I come here in Mother’s Day’s.They are so busy,but service still quick and nice.They sent chocolate after we done the meal because the Mother’s Day.How sweet! The food is amazing,I love the Chongqing crispy chicken !!! Everyone should try it!

Amazing food and service. We are always impressed with the attention to detail, the freshness of all dishes and their green tea is fantastic! I can’t get enough of this place. We are here every weekend. We have officially become regulars and they staff in this restaurant is always kind, friendly and attentive. Their cheese won ton is what I call the real deal! Golden crisp and cheesy! Ye there is actually a pocket of cheese on these! One of our favorite dishes is the Hong Kong crispy noodles. Enough for about 4 people and lots of veggies along with the 3 meats. Another favorite is their Yang Chow fried rice. Simply delicious. The best i have had in this area. Last but not least, their Sizzling Three Flavor Rice soup. OMG!! Tasting is believing. Plenty of parking and always busy on the weekends. The most i have waited is about 30 min. Thank you to the team at Chef K for the amazing food! Look no further. This is way better than Mexicali style Chinese food and better than any PF Changs.

The food is so good. Was amazing to find a a good Chinese restaurant nearby . The chongquing chicken and the yang chao was out of the world. Please do come here. Definitely will be back for more

Orange chicken was fantastic! The crunchy beef was good, but not as stellar as the chicken but that's my preference. Rice was on point, service was solid and atmosphere is great. Lovely high end chinese restaurant to go to with great prices.

I was skeptical about this place, but when I walked in I was caught off guard by the ambience and interior design of the place which gave a relaxing atmosphere. For the food, it’s not like your typical take out place, because you can tell it was cooked with the intentions of the person enjoying the flavors and not just covered with sweet sauce or grease. I was super impressed by the quality and affordable prices for their dishes. Their lunch special ranges from 11.99-14.99 and was filling. Overall, I plan to come back here because the staff were super welcoming and the food was incredible. I can’t wait to come back and try everything on their menu! *bonus points: the staff packs your food for you if you plan to take your leftovers home!

Came to San Diego for the 4th of July holiday and was looking for good restaurants—ended up trying this place and it was honestly amazing! Food highlights: the chicken wings with golden garlic were packed with flavor, and the Chongqing spicy crispy chicken was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. If I’m visit in Temecula next time，I’ll be coming again.

We went here for lunch for the first time. We were pleasantly surprised at how flavorful the food is. The spicy pepper beef was very tender as well. The staff were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Latest Update: Nov 8, 2025 After my 3rd attempt to order food to go, the restaurant has fixed packaging problem. I don’t have to eat melting foam with food anymore. I am surprised that the restaurant listen to customers and improved quickly. I changed from 3 stars to 5. I will continue to order food here, much appreciated. Original previous review—— Most of the food here is good. The 3 stars is mean to be on the staff knowledge of food preparation. Showing in the photo - hot food on foam box, the foam box melt and stick into the food. We don’t want to eat foam plastic!!!! We will not order the onion cake or fried food here ever again until the packaging is changed for hot food compatible. Their website to place an to go order also showing an 18% auto tip. First time ordered we didn’t know and didn’t understand why the food ended up being so much more expensive so be aware of that also. The good side is food is delicious with decent portion of food and variety of meats at the same price. But we don’t want to eat plastic. Other place use different packaging, or put another paper underneath to absorb the heat. Update after reply from
chef K—— We appreciated the response and try ordering food again, however the foam box is still being used. The noodle is still in a foam box. We eat a little bit but hesitate to continue. We just don’t feel safe, especially last time the bottom of the box also melt and mixed with the noodles. We had to throw it away again. Other dishes are in different packaging so we feel safer to eat. Not sure if we will continue to order to go. We don’t have the time to sit down and eat at the restaurant.
