A tried a true for me! My go to is the regular chicken bowl. I've been ordering 3-4 bowls online for the week and picking up. My food has always been ready when I arrive. You can get 3 sauces per bowl. Chicken is juicy and well flavored. Almost 50 grams of calories for just 500 calories is a win in my book. Plenty of seating inside but I usually just take to go. read more

Great spot for a quick and healthy dinner in the area. We came by here and were quickly greeted and helped by the kind staff. It was my first time here in a while and the staff was helpful in helping me make my selections. The food was fresh and was a great healthy option! I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at this Flame Broiler location! This was my first time visiting this specific location, and I was truly impressed. The restaurant was spotless, and I really appreciated the outdoor seating option. that it made the visit even more enjoyable. I want to give a special and heartfelt thank you to Elma. Elma's customer service was genuinely above and beyond. Elma is an incredibly kind and compassionate person, and Elma made my experience feel safer, more comfortable, and absolutely amazing. It's rare to come across someone who brings that level of warmth to their work, and I'm so grateful. I ordered the chicken with white rice, carrots, and green onions, one of the few options I can eat with my allergies. As always, Flame Broiler delivered the consistent flavors and textures I love. Thank you, Elma, for being so awesome! I'll definitely be returning to this location. read more

Honestly better than I expected for a quick dinner! Something that I really appreciate is how upfront they are about how much meat you can get with each size - Mini Bowl - 3oz, Regular Bowl - 5oz, Plate - 7oz. On my last visit I got a Chicken Plate with white rice, but I see they also have beef and tofu for the proteins, and white/brown rice and veggies for the base. My Chicken Plate was around $13 and I was stuffed after eating it, so they really don't skimp on portions. I saw the chicken being grilled and it tasted fresh and not like a typical fast food place. I also got the magic sauce and double hot sauce. I really enjoyed the magic sauce, it was sweet and savory. The double hot sauce had a good amount of heat but didn't have that much of a flavor. Overall a great choice for a quick bite that doesn't feel like fast food! read more

I placed a take out order which I canceled seconds after, and placed a corrected 2nd order thinking the first one would be rightfully refunded. Then I was notified I was fully charged for the canceled order along with my 2nd order. 2 charges for a single order. This is a complete scam and fraud. Can someone please help me fix this? This is absurd! read more

Met a friend here for an impromptu dinner. Some positives: it was a clean restaurant and there was ample seating for disabled persons, the flavor itself was tasty for the food and their kimchi was yummy. Now to my disappointments: the portions were very small, not I realized that this was likely due to the server we received, I say that because I ordered a bowl to go and had a different server who was significantly more generous in their helping of meat than the girl I had for my dine-in order... That's frustrating and made me disappointed. I was disappointed in the size of the kimchi and the single-serve plastic that they come in, though I do think that it's clever for to-go orders it simply is wasteful and it was not enough kimchi to last my meal. Finally the "magic sauce" is just teriyaki, but it's good, skip the "hot sauce" it was buffalo in flavor and not enhancing to the meal at all. read more

Service was friendly and the place was clean. The food wasn't bad. I wanted to try it out and ordered the double meat bowl. They do give you a nice portion ordering that way vs the regular serving. I would come back and try another dish. read more

My friend and I both ordered the chicken breast bowls. Apparently, the chicken breast is cooked to order unlike the thigh meat which is sitting in the warmer. This should be a good thing. After a long wait, our order was ready. We both agreed that the chicken was over cooked and had no seasoning at all. The breast pieces were chunks that were tough. They also were not trimmed well therefore there were some fatty pieces. The brown rice and the "magic sauce" was good, I could eat that. Service was friendly. read more

Well, sorry Flame Broiler I have to change my review to 4 stars. I ordered today from the app. It gave me a pick up time for about 20 minutes later. I was at another business in the shopping center so it was a short drive. I went in early and was asked how can we help you. I said I was picking up an order for Luana. She had a bit of an attitude and said it's too early. Umm, I knew that, I wasn't demanding my order. No need to be snippy. Got my order, looked in the bag and everything was there. Cool, I went home. Ugh! Two of the bowls were made wrong. I checked my receipt to see if I made a mistake and I didn't. It tasted good but I'm disappointed. Our order wasn't complicated, 2 of the bowls were supposed to be identical but only one was right? Mistakes happen but that's kind of weird. read more

I came here for my lunch break and ordered the regular chicken bowl with rice and veggies and green onions! I also got the magic sauce and their triple hot sauce and green hot sauce was really good! They give really good portions. It was very filling! I will definitely be back. read more

Food tastes great. We both got the mini rice bowl with beef. Wonderful flavors and the sauces they have are great. From mild to super spicy. Tastes better than Waba and LL. Great service. This will be our go to spot before bowling. read more

I tried the Angus beef mini bowl, and it didn't quite meet my taste expectations. It was a bit too salty for my liking, but the sauce did help improve the flavor somewhat. I plan to give it another try in the future, and my rating may change, but for now, I'd give it 3 stars. The service was fast and it was busy when I went there at 12nn. read more

