Fire Bowl is a very Americanized version of Asian fast foods. Their menu contains pretty much any variation of common Chinese, Japanese and Thai foods but in a very simplified form for pretty low prices. It's one of the few quick dinner options in Ogden that is open until 11 during the week and is not a big chain. They are located right off market street in a tiny shopping center next to Camille's and Lisa's Nails.
I've gotten take out here a couple times, trying the steamed veggies and rice, orange chicken, and Thai curry plate. All meals I've had were around $4-6 and plenty of food for the price. The quality is pretty good for what you pay for. The level of richness in flavor is pretty low but if you ask for chili or soy sauce that'll suffice, as long as you're not expecting the Ritz Carlton of Asian Cuisine. Every time I've gotten food here I've taken at least a meal or two back home with me in left overs, and it actually ends up tasting better reheated than it did fresh from their counter.
The beverage options are very limited here and they do not have a free water jug. There are only a few tables inside and the environment isn't really date night material so I'd probably recommend getting to go and watching a movie while enjoying at home. Make sure to check your order bag for fortune cookies, if that's up your alley, because they are supposed to gibe them to you but every time I have to ask because they're so busy they forget. And what's an Asian take out meal without a fortune cookie? All in all decent place that's open late and good bang for your buck given the low prices and large portions. -

I never treat myself to ordering delivery so I was so excited... I called Fire Bowl at 5:21 and ordered:
2 large VEGETABLE lo mein (enough for both kids and husband) I said it more than once on the phone.
cream cheese wontons (for me) 3 veggie spring rolls (for me)
orange chicken (for my husband)
I told the girl on the phone I was vegetarian and asked when I was inquiring about the spring rolls... that they were infact vegetarian and she assured me that yes they were.
Fast forward to 6:20 when I was delivered HOUSE SPECIAL lo mein instead of VEGETABLE lo mein which after looking at the menu it's not even listed on what is in the house special. But there were shrimp, chicken and pork in the lo mein according to my husband when he looked at it.
6:23 I called and told them that they accidentally brought me house lo mein. I've worked in a restaurant and understand things happen and mistakes are made... no big deal. Instead of apologizing and saying can we bring you out vegetable lo mein no problem.... the owner and the girl who works the phones YELLED at me and told me that is what I ordered. Rest assured I DEFINITELY would have NEVER ordered HOUSE lo mein with 3 different meats in it!
I had to feed my kids my food because they were starving and go to bed at 7. So there went my spring rolls and cream cheese wontons. So here I am at 7:15... still haven't had anything to eat. I couldn't believe they YELLED at me and told me basically that I was a liar. They even asked for the food back... I could give the meat lo mein to my husband since he is the only meat eater.
They could have said, since you gave your food to your kids let us also bring that to you so you can actually eat what you ordered for yourself.
So disappointed in how they talked to me and how unprofessional they were. -

I've purchased take out here 3 times now and three times I've been disappointed. Why does a place call itself a Chinese restaurant when the only vegatables they use are Peas Carrots and Broccoli? The egg too young is very good but I'm not going back again.

Firebowl is exactly what you'd expect from a quick Chinese take out place. The food is traditional take out and tastes good. We've had about 75% of the menu and haven't ever had a complaint around food quality or taste. This has been the primary place we've gone for 3+ years.
