" The fried shrimp jianbing was outstanding! It reminded me so much of my time in China. The staff was incredibly friendly and helped me decide on what to order since it was my first visit! My only complaint would be the lack of seating since it’s mainly a takeout place. I’ll definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu. Highly recommend to anyone who loves authentic Chinese street food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not only is the food delicious, but the service was sharp! I ordered the fried chicken jianbing, and it came out hot and fresh. Got to give a shoutout to the lovely staff—they were so attentive! The only reason I didn’t give a perfect score was the limited seating, but considering the quality of the food, I took it in stride. I'll certainly be back very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible find! Monkey King Jianbing is where you go for a traditional jianbing experience. I tried the fried chicken option and was blown away by how fresh and flavorful everything was. The texture was spot-on - crispy and satisfying. This is my new go-to for a quick, delicious meal. By the way, don’t skip the Thai iced tea. It complimented my meal perfectly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally tried this spot, and it truly exceeded expectations! The jianbing was not only delicious but very filling. I opted for extra spicy, which added a nice kick! The service was quick and friendly, although the store is definitely small and meant for quick takeout. Definitely a place I’ll visit frequently when I'm craving jianbing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got to try jianbing, and it did not disappoint! The fried chicken jianbing was excellent, with great layers of flavor and texture. The service was friendly and efficient, making our experience swift and enjoyable. However, the seating is quite minimal, so it's better for takeout. Of all the places I've visited for Chinese food, this has become one of my favorites. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious jianbing! Each layer brought a different texture and depth of flavor. The place is quite small—best for takeout. I've tried both the chicken and veggie versions so far, and I can't choose a favorite! The owner is welcoming and appreciates feedback, making you feel valued as a customer. Definitely a treasure in Skokie. Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Quite a hidden gem! The amount of flavor packed into the jianbing is incredible! I tried the fried shrimp version, and the delightful mix of crunchy and savory left me wanting more. While the size of the shop means minimal seating, I really appreciated the attention to detail in service and food cleanliness. Perfect for anyone seeking authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)
