    Tofu Veggie Rice bowl! Be sure to ask for extra teriyaki sauce.
    Yvonne H.

    It has been some time since I've had the chance to stop by since we moved out of state. Tonight, on my way to work, I stopped in. It has changed a bit inside. The employee who helped me was pleasant. I didn't realize the menu changed a bit. Prices, of course I expected. I ordered the Tofu Veggie Rice bowl and added avocado. Small drink.Yum! The wait wasn't bad ,pretty fast. I was shocked that small drinks are kids' size and I had to ask for extra teriyaki sauce. It used to be fill a small cup, like you do ketchup in some places. Now it's packaged. My bag only had one, so I'm glad I asked for two more. I do like my food saucy. When I got to work, it looks tasty. The portion is smaller than I remember, so next time, I'm ordering extra veggies and a tad more rice. I don't mind extra charges. I didn't put hot sauce because I'm still having heartburn issues. Overall, tasty! I'll be back for sure.

    Steak, chicken and veggie bowl
    Vanessa H.

    I am newly obsessed with this place!! I discovered it on DoorDash the other day. I ordered the steak, chicken and veggie bowl with Waba Sauce and green onions. It is delicious! Everything is cooked perfectly and has great flavor. The sauce is a little sweet but not overbearing. I have ordered this several times this week and it's been consistent every time. Food always arrives warm!

    Chicken bowl with avocado
    Cassandra P.

    I was craving Waba grill because I don't have one close to my house so I stopped by on a Friday. I walked in and ordered a Chicken Bowl with Avocado (Avocado is like $1.90 more) and the flavor was good and the chicken was freshly cooked! It appeared there were only two employees working, one was a lady cooking in the back and a younger guy at register. There wasn't tons of people barging in the door, but they seemed busy (maybe online orders or prepping for the Dinner rush). When the guy wasn't at the register he was helping prep food in the back, but I felt like they needed 1 more employee to help on the dining room. So many of the tables had food on them and dust- they needed to be wiped down. The floor needed to be swept and the utensil station was out of forks. Food was good! I just felt like the condition of the restaurant needed more attention.

    The food is definitely better than panda in taste and freshness but tiny portion!

    If you're looking for a small portion and you want to pay too much for it and this is the place to taste leaves you wanting more got the steak and vegetable the steak was tender the vegetables were minuscule tiny way too little for an extra charge of a dollar thus Two pieces of broccoli and three slices of carrot for a dollar more and without the up charge there is no vegetables in it wow!

    $13 for 6 shrimp. That's a rip off
    Matthew V.

    Value is not found here. I paid $13 for a bowl with 6 shrimp in it. I don't plan on coming back anytime soon.

    I was hesitant to order because of the bad reviews but I went ahead to try them. I ordered thru Doordash- steak bowl, Wabimbap & dumplings. They were actually good. The portions were also good enough for the price. The meat and rice portion were perfect which contradicts the bad reviews on Yelp. I did have a missing order- the avocado side. But other than that, I enjoyed the food and I would order from them again.

    I didn't know about WaBa Grill until about a month ago and today I ordered for the 10th time and it didn't disappoint ! Their food is delicious and our whole family is in love with their WaBa sauce! (Both the spicy and non spicy) I'm extremely pleased with the quality of their food! Another great thing; they're convenient! I love being able to order ahead (online) and pick it up when I'm in the area and when I'm not, I like to order it online to have it delivered. I created an account online and they give you special offers that have saved me money. What I love about WaBa compared to Yogis Grill, is that WaBa grill doesn't overload you with rice. When I used to get Yogis I would have such little protein and far too much rice. WaBa has a great balance.

    Great quick stop. Is it gourmet? No. But so much better than typical fast food if you're in a hurry. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

    I'm leaving this review because some of the one‑star ratings for East Asian simply aren't justified…read morebased on the comments people wrote. A true one‑star experience is foreign objects in the food, cold meals, or no service at all -- and that's not what I experienced. I ordered takeout, and when I got home the food was still hot. I had the shrimp egg foo young and BBQ pork fried rice. The egg foo young was excellent, and the portion size of the fried rice -- along with the amount of BBQ pork -- was generous. This is easily a solid four‑star experience, maybe higher depending on what you order. I've lived on the west side for years, and I still haven't found a better Chinese takeout spot in the area. One last note: I'm a veteran, and they gave me a military discount, which I appreciated.

I couldn't tell you the timeframe of when the current ownership took it over from the previous owner when I first started frequenting Eest. The change was immediately felt. The level of customer care and taste of food changed. Not for the worst, but different. My last visit this month for an order of shrimp fried rice was my final straw and I will find somewhere else to find some food. It has been a very slow spiral downward with the quality of food. I am talking years where the consistency was slipping. Then last month it was as if they forgot what they were doing. What was served to me was edible, but nowhere near what I have been given in the past. I hope it was a bad day for the kitchen for the establishment's sake! Call in takeout orders have been a speed bump. You call in and you're quoted a time of when your order will be ready. You pay for your order when you get there. Then the clock starts. It totally defeats the purpose of the original quoted timeframe.

But that was only until their front counter host, Mariano, hooked me up. I told him my dilemma and he was super helpful, upbeat, knowledgeable, and kind. He listened to what Ibsaid and suggested the most amazing bowl I've ever had. And it was ALL his recommendations. I had the teriyaki bowl but added green dragon sauce, spicy teriyaki sauce, green onion, a scrambled egg, chili flakes, and avocado. HOLY Flavor Explosion, Batman! Wow. It was out of this world. I would never have ordered it like this. It was thanks to Mariano. I worked in restaurants for many years, and Employees like him are more valuable than gold. I can't imagine they're paying him well, yet he was enthusiastic and genuine and truly had passion for the food and helping his customers. Mariano single-handedly converted me from not wanting to eat at Tokyo Joe's, to a huge fan of the food- all in a single visit. This guy should be made GM at the very least. Yeah it's a chain, but it's run like a mom-and- pop establishment. It's "healthy" food in that there are no French fries or greasy meals. It's rice-based and is essentially proteins and a TON of mix-ins and sauces. It's well done. All in all, excellent dish, even better customer service. This is how an eatery should operate. Kudos.

Amazing service as always (there was a bit of a glitch on my account, but they worked together to solve it and all was A-Okay.) I ordered the Thai Noodle Bowl.

You could probably request that they hold off on the red pepper flakes, or.use a smaller amount. Tasty sauce, veggies, noodles, and 3 kinds of protein. Very filling. I opted for a water cup today, though I normally always enjoy their iced teas. I so appreciate the high level of service I always receive at Tokyo Joe's locations. This one and the Surprise AZ location are my go-to's. Clean restaurant as always, with employees cleaning tables and surfaces. Groovy music tracks were playing in the background.
