    I've been coming here for years. Always good food and good service. The location is kind of small for those in large groups thinking about dining in

    This is my first time in a physical restaurant for this place. My bestfriends always eat at this place in The Bay so they brought it to me once they found it in San Diego and brought me some. I believe I tried the rice, veggies, and beef bowl. I thought it was delicious and not too bad of a price. The veggies are good and the rice is nice and soft. For this particular restaurant, the place was very clean and the guy working the register was very courteous and amiable. I like that they have different sauces you can put on your food and they are now offering avocado. If I could find this close to San Marcos, I'd probably go weekly.

    I am all about keeping things simple when it comes to food. I would prefer a restaurant to master a few options rather than offer a large selection of mediocrity. The Flame Broiler specializes in rice bowls, and they simply do it better than anyone else. The setup is similar to many other restaurant chains. All you need to do is pick your protein, add veggies (or not), and select brown or white rice. Sounds easy -right? The hardest choice you will need to make is figuring how much of their (appropriately named) magic sauce that you would like to consume. On its own, the beef and chicken are grilled to perfection, the veggies are blanched and tender, and the rice is what you would expect Calrose rice to taste like. However, when you toss in a boat load of their magic (teriyaki) sauce over the top- something amazing happens. The magic sauce transforms a "normal" (albeit good) rice bowl into a can't-miss attraction. Since it was my first time here, I tried the half and half bowl (chicken and beef) with veggies and white rice. FYI, for all of you tofu lovers-they have that as an option too. Since I like spicy food, I also tried their hot sauce options to see if The Flame Broiler was bringing the heat. The reddish/orange hot sauce had more of a vinegar base and tasted similar to "buffalo sauce". The greenish/brown hot-hot sauce was a little spicier, and went well with the beef. Online, this place is classified as offering Korean style rice bowls. I am not sure I would agree with that classification, as I did not detect a Korean influence at all. If you can't tell-I am a fan of this place. I wish there was one closer to me in Northern California. However, since there a ton of locations throughout Southern California, and one in Las Vegas--I am sure I will be back soon.

    Does anybody work here?

    UPDATE: Just realized I did not update on here after Steven replied to my yelp review. I want to state that Steven immediately responded to my concerns & reached out to make things right. He mailed out vouchers to me & my family. We went back a few weeks later, & the experience was much cleaner & pleasant. I really appreciate Steven taking care of us & actually taking the time to reach out! Thank you! Plus the food was delicious! Way to go Steven! Disgusting to eat here. Gnats/Fruit flies everywhere! They were landing on me & my family's bowls like confetti! @I asked the employee if there was something they can do, & she said no. She then blamed it on having the Sauces on the counter & the hot weather....it's 6:30pm with a temperature of 72 degrees! I say ok, & decide to go sit outside with my family to eat. Well, 6:44pm & the employee had already put away all the tables & chairs. Mind you, when we arrived the tables were there, but while we ordered he put them away. I go & ask if we can't sit outside anymore? As they didn't close until 9pm. The employee says there suppose to put the tables & chairs away at 7pm. I said ok, but it's only 6:44pm, so your telling me I can't eat outside? Both employees looked upset, but did bring out the tables & chairs for us. I tried to explain to the employee that we just wanted to enjoy our food without the Gnats flying in or around our food, & outside there was none of that. He didn't care. I did not enjoy my meal at all. I wonder how many Gnats I ate today! BTW, the front counter was left unattended for a very long while.

We decided to stop by for dinner on a Friday around 7 PM and it was pretty packed but glad that there wasn't a line. I like the Korean pub vibe that this place gives. I just ordered two items -Tasty Cheesy Popping Corn Pancake and the Sweet & Spicy Chicken. Both dishes were packed with flavor, and I couldn't stop eating. I liked how they made the cheese corn in the form of a pancake. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The total came out to $50, which is definitely on the pricier side, but there were leftovers. Great spot to hang out with friends and to watch a game since they have a ton of screens. Would definitely stop by again to try other items on their menu.

If you're like me, that's just something to keep in mind. I'm a big fan of slushy drinks, so the Peach Makgeolli, served in a carafe, was the highlight of my meal. It was refreshing and definitely something I'd order again. This is a no-tipping establishment, which was a nice surprise. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I'd definitely come back the next time we're in the area to try more items from the menu.

Not only was I completely stuffed by the end, but every course felt so thoughtfully selected that I left feeling truly nourished within my body and soul. We ordered the Premium Han-Jeongsik, which featured a non-stop parade of incredible small plates: porridge, salad, radish water kimchi, spicy beef tartare, pan-fried sliced beef, braised short ribs, glass noodles with assorted vegetables, savory pancakes, seasonal scallops, and a rich kimchi stew. The dining experience felt wonderfully elegant as each course was brought out sequentially, allowing us to fully savor every unique flavor and texture. To top it off, they finished with my favorite sweet rice punch to cleanse the palate. While it certainly isn't cheap, this is definitely a "celebrate a special occasion or pretend you're royalty for an evening" kind of place. Lastly, the exceptional service makes every penny worth it. If you want to experience authentic, high-end Korean cuisine, look no further.

All the meat was really good and better than most Korean BBQ places I've been to. I would highly recommend this place if you don't mind paying the price
