The overall experience at Red Pine was really nice. The place is a little tucked away so it is easy to miss. The service was excellent- the owner Derick is really caring and friendly. We got three bowls - 1 each chicken, pork and steak. Chicken was not bad but nothing to right home about, the pork was good but the steak was awesome- soft and flavorful. The kimchi and sweet pickle the give were really nice too. The two sauces- gochu and soy glaze- together were a bit too sweet for my palette though others in the group enjoyed it. It is feel good food- both from an experience perspective and also for being reasonably healthy. Will be back!

Delicious food! Located in the Temecula Creek Village Shopping Center, the Red Pine Cafe is a convenient and healthy dining option. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We visited on a Friday night just before closing and were the only ones there when we arrived. We had two dogs with us so we chose to sit outside. The build your bowl process was as simple as 1,2,3 and 4. At the counter, you pick your base, protein, veggies and toppings. Our food was ready quickly, in good portion and delicious! They used quality ingredients that were fresh and tasty. Service was friendly and helpful. Pricing was reasonable. We will definitely visit again.

I finally decided to give this place a shot earlier in the week because I didn't feel like making dinner. I've been hearing all the buzz on Temecula talk on Facebook and figured this would be a perfect opportunity to try something new. I'm so glad I did. I walked in and was greeted with smiles. I did up getting a beef bowl with brown rice and all the fixings. While that was cooking I had the pleasure of meeting the owner who is super friendly. I'm a chatter box and can talk and that's exactly what I did. lol anyways, I raced home to see what the hype was about. I put some of the sauce that I got and gave everything a mixing and dug in. From the first to last bite everything was excellent. Tasty, fresh, quick, excellent customer service. What more can you ask for? I'm sold on this place. I will definitely be back again. This is a must try place.

I was really excited to support a young entrepreneur cooking healthy and tasty eats... So when I saw his posts I wanted the check it out. He seemed like a good person. I took my wife and 4 year old and we all loved it, he definitely created a fun experience, great healthy food, fun boba drinks even chatted up my son which was nice considering the little guy was being a bit impatient. I will be coming back for sure. The beef was tasty. Wife and son approved too. Thanks to the whole team there and happy we have this joint in town!

We came in for the first time after seeing weekly posts on Facebook. It's a small restaurant, hidden around a corner in a pretty deserted center. We were greeted upon entry, the only customers at lunch time, but that was it. I would have appreciated a better interaction as it was our first time in this establishment which I said out loud a couple times to my husband. A simple "Do you have any questions?" Or "Can I recommend anything to you?" would have gone a long way. Instead we studied the menu in silence and figured out what we wanted on our own. The cleanliness and organization of the prep area was pretty questionable to me, my chicken was cut on a cutting board that was dirty and had food already on it also concerned me. Portions were plentiful and bowl was pretty big which justified the $15 price tag. I also added on the pickled cucumbers and kimchi which didn't look like much, but was actually decent. Flavors and sauces were yummy and everything meshed well together. We would be back again, but only if in the area as this place is far and out of the way for us.

Finally was able to make it to this hidden gem, and I'm so glad I did. Bowls are fully customizable, I ordered no rice, chicken for my protein, all veggies ( edamame, carrots, corn, bean sprouts, mushrooms, spinach). Simple,fresh and quick healthy option for my lunch. Wonderful taste. I added the cucumbers and kimchi both tasted excellent and made a nice addition to my bowl. Highly recommend . The owner was friendly and service was quick. The inside had some tables and there was an outside seating area as well. I will definitely come back and try the drinks. Overall, great place with delicious food

Wanted to try this place out, we've been on the hunt to support local business more. We got the steak bowl with the gochu sauce! We did order 3rd party delivery so we were not able to speak to the restaurant at all, however the order was seamless and items were correct! Excellent portion sizes, very great price! The steak was very tender and flavorful. Gochu sauce has some nice spice, I think could've been a touch spicer. The homemade pickles are a MUST! They reminded me of my childhood! The only two comments I would have are 1) the rice was a little mushy , not sure if was just because of turn around time ( about 20) so I'll wait till we eat in... And then I know it would be fine if ordering inside the restaurant but descriptions of items would be nice on the website... I.e. cheese corn lol is it just corn with cheese who knows lol. All in all loved it, can't wait to go back!
