Food is always great! Except when you come in and it's always the short paisa in the back cooking and he has an attitude because I came over and told the cashier I wanted brown rice instead of white rice. I didn't like how he slide through the bowl to the cashier. I mean I'm not asking for free I'm paying body language has everything to do with it. Maybe the cook guy was having a bad day or is tired of working there. read more

For starters my boyfriend asked for extra sauce it seems like they're stingy with it because they only put 2 sauces for 2 veggie rice bowls and 10 dumplings. How would that ever be enough maybe be more considerate and put 2 for each plate incase 1 isn't enough. For second it seems like the broccoli wasn't even steamed or cooked or anything it was hard to chew. Last but not least they didn't cook the shrimp enough it was too soft/squishy. read more

Calling to put a pick up order in, I got hung up on twice. Never said anything, I said hello a couple times before being hung up on. Then after that, it's like they just left the phone on to sound busy. So unprofessional, if it's busy, just lmk I need to wait. I'd have no problem waiting for you to take care the customer in store. read more

First of they say they don't have regular cups in person only large size but yet online when you placed the order it says they have regular cups and ready for pick up . So I asked for a drink size regular , the worker said " we only have one size " large and it doesn't even have the WaBa grill logo , anyways so I was like never mind I got online and tried to make an order for the drink size regular for pick up to this location and it let me , so I go and tell her I have an online order , and magically out of nowhere from the bottom she gives me a regular cup . That's not right , that's no representing WaBa , with that service I wouldn't want to go to this location , also they are always in a bad mood to help and even place an online order or when you walk in read more

Online order Show up nobody at counter all stuff is off due to computer failure Nobody in front all staff in the back talking like viejas chismosas Horribly ran business can't believe they are paying these people Then the lady that handed me the food said Thank you and your welcome to herself before I said a thank you The chisme must have been so good she had to run back to it asap over taking care of a customer Also I had to yell HELLOOOO and EXCUSEE MEEE For someone to come out Never ever returning Should've listened to the reviews before me Hope you guys change staff and or service For the sake of the place, might have to shut it down how horribly it's ran Let's get better and stay healthy!

The food is so delicious! I would give it 5 stars but the service here is a hit and miss.. Alicia is the best cashier! Her customer service is outstanding. I used to get a great portion size for their value bowl but now their portion has significantly dropped. read more

Writing a bad review DOES NOT feel good but in this case I feel I must. So I made an order online and simply made a mistake so I called this location to cancel the Lady who answered the phone was SUPER RUDE ! So I decided to stop at this location to make sure she would give me my refund She supposedly said her name was "ALICIA" which I doubt didn't even have a name tag she told me I had to wait 30mins to get a refund I looked at her confused the place is empty I asked to speak to her manager she told me she couldn't provide me with a phone number I don't see any number around you can call when you have a problem she told me to call corporate if I had a problem .. this lady was super unprofessional has no people skills super bad Customer service instead of making me want to come back I definitely will not come back to this location or might now even purchase at any read more

WaBa Grill - LITERALLY one person attending. She is on the phone and customers have been waiting for her for like a good 5 minutes just waiting for her - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bell Gardens, California

I just love Waba period and when I found out that they were opening one in Bell Gardens I was beyond excited. Today was my first time stepping foot into this particular location and it won't be the last. The restaurant was not packed at all, maybe because they just opened? whatever the case is, I'm happy. I ordered their Chicken Plate (#2 on the menu) with brown rice... bomb! You also have the option of getting white rice and white meat chicken. I'm not much of a healthy eater (I know, I know, shame on me) but with restaurants like these, I enjoy the healthy side. No oil is used in their cooking, the food is cooked fresh to order, it's high on protein, low on fat, low calories and let's not forget the fresh veggies... waaaa? Sounds incredibly awesome to me! Not only are you getting a bowl/plate of deliciousness, you are also getting great friendly service. The employees are awesome! read more

I'm on a very strict diet and unfortunately Waba Grill is one of the few things I'm able to grab on the go. This location advertises its business hours as open until 10:30 he sign outside is turned on as open yet I walk in at 10:20 and I'm turned away because they're closed for cleaning. The cashier seemed to be on her phone as her head was down except for the time she looked up to turn me away. Very poor customer service. Highly disappointed read more

WaBa Grill - Sign says open, online says open but the employees don't seem to follow set times. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bell Gardens, California

Bunch of lazy workers! It's not even closing time and they say they can't serve me because they're already picking everything up, fyi I walked in at 10:10 pm. Another bad situation I had was, I went in at 10:05 pm and told me I had to make my order to go because they close at 10:30 pm. read more

Don't come here if you're ready for the bad service I came in 20 mins before closing time I placed my other I can see the cook isn't cooking anything then the cashier says "we cant take orders no more our machines are off " you could've just told me you wanted to go home early read more

I hate the service they are always burning my Dumplings and they never have the Louisiana sauce read more

WaBa Grill - I hate the service they are always burning my dumplings - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bell Gardens, California

Customer service goes a huge way. A hello or thank you back is basic. I was saddened to see people standing there not even being greeted when they walked in standing to get their orders taken for minutes, with out even being told "I'll be with you soon". Head nod to you Ms. Angie Food was good. But also took to damn long. 25 freakin minutes, I should of went to the dam Olive Garden. read more

