This is by far my favorite restaurant. Delicious, healthy and fresh. I will be back again

Been coming to Red Pine Cafe for a few months and every time the food is delicious and the service is very friendly. The first time I tried their rice bowl, I was surprised at how tasty it was. I mean a rice bowl is a rice bowl, but their gochu sauce adds such nice flavor. I have been back several times, tried different combinations and have never been disappointed. The owner, Derrick, is very welcoming and makes you feel like a friend visiting. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a filling, delicious and nice value meal. read more

I ordered a do-it-yourself rice, tofu, and veggies bowl, and it was great! The food was fresh, nutritious (including brown rice, nice firm grilled tofu, and a nice assortment of vegetables. The portions were generous, and the value very good. Will definitely order from them again! read more

Whoa ! This place is incredible, I'm so glad I found it here on Yelp. What a hidden gem, everything tasted fresh and the flavors were rich. Apparently they have been open for a while and I've driven by multiple times without noticing. The staff were nice and the service was prompt. If you're hungry come try it out, I promise it's worth it. read more

Man this place is straight fire!!! I found this place by accident but I'm super glad I did. I've gone back like 3 days in a row. And the owner is super dope. Chill dude and very friendly and welcoming. Food is great and this is definitely a small business deserving of lots of support. read more

Positive energy & welcoming atmosphere to start!!! Love it!!! Derek & Johnathan greeted us & guided us through the ordering with laughter & joy. An absolute pleasure to meet these 2 young men who love what they do. The food was healthy, delicious. The homemade tea was the best I ever had. I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you Derek read more

Stopped by while my brother was getting a haircut at Barber's Canvas and soooo glad I did! Their food is so fresh and filling! My favorite part of the meal is definitely the pickled cucumber and kimchi though. Literally the best kimchi I've ever had! The service was super friendly and warm as well! I went back a second time and was surprised that they remembered me! Definitely will be going back soon. read more

Red Pine Cafe - Beef, white rice, corn/carrots/edamame + avocado special, gochu sauce and shredded egg - Asian Fusion Near Me - Temecula, California

Absolutely love RedPine! Their customer service is top notch and I love how customizable their bowls are! My daughter loves the chicken and I usually settle on the tofu! My daughter occasionally walks across the street to get a bite before or after practice. On one occasion I placed an order for pick up and when she got there to pay with her digital wallet the payment system crashed. She said she didn't have any cash on her and panicked not knowing what to do. The owner told her not to worry about it and to enjoy her bowl! She told me what happened and I told her I'd swing by after work and pay. Couldn't thank him enough for making sure my daughter had a good meal before practice and he wasn't expecting anything in return except our thanks. Just want the whole community to know how amazing RedPine is but most importantly the integrity and professionalism of its owner and his staff. read more

This place is amazing! I love their bowls, especially with the beef. The service is amazing! I love the decor a lot.

After searching for so long I have finally found the restaurant to call 'HOME'. Red Pine Cafe has made an impression on me and a restaurant I want to frequent as much as possible! Let me break down the why I adore this restaurant: 1.) The Service: As we all know, service is one of THE MOST important aspects to a business and Red Pine Cafe absolutely nails it! The employees and the Owner make you feel like family from the moment you enter those doors, to the moment you walk out content and happy! 2.) Attitude: I could put this with 1.) but I think it's more important to note, I CANNOT STOP SMILING IN HERE! Everyone is always so happy and I find myself having very wonderful conversations that leave me really excited for the next point! 3.) Food: Food is something that is an END ALL BE ALL for me and I LOOOOOVE THE FOOD!!! With more than over a dozen+ options and combinations, every visit can add something new to your bowl, or maybe you just stick with Ol' Reliable and fall in love all over again with that first bite. The portions are incredible and I am left so satisfied, I start to think about my very next visit. 4.) Vegan: If you are vegan or wish not to consume meat in any way shape or form, you are IN LUCK! Red Pine Cafe offers so many different veggie options and my favorite protein that brings a smile to my face: TOFU. 5.) Ambiance: The music, wonderful, I honestly wonder if the Owner was secretly a DJ, because the music just feels so nice as you enjoy each and every single bite! The music is always at a very nice volume. Fin.) In Conclusion: Red Pine Cafe is an experience I will never forget, from my first bite, first sip of their teas which are SPECTACULAR!!! Give this amazing restaurant a shot and I guarantee you'll walk out feeling happy and grateful that Temecula is home to the ONE AND ONLY: "Red Pine Cafe"! read more

Red Pine Cafe - Loaded up pork bowl with kimchi and pickles - Asian Fusion Near Me - Temecula, California

Food is authentic and balanced. Simple food, good flavors, friendly service... authentic tasty Asian rice bowls. Definitely get the cucumber pickled and kimchi with your bowl. read more

My first visit today and the owner Derrick was so super friendly. He explained the menu to me. The restaurant was cozy and cute. I ordered the bowl with the beef. It was amazing the taste of the meat was delicious and everything that's included in the mushrooms corn etc. I would definitely recommend this establishment. read more

Great food, great vibes, and the people who work here are super cool, there's amazing service too

