    Chicken waba bowl

    This is the only waba store I've came to that weights the rice the chicken ... the portions are extremely little I'm still hungry didn't get full... at other wabas I've been too I always leave food in my bowl this and they don't wight the rice or chicken this place is horrible I hated so much the only reason I come back is because it's the only one near me ...the rice is not even Evenly in the bowl .. I wish the option for rating this place would be 0 stars

    Why is there barely any meat on this ? And the avacado is old too!

    Usually me and my girl friend have a good experience at this Waba grill but today we're having a bad one! Why is there barely any meat on this ? And the avacado is old too!

    If you're VEGAN or VEGETARIAN DO NOT BUY HERE. I work nearby, have ordered a few times hoping I don't get any meat contaminants. It ALWAYS happens. I guess they don't understand why someone would order tofu. I've also told them about this problem and haven't corrected it. They also just newly added an online ordering fee. Trash location.

    Thank you to Mark Kim and his amazing generous staff at this Waba grill for donating such an outstanding delicious lunch to me and my coworkers at UCLA. He gave us steak and chicken plate that had salad, Orange, and cookies, and even a water. We are so grateful for your kindness and generosity and the food is so delicious and healthy. Thank you thank you thank you

    Fresh!!!

    This meal was so fire .. didn't know this was open! Glad it opened down the street needed this healthy alternative in my life! #healthiswealth my favorite was the Wahba plate with brown rice !

    DISGUSTING!!! DISGUSTING!! DISGUSTING!!! Found a fly in my food and when I called to let the location know they asked to bring all my food back. My co workers and I were half way with our bowls so we just threw the rest away. When back at the location the manager picked up the fly from the dumpling and acted like it was just something from the grill. Mentioning it was pepper. Pepper does not have WINGS! Then gave me a hard time about refunding my money. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. The manger I spoke to was Jessina, very rude manager.

What a beautiful surprise, as we stepped inside of this gorgeous restaurant! The entrance and winding path easily had me at hello! Miso Greens Salad | I'm a salad girl and this is definitely a memorable bite! Between the juicy slices of mango, crispy wontons strips, red pepper, tangy miso dressing and more... I was craving each bite one after the other with the quickness! Haha! Every single bite and I'm not kidding, was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor, & mouth watering! I would 100% get the salad again and highly recommend it! Decor | Beautiful! What a stunning restaurant! I found myself looking around constantly!The lighting, presence of Buddhas sprinkled throughout, cozy seating with colorful pillows, wood interior, the colorful lighting... and don't even get me started on the gorgeous waterfront views! Tantalum easily transports your senses to Indonesia via food and atmosphere! I'm all for it and loved every moment of it! Customer Service | Irma was incredibly friendly and helpful with the menu! Thanks again for helping me decide between the heirloom tomato salad and the miso green salad; tried something new! Overall | Yes, please! If a single salad was so memorable, I can only imagine a full meal! I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu on my next visit! Let's go!

We overtipped, to probably compensate for our last visit. However, the new kitchen manager has clearly changed the calamari (10/10 before, 3/10 now, to the point I felt embarrassed that I'd waxed poetic about it to my out of town guests, who didn't have more than a few pieces, and the ones I ate were just to kind of toe a line), and this is pedantic, but sesame buns for the sliders was a weird choice. So they're no longer on my shitlist, but I do think I'm going to need to try different go-tos. I'm almost scared to try the tuna tartare (my other go to) after the change in the calamari and sliders. I really so desperately urge management to bring back the former chef, because the current one really seems to expending the least effort possible. And for the record, there was a "specials" slip left on our table, with one of the items noted as "sold out." On a Monday, by 5p. Something is going wrong here. I'm going to try yet again, but the changes that have thus far been made absolutely suck. Ambiance still a 10/10.

    This place was such a pleasant surprise. From the outside, it looks pretty unassuming, but once you…read morestep inside, it's actually incredibly cute and has a warm, inviting atmosphere. One of the highlights is their Thai tea, which is served with a popsicle and seems to be one of their most popular items for good reason. It's fun, unique, and absolutely delicious. I also tried the salmon curry, which was something new for me, and I ended up loving it. The flavors were rich, balanced, and unlike anything I've ordered before. Another unexpected favorite was the wings. I'm usually not a big wings person, but these were surprisingly good--crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. Overall, the food, drinks, and atmosphere exceeded my expectations. It's a spot I would absolutely come back to and one that I would definitely recommend to others.

Kin was one of the only restaurants open until 10 PM. We were seated right away, and somehow the five of us sat in a private room. It was kind of late for me to eat anything really heavy so I just have my usual salad and it was the beef tenderloin salad. They serve it up with a lot of beef and less veggies. The beef itself was a little chewy and in large pieces. I prefer the meat to be cut a little smaller and would like more lettuce and cucumber. I got a little taste of the spicy fried rice, which was really good. Some of us ordered Thai tea and didn't expect what we received, which was the tea with a Thai tea popsicle. What a treat! The Thai tea itself was pretty standard, but that popsicle was like the icing on a cake. The places, modern and clean. Staff is helpful and nice. Parking is their own lot but can be difficult to get a spot on a busy day or night.

We started with the Beef Carpaccio with Arugula Salad and the Truffle Cheese Bread, both of which were excellent appetizers and set the tone for a wonderful meal. For our entrées, we ordered the Seafood Mafaldine, Branzino Piccata, and Braised Short Rib. The standout for me was the Braised Short Rib--tender, slow-cooked to perfection, and paired with creamy garlic mashed potatoes that had the perfect texture. The Seafood Mafaldine was equally impressive, with a rich, flavorful sauce that was simply heavenly.
