Chicken tasted extremely old. The food was inedible. Just horrible quality. If i could give 0 out of 10 i would. Customer Service was good but I doubt I'll return because the food was horrible. Waste of money. read more

We've been here like 5x in the last month. Love this Flame Broiler! The staff members are always so nice. The spot in clean. Prices are so reasonable. I love that I can track the nutritional content since you can find the info on their website and it is pretty healthy compared to other spots. They have a crazy good deal between 3pm-6pm as well. I'll def be comin back here often! read more

Delicious!!! Great staff too!!!! In town for a couple weeks and we went back 3 times!! read more

My goodness. The chicken teriyaki from this place is one of the driest and saddest I've have ever tasted. The dish should be called something else because IHMO it has nothing to do with teriyaki. Second, they give you a ton of unpleasant looking and uneven sized little itty bitty pieces of chicken, but the worse thing is that they are all dry. And at the bottom there's the rice, but with zero flavor and it feels a bit old with dry as well. I was really sad because I'm a huge fan of teriyaki. The teriyaki sauce is awful by the way, and the sriracha sauce is fake or is mixed with something else also. Very disappointed and not going back to eat here. read more

Food is always great at flame broiler. I like to get a bowl with veggies rice and white meat.. super tasty! Customer service at this location is always great, Juan was so attentive and friendly Would have given this place a 5 stars but there's no touch less payment system. I don't always have my physical card on me.. it's almost 2025.. let's get w it!! read more

The better version of Panda Express You know whenever you go to panda and there's chicken but they give you 90% beans. This is 100% chicken and whatever you want. The service was really good and the guy at the counter was very nice. It was very quiet but you can expect that because it's a takeout restaurant. 10/10 I used to never come here because it's to far but I saw it on the way to a soccer game and on my way back got it. read more

Flame Broiler - Regular Angus Beef Bowl with Side of White Rice and green onions. - Fast Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

Unbelievable how rude and bad service was here. I work as a cashier at a restaurant and cannot imagine treating a customer like this. Friday, 4/10/26 at 6:44, I had an uber eats pickup. Upon arrival, the female cashier with two ponytail buns (glasses dark hair) looked at me like I was crazy, and dismissed that I had an order. I told her my name, and even showed her my phone. "Where is the name I do not even see the order" when I had it pulled up on my phone. When she realized the name, she did not apologize at all. When she was tying the bag as I reached to grab it from her, she looked at me like I was insane and pulled the bag away from me, like it needed to be double knotted. That's when I let her know- I wasn't a driver, I was a customer picking up MY OWN ORDER. How insane to treat someone like that, that hasn't been in your store before! I have never been here!! She treated me so poorly, I don't care how good the food is, I will never come back here based upon service alone!!! read more

This is the second best Flame Broiler location. I come here because the Glendale location is closed on Sunday. My only complaint, is this location gives inconsistent amount of chicken in their bowls. Sometimes they give you enough, sometimes they don't give you the same amount as the last time. However, this place is clean and service is friendly. And best of all this place is open everyday of the week. read more

Jose, the manager, runs this Franchise like a small business. He greets everyone with a smile and friendly conversation. The food is consistent, and Jose always works with my diet plan to keep my fitness goals on track. I always get the chicken and veggies bowl. The chicken is perfectly cooked. The brocolli is soft, but still has some crunch to it. If you're looking for a healthy meal and want to support a great business in Pasadena, come here to Flame Broilers! read more

Flame Broiler has been here in this plaza for at least a decade and it is a great option for tasty and clean food. The menu choices are mini bowl, regular bowl, and plate with various meat selections like chicken, beef, etc. The sauce self service station has been taken away in recent years and the prices are a bit steeper than a conventional fast food or Asian restaurant though. read more

Flame Broiler - a little expensive for $21 but still tasty! - Fast Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

Whats amazing is the food has always been great! But the people there far exceed greatness

Always consistent quality of food and service. I come to this place often (about 3x a week) for lunch as I work in the area. Usually will get the mini bowl with steamed rice, angus beef, and avocado. They have pretty decent drink options as well. Dining area is nothing spectacular just a clean place to sit and eat and move on. Staff is always very nice and service is quick. Keep up the good work flame broiler team! read more

