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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

It was a hearty bang for your buck meal! I wasn't WOW'd by the food, service or ambiance, but it was a nice open space to catch up with friends, so I'd come back to try the rest of their menu! I came on a Wednesday night so it was pretty empty, but our servers allowed us to use our Yelp Check-In for the free teas and they were a nice palette cleanser. read more

Red Flame surprised us with no wait time, a clean environment, and speedy service - they've got efficiency down. We went for the house combo in the hot pots, and it was good but not exactly great. Maybe I'm a bit spoiled by some truly amazing hot pot places I've been to before. It's a decent choice, but there are others that still hold a special place in my taste buds. read more

Went with a party of 6 for a birthday dinner and the wait time was short. We ordered 2 Sirloin steak on a hot plate, a Seafood hot pot, 1 Premium rib eye steak with mashed potatoes and rice, Thai hot pot, and a Beef hot pot. Each steak plate comes with a side of salad. Our order was taken quickly however the Premium rib eye was not noted and we were missing a dish at the table. After reordering the Premium rib eye with mashed potatoes and rice, we were given a plate of Ribeye with all broccoli. We told the waiter we didn't order broccoli and it turned out to be the order for the table next to us! He picked up the plate and dropped it off at their table after waiting for our missing order, and our server took back the salad that he had placed on the table for that order and directly transferred it to the next table. I was uncomfortable because although we didn't touch the food, we had breathed around it and the server didn't seem to have any issue just handing it over to the unsuspecting neighboring table. Despite this, the sirloin steak was exceptionally tough, as if not cut against the grain. I would highly recommend the Premium Ribeye because it's fattier and was a lot softer and bigger to eat. $20 for frozen fries, mashed potatoes that had no texture and tasted powdery, and a steak the size of a small hand was rather disappointing. The hot pots were more worth it and had unlimited soup refills which is appreciated and necessary to dilute since the more the soup boiled off, the saltier everything became. Paper water cups...got soggy by the end of the night. The interior looks nice and had plenty of TVs but all were turned off. Overall, I question whether I'd come back here in the face of Boiling point. $114 total read more

We come here often but this time, the experience was really bad. We waited close to an hour and other people who came after us got their food before us. We asked about our food multiple times but our waiter ignored some parts of it and then said it's coming. I asked, why is food taking so long and he replied as you can see... yeah it's busy but others were getting their food. It would have made things so much better if you guys were nice about it. read more

Overall: It was a good hot pot place in the Westminster area. Around there are other good Vietnamese places which I am happy and excited about :) I WILL say that their soup flavoring has more umami and flavor than other hot pot places I have been to. I went on a Saturday afternoon. HUGE parking lot. Its a HUGE space and usually very packed. But we were the only ones at that time. I'm sad they were out of enoki mushrooms. read more

The foods were delicious and the service was very nice. It was our first time to be here but we sure enjoyed the dining experience. I would give 4 and a half star. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that we came here after looking at their website and realized the prices are much higher than what the site shows as of 3/5/2023. I do understand everything is more expensive compared to the days before pandemic but they need to update the prices on the website. read more

Was in town and chose this place for takeout dinner! So glad I did! Prices were affordable, 9's, 11's, etc and they had a decent variety of food, varying from appetizers, hotpot, ramen, and pan fried noodle dishes. They had dine-in where people sat adjacent to each other in big booths, but the middle tables were blocked off. The service was okay, I could see that they were stressed though. Food was ready in 15 minutes and there choices of teas/boba were awesome and cheap! Only $2.50 for flavors like matcha, taro, jasmine, sea salt flavored etcs. I would definitely stop by again if I were in town! read more

Unfortunately, Red Flame missed the mark for me when I came for dinner but it is by no means a bad place to get hot pot. I just prefer Boiling Point, which may be about $1 more expensive but has better hot pot, in my opinion. Location/Interior: Parking isn't an issue here since it shares a plaza with numerous other businesses. When we arrived for a late night dinner, there was no wait. Only a few other tables were there. When it gets busy, you can use the Yelp Waitlist feature. The inside is nice and spacious. It would be a good place for groups because of the ample seating and space. (Boiling Point in GG on the other hand is not ideal for large groups). Food/Service: The menu does offer a large variety of things, not just hot pot. They also serve ramen, steak, and garlic noodles. The three sauces on the table were good. I liked the spicy peanut sauce the most. * Seafood Hotpot ($14.95): immediately I didn't think the presentation was the best for this hot pot but as a whole, it was just okay. The two shrimp were large but the rest of the seafood was lacking, especially because only one small clam is included with each seafood hotpot. I do appreciate that sliced pork was also included, but the hot pot seemed lacking in general because I don't think there was enough vermicelli (even with my extra vermicelli on the side). I noticed that enoki mushrooms were forgotten in my hot pot, so I reminded our server. What was also forgotten was clams. We were then told that they ran out of enoki mushrooms so they offered shiitake mushrooms instead, which was fine and I didn't mind. They also brought out one small singular clam, to which I had to clarify whether the seafood hot pot really only comes with one small clam. To me it's a little strange only one tiny clam is included in the hot pot. * Beef Hotpot ($14.95): I had a taste of my boyfriend's hot pot, which was very spicy since he chose the red flame (spiciest level). This beef hot pot looked comparable to Boiling Point's. Service was friendly and was attentive to our needs. Overall: While I wasn't too impressed with my seafood hot pot, I had a decent dinner and definitely felt full afterwards. I'll probably stick to Boiling Point, but the interior of Red Flame seems better suited for groups. read more

