    Let me tell you when your roommate has a craving for late night Asian style food and wanted to be healthy, this is where you go. I was so lucky I got the white meat bowl with white rice and five potstickers I only managed to save a bite for myself so I could tell you how delicious it actually was my roommate had to enjoy the rest but for less than $15 to get both an hors d'oeuvre and a main course? This is got to be the place to go the store was exceptionally clean and both people that work there were extremely helpful and very funny. !Hats off to this Waba Grill!!

    LOL! I'm never coming back to this Waba Grill. The meat portions are so small. I need more characters to post this.... The meat portions are so so so so so so so so so small.

    New location on Balsa Chica & Edinger

    This Waba Grill , Is located right next to 7-Eleven on Bolsa Chica St and Edinger Ave They opened before pandemic and it has adapted to the new covid-19 rules. Currently they have take out, delivery and outdoor seating for now. Like most restaurants, you can call in your order or you can always just walk in to order. We have been here several times and usually get the chicken bowl or salmon bowl. The chicken is tender and well, seasoned as well as a perfect individual bowl size. have been here several times and usually get the chicken bowl. The chicken is tender, welll seasoned and is the perfect individual size. We're to support local business and appreciate them as they' have been open during these difficult times.

    Steak bowl

    Got their steak bowl and it's my fav! The steak tastes like korean bulgogi and it's super fresh and tender! The flavoring in this bowl is on point! Would def rec this!

    I assume this is a local franchise owner. If so, you need to train your people better. I've watched this place being built, finally got my chance to go get the family dinner. Since it was my first time at a WaBa I had the audacity to ask a question. I thought it was simple but I got the tude. I asked "what's the difference between a plate and a bowl". The lady in the photo mumbled something towards the register while looking down. Keep in mind they are blasting music in the place. I told her I couldn't hear her and then she turned around and mumbled towards the menu board. I then said "I'm not understanding you over the music." I tried one more time and she answered "is that all?" with that I'm too good to speak up attitude. It's less about what she said and more about the attitude. Hard to explain in a review but you could tell right away she hates this job. I don't get it, why not try to make a good impression on the locals, perhaps even with a greeting and a smile? Seems easy enough. But no, instead you get an attitude. Look I get it, you hate your job, next time apply to work in the library basement.

    This was an unexpected pleasant experience…read more The restaurant is in a parking lot it shares with Albertson's Super Market. The sign on the outside doesn't stand out like it should. Maybe if the added more color to it would make it more visible. The inside was well designed. I liked it. It was relaxing. Very clean. The have a soda fountain machine for drinks and restrooms. Everything looked so fresh and delicious. Something made me feel like I stumbled in on a gem. The restaurant wasn't open but I accidentally walked in while they were setting up. The gentleman, Jose P, greeted me kindly and politely asked if he could get set up quickly and then assist me with my order. Extremely professional. The cook was busy prepping the meats for the day orders coming in since you can order ahead. Smelled so good. The set up is similar to Chipotle if you've ever been there. The difference between the two restaurants is that thos place is more intimate. Not so much like a military slope line at a cafeteria. The food looks fresher and premium. It is a type of, "pick and choose what you want in the burrito or burrito bowl," style of service. The price is competitive when comparing to Chipotle or even other burrito establishments. I got myself a regular breakfast burrito with my protein being sausage. It came with tater tots as the potatoes which I thought would be strange but ended up working extremely well the eggs cheese and Pico I had as my toppings. You can actually go wild with the toppings. I believe extra type of protein was about $1 or $2 more which I think is fair seeing how big a regular burrito was. Imagine the width of a Stanley Cup and the length of an iPhone and a half. This was a large burrito even though they called it regular. They do have a small burrito as well. The had two types of salsa: medium and hot. I went with the medium which I thought added an additional tasty flavor. Perfection. My total for the breakfast burrito was $14 with tax. I joined their rewards program while paying which was convenient and fast to sign up. Definitely a place I will go to again when in the neighborhood.

