    Waba plate
    Kelly W.

    I don't remember the last time I had waba grill.. must be years. We got some coupon in the mail so we decided to get some grub! The place is pretty empty when we arrived. We ordered 2 waba plates with drinks. A waba plate is chicken and steak. We had the option to choose between white or brown rice...to be healthy we got the brown rice lol. The chicken and beef were both tender and topped with waba sauce and plenty of rice on the bottom. They gave a lot of meat.. I was so full and had about half of the rice left! Def worth it.

    The store is located in the center with Costco. We were looking for a healthier option than Costco pizza and hotdogs so decided to stop in here. Clean and spacious. They have plenty of tabkes for dining in. We tried their bowls, one chicken and one shrimp. Vegetables were quite fresh and bowls were good. I did prefer the chicken over the shrimp. They give extra sauce and hot sauce in case you want more flavor. Staff was super nice

    Surprised to see lots of bad reviews for this location so thought I'd share my experiences. Location is fairly new, with a clean modern look. You can definitely comfortably eat here if you'd like. There is ample parking in the plaza but beware of the Starbucks drive thru which blocks up the access time to time. Food has always been consistently good with well cooked food, organized presentation and quality packaging. I've eaten at this location over 20 times and it's one of my sage go to rice and chicken meals in the area. The food is healthy and clean. A great option for a quick bite. I usually get the chicken veggie bowl or the waba bowl which includes both chicken and steak. Highly recommend getting the green onions and waba sauce to add to your meal. Service has been decent for fast food. Never had an issue and it's been easy to order. They also do a good job making the food fairly quickly.

    So came in yesterday and got me another meal all I had to come back to say is thank you Christian for compensating me for the dumplings they forgot on Sunday . Much appreciated nonetheless customer service here from all is always great .

    I've actually never eaten at a WaBa Grill before until last week. Since I get gas at this Costco all the time, I noticed that it was actually open. I came here with a friend from work and ordered a chicken and veggie bowl with brown rice. The veggies consisted of broccoli, carrots and steamed cabbage. Similar to Flame Broiler, they have some self-serve sauces which I got with some green onion. Whoever is chopping the green onion, chops them really thick by the way. (attention to detail...) My friend ordered the bowl that came with both beef and chicken, but her bowl only had chicken in it. She told me she was here before and they did the same thing. The last time, she didn't complain, but now that it happened a second time, she went to the register to inform them of the error. They let her keep her chicken bowl and gave her a side of the beef on the side. Overall, nothing fancy, but i do like that they have the option of brown rice. The parking lot here can be a bit tricky and I witnessed multiple close calls already during lunch time on a week day. That's a big negative being in the same plaza as a Costco.... I did enjoy my meal, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. So just an "A-OK". 20/100 Reviews 2017

    Clean place, but every time I come here they give you more rice and less chicken. I hate driving to the one on arrow highway but when I want to give this wabs a chance they always end up disappointing me..

    Came to Glendora Public Market on a Saturday night, and I wanted to try And Broth as I have heard…read moreabout their sandwiches and pho. They were also very nice to let me sample their bun bo hue broth, which was very good and not too spicy. My girlfriend really liked their broth as well and thought it was authentic for Vietnamese standards. However, I decided to opt for the Pho Brisket sandwich as I didn't feel like eating any heat for the night. The pho brisket sandwich was pretty big, and the meat was very tender. The pho broth was rich and it is southern style too. I loved dipping the sandwich into the broth. The greens and picked onions were fresh, and the fries were crispy and the right amount of salt. I really enjoyed my meal and definitely next time I would like to try the bun bo hue style sandwich.

Each bowl includes Cilantro, Red Onion, and Vermicelli Rice Noodles. The broth is simmered for 24 hours with beef and bone marrow. The serving is hot and fresh. A large bowl is filling and delicious! They also make sandwiches, wraps (beef, chicken or shrimp), Chicken Wings, Spring Rolls, and salads. They are open 7 days a week, located in the Glendora Public Marketplace. There is plenty of open seating indoors and a covered patio area too. Sincerely, Rosemary

(Important Note: Walk-ins are accepted, but reservations are preferred since it's a small location. There's also a "regular menu" and a "reservation menu." If customers want the more exciting menu options, customers must call 2 to 3 days ahead and reserve those dishes also. Concerning payment, this business only accepts Visa, Master Card, Cash, Zelle, and ApplePay.) My family and I arrived on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day (around 1PM). I'd made a reservation the day prior since I'd been searching for businesses that stayed open during Thanksgiving. Parking is very easy. The private lot is spacious with many spots. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Staff mostly spoke Mandarin; however, there was one staff member that could fluently speak English. Staff is very helpful and professional, and staff answered all our questions. We ordered seven dishes; all the dishes arrived within 38 minutes and 16 seconds. Good pace. The Salt & Pepper Fish Filet ($14) arrived in nine minutes. Then, six minutes later, the Beef Chow Fun ($13) and String Bean with Minced Chicken ($14) arrived. Then, 10 minutes later, the Combination Fried Rice ($17) and Salt & Pepper Shrimp ($17) arrived. Lastly, around 14 more minutes later, the Scallion Oil Chicken (Half - $17) and Almond Tea ($7) came. We happily devoured these delicious dishes. The Salt & Pepper Fish Filet had a thin, crisp crust with hot fish. It's gently seasoned. The Beef Chow Fun had springy, bouncy noodles. Its beef came very tender but a little lukewarm. The String Bean with Minced Chicken tasted clean and fresh; its chicken came tender and juicy. The Combination Fried Rice had plump shrimp, tender beef, and moist chicken. I especially loved how the rice felt hot & fluffy. It was well-seasoned. The Salt & Pepper Shrimp tasted crisp, plump, and well-salted; these shrimp were fried perfectly. The Scallion Oil Chicken tasted very tender and juicy. And the Almond Tea felt hot, velvety with the fresh aftertaste of almonds. Every meal felt clean and fresh. All in all, we appreciated how every dish lacked that overpowering/masking flavor. "TASTY!" Concerning ambiance, Sands Chinese Restaurant (Irwindale) is clean, sleek, and minimalistic. The tables and floors are very shiny. There's about seven tables inside. There's also a customer restroom in the back. The location is also well-ventilated as soft music plays in the background. Overall, my family and I had a lovely experience at Sands Chinese Restaurant (Irwindale). The food is fresh, filling, affordable, and delicious. If curious, I definitely recommend. 5 out of 5

I remembered this place from awhile back and as the first time, it was still so good. I do believe ownership may have changed as the name of the restaurant now reads "Sushi."

There was "egg flower", disks of fish cake, green onion, and shredded seaweed. By itself, this was plenty - but because "more is more" I also ordered the spicy tuna roll.

She remembered us the second time we came and asked if my daughter if she was doing better because the first time we were there she had morning sickness so she couldn't enjoy her food. I love finding hidden GEMS, especially Mexican restaurants, with real Mexican food!! What can I say ?! We love it ! Five times here. No regrets. Always good. Food is delicious! Service is AWESOME! Always so friendly, warm, & helpful since the first time we found them. . :D Can't believe it took me so long to find this hidden gem living nearby and around here all the time. How did I find it ?? Well, how do I, and we all, find all my / our favorite restaurants? I Yelped of course !!! :D I was in the area looking for a good place to eat. I yelped Mexican food and TA DA ! I would have never found it, since it's sort of hidden in an area less traveled, in the shopping center across from the West Covina Mall, behind sushiholics & The Bundt place. Same center where Panera is & Sushiholics, except it's on the back side street, on California Ave. I would have never walked over there, on the backside of the shopping center. Just happy to have found it now! Besides GREAT SERVICE, GREAT FOOD ! We are suckers for birria. So 1st time here we had birria chilaquiles with over medium eggs plate, quesabirria, and ramen birria hehe ! YUMMM Yes, it was good, a little spicy for me, but good. I always have to clarify how I want my eggs at restaurants because believe it or not some cooks don't understand that over medium means soft yolks. They sometimes bring me over hard and that's not what I ordered. Over medium eggs have to be just right! No runny whites and no hard yolk. I explained that to Eduardo when ordering because I didn't want hard or soft; runny & gooey whites ewww. So I'm always very specific. Eduardo said no problem, if we don't get them right we can remake them for you. :D Woohooo ! They were perfect! Not many places get it right the first time, so they always remake them, but not here ! PERFECTION !! Thank you Eduardo!! I was happy ! Can't forget about the coffee!!! Oooh coffee! We love coffee so when the owner told us iced coffee ! Whoa ! Our eyes lit up ! YESSSSS please! It was good as well and when she saw we had finished it, she offered us a free refill. Thank you my new friend! You're the best !!! You made our day !!! We were like we're coming back !!! 2nd time, I had bulgogi breakfast bowl with over medium eggs ! I love eggs with beef ! Who doesn't ?! lol Eggs were perfect ! Beef was perfect too ! My grandson ate all my bulgogi though lol! I guess he liked it too. 3rd time on Friday 7/25/25 Eduardo always very cheerful & welcoming :) I ordered the chicken salad lunch, daughter ordered the green pozole! She's a sucker for green pozole hehe. I loved my salad! It was perfect! The chicken was perfect, pulled pieces with a green dressing that was whoa soooo YUMMMM ! This is making me hungry now. Daughter said pozole was good too Of course we will be back !! Need to try to yellow curry ! Next couple times had to order some previously had dishes like Birria ramen, tacos, pozole and chicken salad. Eduardo also accommodated my grandson, as he loves chicken but we get him grilled chicken. So he made a kids version of the chicken salad and it was just perfect and delicious too. PS good spot for kids too. They have a Foosball table ! So when they get antsy, they can go play! Kids love it and play every time. Great thinking! Thank you for this addition to your restaurant ! It's a plus for us with little ones because it helps with their impatience. This is GOLD !! Thank you Eduardo and Kiren ! We will be back next time we're looking for yummy Mexican food or are nearby. Have you tried ? Let me know if you stop by. I'd love to know what was your favorite dish. Happy eating & happy Yelping ! SYOY or IG ;) PS Support small family owned pro American businesses.

He didn't send it back, but he ate the beans and potatoes, the tortillas were like quesadillas, which he was shocked because he thought it was just tortillas, what a nice surprise. My son had the same as me, and his plate was almost empty. I tapped out because the serving was huge, I was satisfied.
