If you're craving American-Chinese food, this is it. Amazing quality, fresh ingredients and every dish we ordered was just made so well. It's a good sign when you walk in and you see Chinese people eating there and Chinese people making your food. We ordered: -Vegetable Egg Foo Young: I've never ordered this dish before, but the picture online looked so good. I'm glad I did, it was nice and crispy on the outside and the sauce that it comes with is soo good. My 2.5 year old son really liked this too -Black Pepper Beef: yummm the beef was so tender and they don't skimp on anything. Perfect amount of black pepper, my son loved this too. -Singapore Mei Fun (curry noodles): this is one of my favorite items to order from Chinese restaurants and they did a great job with this. If you want noodles, but lighter than lo mein, this is a great option. I love the texture of the thin noodles -Char Sui Bao: I half expected this to be store bought, but it was homemade! The bbq pork pieces were large and the sauce was not too sweet. The bun with soft and pillowy and it was just perfection. -Vegetable stir fry: I don't know if they accidentally gave this to us for free, but it was my husband's favorite dish. The sauce that it comes in is savory and slightly sweet/gingery. My son who doesn't normally eat vegetables was eating zucchini and mushrooms from this dish. We're excited to come back and try their chongquing spicy fried chicken and other dim sum items. Thank you! read more

Chef K is a wonderful Chinese takeout located conveniently off the 215 freeway. I've been here several times and the food is always fantastic. The absolute best part is almost everything can be made gluten free here which was a great surprise on my first visit. They even have gluten free Orange Chicken! The service is always great. The staff is extremely friendly, especially the woman & gentleman that owns the restaurant. There are seats to dine in, but this place is known for takeout so don't expect a fine dining room/experience. Overall, if you're looking for some great Chinese food in the Murrieta area, this is a fantastic choice. read more

Thought I'd already made a review for this place. First off, I love em! Love the food. Omg. From the food, the flavor and portions *chef's kiss* Sidenote-I've only ever ordered delivery. Can't speak on the actual place and dine-in experience. My issue? The vegan options seem to often have some meat in them. My mapo tofu will often have some stray/scrap beef and what not in it, which makes it hard to recommend to vegans and hard to enjoy if you're not looking to eat meat. read more

Chef K - fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Murrieta, California

I came here with my mom because we love Chef K in Temecula but this place just didn't hit. We got 2 plates and the food just tasted so sweet. Like they added several tablespoons of sugar in the sauces. We could barely finish our portion. The original location in Temecula is superior. The beef and broccoli sauce was too sweet. The fried rice was bland and tasted like MSG. The noodles was the "best" part but somewhat bland overall. The service was nice and the lady at the desk was sweet. But the food isn't worth coming back to this location unfortunately. read more

Had to make a stop at the Los Alamos Post Office, and came across this little gem in the same complex. It was almost noon so we were lucky enough to catch their lunch specials for $12.99 Each entree comes with a soup ( sour or egg drop) and an appetizer (wonton with cream cheese, chicken wing or egg roll) And rice or noodles or half of each. I have to say, we got a lot of food, for that $12.99 and everything came steaming hot and fresh. I don't know of anyplace similar to this. It's definitely Chinese. The gal at the counter was smiling the whole time. She was very happy to be here. Overall 5 stars for Chef K. My daughter, husband and I enjoyed your place. Keep up the smiles and good food! read more

Warmly greeted as soon as we stepped in, very quick, attentive and friendly service. I love walking into establishments where you feel welcomed. We loved the Temecula location so much, we decided to try this express version for lunch and we were not disappointed. Their servings are extremely generous and they did not skimp on the meats with big servings of jumbo shrimp in the soft noodles and big chunks of bbq pork in the fried rice. My husband, myself and two of our children thoroughly enjoyed the food and we highly recommend this place! Not sure if they have more options besides just Ala Carte which gets pricey, they did have a lunch special, but maybe it would be nice to offer more options like a fast food Panda's like bowls or multiple choice plates. read more

