Searching around for a Chinese spot I haven't tried near work yet, I found this spot down the street. At first glance (unless you google) you would not know they sell Chinese food cause of the name (ok, perhaps the first two words might give it away). No website for online ordering, you could call and place a phone order but I opted just to go directly there. Their Chinese food is buffet style, but behind the counter for them to serve (not AYCE though). I chose the two item combo for 8.99 and got orange chicken and pepper chicken. Majority of my container was mostly rice though (choice of chow mein or fried rice - have to ask for steamed rice). I also ordered their cream cheese wontons (5 pcs for 2.75) which was a bargain. Total price was 12.94 incl tax which is a good deal (no drink incl). As for the taste of the food, it was mediocre, at best. The cream cheese wontons had this vinegary taste to them, which I have never tasted before. The two mains were ok, but lacked flavor. I did not get any soy sauce for my rice other than one packet of sriracha and one small container of sweet n sour sauce for the wontons. The combo also came with one egg roll and it was just ok. Cannot comment about their other lunch items (sandwiches) nor their donuts, but if I do patronize this establishment again I will not go for Chinese food. read more

Golden Express & Donuts - Chinese Near Me - Carson, California

I've been going here for over a decade. It's always been the same adorable ladies who worked the front counter and their Chinese food and donuts are so good. Lately my go to order is a ham and cheese with an iced coffee. Honestly, it's always faster. There's always people inside and food is always fresh and getting made. read more

Love these donuts!! My work got donuts the other day to show their appreciation of all our hard work.. I tried a buttermilk one and a cake one with chocolate frosting.. I even had one a day later and it was still delicious!! read more

I want to say thank you to the staff for opening up early in the morning to serve that deliciously donuts and Vietnamese coffee. Especially to the chef for making that super delicious Chow Fun and special fried rice. Unbelievable dish. The flavor is perfect to taste. Rich in sauce and texture. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Appetizer: 1. 1x Egg roll The egg roll is mixed with shredded cabbage chopped meat, or other fillings inside a thickly-wrapped wheat flour skin. Main: 1. Tuna Sandwhich Canned tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, relish, etc... any others upon request. This Tunalicious Sandwhich was super duper juicy deliciously. What incredible Sandwhich when combined with all the additives. The best Tuna Sandwhich, my opinion. It was so fresh and so good. What can you ask for during brunch. I definitely recommend this location due to their choices of custom-made orders. This place is clean and sanitized. Their parking lot is limited but have street parking. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY! read more

Amazing coffee and decent food for a fair price. Staff is great to was greeted and helped moments after walking in

3.5 Stars! Donuts and Asian Fast Food! Fast, Easy and Cheap..3.5 Stars! Where else can you stop  and get fast chinese style food and fesh donuts. Wait, theres more! They also have coffee and drinks and are open early.  Nothing beats an all-nighter that is topped off with a togo order of orange chicken, orange glazed donuts and a large coffee. Icing on the cake is that the donuts are fresh and you won't  leave with an empty wallet.   The ladies working here are really nice. The parking lot is small but I have always found a spot. This is a good choice if you are in a rush and want a quick bite, donuts for dessert and not spend a lot.  A dozen donuts will cost you about 40 to 50% less than some of the other local donut spots.  Overall, reasonably priced, easy parking, fast and easy lunch and donuts. read more

I need my refund. I ordered for my daughters birthday party to be picked up last Saturday OCT 1st and your store is closed due to Gas Leak. I understand but you have to call and inform your customers who's relying on that food. Very unprofessional. Up until now the store is closed and i haven't received my refund. read more

Golden Express & Donuts - Closed! - Chinese Near Me - Carson, California

Pretty inconsiderate. You can hear someone in the back chopping, they peek around the corner and see 2 people waiting. 2 customers isn't enough to care to stop what they're doing to take care of them. I won't be back. read more

Their doughnuts are subpar but their Chinese food always gave me stomachaches, so I stopped giving them chances. Try at your own risk and reply to this thread. Let me know if it's changed. I doubt it has, but I am hopeful since it's a family owned business. I want them to succeed but not at the cost of a person's wellbeing. read more

