Closed by exterior fire. Don't know anything specific but it's always problematic when a restaurant burns as to whether it ever reopens.

Outstanding! Located in Torrance PO or "West Carson" a block away from Harbor UCLA Medical Center. On the outside, it looks like an old restaurant. They have their own dedicated lot. I was here twice, once with a group and a few weeks later with the hubby. Upon entry we were warmly greeted by the staff. The menu is rich with many choices of Chinese cuisine. My all time fave is a sweet and sour protein plate. Here they have pork. Had this scrumptious dish twice and it was still amazing even as leftovers. Check out my photos-- chow mein, scallops and veggies, sweet and sour pork, and even the complimentary dessert of tapioca. All tasted awesome! Big portions! The hubby was wowed at the generous portions of good looking food that was brought to us. Our servers were the sweetest, so attentive and kind. Even though they were masked I can see their warm smiles in their eyes. They are closed on Tuesdays but open all the other days of the week. Excellent Chinese food and service. 5 stars. read more

The most reasonably priced, fast, tasty, Chinese restaurant you'll find in the South Bay, Torrance/Carson area! They have the most generous servings, including their lunch menu that goes thru 3PM. The service is fast and the ambiance is "old neighborhood Chinese." Our fellow Church goers, The CDA, often reserve a few tables to celebrate BDays & special occasions here... I believe this was Michelle Kwan's parents' restaurant in the olden days? We love their fresh veggies & chicken and also the spicy salty pork chops AND fish... Super Yum and BIG Servings! This place is a favorite by some of our friends from Nativity Catholic School & Church... You will like it here. Come on in and eat, a lot! read more

Golden Pheasant - Braised string beans, chicken & veggies, & salt & spicy squid... just some of my favorites! - Chinese Near Me - Torrance, California

Restaurant is big but very clean. They have a parking lot which is nice. The service was friendly and prompt. The food was hit or miss, unfortunately. The shrimp in lobster sauce had no flavor. The Mongolian beef and cashew chicken were tasty. The chicken with vegetables was a little bland. Everything though was very fresh and hot. If in the area we would try it again. read more

10/10 me and my family love this place. If you are looking for flavorful Chinese food this is the spot to go to. The portions are huge but the food is also good some places have huge portions but the food sucks this is not one of those places. The orange chicken was probably some of the best I have ever had and the pork fried was amazing the pork was tender and soft a must get. I called to order but next time I might have to dine in read more

TLDR; delish food, huge portions, & we'll be back! First time here! I've had it bookmarked for years, and just got to it ... should have come sooner! We tried: -Cream Cheese Wontons (8): Delish! Savory, Creamy, perfectly crisp! Comes w a nice sauce too. -Orange Chicken: big Juicy flavorful pieces, sauce is delish and lots of it. Maybe not as crispy as other places, but the quality of meat makes up for it. -Mongolian Beef: meat cooked to perfection, flavors are good! -House Special Chop Suey: great flavor sauce! Comes w/ Chicken, beef, shrimp, mushrooms, broccoli, snap peas, and tons of bean sprouts. We loved everything. And had TONS of Leftovers. Portions are huge! Also, they wine & beer. Limited options, but it's there! Wine was like 9.50/ea Beer was like 6.95/ea ??? I think! *a lil high? :/ read more

My family and I have been going to this restaurant for years even when it was still owned by Michelle Kwan's family. We love the staff. They're so friendly and welcoming! We enjoy our usual orders like Xiao long bao, soy sauce lo mein with chicken, chicken with Chinese broccoli, sweet sour pork and shrimp, garlic pea shoots, Mongolian beef, honey walnut shrimp, salt pepper pork chop, and fried rice. They give huge portions of food when dining there. The restaurant is pretty spacious. Great for big parties. Parking is somewhat limited nearby but can park in the next lot if there's space. read more

We have been searching for an authentic Chinese restaurant since Seafood Port closed and found that Golden Pheasant offers some of our favorite menu items and also has generous lunch special portions. The salt and pepper pork chops and salt pepper squid need a bit more seasoning for our liking. Their vegetable-forward dishes are tasty well seasoned, and prepared al dente, particularly the mixed vegetables, bok choy with garlic sauce and mixed vegetables. Unlike most take/out places, they include the hot and sour and/or chicken corn soup as part of the takeout orders; however, we found the soup to be too thick and pasty. Service is fast and efficient. Overall, It's worth trying the lunch specials. read more