I have ordered food about 10 times from this location. The food is always delicious, and portions are generous. My favorite Chinese restaurant in the Temecula/ Murrieta/ Wildomar area. read more

Chef K is my go-to Chinese food spot, and honestly, it slaps!! I used to be loyal to their Chongqing Chicken (spicy, crispy, and addictive), but then I met their lo mein noodles.... and wow, game changer!! These noods are perfectly seasoned, beautifully al dente, and not a soggy disappointment like some other joints I won't name (but you know who you are). This specific location was intended for takeout so they only have a few tables for dine in. Everything here is bomb, so if you're in town and not eating Chek K, you're doing it wrong!! read more

My favorite place to get Chinese food. I definitely recommend. I'm hoping to one day try everything on the menu, but all i get is the honey chicken lol read more

Such great authentic cuisine. The menu is full of the most delightful choices. The luncheon special includes choice of soup, fried or steamed rice or one of their fantastic egg roles. Generous servings and freshly cooked food. Looking for great Chinese food. Here you go ! read more

I wanted to share my recent experience at a new Chinese eatery I discovered through TikTok. I figured it was worth trying since finding authentic Chinese cuisine in our area can be quite a challenge. Firstly, I should mention that it's not really set up for dining in, as they only have about four tables and no public restroom available. They do have a kiosk for ordering, but I highly recommend placing your order online since everything is made fresh to order. - **General Tso's Chicken**: This dish was very tasty, fresh, and not spicy at all, which I appreciated. - **Crispy Beef**: I was a bit surprised; it didn't resemble the picture I saw on Yelp. It was extremely crispy--almost too crunchy to enjoy comfortably. - **Shrimp Fried Rice**: This was a highlight! Very enjoyable and flavorful. - **House Special Noodles**: Good overall but a tad dry in the middle. I think if you're looking for a quick bite of authentic Chinese food, it's worth checking out!! read more

Having just moved to the area, finding a good Chinese restaurant is very important. I ran into this place on Yelp, because of it's decent reviews. Instead of Doordashing, we drove there. Chinese food is better straight from the kitchen rather than after a 30 minute car ride on someone's floorboard. Anyway, I ordered my usual dish, the Mongolian Beef. My wife got the Dry Fried String Beans dish. We also had the Crispy Cream Cheese Wontons and a side of Fried Rice. You only get white rice with their dishes. Anyway, the place was very friendly and clean. We both loved our respective dishes. We ordered too much food, but it was delicious. We finished everything off the next day for lunch. We will definitely come here again! read more

Went here based on some Yelp reviews. The location is a good spot right of the freeway. Inside there are a few tables. You place your order on kiosk which I am all for but there is only one so if it gets busy I can see there being a line trying to place an order. With that being said, the food was great. We drove about 20 min to get here and having to drive the wntire way back smelling the food was torture, but once we got home and were able to enjoy it it was very good. read more

We were craving Chinese food and hadn't really tried anything in the area, so we decided to give this place a shot since it was only one exit away. When we arrived, we were greeted right away by two employees who were busy packing pickup orders, which was nice to see. We browsed the menu and I didn't initially see egg drop soup, so I asked the lady at the counter and she assured me they did have it. We ended up ordering the sticky orange chicken, pork soft noodles, wontons (8 pieces), and a small egg drop soup to go. She also asked us to choose a spice level for the chicken (1-5), and we went with a 3. Our food was ready in about 10 minutes, which was super convenient. Everything was incredibly tasty and exceeded our expectations. The quality of the food was amazing and everything was cooked to perfection. The pork soft noodles were some of the best I've had in a long time. This will definitely be our go-to spot for Chinese food from now on. read more

