    Half and half (chicken and beef) bowl with brown rice, veggies and green onions.
    Calvin N. H.

    I've been coming to this place for so long... I was certain that I left a review. Flame Broiler is a fast food chain restaurant that serves up Korean inspired goods. I usually order chicken, beef or half and half, but I believe they have a tofu option as well. Ordering is simple. First decide what portion you want: mini bowl, bowl, or plate. Next decide protein: beef, chicken, or half and half... or tofu. Then the base brown or white rice. It can also come with veggies (broccoli, cabbage and carrots). And the last option green onions. I usually get a half and half bowl (beef and chicken) with brown rice, veggies, and green onions. It is a good portion and comes out pretty quickly. There is a sauce station where you can put their "Magic" sauce (it's like a teriyaki sauce) and they have a spicy sauce. I recommend trying some in a little sauce container before putting it all over your food, just in case it is not to your liking. The protein is tender and tasty, especially with the magic sauce. I get a side of spicy sauce for dipping. The meat is charbroiled, not fried. So it has a nice smokey char kind of taste. I'm unsure what some reviewers were saying about the meat being dry like "beef jerky." Looking at the pictures, it looks nothing like beef jerky. It's a fast food chain... they are cooking up huge quantities of protein in batches. It's not going to be perfectly cooked like a steak made to order. It's a fast food joint... not a steak house. Not sure if what people are expecting, but there's no pleasing everyone. Anyhow, this joint has healthier options, that is served up quick. Service is usually good and they rarely make a mistake on my order. I think once they gave me white rice instead of brown rice. It wasn't the end of the world. I just ate my bowl with white rice. I didn't want them to toss the food and waste it. I believe they just introduced wings on the menu but not every location sells them. I haven't tried ordering yet, but I've seen the little advertisement tent on the table. I think some locations also serve salads. Overall, I'm a fan. I've been coming here on and off for years and will continue to be a customer here. 4 / 5: Food 4 / 5: Cleanliness 4 / 5: Service 4 / 5: Overall

    Steak Bulgogi Bowl
    Catalina G.

    I'd say this is a great place to get something healthy, but it's nothing crazy. The food isn't anything above just regular healthy bowls. The menus limited, but if you go with the smallest bowl, the portion size is good for the price. The service was fine. The restaurant could've been cleaner. There wasn't much of an ambiance.

    FLAME BROILER @ MISSION VALLEY Stumbled upon this place with my friends, parking was free and right out front. Walking in the place it a bit small, it does have a few tables, and you can order then choose a seat. This place was okay for what it was and the food, It was just $9 for a chicken and rice bowl, which was a good price. I felt that it was a bit dry especially biting into the chicken, it wasn't moist, it didn't feel fresh, it felt more "warm". Rice was mushy, not the best i've had. Overall, I don't think i'd come back to this spot, quality of the chicken could be improved. However, service was kind, parking was easy, and ambiance was welcoming,

    I love Flame Broiler! it's kinda my go to right now:) healthier choices for fast food- with a lot of different combinations. Great service friendly and courteous. Super Reasonable prices -protein quality is there! Vegetarian choices too -Enjoy!

    I ordered and asked for kimchi and they left it off. It's pretty careless to have someone pay an extra $3.59 and leave it off of this very simple and basic order.

    I wish I had read the reviews before placing my Uber Eats pickup order. On the upside, there was plenty of parking, and my food was ready in under 10 minutes. It was waiting on the counter when I arrived, packaged with silverware and extra sauce. There was plenty of indoor as well as outdoor seating. Pros: I ordered the chicken rice bowl and added extra meat for $3.75, bringing my total to $15.95. It definitely came loaded with meat. Cons: The bowl was so full of meat that I couldn't really mix it with the rice underneath. I had requested half rice and half vegetables, but there were barely any veggies. On top of that, it was extremely salty and tasted more like fast food than something fresh or healthy. You get a generous portion for the price, but the quality just doesn't hold up.

    Steak Bulgogi Bowl not worth it here
    Joshua D.

