    Ribeye Steak
    Katrina V.

    Tried this place for a Friday lunch and we were the only ones there at noon. Service was slow which was a surprise. Our meal came with a free boba drink. The steak was a thin ribeye. Flavors were ok. interesting concept but not sure if i'll be coming back as it was ok

    This place has improved over the years and I just came back today with a friend to eat. I had gotten the ribeye steak with fries and mashed potatoes. My friend had gotten the steak garlic noodles. We also got golden fries fish balls which are always a hit every time. The total came out to $54 which isn't bad at all. Service is fast and there are new things added to the menu that I'm excited to try next time.

    Place is big and spacious, plenty of parking since it's in a big strip mall. The service is very nice and politely. Some of the foods we want to tried are not available here then one in Irvine (per the server said since they're short staff here). The foods are just aok, nothing appealing much (except the pics). The meat was bla...tasteless without the sauces but the fried was great, crispy outside and soft inside, perfectly fried. And the noodle was ok, I had better before and plenty of it. I wasn't disappointed since with the prices, you kind of wonder if it could be that good, and no it wasn't, just aok. I should have order the hot pot instead since they're known for it. Oh well, next time.

    Service was great. Lots of variety on their menu. Good came quick and had good flavor. A little salty for me, but I have a low tolerance. The stock was flavorful with a good ginger flavor.

    My friends and I came here for dinner, but most of us didn't order the hot pot. The one friend who did didn't finish her meal or rave about it, so take that as you will. That said, here's a review of the other entrees. We arrived on a Monday night at 9 PM, and there was no wait; we were practically the only customers. Most of us ordered the ribeye steak (medium) with different side options. I went with French fries and broccoli. They also gave us a hilariously pathetic side salad. Literally just a handful of lettuce with a squirt of vinegar. Ribeye Steak: 3/5 Mediocre at best. Given the price, I wasn't expecting a high-quality cut, but it was still underwhelming. The hot griddle made it messy to eat since the steak juices were leaking everywhere, some even spilled off the wooden tray. The fries were crispy, the broccoli was just blanched with no seasoning, and none of the sauces were particularly good (not that steak really needs sauce imo). For the price, Red Flame is fine. It gives off Denny's vibes: you're not really here for the food but if there's nothing else to eat (which, by the way, there is. Sabrosada is across the plaza), it'll do.

    I visited Red Flame for the first time and was really excited about their menu! They have individualized hot pot, quite a range of drinks, and steaks. It's also pretty affordable (our steak was a little over $20 - it was huge AND included sides)! Side note, I noticed that the waitstaff are pretty hands-off and there were only 2 other parties on a weekend evening. I liked the steak and the portions but the sides (mashed potato and fries) were unfortunately a little lackluster. The mashed potato was lacking flavor and kind of reminded me of powdered mashed potatoes. I also tried their lychee lemonade; if you like sweet, syrupy lemonades then this is for you, but personally did not find it refreshing.

    Ribeye Steak and House Special Hot Pot
    Tram V.

    We came on a Monday night and it was not busy with plenty of tables. Everything on the menu was under $23 dollars. The hotpots were $15.95. Honestly, this was such a great value! I live in San Jose and this would be $23-26 just for the hotpot. All the appetizers were great! My favorite was the egg rolls. My friend and I split the house special hot pot and the steak. The hot pot had great flavors but not a lot of toppings. The meat was overly cooked and too dried. The steak was tender and came with three different types of sauces. Overall, a good valued place with good food. There were only two waiters and they tried their best to keep up with all the orders and requests (we were a party of 11 with 3 kids).

    The Lamb Hot Pot
    Ray L.

    My family came here on a weekday for lunch for a graduation party. There was only one other party there besides us. Service: 3/5 We made reservations for our group of 14 and when we got there, the tables were not set up. I understand that they were still in a soft opening phase, but their service was incredibly slow. I know we had a large party, but took about 40 minutes to get all the food out. Some members of the party finished their whole meal before others got their food. I also wanted to share that they might be understaffed and we feel bad for the waitress. She was the only person in the front and she was taking order, refilling broth, bringing out our foods, and answering the phone. If they had a full restaurant, I don't know how they could have managed this with just one server. Food: 3/5 The food was decent. My point of reference is Boiling Point, and I think BP is better. Their hotpot was flavorful and the dipping sauce for the meat was good. Their steak however was almost inedible (see photo). The steak was 60% chewy fat. We had two people in our party order the steak, one was decent, the other was terrible so they need to be more consistent with their cuts. They ended up comping the fatty steak so we're grateful for that. My advice would be to not order a steak at the hotpot specializing restaurant. Lastly, I just wanted to mention that this place had a Yelp check-in for a free drink. The check-in was active on Yelp and did not have an expiration or anything. After we all checked in, the waitress said they were not honoring the check-in. Please take it off your page if it is no longer valid.

    Thai Hot Pot
    Connie T.

    I was craving for hot pot for a week and finally got my craving fix today. My husband ordered the Thai Hot Pot and I ordered House Special Hot Pot. Both hot pot came with a boba drink. I ordered the lychee lemonade and my husband ordered the mango lemonade. Lychee lemonade was mediocre but the mango lemonade was good. Great service but we were the only customers at the restaurant. Probably because of the construction that's happening. I enjoyed my House Special Hot Pot a lot more than my husband's. My house special came with ramen, beef balls, fish cake, Napa cabbage, slice beef. Soup base had some lemongrass flavored. Ambiance is typical like Boiling point. It is spacious at this restaurant.

