Pasty Kitchen

I've been a fan of Pasty Kitchen and visited the original location in Los Alamitos for years. I'm glad this new location opened up--plenty of parking with the same quality, and friendly service. Every pasty pie tastes homemade and very filling. My favorite is the chicken pasty, but I also enjoy beef and specials like Italian and turkey pasties. I always get a large chicken gravy to add extra flavor and moisture to each bite. The beef gravy is also perfect for the beef pasty. The small size is ideal for me as a meal. There are also salads to pair with the pasty pies. I recently got the macaroni salad, and although I prefer a creamier version, this was enjoyable. You can't forget the cookies and dessert pies that satisfy a sweet tooth. Frozen pies are also available occasionally to warm up throughout the week. Inside, you can see the staff working hard and a counter display with some goodies, but there aren't any seats inside or outside. The only options are to take out, eat in your car, or relax at a park nearby. I am happy to support this long-standing, local business.

After running some errands, it just happened that Pasty Kitchen was right next door! We had to go in, eventhough we just had breakfast. Oink.We picked the special pasty of the day:Chorizo - loaded with chorizo and potato, piping hot and delicious Italian - this reminded me of an Italian beef sandwich with potatoes! So good!Major carb overload but they also had the best broccoli salad which balanced out the snack (or meal) well. We also picked up a Cherry pie was a must as I was totally hankering this past week. Loved this! The cherries were tart, my preference. Great with a latte.Note: So, when Luis put so much care into wrapping up our order, it made me doubly happy to support our neighborhood business. Service was super friendly.PSA: make room in your freezer. Then look for the frozen promo for deals at Pasty!! We come back real soon!

i'd never had an authentic pasty before so i can't attest to how authentic these are to ones in the UK but they were pretty darn good! the workers at this location were also super nice and helpful in answering any questions i had. they work really quick to pack your food fresh too. if you're just looking for a quick cheap on the go bite, this is the place to go. they even sell the pasties frozen if you want to buy some to bring and cook at home!i ordered 2 small chicken pasties and 1 broccoli salad, which came out to about $12.50, which is a really good deal for a lunch for 2! the size of the small pasties is about the size of my hand, and it's packed with meat and veggies and definitely filled me up! the filling of the pasty kind of reminds me of a pate chaud, which is what i grew up eating in my household. i thought it was really good and well seasoned! the pasty shell also had a nice flakiness, it was more soft than crispy, but it was a good amount of thickness without being too doughy. its also really good fresh so i would definitely recommend digging in once you get it. the broccoli salad is also pretty good. i could tell it was made fresh, and i liked that it was mixed with toppings like fresh grapes and some nuts! it is very reminiscent of souplantation's joan's broccoli madness which i absolutely loveee to eat. it was a nice compliment and added a fresh cold bite to the warm meaty pasty!

The beef pasties are the best. Everytime i come here, my pasty is perfect, just like they are made in Michigan.

What a cute little place! After driving past repeatedly for work, I needed lunch and knew this was a place for me to try. It's a small little shop but there is plenty of parking available in the shared area.Walking up to the door, I noticed a sign on the door showing they have a seasonal turkey pasty with gravy available, so I figured I should try that!Inside it's very small, just big enough for a couple customers at the counter. There is no indoor seating, and instead most of the interior is their kitchen. This is a grab-and-go place. The man at the register was so nice, and especially when I told him it was my first time here, he helped with answering my questions and recommending popular menu items. I ended up ordering the turkey pasty with gravy, a beef pasty, and a cup of broccoli salad. He asked if I wanted gravy with the beef pasty so I asked him if he recommends it with the gravy. He said he would include one for me to try! That was really kind of him, and contributed to the tip I left for his generosity.Everything was delicious and priced well. Turkey pasty with gravy: this had a mix of what I think was ground turkey, herbs and spices you typically use at Thanksgiving, I think some cranberry bits? I'm not sure but it tasted like Thanksgiving. It was good and the gravy was tasty as well! This was not as good as the beef pasty though, so I give it 4/5 stars.Beef pasty: This one is a classic and came recommended on Yelp and by staff, and I can see why! This ended up being my favorite of the two, delicious both with and without the gravy! 5/5 starsBroccoli salad: I am usually cautious of deli sides most places but the man assured my everything is made fresh in house, so I decided I would try this. It is made with fresh broccoli, golden raisins, and I think little walnut or pecan bits all in a lightly sweetened dressing. I was surprised at how much I liked this! I got it so I could actually eat something green since I'm not always great at doing that, and now this may become a repeat purchase on future visits! 4/5 starsDefinitely worth a visit for friendly service, delicious food, and a nice warm comforting meal as we slip into some cooler weather! I can't wait to bring my family here with me.

The pies were delicious! It was nice letting everyone pick their own flavor and enjoy it. The pies that were left over could be transported home without worrying about a big mess. I also purchased some beef and chicken, potato, carrot, pea pies. They were delicious also, alongside the potato salad and macaroni salad. Everything was enjoyed by everyone

Delicious food and sweetest service. We ordered a little bit of everything and were not disappointed. Thank you!

Pasty kitchen... comfort food at its best. Try the fruit pasty if you get a chance. Peach. Yum.

Chorizo pasty was ok. The beef pasty was much better -- and the side of gravy was really good.I'd skip the macaroni salad.Apple pie was really good.

Customer service was excellent. Wants to recommend but the pie crust was good but the chicken meat has a lot of potato and the chicken dry. Need more flavors. The beef meat pie needs more flavor as well.
