    Mini Chicken Bowl
    Zarifa A.

    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.

    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.

There is nobody else standing in line outside and the owner comes outside to tell me 2 times that I need to wait 30-40 minutes. I told her there is no waiting in front of me, and that it should be first come, first serve. She says no, you can only sit on tables for 1 person and it will be a 30-40 min wait for that. I said okay, but if there is no line and people are done eating with empty tables it should be fine, right? There is a waitlist, and that it should go in order. She said no, you can only get seated on tables for 1. Then she proceeded to say it's a 30-40 min wait again as if I didn't already know that for the second time. I told her i'd wait, but now i'm feeling bad and don't know if she even cares to earn my business. It's my 5th time coming here, and unfortunately this place was one of my favorite Korean restaurants and since I'm from out of town I make sure to visit each time I am in the OC. I'm not sure if I want to continue coming back here if service remains this way. It's embarrassing enough to come alone, it's even worse when you're called out in front of people inside of the restaurant while there are only 3 people waiting outside. When I got seated she didn't even give me a menu and asked me what I wanted. Lucky for her i'm Korean and was already a repeat customer from the early days so I was able to order right away-otherwise how could I order? God forbid I ask for any recommendations on the menu... 1 star well deserved for this. Congratulations this is the first time I rated a fellow Korean restaurant 1 star. There is a first time for everything I suppose.

I ordered the galbi tang and steamed dumplings, and my meal was delicious.

I usually order a side of extra glass noodles, but I'm glad I didn't here because the noodle portion was also generous. The dumplings were juicy, and the dipping sauce complimented them perfectly. My favorite galbi tang spots are in Buena Park, but Tang 190 will definitely scratch the itch when I can't wait since I'm local to Irvine.