I used to order from this Flame Broiler at least once a week and about 3 bowls minimum per order. The food was good most of the time. At times my order was incorrect for example we would ask for half chicken and half beef and only get chicken or asked for customized veggies and not get it but nothing that prompted me to call the store to complain because I didn't think it was a big deal. I liked that their menu is simple and there's very little opportunity for them to mess up the order. I was wrong. The day finally came when I decided to stop giving my business to this particular Flame Broiler. I placed an order online (Order #26759167625428999) on 05/13/2024 at 11:27am. When my coworker went to pick up the order he was made aware that they had no avocados, and he was instructed to go online to get his refund. In the order we added avocado to 3 bowls for an additional fee of $2.55 per bowl. That's about $7.65 plus tax. We went online and there is nowhere on the website were you can request a refund. It only gives you the option to contact the location. I called and the girl that answered said that she had told my coworker that he needed to go online to get the refund. I told her that there's no option to request a refund. I asked for a gift card with the amount that is owed to me in return and she said there's no gift cards. I asked if I can get cash and she said no. Then she turned the phone over to her manager, Juan Sepulveda. After explaining the situation and telling him that I wanted my money refunded since I was charged for an item I didn't receive, Juan started acting defensive. All I wanted was my money back. He didn't provide a solution. He just said he will talk to the owner and call me back the same day. It's Tuesday 05/22 and I yet to get a call from anyone. Juan Sepulveda was not able to resolve such a small request and instead acted in a lazy way by directing the customer to get assistance online when they could have easily made things right on the spot. Juan Sepulveda needs more training on how to deal with these type of situations. If I was the manager I would have given my customer the option of a free bowl of similar price value but he was not able to come up with a solution. The local owner is now refusing to provide a refund and to reply to the corporate office with a solution as well read more

I'll tell you what... I love Flame Broilers for their simplicity and tastiness. This one on Colorado in Pasadena is No Joke! They always come through. Open on New Years Day and still making some great food! I thank you guys!! No matter what I order, I always order a side of the Short Ribs! My addiction! And this dude cooks sooome good ribs! Im am appreciative! Thank you guys! Happy New Year! And thank you for coming through all year long! Much love! Great people! Always a friendly atmosphere. Lets start the new year right! read more

Flame Broiler is one of the healthiest and cheapest fast food options you'll find in this area. Sure, you can go grab an In-N-Out Double Double combo right up the street, but for the same price you can get yourself a chicken bowl you'll feel good about after eating. As some other reviewers have mentioned, the chicken can be a bit dry sometimes, but that's usually when you go at off-peak hours, when the meat's been sitting there for a while. I've been coming here a lot during lunch hours lately and the chicken has always been cooked to my liking, and when you add the brown rice, veggies, green onions, magic + hot sauce, you've got yourself a killer lunch. read more

Juan was amazing and very sweet. Establishment needs an updated POS system. Food was fast and good.

The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcomed. However, the food was okay. We ordered the half and half spicy Korean chicken and beef. Unfortunately, a few hours later my boyfriend started feeling abdominal pain and had to go to the hospital the next day, so we won't be coming back. He's still in pain and has been alleviating it with prescription these past few days. read more

I have gotten Flame Broiler several times, and from several different locations. The first thing that stood out to me is how consistent the restaurants are across the board. This is a good thing! The food is consistently good. Teriyaki chicken bowls are a gift to my mouth as far as I'm concerned. I really enjoy them, and I love that they can even be healthy. I appreciate that you have your choice of white or brown rice here (that is not the case at every teriyaki chicken restaurant). The ingredients also seem to always look and taste fresh, which is critical for both chicken and veggies. The only demerit as far as I'm concerned is that they're a bit skimpy on the sauce, and that the teriyaki sauce is a little watery for my preference. Otherwise definite thumbs up here! read more

Food is always good and the service is always amazing, not one time have they been anything other than kind and helpful.

