I've been going to this location for years. However, the last few times I've been here they have either forgotten items or made my meals wrong. Make sure you all check your orders before leaving. read more

Waba closes at 9:00 p.m..The other night my wife called at 8:30p.m. to order some dumpling.IThe lady on the phone told her they dont sell dumplings anymore.My wife told her that was B.S.because we had bought some there 2 days before and the lady told her they were cleaning up the kitchen.So my wife hung up on her.I dont understand why they say they're open till 9:00 if theyre not going to serve food till 9:00.we will never go there again which is a shame because the food is good but too many choices of places to eat to put up with that. read more

I'm so glad that there's a good, no great, teriyaki bowl place close to home (I'm looking at you, Flame Broiler). After a less than mediocre experience at the Flame Broiler (henceforth referred to as FB) down the street, I was excited to try the new kid on the block. Featuring a similar menu, I pretty much knew I'd like it. Unfortunately for my wallet, that was the understatement of the century! I. LOVE. WABA. GRILL. I started with my FB usual, the half and half combo with veggies, brown rice, and onions. The major difference I notice here was the steak. It's so much better than FB's. Sliced thin and marinated, it's tender and less salty than that other joint's. The chicken was just as good. The veggies and brown rice were plentiful, making the $9 pricetag (with a drink) well worth the healthy and delicious meal. I've had a habit of going 2-3 times a week since I first discovered Waba, intending to try the other bowl options but always finding my craving for the #18 too strong. By the way, the hot sauce, sriracha, and teriyaki are all great toppers. I like to mix my sriracha into my teriyaki and dump it all on top for a sweet and spicy kick. The other hot sauce adds a little heat and a nice kick of vinegar. My favorite addition, by far, are the toasted sesame seeds. How such a little seed adds so much is beyond me, but they're delicious. I finally brought myself to try the salmon veggie combo bowl. While my love for sushi knows no bounds, I'm still weary of cooked fish because of its tendency, at least in the past, to be fishy in taste (we all know that this is the obvious sign of it being not-so-fresh). Still, I was craving the salmon variation of my favorite bowl and feeling adventurous. Little did I know I'd be making my future trips to Waba that much tougher as a grappled between two bowls. The salmon was perfectly cooked and there was a generous amount on my bowl. I did feel that the rice and veggies were significantly less than that in the chicken/beef combo bowl. When I get the chicken/beef combo bowl, the meat is touching the lid. With the salmon bowl, the fish and avocado (yes, I succumbed to my avocado addiction) didn't touch at all. I was worried that it would be filling enough to warrant future $10 purchases (with drink), but I was proven wrong as the meal was perfectly filling. The major deciding factor here was customer service. Read anyone's review of the aflame Broiler down the street and you'll know that they take their jobs less than seriously. Waba is different. You're greeted almost instantaneously as you walk in. The employees, all of the ones I've met so far, are really friendly and helpful. They smile as they run through your order and as they hand it back out when it's ready, always with an, "Enjoy your meal! Thanks for stopping in!" They clearly know how to keep a customer coming back (again, I've become addicted and show up about 2-3 times a week). Bottom line: stellar food that's healthy paired with great service and a reasonable price rage means that I'll be coming back. Obviously. At the time of this review I'd been in ten times before I got back on Yelp to write a review. The proof is in the pudding. read more

I have been to this location plenty of times. I order white meat chicken every time and 95% of the time they give me dark meat and I either have to take it back or not eat it. Very disappointed with the service. It is very frustrating having this happen over and over again. read more

Easy to find, easy to read menu and great pricing! Had the #1 meal but after i paid i saw they had a 2 for 1 bowl teriyaki bowl special for $8.99!!! Steal in my opinion Food was hot looked and tasted great! Super clean eating area which we loved. Fast food doesnt always mean flavorless food. This place serves flavor. Rice was fluffy meat was cooked just right, and portions were perfect . self serve soda fountain was great too! Come check it out for lunch or dinner. Either way you will leave full and still have money in your pocket! Socals hidden gem read more

I called for pick up for two chicken bowls. The lady who answered on July 16 545pm took my order. When I got there I saw they had a special for two chicken bowls 10.98. I asked the lady in the counter who was wearing Red shirt, I'm assuming is the floor manager because she was the only one wearing a red shirt color then all black shirt crew. I asked her if I can get the special like the front sign said? She said "no because you have one with a veggie bowl". I replied," oh okay I see. So if you order a veggie bowl chicken you pay more with less meat?" She said with a laugh," Yes". I was pretty disappointed that she didn't offer me the deal on the phone or even tried to ask if I wanted to change the order so I can get the deal. so be careful when you order if you want the TWO CHICKEN BOWL DEAL. read more

