Chef K (Murrieta) — Local services in Murrieta

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...

When we arrived we were greeted and told to sign in on the list. Sat about 20 minutes before we were about to leave and one of the frequent customers said it would be worth it to stay, decided to ask how long it would be and then we were seated right away. Once sat service was really good and everything came out fairly quickly. Ordered the shanghai dumplings, siu mai, egg rolls, chicken with string beans and house fried rice. Everything food wise was very underwhelming and bland. Siu mai had a weird smell and taste, like the seafood wasnt stored properly, the egg tolls and standard frozen egg rolls with mush in the middle. chicken with string beans had no sauce whatsoever and the soup dumplings had no flavor very bland soup inside. Had an upset stomach since ive left here. Unsure if this was just an off day but will try again another time to see if it was...

Had the craving for good Chinese food and having lived in the Murrieta area I'm familiar with this location. I did find out that the ownership had changed since my last visit but that did not stop me from ordering what I came for, Beef with Snow Peas. This dish was amazing, beef was very tender and a great amount for a lunch dish. In addition to snow peas this dish also contained carrots and water chestnuts. I had with fried rice, which was basic, but had great flavor and texture I was looking for. Lunch dishes come with your choice of 3 appetizers, I had egg roll. You also have a choice from 2 soups, and I chose the egg flower. This soup had a very vibrant yellow color that made it different from anything else I've seen before. Nice. Living out of the area won't stop me from coming back to Chef K's. I highly...
