This is a very unassuming restaurant, it's super underrated. They took over the same spot as a former "pie" house. Pies, pancakes and dumplings were all delicious. Here's what we ate: pork and shrimp dumplings - this was my favorite, it was tasty, even the dumpling wrapper had flavor to it even being boiled. Beef & green onion pancake - the pancake was crispy, flaky and delicious. Lamb & green onion pie - super juicy inside. Careful, the juice is HOT when it gets to your table. When you bite into it it will dribble. Garlic noodles - my friend enjoyed this a lot. It had a slight sweetness in the sauce. We ordered a lot for 2 people and the guy totally judged us!!! But, dude, come on, we knew we wanted to take the leftovers home! It was super empty when we got there, as in no one sitting in the dining room which seats about 20 ish people total. The parking lot is small and they share it with 2 other restaurants, a dessert place and a couple of other stores. Definitely go in the off hour or find a spot on the street. read more

There aren't a lot of places to get beef pies, and yet it's one of my favorite things to eat! So, when I come across a place that has it, it's a must try! I recommend coming here if you're looking for beef pies and alike. They actually have different varieties to choose from! I tried the OG and it didn't disappoint. One drawback is that it takes about 15-20 min for an order so best to plan ahead and order enough the first time around. This is one of those hole in the wall Chinese joints so don't come looking for a fancy setting. Seems to be family owned and operated. The gentleman who helped us was nice. Looking forward to coming back when the craving hits again! read more

What kind of pies does Beijing Pie House serve? You won't find cherry pies or chicken pot pies here. Their meat pies (xian bing) are large hockey-puck shaped "dumplings" filled with lamb, pork, or beef. Pork and Green Onion Pies: The four pies are fried, which makes the wrapper pleasantly crispy, chewy, and delicate all at once. Be careful on your first bite because these things are really juicy. There's so much tasty broth that you could fill three spoons. The filling is a blend of minced pork and scallions. Each one is pretty hefty, and your chopstick grip strength is definitely tested. Make a dipping sauce with the vinegar and delicious chili crisp oil. Ordering: Go straight to the counter and place your order. It'll take about 15 minutes as everything is made to order. For orders under $30, it is cash only. Dining Area: They have about a dozen tables inside. Parking: There's a little parking lot. read more

Jin Hai Pie House - Pork and Green Onion Pies - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

This place was my favorite place to get Chinese when it was still called Beijing pie house, they moved to Alhambra right before covid hit and I guess it wasn't kind to them. That being said I came by recently to see if it was just a name change or a recipe change. The recipe definitely changed a bit, it's slightly more bland now but honestly if I'm ever in the mood for a pie again I'd still be down to come here. read more

Seeing that there are a few decent RECENT reviews of this place, we decided to give this place another try. I am glad we did. Is it as good as the former Beijing Pie House? NOPE. Is it much much better than the early days of new management? You bet!! Lamb and onion pie: this has now become my new #1. Very juicy super hot squirters, so watch out! Shrimp and pork dumplings - panfried: my old favorites. But they are not quite as flavorful as how they used to be. The size of the filling, the crunch of the outside crust, and the juiciness factors are on par with the previous version though so I still enjoy them a lot. Beef and green onion pancake: love the crust but it needs more favor. Pretty good though. Shrimp and pork dumplings - boiled: just like the panfried version, they're juicy with a sizable filling. However, maybe the boiling process further dilutes the flavor, these are even less flavorful than the panfried ones. I had to make a dipping sauce for them . Overall the shrimp and pork dumplings are only at about 80% tastiness level compared to the Beijing Pie House days. As a side note, I'd tried mama lu's and Luscious Dumplings. Neither was as good as the old BPH. Jin hai at its current level is better than both in terms of pies and dumplings and is my choice over those two.  Staff were friendly but ...inexperienced. Didn't ask what we'd like to drink (upside is that they didn't try to upsell anything either). Sat around for 10m before I realized neither of us even got a glass of water. Had to ask for water and they came without ice. On the flip side, they did give us free pastry. Like I said, friendly people but a little lacking in restaurant business acumen - gotta sell at least some soft drinks to increase the profit margin! :) read more