Hubby, daughter and I came here for lunch. We walked in and were greeted hello. I told hubby I wanted a chicken bowl. It comes with veggies and green onion drizzled on top. I also got a zero lemonade vitamin water. My chicken was good and the rice was perfect. My zero vitamin water was a little bland but it wasn't sweet. I think I added too much ice. Food was pretty good here. It was a healthy option for us. There were plenty of tables inside and one single restroom for customers only. It was clean. Plenty of parking up front and around. I would come back if I am in the area. read more

Really nice fast food pick up spot for a bowl. We ordered over the phone for pick up. I arrive 10 min later and really didnt know which line to stand in cause there seems to be an order line and a register line. I was a little confused but waited in the order line. Paid and picked up the food to get a taste of their bowls. For 10 bucks the bowls are nicely filled. We got the Angus beef bowls and the meat is mixed with some veggies. We were provided a lot of their magic sauce and when poured over the beef, it's pretty yummy. I gave this place 3 stars because the although the sauce is good, the meat was overcooked. Next time I'll try to ask for medium to medium rare and see if they provide that option. All in all, this was good for a quick rice bowl at almost 9 pm when alot of the same sort of spots are closed earlier. read more

Order Id: AACDYMU390AE I returned the whole order and will place a simpler one that will hopefully be hot. I ordered my food in app. I showed up early and waited which was ok but once I got my food the spicy Korean side was cold and the rice was cold for the main dish. I was told it is because the sauce for the Korean spicy is in a fridge and it made the Chicken cold. But what about the rice being cold? Great spot, I don't know what is happened this time. I gave the whole meal back, maybe I didn't know the sauce would do this to the chicken or asking for well done would make the rice cold. read more

I found a secret item at this place - it's called raw chicken!! Unfortunately, I ingested quite a bit of it since I was really hungry. From the pictures, it's obvious the uncooked meat extended past the different pieces. I felt something rubbery and cold... thought it was the sauce. I spit out the food just to check and voila, pink chicken! I should have taken a picture of my diarrhea I had later that night and posted it on here... I wonder if that would violate the ToS for yelp. I was not offered a refund so this place can go screw themselves. read more

Do you like pain? Decent quality for the price -- however unreasonable amount of spice. Cannot enjoy, heck could barely eat without each bite hurting more than the last. I enjoy spice, but who likes this much? Check yourself Flame Broiler -- flavor w/ spice OKAY, not just hot to check the box. Duh. read more

I have been coming here since college. It is nothing fancy but it does the job. I do like the fact that there is not a lot of oil and a decent amount of chicken and veggies. I do find a little bit strange that they always weigh the amount of chicken. why not just give a full scoop instead of making sure that its exact they just launched their new Korean spicy chicken bowl. Tender grilled chicken tossed in a spicy, sweet sauce that definitely packs a punch. I give it a 3/5 spice level but I'm also used to eating spicy food. Service is usually pretty good and the restaurant is always clean. do not forget to get extra sauce I literally pour all over my rice read more

Every time I go it's different...not consistent with the portion size (even though they weigh it)...sometimes I get more rice than veggie or a TON of cabbage and no other veggies....but I keep coming back b/c you can see them cooking it, it's semi healthy and the "Magic Sauce" is AMAZING! They are always very friendly and quick with their service! Wish they would build one closer to my home! But until then I will just keep buying their "Magic Sauce" and attempting to make my own bowls until I get back to Mira Mesa! read more

favorite spot for lunch. Its filling and healthy if you get veggies or brown rice. The chicken is perfectly marinated and their magic sauce is definitely magic. read more

Really, really disappointed that I have to write this because I used to absolutely love Flame Broiler. Recently I went to this Mira Mesa location and got a steak bowl to go, went home and ate half of it before realizing there was a dead bug in my food. Looks like some kind of maggot or caterpillar larvae. Absolutely disgusting! I tried contacting them through their website and their "contact us" just to get my money back and heard nothing back. I even went to Twitter to try and get ahold of someone there and was told a "team member" would be reaching out to me shortly but I've heard NOTHING back from anyone. All I wanted was my money back and they can't even bother to get back to me. Do yourself a favor and do NOT eat here. Their food-keeping practices are clearly not up to what they should be. There's no telling what you're actually eating. read more

Flame Broiler - half and half to go plate. - Fast Food Near Me - San Diego, California

Food is always fast and fresh. One of my go-tos when I have to actually go in to work.

