Master Bing

This place is a hidden gem in U District!You order off a screen, and they call you when your order is ready. I was amazed by the range of selection of jianbing that they offered (you can find their to-go menu here, https://www.ordertogo.com/restaurants/masterbing/mesh).Friendly staff. Due to space constraints, not too many tables available for you to sit at, but I guess people can always take to-go. Interior is bright and there is a huge poster wall that you can take a pic with.So glad that we could enjoy this delicious Chinese food here!Perfect for a quick bite snack or lunch!

Peking duck jiang bing! Delicious, handheld street food perfect after having some libations from a nearby bar. Food is made fresh in front of you, very hot and delicious. Probably not big enough for a meal, but a very filling snack.

This was quite the nostalgia trip! I remember eating jian bing as a popular street food in Beijing as a kid and it was so exciting watching them make it in front of you and then biting into the piping hot wrap. So I felt the same excitement when I was able to do the same at Master Bing here in the States! You get to watch them make the Bing in front of you and they have the OG flavors and a bunch of novel new ones like with different kinds of meat. They're super fast and the service was great. The store was clean with a few seating options. My only con was that the prices were a bit high but that's mostly because we're in Seattle. The high prices is on par with anywhere else. Highly recommend you check them out to taste some authentic Chinese street food!

This was my first time trying a jian bing and I'm so glad I was introduced to it! It's a small local shop near University of Washington, so it would be a great place for students to stop for a quick bite. I tried the roasted duck and it didn't disappoint. It was crispy and had so much flavor with all of the ingredients. I also think the roasted duck tied the taste together with the saltiness. They work really quickly and the jian bing was piping hot when it's ready. Definitely really yummy and something to check out!They have a self-service kiosk to order the jian bing. There were only 2 workers, but they were very sweet and were working really hard. Come support this place and try their jian bings!

I got the peking duck jianbing here ($13.99+tax) and despite the deceptively small size, it was very filling. There is crispy wonton skin to add an additional layer of crunchiness, and the amount of duck inside is fairly generous. The only small downside is that I tasted a little bit of foil as I was cutting the jianbing, but otherwise I really enjoyed my order. I wish there were more of these in general - the other one that was solid that I could think of was a food truck in Portland. This is overall a very good snack for 2 people, or if you want a filling meal, one is more than enough. Do be patient as each order is made to order, and the workers do a good job preparing the dish as aesthetically as possible!

Stop by for a quick bite of tasty jianbing. Several filling options are offered for this classic Chinese street food, including vegetarian choices like youtiao (油條), hot and sour shredded potatoes (酸辣土豆丝), and mushroom (蘑菇). Rice and noodle dishes along with sides are served here too.-----Fried Chicken Jianbing (香酥鸡柳煎餅) ($10.99).On the heavier side, but a solid jianbing filling enough for a meal. The fried chicken was a bit tough and dry. The crispy fried crackers (薄脆) gave a nice crunch. I thought the highlight was the combination of flavor with the chili sauce and the pickles. For spiciness level, hot gave a satisfying heat.-----Chinese Chive Pocket (韭菜盒子): comes with three ($9.99).This side dish took a few minutes to prepare, but was piping hot with a juicy chive filling. Skin outside was pan-fried to a good crispiness.-----Orders are placed on a kiosk and then served in to-go form. Inside has a couple of tables and a bar counter.

So tough to find jian bings around here so I am so glad this spot exists! One of my favorite street food snacks :) Tried the:-Peking Duck Bing ($13.99) -Mushroom Bing ($9.99)You can choose from 3 levels of spice, and add toppings and sides (fries).They were fresh and I loved that they were light and had nice crunchy wafers inside!Order on a pad, limited seating. Located in downtown U-District.

Casual hidden gem in Udistrict for authentic Chinese street food! I love Jianbing and haven't had one in years, but the taste of Master Bing was just as authentic as I remember it. Jian bing is a type of Chinese pancake - crepe like dish with various savory fillings. It's crispy and flavorful and the perfect handheld snack or meal. You can fully customize your own Jian bing at Master Bing or pick one of the preset options. I went with the Sakura special and added spiced lamb to it. Additional filling options include bbq pork, Peking Duck, mushrooms, pickles, Chinese donut "youtiao", and more. I chose my spice level as mild, but you can go from no spice to extra spicy. It cost $13 and was plenty as a meal. Deliciously crispy and the lamb was very tender. Soymilk costs $3 and is nice and chilled. Delicately sweet but not overbearing. A perfect combo to go with your savory jianbing. There is ample seating and the ambiance is casual. You can order off a digital screen or directly with the staff. Please be patient with the staff as English is often not their first language. They also participate in a lot of food delivery apps such as hungry panda and fantuan.

This location is very close to the UW campus which is very convenient since it only took about 5 minutes for them to finish my order (non-rush hour). You can order at the self-serve kiosk and the items are really customizable. BBQ Pork (w/ Chinese Donut add on) 3.7/5: My bbq pork did come out a little dry (compared to the ones I usually eat) but the actual jianbing itself was very tasty! I really enjoyed the texture of the crunchy wontons with the flavors of the chili oil and pickled vegetables in addition to my protein. Overall, it was good and this rating is closer to a 4 star than it is to a 3 star. If I were to come back, I would definitely try out a different item!

The lamb pancake is okThe duck blood soup is quite nanjing styleVery strong duck flavor