I haven't been here in a while but the food still tastes great. I called in an order for 3 items. *Pork and green onion pie Omg that was so delicious with the juicy filling and nice chewy dough. *Beef and green onion pancake I absolutely love the layers of meat and pancake. It's very tasty and reminds me of a lasagna without sauce lol *Shrimp, pork and leek pan-fried dumplings I wished the filling had more leek but overall it was delicious and juicy This place is worth trying out for these items. I've never been dissapointed at all with their food. read more

You're here for the pie. They have so many fillings and they hot and and soupy. Each order comes with 4 pieces so bring friends for sharing - you can't possibly leave here hungry. Highly recommend The House Special Pie - it comes with a tender ground pork filling and an entire shrimp in every piece. The Lamb & Green Onion Pie has a gamier, meatier finish, and it is amazing. We tried a couple of apps: Cold Cucumber with Garlic and Cold Tofu & Thousand Year Egg. They're refreshing for when it's hot outside but focus on the pie. Pork & Cabbage Dumplings are well-made, much like what you'd have at your auntie's dinner party, and the Shrimp & Pork Wonton Soup is kinda of a sleeper hit. Savory soup, delicious wontons. TLDR: Try all the pies. read more

I was sad to learn that the Beijing Pie House in Alhambra had closed but so happy to know that this location was still open! This is a small hole in the wall that specializes in meat pies and dumplings. A no frills menu that includes appetizers such as cucumber salad and kelp and extensive meat pie and dumpling (boiled/panfried) options. Both the meat pies and dumplings we got were cooked to perfection - super juicy and flavorful with a crispy wrapper! The ladies working there only spoke a little bit of English but were really nice! I will definitely be back! Items order: carrot/beef meat pie, egg/chives meat pie, lamb meat pie, beef roll, pork pancake, pork/shrimp pan fried dumplings, pork/cabbage boiled dumplings, cucumber salad, kelp salad read more

Who would have thunk there are pies in Chinese cuisine, but they do, from the Beijing area. The northern influence from Mongolia and Xinjiang created this type cuisine. Very different from the Cantonese cuisine which is most prevalent in this country. Certainly very ethnic, and if you are not adventurous this is not for you. English is not spoken here, so be ready for some communication difficulties if you don't speak Mandarin. The food here is delicious, so be adventurous and try it out. read more

The server didn't speak much English but we managed to order. We can hear several years ago when this was known as the Beijing Pie House or something like that. The menu is basically the same. The pie is pan fried and has a soup broth inside. It could have been fried a little longer in my opinion. I would like another item next time. We brought 2 pies home and they tasted okay but I recommend eating them there while they are fresh. The decor is nothing special. They charge extra for credit card so bring cash. read more

Jin Hai Pie House - Beef and green onion meat pie - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Pretty decent food for the price, depending on what you get. I got the xiao long bao ($10.99), scallion pancake ($6.99), and beef and green onion pie ($12.49). The beef and green onion pie came in 4s, and were about 3 inches in diameter. They were a savory with slight umami, but it was a very dull savoriness, partly due to the monotonous iron-like beef flavor without enough scallion or ginger. Its flavor fell flat. It was juicy and lightly crispy with a browned taste on the outside. The green onion pancake was soft on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside. Strong complex bright umami notes from the onions. I prefer the crispier ones, but for a softer one, this was decent, but a bit floury. Portions were not bad: it came with 6 pieces that were 4 inches at their widest part of each pancake slice. Still probably not worth the price in my opinion for the lack of meat. The xiao long bao was good for $11. Its savoriness was balanced, unlike the beef and green onion pie. The blend of meaty porkiness and complex scallion savoriness was pleasantly contrasted by a bright light gingery sweetness. The skin was a bit thick on some pieces, but at least it was more durable than other versions. Some pieces also had less juice than others. SERVICE: The waiters were friendly, spoke a little English, and served the food quickly. Sometimes, they were not always present in the main room for a brief duration. They messed up the order on the receipt, overcharging me by charging me for "Vagie chao main ($10.99)" instead of scallion pancake ($6.99), but they also undercharged by forgetting the drinks, so I paid for what I should have basically. AMBIANCE: there are a few tables, but there is no actual dishware, only styrofoam boxes with foil manually placed inside and styrofoam plates. There were not too many decorations. Additionally, the ingredients and other supplies were stored along the wall behind the counter in the main room. The menus had English as well, and lighting was alright. read more

