    Update: order wrong again. I ordered and paid for avocado, none placed. Ordered chopsticks, fork was given.

    Barely any meat all rice.

    Haven't been here in a while thought I'd give it another try but I think I'm gunna stick with the hole in wall place this is bullshit. There's hardly any meat it's like $10 for a bowl of rice.

    I've been to a LOT of flame broilers all over the place. Their product is great but each location is really hit or miss. Sometimes the meat doesn't seem flame grilled. Sometimes they gyp you on the portions. Sometimes they don't have a type of sauce. Sometimes the employees are just miserable. Sometimes its awesome and everything is on point. THIS particular one was ON POINT. And rightfully so since this one is apparently attached to their headquarters. This one is setting the example on what a flame broiler SHOULD be. I ordered my usual. Regular chicken bowl with brown rice and veggies. Simple. Workers were friendly with a smile. Place was clean and nicely stocked. And most importantly, the food was exactly what it should be! Flame grilled and charred chicken. Good portion size. Crunchy veggies. If I lived closer to this area, I'd make this my go to flame broiler, but sadly I live far away and my local flame broiler is hit or miss. Anyways, if I have another appointment in this area, I'm coming back. This is how it's done. Hopefully they're consistent, but from my experience and the reviews, it seems like they are.

    Hidden new location in a business center. I had no idea this was even here until I drove by and saw it out of the corner of my eye. They are not open on the weekends and I forgot to take down their weekday hours. Super fast service, clean brand new restaurant, and not crowded during lunch time. I love the amount of indoor and outdoor seating available (they have a patio on the back). Easiest to access off Warner & Brookhollow.

    Interior. Where you order and pay.

    Tucked away in a very industrial & business area of Santa Ana, this Flame Broiler may be hard to find for someone unfamiliar to these parts. However, if you keep on making your way down Brookhollow Dr. You'll be sure to find it. Complaints by other Yelpers have been made about parking especially during peak hours (ie lunch), but I feel like that's inescapable. This location is SURROUNDED by businesses! In fact, if you look around there's multiple businesses that share the same parking lot that Flame Broiler is nestled in so that's beyond the establishment's control. This was my first time at any Flame Broiler and while I can't make any complaints for food/service, I personally don't feel like that Flame Broiler is anything too special. While the food was made fresh, fast, and was provided to me in a timely manner with good customer service I was not wow'd by meal. I ordered the Angus Beef Mini Bowl with brown rice. I really like that they don't charge you extra if you opt for brown rice like other establishments might, so that's a plus! At the end of the line they also ask you if you want your bowl with or without green onions! When The concept of Flame Broiler is pretty simple, as is their menu options. They have a few bowls you can choose from and you can decide if you want to add some veggies with your protein (chicken/beef or a combination of the two). I think that it should be noted that you can only get a mini bowl if you're not trying to get the orders that have veggies in them! They don't have many sides or much else, but the way you do order is you go around and it's kind of a chipotle kind of line (with less options and toppings). They have plenty of seating inside and outside of the establishment and it's very clean too! Definite pluses! Though Flame Broiler's not my cup-of-tea and I don't think it's amazing, I can see myself coming back here for convenience to feed my grumbly tummy during my lunch hour since this is only a few mins away (walking-distance) from my office.

Luckily I got sat in their few middle tables that were spacious. I was able to order quickly and the workers are nice and gave me recommendations. Passion fruit green tea and this was definitely my favorite thing I ordered that day the drink was so light, refreshing, flavorful, but not too sweet the passion fruit seeds being in the drink was annoying though. (4/5) Spicy XLB they came out quick but I wished they were hotter they were just warm but delicious flavor and filling sadly was not spicy though no kick no heat at all. (3/5) Beef rolls nice and crispy lots of scallions and the cucumbers added a nice fresh aspect and crunch but needed more sauce. (3/5) Pan fried dumplings took the longest to come out were crispy but not that flavorful again very filling though. (2/5) Golden prime beef noodle soup I'm sorry but this was just not for my taste at all I can't even describe what flavor the soup was something I have never had before very unique. The noodles were nice and chewy but again I'm expecting soup to be hot but it just came out warm. (1/5) They had some sauce and chili oil on the table and I made a mix but it did not help add flavor to any of the items. I ordered too much and the leftover beef rolls and pan fried dumplings reheated well in the air fryer.

Luckily we were seated within 15 min. I love the vibes here. It's a bit loud, but you can still have a conversation. They have a large indoor area and a nice bar. Everything is kept clean. Service: Thank you Mia for taking care of us! She's very attentive, and throughput was surprisingly quick & efficient despite how busy it was. She also checked on us multiple times and refilled our waters. Food & drinks: We absolutely enjoyed everything! Safe to say the hype is real. 1) Curry Crab Omelette - This is my favorite dish. This was presented on a small skillet with rice in a separate bowl. The omelette was drenched in curry. The curry was seasoned well, semi thick consistency, with a hint of spice. 2) Vietnamese Shaken Beef (one w/ garlic noodles & one w/ rice) - I personally prefer the shaken beef at Vox. For whatever reason, the beef seemed to be overcooked bc it was very chewy. The vegetables tasted as expected, and the red rice was really delicious. The garlic noodles were good. 3) Lemongrass Tofu - The tofu was cooked well and seasoned deliciously. 4) 5-Spice Roasted Chicken - Exactly what the description says. The roasted chicken was huge. We weren't sure exactly what it was seasoned with, but we all devoured it. Yum! 5) Lychee Milk Punch - It's not dinner without alcohol. I thought it was pretty strong with the rum & whiskey. It's more on the sweeter end from the lychee & pineapple. The foam wasn't too thick, and it paired well with the drink. Pricing: These are elevated prices. We'll definitely be back for dinner, and we can't wait to try their brunch. Highly recommend joining the Kei Rewards!

