Kind of a no frills, quick grab and go spot, with healthier food options! I think this is a good option for when you just want something simple, healthy, and convenient. I was afraid it would be kind of plain, but the chicken is really smoky and tasty, the sesame sause on the salad was delicious, and they give you a lot of sauce options for the bowl too. read more

Flame Broiler - Chicken bowl - Korean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Always hot and fresh! I tried Flame Broiler for the first time about three years ago and literally have been trying to go again because I found it to be extraordinarily tasty! I finally made a special trip there the other day because I had a taste for it. It almost puts me in the mind of the mall "Bourbon Chicken" but much better! The Tapestry Park location is a quiet area with not much foot traffic. I ordered and got my food extremely fast, like less than 5 minutes. I was the only customer, which was surprising for mid-afternoon. The workers were very friendly and brought the food to my table. I got the NAE Chicken Plate (No Additives Ever) and I felt got a decent amount of food. I poured some magic sauce on it, similar to soy sauce, and it really accentuated the flavor. If you want good and healthier food, this is the best "fast food" option out there. Simple ingredients and good food! read more

I had the early bird special, a bowl of chicken, veggies and brown rice with a drink. It ends at 5pm and I was there before cut off time. I was early to my hair appointment and I was hungry, so I popped three doors down and had a bite to eat. I picked up some wonderful spice to put on top of my bowl of food. I chose the mineral flavored water. The food was very good and fresh, and the drink was better than I anticipated. Pros:tasty food and sauce, nice Cashiers, sauces available. Great parking. Cons:several of the tables needed to be wiped down and cleaned. Recommend? YES! read more

The wings were tasty, and my wife probably liked them more than me. The vegetables in our combo had too much cabbage. I don't think $18 for an 8-piece combo is a good value (but we had a coupon for a BOGO). It did take them quite a while to prepare them while we waited. My wife would probably like to go back again, but I wouldn't personally. read more

Good food. Wings are good but be prepared or order online because they take 15min to cook but worth the wait.

I planned to do some shopping at Town Center so I stopped in to Flame Broilers first for dinner. They offer a healthy alternative to eating out. I ordered the bowl with chicken and steak, rice and cabbage, and I added some magic sauce. It was hot and yummy! The chicken and the steak were cooked perfectly. And even though I'm not a huge rice fan, I loved this bowl! The cabbage was fresh and a great addition. Service was friendly. They offered indoor seating and a few tables outside. It was a nice afternoon, so I sat outside and enjoyed my meal. I also ordered a side of two wings because I had seen pictures and wanted to know if they were the real deal. I did like the wings. I dipped them in the magic sauce. If you are looking for something different you found it. Just like the name says, everything is cooked over a flame. And I've always felt food tastes better over and open fire. read more

This is a no frills quick service option inspired by Korean bbq. I appreciate the freshness and simplicity that they offer with a protein + rice & veggies dish. Their magic sauce and hot sauces spruce up an otherwise ordinary meal. The meat picks up flavor from the grilling process too. While I typically order the chicken, this is one of the very few I've ordered tofu and enjoyed it. You can try half and half protein options as well. This location is tucked away in tapestry park and offers online ordering. It was very clean inside and quiet on a Saturday. It's an easy take home option or nice to enjoy on site. read more

I gave The Flame Broiler a second chance today. Needless to say, I'm regretting my decision. My experience began on a positive note as the service was noticeably quicker than before. I was feeling optimistic....that was until I opened my bag. I was given a very sad looking bowl. The meat was so dry, I needed a gallon of water just by looking at it. Not even the magic sauce on the side could preform such sorcery to make this meat appetizing. Each bite was like chewing a rubber shoe. The rice was very watery which is a pretty hard aspect of the dish to mess up if you ask me, but sadly it was cooked poorly. On top of the unseasoned meat, the vegetables also lacked the substance I was hoping for. I will not be retuning. read more

