This is like Waba- just much better! The chicken is perfectly cooked, the veggies a little soft but the overall flavor is great. The dumplings are Really tasty. A bit greasy but well worth it. I had them cook mine extra crispy. They give you several sauces to dip the dumplings in and they are all strong in taste I love the small grab-and-go bags of pickled spicy carrots and jalapeño s they offer on the side, by the drinks. Such a great side for those of us who love it spicy I ordered a Thai tea boba and it was well blended. The boba balls was a bit mushy and soft but the overall taste was great. I'd like to come back and try the shrimp sometime. I feel like this place is worth trying..friendly crew and nice ambiance read more

First of all, the woman who helped me barely spoke English, which I can overlook because I'm not expecting a linguistics professor to take my order. Whatever. I got the $16 lunch combo with a teriyaki bowl. $16 for a bowl of teriyaki chicken isn't exactly a bargain, but whatever -- I figured I'd at least get a meal out of it. Nope. I got home and VERY carefully lifted the bowl out of the bag with both hands. The bowl immediately slipped out of my hands and dumped its contents all over my freshly cleaned carpet. And why did it slip? Because apparently whoever packed my food decided that putting the lid on the container was optional. The food was already extremely oily, and the lid was basically sitting on top of the bowl instead of actually being snapped shut. I genuinely thought, "There's no way they would seriously hand someone food like this without securing the lid." So I snapped it back on myself just to make sure I wasn't somehow imagining it. Sure enough, once properly secured, the lid was so tight that I could barely get it back off. So congratulations -- you managed to lose a customer before I even took a single bite. I immediately went back to the restaurant, explained what happened, and asked for a refund. I didn't even bother trying the food because after watching an entire meal spill onto my carpet due to something as basic as not closing a takeout container, I had absolutely zero confidence in anything coming out of that kitchen. Mind you, I did not even get a simple apology AT ALL. Instead they acted like THEY were bothered, but they didn't have to spend 30 minutes cleaning up an oily teryaki mess. For a restaurant having its GRAND OPENING, you would think there would be at least a bare-minimum level of attention to detail. Apparently snapping a lid onto a container was too ambitious. The food looked questionable, the packaging was a complete failure, and the entire experience was so ridiculous that I literally drove straight to Panda Express afterward and bought another meal. Save yourself the time, money, and the inevitable carpet cleaning bill. Go somewhere else. If this is what they're putting out during their grand opening -- when you would expect them to be trying their absolute hardest to impress people -- I can't imagine how bad this place is going to be once they stop pretending to care. Absolute joke of a restaurant. 0/10 experience. I didn't even get the opportunity to eat the food, and somehow that was the best part. read more

A great local spot for all things teriyaki chicken, smoothies and Boba. Today's visit on 3/26/26 was an easy choice for us to get some fresh food on a warm Thursday evening. We ordered the Chicken Teriyaki plate for the wife and a Steak and Chicken plate for myself. The food was prepared fresh and fast, the staff were friendly and the restaurant was very clean. The food was delicious and had great portions. Parking is easy, please come try some for yourself. Pi read more

Very basic chicken teriyaki type place. Nothing really stands out. For the price they don't really give much protein... I got the 2 item combo for $18 and there was much at all. I rather go to Yamas down the street. Their meet is charred over a grill and tastes great. The beef here tasted off. The chicken was good, but standard. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful experience. I ordered the chicken bowl with veggies and my husband ordered the chicken and steak bowl with veggies along with my Boba and treat. Overall the service was wonderful since I originally ordered the Thai tea, which did not taste good and I spoke to the manager and he offered me the other tea I was hoping to try, which was the mango green tea with Boba and that was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this location. As far as the ambience it looks like they are still working on the interior from being Waba Grill to the new ownership. I look forward to seeing how this business will grow. As for my photos, I would have taken a photo of our bowls, but we devoured them so quickly that all that was left was our drinks. read more

Food here is amazing and super fresh and the service is great. They're also really quick with making the food. AND they gave me extra dumplings. read more

Definitely better food than the old franchise teriyaki place. The food is so much better and I loved the sauce; not overly sweet. I had steak and it was cooked perfectly. I will try the salmon next time. The young man at the counter was extremely nice, very good service. read more

Dragon Grill in HB hits the mark every time. The quality of the food stands out--tender, well-seasoned meats, fresh crisp veggies, and generous portions that leave you full without feeling heavy. You can tell they pay attention to the grill work because everything comes out hot, flavorful, and freshly made. Great spot to grab a clean, delicious bite that consistently tastes great. read more

Place rules. It replaced Waba and it's basically a Waba dupe but a little better. Please go, they need support! read more

Great service, had the chicken plate, taste great, teriyaki sauce was good too! Would come back again

They tell you just like (formerly ) Waba Grill but it's not even close. Ordered the steak bowl and can tell the first thing the new owner did, aside from raising prices and charging $1.45 for veggies, is substitute cheap and crappy meat for the tender steak meat Waba used. He must be in back grinding up old car tires because that's what it tasted and chewed like. I threw away more than half my steak bowl, which was 95% white rice anyway, because the meat was so bad. Kid at the counter was super nice and worried I would want my $12 back but it wasn't worth it. The owner of this new Dragon Restaurant is cutting corners in the worst way. Do not waste your time. read more

Dragon Grill & Boba Tea - A bowl of cheap, tasteless and rubbery steak meat that cost me $12! Worst decision I ever made thinking they were anything like Waba. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Great food !!! Great people !!!!! Even fresh sliced avocado !!! Love this place. !! This place is a gem !!!

Very good chicken salad. Service was very good. Bathrooms were clean. Would return.

The food is very good and high quality. Also, the employees are very kind! :) I highly recommend eating here, it's way better than Waba grill. I usually get the steak plate with white rice and it is a LOT of food. The steak is very fresh and the rice tastes great. I'm not sure why there are so many bad reviews, but you should give this new place a chance. :) read more

I didn't realize this place had changed names, but it appears to have the same employees as before, so I expected the food to be the same. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I ordered the chicken bowl with white rice, and the teriyaki sauce was extremely disappointing--it was thin, watery, and lacked any real flavor. It didn't resemble a typical teriyaki sauce at all. Based on this experience, I won't be returning. read more

This new place is not good. Decided to stop in here because we were in the plaza and ordered 1 chicken bowl with white meat, 1 chicken and steak bowl with white meat chicken, both white rice, wife added avocado and 2 sodas it was nearly $40. Then the food itself was super disappointing. The steak had some large chewy pieces and some tiny pieces. The sauce had literally zero flavor. They give you extra sauce on the side but I think it was just soy sauce? Tasted like it anyway. Place was clean and the people were nice but we won't be returning here based off the food quality & price. read more

Got the steak bowl. There was so much gristle in the meat that I had to spit out most of it. I ended up throwing it away. I will never go back read more

First of all the service is always excellent. The food is great and on the healthy side. I like my chicken and steak with vegetables and brown rice with teriyaki sauce poured on it. And the prices are very reasonable. read more

In the mood for a waba grill bowl and found out it's now Dragon Grill. Looks the same inside and even still had a Waba poster hanging on the wall. Ordered a steak bowl with veggies took a few bites at home and threw it away. The steak quality and texture were disgusting. Eat at your own risk but it was really gross. read more

It was great food! I ordered the chicken bowl and it was delicious. Service was great, and although it's still new and not much is still up, I'm hopeful. The house sauce was good. Would definitely return. read more

The shrimp wasn't cooked all the way through some parts were still grey and translucent.
