Opinions de The Flame Broiler Lake Forest
Excellent, fast service during lunch rush from this location. The half and half plate I ordered tasted so good. Definitely will be coming back here again.

What can i say, it's a flame broiler. Chain restaurant. For what it is, I give it 5 stars. Very consistent quality and portions. Nice staff. Every once in a while I'll get the tiniest little bone piece or grizzle (not often), but it's happened. Not big enough, often enough, or big a deal to take a star off. It happens no more at this location than any other chicken and rice bowl places. Will definitely continue picking up food. We like their house sauce too. They have a serve yourself sauce bar. Yummy and always clean.
I eat here at least once a week because i love there basic menu and how good their food tastes, it fills me up and the employees know me well enough that they put my order in b4 i walk in. Lol.... Love that kind of service considering i was that type of food worker when i did that type of work for a good portion of my work life. Keep up the tasty food everyone!!!!!
Great food. Great atmosphere. We went in during soccer tournaments with a bunch of our boys and they were very welcoming.
So I recently started ordering from here again and I LOVE that when I ask for well done extra onions, that is exactly what I get. I suspect a change in ownership since the voice on the phone sounds different, but last few times they have given me what I ask for and its been great.
Thank you Jose for a great dining experience. My first time at FB and the service by Jose met all expectations. Jose was so polite and professional. The company is fortunate to have him. Truly a 5 star. Look forward to returning to FB at the El Toro location.
This place is so good, you can request extra or without, they're fast, & nice.. One bowl looks "normal size".. but it's packed with food! They also have serve your own hot sauces, etc.. with to-go containers:)

The food is delicious and healthy, but the service is slow, and the interior looks a little run-down.
Great food and friendly staff. The wait time was short, and overall I had a great experience. I just wish that the tables were cleaned a bit better. They weren't too busy where they couldn't have cleared them off a bit faster in my opinion.

I went in right when they opened and got the mini bowl with the Angus beef which was $12 alone. A bit pricey, but initially I was fine with it. Service was fast, but the food was cold. I was expecting it to be fresh and hot. The veggies were also pretty hard. I thought they were supposed to be cooked. $12 for a bowl of cold food wasn't really worth the price.
They have bowls and "platters" I was under the impression a platter would have more food but for $4 dollars more you only get a quarter of an orange and about 1 oz of cabbage. $14 later, I left hungry. The staff was polite and efficient. Place was extremely clean. Portions are poor.

I felt the service was problematic but better than the food. Beef was tough. Taste was bland and I had thought it was to be Korean inspired? I think it is made for a typical American pallete, fairly bland. Another Flame Broiler in AZ was better.
This Flame Broiler is very stingy with their meat. We've been to other flame broilers that gave us a good amount. If they're going to give us such a small quantity of meat, then they should lower their prices. After all rice and veggies are cheap ingredients. Sincerely Jeff

Worst food I had in a long time. Burned food, see pictures. They need to clean the cookware. How did they get 4 star? I would take my hard earned money and run the other direction, wherever you can.

Terrible food, terrible customer service. I had an encounter with Stingy Sauce Man...you can tell he hates working here. As for the food, the chicken was overcooked, dry, and tasteless (that's why you need the sauce). Do yourself a favor and just go to Chipotle if you want a bowl. This place is useless. Supposed to be Korean inspired but not one person there knows anything about Korean food.
The guy in the front is very rude. First and last time coming here. Rice was all melted and felt he did it on purpose because I asked him to cook my meet well done.
The main reason I'm giving them a one-star review is because both of their restrooms are out of service, which I don't believe it's true more than anything. Anything? It seems that they don't want to open the restrooms to the public and have to clean them. The food is up to par to what you expect from a flame. Broiler but the service can definitely use some improvement.
First and probably my last visit to this location. I love flame broiler but the customer service I recieved today was poor and no excuse considering the cost of everything going up I would expect the Customer Service level raised as well. This cashier or manager maybe needs to get an attitude adjustment. He was very short when I asked him what came included in a plate, he even rolled his eyes! I'm sorry but if I'm paying good money I shouldn't feel like I asked for something I shouldn't be asking. To the franchise owner of this establishment please review and maybe retrain your employees to smile and provide great customer service. Best wishes.
The cashier was rude when I was ordering and gave me the wrong dish completely not what I asked for I wanted a spicy chicken bowl but got some bland chicken bowl with some sort of teriyaki sauce. Also ordered a $3.50 side of kimchi that they didn’t give me. Just a waste of money in my opinion will not be going here again.
Ive been to this flame broiler 3 times in the last month and each time has been more and more disappointing. This last time will be my last. I will drive across town to another or go to waba. Basically all 3 visits involved the same employee. So hispanic lady on her cell phone while taking orders and making orders. First time more order was wrong, i said ok whatever ill deal with it. Second time, my wife and i stopped in to get a quick bowl after the gym. Order made completely wrong by the lady who took our order and made or order, doing both while on her cell phone. Then she has the nerve to give us attitude when we asked for the correct order. Today was the last straw for me. I ordered a vegi bowl with rice (trying to eat lite before run) im handed a bowl filled with chicken and veggies. I brought it to her attention, im given an attitude by her because im apparently interrupting her call or whatever. A few minutes later im handed a bowl filled with cold veggies, maybe half a spoon of rice, and filled with water, yes water. Absolutely unacceptable. I will not go to this flame broiler again, good luck to the management.
