This is for the main pork bowl and I would say it was really delicious. There was a lot of both veggies and pork for the bowl with brown rice. It was just delicious. I would say all the yelp reviews are right then we also got two bowls for kids they were all very customizable. You could add corn you could add greens. You could add mushrooms and overall I would say it's a fairly good price so stop by this place nearby if you're taking your kids to soccer, the owner is really nice. he welcomed us and he also Shared about some of their specials. They have a 2 PM two dollar Boba drink. Also their bowls are gonna be nine dollars for a special period of time. Inside was just nice it wasn't anything too extraordinary. I would say it was average in terms of cleanliness and they do have a bathroom on site. I would say it's worth a visit. read more

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! read more

Monday, 11-11-2024: It was Veterans Day and I had just picked up a pair of shoes that were repaired at a nearby shoe repair store. I was famished and had heard about this place from Yelp reviews. There was a little line when I stepped in. The place was not very big but it was tidy. The young man, who took my order was very friendly & helpful in explaining the different types of sauces. It didn't take long to assemble my tasty bowl. The servings for me were huge that I could only eat part of it since it was filling. It was fresh & filling. I look forward to returning! read more

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!! read more

Wow, just wow!! I recently catered from them for a work event out of town. Derick the owner came with a co-worker and they did an amazing job! This was his 4th catering order but you wouldn't know it. He was professional, friendly and really accommodating for our group with allergies and what we needed. He built a bowl to show us how it's done. We also got Thai tea with boba which was super tasty. The boba is cooked well. For the food itself we got chicken and beef as well as all the veggies. People loved the food and there wasn't much left afterwards! I enjoyed the sauces and just the various flavors in my bowl. Seriously you need to check this place out! Healthy, delicious food is not easy to come by and everything is made from scratch! And Derick is great! If this place were close to me I'd visit often!! read more

Yummy cafe tucked away in a corner! Quality ingredients and generous portions. They also offer specialty drinks. I'd say it's more of a to-go option compared to dine-in. Even though there are tables indoor, it's a small place. Very friendly service! I thought it was really nice that there are no additional charges for more than one topping/veggie combo. I ordered the white rice bowl with tofu and everything on it! Great healthy option. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

Red Pine Cafe - Chicken bowl with cheese corn for extra $1.25! Delicious! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Temecula, California

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

Will come back again for the regular sizes and add everything. But also my 5 yr old son loves all his kimchi, pickles and veggies if he were to get a kids. I'll just pay extra if anything.. but then again might as well get him a regular bowl. Service was above! read more

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.

Red Pine Cafe has a minimalistic menu. Protein options are: chicken, tofu & pork. Beef is more expensive. Veggies are good, pickled cucumbers on the side were also good. Portion was big & I couldn't finish it all. They only have 1 size option it appears. They recently opened and inside still looks like it needs a little bit of touching up - they have a few tables for dining in. Private parking lot. Service was friendly! read more

Red Pine Cafe - Asian Fusion Near Me - Temecula, California

I think this place is fantastic bc its different than the burgers or tacos I'll get in temecula. However I just feel it's so pricey. To add more meat costs so much more and it's not even flavorful. I loved the concept and all the sides and veggies it can come with. I got the pork and veggies. I loved the pork belly but the sauce wasn't strong enough in flavor. I wish that the asian restaurants or food place that open in temecula would just stick to true asian flavors. However, I would order here again and eat here. For the simple fact they are the only ones here doing this type of food here, I'd come here. Beats burgers and taco bell! read more

I had seen their posts on Instagram and happened to be in the area, so I decided to give it a go. The owner made my bowl and also made an effort to have conversation and asked what I was doing for the day. He was so welcoming and really sweet! They cook the meat right in front of you, and all of the topping options were healthy and really fresh. I got a bowl with white rice, chicken, spinach, carrots, mushrooms, gochu sauce (delicious), and seed mix. Each bowl also comes with a complimentary side of pickles and kimchi. Such a nice touch! Couldn't wait to get home to eat, so I finished it in the car because I was so excited to try it. The cafe was also clean and had seats for dining in if you wanted. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends! read more

