Chicken rice bowl
Faye A.

I've been seeing Red Pine Cafe all over FB and wanted to give it a try. It's off Temecula Parkway & Kevin Place, so the location is a bit tucked away, but we found it. The inside is small and has 5 tables to eat at. There's additional seating outside too. I would describe the food here to be like a Korean version of a Chipotle bowl. You pick your base, protein, veggies, and sauce. We got 2 bowls both with brown rice, 1 with chicken, the other with beef... all veggies, and all sauces. Each bowl comes with a side of kimchi and pickled cucumbers. It was pretty good!! I love that the sesame seeds were mixed with sunflower seeds. The veggies in it were good as well as the sauces they used. The chicken had a smoky taste to it like it was grilled over open flame. The beef was marinated in what tasted like Korean bulgogi sauce. Overall, we were very satisfied with our bowls. Definitely would come back to this place. What was intriguing to me was that on FB, the owner talked about his story, that after graduating from Great Oak HS, he opened this restaurant. That's actually pretty impressive!!

Chicken bowl!  It had a nice grilled Smokey taste,  you can tell it was grilled and it tasted amazing.

We went to this restaurant last night after driving for hours. I found the red Pine Café on yelp and it had great reviews so we thought we would try it. We are also so happy that we tried it. The best part about the restaurant was the owner. He was so nice to us. We are really happy went into this business and we love supporting mom and pop shops. We will for sure be back. The funniest thing is my 11-year-old son said this is so good. I can taste the anime in my chicken bowl. He's so funny. Thank you for being here and thank you for having such amazing food.

Recently tried this spot and loved it! You build your own bowl with protein, veggies and sauce. We don't have many Korean options in Temecula, so this was really refreshing! The owner is fantastic- friendly, inquisitive and kept us entertained while we waited for our food. Heads up - they love anime! We instantly clicked when he showed us his cool manga wall above the grills. If you're into anime, he's definitely down to talk about it. The food was healthy, served in large portions and was a very fair price. Definitely stopping by again!

Definitely recommend this place. Food is always on point and taste really good and service is always friendly!

Delicious brown sugar milk drinks and a fruity tea.

A cute little spot that hit the spot! We are from the homeland/North Menifee area, but found ourselves in Temecula for an appointment. After Appt, we are starving and found this little gem. It's a small establishment but with a deliciously tasty menu. We got the protein bowl which you get to style with as many condiments and feelings as you want. I'm not in the area often, but if I find myself here, I would purposely make a trip to get another protein bowl and these delicious brown sugar milk teas that were amazing! I definitely recommend the spot and would encourage others to try it.

3 delicious bowls

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.

Tofu bowl
Christina C.

I finally got to try Red Pine today and was not disappointed. It was busy, I was about to leave, but a nice woman encouraged me to wait because she said it was definitely worth the wait and she drives from Wildomar just to come here. I succumbed, ordered the tofu bowl and was glad I stayed! The food is delicious and made to order. Service is expeditious and friendly. Nice and clean little storefront with seating. I will be back!

Chicken bowl with cheese corn for extra $1.25! Delicious!

This place needs to be on YOUR LIST to try! This place needs way more customers coming in and trying it, it's similar to a chipotle but taste a million times better if you like Asian flavors and nice protein bowls with veggies of your choice, you get to choose white/brown rice, protein choice, veggies choice, and top it off with some Asian flavored sauces! Put it on your list, make your perfect protein bowl! Small business, owned and managed by amazing employees that are friendly and provide great service and great food!

Came here for our second visit, been craving this place for months, but we rarely come out this far. Hubby got the beef bowl and I tried the pork bowl, both fully loaded with yummy veggies, toppings and sauces. The side of kimchi and pickled cucumbers are bomb, the cukes are definitely my favorite. Tried the Vietnamese coffee today, so good, thick, creamy and flavorful. We also had the honor of meeting Derrick, he let us sample a side of mixed greens with this amazing dressing he had just made, so ono! The portions are very generous, each bowl can easily be split into 2-3 meals, it's worth every penny!

Chicken bowl with veggies.
Joelle C.

