Some of the best meals happen in places you'd never think to look. Like... inside an office building lobby. Red Pine Restaurant is exactly that kind of spot. Tucked away, low key, almost hiding in plain sight. You walk in expecting corporate coffee and awkward small talk... and instead you find upscale, elegant Chinese food that feels like it belongs in a much flashier zip code. This place is worth the hunt. Inside, it's polished without being stiff. Clean, calm, and quietly confident. The kind of place that doesn't need to shout because it knows exactly what it's doing. We went family style, which is the move here. Portions are generous, built for sharing, built for trying everything, built for making bad decisions in the best way. Started with the wonton soup. The wontons themselves? Excellent. Tender, flavorful, clearly made with care. The broth had depth, real flavor, not just salty filler. Only note... I wish it came out hotter. It showed up just above room temp, which felt like a missed opportunity because the flavor deserved better. Then the pork egg rolls showed up and completely stole the show. Game over. Crispy on the outside, not greasy, packed with flavor. Every bite hit. This wasn't just a good egg roll. This was the best egg roll I've had in Florida. No debate. No hesitation. Crown it. Shrimp shu mai came next and changed the pace in the best way. Light, delicate, elegant. Like the calm after the egg roll storm. Then the mains landed. Beef with sesame and broccoli. Absolute winner. Cooked just right, balanced, rich without being heavy. The kind of dish you keep going back to even when you tell yourself you're full. Chicken lo mein sealed the deal. No gimmicks. Just done right. Noodles had the perfect texture, everything balanced, everything working. Final verdict. Five stars. Easy. Hidden location. Elevated food. One minor temperature hiccup that didn't stand a chance against how good everything else was. Find it. Order too much. Thank me later. read more

This place has been hit or miss for us which is a shame as it could really be a star! During our last visit it took around 10 minutes for our server to come to our table. Pleople got seated all around us (after we sat down) and got drinks, noodles and even ordered before our server made it our to our table. Also, we seem to gravitate back to only few things on their Dim Sum and Dumplings menu like the ribs & soup dumplings. We still find their main menu limiting and missing things especially since we don't eat beef or fried items. We also had their Mu Shu and it was so watery, the pancakes didn't hold up. Too bad they stopped with the specials as we occassionally got a nice fish dish or something different to try. Time to keep hunting for other places to keep in our rotation. Also, I tried their Noodle soup bowl for lunch one day and it states it comes with 4 wonton. Mine only had 3. I messaged them and never heard back. read more

Daniel was so available and such an excellent bar tender. This restaurant is unbelievably beautiful and the food we ordered was scrumptious and exactly as we remembered, but everything came out wrong with a lengthy wait. Our cold noodles had no peanut sauce, our duck wrap came once as scallion wrap and second time came as duck, scallion pizza. We had a hilarious evening with plenty of drinks but actually we decided the chef was playing Duck Duck Goose instead of meal preparation . PHOTO ON FAR LEFT WAS WHAT WE ORIGINALLY ORDERED. We will definitely return because WE SUPPORT LOCAL! Everyone deserves a second chance! read more

I first got to write about Red Pine when it had opened a couple years ago. I remember we were worried that it wouldn't last. Boca likes its steakhouses and pasta joints. Most things more original rarely last. I'm happy to say that when we popped in the other day the place is alive and well. It always has a decent crowd these days. Their fried rice is great, and the dumplings are one of their specialty's. We have tried and enjoyed many of their appetizers as the happy hour is solid. Great bartenders as well, and good news, they stuff their own olives. It makes for an excellent dirty martini. It's an all around great and original spot to stop in. read more