Food was absolutely dry. Magic sauce is just a watered down teriyaki sauce and more importantly the angus beef was extremely bland. Dried Beef Jerky and rice and uncooked vegetables for $12 but the service was fine just average and the restaurant had an average hygienic environment. Nothing special just recommend going to chipotle next door to get your money's worth. read more

Flame broiler.. your typical stir fry meat and simple veggies with rice.. I have been wanting to try flame broiler for awhile so I decided to stop by and grab a bowl. The meat was good I chose reg beef and I got brown rice with veggies. The bowl was just too simple for me.. this is something you can definitely make at home and meal prep with.. I do love their sauce though! read more

Wow some reviews are brutal. I came in during normal hours. The employees are consistent with expectations in this area. The food options are great, even if you are on a keto or atkins type diet like me. I get the angus beef bowl on veggies, no rice. My kids get a mini chicken bowl with brown rice and veggies. Food plus 2 juice boxes (they have the honest ones, healthier) comes to $17. They have several help-yourself sauces from house sauce to triple-spicy. The place is super clean and super organized. For the price and quality, this is great. read more

I'm not sure why they have such low reviews here but each time I go here I always have a pleasant experience and the food is always consistent to me. I always order the angus beef plate with veggies and white rice. I love that they measure the servings so that if you're on a type of diet, you can easily count your macronutrients with this place. Their plates always fill me up and I never feel heavy after eating here which is why I enjoy it so much! I also love that they have different intensities for hot sauces! read more

Sadly, I didn't even get to try this place out. It would have been my first time doing so, and I live in the community. I arrived at 8:03pm. The sign on the front door said they closed at 9:00pm on Sunday's. When I entered, one girl was near the soda machine, obviously cleaning it out and had a large bucket of steaming water in her hands. Another girl behind the counter was cleaning/clearing things as well. The one behind the counter said, "were closed." I said, "well it says you close at 9:00pm." She replied, "That starts next week." I'm not sure if this is true or not? I mean, I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt, but something tells me they may have just been closing shop early. I could be wrong. It actually says on yelp they close at 8pm. So maybe it does start next week? I'm not sure, but it's kinda sad they put up a sign (and had the door UNlocked so people could walk in) if they were suppose to be closed. read more

it should be no stars but I had to pick at least one....Ordered online from this place and waited a hour and watched at least 25 people get their order and go not to mention the walk in customers that came and went before me that ordered after me. I can say a lot more but whats the point I just walked out didn't even bother to ask for a refund. The food looks amazing but the service TRASH! read more

This location was a little different from the others that I've been to. They have the food behind the glass so while you order they make it so you get it right as you pay. So if you want a quick bite, this is a good place to go. read more

I'm so excited they are here in Mira Mesa! I suggest their chicken (I don't really like the beef) with half rice and half veggies. I like their sauce as well!! FB is the original teriyaki chicken place for me and nothing compares! Parking in this side of the plaza is ample and it is next to Chipotle! I recommend! read more

Awful experience and horrible follow up from the ownership of the Mira Mesa location. As a retail manager up and down San Diego for 20+ years, I've seen more than my share of poor customer interactions from both sides of the counter. The incident was absolutely unprovoked or warranted! The employee was hostile, angry, and agitated; Clearly unfit to be dealing with the public. Upon my girlfriend trying to order, he began to get overly frustrated and slamming things about. He started to mutter and curse under his breath. His body language and actions were unsettling and aggressive in nature. Mind you, all she did was try to order food...as we turned to leave he continued to speak nonsense mixed with obscenities. The other employee just stood there and said nothing. After submitting a comment on Yelp, Google, and through the company website, the owner, Lamia Jemili, responded apologizing for the poor customer service and that he was in training and has been warned? This is far beyond a customer service issue and the fact he's new has no bearing on his volatile actions. She then has the nerve to offer 2 free bowls to come back?? No thank you. Not ever. You obviously condone this behavior from your staff and have no concept on what it takes to be successful in the service industry. As a local Store Manager and someone who lives within the community, I will passing on this experience to as many of my friends, customers, and social media sites as possible. read more

The food itself isn't bad. The fact that they seem to be so focused on the bottom line so much as to weigh your food as they put it in the bowl. They don't reset the scale after rice and veggies, so you end up getting just a little bit of protein and the bowl still isn't even full. I've heard this isn't the case at the other flame broiler locations, just this one. Also, they cook the tofu after you order it, it isn't readily available like the other protein. That would be a good thing except for the fact that they get annoyed when you order it cause they have to do additional work. read more

Decided to check this place put. Honestly was not too thrilled. Went with the angus platter with brown rice. Also included was a salad and an orange. The most flavorful component was the angus beef and even that coulf have been better. The "salad" was basically a dry coleslaw minus the mayo. I did have the option of adding a sesame oil vinaigrette, which I kindly obliged. I did however enjoyed their sauces. I tried every single sauce- hot, double hot, triple hot and the magic sauce. The hot sauce tasted like an over salted buffalo sauce. The double hot had a nice spicy and gritty flavor. The triple hot was litterally the hottest sauce they had that gave the burning sensation for my tongue. The magic sauce tasted like a combination of soy sauce and hoisin sauce, which was surprisngly good. Would I come back here? No, I don't think so. I'm not trying to be harsh. Just not my cup of tea. read more

It's a little different from what I'm used to but it's not such a big deal to me. They have everything ready behind the counter so you just tell them what you want and they make your bowl right there kind of like what you would do at a Poki restaurant. Which is cool because it speeds things up a lot. I used to go to the one in Sorrento and I would always have to call ahead so my order would be ready by the time I got there. Plenty of parking and the bowls are for a decent price. Customer service is okay whenever I go. Only problem I have is it just makes it hard for me to decide if I want Flame Broiler or Chipotle now. read more
