The Flame Broiler

Good but the meat was a little dry.

This is a rating for the location. Not the food. In general, the food is amazing: healthy, affordable, delicious!
I have had a lot of trouble in the past with the employees messing up my order (usually giving me white rice instead of brown rice). The worst part is that when you get the food ‘to go’ you can’t check the rice because it is packed tight underneath the meat and veggies. So you just have to hope for the best.
So we walked in and the place smelled AWFUL, like sewage. We were going to eat there but the smell was so bad we had to get it to go. My husband almost lost his appetite but we were starving so we still purchased dinner.
Would not come to this location anymore. We had a coupon so it was a little more worth it but otherwise we will find another location.

SO DISGUSTED. I am sitting outside of this restaurant and watching the two cashiers eat their food at the counter. One of the cashier (Asian boy) blew his nose and then decided to put his hand up his shirt!
I’ve been here before, but will never be back.
I will be talking to the manager, Ashley, who supposedly just left.

I don’t go here often, but I have always had a pleasant experience whenever I’ve gone in. Today, I took my daughter there, as I was famished while driving to Target, down the street. She had a half and half, and I had a veggie bowl… both over rice. They’re always clean, smelled clean, too, and the food was prepared fast and they brought it to us as we waited. I thought that was nice, since most Flame Broilers usually just call you from the counter to retrieve your food.

I love the fact that I was in and out during my lunch today. It took exactly 3 minutes from paying to receiving my order. love it!

I use to eat at the F.B. in Fountain Valley 2 – 3 times a week as it was close to my work. I found another local restaurant that offered healthy and tasty meals. The new place gave a better value as well. On a dinner break, I was a little undecided on what I wanted. I drove by F.B. and thought I would give it another try. When I received my meal, I couldn’t believe how small the portions had become. I went back to the counter to express my concern and was told the company is now using wider bowls. I accepted that explanation. If it is true, then F.B. should have all their pictured signs of the bowls redone, as the food given barely made over the mid-​height of the bowl. (It seemed to be a bit mis leading). I should probably eat less so it’s not the biggest thing Lol! I just wanted to let others who are looking for larger portions (or at least what is pictured), not to expect it.

Flame Broiler is a staple of any community in which a franchise exists. I frequent a Flame Broiler in Cypress but occasionally visit this Fountain Valley location. It is a solid meal for anyone desiring delicious but healthy protein with the option of steamed vegetables and rice (brown or white). This location is owned and run by the owner who is a nice Korean lady.

Meh… poor quality food. Rice was as strange. Would have been better with a nice jasmine rice. The chicken tasted old. I Definitely prefer Waba Grille on Beach and Ellis .I won’t be back.

Everything was great! Except the rice was hard… Its difficult to let that slide since it is a bowl of about 50% rice. Perhaps its time for a new rice cooker.

Good service and food quality, but Christian talk radio? Cmon wtf. That’s not appropriate

Yesterday was the eighth time I have been to this place. Each time I ordered white meat chicken with veggies. I think the first time I was there, the white chicken was ACTUALLY flame broiled and cut in strips AFTER it’s cooked with the flame broiled flavor and no sauce and I liked it that way!
Lately, the cooking is not consistent… they have been cutting the white chicken in small pieces and they don’t taste like the white chicken anymore, more like chicken thigh and they taste like they were sauteed/​stir-​fried instead of Flame broiled! I paid for white chicken and I got chicken thigh that was stir — fried instead of flame-​broiled and the meat does not taste like white chicken either! I will not come back after this review as I have received the 5 bowls out of 8 bowls cooked this way and sometimes the meat are undercooked (you may not see them under cooked because the guys hide the color with the sauce and I don’t like this cooking-​method!!!). Will not come back again after this!!!

I now have food poisoning from the beef bowl I had last night!!!
BEWARE!!! I did use the sauce in the plastic container… probably not a smart idea so it may have been the sauce? The Owner finally called me 3 days later
to say that NO ONE EVER GOT SICK FROM HER RESTAURANT!!! Obviously she doesn’t read Unilocal and no one ever called her or? She then said there was nothing she could do and she hung up.

My. Mom got food poisoning here it suck don’t ever eat the food it’s bad the beef is no good don’t ever go to this location

Always on time, never rushed, cooked just right! The staff treats me like family. Never can go wrong with the lunch special!

The service today was awful. It felt like the guy didn’t want to be working and instantly disliked everyone (only two people) that ordered food.
The man in front of my asked for sauce since the dispenser was empty and he told him just to use the bottles (with a terrible attitude).
Nothing looked like it was stocked either
This is normally this location is really good. At least the cook seemed happy

This is the best Flame Broiler in the area as far as the food is concerned. My wife loves that they have kimchi available.
When the food is ready if you are at a table, they bring it to you.
As far as the ambiance… Eh. The paint and tables are getting old. The seats aren’t horrible but they certainly encourage you to eat fast and leave. So I can’t give 5 stars.
The food, service and cleanliness are what counts, so they still get 4 stars.

I am a regular at this location for years. Ever since 2005 when I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, this is one of the restaurants I slowly branched out to because of their healthy menue.
Their chicken bowl combo with Magic Sauce, that comes with a drink, all for $ 5 and change, is the bomb! It’s my favorite. The service is super! The owner, Ashley, knows me my name and is always ebullient! The cashier, Andrew seems like a fine young lad. Tonight, I saw my old friend Omar! He worked there a long time ago, and has returned. He’s a cool dude! This Flame Broiler location never disappoints!

If I could give this place negative stars I would.
I ordered the chicken bowl and now I have food poisoning!!!
Stay away from this flame broiler!

I like The Flame Broiler in the fact that you can pretty much customize your own bowl. I also like the fact that the meals come in different sizes. The calories are pretty much stated right on the menu for you but like I said you can add or subtract what exactly it is you want going in your bowl yourself. I like the half chicken, half veggie bowl with the brown rice but I usually ask for more veggies than chicken.
I actually prefer this location a little bit better than the Westminster location only because it just seems to be a little bit more roomy at this location, the Westminster location seems a little bit crammed. The service here is also excellent and very helpful and friendly. This location also seems to be very neat and clean.
Also The Flame Broiler is a great deal, I mean seriously I think the most expensive item on the menu is maybe $ 8.00. I also like the fact that I’m in control of how much sauce I choose to put on my chicken and veggies. The chicken could be a little more tender but overall its pretty good. The veggies have always been fresh and you get a choice of white or brown rice. The veggies you can choose from are cabbage, broccoli, carrots and green onions. You can also purchase combo plates here with the Angus rib. All in all if your looking for convenient and healthier than your average fast food then I would recommend this place. I’ll definitely come back to this location and the plus here is parking is very convenient.

Chicken veggie bowl with brown rice and magic sauce with hot sauce.
TFB often has coupons circulating as well, so keep your eyes peeled!