Red Pine in Boca Raton is an absolute gem -- sleek, modern, and effortlessly elegant. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the upscale vibe -- dim lighting, stylish decor, and that subtle buzz of a place that knows it's doing things right. Everything we've tried has ranged from good to downright awesome -- flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. While it's on the pricier side, the quality and presentation reflect it. If you're looking to experience Red Pine without the full splurge, their happy hour is a great way to go -- still all the flavor, with a slightly lighter hit to the wallet. In terms of authenticity, I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10 -- not the most traditional, but definitely elevated and delicious. The drinks are fantastic as well -- balanced, creative, and complement the food perfectly. We love that it's so close to where we live now -- it's quickly become one of our go-to spots for a nice night out. Between the atmosphere, the quality, and the overall experience, you really can't go wrong with Red Pine. read more

Red Pine - The image shows two cocktails on a bar counter. The first cocktail is in a tall glass with a pink hue, garnished with a dried citrus slice and a cherry. The second cocktail is in a martini glass, clear with a lemon wedge as garnish. A menu and additional drinks are visible in the background, with a dark bar surface and a red upholstered bar stool behind. - Chinese Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Who would think that an upscale Chinese restaurant would be hidden on the ground floor of an office building in Boca? Located at one Town Center, Road, this is the old Tyco building and it's in between military Trail and Town Center Mall. There's a big parking garage near the building and there's parking in the back of the building off Military. The inside is decorated beautifully. It's warm and inviting and the bar area is nice with plenty of seating. Met friends at the bar for happy hour. This is one of the better happy hours. Monday - Saturday 3 - 6 and Sunday 3 - 9. Discounted drinks and a nice selection of dumplings and bar bites. We had our share of appetizers. The dumplings were light and filled with bok choy, pork, and chicken. I have to say the chicken was outstanding, it was the sauce that came with it that made them stand out. It was a chili peanut sauce with a little hint of cinnamon. Steamed Bau Buns were tasty. Chinese Sticky Ribs were messy but very, very good. we sampled almost everything on the menu. Those were the standouts and I thought the fried rice was a little bland. All in all the food was good. 3% is added to the check for credit card. It's a great place for happy hour if you can get there before 6 o'clock. I think a nice quiet dinner would be nice there but be prepared to open the wallet. read more

We had an amazing meal here for Christmas Day. Started with a veggie egg roll & a pork egg roll. Then shrimp toast. These were so good. Then we had the roast 1/2 duck 2 ways and chili garlic shrimp.

Hidden in the ground floor of an office building, we had a difficult time finding red pine. There was plenty of parking in front as we found our way in the front door. Buddhas, umbrellas, lanterns and dragons welcomed us. There were lots of booths and even round red leather booths with a Lazy Susan in the middle. We sat at the big bar for happy hour. It was quiet, they were a few couples and many empty seats on a Friday evening. We enjoyed our cocktails and sampling lots of small plates. Everything from the eggrolls, dollar dumplings, Chinese sticky barbecued ribs, and delicious crispy chili lemon shrimp were flavorful and wonderful. There was a 3% credit card surcharge included. Two drinks each and three small plates with tax and tip totaled $100 . There is an advertised $15 lunch special during the week. read more

Surprised that it's taken me this long to find such a great upscale Chinese restaurant in the area. Went last night with my wife and daughter and had an amazing experience. Nice ambiance, gracious service from start to finish. Loved the family style/sharing approach and lots of unique offerings (vs most local Chinese restaurants). Especially appreciated the unique mocktails, followed by Dim Sum and Dumplings. Highly recommend the pork soup dumplings, general tso bao buns, and king pao chicken. Great food, great service and will definitely be back! read more

I like this place. I have been to the bar for happy hour a few times since my first visit, which was a full meal in the dining room. Not much new to report.... a little inconsistent. If you are looking for serious Chinese food, not the best choice. However, if you stick to the apps, particularly the dumplings, you can enjoy yourself, particularly at HH when the prices are reduced. Pork Long Dumplings, Cucumber Salad, Dan Dan Noodles, Soup Dumplings (regular menu), Brussel Sprouts (sauce on side as they drench it otherwise), WonTon Soup (reg menu) are ok to order. Wine by glass only $7 at happy hour. Sarah is a real plus at the bar... she provides excellent, caring service. The ambiance is excellent. BAR RECOMMENDED read more