The food was good but not great. Chicken was dry and portion was lacking for the price paid. I asked for all vegetables but they didn't put bean sprouts. Didn't dig the location and ambiance. This is the kind of food I like but I feel that they could do better. I was in the area so I tried their food especially of all the hype about it on Facebook. This place is out of the way for me since I really don't drive to South Temecula. 14.89 for the bowl. If you want beef $2.50 extra.

Bowl- beef and chicken

We were on our way for a day of wine tasting and fun with friends. This is a great spot to grab a bite before a day in Temecula wine country. Great lunch bowls with your choice of meat and Asian toppings and sauces. The service is great and the guys can definitely hook you up with the bowls of your choosing. Love it!

KeithNic K.

Absolutely delicious food! Super healthy I don't eat meat so I do get the tofu and egg bowl with the spicy sauce. The kimchi is delicious also. My boyfriend got the Vietnamese tea and it was to die for. Most importantly the owners are absolute sweethearts they're so friendly and kind and it really feels good to support a local business. Definitely go check them out!

First time here I came in for a bowl and a boba drink! The food was delicious and great environment!

Beef bowl with everything and a Mexican Coke!

Met up for lunch for a belated birthday lunch celebration for our brother. It was our first time…read moremeeting up for the New Year (January), and birthday boy chose Mongol House. It was a little hard to find the restaurant, especially since the sign is not right over the entrance, but just next to it where the small market is. Look for the Winchester Center sign next to the market. Since we arrived before it opened on a Sunday, we browsed in the market until it was tine to eat. We had a reservation for 6 of us, so they seated us at the one round table near the front. There is another longer table next to it on the left side where there's a colorful mural. The rest of the tables are booths. The restaurant is spacious and roomy and very clean. You can order items from the menu or build your own hot pot which is AYCE. Everyone in our party chose the hot pot. We were each brought a small blue pot that contained the sterno to heat up the soup and the broth of our choice inside. We also placed our meat order with our server. We went to the back-left corner to grab our veggies, and some other things to add to our hot pot. Our server came by often to take more meat orders, clear empty plates, and check if we needed more broth or if our sterno needed more fuel. Our server was delightfully cheerful and friendly. She was helpful and answered all of our questions, especially when we had to choose our broths. (Forgive me for forgetting your name!) I highly recommend calling ahead to make a reservation if you have a larger party. Accessibility notes: most of the tables are padded booths. If you can transfer and slide, you should be okay. Otherwise, see if you can sit at a table that has chairs on the left side. The restaurant is spacious enough to park your mobility aid (or stroller for babies) near you. The restrooms are located in the back-left corner, 2 single stall restrooms, one for men and one for women. There is enough room for someone to enter with their mobility aid and a helper companion. You can enter the restaurant without climbing a step, but I don't recall where the handicap accessible parking was since we used a regular parking space and I climbed up the curb. No one from the family is local, but my brother-in-law chose this restaurant because it's somewhere where we can meet in the middle. We all loved it, and are adding it to our rotation when we need to come together for a celebration.

This place is absolutely amazing!!!…read more I had the Smoked Pho and it was some of the best I ever had. The brisket in the smoked pho could be its own entree. Smoked to perfection, full of flavor and tender as can be. The broth was very flavorful and I didn't need any thing extra. Wifey had the Vermicelli Salad with Shrimp and she loved it. My niece had the yellow curry and she loved it. The server was really nice just busy, but she was very friendly. Small place with about 12 tables so it can get busy real fast but there is cool music playing in the background to how the time pass. I promise you that you will not be disappointed!!

Call it a pho phase or a full-blown pho binge. We've been making more intentional pho stops lately,…read moreparticularly at places that emphasize cleaner broths due to my husband's MSG sensitivity. Lua Eatery feels like a hidden gem and a special find. What makes their bowl stand out is that the herbs and condiments are already incorporated into the soup, creating a cohesive flavor experience from the first sip. The broth itself is quite tasty with a subtle smoky BBQ note that complements the traditional savory base beautifully. Despite being rich and deeply satisfying, it's not greasy or oily, which makes it feel indulgent yet balanced. Definitely a place we'll be returning to. And as as a bonus, the Dana Point Strand Beach is close by and a great spot to enjoy a post-lunch walk!

