My first time here. Just tried their meat pies. So so yummy! Owners are super super nice. It’s a small restaurant and felt so family friendly. You can tell the owner loves kids and greets them with a huge smile. Was fun eating their pan fried dumplings as you break them apart from each other. Definitely recommending to all my friends!

Love their northern Chinese pies with different kinds of delicious stuffings with beef, lamb, or pork. The owner is super friendly. It’s definitely worth the 20 minutes wait!

Absolutely delicious mom and pop shop for meat pies, dumplings, and pancakes. The beef/green onion pancake was deliciously crispy and was amazing on its own and yet somehow managed to be overshadowed by the lamb/green onion meat pie. The meat pie was deliciously flavorful and juicy. The owners didn’t speak any English and it was no problem at all, we were able to communicate just fine. Can’t wait to come back.

Delicious!! Small little spot. Just a few tables. The pork pancakes were so good. Juicy in the middle, crispy on the outside. The cucumbers were sour and refreshing!! The pork, shrimp and leek dumplings crispy style were so good. My favorite was the wonton soup. So delicious!!

They changed owners a year ago and are now called JinHai Pie House Handmade Kitchen. The new boss said he started making meat pies and the like since he was 14, he is in his 60’s now. The pies were so good, even better than before in my humble opinion! A very mom and pop sort of place. Not fancy looking but the food is delicious! Come and keep them in business! Their meat pies, pancakes and dumplings are to die for!

Authentic Chinese spot with piping hot meat pies. It’s called Jin Hai now. 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).

This place is a must for me every time I’m back in LA. I dream about their lamb pies and wake up with a drool spot. The lamb pie order comes with 4, and they are fresh out of the kitchen every time. They make their own pies here and you can tell it’s authentic af. Hold the pie upright inside a bowl, take a tiny nibble of the wrapper to let the hot steam out. And slowly start slurping the soup out of the pie. It’s amazing. It’s juicy. It’s flavorful. It’s everything you need to feel like you’re in lamb heaven. It’s protein heavy so it’s also the perfect post workout meal. It’s filling.
