Flame Broiler - Korean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I love their food but I recently began seriously measuring my food intake where I am literally weighing my food (I know its a bit drastic) but Flame Broilers has been a go to eatery when I didnt meal prep. The last 4times I have not gotten the amount of protein that is stated on the menu/I am paying for. Mini Bowl (3oz.) Reg Bowl (5oz.). I've mentioned it to the person taking my order a couple of times now. Im just a bit disappointed that I am not getting all of what I am paying for! read more

Flame Broiler - Korean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I was hesitant to try this place, not sure why. If you are a meat lover, DO IT!! The beef and chicken with brown rice was amazing!! I love sweet meats so I ordered extra Magic Sauce (it seems to be a mix of soy/teriyaki). It was all delicious. This will now be one of my go-to's! read more

Flame broiler is funny. It operates under the pretense of being a healthy restaurant, but they serve huge bowls of rice. That's 100 G's of simple carbs brother. Having said that, I eat about one rice bowl here a week and they are really tasty. There are essentially two menu items: rice bowls and rice plates. They are pretty much the same but the plates are a little bigger, and come with a sesame cabbage slaw. You can choose white or brown rice, and they scoop chicken, beef, vegetables or beef short ribs on top. That's the entire menu. The chicken is marinated and has a little more flavor. The steak comes in chewy strips, and if it's overcooked it's not the best. The chicken is generally a little more consistent. The veggies include steamed cabbage, broccoli and carrots. My go to is the works bowl, which is half brown rice-half veggies topped with steak, chicken and green onions. For $6.45 it's a deal, and it's a pretty big meal. It's pretty rare that I can finish one in a single sitting. The people are nice and the food seems like a good value. I don't really understand the hype about the magic sauce. It's really salty, and mostly tastes like soy. I'd definitely try it before dumping it on your food. read more

I say it's best to go with the chicken veggie bowl or the works. Me and the boyfriend grabbed this since we were in the area. Seems like a typical Korean bbq joint. Everything comes with a choice of meat and an option to throw in some veggies on top of rice. You can't go wrong. The special sauce, just get it. Get two cups of it, dump on rice bowl, and devour. Don't ask any questions. Just get the sauce. read more

I have been to this place about half a dozen times over the past 4 months. Each time I have had the same thing and had the same quality. I get a regular chicken bowl, brown rice, and veggies. I put about a tablespoon of magic sauce on it (if that). I can barely finish the regular size bowl. Now, every time we have gone here I have had a coupon that comes in those junk mail flyers that everyone probably throws out. You can get 2 regular chicken bowls for $9.99 or 20% off purchase, etc. So with tax it's like $11 for two. It's an awesome deal to me. Also, the staff is pretty good. Never had an issue with rudeness or anything. read more

Great casual lunch spot! The food is served very quickly and is always very good. Filling and tastes great! Limited menu but they do it right. read more

This is one of those places I've had bookmarked for a while and finally got around to. Something to remember is that there is way more parking out back and they even have a back entrance. Based on what I'd seen on yelp, I went with the chicken and veggie bowl with brown rice. I also grabbed some magic sauce because it seemed like every single review mentioned how great it is. I was in before the lunch rush (around 11:20am) but I could see how it would get crazy during the lunch rush. The food came out pretty quickly (it took maybe five minutes?) and was nice and warm. The serving size is pretty good compared to similar places. I actually like that it's pretty basic when it's served to you so you can really control the sauce situation. The chicken was tasty, the veggies were in that perfect place where they're cooked but not mushy (mushy veggies are a huge pet peeve of mine), and the brown rice was well cooked but not crunchy (for some reason a lot of places seem to struggle with brown rice). So this sounds pretty positive, why only 3 stars? The big reason happened when I was about halfway finished. I had poured a bit of sauce on top and it clearly wasn't enough. I was sitting near the little bar seating area and they had a sauce dispenser there (in addition to the ones up front near the soda fountain). I walked over to grab some and as soon as I put my hand on the handle, quite a few (maybe 15?) tiny gnats or flies or something started flying around. It really freaked me out, to the point that I couldn't manage to finish my food. The place was also incredibly loud. The music was loud and (I suppose because of the design of the place or maybe the floor?) every time someone adjusted their chair it seemed to echo through the room. If you're looking to go the fast food-ish route, it's not a bad choice (everything is relative, right?) but I don't think I'd go out of my way to eat there again. read more

