Pharaohs Shisha Lounge - Chillin - Hookah Bars Near Me - Torrance, California

Very affordable and quality hookah! Lowkey spot with good music. I will definitely be back.

Went in a Monday night to try it out. It was my first time smoking this which was different from the cigars I usually smoke. The place was very quiet and laid back plenty of space which I can assuming can be filled on a weekend. The place was clean and unkept. I read more

Pharaohs Shisha Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Torrance, California

Went here on a Saturday night around 10pm. I met up with a group of people that were already inside and we were the only ones there which wasn't really a problem but I do like a live atmosphere. The guy that was currently running the place was playing music but it was so low that the vibes were putting us to sleep. I asked if he could turn up the music and his words were, "It's just you guys in here" so all he did was turn the speaker towards us. I would never return to this place. read more

Great place to come chill and smoke some hookah. Service is great and so is the music . I've only came during the week but I heard during the weekend it gets really packed. read more

Went here last night with one of my homies for the first time and had a really good time. Music was great! They had a movie on that I was invested in and Peter and his staff was great at checking in with us and making sure we were good. Definitely will be making this a usual hangout for me and my friends! read more

This is such a GREAT spot for any celebration! It's intimate and so much fun to let loose with your friend & loved ones! Also great service!! read more

the place was closing at 2am my friend and i showed up around 1:00 am and they act like they couldn't accommodate us with a discount. also the restroom was disgusting. maybe a cleaner environment would attract more satisfied customers. music was good tho gr8 dj :) read more

terrible customer service and the "receptionist" wore an ugly tied ass wig and the seats are burnt up, call the ambulance please! we need a new ambiance! thank you! read more

Manger wasn't the greatest. Also prices don't add up. We came on a Saturday night and it was $20 per person if you didn't want to smoke hookah but $30 to smoke for 2 people. We came with a large party of over 20 people to celebrate a wedding and the manager was rude to pretty much everyone in our party. They also didn't have a DJ to play music so they played music off of someone's phone. Who doesn't hire a DJ on a Saturday night? Hookah wasn't bad but service was trash. Our party has agreed they wont ever be returning. read more

This is a great place to catch a vibe! The manager and people who work here were super helpful and friendly. It felt like everyone there was hanging out together even though we didn't know each other. It had like a "living room energy" with strangers who felt like the homies. read more

This place has a vibe and energy that we all need in our lives! Pharoah's come in clutch when alleviating the stress! I have came here on several occasions during the school year when I just couldn't deal with my daily life! I stop by here and get amazing customer service by hostess Ya-Ya, and lounge owner, Peter! On the weekends, the location has a live DJ and he is really good! This place can get packed on the weekends so prepare! I recommend the Mint Hookah with Ice-tip! It's as if you are inhaling air with super minty gum in the mouth! I enjoyed my time here and will be returning in the nearby future! I recommend this for people who like to get turnt and sometimes mellow when they play the slow jams! read more

Great customer service. The employees are really helpful with recommendations and assuring you get the experience you want. The atmosphere is very chill and the product is high quality. Will definitely be back. read more

So, I thought I wrote a review about this place, but that was on Facebook. So let me make sure I tell the world how awesome this place is! Peter greeted me and my friend and was very nice and pleasant. He offered several flavors to get started and said we could sit anyway so we did. I forget the flavor we did, I think it was vanilla, and it taste good. However I was having a hard time learning how to do Hookah, so of course being the nice guy he was, Peter showed me how to smoke hookah correctly and from there it was on and popping!!! They don't sell alcohol, so don't you are going to get a drink and sit back and relax so get turnt up before you come. The scenery is nice and cozy and has an Egyptian look. Also they have several T.V showing music videos with the music loud enough to make you want to bob ya head a bit. It was nice! I will for sure be back for some nice simple fun. read more

This place is chill and the guy who is always there in the evening is a great server and very outgoing..

Located in the heart of ghetto Carson, this hookah place was a welcome sight after a round of drinks in Hermosa Beach, and the main attracting factor was the fact that they were the only hookah place that was open past 2a, and not downtown! We walked in to a full house and were treated to a live DJ until around 2a when the vibe started to mellow out a bit. The hookah was great, staff was attentive with the coals, and overall a great experience smoking the paan flavored hookah! Would definitely return read more

This is one of my favorite local hookah spots. They have movie night and it's pretty laid back. The seating is nicely spread out; not cluttered like many other places. The hookahs are made nice and staff us super friendly. There is a Dominos next door you can grab pizza and bring it in but you can't bring drinks since they sell them here. Water Melon Mint is one of the best flavors, I usually get that and a caramel Starbucks Frappuccino. Would definitely recommend all my friends to come here. read more

HORRIBLE!! Kim was amazing but the guy who called himself the manager was a pure A*hole . my party and i spent the the most money and received horrible service ! read more

Huff-puff and chill-out! My friends who are regulars at this place swore on how great this spot is. And they're proven to be real friends! This spot is spacious and have lots of hookah flavors to choose from. And the price is very reasonable. The owner is also accommodating and friendly. During the week it does not get busy. But on the weekends, it's a different scene! Because it gets packed! This spot is definitely a gem in Southbay! I'll be a regular here for sure! read more