Chef K - Beef Kung Pao Beef(L) 宫保牛(L) - Chinese Near Me - Murrieta, California

First timer at THIS location- I love the main location in Temecula and I must say, it's a bit off but it's still really good. Got take out for their lunch special and the order was completed in the time given. Ordered the Mongolian Beef Lunch combo w/ fried rice, chicken wing and egg drop soup as the app. Mongolian Beef - A little too salty. Must be the MSG. But still good when balanced w/ rice Egg drop soup was good but you can tell there's a lot of msg in there too. Was not expecting corn in it either but I enjoyed it Chicken wing - really good. BUT. They give you one.. which was a disappointing thing to see opening my box but it is a combo so.. Fried rice - good but kind of lacking, worked well w/ the mong beef; I will say, their fried rice w/ other proteins are really good at the main location so it's prob just as good if ordered the same way here. Portion was really good. Kind service at the register, and was in and out quick. Not much seating even though in a big restaurant as it seems that most get it to go. Overall I say worth it if you are local and or not trying to deal w/ Temecula traffic. Will return. read more

Chef K - F3. Mongolian Beef F3. Lunch Combo, fried rice, chicken wing, egg drop soup - Chinese Near Me - Murrieta, California

We're new to the area and discovered this place based on reviews... and oh my goodness it did NOT disappoint! The lunch was FANTASTIC! Hot and sour soul was delicious... curry wing was unexpected but absolutely delicious and crunchy, and my tangerine chicken was amazing! The crab wontons were bomb too! Definitely will be back! My in laws had orange chicken and beef and broccoli and my man had sweet and sour chicken and everything was delicious! Give this place a shot. Food is generous for lunch so I can't imagine the dinner! read more

This place is great to pick up food.The kitchen is mostly meant for pickups, like catering or just to go. But if you do have to sit there and eat, they have three or four tables, small little ones. I'm from the san Gabriel valley and miss my asian dominated neighborhood because of the food and culture, this is like a little spot for authentic chinese food for me in the 951. Reminds me of my home town of sgv. One of the very few places in the 951 Murrieta, Menifee and Temecula area where one could have actual pretty good chinese food. read more

We've lived in the area for over 10 years and have struggled to find anything remotely good when it comes to Chinese food. After many recent suggestions to try Chef K--OMG. It did not disappoint. Everything we ordered hit. Combo fried rice? Slapped. Combo chow mein? Slapped. Sweet and sour chicken? Slapped. Garlic wings? Mind. Blown. Spicy crispy chicken? Burned so good. Salt and pepper ribs? Slapped. Finally found our go-to spot. read more

Combo fried rice is so good and comes with enough portions for 3 hungry people. The egg foo young is delicious and one of my favorite Chinese dishes, every place does them differently their gravy is brown translucent type of gravy and not a thick southern style of gravy. All in all it is delicious and everything I've had from them has been delicious. Tangerine chicken had a wonderful flavor. With 2-3 of the dishes you can easily feed a family of 5. This is our favorite Chinese place in the area. read more

The family wanted Chinese food and we had seen that Chef K had opened nearby. We stopped in around 6:30 pm for dinner. When we entered it was apparent that they are focused mainly on takeout. There are 4 small tables inside. We looked at the menu and was surprised by the selection, almost any classic dish is served. When we ordered, I asked what appetizers were gluten free (my daughter is gluten intolerant) and the young lady taking orders said the could make almost everything gluten free by using corn starch. Awesome, we ordered the spicy shrimp appetizer, house special fried rice, Kung Pao tofu, walnut shrimp, wonton soup, General Tso's chicken, and Tangerine Crispy chicken. They split the large wonton soup into 4 bowls and put the wontons on the side. The soup was delicious with plenty of meat and vegetables and there were 10 wontons to share. The spicy shrimp were spicy and delicious. The Tangerine chicken was delicious and perfectly cooked, crispy without being overcooked. The General Tso chicken was the best I've had in decades. It was sweet, tangy and perfectly cooked. The fried rice was very good as was the Kung Pao tofu. The food here is absolutely delicious, fresh, perfectly cooked and very ample servings. I highly recommend Chef K for the wonderful food and the excellent service. Great place for amazing food at a great price. read more

Friend rice was dry and no seasoning, Mongolian beef was good but started to taste salty the more you ate it.