Went with my daughter for happy hour which was wonderful. Sasha he was our bartender and was very efficient and attentive. We definitely over ordered but well worth it. We ordered the bok choy dumplings, chili lemon shrimp, brussel sprouts, ribs, scallion pancake and the plain fried rice. Everything was delicious. The place is very pretty and super clean. read more

Service was fantastic!! Everything came out quickly and was hot! Ambiance was super cool, a little dark, but overall, unique! My criticisms: the food was heavy and flavors were varying from tasteless to an almost identical Asian style. We ordered the shrimp toast, sea-bass, and lobster fried rice. Two of the 3 were fried which wasn't mentioned by either the waiter or the menu. Why would you batter and fry sea-bass? Did not enjoy, especially for the price tag of $40. The fried rice was fresh and utterly tasteless. The green tea was delicious as were the crispy wontons. Not worth the money. read more

Exceptional Chinese Food definitely on par with my favorites in NYC. I would define it as GOURMET! The Chef has taken extra care with all the dishes. I have literally tried almost everything on the menu. But my favorite and what I literally crave is all of their Fried Rice- every single one is exceptional. The egg rolls are devoooooon! Best I have ever had. Management is outstanding and the staff is all friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Don't let the location detour you from literally the BEST Chinese Food in South Florida! I promise - you will see why this place is a MUST once you try it! read more

After hearing about this place from others we tried it. The good --nice vibe -staff was pleasant and friendly --and most of the food was terrific. Duck is 5 stars -sesame beef 4 stars --egg roll 5 stars but the shrimp toast was a 1-really greasy and the endamane really tasted like an ocean salt by the beach (some may like it).. we would have given a 3:5 star but not a option so graded down because when they asked how the shrimp toast we did say greasy -and then they sad Xx nothing or offered us something... would we come back? Yes --hopefully next time a better rating and that all food up to par. read more

Great experience! Sat at the bar (after happy hour). Drinks were amazing and bartenders attentive. Bao buns were so perfect. Split a main and fried rice. Soooo much food ! And so tasty! Will definitely go back!! read more

I fell in love with Red Pine. My hubby and I have become regulars here for the happy hour; but the menu on the happy hour and the regular menu are both awesome. In addition to the happy hour menu, I think we prefer sitting at the bar because we love the bartenders so much (Sara is my girl). The drinks are on point and the food is always great... love the ribs, all the different types of fried rice, dumplings, lo mien and the duck And what a hidden gem, not by anything (inside an office building where Tyco used to be). read more

I really love this place! I've been here twice now and can't wait to go back for the third and fourth time. It is solid Chinese-American food done right. I have a sensitive stomach and the fact that their food doesn't give me a stomach ache says a lot! The location is a bit weird because it is inside an office building and the energy feels a little weird inside, like the space is confused or something but it's nice inside and the service is good. I do wish their times and specials were more clear because happy hour is only if you sit at the bar and the restaurant doesn't open until like 4pm I think but you can't sit at a table until 5? It's all very confusing but worth it nonetheless. The Brussels sprouts, fried rice and chicken soup dumplings are my favorite items on the menu so far. read more

Excellent ambiance and food front desk a bit inexperienced will certainly revisit worth the price

The food and ambience were very good. The service was good, but a little slow. It was a pleasant experience!

