Chicken pot pie review.... Damn good. Easy, convenient. Not too salty. Not too much breading. I got this from my coworker who stopped by so I can't comment on the ambience or service but the pie was great and gravy was generous. Would try again if I went closer to the store. read more

I was staying near the vicinity of Pasty Kitchen and figured I'd give it a shot. I love pot pies - which is what this place reminded me of! This is a little hole in the wall - standing room only - when you walk into the tiny store fronting Katella Ave, you run right into the ordering counter and a few freezers. There's no seating inside, but there is a few tables outside. Parking in the back. First - they have the friendliest staff and even better - the friendliest customers! It was my first time, so I allowed a couple of people to go in front of me while I browsed their menu/flavors. I asked the people in front of me what flavors they order - and they shared their favorites - one regular told me she recommends getting a side of gravy - which adds a layer of richness to your meat pie - serving as a dip. Seeing how friendly their regulars were proved to me that this is a great place - they've been around for awhile now! These meat pies are huge. 1-2 is enough for a meal - the filling is plentiful - and the dough is crusty and yummy - just like a pot pie. I got one of each: Chicken pasty, Beef pasty, and their special - Corned Beef pasty, a small side of turkey gravy, and a side of mac salad. Total was a little over $20 including tip. Had the chicken and beef pasty and a bit of the mac salad for lunch, saved the corned beef pasty for midday snack. The crust was amazing! And served to complement the rich fillings. Everything tasted fresh - no issues with dryness or anything. There's a small offering of dessert as well, but I stuck to the meat pies and mac salad. read more

This place is tiny. Counter service only. Three pasty flavors: Beef, chicken and vegetable. Two sizes: small and large. You buy gravy on the side, chicken or beef flavor, also small or large. They have terrific fruit turnovers, apple and cherry flavors. They now offer other side items. You can buy them frozen and bake them at home, too. All flavors are great. The staff is courteous and efficient. The prices are moderate. I highly recommend!! 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

Came here to try out chicken pasties after driving past the business every time I head to Costco. Inside is small, strictly for ordering and maybe waiting for your order. The people here are quick though so it didn't feel crowded given the lunch rush I found myself in. Chicken pasty was yummy with their gravy. Would come again. read more

Driven by Pasty quite a few times and always said we would stop. Finally made it and I'm glad we did. Pasty offers meat pies, turnovers, cookies and a few desserts. So, on our first visit, 1 meat pie, 2 chicken, beef/chicken gravy and 1 of each turnover flavor (cherry, apple and peach). Pies come out piping hot, so be careful. Beef pie meaty with diced potatoes wrapped in a golden brown wrap. Good by itself, but better with gravy! I'm a gravy sauce kind of person. Chicken pie with carrots, onions and celery. With gravy, a dip able hand held pot pie. Best thing is, if you can't finish, they won't be soggy later and a quick warm up in a hot pan or toaster oven and you're ready to go. Turnovers, each filled with fruit and icing on top. Looks like a Hostess pie, but 10x better. Not overly sweet with a crispy crust. Probably best when consumed hot. Scoop of vanilla ice cream probably wouldn't hurt either. Overall, I'd say a must try for people who enjoy pies. On our return trip, we will try some different pies and sweets. 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

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

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

This place is a hidden gem! You can watch the food being made right in front of the building and its side dishes are real delicious.

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

What a disappointment! My small chicken pasty tasted very sour so I ended up throwing it away after eating only 1/2 of it. My husband's large beef pasty was raw in the center. He had to re-cook it at home. He also only ate half and threw the rest away. We've been coming to this location for many years so it was a shock to get subpar food. It was a waste of time and money. 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

I don't have one good thing to say about this experience. I ordered three pasties online yesterday, and they're lucky I did, because otherwise I would have walked straight out and given my money to a business that actually seems happy to have customers. When I walked in, there was a woman ahead of me with a large order and another woman behind me. Not one employee acknowledged us for ten minutes. No "Hello," no "We'll be right with you," no "Sorry for the wait," no "Welcome" -- nothing. The silence was LOUD. There were three employees right there (and the place is the size of a matchbox), yet not one of them spoke to us the entire time. This is exactly why places like Subway train employees to say, "Welcome to Subway!" I have never felt so ignored in my life. Once the woman ahead of me finally left, I was handed my order -- which had apparently been sitting there the entire time. Had anyone simply greeted me, they probably would have realized my order was ready and I could have left much sooner. Instead, we all just stood there being ignored. We watched an employee fill ten gravy cups while my food just sat there waiting. I understand that they're working hard. They're tired, it's nonstop, and it's a very small space. They clearly weren't happy, and every customer in that room could feel it. The employers should care about that. The food itself was awful, too. Maybe the beef one could have been decent, and maybe the chicken one had potential, but the vegetable pasty was downright disgusting. All of them desperately needed seasoning. You shouldn't have to drown food in gravy just to make it taste good. The entire experience was terrible. I even spoke with the woman who had been ahead of me in line in the parking lot afterward, and she felt exactly the same way. Never again. 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

