Loving the new tofu option! And serve-your-own-sauce bar is awesome! Fast service and happy staff. Best place to come for a $5 mini bowl that actually fills me up! read more

Flame Broiler - Korean Near Me - Riverside, California

Everytime we come here and order the food is always messed up.. They don't listen to what you order and then they charge you for white meat chicken and end up with dark meat. This place is way to expensive for a bowl of rice and some chicken regardless-the veggie bowl is just as much- they need to reduce there prices and get more organized and learn how to take orders. They are to busy playing on their cell phones to do there jobs here. Won't be back! read more

The food is decent enough to eat, but the best part about it that its healthy as it is advertised. Way better choice than fast food for sure, but it does range about 7-8 bucks. not really a place i would chill and stay to eat, but i use this place on the way back from the gym so it does what i need it to. Its broiling good, but itl flame up your wallet... read more

My mom came to get us some food here to go. They had messed up our order and she noticed when she was there so she told them it was brown rice not white rice so they fixed it. When she got home AGAIN my food was wrong they charged her for half and half bowl and chicken bowl but they gave her both chicken bowls. I tried calling but they NEVER answered. I had called Like about 4 times. This is ridiculous I can't be going back and forth for this!!! read more

If I could give negative stars I would . I don't normally review places even when they're bad. But today was the WORST. I went here on my lunch. First bowl. Chicken. I found a HUGE bone in it. I called and they seemed pretty unconcerned. I asked for a steak bowl and they exchanged it when I got there. Drove back to work for the second time and then I was mortified when I found what looked like a piece of a dirty used mop. Seems to me like someone got mad that I complained about the bone and decided to put something in my steak bowl. This lil piece of fabric blended in perfectly. Again. The guy said (same as the chicken) it comes readily prepared and he would be sure to complain to the manufacturer. Hmmm. What are the odds that I'd find two foreign objects in my food today. ? If these people are putting stuff in people's food cuz they don't like the customer...pretty gross and petty if you ask me. The health department needs to do some inspecting. read more

See all

DAY OLD CHICKEN?????? First time I ordered chicken bowl was delicious. I Ordered a chicken bowl again but this time the chicken was DRY as sand paper, like eating dirt!!! It tasted and looked like pieces of chicken had been thawed andput in to grill to heat up and it was so disappointed and HARD to eat. Dang !!! I don't want one day old chicken if I'm going to pay 10 dlls something for it!! I definitely I won't take the chance to eat coal chicken again I'll most likely find another place. read more

Every time I come here to this particular place the kids that work here are rushing us out at 8 pm we get here and the boy is a manager and nods his head mad because there's more people coming in at almost closing time,he's rushing everyone by mopping close to our feet and sweeping really fast looking at the clock every 5 seconds,I could not eat my food in peace,and I asked the Asian girl to please make my bowl with no sauce because I'm gluten intolerant and she rolls her eyes,and gave it to me and says : it's takes longer to make without sauce I will never come to this p kace again read more

Couldn't be happier with the place. The food is always on point and fresh. Nice staff and quick service!

This is a great location! I call in an order at least once a week for my lunch break and the sweet ladies at the front are the reason I will continue to come here! Working only 5 minutes from the restaurant, they never fail to have it ready and made correctly when I arrive! Not to mention, it's always fresh and taste great! Thank you ladies, I'll be back soon! read more

Don't even go here go to the one on Tyler instead!!! These people are mean I went 30 min before they closed and wanted to dine in and they told us that we couldn't!!! All employees including the owners rushing to close, not to mention they weren't even working in informs how unprofessional and unsanitary! Also another time an hour before closing all chairs all stacked up no where to sit and they had nerve to ask us if we where gonna dine in? Rude. read more

Like always the food is good. That is not a problem in any of these restaurants. The problem with this one is how filthy and hot it was inside. I will not go back to this one. I will look for a Flame Broiler somewhere else. read more

if i could give this place zero stars i would. i called over 20 mins in advance of me getting to the location to place my order. The girl took the order and said it would be ready, i got there to a huge line 10 people deep. i waited in the line just to get to the front and have the girl tell me she doesn't have my order and never made it but they can start right now. Then to make it even worse they didnt even have the person behind me to go order either!! Why call over 20 mins in advance to make sure i can eat lunch before going back to school if this place is going to be unreliable and flat out incompetent. this is the second time they've done this, i will not be returning. They didn't offer us anything as compensation for this experience which is extremely disappointing they just tried to blame it on us. do better read more

