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

What a GEM! I have passed by this place many times and wondered what a Pasty was! After binge watching older seasons of British Baking Show, one episode showed the bakers making them. They looked so good and I knew where to go! Small but busy place. I was there at 1030am, already busy! Ample parking behind the store. I might suggest looking at reviews on Yelp to get an idea what you want to order. Many of the Yelpers suggested the beef over chicken. In addition, if they were making pastrami, definitely get that! They appear have a special pasty daily. There are two sizes small and large. That's what I struggled with a bit and decided to go with small, order two to taste more than one flavor. Food - ordered two small pastrami and two small beef, side gravy, macaroni salad and potato salad. My husband and I split one each of both flavors. With some salads, plenty of food and perfect amount too! Now we have a second meal! Salad portions very generous. No way to eat one alone, shareable. We both absolutely loved the Pastys. I can only compare these meat Pies with empanadas. Lighter crust and a lot of filling vs empanada. I loved that the filling was a nice blend of meat, potatoes, and veggies. Both beef and pastrami were great. We both loved the gravy with the beef pasty but on its own without also great bites. My recommendation would be to order more than one flavor, share if possible. If you do order beef, get the gravy for dipping. Their salads were great (also offer a broccoli salad that I plan to try next visit). We ordered to go and most others were doing the same. There are a few tables outside in the back, so eating there is an option. The Pastys traveled very well. Service was excellent, friendly and helpful especially since it was my first visit! I loved that they used nice professional stickers on their bags and Pasty wraps, nice touch! From the outside window you can see them making the Pastys! No question we will be back! Great place! read more

I've worked down the street for a few few years and finally gave this place a try. Damn! Why didn't I try it earlier? It's a limited menu, but everything is executed so well. The pasty's remind me of a chicken pot pie that you hold in your hand. The beef is my favorite, especially paired with the beef gravy. The textures, flavors, and freshness are all on point. The prices for what you get are perfect too. A small is filling for a quick lunch, especially paired with their potato salad that reminds me of a deviled egg. Super comforting meal that doesn't break the bank. Parking and seating are limited, with no indoor seating at all. Totally fine, though, because you can order online and the pasty's are perfect to-go meals. I'll be back for many more work lunches. read more

I never had pasties before. Stopped in with a friend and tried Pasty Kitchen for the first time. Crazy how I use to play softball down the street in Los Al and also frequent the Navy golf course and never stopped in. The pasties are yummy when eaten right away. Hot, flakey, meaty goodness. I got both the small chicken and beef pasties and preferred the beef over the chicken. It's a must with the gravy. They have a vegetarian version as well. The kitchen has a few outdoor tables with umbrellas and food comes out hot to order. I am a fan! Definitely worth a stop in for a quick bite or takeout order for snacks on the golf course (or softball fields). read more

It's been ages since my daughter and I have come here, and since we were in town, we decided to visit our old stomping grounds! We remember cash only $3 pasties, cooked fresh and made in the window! We were pleasantly surprised to see very similar prices and menu with option to use card, apple pay, etc! Loved seeing the baker work their magic in the window, frozen pasties for take and bake and yesterday's BOGO deal on the counter. We got a box of 6 (2 chicken and 2 beef), reasonably priced... they are pretty huge and also peach turnovers that were 2 for 1! Cannot wait to come back to try more flavors although the beef has always been my fave! Street and parking in the rear. Small outdoor patio. read more

I got the traditional beef and potato and chorizo These things are massive and the sauce is great too I got chicken base and beef base and I'll definitely be back to sample everything else in the menu with friends and co-workers read more

I have been coming to this location since the 70s. Wonderful memories and good quality food. Such a comfort food!

Wow!!!! What a unique and awesome lunch experience today! Don't judge me but I had to try all these meat pies and they were all amazing! The Italian sausage being my favorite! Run don't walk and do yourself a a favor and try them all! Incredibly amazing! read more

I'm writing this review baffled and disappointed. I've passed this location about 1 million times and today (a rainy fall day) I decided to try a Pasty's hand pie. I excitedly ordered one chicken and beef pie online and promptly picked it up when it was ready. I returned to my desk, ready to sink my teeth into a delicious treat but instead I was met with a flavorless glob of meat in a pastry shell. The chicken legit looked like it came out of a can. I couldn't take more than two bites. Remaining hopefully, I moved over to the beef option. At first bite it tasted slightly better than the chicken, but upon closer inspection, there were sections of pink sprinkled throughout the glob of beef and potatoes ? Was it not throughly cooked!? Ugh!! Did I mention that there was nay resemblance of a spice or seasoning to be found. My recommendation...keep driving right past Pasty's Kitchen! read more

