Plant-based "steak"
Britney M.

WaBa-tastic! I placed an order on the website for pick up. My order was ready when I arrived. Perfect service. Casual dining inside, but I grabbed it to go. It was all packaged with utensils and napkins, plus the legendary WaBa sauce! I love that sauce. I ordered a salon plate with white rice and vegetables. I requested just broccoli and carrots, no cabbage. But I still got cabbage- gross lol I also ordered a side of avocado. The avocado was fresh and came in a side container. I wanted to try the plant based "steak" that they have and it was decent. Not bad at all for plant based meat substitute! Overall not a bad meal!

It's been a minute I've came here. This was my original Waba Grill I had 1st ever. In this location and has been hooked since! Love Waba Grill. Came here to grab a Rib Eye bowl for my oldest son. Ordering was really easy and fast. Associate was really nice and I received my bowl pretty fast. Rib eye steak is pretty tender & good. Located in the same plaza as Rite Aid. Starbucks & right next to Sushi Pop. Lots of seatings available. Including table booths. It's like any basic Waba Grill fast food restaurant. Parking is pretty easy to find. Tip~ Download the app to receive deals coupons, earn points towards savings & a free bowl on your birthday.

I come here 2 to 3 times a week. But I will never come back for lunch again. I order the 2 bowl special and ask for extra hot sauce and they told me 35 cents additional per packet. . I can see you have a counter full. What makes it worse she was rude about it. Come on! You being serious. You lost me as customer.

Chicken plate, sans rice. Extra salad.

My family gets take out for dinner from this location about twice a month. Food is always cooked fresh to order. Staff is friendly and our special requests are always made with ease and no error. We will continue to pick up food here for a quick and easy dinner on the nights we go to the gym.

chicken bowl

Came here Tuesday for lunch. Had the lunch special: 2 small chicken bowls, 2 side, and 2 drinks for $17. The chicken bowls were good but pretty small, I would have preferred to have. larger chicken bowl and no side. We had dumplings for our sides and they were okay, not much flavor. The food was fresh, but I would opt for larger portions. This place reminds me of Flame Broiler.

WaBa Bowl with Veggies + Avocado
Gje S.

All the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was very clean. Seating was blocked off; would assume so, due to Covid. The wait for my order was pleasant, as it didn't take long for the food to come out. I love the fact that they have an open kitchen so we can see how the food actually gets prepared - not pulling meat out of bags and microwaving. The food looked and tasted super fresh. I ordered the WaBa bowl (steak & chicken) with veggies and added avocado. Look at the size of these portions. I don't know how she closed the lid. I'm so full I can barely type this review. The owner seems to support local community activities, as I saw numerous plaques of gratitude from little league baseball teams. There was a photo and autograph from Tommy Lasorda framed too. How cool is that?

Curbside order. It shows on my app that the order was completed but they refused to bring it out to me.
Jocelyn A.

Extremely rude cashier woman over the phone would not bring me the curbside order that I purchased through the app. She claimed they no longer did it and gave me attitude about it. I ordered curbside from them a few weeks prior and they brought my order out with no issue. If it's no longer offered then make sure that the app shows it is not an option. In the mean time, you guys should honor what your guests paid for and not give attitude about it. Or at least be like I'm sorry we don't offer that anymore but I can do it for you this time since the app has not been updated. I've requested a refund and emailed the feedback support email provided on the website but haven't received anything. It's been a week. Y'all lost a customer.

I have had better food from other waba grills. Disappointing. In the photo you can see it looks like little rocks. I'm not sure from where they came from (I'm thinking they didn't clean the rice) but this shouldn't be in food. We shouldn't have to worry about chewing on something hard and potentially hurting our teeth while eating. Do better and serve quality food. I won't be ordering from this location again . I called to request a refund for my food since I didn't enjoy it. The manager said he would refund me. I will update when I get the refund to make sure they kept their word. Update: I received a message from Victor and he showed me proof that he refunded me. He also requested the picture I posted to my review so I sent it to him. I will change my review from 1 star to 3 stars because it was nice that Victor did this.

Combo bowl with pickled stuff dumped on top

My friend and I have this routine where we eat a teriyaki bowl for lunch on Monday. We've been doing this for years and years and years. Because of this we notice when a place takes a turn for the worse. First we were hooked on Flame Broiler but after awhile the locations near our work started serving gristly beef and chicken full of cartilage and gristle. Blech! So we moved on to Yogi's which was frickin' fantastic until a few months ago where they served us moldy food along with frozen wilted onions and raw sewage gasses. Even further back in time we used to frequent Happy Teriyaki and Super Teriyaki which also went the way of the crapper. Waba Grill is our new Teriyaki place along with Golden Bowl sprinkled in every once in awhile. They call their beef bowls "steak" bowls which I thought was gimmicky at first but there is definitely a high quality rich beefy taste to their meat which I think sets them apart from other teriyaki places. On my two visits the first one had some gristle but the second time had zero. Same with the chicken, had a bit of gristle but it was pretty good overall. Chicken was cooked perfectly without being dried out. The steamed veggies are your typical cabbage, carrots and broccoli. They also have pickled carrots and jalapenos to toss onto the bowl. The teriyaki sauce here tastes great and I love their hot sauce. Kimchi here is a rip off. For $1.80 you get this teeny tiny itty bitty single serving jar of it. It's definitely fermented in the jar though because when I opened the jar it made such a loud pop noise my friend and I both flew out of our seats. It tasted alright but not worth the price. So far so good. I enjoy this teriyaki place and will return! Hopefully they stay true to quality and do not start cutting corners like the competition does. My Yogi's Dukedom is up for grabs since I'll never step foot in there again.