I loved this establishment, furniture pretty outdated and torn up, the girl at the register had a stank attitude for no reason, but the other staff were pretty good, the atmosphere was dope, will definitely go back ! Sidenote DJ showed up about 10pm and it also started getting packed in there, they started turning people away!!!! read more

5 stars every god damn time! I'm chilling here listening to this dj spin some dope hiphop Hookah is on point! I hate places with weak hookah but this place got it!! Great staff, always friendly and helpful. Come thru if you're in the area! read more

Great hookah, service fast and they have a many flavors of hookah. I love white gummy bears it's best of the best. Service polite everybody smiled to me. I will visit this palace one more time with my friends. Probably in Friday. I hope this place didn't change, read more

Peter hands down has the best hookah compared to all the other places within the area. Thank you for always taking care when we come in. I been supporting his business since he opened. Gets better all the time. Thank you. Yaya is amazing. She always knows the flavors. read more

The place was small and not much people the dj was okay and the service was good because they kept check on our hookah too make sure it wasn't too harsh. although service was good, I got to say that the shisha or whatever it's called was pretty low end quality because it literally made me throw up. Even one of the guys there who was sitting near us along with his girlfriend made conversation with us. He told me and my girlfriend that it made him throw up and I didn't believe him. I felt lightheaded which is normal after several hits. I have gone to other hookah places like one by USC and another one called Empire Hookah Lounge in Hacienda Heights/Rowland Heights. Once my girl and I headed out and got to our place I was nauseous and threw up too! I am sorry for the bad review but this isn't something that has ever happened to me with hookah so I'm never going back there again. read more

I'm leaving this review as I sit here. Let me start off with walking up to the hookah bar. The "security" guard checks IDs at the door... But also pats down guys? Uhh since when did hookah lounges pat down people? The "owner" wasn't very pleasant when we got in. Sat us down by the door. As we looked at the menu he comes and asks if we are ready. So we tell him what we wanted and his response "hey I need to help my DJ bring his speakers in, ill get it for you when I'm done" okay really?? Customers come first is what I always thought? Guess his DJ is more important then making money. Hookah is "ok" it's not the best. Cherry bomb is better as far as tobacco. Hookahs are just whatever. But here's the topper It's 10 at night and before we showed up I stopped by 711 to get an energy drink to keep me awake. I walked in with the can UN OPENED and the "security" guard didn't say anything. once we sat I opened it and started drinking it. After a friend ordered a drink from him he looks at me and says "sorry, we don't allow outside food and drinks in here. You need to take it outside or your car" so whatever, I let it go and my boyfriend took it to the car Wasn't Untill maybe 20 min later I realize his friends who happen to be across from us have had fast food drink cups. And he never said anything to them. So why are you going to have a rule but not follow it with everybody? He doesn't come around at all to change the coals or shake them to get the ash off. I don't know how this place for good reveiws. Hookah is whatever, service sucks, and the "owner" is extremely rude. read more

Pharaohs Shisha Lounge - As you can see. "No outside food or drinks allowed here" haha! Ridicules! - Hookah Bars Near Me - Torrance, California

Came here for my hookah fix. Prices are really good, probably one of the cheaper hookah lounges I've been to. Also, with a Yelp check-in you get 20% off! The place is kinda small so you might have to wait on weekends. The ambience is dark and foggy as hell (maybe air out the place a little), but aside from that no complains. Workers are friendly and they keep changing coals often which is nice. read more

Best hookah in Torrance!! Awesome service and fun live music!! Peter is the man! They always take care of you and provide quality flavors and the facility is clean friendly and fun!!! I would definitely recommend coming here!! read more

So, last night I was at here and dropped my wallet on the couch I was sitting on but didn't realize it was missing until this morning. The cleaning staff happen to find it, left it untampered and turned it in to the management. So I gave them some of my gratitude as a token of my appreciation. I hope their blessings multiply by millions I've always felt that I am super blessed but this just proved to once again good karma does exist read more

As I promised the wonderful staff person Peter, I would review this place upon my first visit. I visited with my boyfriend, and we've been to many hookah lounges all over the state of California (Especially San Francisco and Los Angeles) - and my boyfriend has been to a few in Las Vegas. Hands down, I have to say not only in the South Bay, but California, this is THE BEST hookah place I've ever been to. I will tell you my reasonings below. 1. The customer service is impeccable. The staff is very friendly, will help you with your choices, and they don't give you a hard time and try to overcharge you for having a person at your table who doesn't even smoke. (For instance my boyfriend doesn't, and there was no problem with that.) At other places like SeaSide or the other place in Redondo on Torrance Blvd... they not only watch you like a hawk but will charge me for two people even if I'm the only one smoking. EVEN IF I SIT IN FRONT OF THEM TO PROVE IT! Its ridiculous. Here, you can enjoy and not have to worry about anything like that and I'll explain below. 2. You purchase by hookah, by flavors. Its either going to be 13 or 15 depending on which you choose.... regular, or premium flavors. I must admit that is so much cheaper than anything I've ever come across. So that makes my wallet happy. And even on a Thursday there is college night where if you bring your college ID you get discount hookahs! Sweet deal. 3. The atmosphere is something I can really appreciate here. Comfy couches, spaced far enough away from each other that you dont feel cramped at all. Walls painted dark red which gives it a nice dark ambiance, and some cute little lava lamps to go along with the decor. There isn't any any overkill of tapestries and draperies most hookah places tend to have (which begins to smell after a while to be quite honest. Its just a nice feel, large space, and I really appreciate that you can actually have some privacy even in large groups. Even though theres not a food menu, staff is happy to tell you that you're welcome to get Dominoes from next door and bring it in. :) Everyone should give this place a try. read more