Red Pine Cafe - Asian Fusion Near Me - Temecula, California

This is the first time in a while I have been thoroughly impressed from start to finish with walking into an establishment, meeting the owner/head chef, going home to enjoy the food and landing in a food coma. This place is fairly new but I am fully confident that they'll blow up because while the concept is simple, the execution is just spot on. The owner Derick was very kind, knowledgeable, could multitask, and had so much passion and pride for what he's doing here. This bowls are very much a simplified "chipotle-style" system but in my opinion, with so much more flavor. We ordered the pork belly bowls with white rice and I had every damn banchan thrown on there. It was also so, so, good and well seasoned. I also give him props for mentioning that their seed mix was a good way to add texture as well as extra protein for vegan customers. I gotta say their kimchi and Taiwanese cucumbers were so good and refreshing, which was perfect with the pork belly. We also go their taro milk tea which was the perfect sweetness and rounded out the meal well. I can see this becoming a go-to spot for us and i'm so excited about it. If you have any doubts or questions, just go for it and let's blow this place up, they deserve it! read more

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! read more

Only been open a little over a month. The Yelp reviews definitely help put them on the map. Located in the same center where Da Coconut used to be. Easy in and out. Small place and you order at the counter. Bowls are $14.50 and beef is $2.50 more. I went with pork. Choice of white or brown rice. I went with white. Pick your veggies, I'm not prejudiced do put all seven in. Then pick your sauce, my choice was the Gochu sauce. A little spicy at first but becomes smoother as you eat. You also get a side dish of Kim chee and pickled cucumbers. Both were delicious. The food is delicious and from what i can see very healthy. Right now it is a one man operation. Very busy guy and friendly. Some areas to eat inside and couple tables outside. Most people get thier food to go. Although I ate outside since it was very pleasant at that time. read more

We visit family in Temecula a few tines a year. We always pick up a couple of bowls from Red Pine but today my niece said Red Pine was closing-sad to hear. Of course we ordered 8 bowls for the family. The food is amazing and prices are more than reasonable. The owner is professional and welcoming, this place is a delight. Wish we had a Red Pine in Rancho Mirage or near. I wish the owner well and much future success. read more

Saw this on Yelp and based on ratings we decided to try it out. SO glad we did. We love supporting local businesses. From the minute we walked in- the owner was super nice and helpful. There is seating both inside and outside. The food was amazing and he has some interesting and delicious drinks in addition to water, soda etc. I had a pomegranate refresher drink and my hubby got the strawberry lavender lemonade. Both were fabulous. We both had chicken bowls with different toppings - all ingredients were fantastic and the chicken was very tasty. We were the only customers in there around 12 noon. Fortunately, by the time we finished and left, about 10 more customers came in. This place needs more customer!! We will definitely return to Red Pine cafe often. read more

Food was cold and took nearly 25 minutes... and we were the only group (5 adults, 2 kids)... Brown rice did not seem fresh. The reviews were outstanding and we needed a place near an event we were at. We did come an hour before closing AND still we expected better food - definitely not worth the cost for sure. There must be better options locally ... read more

Red Pine Cafe - Beef bowl with everything and a Mexican Coke! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Temecula, California

I write this as I finish up left overs from yesterday. My kind of food! A bowl of rice covered with all the toppings, I chose pork as my protein, and topped with shredded egg and gochu sauce. Pickled cucumbers and Kim Chee come with the bowl. Pork were tasty little bites. Next time I want to try the beef (I think I saw it's kalbi beef-yum!). Gochu is a little spicy on the first bite, but simmers down as your taste buds acclimates to it. Adding all the toppings is a must in my opinion. Slightly sweet pickled cucumbers and vegan Kim Chee complete this bowl to make it so delicious! Kim Chee is vegan, meaning no fish sauce added. It's really good! A small dog friendly patio eating area is a nice feature for us. I took off one star because the patio area needs to be cleaned up, which I mentioned to the owner. There are a few tables inside too. Super nice owner. He said he had been swamped all day. He was the only one manning the place and was in catch up mode when we got there. That's a good sign that word is getting out about this new place to eat! I really hope this place does well. We will definitely be back! read more