Need somewhere reliable to go that's open late night and has consistently delicious food? Look no…read morefurther. What we ordered: Jellyfish salad ($24)- I've never had jellyfish before and it was such a pleasant experience. I loved the freshness of the warm veggies and the spiciness of the hot mustard dressing. The pieces of jellyfish and beef were warmly welcomed into my belly! I really liked the potato starch noodles in the middle too! Don't mistake them for the jellyfish pieces like I did. All of the different textures really brought this dish home. I'm still daydreaming about it days later. Spicy chicken & cheese ($18)- this came out on a sizzling plate-- the oohs and ahhs were audible. The chicken was so juicy and tender and the sauce was salty and sweet. Loved the heaping pile of melted cheese on top. This dish pairs perfectly with the tangy Cucumber Salad, so you need to order that too! Service here was great-- servers are attentive and friendly. Would come back again :)

We would definitely recommend this place! The shrimp dish was delicious crispy, flavorful, and…read moreprobably my favorite of the night. The chicken was also really good, and the spring rolls were a great addition. The drinks were definitely an experience! Super cute presentation and something fun and different to try! One thing we did notice was that the food seemed to have quite a bit of MSG or seasoning we felt very full and sleepy afterward so just something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to it. Aside from that, everything tasted great, the presentation was fun, and we'd definitely come back!

HANDS DOWNNNN MY NEW FAVORITE CHICKEN PLACE!!! To be fair I don't think I had a favorite as long as…read moreit was Korean style like bonchon, kyochon, bbq chicken etc were all about the same to me. BUT THIS ONE?? THIS IS DIFFERENT. The chicken is suuuuuper juicy tender like gushing out juice let me tell you. Not a single dry or over fried piece. You can also tell it's fresh chicken not something that's been fried and refried a million times. Also! The chicken is completely cooked while still being that juicy no sus looking bloody pieces here (yes yes I know it can be safe to eat, but I just don't enjoy that). AND!! The meat is so juicy and the skin is fried so crispy. Truly best of both worlds I had a great time. Also I will alwayssss prefer a dry rub over wet marinade AND THIS PLACE HAS IT DOWN SOOOOO GOOD!! They do variations of flavors so it's not just "Lemon Pepper" where sometimes it's just too sharp too sour for me (sorry wingstop) but "Lemon Pepper Curry" where now there's that savory flavor from the curry and is making everything more well rounded. Their seaweed flavor is also amazing (don't let the black color scare you) and tastes just like those fried seaweed snacks !!! Umami yes yes super good. The Lemon Pepper Curry ($1) and Gim ($3) add ons are super worth I promise. They even half the price when you order the flavored mixed so we paid 50 cents and $1.50 for the flavors. I cannot vouch for other flavors and next time I come back I will be getting these flavors again. And maybe just original fried because why not. The chicken is fried so good yknow?? Spicy Carbonara Tteokbokki ($17)-- Ok visually ngl they really threw me off with that broccoli so I had pretty low expectations like hmmm... interesting. BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD!! The dish and also surprisingly the broccoli in it. It's not too sweet like how some places do their rose (or like the buldak carbonara) and instead it's savory and rich almost like pasta sauce? I dipped the chicken in this sauce like the sauce was 10/10 amazing. They give you a sauce and pickled radish when you order. Sauce was ok not bad, but I just liked dipping in tteokbokki sauce more. And you don't even really need the sauce because the skin is so flavorful. Parking is easy since there's a big lot. Definitely will be back!!!

tteokbokki was amazing, sauce was thick and delicious. the rice cakes were a bit on the chewier…read moreside but still tasted great. the chicken wings were also good, but the gim (black) ones are unfortunately just hard to eat. the taste is great but understandably the seaweed becomes tough when its fried so it becomes a very hard shell that made it difficult to enjoy the chicken. the jalapeno sauce and radish tasted really good as well so dont forget to ask for those. the bombok they sell at the front is also SUPER GOOD. its like chex mix baked in butter and sprinkled with furikake. its a bit pricey for 5.99 a bag but i would still say its worth it. we came at 5:30 on a saturday and it wasnt very busy. we got our food relatively fast and it was pretty quiet.
