    Mini Steak Bulgogi
    Paul L.

    What's up with their Tuesday hours, being open only from 6 PM to 9 PM? I can't help but wonder if operating for just three hours is even profitable. Aside from the odd hours, Flame Broiler LACKS INTERIOR COMFORT AND DESIGN, which is surprising for a fast-food chain with multiple locations across the nation. I visited in the evening and was surprised to see a steady flow of customers. After placing my order, my meal was ready in under a minute. I went with the MINI STEAK BULGOGI BOWL with vegetables and asked for their Seoul Scorcher Hot Sauce. I poured the entire packet over my bowl, and while I definitely felt the heat, the sauce's name didn't quite match its intensity. It had a gochujang base with a subtle hint of ghost pepper-like spice. FB uses quality meat, Certified Angus Beef, which elevates the flavor. Next time, I'll be ordering the regular-sized bowl because the mini portion felt too small to fully enjoy this savory meal.

    Maggot
    Araceli J.

    Half way into eating my food I noticed that there might be a maggot in my food . After double and triple checking it definitely was a maggot. I called the store , spoke with a nice gentleman and let him know what I found in my food. He told me that it's not a maggot that it's something that comes from the broccoli. He let me know that someone earlier that week or the week prior called about the same thing too And again gave me reassurance that it was not a maggot that it was just something that comes from broccoli I took a picture of it. I looked up what these maggot looking things are that come from broccoli and they are in fact maggots.

    Magic Rewards

    I've recently been trying to eat healthier in an effort to better my health numbers after I noticed they had exacerbated this past year. I knew about Flame Broiler, a dime a dozen shop, but I had forgotten they specialized in healthy bowls that are also good for your soul. Thanks to Fivestars, which I found this location while scrolling around on the app, I may have found my new spot for eats that are healthier than burgers and fries. This Flame Broiler is located in Long Beach by the traffic circle next to Cyclebar. I mention this because inside the restaurant, there's actually a stationary bicycle from Cyclebar. Why they did this, I'm not too sure, but I think it's appropriate to have those two businesses adjacent to one another so that way, after a tough workout or a cycling class, you can treat yourself to some healthy eats that don't taste too bad! I was planning to hit up several places that day, so I only got a Mini Chicken Bowl on this visit. The chicken is NAE, which stands for No Antibiotics Ever. They also offer beef and tofu, or you can get the best of two different worlds. I don't like tofu, and I'm trying to avoid red meat, hence my choice for chicken. The cashier then asked if I wanted white or brown rice. Since brown rice is a lot healthier, that's what I went with. He also recited the list of vegetables that would accompany the chicken and rice, and I agreed to have it all on there. The vegetables are blanched, which generally retains more of the nutrients that my body most definitely needs! It took about 2 to 3 minutes before they were done with my bowl. Quite fast! I'll have to try a regular size bowl to see how much longer they'd need to prepare it. The cashier asked if I'd like teriyaki sauce or hot sauce. I wasn't expecting hot sauce to be an option, and I wasn't sure how hot their hot sauce was, so I simply went with teriyaki. He gave me two cups of that, though I only used one and saved the other one for later. He also included a fork in my small takeout bag. There is plenty of seating inside, even with the presence of the Cyclebar stationary bicycle. I sat at a table and enjoyed every bite of that mini bowl! However, I do believe it would have been tough to eat without any sauce as everything in the bowl, including the chicken, was quite dry. I would also say that one cup of teriyaki sauce might not be enough to satisfy your taste buds, so if you do get a regular bowl, try to ask for a second sauce. The walls are adorned with posters that analyze the ingredients in their bowls: The beef is USDA Choice Angus Beef. The chicken is USDA All-Natural Chicken sans skin. The tofu is organic, extra firm and non-GMO. The proteins are charbroiled. The rice is U.S. extra fancy Calrose medium grain rice grown in NorCal. The vegetables are blanched. Wait, didn't I already say this? I can definitely appreciate how they are being transparent in their ingredients so that we, the customers, know exactly what we are paying for. If you'd like, you can also add green onions on top at no extra charge! At the front window, there's also a poster that advertises their rewards program called Magic Rewards, which is different from Fivestars. From looking at their website https://flamebroilerusa.com/, points can't be earned on in-person purchases. Instead, you can only earn points online, which is contrary to Fivestars, which rewards you a point for every order you make in store. It might be a little confusing having two separate rewards programs for the same eatery, but I think as long as you know that one program rewards online orders while the other rewards in-person orders, you should not get them confused. If Magic Rewards starts awarding points on in-person orders, I wouldn't know if you'd be allowed to double-dip. It's definitely something that will be on my radar, however, in the near future. Overall, I enjoyed my mini chicken bowl, and I look forward to visiting Flame Broiler more often whenever I'm in need of something healthy and don't want to cook at home lol.

