Used to go here all the time, the past 4 or 5 times I’ve gone the meat has come out so dry and chewy. I don’t even finish the bowl anymore. Real shame, friends and I loved this place.
The front counter girl was not very friendly. Did not even greet me. She slid my order to me and kept acting as if I was not there. As if! 😂 Asked her some very simple questions and she did want to be bothered while doing absolutely nothing, She might of filed her nails while looking at me. I felt unwelcomed. I thought it seemed like a healthy place and had a good price for 10.15 for a regular chicken bowl. I picked half rice and veggies. You can chose just cabbage, broccoli, or carrot. The mixed veggies are big pieces of cabbage. A couple little pieces of probably carrot and I think I saw broccoli. The cabbage are huge pieces . The meat was so dry, chewy, and rubbery. Tasted like it's overcooked pieces that had black char. It's either been sitting around a long time or was just rewarmed. I was very disappointed with this chicken. Rather go to Panda Inn in for a bowl. This place advertised how healthy they are and how their chicken has no hormones.etc. Don't think I will be back. Unless I'm craving dried up hard pieces of old tasting chicken. Also I decided to not put the magic sauce on bc it's really thick and syrupy looking. This was gross. Go to Apollo Loco for real Chicken that will not kill your teeth Stop the bots! This place is gross. I got sick. Cheap protein 🤮
I'd like to write the food highly but they messed up my whole order so thoroughly that I can't. When I got home I realized that 75% of my bowl was rice which I asked for none of. 20 percent was cabbage and 5% was meat. I ordered half spicy Korean chicken and half beef bulgogi. I received regular chicken and beef bulgogi. I called to ask for a refund and they let me know that the owner would call me. I will update this review once they contact me with the resolution
Flame broiler is a simple spot for a to go meal of terriyaki chicken, tofu or beef on top of rice or a combo plate which includes steamed vegetables (cabbage, corrots, broccoli) amd cabbage salad. It was tasty and under ten bucks.
I love Flame Broiler! Unfortunately, this is the location closest to my home. This location is the sketchiest one I've ever seen. The walls are this disgusting lime green color that looks old and grimy. There are a few tables inside, but they're always dirty. So I always order to-go. Except this time... my parents and I were dining here before heading to an event near the Embarcadero so we ate inside (it was cold outside). There was one table for 4 in the whole place and a solo person was sitting there eating. So we huddled around a table for 2 until that lady left. Luckily, I had some wipes with me and I wiped down the table. The woman at the counter got our order wrong. Like really wrong. The three of us each ordered a regular bowl and somehow she rang up two bowls and one plate. We each asked for no onions (something they always ask) and two of our dishes ended up with onions. They had to remake mine because I can't eat onions. I looked at the receipt and she had rung it up wrong. And they somehow added avocado to my dad's dish, but my dad doesn't even like avocado. When I told the woman about it, she acted like we got gifted something for free with the avocado that my dad wouldn't eat. She was like "well, I didn't charge you for it." Uh no, but you also charged us for a plate when I asked for a bowl. Such poor service. I understand that things happen, but she didn't make a whole lot of effort to apologize for her mistakes or for overcharging us. I didn't press the issue because it was only a few bucks difference, but still. I'll still go back to this location (for takeout only!), but I will be scrutinizing what is entered into the register very carefully!
I ordered the half-n-half plate with rice and veggies with the cabbage salad. The chicken had that hint of grilled meat taste but the beef was just average to me, nothing too flavorful. The veggies was actually good but I didn't really like the cabbage. A solid 3 star for your run-of-the-mill mall food.
It's a nice flame broiler. The woman working the counter was pretty rude though (or tired). She had 3 orders up getting cold (mine was one of them) but instead she just kept taking new orders. I got it to go, so by the time I got home it was barely luke-warm. Also, the Magic Sauce tasted weird here. By far my worst Flame Boiler experience (never had a problem with any other one's. Hey Corporate, please work on making your food taste consistent amongst franchises)
