“I had such a wonderful dining experience here. Everything we ordered arrived looking fresh and artfully arranged on the plates. The shrimp tempura was perfectly crisp and made for a great start to our meal.
It is always a treat to find a spot that pays so much attention to detail. The sushi rolls were beautifully prepared with vibrant ingredients, and the drizzle of sauce added a nice touch of flavor. We left feeling completely satisfied and will definitely be coming back soon.”
“Just found this wonderful restaurant. I'll definitely be coming back. Excellent food at reasonable prices. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Great dining experience.”
“📣 BIG shout-out to Chef Luigi and the amazing team at Nonno’s Ristorante! 🎉🍽️ We celebrated with a large group and had the BEST experience. The food? 🔥 Absolutely delicious. The service?

He coordinated the whole thing through email (yes, email!), cooked the incredible food, and still made sure everything ran smoothly. 👨🍳👏 Whether you’re planning a special celebration or just want a cozy night out, Nonno’s is the place. 💯 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended! #NonnoRistorante #ChefLuigi #5StarExperience #CelebrationDoneRight #SupportLocal”

“What a restaurant! This place has 5 star service.
Prices were very reasonable during weekday lunch and waitstaff accommodated every need. They were willing to refill the sides!
Also, I don’t usually order poke at a sushi restaurant but I didn’t regret taking a chance. The scallop and tuna are fresh and the bowl itself had abundant and well-seasoned toppings including seaweed, avocado, imitation crab, and fluffy rice. It came with a side of miso, and they provided complimentary ice cream for dessert. What more can you ask for?”
“Outstanding food service and professionalism. The food was AWESOME. Passed through Murietta and surprised one of my favorite families after so many years. Peace and much love and success.”

“My Mom and I regularly frequent the restaurant in Murrieta. We so look forward to seeing the amazing staff. Every time we go it feels like we are at a party. We especially love waiter Lee. He is a credit to Sizzler. He is always upbeat, fun and attentive. He makes celebrating a birthday or anniversary a really good time, and we love to sing with him to celebrate the other customers. We also want to give a shout out to Mercedes who is also one of our favorites. Then there's manager Guillermo. He is so pleasant and always present on the dining room floor. He makes us feel like family along with manager John. They are always checking in to make sure we have everything we need. The next area of excellence is the food. Always fresh, bountiful and delicious. They keep the food buffet and the salad bar immaculately clean and full. The bus staff is always keeping the tables clean once customers have left, you never see a table with dirty dishes for very long. In fact the entire restaurant is always clean including the floors. That location is really setting the standard of how all restaurant visits should be.”

“First time customers. We tried the pulled pork slider, beef brisket slider, 12oz beef brisket, chicken sandwich, cole slaw, potato salad, beans and fries. All so good! The BBQ sauce was delicious! I can't decide which of the meats I like more. The chicken sandwich is a breast meat and has a nice smoked flavor. Next I'll have to try the mac n cheese, it was sold out. The best bbq I've had in a long time! 😋”
“Historically, The Hat in Alhambra, CA, has been our go-to spot since the 90’s. It was a nice surprise to see one in Murrieta! My wife and I decided to go for our always favorite Pastrami Chili Fries, a Chili Cheeseburger and our daughter had her favorite Cheeseburger. The place is roomier, and spotless with a welcoming vibe thanks to the Night Crew that offered a superb service. Managers, please keep this in mind. You have an excellent team there and we will return for more The Hat!”
“Applebee’s has really changed over the years! Food is always GREAT! Our waitress, Kathryn was AMAZING! She brought out another pop without me even asking for a refill! Brought out the condiments BEFORE the meal! Place is always spotless and just a great place to come and enjoy a meal! The manager, Ms.C (the manager) is always friendly and is always there to answer any questions! And one more thing, the prices are VERY reasonable! So glad we reunited ourselves with Applebee’s!”
“This one is for Renee! She's a beast, came in to grab some tallow fries and ketchup during lunch rush and she's behind the bar one minute, then helping customers at the register the next. No customer gets left behind when she's on the clock. Always a pleasure being served by her
Thanks to the cooks too for the fries. They were cooked tonperfection, crispy how I LIKE.”

