1. The spicy sauce on the chicken was delicious, and it came with a lot of rice! You can use the leftover rice to eat with your dumplings! 2. The spot has fast casual vibes! It has a cozy interior! 3. There are only indoor seatings! Good number of tables! 4. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It took less than 10 mins! 5. Parking lot is huge, so it is easy to find parking! Spots are double-lines and not compact! Note: There is a restroom available for customers! Photo: Dumplings and Spicy Chicken Rice Bowl read more

I have been to waba grill before, but this is my first time coming here. The best part about this is that they accept EBT here. Today, I went here with my boyfriend & both of us got the chicken & steak. My boyfriend loved his bowl & I love my bowl as well. Chicken was moist, soft, and good texture and steak was soft, easy to chew; and great flavors. We both would rate our bowl a 5/5 since we both had it before. They also have their own condiment bar with pickled carrots & jalapeños, green onions, waba sauce, and hot sauce. They also have their own soda foundation as well so that you can refill your drinks on the go when dining in. The service was fast & employee is very nice and friendly. There is plenty of parking. The store has a great atmosphere, spacious, and clean. I would definitely come back here if I want a healthy meal. read more

Sad day for Waba Grill. Came here yesterday to pick up a to go Waba Bowl extremely hungry. I get home excited to eat a delicious bowl to be greeted with what looks like sad leftover scraps. I kid you not, I did not touch the bowl in the image I shared. On the other hand, here is a bowl I had today from a place called Garden Teriyaki which I highly recommend if you want an affordable teriyaki bowl that doesn't cheat you on portions. Look at the difference! STARK CONTRAST. Price is similar too. I won't be returning to Waba grill until there are some changes made because this is ridiculous. These bowls aren't inexpensive by any means and on top of that they laugh at us by skimping out on the protein. Edit: after looking at previous reviews of this franchise it looks like this has been an on going issue. How do you not fix the problem after so many complaints! This store needs to close ASAP. read more

This rating is mainly for the customer service and nice maintenance of the restaurant. One of the employees named Maribel was so sweet, helpful and accommodating. She definitely made my experience dining there great. The restaurant itself is clean and comfortable to dine in. As for the food, it is fresh, clean and healthy however the flavor could be better. I ordered the jumbo shrimp with veggies. Since the food is kind of bland, the self serve sauces and pickled carrots & jalapenos help to enhance the food. I would say the food here is pretty average however, it's expected since it's meant to be healthy. Overall, I recommend coming here if you are working towards being healthy. read more

Literally the worst portion of meat I have ever recieved. Took me 4 bites of meat and rice before I was just left with rice. This isn't my first time receiving such miniature portions, as it's happened before. I vowed to never come back after repeatedly being dissatisfied with the portions but my friend was the one who picked it up, not knowing he was going to this Waba. I'm surprised they even have customers at this location. It's beyond ridiculous to pay $25 for two bowls for a few bites of meat and the rest rice. Never again read more

Update: it's still not good as they managed to not only be unprofessional, but like other reviews have mentioned they skimp out on portions for the protein. I bought a chicken bowl last week and only the top layer had chicken. Everything else was rice. That's 95% rice to 5% chicken for you math people out there. What a rip off. Other locations don't practice this scam. If I could give a negative star review I would. read more

I just left a few minutes ago and I was disappointed with one of the workers. A cashier was on her break and got yelled at by the cook who I am assuming is the manager to leave her break and help (that's illegal). That wasn't the problem but the manager had a costumer go and knock the table that the cashier was sitting at to get her attention. Then she goes on to raise her voice at the other cashier saying that she never makes mistakes and that she is tired of both cashiers. The whole time that I was here she was yelling. This is so sad, my wife and I always come to this location but we will stop coming. Treat your employees with respect! read more

I like WaBa Grill they have offered tofu as an option for quite some time and in a pinch they are a great option. The tofu was always a little bland so you had to add WaBa sauce to get flavor and I don't even want to know the sodium content there - lol. I was hungry and tired and didn't feel like cooking for the family so I decided it was time to try the new plant based bowl. Ok, this was so good, again I don't want to know about sodium because I am hooked on the WaBa sauce. Customer Service is not always great and the store has been messy at times. Customers are not capable of putting condiments in little cups and not make a mess and when they don't have enough staff this can build up. read more