A Bowl of Heaven at Red Pine Café! Oh, Red Pine Café, where have you been all my life? Oh, that's right, you just opened a couple weeks ago (what took you so long, Derick?!). This place is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise in the world. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I knew I was in for a treat. Let's start with the star of the show: The rice bowls. They are like a symphony of flavors dancing in perfect harmony on my taste buds. Each grain of rice is cooked to perfection, and the proteins are tender, juicy, and packed with mouthwatering goodness. The veggies are so fresh and vibrant, they make me feel like I'm doing something good for my body while indulging in pure deliciousness. But it's not just the ingredients that make Red Pine Café shine--it's the love and care that goes into every dish. You can tell that the team behind the scenes is passionate about what they do. They craft each bowl with precision and attention to detail, resulting in a culinary masterpiece that leaves you craving more. The atmosphere of the café is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a quick lunch or bowl to go. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to recommend the perfect combination of flavors to satisfy your cravings.

Red Pine Café has truly mastered the art of creating a balanced, wholesome, and satisfying meal. It's the kind of place where you can go in feeling hungry and leave feeling nourished, both in body and in spirit. So, if you're looking for a dining experience that combines quality ingredients, creative flavors, and a touch of hand-made magic, look no further than Red Pine Café. Prepare to be blown away by the rice bowls that redefine what a satisfying meal should be. Trust me, once you try it, you'll be hooked--and your taste buds (friends you eat with, get it?) will thank you! And your stomach. I came STARVING and couldn't finish my bowl. I think it's roughly 2 pounds of delicious, comforting (yet healthy), food. Five stars, hands down. We'll definitely be back. Elite Tips: Ask for the cheese corn, get extra Kimchi (HE MAKES IT HIMSELF!), and try the pickles. I'll be buying jars of the Kimchi whenever I'm close. The Gochu sauce is unlike any I've had, too. He doctors it up (Dr. Derick?) to perfection with spice and flavor, not boring like most. Also, chat with him, if he's free. Great stories about his life, cooking and Temecula. read more

For a couple of weeks, I've been keeping an eye on the Red Pine Cafe Instagram page that somehow popped up on my foodie Instagram feed. When I heard of their Grand Opening, I knew I had to check them out! They are located in a small strip mall area off Temecula Parkway. When you pull into the strip mall area, they are to the end on the left. So don't miss it! There is parking to the left of the building next to the restaurant as there aren't spots in the very front. As I immediately entered, I was greeted warmly by the kind owners. To the left wall, you see the instructions on how to construct your bowl to your liking. straight ahead is the counter where you order and pay and to the right is a small seating area for those to dine in-house. That evening, I purchased two bowls as they were having a Grand Opening special only on that day. For the first bowl, I ordered with white rice, beef, corn, carrots, mushrooms, edamame, bean sprouts, spinach, gochu sauce, seed mix, and shredded egg. The second bowl was their grilled chicken with basically the same toppings but without the mushrooms. Both bowls were incredibly tasty. The proteins were juicy and the beef was flavorful with whatever bulgogi marinade was used! Not only tasty but very filling! BTW the gochu sauce is amazing! It's slightly spicy with a hint of sweetness. I am stoked that The Red Pine Cafe opened and wish them nothing but a huge success! If you are in the area, support The Red Pine Cafe and check out their tasty eats! Not only do they have bowls, I believe they do have their various canned drinks and Thai Tea boba. Also, don't forget the pickled cucumber and the homemade kimchi! They ran out of kimchee by the time I got there but knowing how tasty their food is, I'm sure the kimchee is delicious also. Two thumbs up Red Pine Cafe! Hope to come by again soon! read more

Amazing chicken and rice bowls. Super fresh ingredients. Love how big the bowl portions were. Just wish there was more sauce.

Located in an unassuming plaza in Temecula near the 15 freeway. The bowls are pretty reasonably price around $12 and $14 total if beef. Choice of meats are beef, chicken, pork, tofu. You then select from veggie and egg topics or all. Then choice of the sauces any or all. I got gochu sauce. I got very little, next time I'll ask for more. The bowls come with a generous portion of pickled cucumbers and kimchi. The chicken was good but a little burnt edges. read more

We were looking for a Korean food that wasn't all you can eat and we came across this spot. The have a WabaGrill / Chipotle approach where you choose your protein and sides. The food tasted great. You have to pay an additional $2.50 per bowl but it's worth it. It Beef Bugolgi. The reason for the 4 stars is because the portions are very small. I spent $38 for two bowls. It's pretty expensive for what it is. read more
