For newcomers unfamiliar with Beijing food (like myself), can't go wrong with their stuffed pan-fried round pastries (choice of beef, lamb, pork, shrimp, fennel). Novelty items that are also good -- * wheat congee, plain but pairs great with the savory pastry. * LAYERED MEAT PIE (my new favorite!), so good it looks like an Italian lasagna with its layers of dough and meat but no dairy. * good pickled cabbage as well. * home-made chili oil is also a winner! All dishes are made to order so bring your appetite and patience! read more

Haven't been here in forever. I feel like this business has changed hands over the years or at least since I last been here. Anyways, got a Lamb & Summer Squash Pie 4pcs. It was fresh, hot and delicious. Really juicy (splatter everywhere/drips). Also happy to find another option to get my cold appetizer/sides.

More 3.5 stars. The food is made to order so they come out super fresh and hot (mostly). I had one dish that I had to send back because the buns were still cold inside with steaming. They were nice about it and gave us a free soup and re-steamed the buns. The Beijing pies are nice and crispy on the outside and the inside very savory but over salted. Same thing with the pancakes. This place def has a mom and pop feel and the wait staff and servers are very nice. The highlight would be the panfried dumplings and steamed buns read more

Picked up food here a couple weeks ago and the man who helped me (I think an owner?) was so sweet and friendly. Everything was piping hot when it got home and packed so carefully. I got the beef pies, shrimp & pork wontons, and woodear mushroom. It was so filling and the beef pies were juicy! and hearty I only popped in briefly for pickup, but the restaurant was cozy and casual. Had a really lovely family vibe. Easy parking in the attached lot too. read more

Beijing Pie House - beef pies - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

First time trying Beijing Pie House and it did not disappoint. The restaurant was very roomy and has a great seating arrangement. The workers were friendly and attentive to our needs. The meat pies are extremely delicious and piping hot, so would recommend to give them a few minutes before biting into one. My favorite was the pork/shrimp chives dumpling, it was juicy and packed a wonderful punch. Would recommend giving them a try. read more

This place is still open for dining! I was here on November 10, 2025 and came with family. This place is delicious, especially the scallion pancakes, meat pies (juicy and hot temperature), beef rolls and leek + shrimp dumplings. I highly recommend for an authentic Beijing style cuisine meal. Service is excellent and swift. Ambiance is relaxed and quiet. It's a local mom and pop shop read more

Gosh, forgot to take pictures! We ordered a bunch of food for a party of 4 and they were all DELICIOUS. The meat fillings were all VERY JUICY, he warned us not to burn our mouth lol. It's know for meat so definitely a heavy hitter there but their cold side dishes were refreshing to balance, highly recommend the shredded potato salad. We came 30 min before closing on a weekday and were the only party there, but the staff were very friendly and recommended dishes for us and chatted with us. The big meat pie (forgot what it's called but it's their specialty) takes a bit to make, and we actually ended up staying past their closing. They did not rush us at all but we felt bad! read more

Handmade, you can tell by the texture of their dumplings, meat pies, meat pancakes. Thick filled meat pies Family dines in and we order some to go. Those meat pies can microwave well and perfect for quick meals. Just noticed my old review 13 years ago 2012. Yup, still eating with the family here read more

While the place is a total dive (small & basic), the food at the Beijing Pie House is wonderful! Service was welcoming and good. We started with the cucumber salad (crunchy and fresh), then to the scallion noodles (outstanding), and the Napa cabbage & beef pies (really good). We will be back! read more

