Tip: Order a bowl instead of a plate to avoid the subpar salad and fruit. Customize your bowl with your preferred sauce, as the meat can be dry without it.

Opinions de The Flame Broiler La Jolla
It's SO good. Everything is fresh, ready in a couple minutes, order is always correct, served w a smile,everythings incredibly tasty simple delicious. I tried it a few weeks ago now I'm there 4x/wk 😆
It was great! Such a small store, but great friendly staff, and delicious healthy food!
One of my favorite places to eat. I've eaten here many times in the last few years. The food is delicious! The staff is nice and courteous. The service is fast. It's great all around.
Simple, fast, healthy and tasty. Good when you are hungry but don’t want to get heavy stomach. And it’s not expensive. Also it’s not spicy so kids eat it too. I like it.
This is a wonderful chain. I think you should try it. I think it's special and I've noticed a lot of people congregate around there. It's very good and I look forward to trying more. It's an exciting small chain, growing. I think there are two locations. I recommend.
Coming from the midwest, I had never ate here... I was very impressed. Food had great flavor and the sauces were amazing!
I love flame broiler. Healthiest "fast food" you can get. Love the chicken plate
Looking for a quick bite to eat then check out the Flame Broiler. They make quick and simple meat or veggie bowls. You have got to try their sauce as well.
Super basic menu options, but you can be as healthy or as full as you want to be based on your size and carb options.
A great alternative to the usual fast food you may find. It takes only a minute or two after ordering to receive your food. I recommend white meat when ordering chicken!
No offense to the other reviewers but you don't know what your talking about, I eat here 2-3 times a week the food is quick prepared well and the staff is great if there was something wrong here why would 100s of people come here daily.
This is so far the first one I found that serve just the amount I need! Not too much food and not too little, the portion is just right and the food are nutritious. Love it!!
Great food, fair prices, easy to take on a picnic in the park or day at the beach. The Magic Sauce is incredible
It was pretty good; the regular bowls had a lot of food. Rice and green onions are based. The chicken is a bit dry. I like the sauce, which you need to add separately.
I got the combination of chicken and beef for my rice bowl. Very fast service, reasonably cheap prices, and good quality. I got the smallest size and it was still super filling.
The teryaki chicken bowl with veggies and rice was perfect! No place to eat indoors, but there are a few tables outside. Or get a to go order.

Kind people work here and amazing food 👊🏽
I know it’s a chan, but everybody who works here is so nice. They work so hard and the food is consistently good ! special shout out to the dude working in the front tonight. What a nice guy.
Opting for the organic tofu and veggies bowl, I enjoyed a very good, quick, and healthy meal. The tofu was expertly prepared, offering a flavorful and satisfying experience. The combination of soy and hot sauce added delightful flavors to the dish. From the ordering process to picking up the meal, the overall experience was great. I'm definitely looking forward to returning!
I got the organic tofu and veggies bowl and it was very good. It was a nice quick, healthy meal. The tofu was made really well and flavorful. I also loved the flavors from the soy and hot sauce combination. Overall I had a great experience from ordering to picking up. I'll definitely be back!
I hand an awesome mini Chicken bowl. It isn't mini at all. It was 3 healthy meals for me. It was not greasy and had wonderful charbroiled flavor. I got mine with brown rice and veggies. The vegetables were cooked to perfection for my needs. There sauce was good too! I will definitely eat here again! Absolutely yummy!
I always love it. No seating inside but they do have sufficient outdoor seating. They only do a couple of things but they do them very well with healthy ingredients. Plus, they'll customize it to your liking. The smell coming out of the store is so compelling.
The Works bowl was amazing, especially for the price! Best semi-fast food ever! It was prepared to order and came out piping hot. I did a mixture of the special sauce and sriracha/hot sauce. Delicious!

