I stopped by to get some dinner for the family and I have to say the customer service at this place is amazing. Yes the food is standard flame broiler. They measure out the meat (idk why people get various experiences ago it the meat it's all measured!) and the vegetables always the same. But I waited a little too long cuz it was busy and the workers noticed and asked if I needed anything multiple times. They even offered me a drink even though I didn't order a drink cuz they knew they had a big order in front of me. That's customer service! Clean interior and convenient location. Easy choice for a healthy dinner. read more

At 8:32pm on 8/28/26, this woman at the register was extremely rude when me and my friend ordered she said "you're not just gonna give me the 22 cents" rudely asking for the exact change. Then after we paid, my friend went to use the bathroom and she said "did she use the bathroom? I put Clorox there...I was clearly cleaning it" mind you theres no cleaning stuff or sign anywhere and the door was wide open. Extremely rude tone clearly unhappy and miserable so unwelcoming. Me and my friends felt very uncomfortable as we walked out the restaurant and were given dirty looks by this woman. Nobody was rude to her, yet she continued to be rude to us. read more

The woman working there was extremely rude and unwelcoming throughout our visit. When my friend and I were ordering, she rudely asked for the exact change, saying, "you're not just gonna give me the 22 cents". After we paid, my friend went to use the bathroom, and the woman immediately questioned her, saying, "did she use the bathroom? I put Clorox there...I was clearly cleaning it". However, there were no cleaning supplies, signs, or anything indicating that the bathroom was being cleaned, and the door was wide open. Her tone throughout the interaction was extremely rude, and she seemed clearly irritated and unhappy. The way she spoke to us made the experience feel very uncomfortable and unwelcoming. read more

This is a great FB location. I just come here instead of having to meal prep and it's honestly just as affordable because they have a 4 bowl for $32.50 deal and you can accrue points for free bowls if you create a flame broiler account through the app. I come here every Monday and get 8 bowls for the week and the lady at the register (Emily) is really nice and just knows my order because I come so often haha. So far my orders have been correct every single time. Will continue to be a repeat customer. read more

Nothing with employees as they are the best, the food is great too. For the owner whoever controls the AC unit, please for the love of god, turn it on for your employees!!!! That's terrible you don't allow them to turn on the ac. You have them working over a hot grill and no ac in the restaurant. it was so hot in there today as it is 95 outside. If they pass out I hope they sue you!!! read more

meh, this place is very very good if you get the beef, but don't get chicken, always dry. ALWAYS, ALWAYS dry. the service is decent, but inconsistent. the decor is underwhelming. but very chill and it gives me Japanese vibes for some odd reason. I doubt I will come back read more

Food is consistently good. Service is great and they have the best 2fer deals (which helps when feeing teen boys!) It's a great healthier fast ish food option. Place seems clean. Not much indoor seating but plenty of places to sit outside in the commons area. read more

2nd time coming here and once again it's an all rice bowl. Hardly any meat. I hate how this is the closest flame broiler for miles or else I'd go to a different location. Looked up the google reviews and I'm not the only one saying this. This location is a straight up scam. read more

Flame Broiler is a great choice for a quick, affordable, healthier meal. During my last visit, I got a mini chicken bowl with brown rice, veggies, and avocado. I enjoyed it and the portion size was perfect for me. If you want more flavor, you can ask for extra sauce on the side but I actually enjoyed the lightness of it as is. They do have a spicy sauce though (I forgot the name), but I highly recommend getting that if you enjoy spicy foods! It has a decent kick to it and it made me bowl taste even better. This location is located in a pretty large plaza, so finding parking was not an issue when I went. It's a fast food place, so everything is pretty casual which is to be expected. Service here is friendly. read more

Flame Broiler - Mini Chicken Bowl - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

Great service today from Emily. Helped me make a good choice for dinner for 4. They have good specials too read more

my usual were 2 Bowl of brown Rice, veggies, green onions and magic sauce 10/10 2 its healthiest w/ out Beef and chicken.

