At this unpretentious spot, dig into piping hot Northern Chinese meat pies - juicy, crispy, and irresistibly messy, just like they should be.
"Our Favorite Dishes: Lamb and Green Onion Pie Xian Bing are giant, savory dumplings (or “pies”) filled with different combinations of meat and vegetables, and if that sounds good to you, head to Beijing Pie House. The place looks like any neighborhood fast-casual spot - it’s small and sparsely decorated, and service is fast. There are a lot of things on the menu, but focus on those pies. Just be careful - if you’re like us, you’ll burn yourself biting into one too fast, because you couldn’t wait to eat it." - jess basser sanders, amy clark, brant cox, brett keating
"Unlike other houses of pies around town, you won’t find any banana creams or Dutch apples at this Alhambra restaurant. Instead, they specialize in xian bing, a disk-sized, savory dumpling from northern China that’s served dangerously hot and filled with everything from beef and green onion to summer squash and lamb. Call them directly at (626) 782-7928 to place an order, or find them on most major delivery platforms." - kat hong

"There are far sadder closures, but from a purely personal standpoint, Beijing Pie House. Xian bing (meat pies) can still be found, but no one else has that wondrous radish pie or the wild vegetable pie that BPH served." - Matthew Kang
"Beijing Pie House is a staple San Gabriel Valley restaurant, known famously for its puck-sized xian bing meat pies." - Eater Staff