I had the steaks before and they were really good. Got the miso hot pot this time and it was good. Nothing too special about it. Good ambiance with mostly families and workers are nice read more
Came here for the second time last weekend because my lady friend thought it might be good based off the reviews. I recall having been here before a number of years ago for their hot pot but couldn't remember why I never really returned. Anyway, I ordered the Japanese Miso Hot Pot and my lady friend ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. Immediately upon trying the first sip of the broth, I remembered why I couldn't recall any memories of the food or the experience. Everything here is just OKAY and not at all memorable. The quality of ingredients in the hot pot are fairly poor (most definitely frozen) and the taste of the meats and broth reflect that. I only tried a sip of the Tonkotsu Ramen but it was enough. Flavor was lacking there as well. Unfortunately, the strawberry lemonade was the highlight of the meal. Won't be returning here again. Not sure how this place has accumulated over 3000 reviews in 4-5 star reviews but I don't taste it. If you're craving hot pot, go to Boiling Point. If you're craving ramen, go to Kin Craft Ramen right down the street. Just go anywhere else. read more

I came by here once before but decided to give it another try. I ordered the beef hot pot with mild spice and it was okay. I thought the meat was overcooked or the texture was a bit rough. They offer peanut sauce, chili sauce, and some type of soy sauce. The sauces tasted different and it wasn't what I expected since I've had tried other sauces from hot pot places. The flavor wasn't really there for the beef hot pot and I would rather go to boiling point instead. I would probably try something else on the menu from this spot the next time I come back. read more
It was my first time here on a weekend around 3pm so it wasn't crowded. I was craving hot pot and decided to give this spot a try since I'd seen it on yelp for a bit now. Food: we ordered the thai and curry hot pots and both were pretty good. We got the thai as the spiciest and the curry as one level lower than the spiciest. The thai didn't have much of a tom yum type of flavor that I was expecting it to be (not sour) and didn't have much flavor besides spiciness but the curry tasted like curry and was really good! The serving sizes were pretty good and I had the leftovers for a couple meals after too (added more ingredients and had rice with it at home) Customer Service: the servers were really nice and provided everything we needed. Overall, I'd recommend the place! However, I do kind of wish they give you some sort of free dessert/drink like boiling point does at the end to leave you with a refreshing feeling after hot pot. read more

Our 1st time at Red Flame. The parking area is under construction so it was easy to miss the place and parking was not easy. The staff were attentive and helpful. The atmosphere was a bit cold due to the openness. We had the Tom Yum soup base with the beef. The beef quality was not high but for the price, it was ok. Overall, not a bad deal with prices notes days. read more
Not worth the lines at times. The flood is mediocre at best. The steaks are only a good deal if you don't mind cheap steak. The side salad is not much of a salad. If you're looking for a good hot pot, you should skip this spot. Broth is bland and no flavor at all. The only thing is that the spice level will hit you hard. I ordered the Japanese Miso and it looked sad. All I tasted was spice. Probably won't come back. read more

I got a takeout for 2 ribeye steaks WELL DONE. After 30 min driving back and forth, I came home with soggy, bloody raw steaks with tons of fat, impossible to cut through with a knife. I called back and they said I had to come all the way back and bring the food so they can recook the steaks again. Wow. read more

Coming with the coolkids here. It's been a while since we had the full 5 coming together.. we picked this place because one of us wants something different. Hot pot it is because they want it hot pot today. I know.. hot pot in this hot weather. They're out of their mind.. Nam is our server today. He got us the lychee lemonade and really take good care of us!! Everyone is loving the lemonade!! They're all happy campers. Ordering: 1. Ribeye Steak 2. Garlic noodles with fillet mignon 3. Golden fishballs 4. Beef hotpot Hope They're liking it as much as I do since I'm the one in charge taking this group here. read more

Service is excellent. Friendly and informative. I got the spicy miso with mild flavoring. I don't know why everyone was so negative about it. The flavor isn't strong but it is tasty. Its affordable and tasty ! I would come here again and again, even on the hot days bc that's the best days lol. I used to love them at their og garden grove location. And it tastes as good as I remember it to be :) read more

Boy, where to start with this review. I can't believe this spot opened up next to another popular location I go to and I never realized it was there until today! I came back from Vietnam and I had wanted to treat out my family since it's been a while. I decided to check out places that sold steak. Ironically, instead of the usual American places known for their meats. This Japanese spot came up on the search and colored me intrigued! I decided to tell my uncle and we came here! From the look of the pictures, the portions had looked rather small. I. Was. So. Wrong. The portions were big! We ordered two hot pots which was more than enough to feed 5 people along with two top sirloin and some noodles dishes too. Luckily our table had 6 very hungry people, despite feeding everyone til they were stuffed, we still had leftovers! On top of that everything was so good! This place is one of those places that you'll talk until the food comes and everyone just quiets down to focus on eating! THATS how good it is! Better yet, the bill averaged out to only about $15 a person, which was nice cuz I ended up giving extra tip for their fantastic service! read more

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 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 . :)