What we ordered: (2) 10 Fennel Pork (Boiled) Dumplings $25.98 (2) 10 Stuffed with Pork & Celery (Boiled) Dumplings $25.98 I love dumplings and I like to think I know dumpling pretty well as I'm married to a Northern Chinese girl. Our family eats dumpling quite often throughout the year. Not to mention, I live in Beijing for 5 years. Let's say, I know dumplings pretty well. The dumplings here are very good. There's not disputing that. My wife, her parents, my son and myself all thought the dumplings were very good. With that said, these dumplings are very expensive. 40 dumplings cost $57 with tax. That comes out to one dumpling costing $1.42. That's pretty astronomically high even with rising food costs and inflation. I was absolutely dumbfounded when I saw that bill. Keep in mind! See the picture of the signage inside the restaurant! Dumplings are apparently made to order. They take well over 15 minutes to make/cook. I probably wouldn't come back by choice, but if my family wants dumplings and don't want to make them. We'll probably stop by here. read more

This place is definitely known for their pancakes, because their noodles were not good. Just get their meat cakes! We got a variety to go - lamb, pork, vegetarian, beef pies. Their beef rolls - delicious! Their beef onion pancakes - good but we could've probably done without. Two noodles - zha Jiang and green onion noodle that we definitely did not need. And their millet porridge - a bit watery but I liked it. Their meat pies were delicious! My bf loved their lamb pies and my favorite is their beef and pork pies. Surprisingly I didn't like their vegetarian version as much which is rare! Their noodles were not very flavorful at all. It was a lot of noodle with little to no sauce. Some meat would've helped so we ended up stir frying it with some meats we had it home. Overall I'd come back for only their meat pies! Beef, Pork and Lamb only next time! read more

Food and service were both great! Everything was delicious and fresh. Stopped by looking for some good dumplings. We got pan fried pork and shrimp, fennel pork and shrimp, beef and green onion dumplings. The wonton soup and green onion pancake were great too. Glad we stopped by. read more

Beijing Pie House - We were so excited that I forgot to take pictures before we started eating pan fry dumplings and cucumbers salad delicious - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

10/10 every single time I go. The only complaint I have is that I overeat! you can't go wrong with pretty much anything you choose, but my favorites are: shrimp and pork fried dumplings, pork pie, cucumber salad, wonton soup. Service is awesome. It looks like a little hole in the wall -- and that's how you know it has the best food ever. read more

The food was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. My friend and I got their leek, pork, and shrimp dumplings, beef and onion pork, and cucumber salad. She loved their dumplings so much, she got their frozen ones to bring home! It's a genuine hole in the wall. Service was great and it got even better when the lunch rush was over. I recommend bringing cash - they take credit cards, but there's a fee and minimum spend. Been coming here for years, will keep going! read more

My first time having Beijing meat pies! Is that a thing anywhere else? I had an errand in Monterey Park and knew I had to eat some good Chinese while I was in the area. I actually used ChatGPT to find something quick, delicious, filling and preferably handheld -- and this was the first result. Did some vetting on Yelp and locked it in. THE ROBOT DIDN'T STEER ME WRONG. I had the Lamb and Green Onion pies and they were THREE FIRE EMOJIS. And filling. Almost too much for 1 person. Almost ;-) Nobody told me they were basically like giant soup dumplings because each pie was partly filled with the brothy juices of the fillings. It was a pleasant and juicy surprise, but definitely get extra napkins and prepare to have a savory smelling beard for rest of the day. I hope I get a chance to go back! ALSO--I wasn't sure I was in the right place at first because the name on the building is "JIN HAI PIE HOUSE" but the name on the plaza sign was still "Beijing Pie House". Glad it didn't turn out to be a Meat Pie Spite Shop. read more