Sometimes you have a pleasant surprise. Up in Murrieta today which is about 30 miles from where I live. Was hungry and I don't just want to go to the usual fast food joints so I dug around on Yelp and found this place. Went for the lunch special. Good deal, lots of not the usual Panda Express time food. Very nice people working there. Highly recommended. read more

I went again and the food was just as delicious! Their lunch special comes with so much food! The customer service is amazing. This is definitely my favorite local spot! I've been craving good sesame balls since Sushi Tomi closed about 10 years ago and this is the first place that I've found that makes them the way I like them! The fried food tastes like it was made in fresh, clean oil. The meat is good quality without any fat or gristle. We have tried about half of the menu now and have yet to find anything we don't like read more

After discovering my gluten allergy 8 months ago, Chinese food has been something I've missed so much. Chef K was able to satisfy the craving and safely for me! The website was super easy to navigate and has regular options and gluten free options. Doesn't seem to be a sit down restaurant, more the hotspot for online orders and is very tech savvy. Upon entering, I was greeted with the biggest smile ever and a welcome. The staff was so kind, letting me know the complimentary soy sauce is gluten free. They also throw in some white rice and tons of extra sauces. I got two dishes for $35 and this is giving me tons of left overs. I will for sure be returning and recommending! read more

Love Chef K! I'm vegetarian and I appreciate the variety of the tofu and vegetarian dishes, and they're really good!! This is my go to spot for Chinese food. read more

Tried Chef K Restaurant and ordered the chow mein, Mongolian beef, fish fillet, and fried rice. The chow mein had a nice texture and wasn't too greasy. The Mongolian beef had good flavor--savory with a hint of sweetness--but the meat could've been more tender. The fish fillet was a little dry, which was a bit disappointing. On the bright side, the fried rice was really good--flavorful and cooked just right. Overall, decent portions and good taste in some dishes, but a bit hit-or-miss. I'd still come back to try other items. read more

We ordered cheese wontons, kung pao beef, chicken with vegetables in white sauce, and pork fried noodles. It also came with 2 rice. We didn't even wait that long for our order to get done. The place is limited on seating but that is ok. I would rather eat at home with this delicious food. The pork fried noodles portion is so huge, it can feed a family of 4. I mean it is so delicious that it reminds me of eating in the oldest Chinatown in the world or at a food hall in Singapore. I don't know what it is but there is that one taste that brings back memories like I am in Binondo all over again. Even the receipt is in Chinese. read more

We wanted to give this place a try so we order chow mein, BBQ Pork, Fried Rice, and Kung Pao Chicken. All the food was terrible. They cook with way too much much sauce and oils. There was a lot of grease at the bottom of the pork and noodles were dark. We love good Chinese food and I do not recommend this place. Service was good people are nice but food is terrible. read more

The food was decent. The cream cheese won tons have a good balance of crab inside. The house noodles were disappointing. The beef tasted burnt. I liked the thin slices of chicken and beef with decent size shrimp. The noodles were a little al dente to me and were a bit thin. But that is personal preference. The service was good and the gal at the counter was sweet. It is not a dine in place and was not busy when I arrived. I appreciate that the food is made fresh while you wait. read more

$34 for sweet & sour chicken & house fried rice- LARGE portions. Taste was good but I don't think this is the spot for me. It was not bad but it was not memorable. It was fresh but the experience was also dull when ordering. Pricing was a bit high but there was A LOT of food. I have the half of rice left and this is the 3rd day of eating it. I have found a place that is my go to that is sit down. I would go there instead but this one I do like the location! It has a lot of potential. Customer experience needs to improve, just a little less on pricing or half order options would be nice. Flavor was 8/10. Hope that helps! read more
