Vegetarian options! Beyond what is listed in the menu as vegetarian they can also make their Dan Dan Noodles, Shanghai Scallion Noodles, and Chongqing Spicy Noodles vegetarian.
I had their Chongqing Spicy Noodles and loved them! The noodles were soft, chewy, and really delicate. The broth was really creamy — Sichuan sesame paste, the chilli oil was delicious and made the broth look gorgeous. There’s also some kind of seaweed in there, which gave it a delicate salty taste.
They have alternative milks for their bubble teas, too! And the staff told me their Vegetarian Dumplings are the best in Christchurch, I didn’t get to check but I wouldn’t be surprised.
J-Bings is a creative medley of an eatery and a teahouse. The meals we had for dinner were super delicious and this was our first bing experience. Everything was very reasonably priced. Portions were huge. Staff were speedy and accomodating. We have no qualms whatsoever about recommending J-BINGS to anyone!
Had a lovely dinner there as always, although would be nice have the portion serve a bit more:) Good for dinner though if you don't eat much.
Had our Asian food fix at J-Bings and the food was great! Our favourite is definitely the Dan Dan Noodles, the noodles are QQ/ chewy and the spices are on point - you got to try it.
My partner and I always want to explore food. We didn't know what "bings" are and we gave it a try. It was like Pitapit but better. The crepe like crunchy egg wrap was so good to wrap around those delicious compact meaty stuff. Sauce and cheese compliment to each other with that crunchy chicken. 😋
On the other hand, their drinks are not as good as they look. We ordered brown mochi and Mango pomelo sago. Mango didn't taste fresh and not sweet. Brown sugar was good well balanced sweetness for me. I liked the chewyness of mochi. Will come back and try different flavor.
I am a vegetarian but I don’t eat onion and garlic. I have tried Dan Dan noodles and Chongching noodles, both are super delicious to me. The waitress was so nice that she had patiently explained to me all the options I can have, which I really appreciated. HIghly recommended!
Overall good,
The milk tea is standard, a little too sweet for my liking.
The Jianbing is surprisingly nice, authentically Beijing style, not so easy to find in town.
The noodle was not bad, but can use a bit more spices.
The fried chicken could have been great if it wasn’t buried in a mountain full of mayo. I strongly suggest to dial down the mayo or offer to put it on the side.
Service is good, ambiance feels nice, but probably wouldn’t have anything else but the Jianbing if here next time.
First time here, did not disappoint. Food was delicious and ambiance great!
Loved the bubble tea hot pot! Super tasty, well worth the money and reasonably priced. If you are here, I definitely recommend to try it. Never had anything like it! 🧋❤️
Highly recommend！the Bings are tasty n the beef noodle was authentic！ There are variety of drink options，tried classic bubble tea and sparking fruit tea，all good！
The best Dandan noodles I’ve ever had in New Zealand, even better than I had in China before. Staff were super friendly and we will be coming back regularly. Keep the good flavour Jbing
I reallyyy enjoyed the original bing!! It had salad, crispy wonton wrapper & sauce in it & all of which were very delicious! I found the size to be quite big so I was only able to finish half of it. I also had the pineapple tea with boba but unfortunately the boba didn't really have a taste🤷🏼♀️ The interior & the staff were also very nice~
If you are looking for authentic noodles and jian bing in a casual ambience with attentive service then look no further. I was pleasantly surprised when, on a whim, we tried this restaurant when visiting town. Having spent time living in China I was particularly impressed with the noodles which got the right balance of texture, flavour, unami and spice. 10/10. The last time we visited it was our first stop and this time I tried the jian bing. Extremely generous portions and a great balance of flavour. My wife raved about the bubble tea but I was so full from the fantastic bing I didn't even have a sip! Will be back for sure!
Delicious kai and lovely inu. Bubble teas were tasty, noodles dripping in delicious chili, and fried chicken crispy. Service polite and efficient. We hung out for ages enjoying the atmosphere and decor.