They charge a whole 3 dollars extra to get avocado. Way overpriced. Never coming here again. Also the store feels dark and moody, not in a good way. read more

I love this place! The food is always yummy! The lady there was very nice and courteous! Very good customer service. I usually get the chicken and veggies with white meat only. Super yummy! The place is quite small, but it's cozy. I enjoy eating here read more

I never really had a problem at this Flame Broiler. The girl at the cashier is always happy to see you, and since I'm a regular she knows how I want to build my bowl before I even have to order. It's crowded during lunch hour, but if you wait like half an hour after the rush, you'll get your food quickly. I've never had a problem with their food, their Half & Half is always a great meal to get through the day. read more

The food is great! Fresh and made to order. Like the others say the place is tiny so knowing that I don't complain about it I just know that I'm only going to go there for take out. It is what it is .... Not a place for a nice leisurely lunch. I do agree though the eating area could be cleaner. read more

The place is clean and the employees are courteous and relatively efficient. It is furnished with enough tables and chairs to indicate it is open to dine-in customers, but the restaurant has no restrooms, not even for paying customers. read more

This place specializes in rice bowls. People don't know where to get the bowls for cheap but all you got to do is use the coupon from online or the one you get in your mailbox. Some locations offer $5 regular chicken rice bowl. Coupons consist of buy two rice bowls get one free or 10% off a bowl. Small selection on the menu but very good food. You can add the magic sauce which taste awesome. Food is very healthy, they don't use oil, you can ask for brown or white rice, whatever you prefer. If your more hungry just buy two bowls simple as that, meal will be only like around $10-$12.50ish. Also ask them for a rewards card so you can accumulate points to get a free rice bowl once in a while. Will be coming back! read more

This place always runs out of white meat chicken! Can you please have what's on your menu available until closing? Is that too much to ask?

I eat at a lot of the Flame Broilers though out the Inland Empire, I must say that this location is by far the best ever !!!!!!!! I had the pleasure of talking with the owner yesterday and was able to find out about the homemade chili sauce and was shocked to know that this is a recipe that dates back over 100 years from her family. OMG !!!!! it is AMAZING !!!!!!. It compliments any and all items in which you may eat. Sadly she will not sell it in bottles to take home, but it is surly worth going back every time for. Also the staff there is always so polite and fast with my orders every ti read more

Love the food- to go. Dining room packed at lunch. Not much space but fantastic food. Healthy. Quick. Friendly. Good value.

I love the food. 0.15 cents for brown rice extra. Id get your food and go some where else to eat. Inside the restaurant is pathetic. Ambiance is worst than a hospital cafeteria. Small too. Staff wasnt very welcoming either. read more

Flame Broiler is a good place to eat for people who watch what they eat and have a strict schedule.

I love this place I usually get the chicken bowl with brown rice or the same thing with veggies. Service is prompt, food is great, only issue is the size of the place. Eating there during lunch if your claustrophobic, take out is best. read more

The food quality is good, looks fresh, staff is quick. It seem pricey to some but if u want something that wont make u feel sluggish and bloated anything on the menu with some goldpeak tea will hit the spot for less than $10. Its a small location so get it to go read more

The food is fantastic but what gave it 5 stars for me is the woman behind the counter. She is so friendly and upbeat and really has great customer service! read more

This is the best flame broiler I have been to. They have amazing customer service and food is always done fast and perfectly cooked. The chicken and beef is so much more tender than any other flame broiler I have been to. Love it!!! read more

I love flame broiler but when I went hear they messed up my order it wasn't a big deal I just told her and she threw the food in the cooks face seriously I was so mad she was so rude I felt so bad that girl should be fired read more

I have been looking for a place like this since I moved to Moreno valley, this one is close to my school and I decided to try it. It was amazing. Sure the dining area could look a lot nicer and a restroom is needed but the person who took my order was nice, the food was more than great I loved it and I will go back again. read more

Food is good but this place was filthy! The floor was disgusting and there wasn't 1 clean table in the place. Kinda made me wonder if the kitchen was just as bad or worse. Someone needs to crack the whip at this location. read more

Staff is friendly, quick, and the food is always good. Best Flame Broiler in the area in my opinion.

