Reviews - Jin Xiu Chef K
Reviews summary
Nestled in Temecula, this long-running Chinese restaurant pairs polished, dimly lit décor with reliably flavorful, freshly prepared dishes — including gluten‑free options and adjustable spice levels. Service is generally warm, attentive and efficient, and portions can be generous, making it a favorite for groups and takeout. Weekend crowds are common and parking nearby is plentiful though curbside spots are limited. Some patrons report slow, inconsistent dim sum service and sparse, overpriced dim-sum portions. Overall it’s a solid, stylish option for Chinese cuisine in the valley with a few dim sum caveats.

My husband doesn't like to take me to Chinese often but I suck up to his love for BBQ so he gave in. Beautiful restaurant, just gorgeous inside. We were waited on fast and the food came out piping hot and very tasty. When your finished eating they pack up your leftovers and off you go. Incredible service, we will go back. Thank you!!

When we were there it was buffet style. The food was very fresh for a buffet. The price was very reasonable for the variety and quality of Chinese food. The decor was neat and clean. I would recommend this restaurant.
This is some of the best Chinese food I've ever tasted. Dietary note: gluten-free.
I didn't dine in, but opted for takeout. The prices are definitely a bit higher than Panda Express. I ordered the Crispy Tangerine Chicken for $14.99, which felt pricey at first. However, it comes with a generous side of rice. Once I received my order, I realized the portions were quite large. If you don't have a big appetite, the chicken alone could easily serve two people. Add in the side of white rice, and it becomes a complete meal. If you're ordering just for yourself, you'll likely have leftovers. I highly recommend it! Even though they only have 10 stars, I decided to take the chance—and I'm glad I did! The food was delicious, and I would definitely return. I've been craving good Chinese food, and this hit the spot!
Excelente comida
We went by accident in this restaurant but turn into very good experience. The food was very tasty, fresh made just for your order and great and friendly service.

The restaurant has a beautifully decorated interior that is very comfortable. The staff was polite and attentive, with one server speaking Mandarin and another speaking Cantonese, which was a nice touch. We only ordered two relatively simple dishes: walnut shrimp and lemon chicken, but both were well-prepared, nicely presented, and delicious. It's a great place, and I highly recommend it!
I visited this restaurant for the first time today and was initially hesitant due to my dietary restrictions. However, they were incredibly accommodating and assured me that I'd still find something for lunch. They mentioned that about 80% of their menu can be made gluten-free. I ended up enjoying a delicious meal of Sweet and Sour Chicken, along with steamed rice and vegetables. I didn't experience any reactions, and I felt perfectly fine afterward—definitely a big win for me! The staff was very knowledgeable about gluten-containing ingredients and helped me choose suitable options. I will definitely be returning!
I visited this restaurant for lunch at my mom's request to celebrate Mother's Day before our gambling outing. It turned out to be a fantastic choice! The food is perfect for sharing. We ordered veggie egg rolls, vegetable soft noodles (chow mein), honey chicken (for my mom), and a tofu dish (for me). Everything was hot, fresh, and full of flavor! My mom noted that the chicken tasted particularly fresh. We definitely ordered too much food, but it should make for delicious leftovers. I would highly recommend this place!

We came in yesterday with my sister to have lunch and I have to say WOW!! you walk in and its very peaceful the lights are dimmed to perfection, the ambiance is very lovely. At first I thought ok its going to be like any other restaurant but the variety of food they have is great. And the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. We started off with some cream cheese wonton and to say they were the BEST I have ever ate is not enough because they were THE BEST. The filling the crunchy texture I mean an explosion of deliciousness!! We also had the pork dumplings and again WOW!! I mean AMAZING. we also ordered the egg drop soup and yes once AGAIN WOW! the flavor was just perfect!!. Onto our main course for lunch we had the House Special Fried Rice and the Mandarin chicken. Everything was AMAZING!! The rice was cooked perfectly and the chicken had this amazing crunch to it. I can say it was the best food I have ate. We will definitely be going back again to try more items on the menu. The staff was really nice, very attentive to you even served your soup for you. If your in the area go in and check them out they are amazing!!
