This place is so good! They have decently priced food with great quality control. They offer a super simple menu where the items always taste fresh. I used to get the beef rice bowl with brown rice, but ever since I've been eating healthier I opt in for the veggie bowl with chicken. I admit they both taste great although I'll always love beef more. There's always plenty of seating inside and outside as well. It's located across the street from the community college so you can access the restaurant with convenience. The service is always good, it's never too friendly but they're never mean or rude or anything like that. I can't complain. It may come across as unwelcoming at times, especially when you call to order. The inside is a little dated but I don't think that really matters much as long as I'm getting good food for a reasonable price. Oh, and if you want your order quick; you should probably place the order in person regardless of how long it'll take you to get there. I don't think they make the phone orders until you're there anyways, because they always take longer. Anyways, stop by here, it's good! I just wish they would add a reward system or something like that. I know it's a franchised spot, but maybe they'll consider that one day. It would incentivize me to eat here more often. read more

The half and half bowl is what I normally get it's really good always enjoy the food here well made and the restaurant is always clean and well maintained read more

Literally waited 30mins for two bowls. There's just no way it should take that long esp when there's only 3 customers.. and me being the 2nd one lol. Smh. read more

My family and I love Flame Broiler. We usually get the chicken bowl with white rice and veggies. The food is fresh and healthy. The woman behind the counter was helpful and sweet. read more

I've been to other Flame Broiler franchise locations, and this location is the best. The perfect amount of chicken, cooked perfectly, and the quality of the food at this particular location is the best of all Flame Broiler locations. Overall, it makes me wonder if quality control is a problem with Flame Broiler due to the inconsistencies in quality among the different franchise locations. I didn't do a review on the other locations, because it looks like they're barely getting by. read more

Flame Broiler - Inside - Fast Food Near Me - Glendale, California

The food and the service of flame broiler was very good I was greeted by a welcoming server and they had my food out very fast. I stepped outside and was met with my car getting towed, Not a single person working at the plaza was helpful from the security guards all the way to the owner of the plaza I wanted to come and enjoy my food but instead I was met with a penalty for wanting to eat my food which none of it makes sense it all just felt like a quick money grab from the owner. I do not recommend coming to this plaza unless you want to get your car towed! Such a horrible experience. read more

Mark this review down as the 2nd in a pending series (North Shore is the first) of a number of reviews of businesses that i have passed by by car, on foot, skate boarded by for years without darkening their doors and sampling their wares. Flame Broiler is on the same Island (peninsula?) that also houses a relatively new Starbucks: both across from Glendale college. Today I made a decision to check this joint out and to sample their wares. There are several Flame Broilers around town. This one today was practically empty though the early hour was probably one reason and that it is a college holiday is another. The Physical plant has seating for about 50 people but there is a plaza with tables right outside their door which is shared with other businesses. The Menu is pretty simple and you are offered several choices on what the chicken, Beef or Tofu sits. Meaning: you could order grilled firm Tofu (as i did) and decide if you wanted a veg or white or brown rice or even a combo of both. The Tofu that i ordered as the feature of the bowl (there are 2 sizes of bowl plus an big entree size) i wanted no rice and 100% veg which were well cooked and fresh coin carrots, Broccoli chunks and sliced cabbage. You are offered several sauces: teriyaki, hot sauce which tasted like cholula. The size of the portion is big and the Tofu is well seasoned and broiled. One point is i would have liked to have seen the actual Flame Broiler but everything cooking-wise was behind a wall. The also feature Wings in various order permutations as in a single order or for several people. Pricing is high as is everything these days. My bowl is $9.40. My regular soft drink is $2.80. Service was fast and friendly. I will be back. Cheers! read more

Waiting 45 minutes for a chicken rice bowl is just unacceptable. If you are planning to come here for lunch might as well go to a dine in restaurant, will take shorter or plan running errands between ordering your food and receiving it! read more

I have gotten Flame Broiler several times, and from several different locations. The first thing that stood out to me is how consistent the restaurants are across the board. This is a good thing! The food is consistently good. Teriyaki chicken bowls are a gift to my mouth as far as I'm concerned. I really enjoy them, and I love that they can even be healthy. I appreciate that you have your choice of white or brown rice here (that is not the case at every teriyaki chicken restaurant). The ingredients also seem to always look and taste fresh, which is critical for both chicken and veggies. The only demerit as far as I'm concerned is that they're a bit skimpy on the sauce, and that the teriyaki sauce is a little watery for my preference. Otherwise definite thumbs up here! read more