Overall quality of the food was decent. Ordered the half-half bowl which consisted of beef and chicken. Also added half an avocado to the order (extra 1.60) The chicken was a bit towards the dry side and beef was way too salty for my taste. The staff is friendly and efficient and the location was very clean. read more

Okay.. so I know that one can't expect much from the people who are hired to work in fast food places such as Personality, Charisma but too much to ask for a smile? A trace of a Pulse? The cashier... NOT AS MUCH AS A CRACK in her face to make a smile. Not a drop of warmth or friendliness. VERY POOR JOB on managements part in hiring corpses! If you're going to hire dead people hire a few that are at least happy about being dead! read more

This is the best Waba out there! I love how they offer ample pickled veggies, onions, and sesame seeds seeds in the front where you can help yourself too (most Waba's don't even have sesame seeds, which makes it so much better!). Always friendly and quick service, as well as high quality meat and toppings. Highly recommend this Waba! read more

Normally have no issues. Josselyn took our order. Asked for extra sauce on the rice. She looked right at me and did not acknowledge I asked for this. Completely ignored my request and brought our order timely. Not sure how to process someone completely apathetic towards a customer request. read more

One of my favorite food places so good! They just started offering vegetarian versions of meat!

Definitely a fan of this place. The food always tastes good and is fresh. But the reason it gets such a positive review from me is because they don't make a big deal about subbing veggies for rice in any of their dishes. In fact, they advertise it. And because of that, I will continue to eat there regularly. read more

A lot of places like this are springing up all over the place, the typical rice and meat place with the option of getting brown rice and white meat chicken if you wish for optimal dietary healthiness. When compared to somewhere like the Flame Broiler, it stands out because they offer more selections than just beef and chicken, they also offer kalbi ribs, chicken salad, salmon, and shrimp. it's great that they offer a larger selection of food for anyone who would like to add variety to their diet. A bonus is that this location has two TVs and had a Clippers game playing when we visited, so that was a great addition to our dinner. I will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

I'm so disappointed, called in my order second time now I ask for white rice and I'm given brown rice I even asked that plz make sure my rib plate had white rice and I given brown rice. I guess they have decided for me to eat heathy. And that's why they get two stars read more

Love this fast (yet so healthy) food place. Always fresh, and delicious. This location always seems very busy. There is always a long wait time. ... but the wait is all worth it. read more

Just had some shrimp from here and that shit was disgusting. If I would have ate it I would have gotten sick. Don't order shrimp from here

Went last night for a steak and vege bowl, very delicious! I was a flame broiler fan for sometime now and think I have now been converted. Customer service wasn't bad or special, typical fast food joint, but store was very clean and pretty busy. Oh, nice that the game was on and free wifi while I waited for our food. read more

I find good variety here. All bowls contain at least rice and vegetables; when I started eating here, I'd buy the bowl without meat (the veggie bowl), but now I mostly purchase the tofu bowl. I've had the chicken here, which is pretty good. The ingredients taste fresh, the restaurant looks clean, and I've never been treated impolitely. My only critiques: it can feel cramped in here at 10-20 customers and noise from the kitchen is easy to hear. I recommend it, though. read more

I'm writing this review simply to shout out one of the workers, her name was Hilary and she was absolutely wonderful. I went into Waba today and it was busier than normal and I came in for a family meal and even though it was busy, she was the sweetest! And it's not the first time I've had her serve my order! She's a good one! Will continue to come back!! read more

Prompt service, and it's always consistently good. Is service absolutely stellar? No, but this isn't a fancy place. I go in to get good food and get out and that's exactly what I get every time. read more

We love waba and this location it's the Fresh one and tasty Best waba around....super clean, very friendly staff

Healthiest place in the world !! I love the chicken teriyaki salad . Customer service is fast and friendly . I enjoy everything in their menu . I always order for take-out. It's better to make a phone order . This place is always full of people at lunch hour . The location is so clean . The restrooms are very nice and clean . I recommend this location . read more

My wife and I just left there for a take out order for 2 chicken bowls and it rings up for $15 and change and my wife ask was its Tuesday isn't there a special the girls response is yes Lao wife asks why I'm I not getting the special price and the lady behind the counter said you did not ask for it and 1 of them has broccoli so we said ok we cancel the broccoli and she said no to late and mind you out food wasn't even ready yet. Then we said them charge us for a side of broccoli response is no. The customer service is terrible and I will not be going there any time soon I wish I got the lady's name cause I wouldn't have her work for me if she was the last person on earth read more

