Flavored well, the area is kinda sketchy with homeless people. I like how they separated the sauces. That sliced Korean sauce is soooooo spicy just so you know. Clean area, kind service. Just wish they could fill up the bowl more. Barely any veggies, but I'll say they do put a good amount of the protein. read more

The lady who is here working is very rude and argumentative. My husband asked for a mini half and half bowl and she gave him a chicken bowl. I sent him back up there and she wouldn't make it right. So I came back myself. I told her I would like a refund if she couldn't give me what my husband asked for. She argued me down and told me she'll show me the cameras I told her I will wait. So I sat down and waited. The sound is too low you can't hear him. I always get the same thing every time I come here. I will never return here again and I've been coming for the last 15 years. They've lost a customer due to her rudeness. Instead of just making the doggone mini bowl she wants to argue with me! The guy in the back agreed to give me a side of beef at no charge and she tried to charge me lol what a jerk! read more

I don't usually review franchises because you generally know what to expect, it's the same menu across all locations. However, I want to comment on the customer service here, which was much better than what I anticipated based on recent reviews. The staff was very polite and efficient when taking my order. The food came out really quickly, and I had no trouble getting more sauce. I was in and out within 5 minutes. I've visited several Flame Broiler locations, and this one is definitely among my favorites. While their menu is the same across all locations, the food quality here is the most consistent and fresh. read more

Absolutely love flame broiler and this location, the owner and staff are really kind. The food is absolutely delicious and I love the variety of sauces. Located in a convenient shopping center. I highly recommend this location. read more

When I got out of my car to enter the building, I was hit with a powerful sewage smell! Can't say it was this business, but it made walking to the entrance highly unpleasant. The food we ordered was fine, but for the higher price. read more

I agree to the other reviews on this Flame Broiler's Yelp Page. I just won't come back. My rule is simple, if you are the owner and you become rude to your customers for something so simple as asking for sauces, then in my books you are petty and stingy. I paid 32.75 for three organic tofu bowls. This young guy who claimed himself to be the owner today when I went to this branch of flame broiler I have a message for you: "if you run a restaurant or a fast food joint, learn your customer service basics. If I asked you for sauces and you gave me the evil eye and told me that I cannot give you more cause I already gave you more and is against the store policy (which you gave me exactly 15 of those tiny little sauce cups) Then number 1: show me the damn policy, number 2: tell me before I ask you for sauces that hey I can give you this much but after that unfortunately I have to charge you. Just be NICE! Correct! But why would you! You wanted to be a big good guy and didn't wanted to charge, but when I asked for more you become rude! So tell me from the get go that there is a charge after a certain limit, so as a customer I know. But No! You had to be rude about it. If you had informed me nicely like a nice person would do I would have gladly paid you your $0.50 cents a cup. Just to put it in perspective, even if I open those small little sauce cups (which is not even filled to the max) and I put them in a bowl, it won't even make a dent, and that's how much of the sauces you gave me when I asked you today. Before this owner there was another gentlemen who was super nice and never had a bad experience with him. You can even check my previous review. But man I came back after ages to eat at this location and this is what I had to go through. The reason for the owner being rude was after asking for sauces, I asked him for some Jalapeños which was free at one point in time, at that he snapped. And again we were three of us. So our request for sauces were more. Again who cares if I had to pay for this extra sauces! Just inform me nicely. I paid almost $32 which you made profit of, so why would I care to pay you another $5 for those damn sauces if I had to. But the issue was you became rude to me and you become stingy bout those little tiny cup of sauces that you give to your clients. So don't ever think that you did an obligation on my soul by giving me those little stingy sauce cups for free. Never coming back here read more

Worst service ever! To work at a food chain it's understandable but Kelly Yams service was terrible and disrespectful for an adult to act in such ways. upon ordering she was rolling her eyes throughout my order and smacking her lips the entire time. Never going to this location. read more

Couldn't cancel the order placed in the app just after couple of minutes, despite having to call them when I was at another store on the same street that did not do rewards or online ordering in the app. I thought it was the correct one as it appeared to be the nearest location. Had to driver another 8-9 miles and this store that won't cancel, closes earlier than other stores at 8pm, so I had to rush over. No problem with the sauces I needed. 2 magic sauces cups and 3 jalapeños. I'd preferred the pump dispensers they had, but they were not filled or used at all. But I noticed more rice than beef. Normally, half rice and half beef. However the quality of the ingredients were good. Ordered the Angus Beef bowl with white rice and green onions. read more

I AM NEVER COMING BACK My boyfriend and I walk in with our bikes after riding for 5 miles. Naturally, we were tired and wanted to sit down and check our phones before we ordered. The BOY behind the counter told us that "seating is for customers only.. just letting you know..." He was extremely rude to us to the point where we literally just packed up and got the Habit down the street. On the way out he told us to go F ourselves!! This abhorrent behavior literally made us leave!! You lost an order because of your attitude, pal. I hope he gets fired. Just. WOW. read more

Excellent food - fresh & warm with the friendliest service. Clearly well managed & was enjoyable.

