A Symphony of Flavors

What sets Ai Wei Ju’s jian bing apart is the symphony of flavors and textures that each bite offers. A spicy bean paste is brushed onto the crepe, adding a kick of heat that is balanced by the freshness of cilantro.

A drizzle of chili oil adds another layer of complexity, while crispy wontons provide a satisfying crunch.
