Looks like they had an ownership change which worried me. Repeated visits since then have been good. Things have changed, it looks different inside, added new stuff but, the same old stuff hasn't changed, fantastic. Every new thing I've tried has been really good. Inside used to look utilitarian, which was fine. Now it's much more restaurant like. Parking is ok. There's spots in the back and in front on the street but traffic is flying fast so use your brain and don't get dead. When they give it to you it's fresh out of the oven piping hot. I will continue returning for the delicious English meat pies. read more

I first found this spot when I lived in the area, and now I make it a point to stop by anytime I'm nearby because I genuinely miss it. It's a small, no-frills to-go shop in Los Alamitos that absolutely delivers when it comes to comfort food. The meat pies are the highlight -- you can't go wrong with either the chicken or the beef. They're hearty, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying. And if you're getting a meat pie, definitely order it with the gravy. It takes everything up a notch and really complements the flavors. They also have a great selection of pastries that are just as impressive. The staff has changed over the years, but they're generally friendly and keep things moving efficiently. Overall, it's a simple spot that does what it does very well -- and that's exactly why I keep coming back. read more

Full disclosure, I am only reviewing dessert not the meat pies. We already had lunch so we were just looking for a way to cap off a meal. Banana Pudding (4/5 - good flavor but needs more banana in it). Peach Turnover (3.5/5 - nice peaches). Cherry Turnover (3/5 - good texture but lacking cherry flavor). Apple Turnover (1/5 - spiced apple is not for me). Peanut Butter Cookie (4/5 - soft and good texture in the middle with a nice crunch on the edges). The turnovers would be much better if they were hot (or at least warm). I'm going to try our leftovers tonight, heat them up and add some ice cream. Maybe you need to heat them. If so, they should have recommended it. Service was just ok and they forgot one of my items so we had to go back. I'm being generous with 4/5 but I want to come back for the meat pies. read more

I stopped by Pasty Pantry around 11:45 a.m. on a Tuesday, and the place was quiet. It is a true pickup only spot. You walk in, order at the counter, and head right back out. Parking is easy with a 24 minute green zone out front and a little parking in the back. I ordered a large beef pasty with a large gravy and a peach turnover. The gravy was the highlight for me. Rich, flavorful, and the part of the meal I would actually recommend. The pasty itself was basic. Not bad, just very straightforward. Same with the peach turnover. It was sweet, but it was missing the warm spices that usually give it a little depth. Overall the food felt more on the plain side, which could be perfect for someone with a simpler palate or someone who likes kid friendly seasoning. Service was quick and friendly, and the spot is convenient if you need something warm in a hurry. For me, it was a one time visit. The gravy was great, but the rest did not land on my must return list. read more

It's hard for me to give this place a low review I've been going here since the 90s , it seems like since my lunch break is after 2pm they are giving me old pasty's. Never had an issue before since I found out new ownership. I have them 3 tries now I'm out !!! It was awesome while it lasted but my food was horrible old and the meat is pink . It's saugy old pasty. Inspect them before leaving it's my fault . read more

While at a basketball tournament in Cerritos with my daughter time aloud for me to drive 5 miles south and go down memory lane. In the past, it was only beef and chicken and maybe turkey, today they offered chorizo as well as sausage and pepper. I opted for the sausage and pepper and boy was I treated. It was delicious . This place, never disappoints, thank you. I'm glad I picked up an extra couple for later on today or tomorrow read more

Pasty kitchen was recommended by my sisters, and we were in the area, so I decided to place an order online for pickup. 24 minute curbside parking is available right in front. I ordered a variety of items, including a 6 pack of their beef pasty (comes with 2 gravy containers), veggie pasty, apple turnovers and a broccoli salad. I also got an extra side of beef gravy, which was so good that I may or may not have drank it while taking bites of the hot delicious pasty (thin flaky pastry crust filled with ground beef, potatoes, carrots and onions). Will definitely be back again! read more

Such a comfort food staple, and with frozen and fresh food options! Their pasties are MASSIVE and just so warm and flavorful it makes you all cozy inside. I love the beef one and get extra sauce and love to eat it outside when it's fall or winter as it just warms you up. The prices are super reasonable and I definitely recommend stocking up on their frozen options for quick and filling dinners at home! The legend keeps its status! read more

Delicious especially the St. Patrick's Day, corned, beef, potato, and cabbage pasties! Make sure you get a large beef gravy with your order! read more