I've been to this Waba Grill the most of any of these businesses and so must say, it is pretty solid here. However, one visit I had not too long ago kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. One of the workers began talking about how she hated her job and wanted to quit, and she began talking to me in a disturbingly passionate way. I felt like leaving but I wanted to be nice and enjoy my meal inside like I normally do. Through my meal, she would make her rounds and make small conversation every now and then, and I don't know.... maybe she had a lot to get off her chest, but I definitely wasn't the person for that. I'm pretty sure there are professionals for that, and Im definitely not one of them. I just wanted to eat in peace... read more

Came here the other night cuz I was craving Mos 2 / Flame Broiler but this was the closest and it was late. I was hoping this place would be better than Flame Broiler cuz the photos on the signs inside looked promising and states that they don't grill your chicken/meat until you order it. Something like that. I ordered the chicken plate that comes with a salad and piece of orange. The portion was pretty small for the price. When I opened the lid I immediately smelled how gamey the chicken was and I was so turned off. The white rice was also too hard. I have no idea why their chicken is like that-was it because the meat is old? Is that the norm? The chicken also doesn't have that "grilled" taste/smell or look like Mos2/Flame Broiler. I really wanted to like my food cuz it's so close by and convenient. I might give it another try but if the chicken is GAMEY again I will never come back. What I liked was you could self serve all the green onions you want. That's the only good thing I liked. read more

I heard slamming in the back God Know what was going on back there... someone on her break had to get up and take my order. Got my order completely wrong! I asked for all white meat and no sauce They gave me the complete opposite. All Dark Meat and Full of Sauce!! They had to recook white meat because that was all that was left. I had to ask for FULL REFUND because I can Not trust chicken being cooked in a rush!

I frequent this restaurant often and have never been denied service before 10pm. Restaurant listed to close at 10pm on store front and Google Maps. Arrived at 9:27pm to a garbage bin baracading the entrance with OPEN lights on. Upon opening the door and squeezing past the garbage bin, an employee mopping the back, with her back towards me, frustratingly shouts "We Are Closed" in an aggressive tone as if annoyed by my entrance. I replied I was under the impression they close at 10pm, sign says 10pm. The employee rudely continued mopping and ignored me. I had planned my evening around this venue based on location and hours and I was rudely denied service before the listed closing hours. It was a big inconvenience for my dietary goals for the day and very confusing why they closed early. It was raining this evening, perhaps manager called an audible to close up early. An rude inconvenience nonetheless from an establishment I have NEVER had issues with in the past read more

Healthy fast food sold here. We go out to dinner most every Thursday after our yoga class. Last night we were too cold, hungry and tired to go out. We opted for some take out. We decided to try Waba Grill. Located immediately West of PetSmart and east of Ross at Chapman the Brookhurst plaza near the Regal theatre. There is ample parking. The place was empty Thurs at 1850. While I ordered and waited, three sets of customers arrived. They also ordered food to go. Customer service is good. Respectful and unintrusive My husband ordered a steak/ chicken rice bowl which he enjoyed. I had the vegetable chicken rice bowl. We are pleased to have brown rice as an option. They also have kale salads. There are sliced green onions, jalapeño and carport slices in a vinegary bath and extra sauces on the side. The piece de resistance is FREE delivery for orders of $20 or more. I am impressed. We will be requesting delivery in the future. read more

Should have just went to Panda!! But decided to come here cuz of the alerts I've been getting from the waba app! So I go to order thru the app so I can take advantage of the deals & rewards and first red flag is that NONE of the rewards worked even though my order was over $25!! Second red flag was when I went to the waba favorites, I ordered 2 waba bowl's which I assumed comes with veggies but NOPE!! They don't come with veggies nor is there an option to add them!! There's no area for notes either. So good thing I asked about the veggies cuz that's when she told me there wasn't any on the bowls!! Sooo when you order in store, you can add veggies for $1 so then after all this confusion, they charge me an extra $3 for two MINI veggies!! I shouldn't have had to pay for them at all-let alone have to pay more for them!! The App sucks! Won't be coming back here anymore read more

My friend wanted this place for lunch, so I came in and was kinda disappointed when I found put they havr a fixed combination. I was fine with getting just one whole portion. I ordered the salmon plate which looks really good. I only have one major complaint is the salmon. I know that its supposed to be grilled, I'm fine with that but maybe they over grilled it a little. Since when I take a bite, it seems I'm chewing way too much ashes. I really would prefer if they lessen the grilling instead of the taste of charcoal, ashes, smoked, or burned. The brown rice and salad taste really good and nice. Maybe next time I will try the fixed portions and see how it is. I hope they will expand their menu choices and maybe be flexible with the combination plates. They can charge a little more. That would be fine, but more choices instead of fixed beef and chicken only. read more

Chicken quesadilla: 7/10 the chicken was flavorful and the quesadilla itself was good but it barely had any cheese. I literally paid for extra cheese.

