Mini beef bowl
Lucy T.

The woman cashier who takes orders is so sweet! She is always so welcoming! I would get a mini bowl because the big bowl is way too much! The beef and chicken bowl are always delicious and healthy! I also ordered a Thai tea and it was really good!

Kiosk broken

Worst location horrible service. Won't take your order, force to use kiosk. And Kiosk doesn't work....get it together or shut the place down

Sample of the plantspired steak! So yummy!

Giving my local Waba Grill location 5 stars! The food is always great and the service is excellent! Christina is amazing at customer service, and even let me try a sample of the plantspired steak which was delicious! Thanks Christina and Waba Grill!

shrimp veggie bowl with white rice and WaBa sauce ($13.90) 5/19/20

My personal experience recognizes Waba Grill for bland food. It'd been a few years since I'd tried them, so I thought a COVID-19 quarantine delivery on 5/19/20 was in order. Through Postmates I got $.99 delivery. Not bad. The order went through at 5:39PM and was at our doorstep at 6:04. Again, not bad. The food overall, though, while fresh and certainly healthy just isn't all that satisfying even with garlic Serrano sauce, WaBa sauce, soy sauce, Sriracha... geeze. One daughter wanted the chicken veggie bowl with white rice and no sauce ($10.19). She ended up wanting "some kind of sauce." The other girl wanted the shrimp veggie bowl with white rice and WaBa sauce ($13.90). This girl didn't like the WaBa sauce. I couldn't win for trying. Two fails in a row. My salmon veggie bowl with brown rice and garlic Serrano sauce ($13.09) was A-okay. Bland. Not a very large portion. The most disappointing item was the side cucumber edamame kimchi ($2.25). Why so sweet? If your tastebuds aren't on a bland diet, then pass.

Picked dinner up from here last night and had an awful experience. We had three bowls which totaled $34. They had a promotion for free dumplings if you spend $20 or more and we spent well above that. They would not honor it. They insisted that the promotion was over when it clearly states april 23-April 24. Aside from that the food was cold and the steak bowl was super salty. Dont recommend this location as they don't honor their own promotion and the quality of the food is not all there.

That's all there was inside steak bowl.

They gave me only part of my bowl. Ridiculous small portion - I have never experienced this before in any other Waba. Will not return.

This place really is Asian fusion! The menu is so diverse with so many flavors of different Asian…read morecuisines. I felt almost confused at first, like as if the restaurant wasn't even sure of its own identity. However, once I started eating the food, I understood and am extremely impressed. I had ordered the crawfish pasta, popcorn chicken (spicy), and fried baos. The pasta was cooked perfectly with chunks of crawfish and sausage in a creamy tomato-esque sauce. I usually don't care for crawfish, but it was so delicious here. The sauce was so buttery and creamy, and the sausage added a cajun spice to the dish. The components are all very seafood boil, but felt different and innovative with unique flavors. The popcorn chicken was seasoned very well and had the perfect fried, crispy texture you'd expect from popcorn chicken. What really made this unique was the sauce that it was served with. I am not sure what exactly the sauce is, but it tastes like a ginger scallion sauce that is served with Chinese boiled chicken. The sauce is a little more elevated and flavorful than a traditional ginger scallion sauce. I would've never thought to combine popcorn chicken with it, but it works! The fried baos were the most surprising to me. I was keeping my expectations low because I usually think frying something that's not normally fried doesn't always bode well. Fear not, the baos were fried perfectly. They were fried lightly while the inside kept your typical bao consistency. Also, in case you were wondering the type of bao, it is basically a steamed bao with ground pork, and I think an egg yolk inside. The flavors felt very much like traditional dim sum, yet new and fresh. Hats off to the chefs and the creators of these dishes. So innovative while still keeping the familiar Asian flavors! I ordered delivery, so this review was solely based off of the food.

Really fire food recommend that everyone check this spot out…read more Great service Very friendly staff The restaurant has a nice spot to dine in n bring your family

Fantastic first dine-in experience!! The food was great! So good we forgot to take the before shot…read more The pepino lemon chia drink was SO refreshing! Love the vibe here! Will def be back soon Also** I've tried the birria with a too-good-to-go order & it was so fantastic it brought me back in!

We came here on of a whim one day because we saw a TikTok that showed a car table and our toddler…read moreloves cars so we thought it would be a cute lil thing for him. We definitely didn't expect the food to be so great! We've been here about 4 times now and their food is consistently delicious. My order is always their Yakimechi bowl. Which is their version of fried rice with squash, carrots, shrimp, beef & chicken. They top it with cream cheese, crab, avocado, eel sauce & sesame seeds. HIGHLY recommend this dish! We've also tried some of their sushi rolls and all have been tasty. Today we tried their Masago Sinaloense which has crab inside and is topped with shrimp, spicy mayo, eel sauce, sriracha & sesame seeds. Their Culiacan Roll is one of our favorites! Besides really great fried rice and sushi, their birria is one of our favorites. My toddler absolutely loves their tacos de birria con consomé. They are not stingy with the birria either! Very filling portions. Their micheaguas are super refreshing too. Now, as far as the service and the vibe, this restaurant has to be one of the most wholesome spots in Lynwood. The restaurant is ran by a family and we met the dad on our first visit. He told us he opened the restaurant and his kids help out. Everyone we've met is super friendly, attentive, and welcoming. This helps them a lot because the wait time is veeerrrryy long...30min+ sometimes. We ordered in advance this time and when we arrived, our food was ready. I do recommend dining in the first time because they have great food presentation BUT fair warning that it will be a bit of a wait. It's worth it though. After that, call in your order and just pick up or eat there like we did. They have a great outside area with plenty of seats and shade. They also have TV's all around now (guessing bc of the World Cup?) but this was a great addition. Overall, this is a great lil hidden spot in South Gate/Lynwood area. Would absolutely recommend!
