An’s Canteen (Tian Jin Dumplings)

"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."

"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."

"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 wonton soup is wonderful and you should have it whenever you're sick, or it's under 50 degrees outside, or if you just feel like having good soup. The tea eggs are smooth and soft and you could eat 12 of them in one sitting. Obviously, don't do that. But you could. The crepes are a top 5 food to eat with a moderate hangover. Get the hot sauce. The people who run the shop are sweethearts and they take Zelle."

"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."
