    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.

    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!

    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!!

    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!!

    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.

    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!

    BEEF KUNG PAO !!! I thought the chicken kung Pao was delicious but the beef was AMAZING!!! The beef was so tender and large pieces combined with just the right amount of veg and spice. Fast, friendly service- as usual. Small dining area but clean and enjoyable

Hidden in an outdoor mall it just looks like a glass front suite, but enter the doors and the interior is beautiful and clean with comfy upholstered booths and chairs. The young server greeted us with a strong Asian accent and took us to our seats immediately. We were the only customers in the room which made me a little nervous, but is was 2pm on a Thursday after all. We were presented with a hardbound colorful book of their offerings... pretty cool. We ordered and were quickly presented with: Spicy Pepper Beef: A medium spice level with a savory dark soy sauce, bathing ultra tender beef slices, married with thin sliced jalapeño and diced red and green bell peppers. Unbelievably delicious. Walnut Honey Shrimp: Mega large butterflied prawns quickly fried with walnuts and sweet glaze, crispy and crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Tangerine Chicken: Large delicate and tender chicken breast pieces deep fried in a fluffy batter and glazed with a perfectly sweet and tart tangerine sauce. Our meal came with individual bowls of perfectly cooked jasmine rice. Enough food to feed 3 hungry adults and still have leftovers. $63 Why 5 stars? Without a doubt, the best, cleanest tasting Chinese dishes I have ever experienced. More to come from this place I'm sure. If you are anywhere near Temecula, get off the freeway and reward yourself.