Word on the streets is that Michelle Kwan's family previously owned the Golden Pheasant back in the day. Love getting the duck, fried salt and pepper pork chops, sautéed garlic snow peas, filet mignon French style, and beef chow fun dry. The service was fast and really nice. My only issues that dropped a star was the cleanliness. My tea cup and silverware were dirty. Also the presentation of the roast duck. The picture I took is how it showed up at the table. Whenever I order roasted duck from a Chinese restaurant it's cut with precision and placed on a serving plate showing the carving skills of the chef. Sadly it wasn't done here. read more

My nephew had his Graduation Luncheon here and all the dishes were delicious. They ordered so many dishes, I didn't take a pic of everything. Aside from the main dining area, there is a small back area that has enough room for 5 large tables. The service even though they were packed, was good. A few times we had to wait for drink refills, but considering we were a party of almost 30 and a full restaurant. The parking is limited, but there's additional parking in adjacent lots. The interior is the usual Chinese Restaurant decor, nothing fancy, but clean and charming. They do a significant amount of to-go trays, keep them in mind for your next gathering. read more

We stopped in for late lunch for the first time at this restaurant. We were seated pretty quickly around 3 pm. The restaurant was busy with a birthday party in the back area and other tables about half filled with customers. Our server who took our order was abrupt and not very friendly. It was businesslike and she didn't seem interested in answering questions. Acoustics in the restaurant not great if you're trying to have a conversation. We enjoyed the beef chow fun and price was very reasonable. We also ordered the fried flounder, which was overly fried with a thick coating. Hot and sour soup came with the lunch specials. Don't get the Thai iced tea. It had no flavor. Portion sizes were generous for lunch. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. read more

We were looking forward to the takeout after reading such great reviews. But the food was below average (ordered five dishes). I found myself regretting not going to Panda Express instead. The shrimp chowmein was decent, but I would never want to eat any of the other items. How do you mess up pineapple fried rice (lacked flavor), that will remain a mystery. The bittermelon beef (should be called Boring Beef), house special chicken, and fried garlic squid (over cooked and chewy) were all below average. On a positive note, the portions are large. We'll have to repurpose all the leftovers somehow. The portion and price should be slashed by half I'll never go back unfortunately. It was a very busy night, but that should never be an excuse for making below average food. read more

I love Golden Pheasant. The food is always delicious. It's a busy place but they have enough staff to keep things moving. It's always clean. Decor is just what you would expect. I call my order in to reduce the wait time. The lady that answers the phone is nice but fast. You won't get any small talk out of her over the phone. I've had the broccoli beef, their house fried rice with shrimp and beef, chow mein, bok choy with beef, honey shrimp, spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken, and the list goes on. I've never had a bad dish and their food is not greasy. The portion sizes are plentiful. My last order was the house rice and the broccoli beef. It was enough to feed three people, myself, hubby and my 23 year old son. It is my go to Chinese restaurant in Carson for sure! A must try. So busy eating I forgot to take a pic of the food!! read more

Great food for a great price! This place is budget friendly and gives large portions. The orange chicken was delicious, it's not your typical orange chicken but rather more garlicky orange chicken flavor. The sauce was a bit too much for me, where I felt it was overly dressed with sauce. My favorite dish is the sweet and sour chicken, so crispy and delicious. The half portion of the wonton soup was enough for 4 people plus a few refills. The location has a bit of wear and tear here and there but it still has that feeling of a chinese food sit down restaurant that I remember going to growing up. For. Wednesday night, the place was mellow and had a few other families dining. read more

This place is golden! I can't believe this was my first time ever trying this place, it's truly a hidden gem. Definitely no frills here, quick, straight to the point Chinese cuisine, and I'm not mad about it. They have a huge menu to choose from, and we decided to go with the filet mignon French style, honey walnut shrimp, and combination fried rice. Literally everything hit. The meat was nice and tender with lots of flavor. The shrimps were a good size, nice crispy batter and perfect sauce. And the rice went well with it both. I will definitely be back for the shrimp though! And I would like to try many of their other dishes. I will say, their free tapioca dessert to end your meal could use some help, it was very bland. All in all, the service was nice, they gave us soup on the house! We got the egg drop soup, it was okay, maybe hot and sour will be better. Nonetheless, I am now a new fan, and I will be back to try some other dishes to see what it's hitting for. Happy eats, loves! ^_^ read more

Amazing good quality and food. The atmosphere is also really chill. The service was also amazing

Where do we go now? It was the best. We love Lucky China in Carson but Golden Pheasant was the best hands down.

