Don't do it. Low quality ingredients. Weird fatty chicken. Fried rice is white rice with soy sauce on it, no veggies. Egg roll worst I've had; sweet and soggy. Anyone saying this place is good has a taste for low end Chinese. I mean no disrespect by that but some people like their Chinese like that. Order Szechwan 123 if in your area - amazing quality ingredients, real meat and veggies. So disappointed. read more

The only place i'll get take out for both hibachi and chinese. Good portions for the price.

I love Fire Bowl. The food is incredible and it's decently priced too. It made me so sad to see the low rating for one of my go tos

This place rocks! I have no clue why it's rated low. It's good food. Not the best for dinning in but takeout is great, just not a ton of seating. Service is fast and the prices are good. The tofu rocks, the veggies are done properly and the rice is so sticky and delicious. Give this place a shot! read more

I was in the mood for regular old American Chinese. I ordered the Szechuan Shrimp combo with steamed rice and it came with an egg roll. For the first time, a cheat meal actually was really good. The shrimp were excellent and I liked the egg roll and rice, too. I also had a delicious wonton soup. None of this meal felt greasy and oiled down. The crispy noodles with the soup were also wonderful. Great choice for American Chinese. read more

Best price point and quality Chinese food around. The lunch &dinner specials is the go to. This place does not deserve 3 stars.

Very good food! Fast and affordable. I don't recommend getting it through a food app because it is very much so upcharged

Food is really good. Best sesame chicken I've found in the area. Also very clean inside the people are always super nice.

I was looking for a go-to Chinese place for quick and simple food in Wilmington. I've driven past this place a lot so figured we'd give it a try during the covid19 pandemic. It's just a regular strip mall restaurant that has a lot of dishes on their menu. The staff had masks on and left the food on a table outside so we weren't within 6 feet when we picked it up. We ordered the General tso's chicken combination, beef and broccoli combination, and cream cheese wontons. The fried rice didn't look like normal fried rice I'm use to. The meals were pretty standard for Chinese takeout. Sadly, they forgot the wontons. Since the place was only down the road, we called and they had them when we got there. I probably wouldn't have driven back but I was looking forward to the wontons. They were good after I heated them up along with the egg roll. I'd definitely check the bag before I leave next time. read more

My family is continuing our quest to find the best hibachi in town and next up was Fire Bowl. This is in the Porters Neck/Odgen region. It is placed in a little shopping center and in past cities we have found that those typically have the best Hibachi. My daughter got the lo main, I got the chicken hibachi, and my husband got a duo meal that the shrimp was little over cooked but the chicken was tasty. My daughter devoured her noodles pretty quickly so I would say it is safe to say the she enjoyed them. But the hibachi was just okay. The food was a little bland and you only get a single white sauce which was very sad since I could drink Japanese white sauce. I would in the future be sure to add extra sauces and just know that the food is not the best in town (we have yet to find that) but was not horrible. read more

We order almost weekly, food is always delicious, delivery always fast! We ordered last Sunday, I had been sick in bed all day & only wanted egg drop soup, but when it arrived, it was hot & sour soup. I called, explained everything, including my NEED for egg drop soup. They brought it within 10 minutes, saving my life & Im still working on it! read more

Fire Bowl is a very Americanized version of Asian fast foods. Their menu contains pretty much any variation of common Chinese, Japanese and Thai foods but in a very simplified form for pretty low prices. It's one of the few quick dinner options in Ogden that is open until 11 during the week and is not a big chain. They are located right off market street in a tiny shopping center next to Camille's and Lisa's Nails. I've gotten take out here a couple times, trying the steamed veggies and rice, orange chicken, and Thai curry plate. All meals I've had were around $4-6 and plenty of food for the price. The quality is pretty good for what you pay for. The level of richness in flavor is pretty low but if you ask for chili or soy sauce that'll suffice, as long as you're not expecting the Ritz Carlton of Asian Cuisine. Every time I've gotten food here I've taken at least a meal or two back home with me in left overs, and it actually ends up tasting better reheated than it did fresh from their counter. The beverage options are very limited here and they do not have a free water jug. There are only a few tables inside and the environment isn't really date night material so I'd probably recommend getting to go and watching a movie while enjoying at home. Make sure to check your order bag for fortune cookies, if that's up your alley, because they are supposed to gibe them to you but every time I have to ask because they're so busy they forget. And what's an Asian take out meal without a fortune cookie? All in all decent place that's open late and good bang for your buck given the low prices and large portions. read more