It's simplicity at its best. Straight and narrow. Healthy option and is delicious without all of the sodium unless you dump the sauce over the bowl. The chicken was delicious! Would definitely go back. read more

I ordered from here using Uber eats and I have to say it was pretty good! I was happy with my plate and I ordered a bowl to have for lunch the following day which I was happy with as well. Could use a bit more veggies and a bit less rice for the portion but that is just my opinion :) overall I was happy! read more

Flame Broiler is pretty awesome considering the price and quality. The food is quick, fresh and extremely tasty. It's basically fast food with a lot of flavor, but healthy. I really like the Korean beef with a mixture of their two sauces. One is a hot sauce and one is a soy based sauce type thing. Both times I've been there, I replace the rice with double cabbage and veggies. The portions are great and you will be filled up! By the way, the price is very cheap. read more

LA style kalbi! I've been wishing for a rice bowl place like this ever since I've moved back home from LA. it's not the best kbbq place i've ever been too but good enough! I always ask for extra meat! For inexpensive rice bowls or platters, to satisfy your Korean BBQ cravings.. AND if youre looking for a quick bite to eat! Go here! Oh n don't forget their sauce! read more

The service was fast and food was really good. This will be one of my office's Friday lunch places!

What happens when you haven't been to Flame Broiler for a long time and you finally make it back in? You might get a little overzealous with the Magic Sauce. At least I did. It's been quite some time since I've had a magical bowl of protein & rice. I happened to be in Park of Tapestry to drop off some paperwork and I was hungry. It was after the lunch rush so Flame Broiler was empty. Walked right in, ordered myself a bowl and in a few minutes had a nice meal of grilled chicken & brown rice. Lots of chicken - which is always nice. Sometimes in these type places when you're only paying $6 or so, you can feel a little jipped on the protein. Plenty of rice to mix it with in the bowl. Clean place, friendly staff. For a last minute stop, I couldn't have been happier. Tummy was happy, but I did end up tossing the last bit of rice in the can. Not because it was bad, but because - like I said - I got a little overzealous with the Magic Sauce. read more

Great place for a quick, healthy lunch. Terri, who works the front counter is helpful and friendly.

The Works Bowl: Flame broiler sauce-basted chicken and marinated beef. Served with steamed veggies, brown rice, sweet tea. First time back in over a year since moving to Texas. Snazzy location, tucked away, parking not an issue. Steady flow of customers, but not crowded at 1pm on a Monday. Bowl is deceptively deep. Portion was filling without feeling stuffed afterwards. Magic sauce and hot sauce adds that little bit of flavor to the meal. There was also a third sauce, not sure exactly what it was, most likely a salad dressing of some sort. Wish there was a location where we live in Texas. read more

Great place for a quick meal that's healthy too. Aaaand apparently my review is too short so I guess I'll add that it's not a big place and definitely not a fancy place but food is still good and healthy. I've gone back numerous times! read more

We used to get Flame Broiler quite regularly, especially when it first opened. We liked the flavor of the food and the simple menu. I usually order the half and half with chicken and beef while my wife like their chicken bowl. We sometimes order their rib platter as well, which is pretty tasty. However, the last couple of times, the rice was really mushy and the meat a bit dry. I hope the food is not on a steady decline. The value (portion, flavor, pricing) is pretty decent. But if we continue to get subpar quality of food, I don't think we'll go back. It would be a shame because it is a great quick eats that is fairly healthy and delicious. read more