Grabbed a quick lunch today, the half & half bowl with brown rice and veggies. The employee who took my order was really nice and I didn't have to wait long for it to come up. The bowl was pretty good. I'm surprised I actually ended up preferring the beef over the chicken, so maybe next time I'll just get beef. Adding the magic sauce (teriyaki) gave it an extra boost of flavor, especially the rice. My veggies were perfectly steamed. On my next visit, I may forego the rice and just get beef and veggies instead. They were my favorite parts of my meal. The portion size was good for the value. Overall, not bad. I enjoyed it. read more

We came here because we had coupons for a free mini bowl. I got a tofu bowl with rice and vegetables. I thought the mini portion was a nice size for a child or as a snack. The food itself wasn't anything special. It needed sauce for any kind of flavor. I ended up needing quite a bit of Buffalo sauce. read more

We have been wanting to try Flame Broiler for some time now and I'm so glad we did! Hubs and I both got the chicken bowls with brown rice and the veggies mix. It was delicious!! The flavor of the chicken mixed with the Magic sauce, seriously was magical!!! This is a healthy option for lunch or dinner, if you go easy on the sauce. The staff was super nice and the location was very clean! We had no clue they closed at 8:00pm on a Saturday (so sorry!!) but they did not rush us out at all! This would be a great choice for a quick lunch during the work week! Loved it! read more

Who knew something so quick, inexpensive and healthy would be so tasty! Haven't been here in quite a while and was reminded why it was on my weekly lunch schedule! It is so fresh and delicious! Gotta love the magic sauce too! It's a sweet juicy addition to your bowl. I went with my old faithful. A regular bowl with chicken and all veggies (no rice)! It was filling, healthy, tasty & has me drooling for a repeat again soon! read more

Flame Broiler - Chicken veggie bowl - Korean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Ordering at the counter is the hip Millennial 1-2-3 step style: 1, pick your bowl size. 2, pick your carbs/veggies. 3, pick your protein. There is not too much variety: 3 sizes (plate size gets you a spoonful of raw cabbage plus half an orange for dessert). 3 carbs/veggies (white rice, brown rice or blanched broccoli/cabbage/carrot mix). 3 proteins (beef, chicken, tofu)...or a half/half. 3 types of sauces: hot sauce, hot hot sauce, "magic" sauce. Use the magic if you don't like spicy and prefer sweet/salty soy. The food comes quick. Perhaps too quickly. 3 minutes or less, which means the proteins are pre-cooked and sitting around. I found the beef completely overdone and dry. The chicken was tastier. 3 stars for the healthy concept. 3 stars for the half/half pretty good chicken and pretty flame broiled to death beef. read more

Food disgusting. The reviews lied. Uncultured white folks making Asian food. Small portions. Not worth the money.

I have really been trying to stick to my New Year fitness goals and to be honest, the working out part of it is easy....it's the eating that always gets me! So in an effort not to sabotage my hour of hard work in the gym last weekend, my boyfriend and I decided to have lunch at one of my favorite healthy, fast food restaurants, Flame Broiler ! Yes, I said "healthy fast-food"! It does exist, let me explain! A few years ago, this west coast franchise made its way to Jacksonville and has been bringing us the perfect after work-out food ever since! So what makes them such a great choice after a workout, you ask??? Well, their healthy choice menu includes dishes free of trans fat, dairy, frying, and skin-on meat! You can even watch them prepare the food behind the counter and sure enough, there are no fryers, as everything is prepared on top of a flat hot grill! The menu is pretty simplistic with your choice of chicken, steak, or tofu for protein and veggies, consisting of cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. You also have a choice of brown or white rice and chopped green onions to top your meal, if you'd like. Always get the green onions! They add incredible flavor! Depending on how hungry you are, you have the size options of mini, bowl, and plate. My boyfriend, who always has a big appetite, got the plate size with half chicken/half beef and veggies over brown rice. With the plate size being the option with the most food, it also came with red cabbage salad and orange slices. I got the same protein in the bowl size! The only difference is that the orange slices and cabbage salad aren't there. You wouldn't miss it because that little bowl is packed with food! I actually couldn't finish it all in one sitting. The name Flame Broiler is totally appropriate for this restaurant because the meat has a nice flame-broiled flavor! Although the meat is tender and nicely charbroiled with a great taste, the sauces are not to be skipped! The magic sauce is my favorite! It's tastes like a combination of soy sauce and teriyaki sauce! We both doused our plates with it as it added an incredible amount of flavor! Hot sauce, sesame dressing, and Hot-Hot sauce if you're feeling froggy, are also available! If you're on a complete health kick, Flame Broiler now serves tofu. I'm not a fan but I know plenty of people who are! I sampled it and the flame-broiled flavor is definitely there. I just can't get with the texture. It's nice to know they have this option though. You can also request all white meat chicken. If you're watching your calories, this option gives you all the same, great flavor with 20 less calories! read more