The sushi is AMAZING!! and the price is perfect!! We will go back again and again!! Oh, we even brought in our own cake to sing 🤗”
“My favorite Thai spot! Melissa is passionate about her craft and it shows with the flavors and fresh ingredients she places in each of her dishes. She always adds new items to the menu and not one has been a disappointment. I strongly suggest that everyone give your tastbuds a treat by trying Goi Express.”

“My son wanted mint chip (grasshopper pie) for his Birthday, after trying all the usual places we’ve purchased before, they no longer make them?! But saw a post that Aerostat was now doing cakes/pies, I knew it’d be the best ever, it truly was& they have THE BEST flavors! 100% recommend anything they make!”
“Awesome little spot in a quiet business area. The staff are so sweet and so far it's the only place in CA that I've found Kolaches at! (If you know, you know) Their drinks are super good, I had a dirty chai and a black pearl soda I believe as well as the breakfast tacos and it was all very tasty and refreshing!
I'm looking forward to coming back to this place again very soon!”
“I’m visiting from Oklahoma, and went with my boyfriends family. It was so good I said that had to go back before I left California to return home. I had peanut sauce chicken and orange chicken (split the two dishes between him and me). The picture taken is from the orange chicken, which I returned just to have that again. The Thai iced tea with cream is so delicious too! The orange chicken is crispy and made fresh to order making it the best I’ve ever had. This place is a treasure in the area, and worth going to as orange chicken is usually something even picky eaters will like.”
“everything is delish!!! they were super busy with large tables and still handled everything in a timely matter.”

“One of the only places we eat in the whole Temecula Valley. Absolutely love the mac salad, its so unique but the best Hawaiian-style ive ever had. Bbq Chicken marinade is perfect, not too sweet or salty, but so flavorful. Its quick, great prices, love the huge menu!”
“We’re from out of town and happened to locate this restaurant via Google. My father is very picky when it comes to his Chinese food, so I was hoping Jade China wouldn’t disappoint. We were very much satisfied with the ambiance, the service, and especially the food. It was cooked perfectly, tasted wonderfully, and was priced reasonably. We had ordered the Mu Shu Pork and the Tofu with vegetables. We would definitely return if and when we’re in the area and would highly recommend!”
“Bear’s Nest Catering (The Cove's Catering Division) delivered an incredible farm-to-table lunch experience for TEDxTemecula DISRUPT 2025 that our attendees are still talking about. Jill, Chef Dan, and their entire team exceeded expectations with a thoughtfully curated menu that perfectly aligned with our DISRUPT theme. The food was delicious, the service was seamless, and their team was warm, professional, and attentive to our guests. The overwhelmingly positive feedback speaks for itself. We are truly grateful for their partnership and for elevating the overall experience of our event.”
“Visiting from Ohio and so glad we found this place to watch the Buckeye game. Walking distance from our AirBnB, and opened at 9am for Saturday games. Had a great time and really enjoyed ourselves. Service was superb and everything was reasonable. Not crowded that early (college football doesn’t seem that big out here lol) and they put the game on whichever tv we wanted. Plenty of TVs to watch games. Even had a breakfast menu and everything we had was great. Will definitely be back on our next visit! Great sports bar - if you’re looking for somewhere to watch a game, this is the place to go!”

“Beautiful presentations and super delicious dishes such as awesome sushi combination plates, a huge sushi salad with more fish varieties than veggies 🥗 🍣 🍱 and a special birthday surprise which is my new favorite birthday cake with mouth watering green apple covered with caramels and chocolate and nuts all sliced up into thin pieces forming a caterpillar 🐛 topped with whipped cream and cherries 🍒 !”