I like the healthy food they provide, they provide a plate full of nutrition of salad, steamed veggies, protein, rice and a fruit. The order and waiting lines are fast. I only wish If they could provide variety of veggies because the salad was only cabbage and most of the steamed veggies was cabbage and that’s kind of boring and doesn’t encourage to order again.
As described, tasty, fast, fresh and inexpensive. Great place for a healthy quick lunch. Try the chicken with brown rice and vegetables, (or just straight vegetables). They're great and healthy!
Seating is outside only. Food is flavorful, although meat is not the highest quality. Great place for a relatively inexpensive lunch when the weather cooperates.
Flame Broiler is a Hot, Healthy Grilled Food Bowl which includes Rice or Brown Rice, Steamed Vegetables, Chicken, Angus Beef, or Tofu that's Delicious with an Excellent Price! I was introduced to Flame Broiler last Spring and we eat here often!
Always a good and healthy meal here. I leave feeling full and satisfied. I love that they have sweet tea too.
My favorite "fast food" place in this specific mall. Typically get the rice bowl with veggies and grilled beef. Very flavorful and low priced.
Average food, but great price for what you get. Regular customer, service is usually pretty fast, too
Love that the food was quick. But didn't like that the server didn't call out the number. Overall it was pretty good.
Decent fast "clean" food. I ordered the Plate with beef. Flavors on the beer and rice were good but the "salad" was not a salad as it was just shredded cabbage & shredded carrots. And the "fruit" was laughable as it was simply an old dry half of what i think was an orange. I would try again, but I wouldn't waste my money on the "Plate" next time as it's a joke.
Pedro was awesome! We got our food very quick! The meat and vegetables was good but the salad and orange tasted funky. If I go back it would only be a bowl and try to put some teriyaki sauce on it or something. They have a nice outdoor area to eat
A nice spot to grab a super quick bite of fast-food but the prices are a little high for the relatively small portions. The ingredients are relatively high quality but the flavor was lacking without dousing it with the sauce which they provide on the side. Also I ordered the full plate and the proportions were a little off for me. Wish they offered more salad or a different side and fruit on the side somewhere else. However it's close to campus and they take Triton cash while the outdoor seating is plentiful and parking is usually not too difficult to find.

Vegetarian food option available and even for someone that is gluten free. Got the tofu plate with rice and vegetables. It was ok and I liked the smoky taste of the tofu. There was not much taste for any of the other foods- and the hot sauce didn’t add much.
For the record, my bowl of choice is: "half 'n half (half chicken, half steak) with white rice and vegetables" It's fast food. It's affordable. It's filling. It's somewhat healthy. But is it any good? Depends. I appreciate the intense char-grilled flavor imparted into the meat here in small amounts. My first 9-10 bites are great, and then it starts to wear out its welcome and I need to smother everything in their branded "magic sauce" (essentially a teriyaki sauce variant) which adds back all the calories I was trying to avoid. Still, you definitely could do worse than this place.

Had an angus beef veg bowl. Meat was full of gristle, which is inedible part of meat. Most bites couldn't eat. Would not eat this again. Poor quality
Received wrong order but was too far and late afterwards for me to muster the will to return to ask for the right order to be given to me. Quite frankly was disappointed. If in the future this continues to happen I’ll drop down to a 1 star rating. On the other hand if this doesn’t happen again then I may increase this rating.
Flame broiler’s prices have gone up since I’ve last been here. I got the tofu regular bowl with a side of kimichi and after tax plus tip it was $17.44! It’s no longer a cheap eats place. See my photo with the updated pricing! The quality of the food is just fine/a solid meal you could rely on but it’s not worth that price so 2 stars.

Got the steak bulgogi bowl. Wasn’t impressed with the quality of meat or flavor. Expensive for a bowl this size ($14), and tasted like a regular rice bowl you could get from any fast food or cafeteria for probably a lot cheaper.
We had a beef bowl with white sticky rice, green onions, and a few bits of carrot, broccoli and cabbage. While the beef was tasty, it had no sauce on it so the dish was very dry. There were two sauces that could be added, but they were not especially tasty. Would not go back.

Inhospitable employee, the cashier today was rude. I ordered and immediate cancelled. Adding to my disatisfaction this place doesnt have a bathroom. When i asked about a local restroom the employee replied with contempt, " Rubio's". I came to this establishment because I've been to one before. I'll never come back to this one. Terrible choice in work staff.
I gave it a 1 star due to the fact that they nickle and dime the customer. They charge EXTRA for the flaver and 1400% mark up for the syrup for a fountain drink that comes out to about .20 per cup. They lost my business, maybe when I start making 6 figures I'll come back...
Ordered was canceled but I haven't got a refund. It's been more than 10 days.
Chicken is too dry and taste is too dull. Went here because of the 4.2 google review but seriously doubt it. Even wholefood food court is better than this.
The instructions say pick a base, pick a meat. One of the base options is salad. I order a need bowl with salad base. He says I can only get that with the plate ($3 more), okay fine, a plate with salad and beef. A fine combination, but I still need a "base" and apparently double salad beef plate requires a still add rice or veggies. For only having like 4 items on the menu, they sure have a lot of rules that keep me from paying $10 for 7 oz of meat with some lettuce.
Poor customer service. Spicy chicken bowl was over sauced. Person behind the counter admitted it happens, but refused to fix the plate to make up for the mistake. No greeting and no thank you but credit card screen when you pay expects a tip.
Awful customer service! Our chicken is way over done and basically petrified. You also need to specify that you want veggies if you want them even tho the are in the photograph of the dish you are ordering (false advertising) and you are nickel and dime for every ingredient added to your order. If you call to talk to the establishment about this you will be interrupted, yelled at and laughed at by Juan. Horrible customer service. $60 for dinner for 3 people? As a customer we should be treated better and with respect. We will no longer support this establishment. I would recommend that you do the same.