Decided this one night that I'd eat something healthy for dinner as I was not up to cooking. I've had them before in San Marco and was glad that this location was on the way home from the Town Center. Went over on a Tuesday after Labor Day and they were not busy at all. In fact, I think there was only one person working there that I could see. He was very courteous and took my order of a Half and Half aka The Works plate: sauce-basted chicken and marinated beef with white rice, steamed veggies (broccoli and carrots), cabbage slaw and a sliced orange. Sounded good, smelled wonderful and tasted awesome. I did have to pass on the cabbage slaw as it was a bit too dry and raw for me. I'm not sure what the Flame-Broiler sauce is but I really liked it. The plate-size portion was just enough for dinnertime meal but not enough to be full or stuffed. Simplicity wins out on some nights and I'm glad I came here. I'd definitely come back. read more

Flame Broiler - Half and half plate - Korean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Flame Broiler is your one-stop for quick and healthy lunch/dinner. They do not have a variety of food choices on the menu but their limited options make it easy for you. You pick your choice of protein (chicken/beef/tofu), choice of rice (white/brown) and decide if you want just rice and protein in a bowl or pair it with some fruit or salad and make it a plate. Their way of cooking the meat surely makes it taste delicious. Their bowl with 5 oz meat and rice is a decent portion for lunch. Don't forget to say yes to green onions, you definitely need that little crunch ;) Oh and do not forget to mix your meal up with some magic sauce. It surely is magical and enhances the flavor of your meal.. They do have enough seating if you want to dine-in. One honest suggestion - get their early for lunch if you do not want to wait because they get really busy during peak lunch hours. read more

I rarely eat a fast food meal and lose weight as a result. But that's what happened when I checked my weight the following morning. Great spot for inexpensive quick rice meat bowls, especially when you're on a diet. My friend from LA says it's Cali-style Korean bowls, but as I'm not from the Left Coast, I couldn't compare it to that. All I know is that the meat was nice and lean and the magic sauce was delicious. It's a simple meat/rice/green onions meal. They say No MSG, No Skin, No Frying, No Trans Fat. And if your food is not already cooked in magic sauce, it's gluten-free as well. I like healthy options and since this place is pretty cheap at about $6 a bowl. It seems small, but that thing really fills me up and lasted 2 meals. If you get the plate it includes an orange as well and it costs a bit more. The only thing is that my son asked for no onions on his dish and he accidentally got it. (Luckily, he was happy with it anyway.) And the woman who was cleaning up was pushy and rude when passing by us customers. Otherwise, friendly and helpful service and delicious food. read more

Flame Broiler - "The works" bowl - Korean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I just had to try this place, I drove by so many times now contemplating this no frying option. I finally can cross this off my list. I ordered the chicken bowl, I wasn't really impressed. I think the meat to rice ratio was not right. I wish they gave me more chicken. The chicken was so so, I could taste a little bitter taste from the broiling. But it had decent flavor. They are fast with getting your food to you I think I got mine within 2 minutes of ordering. Maybe I'll go back and try something else. Eating here made me Realize one thing: I like fried unhealthy food. read more

i've been to several locations in the Jacksonville area. This is by far the best fast food, healthy restaurant out there. I love the taste of everything. The sauce is fabulous the veggies awesome and you feel like you're actually eating something that you're not supposed to be eating, it's healthy feeling, and reasonably priced . read more