Came in for a late lunch yesterday, wasn't busy. Surprised because it was right across from the college. Service was fast and the cashier super patient and us. We got the angus beef bowls and decided to try it with kimchi. Which I didn't know they had now. It was delicious! read more

Always a quick and healthy option. Prices are reasonable too. The service is always fast and the food is always good.

This flame broiler has been the flagship for healthy, quick and delicious food for several years. The staff is always polite, punctual , and has never mixed up any of my orders before (I come to this location 2-4x/week) Their chicken and beef bowls are always consistent, and usually served within 10-12 minutes of ordering. They have plenty of sauces, add on options, and alternatives as well. Never had an issue with orders, quality of food or anything else. 5 stars every day to the staff, especially Saul and Luke. read more

Like Sansai and other fast food healthy dining, this is one of the last remaining that are still around. (I've had several close down on me within the last 5 years, and the pandemic ain't helping) I'm glad that this establishment is still operating, and the service guy is very courteous and nice. The meal was up to par as I expected. I ordered two half/half plates, and by far this actually looked better than the others i've had in the past. (including the orange half they serve) Otherwise I'm glad I have one nearby to me again! read more

I've always been a fan of Flame Broiler. I feel like I'm eating healthy fast food. Many options to choose from. Want it with or without veggies? Done! White or brown rice? Done! Chicken or beef? Also done. Want the meat or tofu on a bed of salad instead of rice? DONE! You definitely have to try out all three sauces because your meal isn't complete unless you try it. LOVE THIS PLACE even more so because they joined Five stars. Earn points toward rewards! read more

Flame Broiler - Magic, double hot, and hot sauce - Fast Food Near Me - Glendale, California

I love flame broiler for simple recipe fast foods. Also for this location the staff is well mannered. Thanks for feeding my family, Flame Broiler! read more

I've been to many Flame Broiler locations, and this one is by far the best. At other locations, the tofu just isn't as good! It tastes... undercooked? And I know that it isn't going to be super crispy because it's flame broiled, but it tastes almost barely warmed at other locations. HOWEVER. This location cooks the tofu to perfection. The veggies are always cooked perfect, too. All of the staff is incredibly nice! I don't mind waiting for tofu (usually 10 minutes) but you can call ahead and order, and it's ready by the time I get there every time! I've not had any meat products, but friends who visit that eat here really like their chicken and beef as well. I definitely recommend this location over any other in the Valley. (If you don't trust me, check the other locations Yelp reviews.) My ONLY complaint is I wish they had some kind of reward program because I come here so often! Haha Perfect vegetarian option! Also, try mixing hot sauce and magic sauce. So. Good. read more

Love flame broiler. Throughout my time at GCC, I probably ate at flame broiler 3 times a week. I really enjoyed the nice lady that worked there with her daughter coming some days. I would always order a large chicken plate with brown rice, veggies and an orange. The orange was always super fresh and the perfect cold temperature. I would also add avocados on top of my plate with a side of kimchi. You definitely get more than what you pay for and the sauces they have on the side are so addicting. I usually go with a handful of the orange looking hot sauce they have (it's buffalo sauce) and as well a couple of the spicy green sauces. I only rarely grab the sweet dark sauce but trust me they are all amazing! Love flame broiler read more

Blink and you might be driving in circles to find it or maybe that's just me. It took me a minute to figure which parking lot to go into, but not incredibly difficult to find. It's a little tucked away in a mini plaza with a couple of other restaurants that are trying to hang on. Flame Broiler is always a great option for something tasty, yet still healthy. It's been my staple whenever I'm in training mode because it's an easy way to get fast healthy food that still tastes good. I'm not a fan of magic sauce, but I do love their green hot sauce and their regular hot sauce. My bowls are almost always drenched in them. The people here were friendly and helpful. They do get a little busy during lunch, but it wasn't to bad when I walked in for a take-out order. I highly recommend Flame Broiler for an easy, but still great tasting meal. read more

