First time I've been in since the pandemic. The food tasted OK, but they seemed a bit short staffed. Maybe that was because I went in about 430PM, so between the lunch and dinner rushes. I was a little put off that they only had plastic teaspoons, which made it difficult to eat my large bowl of soup! Again, maybe they are short staffed and hadn't washed the dishes from lunch. The crab rangoons were very good - crispy on the wings and not mushy on the roll. read more

We have been coming here for awhile now , but this evening was our last. I placed my order at about 8:40 and yes I know that sucks for them, but customers schedules don't revolve around what is best for the restaurants. I went to pick up my food that was already paid for plus a tip , and the cashier which I am not sure if he is the owner , proceeded to ask me Why I always place my orders close to their closing time? I am sorry that I inconvenience YOU but it will be our last time! You have lost a long time customer with us. No matter how nice you asked the question , you don't do that! read more

Visited on Sunday and was NOT disappointed! I don't eat much junk food so this doesn't make me feel completely guilty. Lol read more

Fire Bowl Cafe - Chinese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Placed an order online for pickup on a Saturday night. A few customizations to each entree and everything was excellent. Zero complaints. Above and beyond my expectations. We will definitely add Fire Bowl into our Saturday night rotation. read more

Not bad - for a quick meal! We ordered for pick-up and by the time we had arrived there, the food was already ready (6-7 minutes). We ordered basil fried rice and drunken noodles, it was just A-OK, very much what we expected. We've had our share of amazing rice and noodle entree's, this isn't that, BUT it probably wouldn't stop us from getting Fire Bowl Cafe again in the future if we happen to be around it. read more

I stopped in this morning after shopping, right after 11:00. I ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken and two pork egg rolls. There were no other customers yet but.. these guys were filling several online orders very quickly. I got my order to go and it only took max 10 minutes. This Pad Thai was SO good and the egg rolls were so crispy and delicious!!! Best $20 I spent today. read more

Okay updating my review to 5 because IN STORE they have actual Mexican Coke. I know it's petty, but my emotions were played with! Lol Again, the food is really good and now that I've gone in store, the personality for the staff is so fun and friendly! I really recommend this place! read more

Fire Bowl Cafe - Not the Mexican Coke I was thinking I was getting. - Chinese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Great value and great flavor! Had the Shrimp Pineapple Fried Rice and it was awesome. Huge portion and lots of shrimp and fresh veggies! Just the right amount of spice. read more

Kenney made our experience so wonderful. The food is great, but he really made the meal feel gourmet. You can tell he cares so much about the people who come in. He has exceptional customer service and we loved every single thing about him. He went the extra mile to make me feel welcome when I wasn't able to get the meal I came for. God bless you Kenney. read more

Excellent customer service, clean and attended environment. The food was served hot and fresh in no time at all. Chicken Pad Thai was flavorful and had a generous amount of protein. Our favorites however, were the appetizers. The Crab Rangoons and Veggie Egg Rolls were absolutely delicious. We could've ordered 3 more servings and still left wanting more. So happy with our experience! read more

I ordered from Fire Bowl Cafe few times a month. But last experience that I had pissed me off really bad. I ordered Pineapple fried rice around 8.30 pm pm and went to pick it up at 8.45 pm. When I left, they turned off the light right away. I didn't know what was going on until I got home. The food was horrible. It was damn salty, it numbs my tongue. I am so mad because I was tired and my food was not prepared correctly then I have to go out to find another food for the night. If they dont want to take order after 8.30pm, they should shut down the online order at 8.30pm. I reported the incident the next morning but I heard nothing back from them. I am disappointed. read more

I have been here 2x. I have no idea what I ordered the first time but I liked it enough to return. so theres something to be said for that. I had the chow fun beef with garlic sauce and thai veggie mix. It was good. great flavor but the meat was kinda chewy. I finally had to try to hack it down with the butter knives they have. I twas good the first day but as left overs the meat got chewier. Had to deduct 2 stars for that b/c normally asian food tastes even better the 2nd day. . I would def. return. and am looking fwd to trying teryaki, maybe i'll fare better with the chicken. read more

