    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
    E E.

    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.

    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.

    This is by far the best waba I've been to. It is always consistent with the way they cook their chicken and it's very good.

    We had an excellent experience from start to finish! Jane, our server, was amazing, friendly,…read moreattentive, and made us feel so welcome. The food was top-notch, and we'll definitely be back!

    I brought my Son and his friends here at DPLACE STEAK & PASTA in Fullerton with (Italian / Korean…read morecuisine). I've been wanting to go here ever since I saw a yelp friend post here. Whenever my Son goes out with his friends and I'm with them I'm 100% always Paying for everything so sometimes I'm the one to choose where for us to dine and this time I chose to go here at DPLACE restaurant. There's so many selections on their menu, all of us ordered our own Pasta and I ordered their sharable Big Meats. I chose for all of us to share since they are big plates of meats, so here is what we ordered: *OC GALBI KOREAN - Korean marinated bone-in SHORT RIBS, this came with Veggies, Salad, and Rice. *OC GALBI AMERICAN - Korean marinated bbq bone-in SHORT RIBS, this came with mexican street corn, french fries, kale slaw, and dinner rolls. *GRILLED MISO BOSSAM - (Marinated pork) *OCTOPUS SHRIMP CEVICHE *STREET EQUITES - mexican street corn *PITA BREAD *CARBONARA PASTA *PESCATORE PASTA -(Seafood pasta in red sauce) *MYUNG RAN NORI CREAM PASTA - (Seafood Pasta in white sauce) *LA CARNE PORK BELLY CREAM PASTA *MUSHROOM CREAM PASTA *SPICY GOCHUJANG RIGATONI *SALMON PASTA *LYCEE MOJITO Before my Son and his friends touched their food I sent one plate and passed it on to them so that they can put a small pasta on my plate so that I could taste each of them for my review. So far with all the Pastas I tried, everything is Delicious! The plating was big and a good portion for the price too. Most of the Pasta had a good amount of protein and it had a Toast bread too. Now for the Meat, that's the reason I came here, when I saw that they had these big plates of marinated meats I couldn't wait to go here. I ordered their sharable GALBI KOREAN, GALBI AMERICAN, and GRILLED MISO BOSSAM, these 3 PLATES full of MARINATED MEATS are a lot, like a really good portion, these plates of meats are delightful, delicious, and very tasty! I told my Son that we will be coming back here to this restaurant if we are in the area, which we for sure will be 'coz the Theme Park (Knott's Berry Farm) that we go is not that far of a drive from here. Whenever they want to dine here my answer will always be YES! My drink, the LYCHEE MOJITO, was so delicious and refreshing. Our APPETIZERS, the OCTOPUS SHRIMP CEVICHE & the order of MEXICAN STREET CORN, were both good too. We didn't make it to dessert, even though we wanted to 'coz our Stomach was so packed already :) Our original server came often when she is waiting to get our orders, but after that we barely saw her and needed to flag her often for our drink refills or what else we might need in the table , gladly another server ARIAH (I hope I got your name right) She became the one that always assisted us on what we might need after she saw us having to find our server. Server ARIAH had eyeglasses and an earring on her lips, so I hope I really got her name correct 'coz Ariah shes Super nice and very helpful to our table For Parking, even though there are a lot of small restaurants nearby and a Starbucks across, there's still plenty of Parking around. We really enjoyed dining here. It's definitely going to be our spot to dine in when we are in the area again.

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.

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!

Aside from that, everything tasted great, the presentation was fun, and we'd definitely come back!
