So, stopped by Flame Broiler to pick up dinner for the family. Ordered two half-and-half plates and an Angus Rib plate. Got back home and discovered I had an Angus beef plate instead of and Angus rib plate. Very frustrating. I blame myself for not checking before I left the restaurant. But the responsibility for preparing the order right isn't mine. These days it seems like there's a mistake in virtually every other take-out order I get. Went back to the restaurant. I was asked if I wanted to pay the difference. I said, 'No, I didn't wanna pay the difference because I ordered the Angus rib plate so that should of been what I was charged. If the cashier rang me up for something different then that was her error. I would like to add, the difference between the Angus rib plate, on the menu for $10.60, and Angus beef plate, on the menu for $10.55, is, you guessed it, 5 cents. I told her I thought it was pretty ridiculous she's asking me to pay more when I had to return from home to get my order fixed. I didn't so much as get a "Sorry for you trouble." I won't go back to this location. read more

I can't believe I lived in SoCal for 7 months before FINALLY trying this place out. I love it. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It's fast, fresh, tasty and I feel better eating their rice bowls over getting a burger somewhere else. I always get the brown rice. The menu is simple. The ingredients are fresh. It tastes amazing. The employees are friendly. What more do you need? read more

Not all Flame Broilers are created equal. There is another location on Euclid that is awful. I've also been to one in La Habra that was equally awful. This one, this one is ALWAYS good. The chicken is never hard and dry because they grill it when you get there. The veggies are cooked so perfectly and the rice is not dry or soggy. I am never worried about if my food will taste like it's been sitting around for a while because I've ordered lunch from here at least 15 times now and the consistency is what keeps me coming back. PLEASE DON'T CHANGE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. IT WORKS! read more

Like so many others have said, this store is INDEED the KING (Queen?) of the Flame Broilers! I get the Works plate with both meats and NO rice, all vegetables with onions! You get a little lettuce salad with a slightly creamy Italian dressing and a cleverly cut orange that easily comes apart to eat off the peel. With NO MSG, the sodium is pretty low in these, but if you want to really keep sodium down, they will custom broil the meats with no coating. That just takes a few minutes. Their sodium chart says 870 mg sodium for the WHOLE plate WITH the marinade on the meat, so I get it now. They have a dark teriyaki sauce that is surely a sodium hell but sure tastes good, but for me they have a red spicy hot sauce that is actually CAJUN CHEF Hot Sauce, even though the containers are now unlabeled (they used to be labeled). I LOVE IT! That is a Louisiana hot sauce which I have tried to buy online TWICE and both vendors NEVER delivered! I sure wish FB would sell it, but if ANYONE knows where a store may have it here in Orange county, please let me know! read more

This is the healthiest lunch that is fast, that I can grab on the go, when I have had no time to pack a meal and am rushing to make it to class on time. I get the "works" bowl with brown rice and it is so good. Its a lot of protein and brown rice. It keeps me full for hours. The customer service is great. I especially like the Latin guy that works in the afternoon. He is so nice. Everyone is really really nice though. I have never waited longer than a few minutes for my bowl and it always tastes fresh. read more

Had not been to a flame jumper in a while and was so happy when I walked in and saw tofu and not importantly it actually was cooked perfect. Super delicious specially for a faster food type place. The staff was nice and very helpful. I'll be back. read more

This was one of our favorite places to get some really good, cheap grub back in my college days at Cal State Fullerton. Can't beat flame broiled beef or chicken, topped with their signature sweet teriyaki sauce over some rice and veggies! The only thing that sucks is that it's located in a relatively small mini-mall strip and the parking is very limited. I've seen a few other branches pop up in recent years, one in Brea, one in Cypress, and one really close to where I live now in the City of Industry. I think it's time to revisit this place... Flame Broiler definitely hits the spot on a student budget! read more

Yeah the good is super good. I always get the works bowl with brown rice and the veggies are all broccoli. I'm not a fan of cabbage. I really have no issues with this place or the food I love the food and the staff is always kinda. read more

The Rib Plate is Korean-style marinated short ribs atop your choice of white or brown rice, and served with salad and fruit garnish. The short ribs were pretty good for fast food. The ribs were definitely marinated for quite a while as the flavor penetrated the meat really well, tasting almost like teriyaki. You feel your carnivorous side come out as you gnaw on the bone to get each piece of meat off. I prefer the brown rice as it has more flavor than just white rice. A little bit a shoyu (soy sauce) and/or "Happy Sauce" and you're good to go. The salad was fresh and house sesame supreme dressing was very good. Thumbs up! The Half & Half Plate is beef and chicken with the same choices as above. If you can't make up your mind, the Chicken and Beef Plate is the way to go. They give you a lot of meat on the plate dishes so you'll definitely get your fill of protein. The chicken is okay on its own, but once you top it with some the Happy Sauce, it's amazing! The Happy Sauce really does make everything happy whether it is meat, vegetables, or rice. The beef was perfectly marinated and cooked. It was just great all by itself with some rice. This version also comes in a mini or regular bowl option too. Thumbs up! read more