Local gem and eatery - it's been here for many years and recently had a facelift of color paint and logo! Parking is available on street or in back but do note the time limits Prior it was cash only but it appears to accept multiple times of payment including cash card and apply pay Offering of pastries, monday special pastries, frozen made, and assorted drinks, plus sides and treats! Very much of an order and eat outside or take it Togo! At noon expect a line for the lunch rush from the surrounding businesses and with the rush still pleasant service answers all questions and explains the goodness Order small gravy, beef and chicken pastry - for just shy of $11 that a steal for the in house everything made fresh on site. Small but mighty kitchen unit making endless pastries and weighing things out, baking, and ensuring quality. Easily shareable with others or a value lunch / dinner / snack The beef I enjoyed with the gravy (potato carrot tender beef) and the chicken (potato carrot chicken celery possibly) was tasty without the gravy Gravy very much of a mash potato style The only con is the packaging that may stick to the pastry when opening it up due to the steam but really quick bites of tender goodness, pastry was a good foundation to hold all the stuffing, firm pastry on top and soft on the bottom Certainly a place to return to especially for the Monday dated specials :) read more

Purchase 6 small today they were not cooked all of them had raw meat in them the outside was over cooked and burned in some spots bring back the old owner these people done know what they are doing !!!!!!!! read more

All of the pastys are good. Make sure you get the side of gravy. Service is great and the store is well stocked.

I have been eating here for decades and it never dissappoints! I have enjoyed many of the new flavors, like corned beef and cabbage, chorizo and the Italian sausage with peppers but my favorites are the original chicken and beef. I always get the opposite gravy. Chicken gravy for the Beef pasty and beef gravy for the chicken pasty. This double the flavor profile in my opinion. The cookies and turnovers are also delicious! Hearty simple quality ingredients means the food is always consistent and delicious. Everyone working here is also super nice. read more

Been coming to this location for the last 30 years or so... I know things change but I wish this place was immune to that. I'm not sure if ingredients have changed, or recipes... or if its just missing the love. Just not the same. read more

I love their pasties and apple pie, I will come back for the second time. The staff are very nice,

I was excited, as a meat pie enjoyer, to go out of my way to try Pasty. It feels in all senses pretty classical. From location to menu to the food itself. The meat pie was preferable. It was a lot of food, for a good price, but it doesn't really knock your socks off. It's functional and fine. read more

Pasty meat and veggies just not that good. I've had one at olde ship Fullerton that was very good

So frickin yummy!!! My boyfriend and I bought a big box of chicken & beef pastys as well as chicken and beef gravy and a side of macaroni salad. (Lowkey we preferred the chicken gravy over beef) These things are made fresh daily, right in front of you, and are the perfect finger food for a snack or even a meal. Every time we come there's always a long ass line out the door so just be aware of a potential wait time. However once you order your food is ready to go almost immediately. Prices are reasonable and quality is exceptional. We were really surprised with how good the mac salad was too, it paired amazing with the pastys and we ate on their patio which they keep nice and clean. read more

Something happened here. This once excellent eatery used to have a product with a crisp crust with real chicken pieces mixed with chopped up potatoes, onion and carrots, And seasoning. Excellent! Now the crust is mushy, the chicken tastes like smashed mystery meat..,Maybe chicken? Buying them frozen is a bad idea being the instructions are incorrect. Reheating amplifies the bad taste. And they don't answer the phone being only one person speaks english there.And if he's not there, no one picks up. And ya can't leave a msg. Very sad being this once delicious eatery changed and not for the good, Good thing. They pained and cleaned up the Los Al store. read more

I used to come here for my lunch break when I worked in the area, always had to get one small chicken and one small beef. They are delicious and they also sell styrofoam cups full of bomb gravy. I remember the potato salad being solid too. Will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Great service, great comfort food, and personally the beef pasty and beef gravy is the superior choice - but you cant go wrong with anything. A meat pie you can hold like a burrito? my perfect meal in the fall. read more

Food: I've had the beef pasty with gravy and it was really big and filling!! There's ground beef, potatoes, and carrots inside the pasty Service: Quick and friendly service. I've never had an issue! Ambiance: Very small shop. This is not a place to dine in. If you want to eat your food, they have a limited amount of tables and chairs outside Parking: They have a very small lot, but it never gets filled up from what I can tell. However, even if the lot gets filled up, just keep driving down the street because there are other parking spots available! You'd just have to walk alittle so it's not difficult at all read more