Great healthy food that tastes amazing. Sauces are delish. Love the portion options. The manager is amazing. He guided me to wonderful food choices on my first visit. Funny--I thought this place served burgers and fries when I walked in, but the Korean chicken and beef bowls that they actually serve are amazing. Food was hot, looked delicious, and delivered on complex flavors that I loved. I'll be dreaming of this meal and can't wait to go back. read more

I love flame broiler, but it seems every time I go I wish I bought a bag of beef and chicken jerky. I love beef but I honestly say I've had better jerky every time. It's not appealing tarrying to flavor and freshness from dry over cooked meat. Unfortunately flame broiler seems to more flame dryness than fresh flame broiled meat. As much as I love supporting small business it seems integrity of food here has left the building with flame broiler. I paid $20 for jerky meat over rice. I honestly question why not just use jerky meat. Same flavor and buying jerky meat doesn't require a 10 minute wait unless the grocery store line is long. Unfortunately my benefit for flame broiler is waning. Maybe going another few years in before my next visit might result better. Blessings to those who enjoy read more

Check your order before you leave...I got half spicy chicken, half beef and they charged me for it on the receipt but all I got was half an order of the chicken read more

I make an occasional trip here for a quick meal. It's nice that you do not have to wait a long time to get food. I went with the plate with beef, rice, veggies, and instead of the fruit, extra salad. The salad is basically raw shredded cabbage (green and purple) and shredded carrots with a light sweet dressing. My question is is it really angus beef, if it is, it seems to be a lower grade. I like the magic sauce which now you can purchase it by the bottle. read more

I'm just going to get to the point... It's convenient. It's cheap. It's healthy. Gains "bro". The end. PS: the triple hot sauce is legit *insert fire emoji* read more

Flame Broiler - Half and half, regular bowl - $8.65 - Fast Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

I come here sometimes when I want to eat healthy. And the food and restaurant setting is very good. However one employee there named Ricky was rather rude to me and a couple of other customers on a recent visit. He would bark out at us "YOUR ORDERS READY!!!". Okay I get it, you're having a bad day. But don't take it out on your customers. read more

This was my first time going to Flame Broiler in a really long time and it tasted really good. I got the Half & Half Bowl with Spicy Chicken & Beef Avocado & Extra Green Onion. It was my first time trying the Spicy chicken and it was really flavorful. I hope it's not just a limited time menu item. My veggies were also really cooked perfectly, not too soft and not too hard. read more

Flame Broiler - Half & Half Bowl with Spicy Chicken & Beef. Avocado & Extra Green Onion - Fast Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

Not a bad alternative for lunch on the go for teriyaki bowls. I like to order the chicken bowl with veggies over white or brown rice. I dont see much advantage in getting the combination dishes over the bowls as the side salad that comes with the combo is rather forgetful. I'm fine with the chicken teri bowl with veggies. Just ask for extra teriyaki sauce on the side as their containers for them are rather small. Recently I got the works bowl which is half beef teriyaki and half chicken with veggies. I opted for brown rice this time and I liked it a lot. The chicken is tastier IMO than the beef but the half & half is a good thing to order. I've always taken my food to-go. Service at the register was always decent. No complaints. They always give plenty of napkins and enough chopsticks for your order. read more

We like Chinese food, but not love, so we got to change our taste a bit sometimes. They cater! (I give one star!) That is probably why our company orders lunch here.This place is located on Colorado/Sierra Madre, not too far from our office, so that is good. It's part of the Pavilion plaza, you cannot miss it if you drive around and actually LOOK. Came here to pick up lunch with my coworkers and I thought, 'dang, gotta move all those caters into the car' Flame Boiler employees actually carries it to your car. (well deserved for another star) What we had... - A box of chicken, which is pretty much grilled and it has Teriyaki sauce on the side for you to mix. (At least they don't drown their chickens like other restaurants) - A box of Korean Ribs, which I thought was okay, because they were a bit burnt. -White or Brown? We got a half of each color rice. A few of us at work were relief that there was brown rice. We totally needed it for our diet. (another star for thinking healthy) The overall, their food is alright. You can find this meal as a healthy meal. Flame Broiler does have a nutrition board and a list of what the meat was made of and what it contains. So far, NO MSG! Come on, no MSG, who would believe? Will cater here again! read more