Authentic Chinese spot with piping hot meat pies. Came here with a couple of friends for dinner on a Thursday evening around 7pm, and were seated immediately. They seem to speak Mandarin only, but they were still friendly. The menu is in English. Free parking is available in the lot. Credit cards are accepted. Indoor dining only (no outdoor dining available). We got an order of lamb pies (4), pork and shrimp wonton soup, and beef roll. The lamb pies were very tasty and had a lot of juice (like a xiao long bao). The beef roll was a bit cold, but there was a good amount of meat and was very filling. The wonton soup also had a generous amount of wontons and were could be split among 2-3 people. The owner/waiter was really nice and brought us hot tea. read more

*** I saw Visa/Mastercard/American Express/Discovery stickers on the door, but best to bring cash just in case *** This restaurant used to be called Beijing Pie House, but the old name is in the history book and it is now called Jin Hai Pie House. One of my friends visited this place and told me their meat pies tasted exactly the same as meat pies from Jin Hai Pie House. In fact the menu looked exactly the same as the menu from Beijing Pie House except the name change. Few months ago I had an opportunity to stop by and ordered a takeout. The parking lot for the plaza is pretty small, so it may not be a bad idea to park at neighboring plaza and walk to this plaza instead. [Service]: One of the old guy didn't wear mask, but the cashier did wear one. Cashier preferred to speak Mandarin and I was told to wait outside for my takeout. After 30 minutes, I began to lose patient and walked back into the restaurant only to learn that my order was ready long ago. Does the staff just don't bother with anyone waiting outside? *** #11 Pork & Onion Meat Pie (4 piece for $10.99): This order was the only saving grace because these pies tasted just as good as before. Juicy on the inside and pies were full of flavors. *** 5-star on food, but minus 1-star on terrible takeout service and minus another star on that one guy who didn't wear a mask. read more

Truly one of a kind dumpling house with authentic pan-fried meat pies from Northern China. Excellent potstickers also - we ordered 3-ingredients potsticker and shrimp potsticker, both very good!

Wonton soup is light and delicious, complementing the dumplings and mea pies perfectly. read more

Jin Hai Pie House - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

You have to know what to get and what not to get. Let me tell you: their pies are good. Like the way I remembered Beijing Pie House used to be. Their homeland meat cake lacks in meat but the texture is flaky, crunchy and yum so don't even bother upgrading to more expensive meat cuz you won't be able to know the difference. So meat pie, homeland meat cake, def get those two. Dumplings, sure - get those as well. Now everything else here: Beijing style noodle, Beef Brisket appetizer. These are what I would say is disappointing. I did get these to go. But they gave loads of noodles, like giant portion and very little black bean sauce. The beef brisket is tasteless and the portion is teeny tiny. Unlike the pic, where they show the brisket all lined up on a plate. So def go for the meat cakes and the meat pies. But go elsewhere for noodles and stuff. read more