    Regular NAE Korean Spicy Chicken Bowl
    Bryan T.

    Came here specifically for the Korean spicy chicken and it was not good. Better to order regular chicken.

    Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen needed a quick weekday meal. We were greeted upon entry and the person manning the front desk was kind and helpful. The food is simple, rice bowls with your choice of proteins (including tofu), veggies, and sauce. Just what was needed for a healthy version of fast food. The end.

    Chicken bowl no sauce with veggies no carrot
    Delanie W.

    Employees were friendly, made my order perfectly with no sauce or carrots. A minimal wait time.

    Half and half w/ green onions and brown rice
    Steven N.

    This place has good food and what you'd expect from a chain semi-fast food joint. The place is in a plaza and area where there are a lot of food options, so competition is stiff. The food is not too bad, chicken and beef are good. I personally think the rice is too dry. The workers are nice and I've never had a problem with them. I also like that this is one of the few places that offers a loyalty program for its customers. Honestly, this is one of those places that you can stop by for quick bite of healthy food. But with so many good options in the area, it probably would not be a go-to spot for many.

    Dark,  black avocado
    Patty M.

    Make sure you check your orders before leaving the store. Ordered 2 sides of Avocado with the 2 mini bowls. This is what the avocado looked like when I got to where I was going to eat a few minutes after picking up the order.

    Chicken bowl white meat
    Daniela C.

    This flame broiler was very disappointing. I ordered a regular bowl with broccoli and white meat and they gave me very little white meat, definitely not worth the extra $1.50 upgrade charge. Seems like they were being very stingy with the chicken. The first picture is of what they gave me and the second picture is the same exact order from a different location.... You can see the amount of chicken given is very different

    My regular bowl half and half you can tell they put effort to retain costumers coming back forsure

    This isn't my first Cane's rodeo. I used to hit up the Costa Mesa location a lot back when the…read morechain was first expanding in California. The core experience here is similar, but this location does a great job leaning into local Long Beach culture, something other reviewers said too. Cane's seems genuinely involved with local high schools, and the walls are lined with alumni photos and neighborhood history. Much appreciated. Service is fast, genuinely faster than In-N-Out, which is saying something for a California chain. The value is strong too, $10-15 usually gets you a solid amount of food. The standout is the Texas toast which is buttery, nicely crisped, and honestly kind of unique for a California fast food spot. The chicken itself is fine, nothing special, but it doesn't need to be great because the real star is the Cane's sauce. A smoky, tangy mayo-based dip that's genuinely distinctive. There's a reason you can find it bottled in grocery stores now. Fries are just okay, but again, everything's better with the sauce. A few downsides: the drive-through moves surprisingly slow for how popular it is (never seen it move fast, even on slow days). The interior can also feel overstimulating. The disco ball is charming but the lights are a bit much, and it gets loud. That's especially true late at night, since they're open until almost 4 AM and it draws a big crowd of post-club twenty-somethings and students from CSULB and Long Beach City College. If you can look past the slower drive-through and the sensory overload inside, it's a great spot for a late-night bite.

He came home and made dinner, which then promptly fell on the floor. His shoulders just slumped. I said, let me get you some Dave's (He loves DHC).