I've driven past Golden Pheasant for years and went for the 1st time yesterday. I had no idea this place was so popular! It was PACKED! The food was amazing (portions are huge so beware), service was exceptional. (We had some demanding folks at our table but the servers went above & beyond.) I was overwhelmed by the volume of food & managed to take just one good pic. My faves were the sautéed greens, sautéed scallops & egg drop soup with imitation crab. I also enjoyed the minced chicken in lettuce wrap. The servers came many times throughout the evening refilling our water, tea, giving us extra napkins, etc. Reading the other reviews, it seems like some folks had negative experiences with service but we had the opposite experience. The restaurant staff was like one big family. The interior was bright, clean, attractive (maybe newly renovated). Would definitely return. read more

We love this food. It is amazing good. My family wpuld go often. Will you be re-opening at another location.

Do you love leftovers? Then Golden Pheasant is for you! Enormous portions and a menu packed with options likely to please any palate. As each mountain sized entree was placed on our table, I was making notes about how much refrigerator space I'd need to manage these leftovers at home. The 2 of us ordered enough food for a small army. We knew we wanted leftovers but had no idea the portions were super gigantic. The egg rolls were freshly made, but I'd say these were underwhelming, and we would not order them next time. Maybe some Chinese hot mustard would have kicked up the flavor profile, minus that I doused mine in chili oil and the sweet sauce. But again, I would not order these again. Seriously, I'd stop at Fu Sing for an egg roll order, then head here for mains. Word. His spicy and sour soup worked once he added a healthy amount of chili oil and a generous squeeze of Meyer lemon (from our garden). I don't carry vinegar, but if I did, he would have added it, too. He enjoyed a couple of bowls at the restaurant and had enough for 2 more bowls as leftovers. I wonder if we asked, would they have upped the spicy heat? I loved that every entree had chunky veggies - none of those small diced pieces that make you wonder if there are any veggies at all. Red and green bell peppers, onions, cabbage, green onions, chilies, super yummy. Pork fried rice was a hit for him. Big chunks of pork. I'm not a fan because, well, eggs. Kung Pao beef, 3 Ingredient chow mein, Orange chicken, all delicious and served nuclear hot just out of the wok. None of the entrees were spicy, so again, the chili oil was abundantly added. Note for next time: Ask nicely for the spicy heat level to be amped up. Can't miss the bright yellow restaurant just across from Harbor UCLA Medical Center. There is plenty of parking in the lot. Swift and friendly service. Big portions, excellent value. Bring a group. Share the food. Plan on leftovers. read more

Came back for lunch after church on 3/9/25 and some things have changed in our opinion. The generous portions remain but the taste was not the same as we remembered. They obviously still have loyal customers who are regulars. The staff were friendly and helpful, they deserve 4 stars for that. The food is about 3.5 stars as the taste was lacking from what we are used to. Definitely a favorite local place for their generous portions and friendly staff. Lunch special is available every day and great price for large portions. The ambiance is loud but homey. read more

Pretty solid Chinese food for the South Bay area. We got: -Beef chow fun: Simple, taste good, not too salty. Very solid dish. -Salt and pepper pork chop: MASSIVE portions. and when I say massive, the lid didn't even close. It's super crispy and the flavors are good. -honey walnut shrimp: Good, heavy on the mayo tho -Garlic string beans: Yummy, lots of flavor Comes with free rice Total was about $77 for those dishes and it fed 4 people easily with quite a few leftovers. We ordered ahead and the food was ready in about 15 minutes. read more

Great Chinese food and great service. The restaurant had many different sized tables that can accommodate small groups and big groups of up to 12. The pork chop was good, we saw some one order pork chops with red sauce on it too, that looked very good too. The veggies were tender. Everything was flavorful but not too salty. The XLB were decent, but I didn't like that they were stuck together, my general rule for a great XLB is that they can't touch after being cooked because all the soup will leak out when I try to separate them. But other than that everything tasted great. They offer dessert too, today we got mung bean with tapioca. A nice end to a great meal. read more