Came here on a Friday night 8:15pm. Clearly no one wanted to work tonight. Came in, no welcomes or smiles . They acted like they didn't see me waiting at the cashier. Female cashier poor customer service acted like she was in a rush to take my order . When my order number was ready they called my number and left 2 orders on the counter didn't know which one was mine gentleman probably not too happy on being there. Over all they had terrible customer service definitely would've asked what the hell was their problem and but I was with my daughter . Hope your manager sees this and isn't too happy . read more

Food was good service was bad. The cooks and everyone in the kitchen were all over the place. I waited 20 mins for my food and the cashier had an attitude problem. As I was observing her take everyone's order she kept on changing people's order. There was no structure at all.... But the food was great... I might not return to this waba grill but will def return to another one. read more

I love this place and sincerely because I've been to other Waba Grill stores and this one really wins out. The food is always prepared fresh and well, but what makes this location stand out is the customer service! Everyone is always friendly, and simple things like keeping the "fixings bar" clean, adding utensils, napkins, etc to the to-go bags and when they have down time EVERYONE is cleaning, sweeping, keeping busy!! I will always continue to patronize the places who pay attention to details. read more

I'm so glad to have found a good teriyaki place in Glendora! After a few experiences at Flame Broiler I tried Waba back in January and I'm never going back to Flame Broiler. At Waba, the employees are super nice and accommodating of substitutions, the menu's variety rocks, and the taste is so worth the price. I'm personally a fan of the half-half veggie bowl with no rice and an avocado. read more

5 stars because it's clean, has pretty good service for a fast food place, and they're always busy which means the food is fresh! Tried the kale salad today. It was "ok", lacked flavor. I'll probably stick with my chicken & veggie bowl next time. Not going to knock any stars because there was nothing wrong with it, just a matter of food preference.. Lol. read more

WaBa Grill - Kale salad with Chicken. - Fast Food Near Me - Glendora, California

I give this zero stars, for false advertising! We just came here and the sign says Sat 10 am - 10pm it's 9:20 pm and the doors we're locked and closed. We drove here just because we wanted their chicken bowl and we looked up the times before we got in the car. Terrible!!!! read more

I ordered the salmon plate and bowl and both filets were thin and burnt on the bottom (contains carcinogen). I specifically asked the cashier over the phone to not overcook the salmon but I guess they can do anything they want if the orders are to go. If I had dined in I would have had them redo my order. I will not be coming back to this location. I never had this problem at the West Covina location. Management please be consistent with your food and don't become cheap! read more

Very clean, super nice people there, and when I placed my order I specifically wanted my chicken cut in tiny pieces, and sure enough it was done. Food was very fresh and hot. read more

I ate a chicken veggie bowl for lunch today. The cashier (wearing glasses) had an attitude and wasn't very polite. She seemed like she didn't like working there or something. I don't know what went happened in the kitchen but I have thrown up 3 times since I got home and that was the last thing I ate. I think there was cross-contamination or something. I feel terrible and I won't be going there again! read more

Grateful that they are so helpful and provide good service and healthy food, honestly skip flam broiler and just hit up this place so much better! read more

First off, the food was tasty! Nicely grilled chicken, crispy veggies, and light on the sauce...all around an enjoyable meal (to-go order, by the way). The service, however, was awful!! Just a word of advice for all of you reading this: don't ask Josselyn more than than two questions because you will get an ATTITUDE...complete with eye rolls and all! There was nobody behind me, and only one other person eating in the restaurant - that's it! Maybe she was extremely busy and had other things to do? Whatever it was, I hope management reads this because you cannot afford to have this sort of customer service. This easily could have been a five-star review. read more

Yum. Meat is tender and trimmed of fat, spices are great. They offer an array of sauces (free!) for your bowl. Rice is cooked perfectly. No complaints! Love the beef :) read more

My husband and I used to like the food here but our last visit wasn't so nice. My husband ended up getting food poisoning. We will not return. read more

Good food. VERY clean. Nice cashiers. Just wish the radio wasn't so loud... I prefer the chicken over the steak... just because I found it to be less salty and more of a grilled flavor. The brown rice isn't hard, it's very good. Only down side is the loud radio... Maybe it's the acoustics due to the shape of the place. read more
