Today was my first time EVER trying Waba Grill. I am blown away by the level of professionalism and service both Amy and Eder provided me today. They were both extremely helpful as they educated me about the best possible dinner options to feed my family and I. Thank you Amy and Eder for an excellent customer service experience! read more

We stopped in 15 minutes before closing. I usually don't like to go in a food place 15 minutes before closing, but really we had some issues that kept us from coming earlier. We walked in and started discussing what we wanted and were told that all they had was plain chicken bowls. There was nothing else available--no veggies and no dumplings. I had hoped there would be more than one item available since they really were still open. But we were hungry and tired and said it was okay that we would take two chicken bowls. The chicken bowls were good. The chicken had a really nice flavor and you can't go wrong with the waba sauce. I don't ever care one way or the other for rice, and the rice was fine. I feel very torn about places that shut everything down before closing time. I do understand they want to start clean up early and get out. I'm sure I would feel the same way. But I also think if a place is open, then it should be open, not just open a little bit. I will say the guy at the counter was really very nice and apologetic about only having one item available. read more

They barely put any chicken or meat in the bowls now I think Corporate needs to do a follow up on the store branch and Work on portion size. The customer in front of me had the same complaint read more

Just go to Panda Express and get there teriyaki chicken...not only do you get significantly more chicken in your bowl/plate. and they marinate their chicken unlike Waba Grill. Very disappointed in my chicken and rice bowl 1/5 read more

This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've had, and you need to be aware of what's happening inside your business. The food was unacceptable--served cold despite being "freshly made," which tells me there is a serious lack of focus and quality control in your kitchen. Watching your staff on their phones, distracted and careless, made it very clear why orders are being mishandled. What was even more disappointing was the attitude. When a customer says "thank you," the appropriate response is professionalism--not eye-rolling and disrespect. That behavior reflects directly on your leadership and the standards you tolerate. If members of your team don't want to be there, they should be replaced with people who take pride in their work and respect the customers who keep your doors open. Based on this experience, I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend your establishment to anyone. I hope you take this seriously, because what's happening right now is damaging your reputation and costing you business. read more

Always come here, food is always good and service is good as well. It is close to where I live.

TERRIBLE!! walked in 15 minutes before closing and the young lady with black hair working in the front complained out loud about me being there to her boyfriend sitting in the front- Not only did the young lady complain, but also the cook rolled his eyes and made a comment. The only reason I came late is because my pregnant wife was craving WaBa. Late or not- 15min before closing is still OPEN, otherwise lock the door if you don't want any customers coming in. Absolutely terrible customer service- never coming back to this location and I would not recommend it to anyone. They rushed making my food and hardly gave me any steak. It took her two seconds to throw my $15 leftovers in a bowl and tell me to get out with her attitude. No cares at all. terrible absolutely terrible. If I could rate this place 0 stars- I would. read more

WaBa that for lunch? https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gwZ8towI3tzgIJ1joVWbmA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Buy One, Get One Chicken Bowl promo Free dumplings w/ first order from the app *Social Distancing review* Never wasting a good promo when I see one, WaBa Grill takes the place of a forgotten & short-lived teriyaki place. Similar to Flame Broiler, complete with skinless chicken (because that's supposedly "healthier"), I knew what to expect prior to ordering a chicken bowl. Chicken bowl- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=JDSP4gEbWb2tNLKgQ9VsyA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Diced, white meat chicken over a bed of white rice, with a slathering of the signature WaBa sauce. On the bright side, the bowl will fill you up. However, coming from a big Yoshinoya fan, the WaBa sauce is required to add flavor tootherwise dry cuts of meat. The rice was fluffy, though. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=zhYmsAEj6FzNbFAwD8V1pQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. On my first visit, I ordered in person. The second, I ordered via the app, both with minimal wait. Parking is via a small private lot, shared by Popeye's Chicken. More available at the adjacent Food 4 Less lot. To-go & delivery are the only available options, due to current events. Maybe if I paid extra for the ribeye, wild caught salmon or shrimp (tofu available, too), the term "meh" wouldn't have popped into my head while eating WaBa Grill's chicken bowl. Fat is flavor, and is good for you. The chicken bowl does provide calories & a substantial meal, but without a promo available, I don't think I'd be a frequent customer. read more

See all

Great customer service not to mention FAST !! And everyone down to the manager is soooo friendly and that's a FIRST from waba KEEP IT UP GUYS !! read more

