Stopped in for an early lunch before a movie and had fried pork egg rolls since they were not willing to substitutethe springroll from tofu for another protein, entrees were the drunken noodle with soft tofu and beef and the combo Thai basil fried rice, and 2 cups of water, after almost $50 for 2 bowls, all the add ons added up! It was good with my flat rice noodles being perfectly al dente. The eggrolls were a bit over fried but we didn't say anything since we were on a timeframe. Staff lacked personality and the lady taking the orders seemed to lack communication, we decided to just roll with it. read more

The food was good quality but the stir fry bowl had about 3oz of chicken. For $15, that's ridiculous.

Delicious food great price will go again service was self serve Options were endless

used to really love the tom kah soup until they CHANGED the recipe. gotta change it back asap.

Pretty mid Chinese food to be honest, but it fit the bill when I was in the neighborhood and UberEats offered me B1G1. Wouldn't be rushing back here otherwise. read more

I have a new favorite place!! I had never been in though I love close and Lipita was so kind and patiently guided me in the right direction to order the chicken curry with spring veggies and it was delicious!! I ordered with brown rice though you have choices of noodles. I will be back!! read more

This is the second time I ordered a noodle dish from them and asked for it to not be spicy and they made it spicy. Last time we asked for one dish to be very spicy and separate dish to be non spicy and they made both dishes equally spicy . This time I asked for the noodle dish to not be spicy and the chicken dish to be mild and they made the noodles super spicy while the chicken wasn't spicy at all. Either way one whole dish ends up not being eaten and it's annoying AF. Cherry on top are the lovely stomach cramps that follow post my attempt to eat some of it. Flavor is also pretty bland. I think heat is the only flavor they put on the noodles. Peace out Fire Bowl, I'm done eating your food for good. read more

Please stop putting sweet and sour on the nuggets - put the sauce on the side like you have for 20 years. Food is fine but buyer beware. You have to put in your own order in a kiosk, get your own drink & refills and then when you're done eating you have to clear your own dishes. All of this and they still have the audacity to ask for a 18%, 20% or 25% tip when you check out. Do better Fire Bowl. read more

I have been enjoying Singapore Noodles in Hong Kong, Singapore, Brisbane, and Shanghai for many years. The Fire Bowl version, Vermacelli Singapore, is a creditable version. I am never disappointed. read more

Have been coming here regularly for years. I don't know what has changed but the past few months the food has been basically inedible. Everything tastes like old grease. Seems like they are cutting costs by getting lower quality ingredients. Won't come back again, they lost a loyal customer. read more

Food was AMAZING , rene and cashier on hand were amazing with service definitely would come again 10/10

This was my first time to eat at the Fire Bowl and the food was very good also the service was also very good and fast. We will be back.

I asked for my noodles to not be spicy. I understand a little spice but what they gave me is inedible. It sucks because obviously this was our dinner. It's soooo spicy that I can't even force myself to eat it. I tried calling the restaurant location I ordered from but they were already closed. read more

Fire Bowl Cafe - Chicken teriyaki with brown rice, carrots, broccoli and zucchini. Very filling and tasty. - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have been a regular customer at this location for the last 6 years. This was the cleanest restaurant I have ever been to. The food was consistent and delicious. It's not high quality Chinese food, but a good quick alternative. Something changed in the past 2 months. I order the same thing each time and my order includes the sweet and sour sauce for dipping. The new sauce is inedible. Somehow it is both oily and tasteless. I am sure other things have changed as well. I won't be back for a long while. Cost savings doesn't equal happy customers. read more

Pick a carb, pick a protein, pick a vegetable, pick a sauce kinda place. They do some stir fry in the kitchen and then pass it on to you in a bowl. And well, honestly, it's just ok. It tastes fresh enough, but there doesn't feel like there's a lot of flavor, even though one would assume a thai curry base for stir fried noodles would pack more of a punch. It's also not that spicy either, where I added some additional heat after with some chili oil to give some semblance of flavor. Portion sizes are on the smaller side too. Food does come out super quick though (which given since it's mostly stir fry, makes sense). So if you're in a rush and don't want a traditional fast food place, it's an option. read more

Super disappointing experience. We got our appetizer after our main course, the lettuce platter, which came with an entire 3 pieces of lettuce. It was a big discussion to get 2 more pieces of lettuce to almost finish our appetizer. Got to my main course (a build your own stir fry for $14), and it has NO FLAVOR. I ordered the Ginger White Wine sauce after some debate out loud between that or the curry coconut. I definitely didn't expect my food to taste more bland than butter noodles. There wasn't a hint of ginger flavor in sight. I went up and asked for a side of a different sauce to make my horrible dish edible, and the manager informed me it would be $1.60. I explained to her the dish is inedible and disgusting bland, to which she AGREED. She said "oh yes that sauce is very bland no flavor" so I ask why there isn't any ginger flavoring at all and ask why that wasn't told to me before ordering, if it's known the ginger sauce tastes NOTHING LIKE GINGER. The manager was rude after knowing and admitting she served me a poor product, go spend your money somewhere else. read more

Fire Bowl Cafe - Stir fry bland as can be - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Server:Cash 1 C Super negative experience with cashier/shift manager. Ordered 3 meals, got told total was $35 presented with $45 bill. When I asked whether it was right the lady with brown hair threw major attitude. All I wanted to know is if the order was correct. I guess I'll just go F myself then. So rude and easily avoidable. read more

The fried rice impressed me, so I visited it again. But the second time, the fried rice wasn't good, most of the rice was stuck together. I'm afraid that's my last time visiting this store. Quality control has problems. read more