Super yummy food with great customer service! The food is delicious because I keep coming back. However, one employee treats their sauce like it's gold. I always got sauce for free to go and then all of a sudden he decided he wanted to start charging me. Sometimes I get charged, and sometimes I don't. It's very frustrating because they only except cash. There was a female employee that used to work there during the day. I haven't seen her for a while, but I wish she would come back. She was awesome!!!

I've been telling my family about this place for years and finally we made plans for dinner to come…read morehere. We got here on Friday night 4/3/26 around 5:30pm. All the tables were full and there was one party of 11 just ahead of us. Our wait for a table was like 30 minutes or so. Once we were up we were guided to a table towards the back for five. Our server asked if we been here before and if we wanted anything else besides water to drink. My brother and his fiance split a full order of the beef ribs and side order of sauteed garlic green beans. My mom and step dad split a full order of beef ribs while I ordered a full rack of baby back ribs which came with two side orders. I picked coleslaw and onion rings which I shared with the family. The food came out promptly. Everyone enjoyed their food. The baby back ribs were moist with flavor, smoked and went well with their bbq sauce. The rest of the family really like their beef ribs. And they even commented that it was better than the other bbq places we been to. Definitely will return and highly recommend.

*** SCAM ALERT *** I…read moredon't use the word "SCAM" lightly, but that's what this was. My adult son called in a $281.62 order off the menu for Mother's Day. They would not accept the order or payment over the phone because the order was "too big." They asked that someone go there and pay up front for the entire order. Since it was the evening before Mother's Day, I drove to them and paid for the order. Yes, I was also presented with a minumum 20% TIP screen, which I declined. When I got there at pickup time (4:00pm) on Mother's Day, the price changed to $325.51. I was told that, for some reason, they had cut about 50% larger portions than the menu specified (see the line items, which should have been 1 lb. each), so they charged me for the difference ($325.51 - $281.62) which was $43.89 (about 50% more for the 2 items they cut heavier). No, there was no mention when I placed the order that the total cost might change due to extra meat. Neither is it shown on their web site or printed menus. When I protested, there was no option. If I don't pay the $43.89 difference, I don't get the Mother's Day food. After about 20 minutes of bickering at the counter with two different clerks (note the time stamp differences on the credit card slips), I was given my original order, with a net price reduction of ($281.62 - $254.93) $26.69. My persistence had paid off. On a positive note, the cook did, twice, walk up to me and quietly apologize for what was going on. I know many folks would have folded in this situation, but that's not my nature. I don't stand for dishonesty. Yes, it was embarrassing, other clients in line were not happy (I let them skip ahead of me so as not to inconvenience them). None of them had price increases. I don't know if the clerks wanted a tip because the management doesn't pay them much, or it this goes deeper and is standard operating procedure that assumes most clients will simply approve of the overage and pay up. In any case, from this client's point of view, this is a SCAM! When it was all over, I took my 11 and 12 year old grandsons (who had been sitting patiently waiting for grandpa to pay) and my food package to the car, drove home and proudly presented the meat to my family. After all, I am a hunter-gatherer; and the food was great!

I was siting in the their parking lot at 9:30am waiting for one of the other restaurants to open…read morewhen I saw the word QUESADILLA. "What?" I asked myself. A Vietnamese sandwich shop serving quesadillas? I sat...I yelped it...I love quesadillas. Walked in and ordered the pork quesadillas. Service was straightforward, no cute happy 25 year old just the boss taking orders. 8 minutes and $8 dollar spent, I had my hot breakfast. The smell was irresistible. Got in my car, opened it up, took a bite. Yep, it was fantastic! Think high end meats, grilled with a touch of lemon grass, sugar, sauce, with old school Mexican cooking techniques and every bite a flavor bomb. The quesadilla wasn't huge, maybe 10 inches. But, 10 inches were filled all the way to the edges with cheese and pork. You know how you get a quesadilla and the outer inch has nothing. Well, not here. They add a crust of parm cheese on the entire outside, so you get the crispy cheesy crust in every bite. Did I mention it's $8! Yes sir, you are on my cravings list and I will see your hot, crispy, flavorful round face in my face soon.

Both sandwiches were absolutely delicious, with the pork slightly sweet and the beef one laden with grilled onions. We ordered them both "hot" level of spicy, and it was sooooo good. Perfect but not overwhelming for people who have a solid spiciness threshold. The baguettes came nicely roasted and had a nice crunchy crust. My beef sandwich got a little soggy as we didn't get to eat them right away, soaking up the juice/grease from the meat and toppings but the flavor was drool worthy. We will absolutely be back.