It's very disappointing to see how many times a year that you guys raise the prices on your turnovers. Including your Patsys.. I speak for the community because we all go here and support this location. Eventually, we will stop supporting because your prices are gouging. Don't be one of them have consistency whoever makes these are not consistent and anyone raise the prices. that's so sad. Be coming here for decades. read more

I had driven past The Pasty Kitchen for years without ever stopping. Honestly, I wasn't even sure what a pasty was. Every time I saw the sign, I figured it was either a typo or some food I'd somehow made it through life without encountering. One day curiosity finally got the better of me, so I stopped in to investigate. As it turns out, a pasty is basically a handheld meat pie, originally from Cornwall, England. Think of it as a burrito's British cousin who went to boarding school. I was hungry, the place smelled good, and I figured this was my moment. I ordered a beef pasty. They offer beef and chicken, and the beef one was pretty decent. Tasty enough, filling, and easy to eat on the go. Was it life-changing? No. Did I immediately start planning my move to Cornwall? Also no. But it was good. A few months later, I found myself in the area again and decided to give them a second shot. This time I ordered the chicken pasty and a side of potato salad. Unfortunately, the chicken pasty just didn't do it for me. It wasn't bad, and I certainly wouldn't call it inedible, but it felt like the seasoning department had taken the day off. I kept waiting for some flavor to show up, but it never really clocked in. The potato salad was kind of the same story. Perfectly edible, completely harmless, and unlikely to offend anyone. It also wasn't particularly memorable. If someone served it to me at a family picnic, I'd eat it. If someone asked me what I thought about it ten minutes later, I'd struggle to remember it existed. Now, I realize I'm sounding critical, but that's only because I'm a bit of a food snob. My philosophy is that if you're going to put something on the menu--especially when the menu is fairly small--every item should be trying out for the varsity team, not just showing up for attendance. That said, the people working there were friendly, service was quick, and the place seems to have a loyal following. My experience was basically this: the beef pasty was pretty good, the chicken pasty was forgettable, the potato salad was there, and everyone was nice. Would I stop again? Maybe for the beef pasty. But if I do, I'll probably leave the potato salad to those who enjoy living dangerously. 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 meat pies are the bomb, both beef and the chicken are excellent, but make sure to get gravy it makes it twice as good. Their macaroni salad is also good. Service is quick as long as you don't go right at lunch time otherwise you can wait a few minutes. It's mostly take out, however, there are a few tables outside with umbrellas for shade. I would highly recommend Pasty Kitchen if you are in the mood for something hearty yet not as filling as a traditional restaurant. Comfort food that will hit the spot. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The food here is so good and pure! But to the owner, please get AC in your store! Help your employees out!

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 finally got a chance to Order from Pasty Kitchen. OMG! absolutely loved it. I've been missing my grandmothers Beef potato pies she used to make and have never been able to find any place that compares. I got the beef pie and chicken pie.

I went to Cambridge UK and tried the pasties there. It was very flaky and good. So when I saw pasty kitchen, I wanted to try it as well. The crust is more of a baked dough than the flaky crust I was expecting. The filling feels more like a breakfast burrito. The food is good, but I would not say it is a pasty. It's an okay food on the go. read more

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

My dad and I used to order from here quite frequently during the 2000's-2010's and they were the best! Unfortunately, I've noticed some changes after going back a handful of years later. The meat was still red, but I figured it was just a bad batch so no biggie. Went back again a couple weeks ago, and the meat was still undercooked. The flavor of the pasty doesn't taste the same either, which is pretty disappointing. The gravy is still good, but the pasty itself is kinda bland now. They should probably rename this place because whatever they're serving now feels like a huge "f- you" to the previous owners :( 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