This place is the best! Well, this location.. always consistent and the cook in the back is so focused and works so hard! Everyone is always so nice and food is always so pretty and fresh! I am so happy I live close by. read more

Shit a hit everytime I go there, sometimes I wish they can well done my shit because the meat don't hit like that lol

I have been going to this place since forever! Every time I would finish class I would walk right over and grab their beef works bowl. They've updated the menu a little bit since but the quality is still amazing! The magic sauce is to die for! Make sure you get plenty along with the hot sauce. You can now purchase the magic sauce for $6! There's plenty of seating inside but usually everyone's on the go and picks up and goes. The food prep is fast most I've waited was 8-10 minutes. Another perk...The place is always clean! read more

Flame Broiler - Angus Beef Bowl with onion, veggies and brown rice - Fast Food Near Me - Glendale, California

Worst customer service! They used to be amazing but with the new stuff customer service is horrible. I loved this place unfortunately I will never return to this location. Very disappointed. I paid for food and just left because of their behavior. Get a new team flame broiler. read more

I love their teriyaki chicken bowl. Very tasty and reasonable priced. For a fast food, I would rather pick Flame Broiler than burgers or taco. I feel that the Flame Broiler food is more nutritious for a fast food. My husband used to drop by while I was holding an Open House and will bring me chicken teriyaki from Flame Broiler. I will highly recommend Flame Broiler! I love their food! So yummy! read more

Well, my low cal lynch was good. No, it was perfect. When you are one a diet, the main thing is not what you are eating, but how much you are eating. I ordered a small bowl, and still didn't finish it, which should be good and enough for guys. Meat was tender, and rice makes a great duo with their sauce, green onions for cresspines and bold flavor. Whay I mainly like, they don't force you too buy a drink with all these marketing and combo things, just get whay you want, and as much as you want. read more

Flame Broiler - Hot as it supposed to be! - Fast Food Near Me - Glendale, California

This place is really good! It's just simple good food. Nothing exciting or special but it's consistently tasty and good. I got the mini bowl which was a decent size. If your starving I'd say get the regular but I wasn't too hungry. I got half tofu and half steak and it was cooked to perfection. The food was FRESH which is what's the most important to me and the staff was super friendly!!! read more

Always great tasting for fast food and dare I say pretty healthy for fast food. I think the only downside might be the sodium but it tastes so good! read more

I really miss the old location on brand blvd because it was across from my office but this one is just as good, food wise. They specialize in broiled meat (beef or chicken) over nicely cooked rice and steamed veggies. It feels very healthy but is also super tasty- especially with some of their patented "magic sauce." It's a more savory, less sweet version of teriyaki. Parking at this location can be hard because it's right across from the college and the lot is small but I've always found a spot when I go after common school hours. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for well over a year now, and I can say it is a really nice place to eat! I was never compelled to write a review, since I usually do it for unknown places, but I once needed change for the bus, and my server was extremely helpful and gave me the change for free, as all I had was a debit card. Truly great customer service and food, highly recommend! They also offer a tofu bowl for my fellow vegetarians in the audience, it's a healthy place to eat as well! read more

Flame Broiler - Delicious Grilled Tofu bowl! - Fast Food Near Me - Glendale, California

Got here at 7:00pm on Thursday and it was closed. Please update your business hour!!!!!!!

They have a very friendly staff ! And they be packing the bowls I do recommend ordering before getting there as the wait time is a bit long if your on a 30min-1hr lunch. Other than that. Really good service read more

For a fast food place, this place is pretty good. Lots of good food that ACTUALLY fills you up, and at a pretty cheap price too. :) I like to enjoy it the the random times I go to Glendale Community College which is right across the street. As well as take it to Verdugo Park, (right across the street as well lol) I think anyone who's a bowl lover or a lover of food in bowls would like it haha. The service is great too. Korean bbq I've had better, but if your looking for a fix of your cravings this is the place to go! If you're also looking for a solid, cheap, and healthy meal. Go for it! :D read more

