Haven't been to a Flame Broiler in over 10 years, and since I had a craving for a rice bowl and I've been trying to eat healthier I decided to order delivery from this location. The food: NAE Chicken Plate comes with a shredded cabbage salad and a half of an orange, along with a sizable amount of grilled chicken and your choice of white or brown rice and steamed veggies. Mini NAE Chicken Bowl comes with your choice of rice and mixed veggies and a much smaller portion of grilled chicken compared to the plate. It's a great size for kids or for those with smaller appetites. Mini Half and Half Bowl comes with your choice of any two meats: I chose steak bulgogi and organic tofu. My Thoughts: Bowls were very basic, standard run-of-the-mill rice bowls. The meats are marinated but not sauced. Sauces are added by the customer. The Magic Sauce is essentially teriyaki sauce. Wasn't very sweet, had a saltier profile. My preference would have been to be more on the sweeter than the saltier side. I also tried the hot sauce and the jalapeño hot sauce. They were both very vinegary, not very spicy, but along with the magic sauce I thought it was just okay. I did not receive the sweet sesame dressing that I ordered on the side nor was any on my salad so unable to review. The chicken was very fatty and had a few pieces of gristle here and there, so it made it very unappetizing to eat. Used the magic sauce for additional flavor but it was just too salty for my palate. The steak bulgogi was tender and lean, not fatty at all, which I liked. It had a light marinade flavor in the meat that was noticeable and tasty. I preferred the steak over the chicken. The tofu was terrible and I normally like tofu, but this one had an odd chewiness to it that wasn't appealing. It was also very dry and flavorless. Would not get again. The steamed vegetables consisted of broccoli, carrots, and cabbage. Very very bland. No oil, butter, or seasoning. Again, tried it with some of the magic sauce but it was just too salty for my liking. The food didn't WOW me and I expected more from the sauces, but was slightly disappointed overall. I probably won't return to another Flame Broiler for another 10 years or so. read more

I love the chicken and veggie bowl with brown rice. The food is fresh and the chicken doesn't have any gross cartilage pieces. Definitely recommend the sauce and green onions. Service is fast and friendly. read more

First, I work around the corner so I come here quite often. Today was bad. I ordered through the website before going. When I got there I looked where they usually put ordered meals, but just some boxes were there. Nothing let me know it was ready so I waited for 10 min before asking and them finding my lunch on the bottom of the rack, that I never would have found. They also had no AC when it was 100° outside so it was uncomfortable, but I was also worried if the food was OK because it was probably pretty warm in the kitchen. I took my lunch back to work. Some of the rice was under cooked and dry. Then I found the hairs. Not just one, but 2, long curly hair wrapped into the food. There's no way it was mine. So gross. I immediately threw it all away. Really ridiculous for a meal that was $17, not including a drink. It may be a while before I can go back. read more

I really enjoy this location! The staff are lovely and the food is great. The consistency is a joy, being able to look forward to a great meal. I love the flavour of the Beef Bulgoki and the chicken is always tasty. Today I tried the Spicy Korean Chicken with half Tofu. It's good!! It's also really spicy-as in my ears hurt but I couldn't stop eating. Some sour cream would go far towards tempering the heat. But the chicken was tender and the tofu had that delicious chewiness I love. The spirit of the place is loose and easy. read more

be careful with Take Out. I ordered spicy chicken with no rice all veggies and got back to my office with a half full bowl. check before you leave. read more

I stopped in with my 82 year old sister. She ordered a mini bowl with tofu, rice and d avocado. It came with onions that she can't tolerate and missing the avocado. I pointed out the mistake and the cashier/server apologized and made it right immediately. All good. Everyone makes mistakes, and they made good on it. Later, I came back in to get my stainless sipper filled with soda, and she surprised me by COMPing the soda! That's what customer service looks like! Good job, Flame Broiler! read more

Received Terrible customer service from the young male working the kitchen in the back. Cut off an elderly lady when she asked for the code to the restroom and refused to comply with a simple request of asking for a sauce that is stored in the back. My bowl was served skimpishly and the attitude was extremely appalling and offensive even for a gen Z. If you hate your job work somewhere else. read more

Flame Broiler - Normally served to the top - Japanese Near Me - Redlands, California

Pretty solid food quality. I've been to a couple flame broiler locations and this one is nice each time. Service is also efficient for me every time I go. I'm not sure if it's an update but you can't do your own sauce anymore-- this isn't a problem though they just have them pre-done and you let them know how many. I personally have never sat inside here to eat but it seems clean if you wanted to dine in. I usually get half and half bowls and sometimes add avocado. The bowl is like $10 before tax. The additional avocado charge is literally $2.45 though, extremely ridiculous. read more

Was not a fan. Food tasted off looked off than I got diarrhea. Service was quick and friendly however

It's been a long while as these are not in nor cal. This was my second choice as the fast food Japanese place was not so appealing. Then I remembered FB has always been consistent. Menu offers several choice and bowls, plates, combos. Pricing is reasonable for the selections. went 7oz protein plate. White rice. Veggies and cabbage. skipped the fruit. Cashier was friendly. Place was average clean. Sat at table and enjoyed. Tasty, fresh, cooked to order chicken plate. read more