Just ok. If you want similar food with a better flavor go ahead and go to Waba Grill. The place always look really empty .. employees included and they just don't seem very interested or excited to be there to be serving who comes into the restaurant. I would only go back to this place if it was my only option and I was starving in the middle of the desert with no other place to go read more

Good beef, chicken, rib plates and bowls Never had a bad meal, the og flamebroiler around here and still my favorite read more

Small location. Small parking lot. If you are looking to eat inside, you will have to settle for a spot on the long counter facing the window. Only one single table/chair available. So, disregard this place if you are seeking an establishment to leisurely sit down and enjoy a meal. But, otherwise, everything else is "A" material. Food is fresh and healthy. Portions are enough to satisfy one's hunger. And, pricing is reasonable....Especially if you can get your hands on a coupon! read more

Old owner was my favorite, she was so sweet and funny. This one is still good but not my favorite anymore. The one real complaint I had is that half of my half and half bowl is cabbage.. Does anyone actually like cabbage after more than a few pieces? read more

Staff: A+ always friendly, polite, and professional (from my experience). Food: A+ for being "fast food," this place is a healthy and delicious option. I've always been satisfied by their food. Location: A- clean on the inside; parking is very limited, fyi. read more

Consistently good teriyaki bowls. What's more to say about grilled chicken, green onions, and teriyaki sauce? Oh yes, you can switch up your rice to brown if you're feeling healthy. You can also add some beef to your chicken and get a COMBO bowl.... Flamebroiler thanks for making me make healthy choices....kinda haha read more

Ok. So let me start by saying the service is amazing. I think I've been about 5 times to this location. There's a tall Asian guys there. He's the best. He always smiles. Never rude. He will chat with you. He's a cool dude. I like going there because I always take enough of the sauce for my meal. They never give me attitude. I feel comfortable coming here. The food is good. I'm a fan of flame broiler so I like the food anyway. But the customer service is what makes this location the best. read more

Love Flame Broiler! Healthy, fast, very clean, reasonably priced and friendly. I'm walking distance and this is my favorite go-to take out. All four of my kids prefer Flame Broiler over any other take out. It's so good I always ask for chopsticks because it makes me eat slower! read more

YUMMM,I wish there was one in Santa Barbara! Whenever I go down south,I try to stop at a Flame Broiler. Fresh steamed veggies on top of brown rice with grilled chicken drizzled with teriyaki sauce...it's healthy and less than 600 calories! read more

Healthy eating is a choice so I have to say this is a good option for is healthy eaters. Magic Sauce, spicy sauce and Soy sauce are the option also green onions. Bowls or plates , beef or chicken are your main choices. I finished the plate and they also increased the size of their plates way to step it up. It's good you'll like it for sure and will find your way back creeping into one near you. They have sprouted like weeds of a plant all over. read more

See all

I've been to this Flame Broiler at least 20 times over the past five years, and have NEVER been disappointed. Great food and service. One of the men who worked there recognized me during several of my stops and he always made it a point to say "hello" and go out of his way to ask how I've been. Inside there isn't much seating, so be aware if making a stop here. The drive through works fine as well if you don't have time to step inside. read more

Lacking customer service !! I walked in there was no line yet no one acknowledged me or greeted me..stood there for about 2 minutes and walked out. I wish we were able to give a rating less than 1 star because they don't even deserve that and this is supposed to be the original location ?! That was my first impression of the establishment and I will never return. The restaurant decor needs an upgrade the staff needs to be upgraded as well ASAP ! read more

Best chicken bowl around!! I've been a customer here since the beginning, around the mid to late 90's! Always good, quick and a simple menu!! Chicken, brown, no veggies, with onion! And the green (garlic) hot sauce! Do it! Lastly, not to mention, it's ORIGINAL Flame Broiler location!! read more

The original location, they have a 3x hot sauce that they only serve here as well as kimchi and other stuff they try on the menue sometimes, this is the one to go to, always friendly people working here too read more

fast , friendly, cheap, healthy, yum. cha-ching! the place has a sort of grimy feel to it but I dgaf. Anywhere that has huge ass bottles of hot sauce is cool in my book. read more

Pretty small location, but the food and service is good! In my opinion much better than the one on commonwealth. This place has lots of sriacha (rooster sauce, is what i call it) sauce! read more