A simple menu with pastries baked with simple ingredients. The flavor, however, is anything but simple. These meat filled pastries are perfection in a pastry package! My mistake was ordering individual ones instead of starting off with the family pack. Be better than me and just order the family pack. :) read more

Visited for the first time today after driving by to and from Costco. I noticed the nice calm seating area outside. The gentleman assisting me was very nice . I ended up getting a 10 box of chicken, beef, and corn beef . Also one large chicken! Simply delicious!! I will be back !! read more

I think the pasty itself is very dry. I think it could use more sauce. It's in a very secluded area. If you do get the chicken I think that it is flavorful but it is dry overall to it. I think the chorizo one lacked flavor. It felt a little bland. read more

My bf has been seeing pasty kitchen all over IG and wanted to try it. So we finally decided to try it yesterday. I really liked both the beef and chicken pies. I thought they were big and hearty with lots of filling and OMG, the gravy made it just perfect! I also liked how the store front had a big window where you can watch them making the dough and meat pies from the outside. Thought that was cool for people to pass by a see it. Parking spots are limited in the back but there is street parking as well. Pricing was decent for the amount of food you get. Like I said, the meat pies were big and filling. Overall, super tasty and would definitely come back again! read more

After hearing amazing things about this place and being only a few minutes away from the Long Beach VA, I decided to make a pit stop. Best decision ever because this place did not disappoint! I've never had a meat pie before, but they are very similar to empanadas and well who doesn't love a good empanada. They sell a variety of flavors in either small or large and two gravy options (chicken and beef). With an assortment of fruit pies and cookies. What I ordered: Small chicken with a small side of chicken gravy. Definitely my favorite. Small beef with a side of beef gravy. Also great. Small chorizo was good, but I prefer the chicken with chicken gravy. Chicken gravy is a bit more runnier and the beef gravy is thick. Both are flavorful and perfect for dipping. Broccoli salad- definitely a must if you are a fan of this salad. It's really good! Apple fruit pie takes me back to the McDonald's version from the 90's. Especially if you pop it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes. Cherry fruit pie was good, but the apple one was better. The difference between small and large comes down to how much can you eat. Keep in mind these meat pies are very hearty so I recommend getting the small one, but if you are sharing definitely get the large. I will say if you order to go, since they are fresh and packaged great, they stay warm for a while. They are easy to reheat in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes. Prices are very reasonable. The staff were friendly and helpful with going over the menu items. If there is a line, it moves pretty fast. Overall, definitely recommended! read more

Pasty Kitchen doesn't miss! Never had a bad pasty from here. Great price, great quality, great meal. My wife works at the hospital and this is her new go-to lunch pickup, and I'm so glad! It's affordable and quality, and she often will bring me home a pasty after work. They're easy to reheat and still taste great. We've tried a few different flavors and they've all been delicious so far. Excited to try more! read more

How did I not know about this place? We ordered the Pasty box. Half chicken and half beef. They gave us two types of gravy. One for the chicken and one for the beef. They were pretty big compared to other places that have somewhat of an item that is similar. We all ate before having one so we shared and it was still filling! The meat inside was very moist. Tastes good without the gravy as well. We liked the beef gravy more than the chicken one. The line can get long and it is really small inside. But they are constantly making them so the line goes pretty fast. read more

This food has history and I'm loving that this hand held hefty pie has been here for so long and no one told me about it!! Location: Katella and Los Alamitos Blvd in Los Alamitos. Not sure if this is the original location, but it is located next to a historical park and the parking is in the back and on the street. Food: All pasty's but they have mostly savory and some sweet turnovers, but you're here for the meat pies. All the pies are hefty, hearty and very filling. Very fitting for a miner who wanted a meal and didn't have to go to the surface for food. The chorizo was chock full of meat and potatoes. The italian sausage was spicy and filled with potatoes also, but oh so yummy. Definitely come hungry and GET THE GRAVY. Don't forget that one. The chicken one was awesome in my book. I'd get all three again. Service was quick and prompt if not the friendliest, but I guess the idea is to get you going again without the fuss. Summary: There are no bathrooms or indoor seating. They have some outdoor picnic tables so most people took them home or ate their pies in the car. They do sell frozen pasty's and sweet turnovers and some pasty's are on offer for the season (first visit had turkey and cranberry sauce. pastys' on offer). There is no cooling off period because as soon as the pasty's are ready hot out of the oven, they are packed and given to you pronto. Bring plenty of napkins, an empty stomach, maybe a knife to split it open or for sharing; sitting in your car to eat and DON'T FORGET THE GRAVY. I didn't experience any mushy crust and even after reheating one of the pies in my toaster oven, it still held up the next day. Definitely coming here again for a pies. Thank you, miners!!! Happy eating!! read more