Spicy Beef Udon served in a boiling hot pot, this udon is spicy, hot and sizzling. the standard level of spice is free but to make it spicier there is an additional fee. the flavors of this udon were delicious and i liked the greens that came in it. there wasn't much beef inside and due to the sizzling pot my noodles got really soft faster than i could eat them. it also comes with a cheesy rice ball on the side that you're supposed to mix into your soup once you've finished the noodles. i personally didn't love it. i felt like it didn't really match the flavor of the soup and the outer crust of the ball was way too hard and crunchy for my liking, but my boyfriend thought it tasted good together so to each their own. Cold Spicy Egg and Tororo Tsukemen if you're a fan of the cold, dip ramen (tsukemen), then this dish is for you! the cold noodles are served perfectly chewy and al dente and it pairs well with the egg and tororo dip. the boy added a side of meat for an additional charge because it isn't served with any on its own!

We came with reservations on Saturday night before Mother's Day. The first thing I thought when I walked in was that there was a live band playing with bad speakers because the music was so loud. But when I saw there was no band, I thought maybe their speakers were broken because the music had that scratchiness to it. Then I realized it was a DJ spinning vinyls with foreign music from the 1950's with that scratchy vintage sound on full blast (think shrill trumpets and shrill voices.) Now don't get me wrong, the music was wonderful and very unique ( again, a lot of foreign songs) with a few I even knew...my husband and I loved most of the songs that were played. HOWEVER not when it's so loud that we can't even hear our own thoughts! I felt annoyed within the first 5 minutes of being seated when my family and I had to keep repeating ourselves, and my husband even went to check the rest of the place to see if it was any quieter anywhere else, but it was blaring music everywhere. I ended up ordering for my whole table of 8 people because we couldn't even hear each other over the music to make suggestions on what to order. My adult kids (all in their 20's) kept apologizing for recommending this place for my mother's day dinner. But oh my, the food was delicious---practically everything I ordered was amazing! OMG the hangar steak skewers, pork belly skewers, iberico pork secreto steak, little gem salad, and their bread with goatmilk -butter were my faves! We also had the short ribs and the pork fried rice with prawns but they were mid...nothing to write home about. This would've been a great place to come have a drink at the bar for happy hour or even late at night on a weekend since they open until 1am on thursday, friday, saturday... but don't come for dinner unless you bring earplugs and learn sign language or know how to read lips because there will be no conversations over dinner unless it's just to the person sitting next to you. Even so, I noticed the young couple next to us looking very annoyed-- they got up and left after quickly finishing up their one cocktail while the speakers blared out an instrumental piece of a girl moaning the whole time until she climaxed. Heck---I'll have whatever SHE'S having lol So plz keep the music down several notches until after 10pm, and let the rest of us enjoy our dinner so that we can sing praises on how delicious everything was. Until you do, I think I'll cross this place off my list for now and revisit again sometime in the FAR future.

He gave great advice on how much food to order for a group of 18 people.

We made a reservation for a Saturday night and were so excited and it really did not disappoint from start to finish. We got the puff bread with cultured butter with honey and furikake. OMG. I just... how can something so simply taste so delicious? Definitely a must try. We paired it with the salmon crudo and caprese with burrata. The salmon crudo was good, not blown away, but the caprese. Mmm! It came in a ponzu sauce and was this beautiful blend between Italian and Japanese flavors. So good. For our mains, my husband got the Seafood mafaldine and I opted for the Mala lamb pizza. This was such a unique pizza flavor, the hot honey sauce it came with tasted like a spicy, sweet curry and the pizza itself was delicious. Crispy crust, a little bit of cilantro for freshness. So good. To top it all off, we got the Blueberry pavlova and hazelnut cake. Both of these were incredibly indulgent and absolutely worth it. I think we were full for a whole day off this meal. To wash it down, I had the Highball with Suntory whiskey and a Calamansi Sidecar. I loved the assortment of Japanese whisky here, the cocktail menu was more tastefully curated than just trendy. On top of an excellent meal that I will be salivating over for a while, our server Danny was great! Super attentive, friendly, helpful and just a delight. Highly recommend!

If you love this place as much as I do, let's rally around the people who work there and let them know they will be there when they reopen. Tustin is remodeling the plaza where this historic restaurant now is located. This beautiful location is moving to a new location seven miles away. The food here is amazing. There are so many unique dishes you can not find anywhere else. For example, last night I had lychee with ice. Fresh, ripe lychees, mixed with juice and ice. Simple, fresh, and amazing. I miss the place already. Go before it is gone.

We came pretty late but could still order their lunch specials which are a great price. We had such a hard time figuring out what to order because everything sounded so yummy! Loved the Malaysian curry chicken that came with rice and a side salad. We also ordered the mamak mee goreng from the regular menu, which was a huge portion of egg noodles, chicken, shrimp, egg, tomato, and a lot of other stuff all swimming in a savory sauce. So good! I think the dishes were a touch more oily than I expected, but I still very much enjoyed and I'll definitely be back here to try more authentic Malaysian food. I saw the satay dishes, nasi lemak, and Hainan chicken looked really good, I'm coming back for you guys