I've been going here for ages. Surprised that I haven't done a review. I've only ordered the beef bowl. But I heard the chicken, amongst others, are good too. Sometimes I get veggies only with the beef or I'd get brown rice with veggies as my 'sides' with the protein. I would say for the price (around $10) you get a good meal out of it. You get a lot of the veggies and/or rice. To me, the amount you get is meh. I'd rather have more meat. You get a fair amount of meat. Talking to the employee, it's weight based. They probably put about 5oz if meat in a regular size bowl. It's not a lot, for me, but it's good enough, I suppose. You can also m get a side of extra beef for and additional $2-3 if your in the mood for extra protein, like me. The marinade of the beef is sooo good! It's like a sweet soy sauce/teriyaki type flavor, maybe even has a touch of zest flavors. For those who eat Korean food, it's pretty much their version of a bulgogi flavor. It's not a good as Korean food I've had in Cali but it's a good alternative for what we have in Jax/Fl. The meat is tender (I've never been here and the meat was tough; it's always good) and they're cut in julienne sized strips. And the beef doesn't have much/any fat on it. (I never have asked how they prep the beef) but theres never any renin ave if oils on the meat or bowl. If you're trying to get some good 'clean' eats, this (to me) is a great place. I usually order 3 bowls at a time so I have some extra meals in the fridge. I'll have to update my review and take a picture of my bowl before I devour it. Side Note: I also just learned that they're selling their magic sauce in bottles now! They said they started to sell it a couple months ago. It's about $8 after taxes. I had to buy a bottle! Supposedly, from the employee, it's the same sauce they use to marinade/cook their beef. They also have this sauce as self serve to put on everything (on my entire bowl). It's so good! read more

I've only been to flame broiler once, but I saw that they were donating 15% to cystic fibrosis today and I had a coupon. I really enjoyed it last time so I thought what better time to go back. I got a deal for a mini bowl +20 ounce drink for $4.67.. they actually have this on happy hour Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 PM. It's also all day on Saturday and Sunday. The portions are very reasonable for this price. And the food is of very "great quality. I went at 12:30 PM and was in and out in 10 minutes. Service was very quick and friendly. The place was clean. I definitely recommend this place for a fresh place to eat. The ingredients seem very fresh and are delicious! I will certainly be going back now that I know they have a happy hour deal read more

Great flavor for the food just wish the food was dry when i got it. The place wasn't busy when i arrived but did pick up as i was eating. I ordered a half and half plate and a side of the ribs. The ribs were very good just mostly bone and fat. Little meat on my order. The sauces were good so give them a rry when you are near by. read more

Flame broiler is a place that does not have much variety of food, but the food they have is consistent and always hits the spot. I typically get a chicken/rice bowl with veggies and staff is always good about ensuring the order is correct. Their magic sauce is my favorite! A great spot for a last minute lunch. read more

I had long searched for some healthy yet delicious options around Jacksonville. So, HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN, because I discovered (with some assistance from relatives) The Flame Broiler. It's a casual little place with tables and bar tops for seating. Order at the counter, get your drink and sauce - more on the sauces later - then seat yourself. Options include small and regular bowls and if you're really hungry a plate. Next, choose white or brown rice, protein of your choice; beef, chicken, or tofu. Vegetables - broccoli, carrots, cabbage and optional scallions (no extra $). They have three sauce options; their "Magic" sauce, the hot sauce and extra hot Verde sauce. You can't go wrong with the "Magic" sauce. My fave. It's similar to a soy sauce and tastes great! Bowls are very affordable at about $8.00. You can get a good sized bowl with a protein and vegetables for less than 700 calories. An excellent healthy and tasty choice for lunch or dinner. I'll be back! read more

The food is amazing. I have had the chicken and the beef rice bowls. Service is always fast and friendly. Magic sauce is amazing.