How have I not been here before?! It's the perfect little restaurant for quick take out! It's right across from the Glendale college campus --so it does get packed. However, I am willing to wait in line because it goes by fast anyways. There are seats indoors, but the tables outside the building is more spacious. The half and half plate (comes with angus steak and chicken) is perfect! I got the mini size and it was enough for a quick lunch! They also do offer brown rice and veggies as an alternative for steamed rice. I really am surprised I haven't been before. Definitely gonna be one of my fave spots to eat! Can't wait to go back :) read more

Flame Broiler - Mini half and half, and then a regular size angus beef bowl. - Fast Food Near Me - Glendale, California

Great place for a quick lunch when I have a break between classes and need food! Came here for the first time today around 11:15 and it wasn't too busy. You can either get chicken, beef, or organic tofu as a protein, and either a mini size, regular, or plate (largest size). I got the mini tofu bowl with brown rice and veggies. Food came out quick and the girl at the cash register was very friendly. Overall I was more thank satisfied and a comfortable level of full. The tofu was flavored and cooked well. It had a nice char to it which gave it some complexity. A little bit of magic and hot sauce and you're good! My only complaint would be that I would have been happier with some more veggies, but they seem open to accommodations so I'll make sure to ask next time. Reasonable prices, fabulous service, and good food. read more

Was visiting some friends in Glendale and wanted a quick bite to eat and my buddy suggested Flame Broiler. I was a bit hesitant because the food looked like Yoshinoya (and I hate that place), but how wrong I was. Food is so much better here. The flame broiling of the meats makes a huge difference! Plus they don't drown their food in that disgusting sweet sauce (although they have some available if you need your food to taste like candy). Food was fresh and healthy. Plus you can get brown rice instead of white rice. Oh, best of all, they have Siracha ("rooster sauce") to help kick it up a notch. It's too bad I live in NY or else I'd be eating here more often. read more

This place offers healthier fast food that's simple yet delicious, with a variety of sauces on the side and customizable options. This particular location is great for students such as myself when I need a quick bite without the guilt. Also, the staff is friendly and they remember their frequent customers. read more

Flame Broiler - Regular sized tofu bowl with white rice, veggies and green onion. - Fast Food Near Me - Glendale, California

Always solid. Been coming for years. Great owner and they keep the quality really consistent.

they found a great niche market Glendale College students had been waiting for ages for a meal worthy of their $5 bill...with the only other Korean BBQ place in town closing down @ the Market place...its the only game in town. Short ribs, Beef, Chicken, Veggies, Kinchi...white or brown rice....they have it all. The service is great too. Just opened up so they are still working hard to get u to be a loyal customer. read more

I love this location!! Everyone is super nice and their new chicken wings are so delicious!! Thanks Flame Broiler!!

This is wayyy better than Hawaiian Ono grill. However, don't expect this to be a top notch korean barbecue (bbq) place. They actually grill the meat here. And you get a cut orange. I haven't had it cut like that for me in ages. Overall, it was a great local meal, cheap, good and healthy. It's a hit or miss. If you like Hawaiian Ono Barbecue, you'll love this place. read more

Solely my opinion, and my opinion only, but I really didn't enjoy the food here. Parking is horrible here. They have far too many places to eat in this small area and just a tiny parking lot. Luckily I found a meter to park at on the street by Wrap Express, it was barely a walk to this place from there. Small restaurant, little seating area. I got a vegetable bowl for my husband and a chicken and veggie bowl for myself. Loaded up on teriyaki and Siracha. My husband commented that the veggies weren't cooked much, naturally he had to add some soy sauce to it, but he isn't exactly a health buff. I, on the other hand, did not enjoy mine either. The chicken tasted rubbery. I made do with the veggies, which I liked more than the chicken. I had to douse my food in the teriyaki just to make it edible. Note to the cashier: please refer to the green onions as green onions and not just onions. I didn't have a lot of time to look at the menu and I kinda already knew what I wanted to get anyway, so the menu wasn't something I was looking at at that time. The cashier asked me if I wanted onions, so I pictured yummy sauteed onion. What I didn't picture was a shit ton of green onion piled up in my bowl. Long wait for your food too at those busy times also. It took me 20 minutes to get my food, not that bad, but when there's nowhere to sit, it sorta gets annoying and you can get impatient. I really wished I could have enjoyed this place better. I guess there's always a next time. read more