The flavor was great, but the person taking my order didn't get my order correct. I think you also have more options to customize your order if you use the app... now I know. read more

I had a really great time at Firebowl Cafe, I'm just not a huge fan of the food. When I came here around 5pm on a Wednesday, my friend and I were the only ones there, but it began to get busier around 6. I ordered the Stir Fry Your Way with Shrimp, Thai Veggie Mix, Fire Sauce and Ramen Lomein. I asked the cashier which sauce was the spiciest because I'm Thai and like to eat very spicy foods and she suggested the Fire Sauce. I figured none of the sauces would actually be spicy because this place strikes me as an Americanized chain and unfortunately I was right. The service was great overall and we got our food very quickly, which at first impressed me, but also made me wonder about the quality of my food if I was able to get it within 5 minutes of ordering. The food wasn't bad, but wasn't good enough for me to choose to eat here again. The noodles felt pretty soggy for a stir fry, but I liked the shrimp and veggies. I will say the portion size is great for what you pay! Overall, not a bad choice if you're limited on options or want something fast. read more

Wife was driving around in la frontiera and decided to grab some food. Kind of felt like some Chinese food the decided to stop by stop fire bowl. My food was OK at first got the pineapple chicken ate about half of it, and noticed there was something in my food that wasn't chicken or rice. It was something fried cut it open and it stunk. Lost my appetite after that. We also ordered crab ragoons Instead of giving us crab ragoons we got 6 veggie egg rolls. Was very unsatisfied with my food in general. read more

Fire Bowl Cafe - This is whatever I found fried in my food like I said it didn't smell good. - Chinese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

A mostly customizable Asian bowl restaurant. The man at the register helped me go through the vegetarian options. He was very nice and helpful and when he wasn't busy, would stop by my table to talk. The food was good and filling. Though I will admit that if I had a choice between here and a Mongolian grill, I would go Mongolian. Fire bowl has already set recipes with not a lot of room to make your own. Where Mongolian has the build it yourself style, I love. read more

Fire Bowl Cafe - Chinese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I'm reviewing this restaurant because my recent experience showed that the manager at this location truly works to increase their bottom line. I called in to order for myself a standard menu item. My husband was planning on another meal altogether different from my order at FireBowl because they no longer offered the dish he previously had ordered here; red Thai curry. It was explained to me the dish was cancelled from the lack of ingredients available. When I arrived at the given time to pick up my order, the manager remembered my request about the red Thai and suggested that maybe my husband try another curry dish on the menu. He explained it would be less spicy and that it was a favorite. My husband agreed to try it and was happy he did. So, another sale was made! I appreciated the information and the manager's good memory. Now we will revisit FireBowl in the future. Well done! read more

I don't give 5 stars easily. I ordered through Uber Eats, quick delivery. Food came packaged really nicely in separate boxes and containers. Food was great and the ingredients tasted more fresh than any other Chinese place I've ever had. They are not stingy like most places when it comes to the quality of food or providing sauces requested. I ordered fire fire on the spice level and did not find it that spicy. Next time I'll order fire fire fire...I also thought the spices/flavor were less than Id like but maybe that's just me. Despite that I'm still giving 5 stars based on everything else. Very very fresh food and there's a clear difference vs other shops. read more

The quest for Halloween candy brought me back to Fire Bowl Cafe which I haven't visited in years. I vaguely remember the last visit, but I then remembered as a went down the sequence. The sequence consists of a protein, vegetables, sauce and ends with a choice of rice. I then chose chicken, spring vegetables, Kung pao sauce and fried rice. My dish was pretty because the vegetable mix was fresh and the Kung pao flavor was pretty flavorful. However, there simplified menu takes away from most of rye signature dishes because my dish didn't have peanuts. Also, the portion size was lacking. Finally, the restaurant prepares their food well but the flavors aren't very distinct. read more

I've tried just about every single thing on the menu here at Fire Bowl Cafe in Round Rock, and have just about HATED everything I've tasted. However, they do have one redeeming delicacy: The Fortune Cookie. This place has THE BEST tasting fortune cookies I have ever consumed! If it weren't for Fire Bowl's fortune cookies, I can't fathom how they'd ever manage to stay in business - all the other food here tastes quite nasty to me for some reason. Nevertheless, my wife loves it, so I'm here quite frequently munching down on fortune cookies. read more