This place is one of the best and the owner PETER really knows his stuff i.e. Hookah. So i would suggest, if u like to go to some place in and around Torrance, this is the place. Friday, Saturday nights are music nights followed by movie night on Sunday. Nice place to be with very very reasonable prices. Friday, Saturday nights are usually happening with a lot of people, good service; and what else you need from a hookah place. DJ is awesome with all the latest songs with good acoustics. Ambience is very good and the guy just got the renovation done. If you want to take a leak, restrooms are also maintained in a pretty decent way. I would rate this place a good hangout place with decent service. Enjoy your hookah !! Pros: price, service, variety of flavors, good quality hukah Cons: get out of here people, this place rocks !! read more

I love this place!! We've been searching for a hookah bar that had good hookah/music/overall ambience and we stumbled on this gem!! Peter is the nicest owner I've met at any hookah bar! He's gracious to his customers, his rules are easy and simple enough, and he checks up on his customers. If you want good hookah, excellent service and good music. Pharoahs is the place for you! read more

Wonderful place to hangout and smoke. Been coming here for years and always have a good time. Any reviews that isn't a 5 Star are people who just want something to complain about when they can. read more

Great hookah, great service, always play good music whether there is a live DJ or not the music is always good. The hookah is great and lasts a solid 2 rounds of coals maybe even 3. read more

Oddly enough when I was looking for a new hookah lounge this wan't my original plan but I'm glad that other place was closed and I ended up here. This place is pretty good. Peter, the owner/employee, is pretty great. He's a nice guy. If you come during happy hour the hookah is only $10, score! They have a good selection of flavors, many that I've been wanting to try. It's not as strong or flavorful as other places that I've been to but it's probably average. The atmosphere is neat. It's dark inside and has lava lamps and other under the seats lighting. It's different and kinda rad. I'd recommend this to anybody looking for a hookah fix, especially on a budget. read more

Best hookah bar I've been to. Great laid back atmosphere to chill on the weekdays. Weekends gets popping with the live dj and good music. Great service! Peter is the best, always helpful in flavor recommendations. He also remembers I always take my hookah with a hot cup of tea. This place is definitely my spot when I wanna relax. read more

I'm not from that area but we go to redonda beach a lot so I guess it was a year ago we were looking for hookah lounges and found this place decided to give it a try. I'm very picky about my hookah I barely like anyone else's hookah but this guy was just really good and had alfakher which is the only flavor I smoke and the place was just an awesome Lowkey place we loved it. Yesterday again we were at redonda beach me and my friend wanted hookah and I found this place again and had the same experience than before. Awesome Lowkey place, great hookah and prices are very fair. it feels like your home. Well be back soon. read more

Hookah is so smooth, nice classy set up in here. I will be coming back out here when I come to Torrance. Highly recommended.

Came here with some co-workers after our shift because we wanted a place to relax and unwind. Originally we were gonna go to some place in Pasadena but that was ruled out due to distance. So with a quick yelp search we found Pharoahs Shisha Lounge. We came on a Sunday night so it wasn't really that busy. The atmosphere was very relaxed and there was not too much going on, compared to some other places that have really loud music and a million tvs playing outdated movies. We were seated by Peter who I think is a co-owner. It was a bit awkward at first because out of the five people in my group only 3 people were gonna smoked and I happened to be the only one with experience in using a hookah and choosing flavors. Since not everyone wanted to smoke we still had to get two hookahs. He told us that it was one hookah per 2 people, regardless if they were gonna smoke or not which is reasonable. Besides that Peter was really helpful with recommending flavors for beginners and mentioning flavors that can be mixed and so on. They have a $13 hookah with your basic fruity flavors and a $15 hookah which I think was Starbuzz. We ordered one of each. Peach and mint for the $13 one and Blue Mist for Starbuzz. For a group of 5 people and 2 hookahs with about 2 1/2 hours of use we only paid a little over $30 bucks!!!!! Probably the best thing about this place is the fact that you can bring food from anywhere you want. Which is really convenient because there is a Dominos literally next door. NO OUTSIDE DRINKS THOUGH!!!! Doesn't matter their drink menu is awesome! Overall, my experience was great. Great hookah, great service, great place. I'd recommend Pharoahs Shisha Lounge to anyone in the Torrance area!!! Thanks Peter!!! read more
