China Chef Temecula Reviews
if you live in temecula and looking for a great Chinese food, this is the place. located in promenade mall complex. food was amazing, roast duck and tofu with brown sauce was amazing. definitely have to try.
Food was superb. Definitely recommend to dine in to really enjoy the experience. The peking duck sa juicy and crispy, the mapo tofu was a surprise! Did not expect to like it.. the beef stew was also a must..
Authentic and delicious Cantonese food. Wife was born in Guangzhou and really love the food. We order takeout about once a week. An added benefit, they deliver to San Diego on certain days of the week!!! On holidays, they also make special dishes for parties. Our favorites: salt and pepper chicken wings (crispy and yummy), shrimp chow mein, beef chow fun, tender steamed chicken, BBQ pork, roast duck, west lake soup, fresh steamed fish, and black pepper beef.
DINE-IN IS OPEN!!! I am surprised our favorite CRYSTAL CHICKEN (cold ginger chicken) was SOLD OUT!!! China Chef knows this is our signature item every time we stop by. We will need to call ahead next time to make sure one order is reserved for us, hahaha (I should have been "selfish" by not reviewing the delicious CHICKEN on Yelp, lol). Although we did MISS our regular item, China Chef did not fail to deliver our other favorites - the DUCK (roast or Peking are equally scrumptuous), the GARLIC SPICY PORKCHOP, and the WONTON SOUP. All are properly cooked to perfection. We savored the meal and doggy-bagged the leftovers so we can continue to enjoy them this work week. Service is great - they remember their customers and their preferences. Great listeners. Very attentive. Say "hi" to Ken in the kitchen before you leave. If you are new to authentic Chinese cuisine, ask for recommendations. They will definitely give you a pleasing palate experience. If you are familiar, you can ask for off-menu items - if they have the ingredients they can definitely cook it for you. In the meantime, enjoy the current menu items - NOT GREASY at all.
Kind and prompt staff, and good food. Very nice when it's quiet.
Very kind and fast service and the food is amazing! Portions are nice and big so you can take home leftovers!

Wonderfully delicious. Everything we ordered was so good. We had spicy honey chicken ❤️ vegetable chicken (fresh and crispy. Not overcooked)🤤 and egg drop soup. ❤️ Staff attentive and friendly. Highly recommend! I usually come here after surgeries. The food is healthier and light enough for my stomach to handle.
Hi everyone so I came across this place in Temecula and they have the best customer service and my experience was amazing here. The food is absolutely fantastic and authentic. If you are looking for authentic food and love fresh food from scratch this is the place to go to. No more Panda. This place will definitely be your new go to
The food is excellent. Its authentic, affordable, and delicious. I ordered the roast duck and ginger steam fish. These are my go to dishes. The food is cooked fresh and so flavorful. The portions are plentiful for a second serving for the next day. Ken the chef is affable and always greet you with a smile. I highly recommend this hidden gem near the mall.
The best salt and pepper wings! I always order their wings for my parties, and they're always a hit. I bought two large trays and ran out out so quick. Next time I need to buy three large trays lol
Everything is great, atmosphere is low because of my parents it has no correlation
Desperately seeking wide, thick. Crisped edge rice noodles! Got a variety of dishes today (12/01/25) starting with beef chow fun. The noodles were plentiful, chewy and delicious. Be sure to ask for the noodles "more cooked" to get maximum yum. Ordered salt & pepper pork chops & salt & pepper shrimp with NO JALAPENOS. This is a big deal as some of us are sadly allergic. These were prepared as requested. Super lightly fried and incredibly delicious. Tender pork, freshly prepared shrimp. Tired of soggy buffets? Eat here! Returned for a dine-in experience on 01/06/2026. Consistent quality, delicious food & great service.

Decent place in the area for some Chinese seafood. We ordered the sweet & sour chicken, beef lo mien , salt and pepper shrimp and shrimp fried rice. Every dish was well prepared however, the rice was a little dry. Wouldn't mind coming back for more.
I had came here last night for dinner and ordered the Beef and Broccoli, and also got the Peppered Pork with Cabbage (I forgot the exact name for it) and it was very filling (we got the dinner for 2 and ate 95% of it). The egg rolls were fresh, hot, and crispy (one of the best egg rolls ever I've had). The rice was good and of course, the Beef and Broccoli was on point and the waitress was friendly and respectful. Overall it was a great dinner and I had a good time. Cheers China Chef.
I ordered 2 lunch specials, 1 was honey walnut shrimp and the other was salt and pepper fish filet for around $10 each. Each entrée for dine in comes with an egg roll and a bowl of soup; if you order it to go then the soup is extra. They had hot and sour soup and egg drop soup so I ordered both. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the egg drop soup since I ate it prior to taking pictures. The food was great however I took off a star due to the service. Initially the guy seemed fine but as time went on I started to notice somethings. There was a white family that walked in who are apparently regulars and they ordered the usual but when it came time to paying the received fortune cookies whereas I did not. I also got a few phone calls during lunch so I stayed and talked but when it came time to filling the Mexican family's water he had no problem whereas I got none even though my table was on his way back to the kitchen. Lastly when I paid my bill I had asked for boxes and rather than bring the boxes with my card he just returned the card so I was forced to ask again. My biggest thing is just treat people how you would want to be treated...

Extremely slow service with only three tables . Food had no taste. Took a bite out of the king Pao chicken and couldn’t eat the rest . Soup was alright. Food was too bland . I hate to give this kind of review but this place has got to really work a little harder. We want to keep supporting businesses. One of the other tables were not happy at all as it took forever for their soup and egg rolls . I wish them the best and hope they take into account our concerns. Also please refill the salt. We had to ask for chop sticks too.

Ordered Chicken Lo Mein and it was so sticky and not good. We just ended up throwing it away. And the egg drop soup was very bland. Definitely will not be ordering here again.

Ordered food for dinner and everything arrived cold. Hopefully we do not get sick! Disappointing! I tasted different dishes and everything was cold.. Waste of money since we did not eat for fear of getting food poisoning!
Bought half a roast duck. It was old, spoiled. I asked him if it was fresh owner said yes. Well I had a gut feel that it cud be bad…but roast duck is one of my favorite. I’m old and I have a lot of experience. I wish I had kept and brought it back, but just decided to write this to protect future customers. Food poisoning will happen if they are doing this ….
So this place was a "lets try a different Chinese place" we were close by shopping. Granted it was about 8pm Saturday night. Nobody there when we pulled up and my wife mentioned it. Food was stable at best as I sit here and eat the noodles and fried rice next morning. Soggy honey walnut shrimp and orange chicken were trash. Idk if it was because it was closer to closing or if we got someone's leftovers or both. Sorry chef you need to do better. I won't be back. White rice good. Fried rice good. Chowmeign bad..soggy walnut shrimp and o chicken..horrible my son just said as I read this out loud. We actually all wondered secretly if we'd get sick. We didnt. So thats good. We ate at home and I didnt call to complain. I dont leave bad reviews either. Good luck! Oh yeah it was 75 bucks too!!!! Argggg!!!

Definitely not what I had expected. I ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings, extra crispy and egg fried rice. The chicken was crispy but 5 of the 8 wings were raw and the others were undercooked. Not much flavor either. The rice was also bland. I am so disappointed and also pregnant so I’m hoping I don’t get sick.