As described in earlier reviews Red Pine is terrific. Great ambiance, great service , and great food. They mix a good drink as well. There were four of us for dinner last night. and once again it was a delight to be sitting at Red Pine. Food as you know us a personal thing so I won't suggest what to eat, but will say " try it, you'll like it" read more

Sunday Happy Hour at the bar 3:00 to 9:00 PM. Arrived at 5:00 no problem seating, party of three. The rest of the restaurant was basically empty to the atmosphere was quiet. There were two servers behind the bar so service was pleasant and efficient. We had 5 drinks and 7 dishes. We left quite full with some take-home. Total tab prior to tip was $102. We enjoyed all our dishes, but note that the bar menu is limited. A very pleasant experience. Sundays are great since Happy hour continues past 6:00 PM. Sophisticated ambiance. We will do this again. read more

The location is interesting. Located on the inside of an office building. Doesn't really say "upscale dining." However, the inside was beautiful. Bathrooms were clean, albeit outside of the restaurant, and the staff were friendly. John was a great waiter. So attentive, made great recommendations and was on top of our drinks. We never had an empty glass! We enjoyed: Shrimp toast Egg roll Ribs Wagyu dumplings Fried rice Cashew chicken Chili shrimp The Avery We also had a few cocktails, Mt Fiji was amazing. Overall the food was all tasty and well prepared. I would recommend everything we got. Having said that, I felt like the fried shrimp and the egg roll could have used more flavor. I found myself craving more salt or soy sauce. I would have rated this a 3.5 but went with 4 because the service was so good. I don't see myself running back any time soon. read more

Very pretty, upscale Chinese restaurant. Inside of lobby of office building. Very good service. Elevated typical Chinese standards...general tzao's chicken, sesame beef, several kinds of dumplings and fried rice, scallion pancakes, Peking duck, etc. We had wagyu beef dumplings (way too much going on here); long dumplings (really good); sesame noodles (odd taste, none of us cared for it); scallion pancakes (tasty); general Tzao's chicken (good quality but very bland); and sesame beef (very good). Overall, it was fine but I wouldn't rush back. read more

I wanted to dine here since their opening, as what I read on-line looked impressive, as to the ambience and the food offerings. I was impressed that the owners, the same group which operates Farmers Table further north on Military, were introducing menu selections gradually, and also did not offer lunch at first (and as since ceased that service, perhaps because of the slow summer months), and now offers a nice happy hour. This review is of the happy hour only, which my husband and I experienced in early June, arriving at 4:15. We were accompanied by three lady friends in their late 70's/early 80's, who absolutely LOVE happy hours, as they can eat and drink a lot, all at greatly reduced prices. We were allowed to sit at a table in the bar area, although at first the hostess told us we had to sit at the bar. I explained that the women who would soon join us would likely fall off the bar seats, once they maneuvered themselves on to them, and perhaps she could ask her manager for permission. Note, the dining room area of the restaurant was empty, as well as all of the tables in the bar area, so I figured my request was reasonable. Apparently the manager agreed with us. Between the five of us, we tried several items - PORK LOIN DUMPLINGS, CRISPY SHRIMP, RIBS, CHICKEN FRIED RICE, ANGRY FRIED RICE, GENERAL TSO CHICKEN, CHICKEN BAO BUN. Each was well prepared, nicely presented, and brought to the table HOT, and not luke warm. I abhor luke warm food, more than poor service. I would re-order any of them, especially the buns, angry fried rice, and pork loin dumplings. The chardonnay was $7 a glass, and the Tanqueray 3oz martini was $9. My friend who loves gin martinis raved about this one. I am embarrassed not to recall the server's name, but did recall that she was professional, good spirited, answered the 30+ questions asked by the ladies, and was abundantly patient while they decided amongst themselves what they wanted. (oy..) Oh, she had a lot on ink on her arms and neck, but that may not distinguish her from others with a similar passion for inked body skin. Service was professional and prompt, items brought as they were ready, with multiple food presenters, so nothing sat around. Check was $127 with tax, before tip, and we had a lot of food and drinks, plus bottled sparkling water for that amount. Will we return? Yes, without the ladies, so we can enjoy the beautiful setting of the dining room, do not have to pig out at happy hours, can eat reasonably off the dinner menu. They can be difficult to locate. Basically, they are in an office building which has Bank of America as major tenant, on the ground floor, with plenty of slef parking. I do not know if they offer valet in season. Put the address in your GPS, and follow directions. Do not recommend you call for directions, which I did at first, as the person who answered the phone had no idea where they were located other than it was Boca, and in an office building. read more