If you loved the original Beijing Pie House, but then were sorely disappointed by the change of ownership during the pandemic, I have some pretty good news for you: As of February 2024, the quality of everything, especially the dumplings, is much much closer to the way things were when it was still Beijing Pie House. I'd say.. the pies are like 95% as good, and the dumplings are about 85% as good. In other words, a MASSIVE improvement over what I experienced at Jin Hai a couple years ago. Keep in mind that, in my opinion (and my Chinese wife's opinion) even dumplings that are "only" 80% as good as the old Beijing Pie House are still better than ALL the other dumpling options we've tried in SGV. Nobody else comes close to the dumplings we fell in love with when we were actually in Beijing. The beef pancake dish is amazing as well! We also enjoyed the garlic cucumber salad as an appetizer. Really good, but kiss your spouse beforehand:) One complaint that actually prevents me from giving 5 stars is the price point. I know, I know, inflation etc.. but seriously this place is a hole in the wall if you've ever seen one, and somehow it cost us $80 (with tip) to have 4 pretty basic dishes here. Something's gotta give, cuz if people can't afford to go out to eat, then restaurants will suffer. You can't just keep raising prices and expect customers to suck it up. Groceries aren't cheap either, but they're a lot cheaper than restaurants. Ranting about the current state of our economy aside, the people working there are really friendly, and if you like Northern Chinese cuisine, this is (in my experience), your best option in SGV. read more

Jin Hai pie house, formally known as Beijing pie house is just okay, some items were not as good as before, but other items was just as good. Cold cucumber salad with garlic- 2/5 salty. Sliced cucumbers in a bowl, sitting in a pool of seasoned soy sauce, needed to shake off as much of the soy as possible to be bearable. Spicy beef tripe salad - 5/5, still good as before, cold & crispy tripe, thinly sliced, marinated in a spicy, numbing sauce. Jiajiang mein - 3/5, salty, received a bowl of plain noodles with assorted sliced and diced vegetables, a small bowl of sauce comes with it, and you are suppose to add to noodles and mix it yourself, caution with applying sauce as it is extremely salty, start with a third of the mixture first, then add to taste. Beef roll wrap - 2/5, salty, normally served warm & savory with a hint of sweetness from the hoisin sauce, this one was cold & salty, not good. Beef & onion pan fried dumplings- 5/5, great flavor, hot & crispy, burning hot juices inside. Pork & shrimp pan fried dumplings- 5/5, also great, same as other dumplings, awesome when mixing in with vinegar & hot chili oil. House special dumpling- 5/5, another great one, large hockey puck shape dumpling, pack with a large meat patty inside. All in all, it was a hit or miss, just depends on what you order, but it appears that all the pan fried dumplings were on point with flavor and texture, tripe salad is another good one, all the others items ordered were sub par or below average, salty being the main issue. Service was great, very friendly and attentive. I would come back for the dumplings and the tripe salad. read more

When we made our take out phone order, we thought Beijing Pie House was back in business. We ordered house special pie, and lamb and green onion pie. We also got a free corn meal congee since we made 2 pie orders.. We were so excited because we haven't had a Chinese meat pie since 2019. When we got to the restaurant, we noticed the restaurant name was Jin Hai Pie House Homemade Kitchen, not Beijing Pie House. Oh no... They had one curbside seating and no inside dining. The cashier spoke English and very pleasant to work with. No issues with the service starting from the phone order. We picked up a to go menu and on the second page of the menu, we noticed they still used Beijing Pie House's IG account. Maybe they just took over after we went last. Since it was two different restaurant names, we will try our best not to compare them. Let's start with the pies. The fillings were small and 2 out of the 8 pies we got had a hole on it. Sure enough, no juice inside and dried out. The pie casing wasn't chewy enough for our liking. Even though the same menu was used, it was definitely not the same chef since we didn't jump for joy after our first bites. The corn meal congee was a joke. There was no corn in it but corn flavored water. Overall experience was a fail. We were full but far from enjoying our food. At this point, we wouldn't go back. read more

Disappointed. Nothing close to the original Beijing Pie house despite the fact they claimed they are the original team. Quality is a huge, huge drop. The dough wasn't what it used to taste like.

