The Flame Broiler

Never again… Chicken taste recooked, beef has a weird texture, the register last was handling the money and serving the food, and it wasn’t good period. Waba Grill is a million times better and cleaner !! My first and last time coming.

Really good fast food. The brown rice was perfectly cooked. Chicken was moist with good flavor. Vegtables were cooked but still have some fresh crunch to them. I was very impressed.

Has quality gone down for this place? Food was warm, not hot. Looks like they need to clean the grill better. Found multiple black burnt little pieces from the grill in my food. There’s more still in the bowl. Not trying to get cancer early — so please clean your grill!

I decided to give this place a try, since I was waiting for my husband to see his doctor down the way. The place looked clean and not to busy. I walked in and ordered a medium bowl with half chicken, half beef, and veggies. The total with a drink was around ten dollars. Once they called my order, I took my food to the table. My medium size bowl was filled half way with little food. This is my first time eating here, so I’m not sure if that’s normal portion size. I thought to my self that’s a little pricey for such little food. I ended up having to leave before I tried it. Once I got home I tried it. Even though it was cold it still tasted good. I just don’t know if I’ll be giving this place a second chance.

I’m a fan of Flame Broiler but I wouldn’t say it’s the best beef bowl but it’s good enough. This place is located in the Von’s Plaza with other business so there is lots of parking. The place is bigger than the Gardena ones. I just got a mini beef bowl good size to curb the lunch appetite. Service was pretty quick. Another plus it’s right next door to Baskin Robbins if you want dessert after lol. No I’m not getting it after lol.

Pretty empty on a Thursday night. But it was about 45 minutes until close. The cashier was extremely friendly. You don’t really get that at other locations. My usual is the half chicken half beef on top of veggies with onions drenched in that magic and hot sauce…
Lawwwwwwwwd

The usual safe food. Pretty consistent with quality and a clean location. They have great customer service and are very friendly even at the end of the night. They had a problem with an order right in front of me and handled it quickly, kindly, and correctly.
4 starts for meeting all requirements and would come back. Couple points for the pleasant customer service, but not enough for 5 stars.
Fyi, no public bathroom. And it’s in the same plaza as vons

So I decided to have a healthy dinner tonight. And wanted to go with Flame Broiler. I haven’t been there in a while so my expectations were actually pretty high. Being that I have just frequent waba grill and disappointed in there change of how they serve the sauce now pre packaged. So that persuaded me along to go with Flame Broiler being that I am indulging in the sauce it is my favorite!
Upon walking in it smells like a hospital of cheap bleach but I could tell the establishment was clean from my views. The cashier greeted my friend and I and took our order I ordered chicken and beef with veggie bowl with white rice. And my friend ordered a chicken veggie bowl with white rice. We were able to pack our own sauces as much as we wanted! (did I mention I love the sauce.) When we got home I notice how the bowl was a little light for it to be supposably pack with two different meats rice and veggies. Don’t get me wrong Flame Broiler was great tonight and so was the cashier but proportion wise they were definitely falling short of their competition which is waba grill. I will be back but proportion wise you guys skimped out tonight

This place is great if you’re looking for something healthy and fast. Its good, but nothing spectacular. I always get the veggie and steak bowl with rice. Costs $ 6.50, which is cheap for lunch!
Side note– This location is clean, but doesn’t have their AC working. Yes, its Winter but still gets hot in there.

The food is pretty tasty and reasonably priced. The items on the menu are pretty healthy and their grilled chicken is more flavorful than Waba Grill. The only thing that lacks on the menu is avocado. The orders are prepared pretty quickly and ideal for someone on the go.