As donut places go, this is pretty standard offerings, but wait, they serve croissant sandwiches too, which makes a world of difference. Did I mention they make chine food too? This place has breakfast and lunch covered for the working folks here in Long Beach/Carson. The food is excellent, and the two women running the show have their act together. If you have a big order, they even through in a dozen donut holes for good measure. I can't say it's the healthiest of breakfasts, but it sure is good as we slowly get ready for another days duty at work. read more

Golden Express & Donuts - Great selection of foods! - Chinese Near Me - Carson, California

A standard looking Chinese fast food joint. They have donuts, fruit drinks, sandwiches, great for those working nearby to stop for lunch. Although it looks very simple, this place has a great variety of food and combinations, something for everybody. The tuna sandwich, however, stands out above all their menu. It is absolutely the best tuna sandwich ever in size, price, and taste. If you like tuna, definitely worth a trip. Not much parking but it's never too busy around here. read more

Another place I visit often because it is close to work. This is your standard Chinese fastfood. They have orange chicken, teriyaki beef, kung pao chicken, etc. All prepared waiting to be out into a white to go container. The dishes that I feel stand out are actually the mushroom chicken and green bean chicken. They give you a lot of fresh veggies and they won't make you feel sluggish. Another hidden gem on the menu is the freshly made house noodle soup, which I would compare to wonton soup with noodles. Also the need chow fun is pretty good. No complaints on the chinese section of the restaurant, I can't speak about the donuts as I've never tried them. $6.75 for chow mein/rice + 2 sides and a drink is unbeatable. read more

Golden Express & Donuts - Chinese food on the left. Donuts on the right with small seating area in front. - Chinese Near Me - Carson, California

Ive lived around the block for 2 years already and have been here many times for their chinese food but just found out this place is open at 4am mon-frida y!! Delicious sandwiches and drinks ,especially for some quick breakfast !!! read more

Great hidden place with amazing food and they even have donuts and ice cream. Free egg rolls and the lady is super nice no complaints

Bought donut holes 6/21/19 in the morning; a co-worker told me this morning that a tiny piece of glass was on the glaze of one donut hole; she gave me the piece of glass and yes i cut my finger feeling it. I called the donut shop (310 549-5918) this morning and they of course don't believe this; i called them back and left them a message. This is very dangerous especially for kids since the schools are around the corner. Dept of Food should know about this. Be careful if you bite into something a bit too hard at this place. not safe at all! read more

Wish I can give this place 0 stars bought a small iced coffee and When i was almost done with my drink and I noticed there was a small fly inside my drink I was going to go back to get my money back but I noticed they had a B I think health department should go back and shut them down very disgusting read more

First time I'd ever tried this restaurant and I had orange chicken and chow mein the combo a I was pleasantly surprised the orange chicken was very good usually I'm a Panda Express person but Panda Express is a hit and miss. Sometimes it's glazed nicely the orange chicken other times it's like it's been sitting forever and the glaze orange glaze has kind of absorbed into the chicken or whatever and it doesn't look that good and it doesn't taste as good as it does when it's really fresh and and tastes very orangey at this restaurant it was perfect the first night for dinner and perfect the next day for warm up leftovers the orange glaze was still on top of the chicken had not disintegrated I will be going back there again read more

I go here for the food the wonton soup is really good, so is there orange chicken . The cashier is a bit rude but oh well, place is nice & clean read more

My boyfriend took me to this place since he has gone here numerous times and had raved how good the won ton soup was. I can say that he was right. The soup was delicious. It had great flavor and I loved that they had chinese chili oil to add to my soup. Golden Express offers many options from Chinese food, smoothies, sandwiches and donuts. It's a quick place to stop and pick up something. It's small and not many tables. I would definitely go again. read more

Came here to fulfill my random donut craving and I wasn't dissapointed. Their donuts are really nice and fluffy. Upon entering, the kind Cambodian ladies greeted me with friendly hello's and smiles. There's a $5 minimum for debit cards so be aware of that. I only came in for their donuts but I still had about 3 dollars left to spend to fulfill the $5 minimum..so I bought one of their smoothies with boba. Now I don't know many places in Carson that have boba that isn't Thai iced tea so it was a surprise to see a wide array of flavors. I chose the strawberry smoothie with boba and it took about three minutes to prepare. Overall it was good, I didn't like the consistency of the boba, however. It tasted like it had been a while since it was cooked. But I'm not complaining, they don't specialize in boba afterall. The location isn't all that great and the parking is limited but it's by my work so it's very convenient for me during lunchtime. I've yet to try their Chinese food but plan to in the future! read more

