It is a nice place for a quick bite of Chinese. I went there this week and asked the Mgr if he would find out who had left their dog in a pickup truck in 98 degree heat. The dog had been barking a some other patrons that were leaving said they were concerned. The Manager told me that he had no intention of doing anything as it was "...their dog and their truck," and he walked away and left me standing there. Don't go there, they don't train their Managers well.

The best way to go at Firebowl is to choose your OWN veggies and whatnot for the stirfry. Because if not? They're very, VERY skimpy. And don't get the sesame chicken unless you like your Asian food...
