About Us :
Flame Broiler is a family-owned restaurant brand that serves healthy, Korean-inspired bowls that taste really darn good. Our founder, Young Lee, opened the first restaurant in 1995 with a deep passion for people and a belief in the power of food.
We believe food has a profound impact on the health of people and their communities, but the majority of quick, affordable options are unhealthy. That’s why Young Lee set out with the mission to simplify every neighborhood’s access to good food, and we are still going strong today.