This is my first time coming here, and not only did I enjoy the delicious food they served, the employee that was helping me at the register has the best customer service skills I have ever had experience with! She has dark hair with highlights and is some sort of Asian. She made my experience that much better! read more

Okay, I was hesitant about giving this horrible review, but after reading through a few of these reviews I now know its just not me.... When you walk into this flame broiler, you are met with a pungent smell-- I guess its from the food? Maybe not, I go to Flame broiler in Menifee about 3 times a week for lunch and never does it smell.. Anyway, the female filipino cashier is rude and talks to you in a fast and short manner. Even looks at you like "hurry up and go" type of attitude.. When I was waiting for my food I saw both men either touching their face or picking their noses. It was disgusting. It was a put off to be doing that in a kitchen where you are working near food. I won't be going here again. Even though I live closely I rather make the drive down La Sierra to Waba Grill where they are clean and super friendly! read more

This time I had the veggie and brown rice bowl - excellent! Veggies were steamed perfectly and rice was delicious. Place was busy but efficient and nice and clean! read more

The manger here is rude. She always has a bad attitude and argues with customers. I've been in there a few times because I thought maybe she was just having a bad day. Nope I was wrong. She's just lacks any knowledge of what good customer service is. They had got my order wrong and when I went back up to get it corrected she just argued with me about it and said that's what I paid for so that's what I was getting. I didn't understand why she got so defensive over it. She made a mistake she should have fixed it. Never again will I go there and I don't recommend anyone else to either. Btw I ordered a chicken bowl and they gave me steak. read more

WORST FLAME BROILER IN I.E.! The state of the front of house is an indicator of how the rest of the business is run. Dismay. Menus are crooked unleveled along with the TV. (Lack of caring and effort). The beverage counter is literally falling apart. The grout is black and it should be brown. All of these show they don't clean properly or care. Imagine the kitchen... Now the food, on two separate times I've pulled a chicken bone about the size of the quarter from the meat. Rice is often overlooked along with meat. Veggies will be added non proportionally to compensate for lack of meat in bowl. People have commented on employees lack of caring, that comes from the top. The owners of this franchise clearly don't care of the quality of their product but completely their margins. Don't go here. Go to a different flame broiler, this isn't representative of all of them. In fact opposite. I usually love flame broiler. Sucks that this is the closest one. read more

Man I love Korean food, and that is what this place really serves even though they don't say it outright in their marketing. I've eaten the beef, chicken, and pork short ribs here and I've never had a problem with the taste or service. You get your choice of one of these marinated items with white or brown rice (the brown is delicious!), along with a salad, and an orange wedge. I prefer this location to the one off of University because that location uses short cuts that take away from the quality of the food like constantly pressing down on the food as it cooks to make it cook faster. The end result of that method is burned food that is not as tender as it should be. I love their kim chi (definitely an acquired taste) and can say that it's the best that I've had in Riverside so far. The only real downside is that they don't have as many items as a traditional korean restaurant does. read more

can't do the flame broiler wrong. it's impossible. rice,chicken,beef.

So after trying the new place called Yama Hibachi Grill, I was left wanting. I still wanted a rice bowl to fulfill that rice bowl need in me. I've passed the Flame Broiler before but finally decided to try it after Yama couldn't fill that space in my stomach. I went there around 3 in the afternoon and the first thing that caught my eye was the B rating. I'm not a food snob by any means, but I decided to forgo the B rating and try it anyways. It wasn't the cleanest restaurant but there was a decent amount of people there being that it was 3 in the afternoon. I ordered a steak bowl and the service wasn't bad and neither were the prices. It was $5.55 plus tax for a bowl. They didn't add any sauce and I guess you're suppose to add as much as you want because they have Magic Sauce on the counter. The sauce wasn't "magic" or anything. It actually tasted like teriyaki sauce. From the picture I was worried that there wouldn't be a lot of meat. And unfortunately I was right. It had more meat then Yama's did, but still not enough for me. The rice was good and so was the meat. Just needed a little bit more. If you like a lot of rice and not enough meat this is the place for you. If you are ever in Ventura County you've got to try Chicken Bowl. It puts more meat than Yama's and Flame Broiler put together! Trust me! Its in Simi Valley and I implore you to go now! read more