I just left flame broiler and i must say i received the best service from Jeremiah. Ive been there multiple times with my baby/toddler and have never been offered help to carry my order to my car. Jeremiah went above and beyond seeing that i had my hands full with my little one and made sure to even secure it in a safe spot in the car. Thanks so much Jeremiah! read more

I love the food of Flame Broiler. My experience was bad because they had a promotion sign in their window. It advertised a 20 oz free drink with purchase of any bowl or plate 2-5 pm weekdays and all day weekends. I ordered a mini chicken bowl at 11 am on Sunday. I was not allowed to get a free drink. I was told it was only for a regular bowl. I referred to the sign that said "any" bowl. Then I was told it was only from 2-5 pm on weekdays. I referred to the sign that said all day weekends. I was told the sign was again wrong. So I left! read more

Flame Broiler - Menu - Japanese Near Me - Redlands, California

Normally love this place, unfortunately they couldn't remember to give me any sauce even though they asked what sauce I wanted. Make sure you check before leaving. I called them and they told me to deal with it. Just a little upsetting because they used to allow you to get your own sauce. Please change it back if your employees can't remember to give customers what they asked for. read more

Shoutout to the manager Janet, i feel like once she took over management the food and service has been great. She is always helping her customers and employees very prompt and patiently. Bravo! read more

Had never been here before. It was early and I was craving waba but it wasn't open yet so I decided to try flame broiler instead. People kept telling me they were almost the same food. The woman working was very nice, but that is where the good ended and the just ok started. I ordered what I order from waba, the half chicken half steak veggie bowl with brown rice. The food was just ok. The meat was fatty and the veggies were really undercooked. I struggled to finish it. Bottom line, there is no comparison and from now on I will stick to what I know and like. read more

I went there for dinner before work and the service was friendly and fast but when I opened my plate there was hardly any beef or chicken on the plate and with the price of almost $20 for a plate with avocado added I felt cheated plus the broccoli and carrots were raw and cold. I used to eat at the flame broiler by the Kaiser Fontana and never felt cheated out of the meat but this one was very disappointing. read more

The best food I ever had! I got the beef veggie with white rice and avocado. The food is so tasty and delicious! I highly recommend if you are in this area you have to stop by and try the food out! read more

Second time I order from here. My bowl is not filled up all the way. Very few pieces of chicken. Idk if they are cutting cost? I also ordered extra chicken on the side and that container was filled up only half way. read more

The food was good but very small portions we got steak chicken mix my hubby got dark meat he ordered me white breast chicken because I'am a fan of breast meat. But I have to say I preferred his chicken over mine because mine lacked flavor and it was so dry I was choking. The staff were not very friendly or anything just took our order and next service is nothing special at all! I hope that maybe i just came on an off day so i would try it again in hopes that they will not be greedy next time around and I defiantly will be getting the thigh meat instead of the breast meat! read more

What's the deal with the AC unit at this location ?? I've gone 3 times this week and still super hot! I feel bad for the employees and cook having to work with the doors open and just dealing with the heat ! I hope he's paying them extra because even with this heat those employees are keeping up with orders!! read more

Any Flame Broiler you go to, it will be consistently good. This store is no exception, very busy but also very quick, they get you in and out. Try the Korean Spicy Chicken, it's tasty! Add the hot hot sauce and your lips will be on fire, in a good way. read more

Horrible customer service at the register. Walked in, zero customers, man at the register standing there looking annoyed to even be there, was extremely rude. Cut me off while ordering, rolled his eyes wherever possible. He also was annoyed that I asked for sauce when both containers were empty. Mind you, cleaning the restaurant and making sure the sauce containers are filled should be something that's done when it is slow like it was when I walked in. Will not be returning. read more

The lady working Here is so nice and funny af would deff eat here again food was bomb too

Perfect for a healthy lunch option compared to eating fast food. This is very affordable for the quality of food you're getting. Your food is made to order and you can choose from either grilled chicken or angus beef over white or brown rice, and you also have the option to add veggies. There's plenty of seating here but I wouldn't recommend it for dining with a large group during lunch hour on a weekday. But it's great for to-go orders and you can call your order ahead. Parking might be tough to find especially if you come during lunch and the best way to get out of this plaza (whichever direction you're headed) is to exit on Redlands Blvd instead of Alabama. Overall, great grilled food, great price, easy-to-find. read more

I got a regular bowl, and this is it. It isn't even half way filled up, and this includes the rice. They're def stingy with even the cheapest part of the meal. And their "hot sauce" is super weak. I should have just gotten a sandwich next door. read more

This review is for customer service. I always feel awful for coming in right before a business closes but it sounded so good and we were on our way home. Walked in and not joking ...like 10 people walked in right after us. There were only 2 employees working. Mia was our cashier and she was going back and forth taking orders and working her butt off in the kitchen. She had a smile on her face and was so kind...and not an ounce of sarcasm and frustration at how busy they got. It's such a hard time for workers right now that we all need to be patient and kind back to them. Everywhere is short staffed but tonight, these two did an amazing job, especially right before closing. read more

Loveee this area! The food was amazing , and Ethan gave the best service. Definitely would recommend..

I was just there to order dinner to take home to my family and it took me awhile to get the order straight.

It's hard to find great customer service these days and because of him I would go back...well...him and the food was great as well! read more