“First and foremost, I truly appreciate the service I received at Hey Sugar. She was kind, knowledgeable, and I felt welcomed as I stepped through the front door. I had the delicious cake jar, and I can’t wait to try my cheesecake. The venue was cute, petite, and vibrant. Thank you for a wonderful experience! I pray your business continues to thrive. ❤️”

“This place is amazing. They accomodated the adjustment I made with my order with no problem. Very easy going and the place looks relaxing. Plenty of milk teas and other things on the menu. Jessie is top notch when it comes to customer service. The milk tea taste delicious. Highly recommended!! Will definitely come back!”
“The food is great and the staff is friendly and fun. I am from New York and lived in New Jersey. I take "deli" very seriously and it's really hard to get a good Italian Sub in So Cal. Beside Jersey Mike's I also support Campini's deli in Temecula, yet I digress. My sandwich is the number 13 and I go Mikes Way.”
“This family owned business is a gem. Friendly and polite on all levels. The food hits the right spot.... I will return....”
“Amazing service, amazing place. Second time coming and there is nothing to complain about. Food is amazing amazing, service is amazing Gabriel was so charming and nothing was too much trouble. The bottomless brunch was the best value I have ever had.”
“Very good sushi 🍣, with a big menue and an all you can eat option, if you're looking to eat 5+ rolls in a sitting.
Not the largest establishment ,good for professional dining experience.”

“Honeycutt Farms is a breath taking experience, from the amazing bacon pancakes I've had 3 days in a row without hesitation to the immaculate service and the polite waitresses. This place has been an amazing experience and I totally recommend if you are up for an amazing breakfast or lunch served by the most kind waitresses you have ever met. I have spent my last handful of mornings here and it has been an outstanding experience.”

“We had a great experience here!! The food was absolutely delicious!!! The place was Clean, spacious and friendly. We ordered the German and french crepes (pictured), 2 Thai teas and a Japanese crepe. All 3 crepes were mouth watering good!! The lemon cream in the German crepe was a burst of sunshine! So good. My husband really enjoyed the Boba, he said it was the BEST he's ever had!.. So thoughtful of the man for giving us a small ice cream for my daughter 💗.. It's little gestures like that that make a mom & pop, Like Crepe and Cream stand out from other restaurants. Thank you so much for bringing some Yummy to this part of town!! We look forward to returning very very soon.😋”
“Today is World Down Syndrome Day. We had 50+ people who planned on attending an outdoor event, however the rain had different plans for us. Round Table accommodated our families last minute, and they did such a phenomenal job! The food was delicious, but the service was out of this world! They made each and every one of us feel welcomed. It was wonderful!! Huge shout out to Jorge and the incredible team at Round Table. Thank you for saving the day!!!”
“This is my favorite place for tacos! Only leaving this review because I ordered 4/17 a protein bowl to go. I asked for double meat and for it to be asada. It only came with chicken. Just wanted to leave it here for next time since I call and it goes straight to busy.”
“We went on Saturday for the first time, the service was great and the cookies were delicious. 😀We will be back soon!”

“Everything about this tea shop is perfect.
Customer Service: I love the owners of the shop, they are always so sweet and open to your drink customizations. Great sense of humor too!
Tea: They have a wide selection of drinks and each one I've gotten has been a 10/10. You can really taste the quality in the tea and it reminds me of the really good tea drinks back home in San Jose.
Out of all the tea places within a 20 miles radius, this has been my favorite one to go to!”
“If you're looking for a Chinese food place that's authentic and really good this is the place to go the service was great the young lady made sure we had plenty especially for the price we spent 80 bucks for four of us and we still have food for a whole another day”
“I really like this place. Staff are very cool and everyone has a great time. I work at home all day on AI for medical resesrch, I gotta get out even if just for one beer - Joannies is perfect. Food isn’t really their business but a guy sets up outside and bbqs awesome food so it is available.”