So after reading the reviews online and wanting a quick meal, we decided to stop in before closing time. The menu was fairly simple, and the prices were even better! Ordered the beef ribs platter along with the chicken and veggie bowl. Both items came out quick. Meat was very tasteful and juicy! I would go back again! Hope they migrate south to Miami! read more

The food is great.. Everything on the menu is great. The service is a different story. Called in an order and was told it will take 20-25 minutes, I get there 45 minutes later and they haven't even started on it. And the cook was rude. read more

Ok. I've been here twice so that's gotta mean its good right? Well if you're eating out all the time, having something not overly seasoned and more on the lighter side can be a good thing. Traditional Korean restaurant its not but on the go and wanting something healthy to eat I'd recommend this place. Ambience: Fast Food read more

The food was really good, price was decent, location ideal, and service provided was great. Only four stars because the "magic sauce" was so much weaker than the build up. It's soy and teriyaki maybe? More soy than anything else. People were crowding around the sauce machines and literally took an entire bag filled with cups of them. The place was small but seemed to accommodate well during a rather busy lunch time. read more

Service is fast here, food is pretty good especially if you want to keep it somewhat healthy. I love mixing my bowls with magic sauce and hot sauce. read more

Consistent and decent. I like the spicier sauces but the catering left a bit to be desired as far as service is concerned. Offer everything when you can. read more

This place, my happy place! So easy to eat low glycemic or low carb ~or switch it up for a carb load if needed. But you will have a healthy meal either way. Everything is delicious but my fav is a regular chicken bowl with less brown rice and more cabbage. Add some hot sauce and magic sauce...your taste buds won't even know you're eating healthy!! read more

Flame Broiler - Korean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Simple fresh and healthy. It's perfect food that's always quick. I eat here at least once a week

Removing all bias, this food just was not tasty at all. Without the small side of "sauce" to flavor AND MOISTEN my meat with, the flavor was below average and the meat was unnecessarily dry. I had a bowl with chicken and steak which were both dry. I couldn't even move myself to PRETEND it tasted better than it did. The veggies had ZERO flavor, and interestingly, they were ALSO DRY! I mean, how does one REMOVE moisture from items cooked using MOISTURE!!!?! You pretty much STEAM these vegetables, right??? GUESS NOT! Sheesh! Overall moral of the story is: I hated it (and I don't even use that phrase!) (Except here!) Would I go to The Flame Broiler again? No Would I recommend The Flame Broiler to others? NO! ___________________________ REVIEW: REVIEW | The Flame Broiler [Jacksonville, FL] Let Me SPEAK! read more

Simple menu but enough for me to come back time and time again. They usually have Groupon good for 2 separate orders of the plates without any extra transaction in-store so if you're just trying this place out you have that option. Without it the max you'll spend here is $10 plus tax. Not bad at all. read more

Cheap, tasty and healthy...what's not to love? Chicken or beef, with or without veggies, with or without green onions over brown or white rice. Nothing fried. No MSG. Your mom will be proud. And for six bucks?!?! Fuggedaboutit...and don't forget the magic sauce. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this fast food chain in Tapestry Park. The Flame Broiler offers quick, cheap, and, get this, HEALTHY takeout with all the pomp and ambiance of a Burger King. Appearances aside, the meat and veggies were seasoned and cooked well. I'm usually picky about beef and, when it comes to food under $10, I rarely go there at all. But Flame Broiler might be an exception to that rule from now on. I ordered The Works bowl, which is a sizeable cup of rice, meat, and sauteed veggies like cabbage, carrots, and broccoli all piled in together. Great option when you're on the go and on a diet, (not that I can ever stick to one of those!) I'll be back! Oh, and if you try Flame Broiler, do hit up the sauce bar. Magic Sauce is the jam. read more

