Zero ambiance but DAMNED good meat pies! It's small, seats maybe 20 ish diners total. I noticed they serve a lot of take out, there were many people coming and going as we sat there to eat. The food is super fresh. The dumplings and meat pies are made to order. You can watch them make them from your table (that's how small this place is!). They're quite no nonsense, it's very, give me your order, thanks, going to make them now. The food is delicious. We ordered: Lamb & green onion pancakes - juicy chopped or ground lamb. Very flavorful but not gamey at all. Fried buns - Good crispy pan fried bottoms, super soft on top but not so thick that it feels like there's more bun than meat. The pork is moist but not soupy and juice filled like you're used to. Pan fried pork & seafood dumplings - similarly juicy filling like the previous two but mixed with seafood. Good crunch on the bottom but no carby "lace" connecting them all. We parked right out on the street, 20 ft from the front door. In the evenings it's pretty easy as there's not a TON of other stores open in the surrounding area. Definitely eating here again...and again...and again.

This place was ABSURDLY good oh my lord. The pork and leek pancakes (more like meat pies) were filled with soup!!! The chive and egg pancakes were exactly like how my grandpa made them for me growing up. I also got pan fried buns (not pictured) -- crispy and delicious, though I'd say the pancakes were the star of the show. Everything is made to order so it's a little slow (~20 min wait) but that just means it comes out hot and crispy and delicious! The ladies that work there mostly speak Chinese so be patient with them and you will be rewarded with homey authentic Chinese food.

Drove by this place a lot while we went shopping at Good Fortune Market across street. My husband is a big fan of pan fried buns so we decided to check it out. Before came here, I looked at their menu and it had extensive and authentic flavors for dumplings and pies. That’s how I knew they were legit!!We came on a rainy Saturday around 11:30am there were only two other tables. I feel on a nice day it would be busier.For food we got:- pork scallion pie (5/5). Wowwwww a must try!! It was so juicy and flavorful. The outside is perfectly crispy. This is our favorite and we definitely will try other flavors next time.- pan fried chicken mushroom dumplings (5/5). I love the dumpling skin as you can taste the slightly chew and that’s how you know it’s handmade!- cucumber salad (5/5). Very refreshing and balance out the richness of all the fried dumplings.- pan fried bun (4/5). This is probably my least favorite although it’s still pretty good. It doesn’t have much juice as I thought it would like the pie. So I’ll stick with the pies next time.No fuss service. You order via QR code and food comes out around 10-15 minutes. They have a sign to explain the 15 min wait due to all handmade to order which is well worth it!! This has become our new go-to for weekend brunch.

The best Chinese I've had in years. Basically no interior, but fantastic food. I'd describe it as "Chinese comfort food".

Our order was for wontons, grilled pork buns and cucumber salad. The filling of the wontons and pork buns was really good. The broth that comes with the wontons did not have any flavor, just tasted like water, but the wontons themselves were delicious. The cucumber salad had more garlic than I expected, but was good especially when paired with chili oil. We were served our food quickly after ordering and the servers were nice. The wait time for the table was about 15 to 20 minutes when it was busy, but they give you the option to order to-go as well.

This place is tiny! Glad they have an extensive kitchen to cook all sorts of things, but finding a seat to sit down here is super tough.The food is great, but I'd rather get it to-go.My friend insisted on sitting down though. So when we changed to sit-down, the person asked us to add a tip amount. A little off -putting, because I was going to put down cash for tips, but since he asked before actually being served, I put the minimum. Even then, it almost wasn't worth it. They were super busy, and we had to grab our own plates at certain points. They seemed a bit disorganized, but I'll give them that they tried their best to accommodate everyone.They have a lot of wasted space. The old space facing out front can seat more people with high stools like a bar, but they put their junk in there.I'd come back for the food, but do your best not to stick around beyond that. Heck even trying to get an estimate took longer than it should have.Wheelchair accessibility: Don't even try. The way this place is configured, is a circuitous path to the counter to order.

Min Min Pie House is a small casual restaurant that has delicious food! It has about 5 small tables and you place your order via an app and a QR code. My friend and I went there on Lunar New Year and ordered the Beef noodle soup, Scallion pancake, cucumber salad, spicy tofu and fried pancake with beef. Everything was quickly served and tasty! The server was efficient in bringing us water and anything we needed. Would definitely return and try other items on the menu!

As fresh as it gets. The pies and dumplings are made to order, starting from the dough! They literally knead the dough, fill it, and fry it as soon as you order. Jaw drop. It's delicious. Just try it.
This restaurant serves the best pan-fried dumplings I've ever had in the United States! The flavor is incredibly authentic, and they're crispy and delicious!