For many years, Fire Bowl Cafe was a favorite restaurant for my family. Just before the pandemic, I received unpleasant service from their manager, and we stopped dining at Fire Bowl. Spring forward to the present, and my wife & I decided to give Fire Bowl another try. Sad to say, Fire Bowl took a turn for the worst. Today, they no longer use real plates, but instead, they serve food in paper bowls with a plastic fork & spoon. The food portion has gotten smaller with a higher price. I know that food prices went up during the pandemic, but it's been almost 2 years since the pandemic. What is their reason for price gouging & paper products? A $35 meal for two on paper bowls & plastic silverware. They don't even offer the fortune cookies today. Plus, they wanted a tip for counter service. Pure greed. Never again. read more

Fire Bowl is my go-to for a flavorful Singapore vermicelli bowl. The portion is generous, and the mix of spices is perfect. It's a great lunch or dinner spot when you want something satisfying and quick. read more

Skip the egg rolls - the wrapping paper is too thick. My go to is the Vermicelli Singapore - beef, no curry, sub Classic Chinese Sauce. I've been ordering this since they first opened on Brodie Lane. One order can easily feed 2 people. read more

Find somewhere better. The food was bland, and protein portions were almost nothing. Started bad when i walked in, ordered from the teenager at register who was clueless, then find out they don't take cash. What business doesn't take cash? $20 wasted, 95% went in garbage read more

Fire Bowl Cafe - a bowl of noodles and a fork - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

The only reason for 2 stars and not 1 is that the staff was friendly, portions were decent, and it was quick. The food however was SO bland and my beef and Thai veggie stir fry tasted like rubber. I almost couldn't chew it. My fiancé got a different bowl and said the exact same thing. Maybe it was the teriyaki sauce, but I would not recommend it to anyone. Can't say I'll be back unfortunately. I'd rather just save my money and cook at home. read more

It is difficult when you crave some Asian food but know you can't have white rice. Your options are limited. Then I remember Firebowl has brown rice and a new location opened near me. Off I went to satisfy my craving I arrived shortly after 11AM. Only a couple of tables with diners and one person in front of me in line My turn to order. I select the spicy peanut with chicken on brown rice. The best part is, I found out you don't need to order the standard veggie bundle so I picked Thai veggies but subbed the mushrooms for snap peas. Got my cup for the drink and located a table to wait. There are about 18 four seater tables and 3 large hi-top tables. While I was there, two tables were loaded with filled to go bags. At one table was a food delivery driver loading some of the bags. Two more delivery drivers showed up. There was also 2 customers who walked in and within 5 minutes got to go bags and left. I guess take out is big at this place. Since I arrived it took me only 5 minutes to place my order. The wait for my food was in the 25 minute range. It appeared the take out orders were given priority. The food was good as usual. They had to go boxes at the table next to the beverages Yes, I will be back but I may call my order in and get it to go read more

The food here was really good, especially have the exhausting workout I did before eating here. I was on my way to try Mad Greens when I saw Fire Bowl and decided maybe I might change my plans and I'm so glad I did because it was a delicious meal and I can't wait to eat here again. read more

Fire Bowl Cafe - Coconut curry with veggies and white rice - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ordered the general tsos chicken with tofu instead of chicken. There was no sauce in the dish, except for the very minimal sauce that the tofu and broccoli was originally cooked in. The dish was basically just a block of stuck together dry rice noodles with no sauce to flavor or separate them. The fried tofu had a thick layer of flour on it so it just tasted like I was eating tofu coated in flour. I called to ask if I could get some sauce on the side delivered and she said no, those dishes don't come with sauce, even though it clearly stated on Uber eats it comes with the vegetarian sauce. Extremely disappointed as I could have made a block of rice noodles on my own and eaten them plain and dry if this is what I wanted instead of spending $13 on it read more

Always a good meal here. And the service is good. We will be back. Their teriyaki is my favorite.

Food delivered thru Grubhub. Ordered miso tofu soup and fire noodles. Soup tasted like salt, couldn't taste anything else. Noodles were good, fairly spicy. Might order again with no soup. read more

Been coming to Firebowl for 10 years now. Unfortunately the quality of food has fallen off and the management was a bit rude. Was cut off by the manager while trying to input my rewards number and had to ask after the transaction if I could input my phone number to find out I had $5 in credit that could have been applied to my meal had I not been interrupted throughout my order. I've gotten the same Crispy Orange chicken every time and today they loaded it with too much spice and made it difficult to share with my daughter. It's a shame when a reliable food spot falls off. Unfortunately I'll return at some point but I have a new standard for what to expect from here on out. read more

I haven't been to this location before but we went today and were very pleased. My husband had a beef noodle type bowl which he liked. I had the pineapple fried rice with chicken and it was very good. The egg rolls were good, but not great. A little pricey for lunch, $35 with a tip, but food was good. Will return. read more

Average at best. Chicken and noodles lacked any type of seasoning. Veggie roll was sub par.

Ordered from this location last night via DoorDash. Pad Thai had a large plastic bag mixed in with the noodles. We were disgusted; who knows what this bag was used for. DoorDash promptly granted a full refund. We will not be ordering from here again. Sharing to raise caution. read more

Delicious, easy, healthy choices were available. We were looking for a quick lunch. Not too heavy. Fire Bowl hit the spot. Portions are perfect. Fresh veggies, sauces were yummy and flavorful, choices of carbs included brown rice, noodles, vermicelli, fried rices too. We will be back and next time I'll remember to take pictures. We sat outside on a lovely little patio. Puppy friendly, we had our golden doodle with us and another family had their small pup. read more