This place is the land of contradiction. They bill themselves as Korean BBQ (which I am no expert on) but where is the Kimchi? Really, they should call themselves Grilled Meat on Rice. You cannot get a Flame Broiled hamburger, hot dog, chicken or fish sandwich so that name if definitely misleading. That aside, what they do is a tasty alternative to traditional fast food. I'm not a big veggie fan and have not even tried them, thus no comment. I've had the chicken and combo bowls a couple times, and I must say I love the flavor, especially with the Magic sauce. The chicken can be a bit gristly and is usually borderline over cooked. If you do not like the taste of a dirty (in a good way) grill, do not eat here. My experience with the combo bowl was that I can absolutely pass on the beef; it is thin, stringy and destined for a temporary home between your teeth. Are raw green onions that delicious? Am I missing out on something? Take note, that they will put green onion on everything (post cooking) unless you ask otherwise. So, I really want to love the place and I do truly like it and will return but here are a few things that will leave you feeling like you only want to be a "friend." It is small and can get really crowded and loud at lunch. The line will get in the way of you trying to fill or refill your drink and the napkin dispensers (all two of them) are something to loath. They remind me of the little dispensers of square toilet tissue my elementary school had installed (i.e. frustrating as can be). Furthering the dining experience is that when you get a "bowl" they hand you the bowl, all alone, no tray. Not a big deal until you try to eat with the flimsy little plastic forks. As you knife-lessly battle the gristle, the likelihood of spilling your tasty morsels over the side and onto the table are high, make that very high. Eating here takes careful hand/eye coordination and patience. The final insult comes from the religious music playing overhead. If I was thinking of converting or needed spiritual uplifting, I'd go to church or join a cult. Finally, regarding the price, it is ok, nothing out of line with most current lunch spots and I'm surprise they can actually cover their pseudo-swank location (really, it use to be cow pasture and titanium mines). If the Don Yang Inn in Wahiawa, HA can deliver a plate of true Korean BBQ goodness for $6.50, why can't someone on the mainland do it? I know this sounds like lots of complaining, but the Flame Broiler really is a nice, affordable diversion, absolutely worth a try. I just wish they would address all the little things. read more

Came back 2-3 other times. Still consistently delicious! The white rice is kinda dry... I usually prefer the taste of white to brown, but here, the brown rice is better. read more

Overpriced Asian food. We had 3 take out. It was about 30ish. The portion was small as well. Unless you have a coupon there I wouldn't recommended going for the price and quality. Quality wise. The food was standard. The side salad was pretty much all iceberg lettuce. So it wasn't great. Overall I'm not impressed. Most likely wouldn't come back read more

Decided to eat here on my lunch break. The place was clean and the service was fast. Ordered a regular bowl of the chicken with brown rice and veggies to go. My only issue was the portion size. My bowl had barely any chicken and veggies, not to mention the bowl wasn't even half full (compared to other Yelpers photos). For paying $7.12 I would have expected to at least get more chicken... read more

I was pleased with Flame Broiler and concur that the prices are very reasonable whatever one prefers: a small bowl or a large meal and a drink. However, the food is severely lacking in flavor. The vegetables are completely bland and taste like they were frozen and have not been properly thawed before reheating. The cabbage was just that, cabbage with nothing else. Definitely uninspired meal items. The meat is good and not too dry but lacks the powerful flavors of Korean BBQ. As a quick lunch place it is sufficient, but if you are in search of a very good Korean BBQ experience with a nice sized bento box, head to Samwon Garden, that place is phenomenal. Flame Broiler is good but not incredible by any stretch of the imagination. read more

For price, amount of food and how its prepared I enjoying coming here. It's rare to get an option of brown rice and I love how this place gives you that option. I purchased the works and throughly enjoyed it. Love the magic sauce but not to fond of the hot sauce. Service is quick and efficient. read more

It was good food, fast service, and cheap. What more could you ask for? Delicious! Definitely a fan.

I've heard of this place being really good but it wasn't my favorite. I ordered the rib plate. I've had a lot better. Sam Won Korean BBQ/Sushi Bar off University is a better recommendation. read more

This location has amazing customer service. The employees are always smiling and are the reason for returning. I would give it ten stars if I could :-) read more