I love Flame Broiler but this one is always the worst… Ive eaten here a few times and and workers are always talking to each other instead of the customers. Portions are skimpy and last time the chicken was like rubber.
Other FBs seem to have more quality control than this one for some reason, not sure if they are franchised or what. Also on the day I went the outside was really dirty, entry doors were filthy, windows had new grafitti on them and there were a bunch of tacky Xeroxed signs all over the inside of the place like Dont to this Dont to that…
The forks are also the CHEAPEST ones on the planet… Bottom line the place just doesnt have it together. Will try other ones like the one on Long Beach Blvd in LB, always great and consistent…

I frequent several Flame Boilers however this is my first time at this location and last. I have no time for ignorant nonsense. I placed a simple phone order; chicken plate and asked that the salad be placed in a separate container. Worker asked why I wanted a separate container for my salad. Instead of hanging up in her face I explained that I heat my food up for lunch and would prefer not to microwave my salad. She said ok but when I get there she starts to lecture me about how technically they are not suppose to separate the saad from the plate itself because then the salad becomes a separate side order. Huh? Are you kidding me??? So what do you want me to pay extra for the cost of the small 3oz container you had to put my salad in? I mean come on, damn plate combo is 8.61 you’re going to lecture me and give me a sad story about how you’re breaking company policy by separating my salad so that I don’t microwave it this evening when I eat lunch? No worries, I will not be back. Other locations have happily obliged me WITHOUT me explaining why I was making the request.

Yep. I’m a fan. This place is so much better and healthier than Yoshinoya. I usually get a chicken and veggie bowl and it’s always really great tasting and fresh. I LOVE that it’s not doused in sauce. There is sauce on the side and you can help yourself to ample amounts of it if you want, but I like that the chicken is mostly clean. A lot healthier. And the chicken is REALLY good. The brown rice is tasty too! And I don’t even like rice. Love their hot sauce. So yummy.
This location is very clean and it’s never been packed when I’ve gone. Loads of parking since it’s located in a small shopping center. Good prices.
Yep. I’m a fan.

I honestly don’t know what was up with this place. When I walked in past 8pm, the line was to the door. They were just standing there staring at us and the cashier was on her cell phone. I thought for a second they ran out of food. I still don’t know what happened… I do know they didn’t have anymore sauce and the portions are no where good enough for the cost. I won’t be eating here anymore with the amount of other options in the area.

I always get their chicken and veggie bowl, love it. The staff is always friendly and quick with placing the order. They always have the Magic sauce stocked and keep the place clean. During a crazy day at work this place is close with quick yummy service. Thanks Flame Broiler :)

Ordered the chicken veggie bowl with brown rice.
Pretty good lunch, decent sizing, Love the brown rice option.
Prompt service.
Place was really clean.

Their chicken bowl tastes good, and is healthy. You’ll gain a great amount of protain with it. Chicken is well cooked and has no skin and low fat. I recommend this for those who are workout enthusiasts and those who are trying to look sharp!
People who work there are so nice, and I think this restaurant is a very good spot.

This is a new flame broiler in this area. I will have to say that it is one of the better ones I’ve been to quite some time. The food is prepared fresh, quick and tasty.
The smart money is to make sure that you get there before the lunch crowd as there are several major businesses in the area. Best time to get there around 11 o’clock.
I ordered a chicken plate with white rice and a side of all white chicken. Cannot believe how much food they put on that plate. I really didn’t need to order the side of all-​white chicken. However that chicken went well with my lunch for the next day.
I notice that the staff was friendly and it was extremely clean. I see that there was a lot of attention paid to the detail in regards to keeping the windows and the inside of the restaurant tidy and that is really a big plus. All the table counters were clean and free of any type of food or debris.
Keep flaming flame broiler.

Plenty of parking, good prices and portions. I get the mini bowl half and half with brown rice.

Flame Broiler replaced the Yoshinoya Beef Bowl that was at this location. They did not have to do many renovations as the two have the same décor and similar menus. They may even have the same vendor supplying the bowls for their meals — they sure look similar in appearance and volume.
Flame broiler is supposed to be semi healthy with skinless chicken in their offerings. Note to the lady drowning it in magic sauce — it’s no longer healthy. Bowls are simply meat over rice. Plates come with meat, rice, salad and a wedge of orange.
Self serve soda fountain, so you can have refills to quench your thirst.
Parking is plentiful here. They share the lot with a market and other small strip mall type businesses.