It's my first time at a Flame Broiler by myself. The location is set up in shopping center, so you're not gonna run out of options. I chose this spot because it was seemingly the least busiest. So, I used to work at a teriyaki place, and I've had a lot of Asian fusion food...I think as an industry standard, Panda Express, might be the most generous I've tried, although their food can be quite salty. There are definitely a lot of teriyaki-fare mom and pops, that serve better food, but I wasn't gonna find that easily in Irvine, while waiting for the traffic on the I-5 to die down. It's kind of expensive for fast food...the veggies were soggy and mushy. I got the Angus beef with half brown/half white rice. The presentation was fine, but the quality of the meat was average. The only reason I scarfed it down is because I was so hungry. I like that the condiments and utensils are set up, self-serve to go, all except for the fact that the placement of the forks, looked a bit unsanitary, but we'll forgive that. The sauces were okay; I pumped a little bit of each. I don't remember any of them being spicy though. read more

The food here is mediocre at best for a quick bite. As someone with a couple years of customer service experience, however, there is one particular staff, Mariam C. , who is unreasonably unaccommodating when taking order. I had asked for a mini bowl with veggies and rice explicitly, and when receiving said bowl without vegetables, had asked to just get the veggies with my bowl. However, instead of being accommodating to a small mistake, she instead retorted that she'd have to charge $5 for a side of veggies ( the bowl itself is $8 ). I understand policy, but holding your ground over simple vegetables reads a little excessive and lead to me having an overall dissatisfied experience. But hey if you'd like to be gaslit on a fine Tuesday, Mariam is your gal! ***side note: especially when she's working, the portion control on the rice and meat is inconsistent, making me question the macros as well. read more

Flame Broiler - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

This Flame Broiler is my fav for a quick, healthy and fresh meal. I usually visit during lunch and Emely is always polite, remembers my order and has a smile that will brighten your day! read more

This is the best Flame Broiler in town - tasty food from healthy and fresh ingredients, efficient and friendly staff, really good prices (and catering menu prices too!), and a clean store. The chicken and beef are not over cooked or dry. The food is not too salty. The magic sauce is perfectly savory. This is the perfect take out place or to grab a quick lunch/dinner with family. I personally do not believe two pieces of Kalbi, veggies, and good quality rice is expensive here. In fact, I believe it is quite value for money. The four chicken bowl special is a good deal. I frequently get this for my son's baseball team. The kids eat the ENTIRE BOWL including veggies! All in all, I have nothing but positives to say about this place. read more

Emily was very friendly, polite and courteous. She gave great customer service and I would 10/10 return.

The service is very friendly, quick plus the food tastes great. My go-to place for a healthy lunch.

Fast service and cashier Keila was lovely I've had the ribs before And they're pretty far so I got that again read more

Flame Broiler - Chicken veg bowl - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

I've been to quite a few Flame Broilers and this one is better than I remember any other store being. They have consistently got my order accurately and on time. The employees here seem to take pride in keeping the place clean and organized. Jessica in particular goes above and beyond. You can tell she cares about her work by the way she interacts with the customers and her consistency day in and day out. She is the kind of person you want in charge of a store. read more

Awesome friendly service! The chicken bowls are always a hit. I will definitely be coming back.

Flame broiler always solid . Gear smiling faces when you come in. Emily was very helpful with special information . Will always be happy to support this place read more

Stopped by for a quick bite to eat and wanted to get something relatively healthy. Saw the Flame Broiler next to Panera and looked at the menu. Decided on the chicken bowl with brown rice and appreciated the friendly and efficient staff. Food was tasty and freshly prepared. I'll be coming back soon! read more

Emely was wonderful! She was very friendly and the food was awesome. I highly recommend this Flame Broiler location.

Love this place! Super quick and great food. Probably one of the better flame broilers in the area. Emily was great!

**** Health Warning ***** Has roach problem and horrible manager. (The lady working at the store this day) . The owner called and refund but doesn't make up for her behavior. I wish I had checked the reviews of this place before. I've been eating here for 3+ years as I love flame broiler. On 5/6/2021 I went there to order takeout they were extremely busy. Got my order, came home, and opened the bag of food. Once i lifted the bowl I saw a dead cockroach in the bag! To make matters even worse was the attitude of the lady on the phone when I called and explained the situation. Her first response was to laugh and say "That's a first I've never heard that one before." Sorry, but a roach with the food is not funny. She then went on a rant saying she prepared all the bags and would never of missed seeing it and said "I don't know how it magically appeared there.. I'm not saying you put it there but I would never miss that." Flat out accusing me of being a liar and insisted she has to go check their very high tech cameras that see everything. I asked her for a refund because obviously I cannot eat the food and her response was... "Why not was there something wrong with the bowl?" Cannot believe the attitude of this staff member please avoid st all cost for your health sake. read more

Ehhhh doesn't taste that great. Was expecting a lot more but Yoshinoya is way better. Kind of expensive too for what it was. The meat here was bland. The spicy chicken was just splattered with hot sauce, nothing special. read more

Normal flame broiler but stay away from the short ribs offered. The tiny little cup of ribs is not worth $8. It was also burnt and heavily sauced to hide the burnt ribs. read more
