About

Flame Broiler in Chula Vista's Otay Ranch corridor serves Korean-inspired charbroiled rice bowls from a concept that South Korean immigrant Young Lee founded in Fullerton, California, in 1995. The bowl-centric menu — built on non-GMO rice, certified Angus beef, and antibiotic-free chicken — runs in the same health-forward lane as the supplement programs at Ultimate Sport Nutrition Shop in the Eastlake retail corridor. All proteins grill on a 550-degree direct-flame broiler with zero frying, no dairy, no trans fat, and no MSG — a preparation standard the Lee family established across what is now a 130-plus-unit national chain. The Otay Lakes Road location serves a customizable bowl format starting at 370 calories, with a choice of white or brown rice, blanched cabbage and broccoli, and two proprietary sauces: the Simply Magic teriyaki and a cayenne-pepper hot sauce. That low-calorie, high-protein format draws the same fitness demographic that fills Crunch Fitness - Eastlake on Birch Road for post-workout refueling. The steak bulgogi bowl layers marinated, charbroiled Angus beef over non-GMO steamed rice with blanched vegetables, topping out the protein tier alongside a Korean Spicy Chicken build finished with a gochujang-style glaze.