Delicious! We got the general tso combo meal and the sweet and sour combo meal with a side of crab rangoon. Perfect crunch and lots of flavor. 10/10 would recommend. We will be back for sure read more

Fire bowl has really good food if you're looking for that American takeout Chinese food. They get the orders right, everything is seasoned well...ohhhh and their chicken fried rice has so much chicken in it!! Good chicken too. Wonton soup is probably tge best in town.

the food is always hot, fresh and delicious, my go to for takeout. love the pot stickers.

Egg rolls were FILLED and well cooked. "Crab Rangoons" had good flavor, but were a disappointment. House fried rice was bland, at best. read more

This was the 2nd time I ordered takeout from Fire Bowl. The first time I got the chicken lo mein with fried rice. It was good but surprising spicy. This time I had the sweet and sour chicken combo dinner with wonton soup. It was good. It was pretty typical of American Chinese takeout. This will be my go-to whenever I get a hankering for Chinese food. read more

Fire Bowl - Sweet and sour chicken combination dinner with wonton soup. - Chinese Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

I remember having Fire Bowl as a young teen and it being some of the best takeout ever. Now that we're back on this side of town, we've been wanting to try it again. Disappointed is the only thought I have right now. We ordered through GrubHub for delivery in this afternoon, and that came within a reasonable time (30-40ish minutes). Now to the food: 1) Honey Shrimp - a favorite according to the menu. The shrimp itself was decent, but the sweet mayonnaise sauce was interesting. Good amount of walnuts. 2) Hot & Sour Soup - It was alright. I've had some with a little mor flavor. 3) Chili Ginger Chicken - Mushy, strong ginger flavor, meh.. 4) Cheese Wontons - Had Krab in them, which we were fine with, but if someone's expecting only cheese that could be an issue. Also a little over fried/oily. I'm hoping we just ordered the wrong things. May try again... not sure. read more

Been to the Fire Bowl a couple of times. The restaurant is primarily set up as a takeout place, the same as Dominos. It has 4 tables inside that can sit 10 people and a couple outside. Whenever I have been there, the only people that I have seen sitting at the tables are waiting for their to go orders. Although they have a fairly extensive menu, that includes some Japanese items, I go there for only two; their Egg Rolls which are substantial 4" long and 1 1/2"in diameter and their Roast Pork Fried Rice. I get fortune cookies and they throw in plenty of packets of hot mustard, sweet/sour sauce and soy sauce. Take these home and serve them to Trader Joe's Mandarin Orange Chicken and you have a delicious Chinese meal at home. Their service is fast, it takes no more that 10 - 15 Min. after I place the order for them to be delivering it to me. In and out with no hassle, that is the way a fast food place should run and having good food, what more can you ask for? read more

Fire Bowl - Fried rice is not white rice mixed with soy sauce in a bowl with no vegetables ... plain - Chinese Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Always great food, the delivery is always quick and efficient and great quality food our favorite Chinese!

Never any issues with food quality. Delivery service is quick and friendly. A standard for when no one in the house wants to cook.

So. Good. Quick service, great food and surrounded by tons of shops on King St. Will definitely be returning!

Incompetent service. Tried this place twice for takeout and both times their 25 minute wait turned to over an hour. Just tell people it'll be an hour and don't waste their time. read more

The worst Japanese/Asian food I have ever had in my life. Come on, at least taste your own food before serving and selling them to any customers. The food was bland and had no taste at all. Yakiniku steak literally did not even have any sauce on it. I have been to Hiro Japanese Steakhouse. I know what Yakiniku sauce tastes like. Seriously, Firebowl just made Yakiniku steak in Hibachi style with no sauce. We ordered mostly off the Japanese menu. Steak is not even steak. They simply just use beef instead. What a waste of money. I will definitely not go back. I would rather go to Mizuki Japan or Miyabi Jr Express. read more

The food is always consistent & fresh. I've never been disappointed when ordering from Fire Bowl

Hands down the best Chinese food in Wilmington. Not too expensive by comparison to other places.

