    The food is good. They have vegetarian options. I love the different sauces you can choose from. My niece likes to get food from here. Their service is good. I've had to cancel an order or two because they were out of something. There's plenty of room to dine in. Most people seem to pick up their food and take it to go. The restaurant is clean enough to eat there.

    Waba Bowl with Its low rice, chicken and steak portions.

    Waba Grill is dead. I have had terrible experiences with greedy portions and dirty practices with other local Waba Grills. This location stood out for a little while, it provided fair portions and service. It was my go to Waba to avoid the other ones even if it meant driving twice the distance. However, today it obliterated my positive outlook on Waba Grill entirely. First I show up to get my order and as I walk in the restaurant had a very foul odor. It literally smelled like a dirty bathroom because someone didn't clean the feces. Next, I ask for my order and it still not ready and being packed even though I'm there 5 minutes after it was supposed to be ready. By the time I get my bag with the 4 bowls I ordered the food is now luke warm. Here is the worst part and the most upsetting. The portions of food are absurdly ridiculous. I got one chicken veggie bowl, one chicken bowl, one Waba bowl and one steak bowl and a 5 piece dumpling order for $50.13. The steak bowl was more of a rice bowl because the portion was so small idk how it could be called a steak bowl. My Waba bowl was the same but both the chicken and steak portions were also reduced. The more saddening part is even the rice portions are low. $50.13 for RICE with mediocre chicken and steak portions is just absurd and greedy. They are even taking Waba sauce and bottling it themselves and writing Waba sauce with sharpie on the caps to resell it. How much penny pinching is going on in this business? Is it too slow that there is not enough business that they're going with these greedy business tactics? If that's the case then based on my experience today, why wouldn't it be slow? How do businesses treat their customers this way and expect to succeed and remain busy and prosperous? What in the hell is going on with Waba?? This was not how Waba Grill was 2+ years ago. It has just been going on a huge decline. It isn't one location here and there anymore, it's basically every location now! Are these franchises just being sold to anyone now? Waba has nothing but greedy business owners who serve you less and charge you more. Last time I ever step foot into any Waba Grill. I will not support a company who cares more about their pockets than their customers receiving the fair amount of food and service that they are paying for.

    I want to give a huge shoutout to Willie. He went above and beyond by letting us know about current specials and actually saving us money on our order. His kindness truly stood out and made our experience feel great. WaBa is lucky to have him!

    After over a year, I finally came back to this location. I didn't want anything except the Pork…read moreBelly Banh Mi sandwich. Once again, I stand by claim that this is the most delicious sandwich there is! Specifically at this location, they have it down right. I tried this sandwich at a different Carrot and Daikon and it just didn't hit the way it does at this Corona location. Maybe I'm crazy, but if you have never tried this spot, try the Pork Belly here. The pork belly crunch followed by the fat that melts in your mouth, complimented with a slightly sweet and mostly savory sauce. Of course the carrot, Daikon, jalapeno and cilantro with the fresh banh mi make this top notch!! Wowza!

    Full disclosure: I'm always suspicious of places that straddle the "fusion" food fence. I find…read more"fusion" usually translates to smothering something in an off-the-shelf international aisle sauce or wrapping it in a tortilla. Now, let me be clear, this restaurant does NOT mention the term fusion - at all. However, their menu whispers, "Hey there..." Crispy pork belly, lomo saltado, spam and egg. And, oh, brothers and sisters, they have gotten as close to paying the proper homage to all fusion cultures as I've seen. SPAM AND EGG: I'm chubby so SPAM is like my kryptonite. I had to have it. This sandwich threw me for a look. I'm used to other places overcooking the spam. NOT so at C&D. The spam was juicy. The fried egg was fluffy. The spicy sauce was genuinly spicy. I loved it so much that I've had it twice in three days. CRISPY PORK: I love the Chinese/Filipino Crispy Pork. The pork was nice and juicy. The skin was crunchy. Really great flavor. The only drawback was my own fault...of eating it cold because I had to eat the Spam and Egg sandwich first. LOMO SALTADO: I've got this sandwich sitting on my counter calling to me, in the queue while I finish my 2nd Spam and Egg Sandwich. I will come back to this review later today to fill in this blank. VIETNAMESE COFFEE (Large): I liked it. Yep. Not as overly sweet as I'm used to at Mr. Bagguette in LA, and that's a great thing. The only drawback is that it has a caffeine KICK. I felt the caffeine flowing through my veins 10 minutes after I took my first sip. Bread: In banh mi, the bread is the make-or-break. Here, the bread is not your typical medium to hard crunchy exterior and soft interior. The bread is on the softer side on the outside. It is a great change in pace for me because I haven't cut the top palette of my mouth like I usually do with harder bread. AND...that means that the sandwich doesn't lose it's character when I ate the sandwich cold later. STAFF: Very friendly! They are there to serve the customer. I've been greeted with a smile and genuine happiness. Great work C&D. You have a customer!