Good is delicious! We love spicy coconut soup yummm. I accidentally order the working salad and when they noticed my facial expression ( confusion ) they offered me to try another one which I was very pleased ! Costumer service is exceptional. Thank you so much we had a great dinner tonight. read more

Fire Bowl Cafe - Enjoying dinner with my daughter - Chinese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I was very hesitant to eat here. After the crazy long day I had I was starving and craving fast asian food, mainly orange chicken. It was close to my residence and quick so I decided to give it a try. This is not like your typical Chinese restaurant, it's more modern and fast for the younger generations. My first perception is that it was another Panda. I ordered beef, spring veggie mix with szechuan garlic on white rice. Brought it home and took my first bite and was blown away. Holy crap that is good!! The flavor is just enough and not salty and overpowering. The amount in the container looks small but they pack the food in there, and they were generous with the meat and veggies. I was in cheap chinese food heaven! This day I learned not to judge a restaurant by it's decor lol. Thanks for the yummy food Fire Bowl, I'll stop by next time I have a craving! read more

The pineapple fried rice is awesome. The pad Thai is by far the worst I've ever had. Go with another dish, trust me.

I have worked near this place for almost nine years and I have only been here a handful of times. I went yesterday because I wanted fresh food with an Asian taste. I ordered the Chicken stir fry with Thai Veggie mix and Thai Pepper sauce. I chose the flat noodles to go with the stir fry. The taste of it was really good. The veggies were fresh. Only complaint is that I wish their chicken was cut into bite size pieces, but I will not complain if that jeopardizes the amount of chicken I will receive in the future. There was a decent amount of meat in my dish. I have tried different things there and it was not bad at all. I definitely invite you to try them out. They are always packed at lunch so they must be doing something right. The main reason why I do not come here often is because that one stir fry noodle dish I had was $9.04 with tax. That is just for the food since I did not get a drink. I got this to go so please be sure to grab some napkins and sauces (hot sauces) before you leave. The bag was packed with the standard to go package of one napkin, spoon and fork with salt & pepper packets. I personally need more napkins than that. read more

I tried the bulgogi beef w/flat noodles called chow fun. It was a solid 3 star. The bulgogi beef had some flavor and was pretty chewy, I spiced it up with some chili sauce. My wife had the classic Chinese chicken with thai mixed vegetables and sticky rice. It was barely a 3 star....not a whole lot of flavor, kind of bland. We shared an appetizer which was 5 fried shrimp with some kind of a rice batter and was served over a bed of mixed salad. This was a solid 5 stars. Topped it off with a couple of glasses of iced green tea that was surprisingly good. We used a coupon for buy one entrée and half off of the second, still spent about 25 bucks, cost and quality of the food is why we give this meal only a 3 star rating. read more

I was definitely disappointed with this choice. I thought the food was going to be good. Everything was lacking flavor. They gave good portions but for the price you pay and what you get it's not worth it. I paid $35 for lunch for two and we didn't even eat half of it. It just didn't have the flavor we were expecting. It looked great and smelt great. read more

I cannot find Pad Thai anywhere that is as good as Firebowl! We have NEVER come here and had a bad experience. The workers are tremendously helpful if you aren't sure what you want. They explain options like a boss!! This is a have to if you are in the Austin area!! read more

So, I came into this experience with an attitude, due to poor experience years ago. Up to that time, we were Fire Bowl aficionados. I wanted to find something wrong, but honestly, they are back to legit standing. The ambiance is very nice and comfortable, and the staff were very competent. However, they are not overly friendly. The food was very good. We had General Tso's Chicken with Fried Rice, Pork Egg Rolls and Fried Potstickers. I would highly recommend and of these menu items. I like General Tso's Chicken because it has some medium heat/spice. Overall, I would say 3 and 1/2 stars is accurate. It is very good, not great or outstanding. However, there is potential bring there game up. read more