Proceed thusly: grab the hockey puck shaped meat pie; hold it vertically; take a meager bite from the top; make sure to bite only a small patch of the dough, do not sink into meat yet; maintain vertical orientation; reach for a spoon; poor carefully the liquid content from the meat pie out onto the spoon; slurp. These meat pies, ycleped xian bing in Mandarin, are the Chinese culinary gods' idea of a practical joke. The butt of the joke being the Westerner. After the Western diner has suffered the inclemency of stinky tofu, Sichuan peppercorns, searing Hunanese gan la, and the exotica of Cantonese food, he is finally able to sit before something familiar. Xian bing provides the Westerner with ground meat stuffed into dough with a crisp exterior. He can rest and eat without thinking, without prodding and wondering. He takes a hardy bite into his meat pie and is met with jets of boiling hot liquid. Still, I imagine he would take these blisters over stinky tofu any day of the week. In order to avoid blisters, use the above described technique. I will go further and advise you not to treat like soup the entire liquid content of the bing. Have a enough to prevent flooding, but don't completely drain the basin. As it cools, the meat will reabsorb liquid, which is part moisture and part fat. By allowing for reabsorption, you give yourself a bing that is sufficiently moist to the last bite. You can do otherwise and it will be fine; I only say this to help ensure, what I believe, the optimal xian bing. In terms of filling your meat pie, I think lamb is best. For starters, lamb itself has more flavor than alternatives of beef and pork. Secondly, this type of food is borne out of the Northern Chinese Islamic cooking. Abrahamic religion and lamb go together like hand in glove. (This is not to suggest Beijing Pie House is an Islamic establishment, I only read this bit about the origin from TasteAtlas.com). And then, with lamb, it makes sense to pair it with cilantro, a perfect marriage. This is A3 on the menu. Also the meat pancakes are good. Strata of ultrathin flatbread and your choice of meat are stacked and then cooked on the griddle. The exterior layers of bread are seared crisp and brown. The interiors are steamed and soft. (This strikes a textural similarity with lasagna). Good too is an omasum tripe salad with cilantro and chili sesame oil. read more

Came here after hearing that a food writer for the LA times always used to come here because it was his favorite restaurant. I failed to view that the owners have changed since then. With that said I will say there lamb and green onion pie was decent but not the best pie I've tried. I also ordered braised beef as an appetizer which is just sliced cold beef, it had kind of a dry rubber texture to it. Definitely not something I'd ever order again. Staff spoke just barely enough English so if you are coming here expect to figure out the menu on your own and a different type of service. They will ask what you want to order and drop your food off but that's it. The restaurant itself is pretty run down and dirty looking. Probably the worst bathroom I've ever been to at a small restaurant. read more

Very very poor. Never come here. Service is too too too terrible, especially old guy!

I've been to this plaza a million times to get my lashes done and this is the first time I came to this place. Parking is available right in front. Not a fancy looking place with a few tables inside. I got their leek and pork pie and omg idk where to begin. The wait was a bit long like 15-20 mins but I think it's cus they're literally freshly making it in the back. There was some soup in there and the taste was just phenomenal. I wish I ordered 2 orders tbh. That's how good it was. I will def be back!! read more

This place is DELICIOUS!! Don't expect someplace high end or anything, you're here for the food which slaps. I didn't take any pictures, but we ordered Pan fried shrimp/pork dumplings, beef with green onion pies, and the chive and eggs pies. Super good, crispy outsides, burning hot (the juice from the pies literally burned me lol but worth it), had me thinking about it the next few days. I also felt intimidated since it's a very Chinese establishment but the owner was really nice haha he was funny read more

Haven't been here in a long time. Was craving some chinese pie and this place never seems to disappoint. Customer service was amazing, food takes longer because they make it fresh. Highly recommend read more

Update: Ownership changed during the pandemic. The last time we were here, the dumplings tasted ....WEIRD...in a "has this meat gone bad and why is there such a sour taste?!" way. The pies tasted better but still not quite like the original. We'll forever miss the original Beijing Pie House - I will have to visit Beijing for dumplings that good again. So sad. :( Original review 5/20/2017: First time visit: Get the shrimp and pork dumplings (boiled) -BEST I've ever had. Honestly I don't even remember having dumplings this good when I lived in China (not a northerner) Skip the beijing style noodles (杂酱面） - it was mediocre at best and nowhere near as good as the ones we had in Beijing last May. The beef rolls are good...the lamp pies are juicy...the sliced potatoes are good. Can't wait to go back and try more items..but i am decidedly getting the dumplings again next time - maybe the pan fried ones this time. p.s. yes we saw a couple being asked to move to a two-top from a four-top after they sat down...we got lucky (party of 2 at a 4-top) and didn't have to move. phew... pps: they didn't offer us the corn soup thingy that people mentioned on yelp and I forgot to ask for it. :( read more

How been here for a long time! Tonight at 7:45pm I order beef and seafood Pie..... New owner again! Disappointed again! The filling is good but the fire oil is bad! Never go back again! read more

We ordered pick green onion and beef green onion meat pies, they are soooo good and juicy.

