I like this place for the atmosphere. It's a small, cozy, and quiet hole-in-the-wall unlike most places that are loud and chaotic. Absolutely no frills - they don't take measures to keep it nice and tidy, and that's how you know the food is good when you see it gets busy. But to be fair, a lot of dirty Chinese restaurants in the area are much, much worse. Everything is made to fresh to order. Food does not come out fast especially if it's busy. There are signs everywhere telling you that it will take at least 15 minutes for the food to come out so you can't say they didn't warn you. The wait was worth it though. We got 4 items: the beef pie, sheng jian bao, stinky tofu and Hang zhou steamed pork buns. Overall, food tastes good and but not 5 star good, mainly because I'm just nitpicky. Beef pie had a lot of flavor from the filling and it also had soup inside, but the dough skin kept constantly cracking and all the soup would spill out. I'd have liked this more if it wasn't so difficult to handle. It was more difficult to eat than a steamed soup dumpling because of how much wider it is, and it's not like you can use your hands and risk getting burned by hot soup. The sheng jian bao isn't as good as the ones at Kang Kang Food Court or Auntie Qiu's when it comes to flavor, but I'd still get this one again because I liked the texture. The fried tofu could have been fried for longer because it didn't really have much crispiness. I think for me, the best was the Hang Zhou steamed pork bun because I never had this before so I had nothing to compare it to. I thought it was steamed perfectly and the dough was so thick and fluffy.

I got to say the food is amazing, the service is amazing as well. I tried the lamb and cilantro pie. The pie skin was crisp and held the juice of the meat pie so well. I would say this is like a xlb by bigger and better. The fried pork bun was good too. I would definitely come back and try their other items. Ambiance is ok, I mean it could be brighter, more organized and newer furniture. Parking is ample behind the building with a free public parking lot and free street parking.

I was craving for meat pies and found this place to be the closest to me. I walked in and it was pretty empty. I scanned the QR code and order from there. I didn't have much interactions with the staffs. I ordered meat pie, cucumber salad and shanghai wonton soup. Overall I thought the food was pretty bland except for meat pie. It took a while for food to come out even though I was the only table there. Meat pie was hot and juicy. When I bit into meat pie, juice came out right away. Be careful, it's hot! I found parking in the back and walked over. I would stop by again if I ever have cravings for meat pie. I would love to try other dishes next time.

I followed other Yelper's reviews and only ordered mostly just the dishes that they were known for, meat pies and chive pancake, and it was a delicious and cheap meal! I really enjoy the Chinese meat pies here, so much filling and well seasoned too. My kids really enjoyed the place.

Min Min Pie House is a homely cozy restaurant where you'll get freshly made savory pancakes and dumplings and buns. The beef pancake is a simple patty that's seasoned well and encapsulated in a nicely fried bun alongside a mouthful of broth. Pairs well with the chili on the table to give it a little extra kick and salt. The pork buns are delicious - well cooked and flavorful. Service is nice and it's a chill spot. Street parking available

You know a place is legit when it's a hole in the wall, the menus are in Chinese, and there is a grandma making chili oil right in front of you. I ordered the Shanghai style wonton soup, pork pies, and cucumber salad, which was more than enough for a party of 2. The soup, while light, was bursting with umami. The pork and scallion pies came hot and juicy, generously filled with a crispy crust. The cucumber salad was mild but well seasoned, a perfect complement to the heavier pies. All the dishes tasted home made, and even earned the approval of my Chinese friend. I look forward to coming back.

As a returing customer of this restaurant, I recommend this one if you like Traditional handmade pie, dumpling dishes. Although it is a small business with welcoming employee. They have plenty of choice on the menu. This is not a fancy one but essencial is the food quality and varity of all the dumplings and pancake ! The highlight of meat pies are full of juice and very flavorful, fried mini bun is delicious too!

I'm super excited to share my discovery of Min Min Pie House in Alhambra, California! This cozy gem is easily missed, but trust me, it's worth a try if you love Chinese handmade pie dishes. Walking in, I didn't see anyone to greet me, but the open seating and QR code ordering system made it easy to get started. Scan the code, choose from English or Chinese menus - so convenient! A friendly middle-aged lady arrived shortly, offered water, and let us know we could order through our phones. We ordered: sweet & sour soup, fried stinky tofu, lamb scallion pie, pork cabbage baozi, fried leek dumplings. All orders take a bit longer since everything's made from scratch. Dishes are perfectly seasoned; just add soy sauce or chill sauce to taste. And most of all, the place is owned by locals, with hands-on kitchen staff. When paying, the owner asked about my experience and shared their passion for handmade dishes. Only frozen dumplings are available for home purchase due to limited staff. Min Min Pie House is a hidden gem! Don't miss it if you're a fan of authentic Chinese cuisine. Give it a try and enjoy!

Had dinner on a weekday. Tables have QR codes that let you order pretty efficiently, so the employees don't really come to the table except to deliver things. Stinky tofu 5/5. Must order again. Light, fluffy, savory, and of course, stinky. Great flavor. Beef noodle soup 3/5. Loved how chewy the noodles were, but broth flavor was kind of bland. It didn't help that everything else had much bolder flavors. Lamb and cilantro pancakes 5/5. Bursting with flavor. Crisp thin dough wrapped around juicy goodness - maybe about 2 spoonfuls leaking out onto your plate if you're not careful. Super eager to try the other variations. Pan fried buns 4/5. Expectations were too high based on others' experiences. We also already have a favorite pan fried buns place, so the bar was set quite high. Tasted good enough but will stick to Kang Kong next time. They do take credit cards. Saw a customer come in maybe 5 min before closing for takeout, and was turned away. The employees were busy cleaning the kitchen when we finished eating, so after a while we had to go flag them down to wrap up.