Another thumbs up for a local company. We went on Saturday and there was quite a line! We pulled up and it took a minute to find parking. The line moves fast and people are always coming and going. Don't get frustrated. This place has a very focused menu. It is not a dine in place. You are here for the meat pies and maybe some desert. Don't expect to have to make a big decision with this one. They make the pies in front of you. As soon as they come out of the oven, they are packed into the box and given to the customer. They don't spend time cooling down! Hot and fresh food. The pies are good but you need to make sure you have the gravy. The pies don't have a lot of spices. Gravy makes everything better! A couple of loose ends here... there aren't any bathrooms here. Make sure you are ready as you may need to wait in line to order. Next, the kids working on Saturday didn't appear to be the happiest. They weren't rude, just not friendly. If that is going to trigger you or make you mad, stay away so the rest of us don't have to hear about it. We are there to get our order and fill up on these perfectly baked goods. For the rest of us, don't let it bother you. The pies are worth it. read more

Pasty Kitchen - Small Beef - British Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

A definite improvement of staff at this Pasty Kitchen behind the counter as we ordered our usual 2 small chicken and 2 small beef and oops only 1x peach turnover left and ok... I like Cherry. Everything was wrapped in good order. The pasties were great when we got home and yes, eating it warm is the best way to get all the flavors of the meat pasties out. Good mix of carrots and potatoes. The turnovers offer a nice sweet dessert. We will be back to Pasty Kitchen. read more

This place has really good pasty or meat pies but I go specifically for the cookies!! This place is a small take out location that offers cooked pasty and frozen ones you can take home to cook yourself! There is only room for a few people in line at the register and not much else but the line moves quick. read more

Been going here for years. Unfortunately, I went here this morning, ordered two small beef pasties, got home only to find they were both chicken. I like their food but this is just the latest example where they fall short. Why not use a different color wrapping paper or label so we can tell one from another? It ruins my day when I get the wrong thing. read more

We love this place. The beef is the wife's favorite. And we love trying the new flavors of meat pies that come out. The gravy was a little too thin today though. It could be today's batch. Or economy hitting and you guys trying where you can to make it easier on everyone without raising prices . But the thin gravy wasn't great with the order we had. Not flavorful and it ran through the pies. Again, we love this place. We just would love the gravy to be thicker and flavorful like it always has been. read more

These meat pies are shooting gooood!!! I have been going here for 51 years. Everything is the same ans absolutely delicious!!!!

I still continue to go back hopefully to hope that they go back to the original recipe. I get so disappointed each time I try it again and again now they have kids. They just want a paycheck that work there and the recipe is definitely not the same because they need to get with it you know I want this place to exist for a while while you know, but it's just not working out. It doesn't taste good anymore. read more

I had high hopes for Pasty Kitchen in Los Alamitos--it's a cute little spot with a simple menu. we tried the chicken, beef, and chorizo pasties. The pies are mostly filled with potato, with just a sprinkle of meat in each. Texture-wise, they're hearty, but overall, they really lack flavor on their own. The saving grace? The gravy. It's rich, well-seasoned, and definitely elevates the pasties. Dip the pie in that gravy, and you've got a pretty decent bite. Without it though, they're a bit bland. read more

I drove up Seal Beach Blvd. and made a right on Katella. Couldn't remember if Pasty had parking or not. Made a u-turn on the first light, then saw the green curb on the whole block :) Got there around 11:00a. I ordered a beef, chicken and a peach! In the few seconds while I was ordering, the place got packed. Two friendly faces takes the order, I pay and out comes a bag with my order. Pretty clean process for sure. The place is just made for quick order and pick up. This was my lunch. I enjoyed the hearty beef more than the chicken. Peach was delicious too. Will be back for more! read more

So good! Had the small chicken, hot tasty and fresh. Filling too! Can't wait to try more flavors. Small parking lot in the back, and outdoor seating available read more

A bargain lunch! A good representation of a pasty modeled after the Upper Peninsula of Mich, Cornish pasties, British pub food, and other places where they are served. Typically served with ketchup or gravy so they're not too dry, but very tasty. You can also buy frozen and keep them at home. read more