This place is better than Panda Express and cheaper. Plus they have donuts & icecream & smoothies. The lady behind the counter is nice. Nice lady and good food Thats good enough for me read more

My dad brought a box of donuts one day after walking around the area. (Whatever exercise he had soon eliminated by the box of donuts) Donuts are great! I know of some other places within a mile of this location that serve donuts that taste old and have gotten hard. It's one of those Mash-up joints that make you say hey why not serve Fried Chicken here as well? What you think Fried Chicken and donuts don't go together? Anyhow come here for the donuts and have a good time grabbing a box (which you'll end up buying a box more than 3 times a week) read more

Been going here for 12years now. I love this place! Specially their combination fried rice. Always fresh. Thank you my friend!

The Chinese food here is so bad, I'm talking about disgusting to the point I couldn't even finish it. I just threw my plate in the trash. No flavor at all. read more

Open 24 hrs. Working nights is tough. A good ice coffee will do the trick. Glad they are close by. Price is reasonable.

Best Chinese food around here. First time getting the beef bowl and I love it. Beef was delish! And I also get the Thai tea. Perfect distance from my job and nice Asian family (: read more

Coffee here every morning. Great ham and cheese croissants. Great and friendly service!

Best Chinese Food in town!! As a chinese food lover ive tried many diff places & have not found 1 that i can say is bttr than this. Service is great. Not stingy at all w/the portions they serve. They also make good sandwiches for lunch.Plus the have ice cream, donuts, thai tea, smoothies n boba. I loooove this place!!! read more

Service (4): Maybe it's because I'm Asian, but the lady was very nice to me. Gave me more serving than most people. Sometimes they run out of Thai ice tea, but she'll always ask someone in the back to try to make it. Then depending what time you go before closing, she'll give two free donuts. Food (3): Honestly, the only thing I've ate there was the donut which was actually good. I've bought my boyfriend food from there because he'd buy lunch there during work. I've tried the chow mein, and it was pretty good. The thai iced tea is pretty good too. My advice is to go during lunch time when the food is fresh. Going at night will lead you to eat stale food that may look unappealing. Price (4): Typical chinese food price. Cleansiness (3): Shop seems old and it doesn't seem like they clean very often. Which may make me question the quality of their food... Hours of Operation (5): ONLY CHINESE PLACE NEAR MY APARTMENT THAT WAS OPEN AT NIGHT Concern: It's a Chinese fast food and donut shop. I would like it if the owner of the shop was Chinese and the cooks were chinese. However the store is runned by Cambodians. So I just feel that although both cultures are from Asia, the food leans toward a Cambodian taste. read more

This this place's ham and cheese croissants are yum. The worker (lady) is so friendly, I love her. I come here pretty often and I've yet been dissatisfied. read more

Go where they only sell just donuts. Not chinese food and donuts a bit ucky. They have a B rating so eat at your own choice. Messed up my donut order ugh I said 3 jelly donuts! If they got my order right then maybe I rate higher. How do you mess up donuts and the selection is not much. Go to yum yum donuts. read more

I always go there and they're good but I will say that they should give you that chili oil everytime lol... but they give you a great amount for cheap read more

Love everything about this place. Donuts are fresh, they have the best ham and cheese croissants! And even the Chinese food is good too! The ladies are nice too ! read more

So I use Yelp to check places out but considering this restaurant has 4 stars I'm second guessing the reviews. I liked this place for cheap fast Chinese food until one day I came in to get food and as the lady served my chowmein I saw a roach scurry through bobbing and weaving through the food trays. No thanks I'm good on this place. read more

Best bbq pork! Love their chow mein, and to top it off their cinnamon rolls are the size of my head!

They have some really delicious chinese food here for an amazing price! The combo with your choice of 2 different meats with rice and chowmein is always really packed with a lot! This is always my to go to chinese food place. Plus they sell good donuts, ice cream, and they have many varieties of boba flavors :) read more
