BINGZ CRISPY ‘WICH ~ SAN GABRIEL
Bingz, a unique Chinese sandwich concept which started as a Beijing street food business, is soft-opening at Tawa Gateway in San Gabriel this Thursday, September 10, with a grand-opening planned on Saturday, September 12. The opening is the first step in the chain’s wider planned movement into the U.S.
Bingz’s signature is an eponymous burger of sorts with a crispy, puff pastry-ish bun made in-house, which pockets various spiced meats. According to the website, the sandwich is styled after by Xian’s traditional rou jia mo.
The pork bing, made with 32 spices, is the most popular here, while additional bing varieties include black pepper beef with king oyster mushrooms; Peking duck; and cumin chicken; along with two options for vegetarians. Many locations also offer hand-pulled noodles in dishes like sizzling chili noodles with pork, and cold liangpi.