Awful experience at this location. Ordered a small chicken gravy and a large beef gravy, but was given a small chicken and a large chicken instead. Didn't realize this until I got back home. After driving miles back to fix their mistake, the same employee (glasses, dark hair frosted blonde tips, multiple piercings) was unapologetic and dismissive. The only thing that came out of his mouth was barely audible telling me I could keep the wrong order. I reached out to the restaurant's owners through their own webpage, giving them a full week to respond, and they didn't bother replying. That shows me they just don't care about their customers. Because of this, I will no longer be spending my money here or any of there newer locations again. read more

The service here is far better than we deserve frankly. You know how sometimes you walk into a place and the people behind the counter look like they absolutely hate their lives? Well not here thank goodness lol. The staff at Pasty Kitchen are genuinely attentive and quick moving which is a miracle because we were not the only hungry mobs descending on this place. They handle the midday rush with the kind of grace we usually only see from Olympic ice skaters. We felt totally taken care of and not judged for ordering three different types of savory pastry for a single lunch. The vibe here is perfectly chilled out which is a huge plus because who wants anxiety with their baked goods. It's got that cozy neighborhood bakery feel without being so rustic we feel like we should be milking a cow outside just to earn our meal. We are talking plenty of space and light which keeps the crowd from feeling too overwhelming even when it is packed. It is the kind of place you can actually hear yourself think over your first bite and we totally appreciate that commitment to auditory peace. This is where the magic really happens because they have so many pasty options we could barely make a decision it was glorious chaos. We are talking serious variety from classic beef to some more experimental things that surprised us in the best way. Now look we are critics so we have to mention that on a few of the savory pockets the puff pastry was a little heavy which meant we got slightly less of the delicious fillings than we dreamed of but honestly the majority of the items were perfection. Our kids lost their minds over the sweet options which is a huge victory because normally they only eat air and maybe mac and cheese. This spot is a definite win for a quick and satisfying meal. read more

I really enjoy picking dinner here for the family here once a month. Both the chicken and meat pie are delicious. I wish the size of the pies did not change when ownership did, but they are still doing a good job with the recipe. The pastries are also great. If you haven't tried them, what are you waiting for? read more

This used to be our go-to spot my husband was here so often he was practically a regular once a week. But after our last visit, we're officially done. Finding a hair in the chicken pasty was beyond unacceptable, and it completely ruined any trust we had in this place. I literally fed this to my 8 month old who loves them. What makes it worse is how disappointing it feels to say this, because we genuinely liked coming here. But no matter how good the food once was, there's no coming back from something like that. We won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this spot to anyone who values basic cleanliness. At the end of the day, there are too many great places out there to waste time on one that can't even serve food without a side of hair. read more

Super friendly service. Fast service and pasty were good. Tried the chicken and beef. They were good but completely different than a Euro pasty. In true American fashion these are much bigger. One pasty will fill you up. read more

The food and service was great. We got one of each meat pies to try and they didn't disappoint. The beef gravy was delicious. We also grabbed some of their oatmeal raisin cookies and they were soft and delicious. It's mostly to go, but they have a patio with two round tables, and thank goodness that they had one rectangular table that was ADA accesible for my father. It was not too hot, it was 74 degrees; the umbrella helped us enjoy our meal in the shade. read more

You may find yourself standing outside waiting to get into this tiny counter service shop. It's very popular. I love places that focus on a core product and nothing else. The core is the pasties available with chicken, beef, chorizo and vegetarian options. They also prepare a few side salads, some fruit turnovers and beverages. It's all you need for a complete meal No place to eat inside but there are 3 tables on the side of the building for outdoor dining. read more

When it's cold outside and you're looking for a meal that's filling and hot and ready to go then this is a spot. I've been coming here for years, even when it used to have the old owners and it always remains consistent. The meat pies are delicious and filling and easy enough to eat when you're on the go,they had a corn beef and cabbage special this week which was really good and I'm glad they're now offering different specials every week. My only gripe with this place is they discontinued the veggie one which used to come in handy because we have a vegetarian in our household. it's weird that they offered it as a special but not a solid menu spot. They offer a chicken pie and a beef pie and basically that's it. Like I said the pies are delicious. I just wish they'd bring back the veggie to the regular menu. That way everybody gets satisfy their needs. PS get it with the gravy or else it can be kind of dry. read more