Another one bites the dust. I'm getting so tired of people buying these landmark restaurants and "improving" them. This place was great for a long time, but sadly, it is in decline. Dear owner, please go back to the old recipes for your potato and macaroni salads. You need to use the same supplier for ingredients too. What you are serving now I wouldn't feed to my dog. Look at this mess. Pasta undercooked. Dry. Under seasoned. It used to be so good. Now it's so bad. Pasties, while the filling is still right, the dough is over neaded(sp?) and too thin. It cracks before the filling is fully cooked. Hire the previous owner for more training. You havent got it right and it's not better. read more

Pasty Kitchen - Macaruini salad - British Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

They should call them potato pies with a tad of meat. We bought three different pies: chorizo, chicken, and beef. All three were filled primarily with potatoes and only had a small amount of meat. The only reason they get two stars, as opposed to one, is the gravy -- it was really good. read more

I saw someone post about the thanksgiving patsy they were eating in a reel and it looked so bomb. I went in to order and noticed that this isn't a sit down type of place. Envision more of a grab and go counter area. I inquired with the staff working there at the time what the most popular patsy to eat was and he mentioned that the beef patsy is the best. I ended up getting one beef patsy and one chicken patsy. The beef patsy was my favorite. I feel the chicken patsy had a bit too much potato. The best way I can describe what a patsy is would be that it's kinda like a chicken pot pie but in a handheld form. When you order they cook your order right there and they also sell frozen patsy if you would like to take any home. All and all it was interesting to try but not something I would eat all the time due to the drive. read more

I loved the kind of gravy to the side and the actual pasty was delicious. even warmed up again was amazing. the guy attending was the sweetest and allowed us to ask questions. overall good service. The place felt like it was still brand new, not fully decorated but very small as well you can see the making of the food and the smell is amazing. read more

This place has been around forever and have fond memories of my dad bringing home some Patsys for dinner. Recently was in the area and picked some up for my kids and it was a hit! I hope this place stays open forever. read more

You can't get any more authentic than this pasty place, I always order the buy 4 get 5 frozen pasty pack. Once you bake them in your own oven they are the best. My pasties always turn out awesome. Just like the pasties that you can get in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. My latest order turned out be perfect. Just the right amount of beef, potatoe and carrots. read more

This is my favorite spot for a quick yet filling snack! I'm a creature of habit so I get the chicken pot pie and chicken gravy every time. It's very cheap but tastes like much more than they charge for. The small is enough to fill you up for a bit but they also offer a large which is great for a dinner! I haven't done so yet, but they also offer frozen pot pies to take home. One day I will try one of those limited time holiday pies (perhaps this year)! I believe they are only select days and they probably run out quick so go earlier in the day. It's a small shop with 2-3 tables around the side so don't expect a whole thing with a big group. More of a place you drop in to get your pies and leave. Great staff with very easy service. 10/10 one of my Los Al top 5 places read more

The food is simple yet delicious! Don't forget the gravy, it's amazing. The service is fast and you are able to see the meat pies get made right in front of you. read more

So much love for this place! I was afraid of the quality dropping when they changed owners but the expansion of locations and menu has been a pleasant surprise. Every single new/specialty variant has been solid and not stretched. Inside can get cramped when ordering but usually you can be in and out within 2 minutes. Such an amazing staple of Los Al and always a personal favorite. read more

I drive by here all the time while working. I finally took the time stop in. The wonderful lady at the register, probably the owner, greeted me with an awsome smile. Apparently, they have been in business for 60 years! I love hearing that. I bought 1 small beef pasty, 2 large beef pastys and 2 large gravys...also 2 cherry pies. All this for under $40! WOW, SO GOOD! ILL BE BACK Just finished that cherry pie...if you've ever had one of those 7-11 pies, and thought it was good, never do that again. YOU MUST HAVE ONE OF THESE. read more

Great service explain what to order. Macaroni salad, turnovers and pie all great. I will go back for more.

This is a very unassuming business nestled in a small strip mall with other restaurants. The inside is simply a small space to walk in and order, and is mostly taken up by the kitchen. What I appreciate about this place is that you never have to wait more than 5 mins for your order, which comes out hot! It's inexpensive as well, $9 for a large chicken pasty, which could easily feed two people read more