    Tonkatsu ramen
    Annette T.

    For a place that has ramen, pho, steak, and hot pot, you wouldn't think it would be good. But everything my family ordered was decent! I got the Tonkatsu ramen and my partner had the Miso ramen. Though not as authentic as it would be at a Japanese ramen shop, it was decent and a lot of food! It also included a soy sauce egg which was a little too salty but I could see other people loving that. You can get your ramen mild, hot, extra spicy, or not spicy. I was surprised that mild was enough to tickle my throat. With every entree, everyone also got a free drink! Not sure how long they're doing that for so go get yours soon.

    Ribeye Steak
    Alexander Z.

    I love me some red flame. However, I go there not for their hot pot, but their steak. I'm no steak snob, I just like tasty food. The steak is pretty good, and their sauces are great too. It's a hearty amount of food for $20 with two sides and the sizzling from the steak they bring on a hot rock makes me happy. The restaurant is nice and clean, a modern place to eat at. The service is good, and the food will usually take around 20 minutes to come out, an expected amount of time.

    Beef Hot Pot
    LINA M.

    They have a variety of different items here which is nice when everyone all wants different things. The service was quick and friendly. We went during lunch hours so we got free drinks. I got the spiciest level specialty hot pot. I thought it was just okay. It didn't come with as much proteins, veggies, or fillers like. The broth was also just okay. I liked that their chili oil and garlic sauce is what it is. There is another sauce which I thought was soybean like other places but it had a smell and kick to it almost like they added horseradish in it. I didn't really like it. My husband got the prime rib that came out on a hot skillet that kept it cooking and warm the entire time. He said it was really good. My son got ramen and I don't think he liked it too much lol but I didn't try it so I don't know.

    Milk Tea
    Roben B.

    Jack of all trades, master of none. The value for what you get impressed me because while it's most likely not the best you'll ever have, the food does taste good. The house special ramen with a spice level of 2 packed a decent heat that wasn't overwhelming. The hotpot has some good complexity. The boba, unfortunately tasted watery from the jump, but it was free so can't complain too much. I've never been here while the place was packed, but the customer service has always been very good. Friendly servers that check on us at regular intervals.

    What type of stock is used for the hot pots?

    Hi, if we have a pork allergy, can we order a hot pot that usually includes pork without?

    You can request them to exclude pork. However, you may want to check if the broth has pork stock in it.

    Do you allow dine-in?

    Hi Jenna, Yes, we are currently offering dine-in.

    Do they take dine in right now or to go?

    Just to-go and you have to wait outside for your order

    So is there sit down dining? It says so on the listing

    Nah, they gotta change that

    Hi, what time do you open for dine in? Do I need to reserve or just walk in? How long do I need to…

    They are open 11AM-11PM everyday. You can walk in or join waitlist on Yelp. We waited about 20 minutes on a Sunday around 7PM for a party of 2

    Are they still open during covid? tried calling on a few different days and they never picked up

    they just reopened! 11 am- 11 pm. I ordered it today

    Is there a vegan option?

    There are no vegan option . They have a Vegetarian hotpot . However , maybe you can ask your server to limit your options . Like e.g ( no beef , seafood ) . Hope this helps . :)

    Yes they do

    Can they do gluten free? (Safe for Celiacs?)

The Hiyashi Chuka had a great balance of flavors with fresh toppings, and the soba was light, chewy, and paired really well with the crispy tempura.

The gyoza was disappointing since it was reheated and still tasted cold in the middle. Both ramen were filled to the brim with rich, flavorful broth. The white miso broth was slightly less thick and rich than the red miso. The noodles were chewy, and the Tao spice had a nice kick. Unfortunately, there was no AC running so we got pretty hot and uncomfortable during our meal. They also charged us for an extra drink that we didn't order. Sadly, this spot did not live up to expectations and will not return.

You get a regular-sized bowl of ramen, plus your choice of either a beef rice bowl or chashu rice bowl, and a side salad. For just an additional $6 on top of the ramen you were already going to order, you get the rice bowl and salad -- which honestly makes the whole meal feel complete. We always order the Butaton ramen, and it never steers us wrong. It's consistently satisfying and comforting. Between the two rice bowl options, I definitely prefer the chashu over the beef. The chashu just has more flavor and pairs better with the ramen in my opinion. If you're deciding between the two, I'd go chashu every time. I also love how the meal flows: - The side salad adds that fresh start to the meal. -The rice bowl gives you something hearty and savory. * And then you finish strong with the ramen. We came around 1 PM on a Wednesday and were actually the only customers there. Honestly? It felt like VIP service. Our server was super friendly, accommodating, and very attentive. One thing I personally use to gauge service: if my water glass hits about 30% full, I expect it to be refilled before it's empty. And even though we were the only ones there, he was consistently on top of it. That kind of attention to detail really stands out to me. We also ordered green tea to round out the meal, and everything just felt easy and enjoyable. Overall, I keep coming back for a reason. Great value, comforting food, and attentive service. If you're going for the lunch combo, definitely choose the chashu rice bowl over the beef.