LOVE!! They're the best and we go all the time, they never drop the ball and they cook their chicken perfect!

i've been to a few flame broilers in the IE, and this location is my favorite. imo, best tasting chicken every time. they're generous w the portions. i can always count on them when i want to eat something clean and yummy!! service is always pleasant too :D just ordered a catering order of chicken to munch on for a few days hehe read more

So disappointed. I go there at 10 AM so I could get a fresh chicken bowl only to see them put cooked chicken on the grill that they just cleaned so obviously I got yesterday's chicken. I'll think twice about going there again. read more

So disappointed in this location! It used to be the only location I would go to or recommend. I order a regular chicken bowl and a well done extra cut chicken bowl for the past 3x i get home there are no veggies in the bowls and the chicken is not well cooked or cut... calling the store is no use every time its the lady who calls herself the manager Kelly Yam (when you call to complain she will use the name Tammy) has the worst customer service i have ever experienced!! My loyalty to this location is over! The quality overall is just going down hill. read more

Went in for lunch yesterday. It was my first time trying this Resturant. The guy behind the counter can't remember his name was helpful and polite. The wait wasn't long and the food was excellent! And to top it off they have my favorite soda. Would definitely recommend and will come back for more lunch while I'm at work read more

I've never been more disrespected in my life!! I wish I could give less stars! I was treated like a vagrant today because I walked in with my bike and sat down before I ordered. The very rude boy behind the counter told me "seating is for customers only, JUST letting you know.." like we didn't already know that. I was going to place an order, but the behavior of that worker made me leave! On the way out he actually told me to go $&@# myself!! I hope this boy gets fired for being so nasty. He wouldn't act so big if he weren't behind that counter. Apparently I look like a vagrant ... I called to report him to a manager and he IS the manager and argued with me over the phone saying "I don't think that was the case that you were going to order" I will be reporting him to corporate I have never seen such horrible behavior in a place of business in my life I will NEVER be coming back read more

cashier was being really rude to customers while taking orders raising her voice and being disrespectful

Beef or Short ribs was burnt and taste bitter. Threw it away. Not recommended. Waste of money

Racist Asian women against Mexicans at front counter. I see her be nice to all people but takes exception with Mexicans. The last straw was when I saw her specifically treat an older couple badly.

I came in 8/27/24 and got the two bowl special. The lady at the from look Vietnamese was extremely rude. She wouldn't answer my question and talked over me twice. She corrected me when I asked for 1 extra sauce for each and said I need to ask for two sauces. I won't be coming back. read more

I'm just disappointed in the food. We ordered the tofu bowls with vegetables instead of rice. Perhaps it would've been better if we chose rice instead of vegetables. There was an adequate amount of tofu. The salad simply consisted of Shredded raw green cabbage. The hot sauce tasted like what you might get from Taco Bell which is OK if that is what you are hoping for. But the major disappointment for me was, I was expecting sautéed vegetables, and I received steamed cabbage and carrots. This is the sort of thing one would expect in the 1980s when going to Denny's and asking for a vegetarian meal when nobody heard of vegetarian food, but this is 2024 and people know about vegetarian food, and people want some flavor and texture . So basically, I got a bowl of little tofu cubes with no flavor, although they were slightly charred a little bit, and some raw shredded cabbage and 3 or 4 pieces of steamed cabbage and thinly sliced rounds of carrots with zero flavor. The only flavor in this bowl came from the hot sauce. The restaurant calls itself Korean style so I was expecting a lot more flavor. This was like a "diet plate" from 1985 . read more

+JMJ+ this rating is so late but I wanted to get it out. I was assisted by Tessa on 4/3/2018 and I had a big order that was really nuanced, detailed - with vegetables, with brown rice, with white rice, add avocados. Tessa was so gracious and professional and patient. She made sure I was updated continuously on the progress of my order. I left with a smile on my face. She told me to call for her boss in the morning but I was never ever to connect with him. I give props to Flame Broiler for hiring Tessa. Highest possible recommendation. - Kenny :O read more

I've been coming here for years best food ever I love how it's a family oriented family operated so everything is clean and they do their best to bring the food fresh and good quality we appreciate you guys in the city of Riverside it's so hard to find some good food so keep it up and love and peace read more

terrible , chicken was dry & had absolutely no flavor , needs some improvement on cooking.

This is the only Flame Boiler I will go to. Clean, friendly, & the food is always fresh, never dry or overcooked. Every other flame boiler I've gone to either the food is just reheated & not fresh or undercooked. This Flame Boiler is Asian Family owned & it shows. They have pride in their business & food. Highly recommend. read more

I never knew that the Flame Broiler so close to my house. When I found out that there was one close I was really excited. I went it in and ordered my food with ease. The lady that Helped me was really nice. The service was fast and efficient. I wish they put magic sauce on the food. I noticed that the lady was sitting there talking on her cellphone while working on the job. I will always be back because the food is so good! read more

I LOVE the Flame Broiler but this location is a bit stingy in the meat portion, especially if u use a coupon for the 4-bowl family order. The staff is friendly but the restaurant is a bit grimy and sticky. Obviously they're busy enough to slack on the cleanliness aspect. I wouldnt mind ordering "to go" from here, but definitely would not eat at the restaurant again. The McKinley Street location is a cleaner and a brighter facility. Their bowl serving is more hearty and generous with the meat & veggies portion. I'm more comfortable bringing my family to eat in the Corona restaurant. read more

The tofu bowl was not that good. The tofu was charred and it just gave my meal an awful taste. They were very stingy with the tofu as well, I basically had a bowl of pure white rice. Wouldn't come back to this place. read more