Terrible Worst food ive ever eaten I think I could cook this type of food better with no instructions read more

I never treat myself to ordering delivery so I was so excited... I called Fire Bowl at 5:21 and ordered: 2 large VEGETABLE lo mein (enough for both kids and husband) I said it more than once on the phone. cream cheese wontons (for me) 3 veggie spring rolls (for me) orange chicken (for my husband) I told the girl on the phone I was vegetarian and asked when I was inquiring about the spring rolls... that they were infact vegetarian and she assured me that yes they were. Fast forward to 6:20 when I was delivered HOUSE SPECIAL lo mein instead of VEGETABLE lo mein which after looking at the menu it's not even listed on what is in the house special. But there were shrimp, chicken and pork in the lo mein according to my husband when he looked at it. 6:23 I called and told them that they accidentally brought me house lo mein. I've worked in a restaurant and understand things happen and mistakes are made... no big deal. Instead of apologizing and saying can we bring you out vegetable lo mein no problem.... the owner and the girl who works the phones YELLED at me and told me that is what I ordered. Rest assured I DEFINITELY would have NEVER ordered HOUSE lo mein with 3 different meats in it! I had to feed my kids my food because they were starving and go to bed at 7. So there went my spring rolls and cream cheese wontons. So here I am at 7:15... still haven't had anything to eat. I couldn't believe they YELLED at me and told me basically that I was a liar. They even asked for the food back... I could give the meat lo mein to my husband since he is the only meat eater. They could have said, since you gave your food to your kids let us also bring that to you so you can actually eat what you ordered for yourself. So disappointed in how they talked to me and how unprofessional they were. read more

Not impressed. I stopped by to order take out .... an employee who was walking in and out of the restaurant told me I had to call on the phone to place an order. Not a problem. Well, I called and was immediately put on hold, and no one ever came back on the line. Meanwhile this guy keeps going back and forth into the restaurant ... why could he not take my order? After 10 minutes "on hold" with no one picking back up, I finally left. read more

The moo goo gai pan I order had zero taste . The chicken had no taste and was chewy. The guy that took my payment was very rude I said thank you he ignored it. The man that took my payment when I asked questions about my order dose it have gluten wheat or dairy he said no after waiting 5 mins for a quick answer and when I said thank you he said he ready 15 mins and hung up very rude. I'll never be back here. read more

I've never left a Yelp review, but after eating here I have no choice. The food, first of all, was awful. Second the service was slow, which honestly I don't really care about as a food service worker myself but it was definitely excessive. Third, the staff were extremely short and frankly rude to me and other guests while we were waiting. Finally, it was way overpriced for the quality and I can say with confidence I will not come here again, hopefully I can help you avoid it as well read more

Do not go to Firebowl restaurant. This what I found in my egg drop soup this evening once it was delivered. Particularly interesting was the fact that the restaurant manager argued with me saying there was no way mold could be in the soup, yet here it is...... Wouldn't recommend going there if you're considering it read more

It's the best Chinese food we have had in Wilmington (and we tried a lot). We're from the SF Bay Area and used to some really good Chinese food and it was tough to find on this coast. I've learned to not get lemon/orange chicken anywhere - the chicken just isn't fried well. BUT if you're looking for some awesome General Tso's or Kung-pao chicken or beef this is a great place to find it. Also, their combination lo mein is always good for us. it's the only place we'll eat Chinese food in Wilmington. read more

The cashier answering the phone was not polite indeed. He told me to get my order together and call back when all I did was stutter over my words. Not happy with my Experience! read more

I've only been in Wilmington for 7 months, and this is the only Chinese take out I've tried, and I have no reason to change places. Food is delicious, nice big portions, and nice environment. My only 2 complaints are minor, but worth noting. They aren't the friendliest people in the world, but not going out of their way to be rude. Just don't expect a high five on your way out. And my "biggest" complaint is that there is a $10 minimum charge for delivery, which kinda sucks if you're only ordering for yourself. But delivery is decently fast, food is delicious and saucey, and the prices are reasonable. You NEED to try Fire Bowl! read more