Took my brother there today, this was the his first time trying it. He has only had flame broiler, I told him he will get so many more options. We walked in, I haven't made up my mind. So, I had questions, no biggie. The cashier Cinthia, she took my order answered all my questions and was very nice. However, the person helping in the front was very annoyed and so rude. Her name was Lizzette, she a aggressive stare and seemed to want me to engage with her. I refused to, the experience was weird and unnecessary drama for no reason. Won't go back to waba grill anymore I will stick to flame broiler or any place that appreciate their customers. read more

I am very pleased with Krystal's service. Unfortunately there was a power outage and she handled it extremely well! You can definitely tell she is a hard a worker, was super kind, did above and beyond to please the customer, etc. This women deserves a raise! read more

Third week in a row that I come to eat here and the shrimp is RAW. I even told them today to make sure the shrimp is well done and again they served RAW undercooked shrimp. The cook doesn't seem to care for what he is doing. Horrible service. GET A NEW COOK. read more

This is my first ever review on yelp and I only did it because this is the worst waba grill I've ever been to. The chicken bowl was literally rice and chicken, dry as h*ll and no veggies whatsoever. They register person was also the cool and it looked like she had no idea what she was doing. Worst experience ever. This plate was dry asf. ZERO STARS IF I COULD. read more

Waba Grill has good food for you to have fish chicken steak and also a variety of white rice or brown rice I prefer the brown rice with his real good nice and healthy and their chicken is real good very tasty I enjoyed it will always come back to Waba Grill read more

I've been the biggest fan of their salmon plate/bowl/salad, until today. I am certain that they've changed their entire salmon. It does not look pink and appetizing anymore, it's pale. At first I thought they confused my order for chicken, but it's their new salmon. I am not a fan at all. It tasted "fishier" and not fresh at all. read more

I saw a number of pics on Instagram and got very curious about trying Waba out. One word sums up this "Teriyaki House".....wait for it....BLAND. I don't get what all the buzz is for. It tasted like thawed out chicken that had one thin layer of teriyaki sauce. The service was good but the flavor was absent. Two thumbs down. read more

I've been here a couple of times now. The restaurant is pretty clean and the staff here are pretty nice ever time I come here. The food is pretty much on point. The kale salad I took a picture of,was really good. I'll be coming back soon. read more

i put up with the price point for a while because this waba grill is closer than downey to me, but after a few times of finding hair in my food and this last experience there, i cannot anymore. this last time i came to order a chicken bowl with avocado. this always runs somewhere between 10-12 bucks and i figure, k, for this type of food i can expect that even if 2 dollars is kind of a lot for just half an avocado. but whatever, i can ignore it if i can get some quick food after buying some foils from sally and just quickly make my way home. sometime after i return home with the food i check it out and see that not only is the rice portion off, i notice that instead of giving me at least a scoop of chicken, it's looks like crumbs. chicken crumbs. it's chicken chopped so fine that it looks like dust. i wish i was kidding i made my way back to the store and explained the situation and asked the cashier to remake it. she tried to charge me for an extra scoop. maybe she was assuming i had eaten part of the bowl already (lol), but i just asked if she can remake it correctly. she agreed. i came home and it turns out she just threw in a few pieces that could be picked up in one or two forkfuls. so disappointing. from the looks of the reviews, training seems to be the biggest issue here. listen, we get it-- they don't pay you enough to "put up" with us customers. i don't come to waba grill expecting a 5 star restaurant but i do expect there to be a bar. the employees are consistent in one thing and that's disappointment. avoid. make your way up the street to golden bowl for better food. read more

I'm totally disaponted with the customer service greeting. I really don't write review but due to the really bad attitude & Blaming approave from the cashier Cinthia D. This definitely makes me write a bad review of this specific Waba restaurant. I order two Waba Plates and in a matter of 3 min. The food was ready. I was surprise on their quick service. I asked Cinthia D. If that was my order and she confirm "Yes". I decided to get a side order and was told that it would take 10 min. I o.k. the waiting time and mean time I was waiting. A client showed up to pick up his order. Cinthia miss place the client receipt and was all over the place looking for the receipt that the client had order prior to my order. Cinthia asked for my receipt and she blamed me that I gotten someone else food. I was totally shock on the way she announced it in front of others. My first reaction response was " excuse me" she keep on insisting in a stubborn way. I brought up to her attention that she made the mistake on miss charging me and she called out that the two plates were mine. I even told her to check her cameras so she could see that she confirm that it was my food. She accuse me of being a liar and that I was taking someone else food. Totally feel that she humiliated me in front of others. I asked to speak to a manager and she announce it out load " You figure it your self" . This type of customer service really gets me thinking if this employee really want to do their job or not. I'm a big believer of threating people with respect and great customer service. Cinthia has a bad attitude, does not recognize her mistake, totally rude, humiliate approached and really combative person. Waba Grill food is all great but this time I really need to give it one star due to employees not backing up their employers. read more

A very tasty and healthy choice for an area without many options beyond Mexican food, fast food, and Mexican fast food. The menu consists of your choice of terriyaki beef, chicken, or salmon on top of rice, and a side of fruit and veggies. Very basic, but tastes fresh and delicious. read more