Service- bartenders were nice and friendly. They gave good recommendations and were helpful answering questions. Ambiance- restaurant is located in an office building by the Town Center Mall. It's much smaller than anticipated. My friend and I arrived early and were able to find seats at the bar. Food- food was mediocre. We tried various options on the happy hour menu: chicken dumplings, Brussels sprouts, chicken fried rice, general tso chicken, and for dessert we tried the sponge cake. Brussels sprouts were overcooked and almost burnt. The chicken in both the rice and the general Tso were ok. Overall, the food lacked a lot of flavor. None of the meals were my favorite but it wasn't terrible. Overall, it's a cute place. We didn't have any drinks but they looked really good. Food was ok. I would recommend trying it out for happy hour. Might have been an off day/time when I visited. read more

So the first thing is that this place is WAAAAY overpriced... Two people with delivery as upwards if $140.00 !!! Secondly, the food is edible but not tasty. I am from New York and have had some of the best Chinese anywhere and this place ain't it. The Hot & sour soup was not bad, but the General Tso's and Cashew chicken were both flat and unappetizing. Save your money and go to a better place in Boca. This place is a complete waste of time and money. Oh, and the delivery was an absolute cluster with call after call until nobody at the restaurant even answered the phone.. Bad service, too pricey, and marginal food at best. Won't be back. read more

Definitely the best Chinese food in South Florida. Well executed and not over sauced and sugary.

I came here for happy hour with a friend. Red Pine symbolizes life, longevity and health.We sat at the bar and chatted and chatted. We had a variety of the appetizers from the menu as well as a drink (Titos and club soda with lime); cucumber chili salad (very good), edamame (wok fired)-good; chic chow eggplant salad, shrimp bar bun and crispy chili lemon shrimp. I liked all the dishes - it's definitely a good place to try out and happy hour is the best way. They do offer takeout as well. The place is very pretty and is located in an office building which is a bit strange but you get used to it! The service was good and that was a plus (though when the bill came we had to have them correct it because they added a dish on that we had not ordered). I would go back for happy hour. The prices for a regular meal are a bit too high for me. read more

Really enjoyed my dinner at Red Pine tonight, would never of expected to find such a nice restaurant inside an office building. The service was excellent, and the food was really delicious. We had pork dumplings, which were really good, crispy fried chicken, which is actually a half a chicken fried, was delicious. Fried rice was a little unusual for Chinese but still very good. We shared a dessert, the brownies I probably would not get that again. But everything else was excellent and I look forward to returning. read more

The food was good but the service needs a bit upgrade. We had 2 bottles of wine for our group and we could never find our waitress to get it for us from the ice bucket. We ended up bringing it home. They did clear the plates often but some of the food never came. We had to cancel a couple of dish. The managers though, were very attentive and came by to rectify some of it. read more

I would never go to this restaurant where the manager is rude and kicks you out because you could not stand at the bar area. There was a "Group" meetup and he indicated that they were not allowing people in because you cannot stand at the bar. I wouldn't bring my groups or friends to this Red Pine. Half of us (20+) left & went to El Camino across the street. Just went up to a friend to say hello and he was all over me to leave. Didn't care if we would have sat at a table to eat. Don't give them your business. Zero hospitality. Zero respect. Zero management skills. read more

Red Pine - The nasty rude manager - A man with a beard, wearing a light-colored dress shirt and a plaid tie, is standing indoors in a dimly lit environment. Bright sunlight is shining directly on his face, causing him to squint. The background shows several people seated and engaged in conversation, with some visible faces and clothing, indicating a social gathering or event. - Chinese Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida
