First time coming to Waba Grill and the food was very delicious! I ordered the Beef and Chicken protein bowl along with steamed veggies and it was flavorful. What complemented my meal even more was the Waba sauce. The lady who took my order was very nice and when asked for an extra Waba sauce she was kind enough to hand me another one. The inside dining area was clean and looked ready for the lunch rush hour. read more

WaBa Grill - Chicken and Beef with Brown Rice and Steamed Veggies - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Food is good, great weekend special where kids eat free with the purchase of my meal. However the restaurant smells like a dirty grease trap. It's so overwhelming that I opened the door and walked right back out because of how bad it smelt. read more

This was my first time ever at a WaBa Grill. I'm definitely glad I tried it. The restaurant was clean and the person who took my order so very nice and helpful. I ordered the sweet and spicy chicken bowl, which was about all I could have there due to my specific food allergy. The food took a long time to make. That's understandable since they are making fresh food. It's just not as convenient for a quick bite. But the meal was very good and very fresh. I just wish there were more choices that were allergy friendly. I don't fault them on that, it's just limiting to me personally. I really liked what I got and will likely go again. read more

Bowls are ok, the white rice is way too dry and no flavor. I do like their wablaze sauce

Visited on Customer Appreciation Day with my kids. We received two complimentary chicken bowls and cookie. I also ordered potstickers as a side. The cashier was very friendly! The food was prepared promptly! Now onto the food! The chicken tasted absolutely delicious! Very soft and juicy! The rice was cooked perfectly and I loved the waba sauce on top! The potstickers were VERY delicious and I dipped them with Boom Boom sauce and it was so good! Will definitely be returning to try other menu items! Thank you for the generous offer on Customer Appreciation Day! read more

$14 Dollars for 3 pieces of chicken and steak. Basically getting a rice bowl with 10g of protein. Menu prices are cheaper than actual price. veggies are not fresh. read more

I've had food here a few times now and it's pretty good. It's pretty similar to Flame Broiler, but I think I might like WaBa just a tad more because they offer seafood and other sauces other than teriyaki. One thing that I had that does not seem to be a regular item on the menu is the kimchi. I was such a big fan of the spicy cucumber kimchi here so I hope they bring it back. I know I can always make my own, but the sweetness and acidity was perfect. I recommend that spicy sauce on whatever protein you decide versus the teriyaki sauce. The teriyaki is not bad, but I like spiciness to my meal. As I mentioned above, food is similar to Flame Broiler. It has the base which is white rice, brown rice or salad and then your protein. They also have an option for picky eaters who are not a fan of the veggies to just have the rice and protein. The plus side is that they are a healthier choice versus Panda or other Asian/Asian inspired fast food places. I know they have 2 locations now and both are clean inside and the workers seem friendly. I don't have a lot of time these days to dine in at places so I'm a big fan of ordering online. That's a plus for me and for people who are in a rush during lunchtime. I am definitely a fan and I would come back. If you guys haven't tried WaBa Grill yet then you should check them out. Service is fast and both locations are located in a nice area. If you sign up to the rewards then you'll get goodies every now and then. read more

Love this place. It's very simple, not too bad for you to eat and very fast. It's around the corner from me and I got here when I need a quick fix food wise. I ordered online and my food was done way before it said it was so I was able to pickup early. The atmosphere is very chill and I appreciate the welcome and smile I get each time I walk in. read more

So glad this place is close to where I live. Love their food and it's always great and freshly prepared. Staff is always friendly and helpful and place is always immaculate. If close by don't hesitate to stop and get some great food read more

I come in here last Thursday after going to Jersey Mike's around 8 PM order a drink and two tacos and then I asked politely to have my drink topped off. I hadn't even touched the drink yet.Then the server that I asked for this request went back and started talking garbage to the other employees. Stating"That fool wants his drink filled up!" My request was ignored. I heard all this nonsense from 30 feet away while waiting for my two tiny, little tacos with hardly anything in them. Felt like they were just discriminating against me. Had high hopes for this place but realized that some pos worked here. Won't be back. read more

Not going to lie, when this place first opened we tried it, and didn't care for it. Today we were going to grab a sandwich from Jersey Mike, but seen a sign for their boom boom tacos. So we changed our minds. We tried one of each, chicken, steak, and shrimp. They were really good. Hopefully they keep them on the menu. The service was great. The reason for 3 stars is all of the tables were dirty and it took a good minuet to get our food. read more

WaBa Grill - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I've ordered food here twice recently and I really liked the quality and the taste. I read some reviews complaining about the wait, but I appreciate that this place does not make the food until I ordered. I would rather wait for fresh food and the staff has been very professional and nice both times. I have tried the tacos and my family had the bowls. Everything is very delicious. I agree with the other reviews it's better than flame broiler. I hope they will keep providing this food just the way they're doing it now. read more

Waba Grill is my new favorite eatery in the SW. So happy to have this so close to home. I always end up debating myself between a Veggie Bowl with half chicken/half steak and Spicy Waba sauce or the Spicy Asian salad. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. There is one man who is always there and works so hard. I assume he is the owner or the manager. Since I order takeout and always he takes a moment to go over every item before bagging my order. He never misses anything and I appreciate the clear communication. I use the app to order and I love the customer rewards. I earn points quick, and the rewards are always awesome, and I often have the choice if a free food item or a dollar amount off my total. We also got a free birthday bowl this year. The food is delicious, but this establishment faces stiff competition in this shopping center. I believe there are seven restaurants on this corner. The excellent service, the easy ordering, and the rewards are why we return most frequently to Waba Grill. read more

WaBa Grill - Salad and Dumpling Menu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bakersfield, California

See all

I was curious about WaBa because I heard a rumor that it was like Flame Broiler, but better. They do have more protein choices and they have dumplings and wontons. I ordered my dinner online for pick up. It was easy. I ordered a beef bowl with white rice and veggies, a 5 piece dumpling, wontons and a side of carrots and jalapeños. Drove over to pick it up. It was ready. Staff was friendly. I got home and opened the bag. No wontons. No carrots an jalapeños. Ok. Bowl and dumplings looked good. Veggies and rice were great. Meat was thin and kind of dry. WaBa sauce had a little kick. Dumplings were tasty, but I didn't really like the sweet and spicy sauce that came with them. I disagree with the rumor I'd heard. read more

WaBa Grill - Beef bowl and dumplings - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I only got 9 of my 10 dumplings which wasn't an issue but such an insult to charge .40 cents for a extra sauce cup and the sauce cup is basically empty. ??? Might as well sell an empty cup for .40 cents lol. The food is good per usual though haha read more

WaBa Grill - Why is it so empty? - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This place is hit or mess it's either super juicy and tasty or dry and hard to eat. Spicy Korean chicken is where it's at though... just gotta catch them on a good day. read more

I finally got to WaBa grill and was not disappointed. I ordered the sweet&hot chicken bowl with rice and veggies. Price was fair and the staff very friendly. This may sound silly but i like sauce and they had no problem giving me extra which is unlike the competitor who changes for any extra little bit. read more

We came here because our friend Autumn woeks here & recommended it, we went and tried it and she was right! Great fresh food. I'm skeptical about all new places but i definitely recommend this place for the food and service. Ask for Autumn!!! She will recommend something great and you won't be disappointed read more

Got sweet & spicy chicken bowl. It was just ok. Did not care for the consistency of the rice. Was hard. Chicken was ok but there were several large pieces and some fatty gristle. We also got the regular chicken bowl and the review on it is the same. Much better to go across the street to Wok It Off. read more

I hear a lot of good things about Waba grill. So I decided to give it a try! A lot of people have compared it to flame broiler and while I can see the similarity they do not taste the same. Waba grill chicken is very juicy and you can taste the freshness in the vegetable. Will I come back again? Yes! The food is a little overpriced but what restaurant in Bakersfield hasn't raised their prices already? Stop by you won't regret it aside from it being delicious it is also healthy! read more

And the lady there just took an oder after me, but try to done it first and give it to the girl oder after me cause they know each other. And even the giy oder after me get his food before me too. My food done before them, and they just leave it at the counter. Untill i can't stand it anymore and ask them. Im come here so many times already, but this time will be the last time!!! read more

We've had WaBa Grill twice now and each time we've enjoyed it. We love the WaBa bowl, chicken and beef, on a bed of brown rice and veggies topped with green onions. Both protein choices are super tasty. The rice is perfectly cooked, which can be difficult with brown rice. The veggies consist of sliced carrots, broccoli, and cabbage. We love their dumplings and share an order of 10. Needless to say, between the bowl and the dumplings, I have enough leftovers for another meal. Highly recommend for a healthy, quick meal. read more

I sometimes visit this location after going to the gym. The customer service is always amazing. The dining room is always clean and the food is always fresh and flavorful but I'm writing this to say thank to the staff at this location. I left my water bottle (hydro flask's) there and they put it aside for me. I really appreciated that. read more

The food here is really good! They have so many choices to pick from. My first time here the customer service was amazing. Really recommend coming and giving the food here a try !!! read more

Today I took a leap. It being my first time in a waba grill I secretly let the stranger infront of me decide my fate. I was going to order exactly what she ordered. It was a good leap. Spicy sweet chicken. It's pretty similar to other rice bowl type places but this felt cleaner. Also it's super close. This shopping mall strip is picking up some traction! read more

Just like Cody, 3 days later after him they were still out of mini bowls. I suggest ordering online prior to your visit. We ordered at the counter and it was a 20 minute wait before our food was ready, read more

This place is new to me so it was my first time. It was really good! I do like my chicken a little crispier but the chicken rice and veggie bowl was very good. The steak and chicken was super good!! Highly recommend it's very healthy and delicious read more

This location (Ashe) has the best employees! Food is great as well but the service is refreshing!

Average at best but for the price it's what you expect. The location was very clean and staff was friendly. The food overall not too crazy about it. But it is a solid meal that's easy on your wallet. read more

This is the best and the first WaBa Grill. The quality, the service, and the design is amazing. If you're around the area and craving for WaBa Grill, you must check this out. read more

This restaurant is amazing!! The bowls are not only healthy but delicious. The menu has a variety of options such as the bowls, the dumplings, the tacos, the drink, and even have healthier dessert options like cookies, marshmello bars, and brownies. The place is nice and clean always along with having great customer service. If you are looking for healthier food options that still taste amazing and Asian infused , I really recommend WabaGrill!!:) read more

Incredible Quality and Portions of food for the price. I always order the Half Chicken & Half Steak over white rice (Bowl) and let me tell you... there's nothing more satisfying than the flavors maxing out in your mouth. The tastes will make you actually want to take up arms to defend the WaBa Grill Company at all costs going as far as demanding a semi-autonomous economic zone with WaBa Grill as the Central Headquarters. The food is amazing, just try it out. The spicy sauce is pretty good as well. read more

The food was cold and I seen this guy scratch his butt and the was a big in my food do not recommend

Terrible service do not recommend to anyone waist of money the food isn't very good and no people skills

First let me start by saying their food is sooooo gooddd! The only reason they lost one star is because there were 0 sauces in the bag. Yes I ordered them lol. Pretty sureSo, good is 5 stars every time (3/4 times). The sauce is pretty important to us though read more