Ordered to pick up at 11am for catering for my team at work (found out this is when they open)- it wasn't ready yet which I wasn't too happy about, but they did make it quickly. Everything was really delicious and the young lady made sure my special orders were correct. Cons: they were out of wings, but she offered anything else. I went with the potstickers. That was fine, but really wanted the wings. The part that was not ok was my order of the two fresh Thai rolls -one of them was busted open and def shouldn't have been given that way. See photo. :( read more

Fire Bowl Cafe - Busted open/sloppily made roll. These are my favorite and I was disappointed at the half ass job. Person packing my order shoulda noticed. - Chinese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Legit one of the worst meals I've ever had. Tied with a garbage place in fort worth for #1 worst thing I've ever ordered from a restaurant. Couldn't even eat it. Everything reeked of cheap white pepper, too much sugar, my ramen was like, and may well have been, spaghetti. Horrifically bad. This place should close down and maybe run some mini storages. If what I got was an exception to their normal quality or just a fluke, everyone on staff should be fired. read more

Could not get mgr taking order to understand that I wanted 2x (3) pork ($5.75) egg rolls and 2 ala carte, not 8 ala carte at $2.75 a piece for our biz lunch. This is the 2nd time this type of gouging at this store has occurred. There will not be a strike 3. read more

This place never disappoints. I brought my sis-in-law, she had the drunken noodles and said they were delicious. I had the fried rice bowl with chicken, very yummy. The sweet and sour chicken was good as well. The edamame was just ok. Probably wouldn't order that again but everything else was super yummy!! read more

Stopped in for a bite late Friday afternoon. There were very few customers. The restaurant looked very clean and organized. All of the staff were smiling and very helpful. I ordered the veggies with Kung Pao sauce. I chose Kung Pao because it had two spice indicators. However it wasn't very spicy. My one complaint is about the veggie egg roll. It was a greasy dough ball. I'm not sure there were any veggies in it at all. I ordered two but could only eat one because of the grease. My main entree was very good so I will go back. Just without the egg roll next time. read more

There must be new management here. Very clean and organized I've seen since a very long time. Food was good and hot. Staff is friendly and efficient. 10/10 read more

This place, to me, keeps getting better. I used to go a long time ago, it was always good. Started going back once a week or so recently, and they've gotten better. Maybe new management? I don't know. They are always polite and fast with the orders. The food and service isn't going downhill like I see with alot of these kinds of restaurants. Went there today and still good! read more

Portions are not too large. It was ok with coupon first time we tried it, but second time seemed a bit pricey for the food. Location is convenient but PeiWei is better in our humble opinion. read more

Did not like their fried rice or Thai basil fried rice. Food was bland with no real flavor. Garden rolls were better, and the guy explicitly asked for gratuity before I got a chance to get around to it on the phone. I understand Covid has been extremely hard on restaurants and staff- they have to pay their rent and I totally get it. Gave an extra star for Curbside pickup option. To summarize food was bland and service was average, this will unfortunately be my first and last visit. read more

One of favorite Asian fast food places. They have a good reward program and I think prices are reasonable. My only complaint is as a regular customer I often get free coupons, or discounts BUT they don't have any locations in my area. I have to wait till I am visiting Austin area to use them. I don't care about any of the coupons but I was disappointed that on my birthday Fire Bowl sent me a free entree coupon and it expired in 2 days of them sending it. I was in MCALLEN for work and was passing thru Austin to go home and stopped here to eat. I asked the manager to honor it being it was expired only for 1 day and he DID NOT. My advice to corporate is give a longer than 2 day expiration to give customers time to use it. For a regular at this Round Rock location I was very disappointed read more

We went to Fire Bowl as the other Asian place we like to go to was closed. We got the Pad Thai and it wasn't very good at all. There was no flavours to the dish and not enough peanuts. The portions were big but that's about it. I would not recommend it. If your in the mood for a good pad Thai in round rock go to Thai Spoon, you will love it. read more

My husband and I love Fire Bowl! We always get the combo fried rice. It comes with fried rice, veggies, chicken, beef, and shrimp. The portions are so large we always share and are plenty full by the end. My mom visited for the first time and was trying to build her stir fry and the employee was very helpful. I tried the sesame chicken with pineapple once, and even though it was good, I won't stray from the combo fried rice again. read more