Came in for lunch today and got the pork and green onion pie and wonton soup. The wonton soup was yummy and comforting, but the star was the meat pie. The pies were sooo juicy. Came out crispy and piping hot. The woman who served us was very nice and gave us recommendations. This place is legit. Can't wait to come back and try other pies. read more

Taken a few friends here as they heard of this place being so good. I've been here before on a dumpling crawl. The pies here are filled with meat packed with flavor and juices. You'll have to vent the pie before biting into it or risk squirting your neighbor when the juices escape the pie. read more

I gave them 5 -stars just purely on the House Special Pie. it was the best beijing pie in the entire valley! there are wholesome shrimps inside, and very tasty too. the service is ok. i think because we were Chinese speaking customers, so the wait staff didn't pay us too much attention. although the utensils are stored on every table, we had to ask for spoons to consume our soup. That's when the wait staff realized there were any spoons available at our table. we ordered the House Special Pie, Pumpkin Dumplings, Seaweed & Egg Flower Soup. The place isn't too big, I think if there are over 40 patrons that decide to eat in-house, they'd be having problems seating all 40. Overall, I don't have any complaints, although the AC wasn't on, so I cannot tell if the place will be hot during the hot summer months. read more

Soooo yummy. Service was amazing as well. Tony really does his big one. Very funny and has a good attitude as well. Definitely try their meat pies so delish! I also love their beef rolls . read more

We were on a food tour. We got the beef pies. They were delicious. Want to try more. I didn't go inside but the owner was attentive

Just get the meat pies and corn meal soup... everything else is kinda meh. I love the lamb pie and the house pie and that's our usual. It's about $10 for 4 pies (that's one order) and it's soooooooooooo good. Everything is reasonable in price and comes out quickly. Easy on biting your pie initially, there's lot of soup - if you eat it over the corn meal soup, it'll flavor it. Food is solid and we love it there. $25 minimum for credit card usage. There's a sign up by the counter. The ladies are nice and efficient. Small parking lot shared amongst a few restaurants and boba crush. read more

I have been to Beijig Pie House many times and somehow forgot to write a review about it. Well here it is. When we first discovered this place, we were craving for dumplings. Then we found out they had more than just meat pies and dumplings. After trying all kind of things on the menu, it's safe for me to tell you, just order meat pies and a corn meal soup. Everything else is unnecessary. Personally I really like leek with pork meat pie and I would recommend it over the lamb with green onions. Overall experience was ok. Service didn't really exist, but they would come if waved. Food was tasty but I feel a lot of msg was used. Even though, I would still go back when I got the cravings. read more

The meat pies are to die for - cooked to order, with sizzling hot soup inside, and a variety of meats and vegetables to choose from. Everything else, like the dumplings, is good but not as exceptional as the meat pies (and can be more commonly found elsewhere). The staff are friendly and efficient. The location is simple: a counter for ordering and tables to sit at. There is a parking lot, but it can get packed during lunchtime. My personal favorites are the lamb with green onions or cilantro. When my friends and I go, we usually get an assortment of lamb, pork, and beef meat pies, which you can't go wrong with. read more

Carb city but it is the bomb! Juicy meat pies (liquid literally squirted out onto our plates) and dumplings, and delicious liangban appetizer. We had a pumpkin, shrimp, and pork fried dumpling; sounds weird but it was alright. I prefer the meat pies over the dumplings. My favorite dish was actually their cold tripe (contains cilantro) - it was spicy, savory, and delicious. No one else at the table was raving about it, which mean more for me! read more