“I'd like to thank everyone at Chili's for offering free entrées on Veterans Day. We appreciate the honor businesses like this show us. It speaks volumes to me when businesses offer free or discounted products to Veterans regardless of any financial loss especially during times of poor economic conditions. I believe I can speak on the behalf of my Veteran brothers and sisters when I say: "Thank you, it was and always will be our honor to serve you our fellow Americans."”

“My husband and I are absolutely blown away by the hospitality at Hush Coffee! We accidentally walked in today not realizing they are closed on Sundays. Even though they weren't open, Jason was incredibly welcoming and kindly offered to make us some drip coffee on the house. While we were inside, I noticed the sweetest lady making fresh, homemade bagels—which happens to be my absolute favorite! Knowing all of their baked goods are made from scratch and seed oil free makes this place even more special. We were truly touched by their hard work and friendliness. Thank you so much!!! May God continue to bless you and your business.”
“As someone who can be very particular about food and whose palate has been influenced by the kind of attention to detail you’d expect from a Michelin-level kitchen. I’ll admit I went into Valley Pizza with a pretty critical eye. My wife will tell you I can be a little picky when it comes to what I eat.
But sometimes, a restaurant earns your respect for reasons that go beyond what’s on the plate.
The wings were a little on the salty side for my personal taste, and I’m always going to be honest about that. What impressed me far more, however, was the customer service and the way Valley Pizza handled the situation.
I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and his wife, and they were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. They made us feel like guests rather than just customers. I actually tried to keep things pretty low-key, although my wife has a habit of giving people a little heads-up about me and my food opinions, which I’m pretty sure can change the atmosphere in the room.
But here’s the thing: great restaurants aren’t defined by never making a mistake. They’re defined by what they do when something isn’t quite right.
Valley Pizza absolutely got that part right.
They were thoughtful, attentive, and even offered to remake the order. I honestly didn’t feel that was necessary because the way they treated us after the fact went a long way. That kind of hospitality says a lot about the people behind a restaurant.
And then there’s the price. Valley Pizza is very reasonably priced and family-friendly, which is exactly what a neighborhood restaurant should be. In a community like Murrieta, having a place where families can enjoy good food without feeling like they’re breaking the bank is a big deal.
So, yes, I’m going to be picky about the wings. That’s what food critics do. But I’m also going to recognize exceptional hospitality when I experience it and Valley Pizza delivered that in a big way.
I highly recommend Valley Pizza and look forward to returning. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on them and looking forward to featuring them in a future column.
Sometimes the food gets you through the door.
The way you’re treated is what makes you want to come back.
Well done, Valley Pizza!!”
“This was a great spot! They had so many options and their specialty swirls were so good! I got the campfire, the rainbow road, and the chocolate chaos. My favorite was the rainbow road. Ask for extra toppings blended in the ice cream! Makes it even better. The staff were super nice and explained the menu and all of the options since we’ve never been. They were very polite and friendly. It made the experience even better. Definitely come check this place out!”
“The best pizza I’ve ever had! Hot honey pepperoni with ricotta and basil! Awesome staff too! The banana cheesecake and chocolate take were to die for! Highly recommend you give them a try!”
“My family and I went to this Wingstop location for the first time and we absolutely loved it! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The store was clean and tidy. We ordered bone in and boneless wings and fries and everything was delicious! The chocolate brownie at the end was my favorite. Tanny is the general manager there and we were fortunate enough to have her help us. She and her staff provided exceptional service to us as well as other customers and door dashers during our stay. Tanny, you and your team are doing an amazing job. Keep up the good work...Can't wait to go again! I took a photo and sent to all my friends to check out🤗”
“Their donuts and pizza are the best!!! Most of the protein donuts I’ve tried are not tasty but this shop
makes protein goodies easy and enjoyable to eat. I've tried their meals and they are delicious. The meats were really tasty and which makes healthy eating easy. Thanks for helping people like me have a convenient option to meet my macros. Loyal customer here!”