Young lady didn't care about service. Pretty much just what so you want. No greeting. But I guess for Waba Grill who cares right??? Just an FYI I guess there are other locations that care. read more

Did management change recently? The chicken was so good and the staff was friendly today. That's a first! read more

I'm regret spending my money on food. Been sick for a month. Was craving something good after being sick for a month. Disgusting old rice dry and crunchy. Dumplings cold and tasted old. Steak as just pieces of randomness and gristle with no flavor. I spent $30 for my son and I and I am so disappointed. I haven't really eaten this month and when I did I get food like this? Despicable I should have just ate cereal or made my own rice. Big fail!!! read more

WaBa Grill - Dried crunchy old rice - Fast Food Near Me - Hawaiian Gardens, California

The only reason why I gave two stars is because I truly enjoy the food But I'm just so disappointed in the fact that I had ordered online & chose the curbside option & the establishment didn't answer the phone & called five times.. It wasn't even busy @ the time I arrived. If you're going to have the curbside pick up option please have your employees be attentive when the phone rings. read more

Always an amazing experience here! Quick service, friendly employees, great food! A nice quick teriyaki grab for those who want a healthy meal! read more

I've been coming here for quite some time and I can say I really enjoy all their food. The service is quick and good and they have a lot of options like tofu (which is chopped up and I like!) and also I usually get the beef bowl but lately the chicken bowl has been tasting better! I also love the miso soup, it's always hot! and the fact that they offer the loaded miso soup is great too! Definitely will continue to come here. read more

WaBa Grill - Chicken teriyaki bowl - Fast Food Near Me - Hawaiian Gardens, California

Great location , very clean. The only thing that got me was from the time I placed my order to getting my food the cashier went from taking peoples money , to cooking vegetables , and running his hands through his hair at least 6 times . Not sure if they are new to food service industry but customers do watch when there food is being made . I kept to myself because the guy actually putting my plate together was wearing a glove and handling his business . Presentation was good , food was hot and a good portion . Hygiene is key , hand washing ...especially in an open kitchen like your set up . read more

They got my order wrong, called in and was told they would replace it. Got to the store.. Gave me such a hard time, as if I was the one who messed things up. Didn't replace my original order.. Gave me a bowl instead of the plate I ordered originally. Manager needs to freshen up on his customer skills... Won't be getting my business anymore!! read more

I swear it doesn't matter what WaBa grill I go to they all over cook and the salmon. I eat salmon a lot and I know it's not suppose to be dry, but flaky. I tell them and I still get a hard piece of over cooked salmon. read more

I went to this place for the 1st time. Before, I wasn't a fan of any "fusion" style restaurant like this (and never visit one). Since my friend talks about it nicely, I decide to try his suggestion once. I ordered a Chicken and Steak plate to-go. No side sauce on purpose to test the flavors and textures. The steak part: very tasty. Flavorful and juicy. The included salad: tasty. If I know the salad is this good, I could've order an extra one to the side. The chicken part: on the light side in terms of flavors. Not that runny with sauce or too dry (like I would assume), but I think it'll be better if they sauce it a bit stronger. My conclusion: will come back here again, but probably for a Steak bowl/plate. read more

Food was good. Unfortunately the worker who was nice Jasmine had a friend from next door Popeyes hanging out. All I heard was cussing and loud talk. Not a dinner conversation after a long day at work They should have friends stay away not hang out read more

Closed early for super bowl? It's not a holiday... can't you watch the super bowl while you work since they have TVs just saying?

I used Yelp to look up the menu of this new WaBa Grill that is walking distance from my work and saw 3 not so favorable reviews. I've been to other locations so I wasn't really looking for reviews however seeing the low rating made me want to read them. Being a new establishment, it often takes time to get everything running smoothly so I didn't let the 1- Star rating deter me. I placed my order over the phone and the person taking was order was pleasant. I was told 7-10 minutes which was nice to hear because it was right in the middle of most people's lunch time & I expected it to take longer. I arrived about 8 min later, was greeted as I walked in, food was bagged & ready to go, cashier was friendly (his initials are MM per receipt) and told me to have a good day as I exited. Upon eating my lunch, our orders were accurate, food was a good temperature, bowls were FULL, chicken was moist... no issues. For all that I described above, I will give them a 5-Star rating in hopes of counteracting some of the negative reviews and wish others will give them a chance. read more

I have came here about 3 times and Mehran has been very helpful and informative since I have a specific eating diet and goes above and beyond with making sure everything is clean and filled. read more