Recently returned from Beijing and was craving meat pies (again!). We actually had meat pies while in Beijing at "Beijing Pie" (well known place filled with locals) and we both 100% felt that the meat pies from JHPH are way better (but at 5x the price!). So happy to know that what we have at home is actually better and we don't have to fly half way around the world for it! read more

Came here for dinner last night with a couple friends and the second I saw the food on other peoples table I knew I was in for a treat. Ordered the lamb and green onion meat pie as well as a lamb, and I think a shrimp pan fried dumpling and it did not disappoint. Everything had a juicy filling, the dough was soft. Dip it with the chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar combination and wow it was so good. Service was standard and food came out in a timely manner Only giving it a four star because it definitely could be cleaner but honestly it's definitely worth coming back I don't think you'll regret it! read more

Haven't been here in a while. Definitely not as good as when I first went during Chinese New Year after they changed from Beijing pie house to the new ownership. Don't get me wrong, I still think they make the best meat pie stuffing, definitely better than the original Beijing pie house. But overall, just wasn't as good as the beginning of the year. The skin of the pies was sticky and super soft inside in the center, when pies aren't fully cooked or not cooked long enough that's what happens. I just ate around it. One of the lamb pies, even the meat tasted a bit raw, my husband said one of the lamb pies the meat was super dry. Lastly, some of the pies were broken, that shouldn't have happened, all the juice leaked. I read some reviews people complained that there's oil coming out of the pies, well, that's how it supposed to be, therefore the pies shouldn't break. Their Xiao long Bao was way too sweet, too much sugar. Their cabbage appetizer was sweet and sour, that's not how it supposed to taste, it was way too sweet and wasn't supposed to be sour. Supposed to sprinkle some vinegar to keep the cabbage crunchy, but they used way too much. The cabbage was too oily, soaked in red chilly oil with no dried chilly and peppercorn. I am from Beijing so I know my Beijing dishes. I felt uneasy all night after eating their pies, couldn't even fall asleep. I would have given it one star for raw pie that they served (even though they had no business at the time I placed my order) but I still believe their pies' stuffings are the best in LA, an extra star for that. read more

This location has always been a meat pie place for at least over 10 years. I think perhaps there was a change in ownership but the restaurant theme has always been the same. I enjoyed Beijing pie house esp the one located in Alhambra which is not in business as of now. So I tried this place. The pies were good, I wouldn't say the quality was that much different than Beijing pie house. It is a chinese mom & pop shop so you would probably be best accommodated if you can speak mandarin. read more

