In the fast-growing Inland Empire suburb of Menifee, local Chinese restaurants bring stability and flavor to the neighborhood.
From hearty lunch buffets to quick takeout for busy commutes, these kitchens are the main venue for both family gatherings and relaxation after long drives up I-215.
1. Golden Bowl
Golden Bowl has become a core comfort spot in Menifee.
The menu reads like a greatest hits of American-Chinese cuisine—General Tso’s chicken, beef lo mein, crispy egg rolls, orange beef, egg drop and hot & sour soups.
Staff always greet regulars with genuine cheer and remember the “usual” for repeat visitors.
Dine-in is relaxed but quick, and the kitchen makes takeout orders come out hot and packed to last.
2. Great Wall Express
Great Wall Express is a bustling takeout joint, perfect for people coming home after work or grabbing a meal after little league practice.
They’re known for big combo bowls, flavorful fried rice, veggie-heavy dishes, and a kitchen that’s quick on special requests.
Portion sizes are generous and regulars say the spicy kung pao chicken and shrimp are the best in town.
3. Menifee Wok
A staple for nearby college students and young families, Menifee Wok offers wallet-friendly pricing, fast counter service, and lunch specials that turn a quick bite into a full meal.
Customers praise the staff’s flexibility in customizing orders—extra vegetables, brown rice instead of white, or swapping proteins. Every meal is served with a smile and a fortune cookie.
4. China Island
China Island is tucked in a strip mall but boasts a big local following for its bold Szechuan offerings.
The menu offers familiar comforts (chicken broccoli, sweet and sour pork) and more adventurous fare—spicy hot pot, cumin lamb, and fish fragrant eggplant.
The interior is cozy and clean and the portions so generous that most leave with leftovers.
5. Panda Express
Menifee’s Panda is a staple for busy families, commuters, and students zipping through on their way to nearby Sun City or Murrieta.
You’ll always find a fresh batch of orange chicken, fried rice, and broccoli beef waiting—the consistency and speed have made Panda the neighborhood’s go-to for quick satisfaction.