This was the ONLY restaurant left that we have not tried at PECHANGA and to be honest we were not…read moretoo THRILLED to try it bc we had very LOW expectations for a SUSHI RESTAURANT inside a CASINO. I mean, how good could it possibly be? SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From the moment you were greeted & welcomed with a BIG SMILE by the lovely hostess to the moment the extremely welcoming and friendly waiter BRUCE took your order. I was blown away at the EXCELLENT SERVICE. It felt the most sincere it of all the other restaurants. There was no slight expression of moodiness or tiredness. VERY PROFESSIONAL. LOBSTER ROLL: 10/10 STAR OF THE SHOW It's actually made with REAL LOBSTER and not Crawfish or worst imitation crab meat. This is one of the only sushi places that actually makes it with LOBSTER and the best part is they also fry it!!! YES YES & YES!!! YAKI TORI COMBO: 9/10 Tastes Great! We loved the Beef & asparagus but, the shrimp or prawn was a bit tricky to get off the skewer! MISO SOUP: 9/10 Was it worth $10 My husband says HELL NO but, for me it was the perfect balance of sodium level. Most places either make it too salty or bland. 1 point off because it could have used more umami flavors from more miso and bonito flakes... AMBIANCE: It was quite beautiful inside with Cool Vivid theme colors. Almost like you were eating under the ocean kind of vibe. Great place for a date night or group gathering. They also have a full bar!! I shouldn't have underestimated this place. It was great! ROCK ON UMI SUSHI & OYSTER BAR!

I prefer my cocktail sauce a little more spicy but that's just a preference. The ambiance is tranquil and soothing. I like the dimmed lighting. It can be very romantic for some.

On our journey to Palm Springs my team left the food choices to me since I'm picky. Lol. We showed up on a Wednesday night (note that they do not open Monday and Tuesday), around 4:40 PM. There was already a long line of individuals waiting to get in. There were about 15 people ahead of us. At opening, we were immediately sat down into the second dining room to the right of the restaurant. It gives a different vibe than the main room with its red bench seating and lantern ceiling. Although the benches were high, and the tables were a little low, we managed. Of course, we tried the complementary congee. Which I love, but my colleagues were not a big fan of. We ordered the calamari and the crispy beef noodle. We also ordered the shrimp and mango spring roll, the softshell crab and green papaya salad, and the pork belly lettuce wraps. The shining stars, for my colleagues were the calamari and crispy beef noodle. Followed by the shrimp and mango spring rolls and the softshell crab. The three of us did not enjoy the pork belly at all even though it came recommended. We actually only ate 2 pieces. The food overall was good although we wish we didn't get the pork or at least stuck to our goal of four main dishes. The waitress recommended we get one more and that's when we added the pork. Next time we will go with our gut instinct. One thing that was disappointing on this visit was that when we ordered drinks, one of them came out in a can. We were under the assumption it was a draft pour. For $14 it should have been noted that it is canned. The way that it is written into the menu no one would assume otherwise.

I had a very disappointing experience at Roost and Pig. From the moment we sat down, the service…read morewas incredibly slow and inattentive, which was surprising given that the restaurant was not busy. There were several staff members gathered near the front chatting while we waited far too long just to be acknowledged. It took forever for someone to take our order, and when the food finally arrived, one of my friend's entrées was completely forgotten. When we brought it up, the waitress responded rudely rather than apologetically. I also asked if someone could assist in Spanish, and although I was told sure, no one came back for about 20 minutes only to say they did not have anyone available. The lack of communication and follow through was frustrating and unnecessary. The rest of the experience did not improve. It took an excessive amount of time to receive our food and even longer to get the check, and no one checked on us during the entire hour and a half we were there. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the poor service. The beef dish was overcooked, the rest of the food was average at best, and even the eggrolls were disappointing. Given the reputation this place seems to have, I was genuinely surprised. None of us plan to return, and I would not recommend it to others, not just because of the food, but because the overall service experience was unacceptable.