[尋味LA]無德老人打免提 華奸推薦大饀餅 當我終於找到這家店，站在門口看着店招時，我想到的是「華人裡出了奸細」了；算什麼？漢奸？華奸？ 為什麼這麼說？這裡有故事。 我之所以會來喫這家店，是因為CNN有個「美國最佳50家中餐館」的榜單，其中排名第二的，是在蒙特利公園市的Beijing Pie House，我是慕（砸）名（場）而去的。美國人評中國菜？這就象米其林上海榜單一樣是個笑話，又象是中國人評了個全美最佳披薩榜。 之所以排第二，是因為加州以C打頭，亞利桑那州A打頭，排第一。哈哈，不算數的！然而不管怎麼說，怎麼也算是「全美五十佳」，加州佔了十二家，厲害吧？不過，當我看到小肥羊也名列榜單時，說實話，我並沒有拿這榜單當回事。 等我到達Beijing Pie House時，我沒有找到，因為沒有一家店叫這個名字，等我在一家衹有「大餡餅」的店前來來回回走了幾圈還用頭在櫥窗前張望了幾次，以至於店員開了門來詢問「有什麼問題」時，我才知道這家就是。 一定是出了奸細了，一家沒有英文店名的店居然上了CNN的榜單，肯定是中國人帶去的。 走進店門，角落裡坐了個男人，拿着電話大聲地聊着天，用免提聊的，一店堂的人都能聽見。他的面前並沒有喫的，又旁若無人地打着電話，讓我一度以為他是老闆。 菜單挺簡單的，餡餅、京東肉餅、捲餅、水餃是主打，無非就是牛羊豬與韭菜茴香大蔥的各種組合，外加西葫蘆與龍利魚的一些陪襯，我才不要喫龍利魚水餃呢，我要喫鮁魚水餃！除此之外，有幾個凉菜，牛肉黃瓜白菜海帶之類，並不誘人，還有麵條與餛飩，也沒有讓我心動。 我點了最貴的京東肉餅，羊肉大蔥餡的，12.99美元，要比豬肉的貴二美元呢！可是光喫餅不行啊，總得有點湯湯水水的來「送」一下吧？我沒有點餛飩，那感覺就象是「大餅捲饅頭就着米飯喫」，我是美食家，不是飯桶。 衹有二種湯，紫菜湯和番茄蛋湯，居然要6.59美元，這種味精湯要賣六塊五？搶錢啊？！沒辦法，來碗紫菜湯吧。 那個討厭的家伙還在用免提打電話，為什麼中國人就沒有一點公德意識呢？ 等得蠻久的，等的時候看着服務員在另一桌剪二荊條，真想去幫忙。 湯來了，挺大的一碗，面上浮着我不喜歡的香菜，可能不放香菜的話，也實在太單調了吧？湯的温度很高，這點要表揚，有時喝到温温的湯，真是想打人。紫菜湯能有什麼花頭？紫菜、蝦皮，還能放什麼？對，他們放了黃瓜片，挺不錯，還打了一個蛋花，一下子讓湯看着豐富起來。 湯中並沒有蝦皮，本來也就是騙騙人的，不放也罷。喝了一口湯，很鮮，不是味精的鮮，而是骨湯的鮮味，湯並不是清水燒的，而是骨湯燒的，本來就有麵有餛飩，用骨湯做，才對得起這個價格吧？ 湯真的不錯，紫菜不是那種一碰水就爛的，而是一大篷一大篷有骨子的紫菜，黃瓜與蛋花也相得益彰，竟然使得香菜也不討厭起來，讓人覺得一碗紫菜湯，就應該是這個樣子的。 這是我喫過的最好喫的飯店做的紫菜湯了，其實我一生中可能也就點過這一次紫菜湯吧？在有選擇的時候，誰會單獨去點個紫菜湯啊？但是說一千道一萬，這道紫菜湯的確非常好喫，打到九分吧！在我這裡，七點八分、八點二分就是很吝嗇的高分了，九分壓根就是絕無僅有的超高分了。 在喝了二小碗湯後，京東肉餅終於來了。有人說，應該是「京都肉餅」，因為那是北京的喫法。其實不是，那是河北省香河的喫法，香河在北京的東邊，所以叫京東肉餅；那一塊都出肉餅，其中以香河出的最好喫最有名，漸漸地京東肉餅專指河北香河的做法。還有種說法是此餅由北京以東夏墊鎮楊景祿(別名大麻七)所創製，夏墊鎮與香河東西向在一條線上，南北差二十五公里。 京東肉餅的做法很有趣，我會在《下廚記》系例中說到，反正一個京東肉餅，應該是四層麵餅三層肉。 這家的京東肉餅一份是八塊，从切塊來看，應該是一到二隻肉餅切出來的。無論从麵餅、調味、形制及至蔥肉的配比等來看，都相當不錯，唯一美中不足的是羊肉實在太少了，翻個一倍二倍才能讓我過癮嘛！ 瑕不掩瑜，湯和餅都很好喫，除了邊上有個討厭的家伙用免提打電話外，別的都很好。等我快走的時候，那家伙掛了電話，又來了個女伴開始點單，我要是老闆，這種家伙早就被我趕出去了。 美國不是講究「reserve the right to refuse anyone」嗎？這種人就該被趕出去。 read more