    I ordered two steak Bulgogi bowls, one for myself and one for a coworker. It wasn't worth it. The meat was dry and flavorless and tough. It was worse than beef jerky. It had no flavor and very chewy and hard very dry. The veggies were nonexistent two pieces of broccoli sprinkle cabbage. I can't believe the rice was bad the white rice Which has no flavor, Usually it had a bad flavor when you open the bowl It just smelled bad. The lady behind the counter took my order and was screaming at me through a mask like I was deaf or hard of hearing and kept asking me the same question and I keep giving her the same answer. It was weird. The food didn't even come out fast, but the guy making it in the back seem to be over cooking everything I couldn't even eat my food and I was hungry so I drank water and called it a loss. I can never come back here again. I used to love the flame broiler. I would crave it. I guess Waba Grill has my business. I think that was my mistake. I thought I was gonna get Waba grill quality but ending ended up getting worse than beef jerky for 10 times more so I'm sorry, but this is not the place.

    Not bad, also, not in any hurry to return. Plenty of meat, rather on the dry side. Rice was okay I suppose.

    Great location at the intersection of El Cajon Blvd and Texas Street. Theodore wanted French fries…read moreso we went through the drive-thru, which they have two of. Seems convenient for high volume hours but if you both arrive at the same time which lane yields to who? We didn't see the prices of fries listed on the digital menu. We asked the the operator she quoted us quoted is $3 for small, $4 for medium and $5 for a large. With only a dollar difference between sizes we splurged and order the large which came out to $6.13 including taxes. We were delighted to find pipping hot fresh fries, wish they filled the fries up all the way though. We also got the limited edition FIFA Cup sleeve! Best eaten when hot where you burn your fingers a little. They were as addicting as we remember!

    Even though this is the closest McDonald's I avoid going here all the time. From bad service, long…read morewait times, items missing, and workers trying to charge me for sauces when they should come with my order of nuggets, this place is AWFUL. Every now and then I decide to give them another chance but I am officially DONE with this place. I ordered a smoothie in the drive thru and they handed me a cup that wasn't even filled. Unfortunately this isn't uncommon but I usually don't complain because it seems silly to complain about 5-10% of my smoothie missing BUT THIS TIME it was almost as if I had ordered a small instead of a large. It was so unbelievable that I had to take a photo (not thinking I would use it in a review.) I asked the worker if they could fill it up and so she took it and handed it back to me full. I thought that would be the end BUT I WAS WRONG. After driving away and taking a sip from the smoothie I realized what they had did. They literally just took some crushed ice and added it to the smoothie!!! The chunks of ice couldn't even be sipped through the straw and now my smoothie just tastes like water. Anyways I've had enough. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS LOCATION

    This is my favorite spot to get a delicious chicken pie dinner! Love the combination of gravy,…read moretender chicken & turkey with a moist tender crust. Their sides are always tasty. I really like the mashed potatoes (with gravy), coleslaw, corn and large biscuits with butter. Plus the dinner comes with a slice of pie. My favorite is the banana cream. No matter what I order here, I always know it will be fresh and fabulous. They have different daily specials. Service is always friendly and speedy. Ambiance is relaxed with an impressive rooster and hen collection displayed. Plus you can purchase chicken pies to bake at home and various bakery goodies. Finally the four or five story housing has been completed (for a few years now) that literally surrounds this famous place. I was happy to see they managed to keep parking spaces open just for restaurant customers. I'll have to say it took awhile to get used to the huge building that looks like it's gonna swallow up the restaurant. Anyway hopefully the people that live there are regular customers.

    I really do not understand why this doesn't have 4/5 stars. The food was nice, simple, & delicious…read more Service was great & attentive but also very sweet. Ambiance was like diner vibes and very family friendly. I ordered the pot pit with the breakfast that came with hash browns, eggs, & a side of half bacon & sausage. That sausage was delicious: juicy and flavorful. For $20 cash without tip, I think the portion was great. I basically ate the entire thing. The gravy for the pot pie is bomb, definitely going to ask for extra next time. They have daily meal specials as well so check out their website & a birthday offer too so sign up. I got my eggs on the side & hash browns extra crispy. I want to try some of their dessert pies SOON!