I attended the nearby high school. As a result, I frequently went here for lunch or after school. Really, some of the best teriyaki around. Unlike most other teriyaki places that tend to just boil their meat, they grill their chicken and beef to perfection, with just the right amount of charring on the outside. They put just the right amount of teriyaki sauce on the meat, so as not to be too over powering. The best part was the side of green onions. I always put extra as it really completes the entire meal. I remember this place as being really busy, especially during the lunch hours. This is due to its proximity to several colleges and high schools in the area. Since moving away from the area they have expanded to several locations. I have tried the other locations but I'm still convinced that their original Fullerton location is the best. read more

I love this place especially the one in Fullerton. My friend meg and I go religiously and the Korean lady already knows who we are and what we order. I love her!! And! I love the fact that you can chose brown rice instead of white rice and white chicken vs darker chicken. great fast food place read more

Been meaning to write this review for a while! This is hands down the best flame broiler I've been to out of every single other franchise in the state. Then meat is always freshly cooked and tender, the vegetables are always cooked just right, and the rice is never stale. Management is extremely friendly, and highly accommodating. Parking can sometimes be an issue but to no fault of the business, and it is worth it. read more

Mmm, yeah. Flame Broiler. It's cheap, delicious and relatively good for you. This particular location has a really small parking lot, so don't try to drive your Hummer up in there. There is a convenient drive-thru on Euclid and Commonwealth in Fullerton, previously a Walgreens. read more

I miss this place! Very good charbroiled meats in bowls and plates. Average quality meats but it's done up right. Service is a little slow if there's a line but it's ok. *shrugs, it's better than fast food. read more

Everything is cooked well enough but they don't cook the meat in the sauce? Strange how every Flame Broiler does it differently. I know the one on St. College and La Palma will cook the meat in the sauce, but the one on Commonwealth and Euclid also doesn't. Maybe you have to ask... read more

I don't what anyone else says, when I was poor, hungry and needed something that tasted better than cardboard; Flame Broiler always hit the spot and helped me get through my hella broke days. (I only have so many variations of ramen and spaghetti you know). Even though they are here in San Diego, it's just not the same as the tiny hole-in-the-wall like in Fullerton compared to the big shopping center in La Jolla. But I'd still eat there too. read more

You can never go wrong at FB. I love that you can call in your order ahead of time. Always healthy and a great price!

5 Star rating because not only is the food good here, but I love the Little Asian Lady who runs the place! She is so nice, and funny!!! That type of service will definitely get customers for LIFE! Thank You! read more

The Flame Broiler on Chapman is a bit of a mess. Literally. I've really tried to make it work... To be fair, some of isn't their fault, like the awful, dirty, impossibly tiny parking lot filled with gigantic Ford Exterminators, etc, parked in compact spaces. However, once inside, the food is quite good, if one can overlook the not so clean dining room. Since this place is walking distance from my office, I never drive there any more, nor do I eat in-house. Maybe it's just me, but when the windows look like hell, the whole place seems dirty. OK, back to the food - I prefer the Brea location, but the chicken dishes here are above average. Still, it seems like once a month or so is all I can handle of this location, and it's no fun in the summer when the sun blazing in through those windows makes the place feel like a cheap sauna. read more

I used to go here almost twice a week for lunch. The Asian lady that runs it is always super nice and jokes around. The food itself is good, I usually get the chicken bowl with brown rice and add in some hot and teriyaki sauce. read more

First Flame Broiler that I went to. In my opinion they have the best tasting roasted chicken for a place like this. Always one of my favorite places for lunch. read more

I have dined at this location a few times over the years so I have a baseline for my review. Today, I ordered the steak bowl, which is my typical go-to menu item. I got it to go and drove back to work. I open the lid and right away the steak look like bone-dry jerky. As I ate the steak, I was very disappointed in the quality, texture, and taste of the meat. Even the rice this time was mushy and like a solid chuck of rice. While I understand its fast food, this was just plain ol' bad. I could choke down half of the bowl and tosses the rest out. read more

Neighbors!!!! Do not eat at this Flame Broiler!!! My husband and I ordered 2 chicken bowls, no rice. The chicken was pre-cooked and they just warmed it up on the grill. When my husband asked for fresh chicken, the pulled out a few pieces of pre-boiled chicken and cooked it on the grill. They were NOT happy about this request. We paid $14.47 for two bowls with mostly cabbage, 2-3 pieces of broccoli and a couple of pieces of carrots. The chicken was tasteless and the services people were rude. I have enjoyed Flame Broiler food until now. If it weren't for the extra we paid for the veggies (ahem - if you can call 90% cabbage "veggies") I would not have wasted my time posting this. If there was a way for me to post pictures, I would. They tell the story WAY better than this post could ever tell it. read more

This is the Original Flame Broiler, I have tried others but nothing comes close to this locations quality and freshness.