Pretty delicious Beijing pies -- the juice from the inside pours out from each bite you take! We ordered the lamb/squash and the pork/leek pies, the pork and leek pie definitely being the better of the two. It's packed with flavor and has a nice crunch from the outside, however it was not nearly as juicy as the lamb pie. The lamb pie had a slightly thicker exterior which made it more doughy, though the filling was still savory. Would definitely try if you've never had Beijing pies before! read more

So been wondering where Beijing Pie House has gone and in place is Jin Hai. Everything on the menu looks almost fairly similar! Also the good side is now this place speaks english! So we ordered a few things: 1. Lamb and onion pie - comes in 4! The flavors are good. The skin though was very soggy. Usually its crispy! You still get the juices flowing out so beware! I can't quiet pinpoint if its less salty or just less flavorful but it wasnt as "strong" as a lamb flavor that we are used too. So that's good for folks who dont usually like lamb. 2. Spicy beef tripe - this was not as spicy as before! it was almost bland and watered down. This used to have the numbness spicy that hits the right spot. 3. Squash, pork, and shrimp dumplings - large individually sized dumplings. So you felt the quality in it but personally wasn't feeling the squash. It was too overpowering. 4. Fried Noodles - so they ran out of meat so its shrimp or vegetables and the noodles look bland and simple. i dont think we would come back but it was a good resemblance of what used to be there. Weirdly the lady i order from on the phone was a young girl just standing outside of the restaurant. So when i first walked in i saw no one at the front desk. read more

2.5 stars/5. I've been looking forward to finally getting food from here for months, but unfortunately was left a little disappointed. I was SO excited I ate a pie immediately after purchase in the parking lot, but actually had to eat an Altoids after to check that I didn't have COVID and lost my sense of taste/smell.. Alas. I'll probably go back and try a different pie in the future just given how much I love meat pies as a concept. Orders: #1 Summer squash and lamb pie: + Well-fried and juicy - Completely flavorless. Needed to douse with their chilly oil and vinegar #34 Spicy beef tripe: + Fresh, good texture. ~ Flavor decent, not very spicy. Also had to add lao gan ma. #53 Corn meal congee: Complimentary and was delicious. I see another review upset about there not being any corn in this and there isn't supposed to be! It's just ground maize and is perfect for eating pies with. read more

Jin Hai Pie House - The food that I was waiting. - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

This restaurant took over for Beijing Pie House. The menu is the same. We came for take out today and got our usual lamb and beef meat pies, fried dumplings and spicy tribe for appetizer. The pies are still incredible. They were a bit less salty than before which we love. With some soy sauce, vinegar and chilly oil they were perfect. The tribe and dumplings were exactly the same as before. We've tried meat pies at many other places but the meat fillings were very dry and hard. They are juicy, plumb and tender here. All in all still the best place for meat pies. As a bonus we saw the owner grinding the meat himself so we are sure they do not skimp on quality. Glad we decided to give this place a try and not base it on previous yelp reviews. Times are tough so let's all support local family owned businesses! read more

Food is not the same as precovid it used to be so yummy but now it's greasy and made me sick.

Delicious pies and dumplings. Got the beef and green onion pies and the pork shrimp pumpkin dumplings. Both were delicious. The beef pies were seasoned perfectly, flavorful, but not too salty. The pumpkin pork shrimp dumplings were really really good. Something you don't find in most other Chinese restaurants. The owner was quite kind and friendly. Support this mom and pop shop! Quality place. read more

Fortunately, someone answered the phone. The manager does not speak a single word of English, so I had to bust out my Canto-Mandarin. Luckily, I got a passing grade because he understood every single word I uttered. Apparently, there was an ownership change, and it is now called Jin Hai Pie House. The manager assured me that the employees, as well as the food, all remained the same. One word, "Excellent". Actually, I'll add five more words, "Get the Beijing meat pies!" Their Beijing meat pies are amazingly good, and cooked to perfection. The skin, the meat, the taste...everything was excellent. read more