I personally didn't love the tacos, but to be fair, I also didn't try anything else on the menu so I can't speak for the rest of their food. The place itself is a decent size, and the patio area is actually pretty nice. The staff was very kind, my order was ready right on time, and I appreciated that they weren't stingy with the sauces. Overall not a bad spot, but the quesabirria tacos just didn't fully hit for me. Oh well *shrug*

The next day I went for the first time, I was in a hurry and I only had 20 minutes to be back at the hospital. Although I wanted shrimp and or a fish that was going to take 20 minutes to make it and I did not have that to give. The cashier lady said that the barbecue beef would be the fastest thing to make so I went with that. I ordered two. I got that in about 10 minutes and I was able to rush back to the hospital in time. Later, I was eating this on my way home and while driving and can I tell you that this was GOOD. I really wish I was sitting at a table to eat it because I just wanted to chow down, but I could only take quick bites at lights so I was very sad about that. The next day, I decided to stop by again because if you find something good, no need to go somewhere else. This time, I was with my mom and based on the pictures on the wall, she chose the Hawaiian fried rice mix and we decided to share it. There was so much food. We were both able to eat and each had leftovers to eat the other half the next day. The food is really good and I will definitely be back.

    First off, I've never been to a Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar in any city that I've lived in. I've…read morelived in San Diego and I've lived in Baldwin Park and always seem to forget this place exists. Here's my honest review! We got to Lazy Dog in Corona around 9:45 pm where the greeter met us right away and took us to a booth located in the bar area. I am a bit weary of booths, and also weary of high top tables because I'm pregnant and have difficulty climbing/stretching just to sit in high top tables and weary of how tight booths can be in certain restaurants. The booth here at Lazy Dog was perfect! We got our menus and began looking until our server approached us. He introduced himself, his name was Javier, and asked us if this was our first time, to which he replied that yes it was. He explained the menus we were given and took our drink order while we reviewed the menus. Since it was happy hour, we tried their buffalo wings and Tangy BBQ Chips to start. I did not take pictures of those items and wish I had. The happy hour items we ordered were delivered by the Manager, who was very nice and chatted with us briefly. She welcomed us as first timers and that usually sets the stage for us when the manager interacts with the customers. The wings had a nice flavor and the chips were definitely addicting. My husband asked for a dipping cup of the high altitude sauce (Javier said it was their hottest) and that was a pretty good sauce with good flavor. To drink I had a Strawberry Citrus refresher, and it was actually really good. Husband had a regular Michelob Ultra, and had no complaints. We both chose food items from the menu, under the $15 Fireside Favorites. You get a choice of an entree and desert. Husband chose the fried chicken dinner with an extra piece of fried chicken and I chose the fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp. The food was good, I enjoyed my fettuccini Alfredo which I'm usually picky about. The husband was a little thrown off as he thought the chicken was going to be like bone in fried chicken, and in the end he said it was good regardless. For desert, he got the S'more Brownie Sundae and I got the Banana Pudding. I was sold on the banana pudding, as was my husband. We ended up finishing my desert and took his brownie home (which got eaten later during our movie at home). I have to say, I'd definitely come back. There was so much on the menu that I would like to try.

    Haven't been here for 2 years. We arrived there about 8 p.m. I ordered the Honey Miso Chicken Meal…read more It's a new item on the menu $15 Fireside Favorite. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste. There were about 6 chunky chicken pieces, they were lightly breaded, tasted like white breast meat; also there was ginger, garlic, zucchini, onions, a few red bell peppers, and water chestnuts in the bowl. Included was cucumbers salad and steamed rice. I've had their chilled cucumber salad before and this time the cucumber taste wasn't the same, guess the juice would blend too much with the miso sauce. The bowl could have had more honey miso sauce. The chicken pieces were about 1-2" in size. The sauce was mostly over the vegetables. The meal also came with a choice of S'more brownie sundae or banana pudding. My pudding was delicious. The waitress didn't come around often to check on our needs. I had to stop her to ask for paper napkins, water refill and the check. I would definitely go back.
