monday (yes, open Monday! I think closed Tuesday though). FYI there is NO PUBLIC RESTROOM, so my friend and I drove to another local place and returned to order. We ordered one bubble waffle because honestly, you smell that sweet aroma and immediately want it after you walk in. I ordered the shrimp jiangbing, and my friend ordered a chicken steak jiangbing, both mildly spicy (you can adjust the spicy levels at the kiosk). We waited about 15 minutes and the lady working there brought everything out to us and instructed us to eat the waffle first (probably so it doesn't get soggy sitting there in the paper bag). Everything was soooo delicious, and we unfortunately corkscrew eat the whole thing, but good thing it arrives in a takeout container, so we just closed it up and took the leftovers home! I shared the leftovers with my kids and one is a huge fan, so I'll definitely return!