Stayed nearby at the Residence Inn for a family trip to Disneyland and wasn't feeling the fast food…read morefare near the hotel. Did some quick yelp research and found this spot. It was walkable, but a little bit of a trek. 100% worth it. Staff was super friendly and helped us figure out what to order (parents weren't sure whether they wanted Mexican or burgers). We ended up getting the Bulgogi burger, a bacon cheeseburger, some onion rings, and a carne asada fry. Ok. The food doesn't photograph well for your instagram, but it's delicious. Lemme tell ya - after an early morning of flying, we inhaled this food. Would absolutely come back. Was good enough that we're considering skipping dinner at the park The inside of the restaurant is clean and has a good mix of table sizes for everyone. Saw a table near us order the chicken teriyaki plate and it looked delicious as well. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.

I hadn't heard of Apollo Burger until today, and I'm shocked it's taken me so long to hear about…read morethis place! Apollo Burger is located off Chapman in the intersection of Garden Grove, Orange, and Anaheim (technically Garden Grove though). There's plenty of parking, but it can get crowded when the lunch or dinner rush hits. The interior has a bunch of seating, and the restaurant is very bright and clean. The staff were all super friendly, and everything was made fresh and quickly. I got a bacon cheeseburger and a cheeseburger (sub mayo, add pickles and onions), and both were exactly what you'd look for in an old school, diner-type burger. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors were all great. I also got a chocolate shake which I would venture to say was one of the best chocolate shakes I've had in recent memory. I tried the grilled chicken sandwich as well, but unfortunately that was quite dry as they used pieces of chicken vs a full cutlet, so I would recommend avoiding that. This is a great burger joint in OC, and I absolutely plan to come back. If you're in the mood for a diner burger, this place is absolutely the spot to visit.

Koko's is a staple restaurant in this area for casual drinking vibes and consistently good food…read more Everything here is made to be good with a beer and some soju. We got the 8pc fried Pepper Soy wings and the Large Dubboki with cheese. The wings are always so good here. They're humongous, crispy, and sauced to perfection. The Pepper Soy flavor was so yummy and umami. The trick is to get the dubboki so that you can dip the chicken in the sauce. The rice cakes are soft, and the sauce is sweet and spicy. The table also gets sat with a free side salad and pickled radishes, which is a great way to cut the richness of everything. A bite of chicken, a sip of beer, some rice cakes, and a bite of cold radishes really makes the night. Come out to Koko's for a drink, some eats, and a good casual time.

This used to be one of my favorite spots, so it honestly makes me sad to write this…read more They've made a few changes to the menu and pricing. The dukbokki can only have ramen when it's a large. On top of that, cheese is now $4 extra and ramen is $3, which feels a bit steep for add-ons. They also changed the salad sauce--it used to be more on the sweeter side, but now it leans spicier (around a 3/10 spice level, still good), which may or may not be your preference. The biggest issue, though, was the food safety concern. Our order included 8 pieces of fried chicken (4 drumsticks and 4 wings). The drumsticks were fully cooked and fine. However, the first wing piece I bit into was clearly undercooked. Because of that, we did not continue eating the remaining wings--the other three were set aside and later on, discarded into the small trash bin they keep at the table. When I brought it to the staff's attention, they told me the redness was from bone marrow due to a broken bone and that the chicken was fully cooked. However, the bone only broke because I bit into it, and the meat itself was visibly pink. Not just near the bone where bone marrow would be. The actual MEAT was red and pink all throughout. This was not just "marrow." Even zooming into the picture, you can see the meat on both the plate and in my hand was still red and pink. Additionally, the remaining wings were only visually checked by the waiter and were not opened or inspected internally, which would not confirm whether they were fully cooked. This is concerning, as a visual check alone doesn't accurately assess doneness. It also concerns me that, despite not being present, the owner claims his servers point of view as factual, including the claim that all the wings were eaten, which is not accurate. We did not consume the remaining wings after the first one I bit into. Unfortunately, there was no apology from my perspective, simply an "explanation" stating it was bone marrow. And the situation wasn't handled with much concern. I ended up feeling sick and had to go to the bathroom to throw up, which completely ruined the rest of the experience. Overall, I'm really disappointed. Between the price changes, the food safety issue, and the owner's response focusing more on defending the situation rather than acknowledging the concern, I don't feel comfortable coming back.