Great food, and a great vibe. As for the food: Think Chipotle style ordering, but the meat is cooked fresh and the sides are more nutritious. The resulting bowl doesn't have as much of a flavor punch, but does taste healthier, so a give and take. I loved the mushroom and edamame availability, and the red pepper paste gives the dish some great heat. My whole family also absolutely loved the kimchi, and my wife really liked the asian pickles. The owner happened to be there when we went, and he was very nice to talk to. Luckily the place wasn't crowded, otherwise I would have been distracting him while he was cooking. Seems like a great guy! As for the atmosphere of the place... Honestly, it wasn't great. Not a glitzy date spot for sure, and a little dated even for modern fast food, but mom-and-pop-ish looking. I went in knowing what the place looked like before, so maybe that's why I felt like the ambiance hasn't changed much. It's still a pretty recent startup though, not even a year old, so hopefully if the place becomes a big success, it will get a little face-lift. One thing I'd like to see would be the use of paper bowls vs plastic to go along with the healthier feel of the place. That location seems to have struggled over the years, but hopefully this place will become a staple I can eat at for many years to come! I'm totally rooting it on! read more

I absolutely love coming to this place! The food is fresh and it's always a pleasure talking with the owner Derick

Unfortunately, this is a very standard straight of the mill restaurant: the restaurant itself was clean, and the owner (I believe) was very nice. It has a very simple menu, rice, with a chose of meat, and some vegetables. And when I say some vegetables, it's a very minimal selection, one of them being mushrooms. And then top it off with some sauce. The food itself was just okay. I wouldn't say it was anything to rave about, it was just okay. Needed some work on flavoring. It was interesting too to have hot rice and meat and cold vegetables. read more

My kids, and I stopped today for lunch. We are all vegan, and the bowls were FANTASTIC!!!!! Absolutely loved it! My daughter said the kimchi (also vegan) is some of the best ever!!! The owner is super nice too! read more

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

First time here, ordered tofu and chicken bowl with all the veggies that are offered. Prices of bowl are worth it for the amount of food you receive. The bowls are packed with their food, it's amazing! Homemade kimchi is absolutely delicious and vegan! For drinks we ordered the Vietnamese coffee and Thai tea, both which were amazing. My favorite veggie was the mushrooms. 10/10. Friendly staff and owner was sweet and talked with us for a bit. Definitely a spot to recommend. Ambience was relaxing with a good selection of music playing. Did not get a pic of before but here's one of us eating lol. read more

Red Pine Cafe - Tofu and chicken with Vietnamese coffee added sea salt cream. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Temecula, California

Food is so good. The sides of kimchi and pickles are homemade and so, so good. Small place. Great for takeout. My new go-to place for a rice bowl. Simple menu. You can buy the pickles and kimchi in 16 and 32 oz jars. read more

Very good customer service the food takes a bit to come out because it's made on the spot but it's worth it I got the beef bowl it was fire. I'm looking forward to try the chicken bowl next time. read more

The staff was very friendly, but the food was just ordinary, not very flavorful. I don't like leaving negative reviews especially for a business just starting out but possible customers spending money do have a right to know! Maybe it will be better as they mature in the food business, I would give them another try a few months later. read more

First time visiting here and it has such a cute atmosphere. Christian was helping us out with our order and he was super sweet, we felt very welcomed. The food was great, and their kimchi, especially, is perfect!! We'll definitely be back. Come support this business :) read more

We just had dinner this evening for the first time at red pine café. My wife and I were very impressed with the quality of flavors of the food. Derek is the owner and main chef there. He has a very engaging personality and at only 23 years old, we were very impressed at how he's managing his restaurant. He's lived locally in Temecula his whole life, is a Great Oak high school grad, so it's nice supporting a locally grown young man and his business. It's a very simple process to order there. You choose white or brown rice, your choice of protein, different vegetables, and different seasonings. I got brown rice, chicken, and told Derek to put everything into the bowl. It comes with his homemade kimchi and pickled cucumbers. Everything was absolutely delicious and very healthy. I consider myself a kimchi connoisseur and Derek's homemade kimchi is some of the best I've ever had. Even better than my mother-in-law's homemade kimchi, I hope she doesn't see this review. The bowls are $13.50, which I thought was a very reasonable price. It was a very healthy quantity of food as well. He's been open only four months, and I hope word-of-mouth spreads to keep him in business. If you like Korean bibimbap, you'll definitely love the food at red Pine Café. read more

Red Pine Cafe - I got the chicken bowl and my wife got the tofu bowl and we asked him to put everything on it and it was absolutely delicious that way. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Temecula, California

See all

5 chicken bowls w/ all veggies 1 Thai tea w/ boba = $90 1 strawberry lavender w/ boba Price to proportion ratio is not ideal. Not even for a quick lunch. Probably better to make it at home. Or go get Poki Boba was decent read more

This place is one of the best places I've had lunch at in a long time! Food is super clean and flavorful. Done right bravo!!!

Red Pine Cafe was tasty although the chicken was very dry. Kimchee was amazing and the owner takes a lot of pride in his business

I've tried a lot of the local "healthy" options and was less than impressed, but WOW!!!!! This place is so, so good! The rice is perfect, chicken was great, everything was fantastic. The gochu sauce!! OMG!! I'm sorry for all the exclamation points but I'm really excited to have found healthy eating that doesn't make me feel like I'm depriving myself. And for a treat with dinner, that Coke in the bottle just hits different. LOVE this place and hope it never changes, always stays amazing, fresh, and most importantly--survives the tough restaurant climate that has been Temecula. Truly made our evening ordering from here. My daughter and I loved it and will definitely be ordering again...often! read more

This place is really cool there is a lot of good things I love the orange treat the people are cool all and all come here now

Needed to order takeout someplace close to the hospital as hubby was having some tests done. Saw Red Pine Cafe on Yelp and gave it a try. Ordered online, paid online, drove the 10 minutes to get there and the order was ready. Great service! And the rice bowl was really good. This is my go-to place if I'm down in the south of town. read more