Great fast lunch option. Always delicious. Reasonably healthy and FAST. Love the variety of sauces

I just can't get over how good this place is. It's such a simple concept but it's DELICIOUS! I can't speak for any protein but the chicken, but I'm sure they are all good. Any time I am there plenty of people are ordering beef and even tofu. The flavor is just so addicting. I even tried to make it at home using a copy-cat recipe and MAN was I disappointed. IMO, you can't beat their $5 lunch deal. A mini bowl and a drink! It's also available all day on the weekends. My dad thinks it's "just a snack" but I think the portion is sufficient for a healthy, quick lunch. I've been tempted several times to try out their "meal prep" options. You can buy a whole tray (80oz) or half tray (40oz) of protein, veggies, and/or rice. With the mini bowl having 3oz of protein, this could be an affordable option for someone with a serious Flame Broiler addiction! read more

On a Wednesday night I was being lazy and decided to get take out. Came here thinking it was an excellent option for when you don't want to cook. Got two regular chicken bowls, one only veggies and chicken the other chicken, brown rice and broccoli. My order was to go so I got some of their "magic sauce" which is basically teriyaki, hot sauce and left. When I got home I was shocked to find the bowl only a little more than half full. I was surprised since I don't even think there was 5 oz of chicken there as advertised. The food was fine but nothing memorable. Some of the chicken was slightly burned but put teriyaki sauce on anything and it tastes good. For $11 probably should have gone to a small Chinese place and gotten a better meal even if it was for slightly more $$. Final word: it's not great it's not the worse. I would rather cook at home or if I'm being lazy just go to a non-chain place. read more

I had always heard of this place but never knew it was close enough to my work. I decided to give it a try when I was looking for a healthy choice for lunch. It is nice that the calories are posted on the menu so I know what I am in for. I would recommend calling ahead if you have a limited lunch. They make it relatively fresh so it takes a moment to come out. I tried the works bowl at someone's suggestion. It was a bowl of half brown rice, half veggies, steak and chicken. I rather enjoyed it. My favorite part was the cabbage. I was happy that it wasn't doused in The juice made to cook it. That's what usually happens when you go to most Chinese places. It wasn't too much or too little for a seven dollar meal. It was just right. Though this place isn't called a Chinese restaurant it is. The chicken and reminded me of the kind you could get at a mall food court but better. Their brown rice is very tasty. And the employees were very nice. read more

James, Jacob and Eric the best. They are genuine and always quick. It's hard to beat the price, quality, and convenience.

I am always on the lookout for different "fast food" options and The Flame Broiler fits that description nicely. I get the mixed beef and chicken bowl and found it to be pretty tasty, albeit a little on the bland side. The Magic Sauce, however, really brightens the meal up. I love the fact that the meat is skinless, un-fried and no MSG. I also love the fact that it is not in Town Center but Tapestry Park, so the setting is oh so much less hectic. The staff behind the counter have been nothing but nice to me every time and the service is quick as well. read more

There is something very satisfying about having a nice bowl of rice and meat. It's like ... I guess.... meat and potatoes, but Asian style. When I am craving some rice (which is very often), have none in the house (cause too lazy to cook, cause there is always rice in the house), and don't want to spend too much, Flame Broiler generally comes to mind. I usually like to order the chicken bowl with extra chicken and scallion, pour some magic sauce on it, and usually will have some left over for the next meal as well. My husband likes the half and half, but I usually find the beef a bit too overcooked and tough. It's fast, delicious, and pretty cheap. read more

I've had this place a few times but today I thought it was worth a review. Upon walk-in the space is small. There a few tables. It's clean. The lines aren't usually long. The order taker was extremely nice and efficient. The wait isn't long at all. The 3 stars are because of the quality of the food. It gives the impression of good food but I find it's just ok. The veggies sometimea feel under steamed. The rice sticky. The chicken though. It's great while it's hot. Once it cools, I begin questioning if it's really chicken. It's okay for quick meal. It's filling. It's cheap. I wouldn't rely on it total healthy eating. read more
