    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.

    If you're looking for a solid Thai spot in Long Beach, this has become one of our family's feel…read moregood go to places. Every dish we've tried has been full of flavor and genuinely worth ordering. Surprisingly, compared to other Thai spots, it's usually not overly packed and honestly I'm almost scared to say that because I don't want it to change. The service has always been great, the food comes out quickly, and the portions/prices feel reasonable. So far, our favorites have been the pad see ew, tom yum soup (medium spice), egg fried rice, fried calamari and the beef BBQ which was so good we immediately ordered a second plate. The mango sticky rice is also really good, but the portion is on the smaller side, so we ended up getting two orders since one plate is hard to share with more than 2-3 people. Parking has been easy for us so far since there's both a parking lot and nearby street parking. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants that's officially in our regular rotation.

    KIN Thai Cuisine in Long Beach off Broadway is a really solid spot…read more Parking is available, but it is limited, so just keep that in mind depending on the time you go. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, including the restrooms, which I always appreciate. The staff was very customer service oriented and did a great job making suggestions and giving tips about the menu and spice levels, which was super helpful. I started with the Money Bags, which are basically fried dumplings. Mine were a little overcooked, almost close to burnt. They still had decent flavor, but I'd personally rate them about a 2.9 out of 5. I also had the green papaya salad with mild spice, and the spice level was perfect, especially for people who are sensitive to heat. I usually stick around medium spice at Thai restaurants, but even the mild here still gives you a nice kick. For my drink, I got the Thai tea, which came topped with a Thai tea popsicle that slowly melted into the drink. Such a cute touch, creative, and tasty. For my entrée, I had the basil garlic sauce with sliced steak and a side of rice, which I really enjoyed. For dessert, we shared the mango sticky rice. It was good, but I do feel like it was a little overpriced for the portion size. Maybe part of that is because of the specialty rice they use that has the purple hue. I know a few places in Long Beach where you can get more for the same price. That said, the presentation was really cute with the flower garnish and everything looked beautiful. The atmosphere was nice. It has an open kitchen concept, so you can actually see the cooking happening, which adds to the experience. Seating is somewhat limited and the tables are fairly close together in certain sections, especially where the divider walls are, so you can definitely hear nearby conversations depending on where you sit. Great food, clean restaurant, and strong customer service. I'd definitely come back. Flavor Profile (for reference): Umami-forward (savory, salty depth) Acidic or bright (tangy + sour) Pungent and intense (spicy and bitter notes) Drink Preference (for reference): Bitter-forward cocktails Balanced acidity Light sweetness only, not overly sugary
