    I found a hair on my bowl, when I brought it up to the cashier's attention in a polite manner she made a face and walked to the cook's attention. The cashier was not wearing a head cap, and was bothered. I hear here making a comment about why i brought up the plate if I was almost done?. No apologies were ever made, she fixed a smaller plate and continued to clean. Terrible customer service as they continued to bad mouth us.

    casual weekday dinner search...looking for something quick and easy...finding waba grill across the street from the hyatt and marriott hotels...strip mall location and low-key...no line to the order counter...taking the waba plate (chicken & steak) $14.49 and a drink $2.99...choice of sauces and taking the waba sauce...similar to teriyaki sauce...about 10 minutes and called...small side salad was fresh and decent...potstickers were average and could have been cooked better...the chicken over rice was decent...the "steak" did not look appetizing...thin and dark strips of beef...looked almost like jerky and cooked to death...don't get the steak....other than the steak, the meal was average, but not really worth the price...

    I was really disappointed as this was my first time trying out Waba Grill and had high hopes! The customer service was great, and she was really friendly. We went out to lunch yesterday 7/17/2023 around 12:30pm ish, not sure but its timed on the receipt I added below.... I could not believe my eyes when I saw the $16.00 plate of just White Rice and Steak??? You can clearly see from the picture that it barely had any meat on there. I know I should of gotten veggies, but I decided to opt out and just try the meat and rice! I was super disappointed at the price and the quantity of the food! The quality of the food was okay, nothing out of this world.. The inside was nice and had a homeless guy sitting in there with all his stuff, so it was kinda weird eating and just him staring at us asking for cigarettes' Over all, I don't think we will be visiting again!

    This took 25min+ to heat up...

    Terrible service from Patty and Ricardo. Receipt says Jesus, which is incorrect. Ordered a (only ONE!!) mini bowl and waited over 25min. Ridiculous, didn't even offer an apology, they were to busy making a big order for a hand written receipt. (Read below) Patty was helping me, and when someone from a deliver service came, she ignored me and I stood there while she took their order on a post it sticky note, (seems like they are giving away free food) That doesn't even sound right, it's a delivery driver! Business owner should be cautious. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I can't remember the last time I left a review, but I felt strongly about this terrible service 10/30/23 at 6:07pm.

    Not worth $10

    Service was okay just had to order my food. Pricey for a bowl of rice. Not enough chicken for $10.

    "digital service fee" how ridiculous, never coming back

    Its disgusting that they charge you to use the app. Congrats, now you lost my business. Read their response, they don't get it.

    The steak and chicken combo bowl. Pathetic. This is what I get upon opening the lid.

The interior is minimalistic, but the music playlist hit the vibe right with that Akon song. We ordered the Duck Bao, Boss Bao, Cow Bao, and lastly the Bolsa Bao. It's basically like an Asian taco but the bun is made with rice, so it's very fluffy and soft. The Bolsa Bao which has the roasted pork is very crispy and a bit fatty, but still bomb. My favorite was the Duck bao and the sauce it came with had some much flavor. It was smoky and savory. All the veggies tasted fresh, nothing smelly. I recommend the Duck bao for sure guys, god damn! The rice plates looks pretty good too, I gotta come back and try them next time for sure. Like they always say @Baos Hog, EAT LIKE A BOSS!

I've tried several items here, and everything has been consistently good. The variety of bao options alone keeps me coming back, and it's a solid spot whether you're dining in or grabbing food to go.

Okay, I need to talk about Sona Fusion because we had the BEST time here and I don't want you to miss it. First things first -- this place is only 10 minutes from Disneyland, which already makes it a win. And if you're a cast member, show your ID because they give you 10% off. How cool is that?! Here's everything we ordered: Starters & Salads * Calamari * Golden Pear Salad Entrées * Lomo Saltado Shaken Fries * Filet Mignon and Mushroom * Signature Vietnamese Pho * Popcorn Chicken with Truffle Fries Drinks * Thai Tea * Mango Lychee Tea * Strawberry Mango Tea We tried half the menu and loved every single bite. Can we also talk about the men? The variety is there and small and not overwhelming. There's something for everyone without giving you decision fatigue. My picky eater? He demolished the popcorn chicken and truffle fries. The pho -- the meat was so tender it was literally falling off the bone. The pear salad was the perfect light balance to all the richness. Chef's kiss. Let me talk about the space because this is a big deal for families. Our baby was sleeping and we really needed to keep her in the stroller -- and it was no problem at all. The inside is super spacious and they even have a back room, so we were able to park her stroller right next to our table without disrupting anyone. It was so easy to make it work for us as a family and that is not something I take for granted. This is exactly why families need to try Sona Fusion. Look, there are probably a lot of options near Disneyland but let's be honest -- it's usually fast food. This was such a perfect find because not only is the food delicious, but there's genuinely something for everyone. On these trips I'm always on the hunt for good Asian food and I'm so glad we ended up here without having to drive too far from the hotel. We left with our bellies full, Asian food craving completely satisfied, and honestly so ready to enjoy the rest of the week of park food. AND they're open until 1:30 AM, so whether you're heading here before the park or after, Sona Fusion has you covered. So many possibilities and honestly? I'm so excited for you to try it.

The finger foods was Asian‑inspired, with flavors like black sesame, curry, and other creative twists that made each bite feel unique. Every piece was thoughtfully made, rich, and decadent without feeling repetitive, and the presentation was beautiful across the board. It definitely felt like a more elevated, modern take on afternoon tea. The tea itself, however, fell a bit short for me. I ordered a non‑caffeinated chrysanthemum tea, which unfortunately didn't have much depth or flavor. My friend's Darjeeling was better, but still not as rich or complex as I've had elsewhere. Given how strong the Asian inspiration is in the food, it would've been nice to see more thoughtful decaf tea options in that same direction, like decaf sencha, barley tea, or kuromamecha, to better match the concept. Price: The afternoon tea service is prix fixe at around $45 per person, which includes a curated set of savory bites, desserts, and a pot of tea. For the quality and creativity of the food, the price feels pretty reasonable compared to other OC tea services, though the tea itself didn't quite meet the same level as the food. Ambiance: The space is bright, warm, and inviting, with a nice amount of natural sunlight coming in that makes it feel cozy rather than stuffy. There are subtle Asian design elements woven into the décor, giving it a modern, slightly upscale feel without being overly formal. It's a great spot to catch up with friends and linger over tea. Service: Service was good, friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. Even during a busy service, staff remained kind and approachable, which added to the overall relaxed vibe. Parking: Parking can take a bit of effort. Since it's located on a busy street in Orange, you may need to circle around the roundabout or park a little farther away and walk over. Not impossible, but definitely something to plan for, especially on weekends.