Flame Broiler - Company food. Chicken, beef, brown rice and broccoli - Fast Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

Just ordered a couple combo bowls and was disappointed. The beef was tough and the chicken dried out. I was asked if I wanted any sauce I said I'd take 4 of each. I was told they are only allowed to give 3 of each and agreed although they each contain less than a tablespoon (yes, I measured). When I got home I realized I was only given 3 red and 3 "magic" sauce but no green. If you're going to serve tough dried out protein the least you could do is provide enough sauce to add some moisture and flavor. The only reason I even gave 2 stars was for the friendly guy working the register. Won't be coming back. read more

Gentleman in the front with black and grey hair did a phenomenal job working with the amount of people he was dealing with in the front very nice and helpful! Made my experience very nice! And the girl and guy in the back were getting the orders out almost immediately! The whole team did amazing! They all deserve a raise immediately if you ask me! read more

Flame Broiler does chicken rice bowls the best. If you keep in mind that Flame Broiler is a healthy and fast food option, it's easier to appreciate what we get for the low price we pay. Their mini size is enough to fill me. Their rice is fresh, their veggies don't taste like plastic and their lightly charred chicken is cooked well. The magic sauce is magic and their sauces are self-serve. As far as simple satisfying meals go, this checks all the boxes. What I appreciate most is how they had the common sense to know there was an issue with my order so they didn't make it until I confirmed. I had placed my order through an app but the app did not capture everything I wanted. When I got to the store to pick up my order, they told me that the ordered received was basically for just chicken. If they just made my order and not questioned if it was right, I would have rushed in and out without checking what I got. They saved me from some disappointment. read more

My husband and I enjoy this place. He loves the spicy double jalapeño sauce. Service is great.

Last 2 times I've been here have been terrible. They lazily boil the chicken when they don't feel like cooking at off hours of the day. None of my chicken looked or tasted like it ever touched the broiler nor did I see anybody grilling chicken. Got a veggie bowl for the wife and they loaded it up with cabbage with just bits of carrot and broccoli. read more

Flame Broiler - Fast Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

Friendly staff but mediocre food. The white meat chicken was pretty tough. The Magic Sauce was a game changer and the only reason I finished the entire bowl- ask for extra sauce though because I was only given one small container. The rest of the bowl is pretty bland. Veggies with rice is mostly just rice without much seasoning. If I had more sauce maybe it would have been better. read more

I love this place. Healthy quick option to go.. My only complaint is that since COVID, the self serve sauce stations are gone. I would love for them to bring them back. Now they ask how many you want and try to charge for extras... (they never really do, but its annoying) I will be back! read more

Quick, easy and somewhat healthy for lunch! Had the beef bowl with brown rice and it was good!

My grandmother loves this place but the last time she ate here she got severely sick and was in ICU from e.coli in the blood stream which turned septic. I need someone who's in charge to make sure that all employees are trained properly about cross contamination, stored temperatures of food, and making sure the store is clean. I dont want anyone to endure what she had to go through and I'm 100% sure it was from here. I'm not trying to make the company look bad, I'm trying to make it more aware so that you can fix it and prevent further harmful bacteria in the store. Thank you. read more

Haven't had flame broiler in a while so I decided to have some for dinner......yuck not sure if it was just this location but the food was nasty. I order the 1/2 and 1/2 food tasted so old and had no flavor. I'll stick to waba grill read more

I like this option when I just finished my work out and I'm hungry but don't want junk food and can't eat at home. I usually get a child size mix with half veggies half brown rice. I never CRAVE eating here but I am always glad I chose this instead of Mc Donalds. They have parking which they share with the grocery store Vons. It seems people do not know how to drive so be careful. You can eat inside which to me is always freezing. Great for the summer not so great in the winter. I usually take it to go. There is a place to eat outside if you really must. It's comfortable enough. Service is pretty good I am always received with a smile no complaints the restaurant is always clean and bonus it's near my gym. The food is consistently good, hot and delicious. I will continue to come here as often as I need to. I'm so glad they are there! read more