They have burgers, hot dogs, fries, but they also have all day breakfast so they have loaded tots, breakfast burritos, bowls, tortas, BUILD YOUR OWN!!! It was my first time here and I got the Supremium carne asada burrito and it was delicious, although a bit pricier than what I'm used to at $19. It comes with everything I love in a burrito, but I've very tempted by their loaded nachos or tater tots for my next visit. S E R V I C E The gentleman there were very nice. Even though I ordered a preset burrito they confirmed the ingredients with me and asked me if I wanted to make any modifications. L O C A T I O N At the corner of Heil and Bolsa Chica by Savons and next to a shaved ice shop. Very easy to find and plenty of parking available.

    ALERT: BUG IN MY DEL TACO FOOD…read more I went to this. Del Taco on Warner Ave. yesterday (which I've frequented for years) and found (what I think is) a cricket in my Epic burrito! But the almost more mind blowing experience I had was how that Del Taco dealt with the situation. I find the bug (had bought the food via drive thru), go back in to alert them of what happened, and this is what ensued: Me: "look at what I found in my burrito." Female manager (whose name I won't say, but she's the usual manager on staff there): "what is that?!" Me: "I don't know. That's what I was hoping maybe you could tell me. What happened here that this got into the food?" Manager: says nothing in reply, but wraps up the burrito and chucks it into the small wastebasket behind her and curtly ask me, "do you want me to remake it or do you want a refund?!" Me: "uhh, a refund; I don't want another burrito made for me from the same supply that that one just came from." Manager: says nothing more; takes my receipt which I had brought back in with me, and does her thing on the register. She proceeds NOT to give me a full refund, but refunds only the one burrito, telling me, "your refund amount is $7.75. Do you want it in cash or on a card?" The original tender used was cash so I tell her cash. She puts the money on the counter, still says nothing more, and coldly does an about face and goes back to the assembly line for a short moment and then disappears into the back area. I stand there in disbelief (have three children with me who are asking if they'll give us a free drink or some donut holes --they're kids), and am just kind of processing the whole situation. The gravity and mis-handling of the whole thing hits me, and I catch a second wind. Me (to the only visible employee at this point, the guy handling the drive thru line): "you know what, can you get the manager back out here?" Me (once manager returns): "I gotta tell you, I'm pretty shocked at how you just handled this whole thing! I come to you with a disgusting bug in my food.; a bug!! This isn't a 'you put onions in my burrito when I said no onions,' and this is way more egregious than even a hair. This is a dead insect in my burrito! And you act as if I'm inconveniencing you! You don't even have the decency to apologize or issue me a full refund, only a partial refund!" Manager: "I did say sorry. You must've not heard me." (Her piss poor attitude is starting to make a 180 degree turn around as she sees that I'm now pissed and calling her on her audacity.) Me: "No, you never once uttered the word sorry or any sort of apology (I was on weighted breath listening for one), expressed zero shock, as though I'm the seventh person today with this complaint, and you made no effort to ask what you could do to make up for this, made no effort to offer an explanation, whether you could perhaps offer something else from off the menu for the mishap, that you would investigate this and whether I wanted a call back from upper management--something along some professional and courteous lines--NOTHING! Maybe if this bug had been in YOUR mouth you'd be more upset or sympathetic!" To sum this up, after I pitched that mini-fit, she tells me how she WAS looking into it, that that's why she went back to the food trays to look at them (big whoop, she didn't do that as I stood there) and she then shows me some blue gloves that she had curled up in the palm of her hand--whatever that was supposed to mean to me. In her 180 degree attitude adjustment that I forced on her, she also started to offer me "something else from the menu." [Note: I reluctantly went ahead and asked for a strawberry shake and order of French fries because my girls were pushing for this. Had it been me, after that shameful altercation, I would've just left because it's the principle of the matter and I'd do the adult thing and leave with my dignity intact and not take their resentful handout, but I went ahead and appeased my children's cravings.] BE AWARE of what you're eating here at this Del Taco, folks. I know this location of theirs has been there forever and is practically an HB historical site, but that's irrelevant, as it's whoever is on staff and under what management the place is, that determines what you're going to get there, how much they're going to care and take their jobs seriously, and how you're going to get treated there any given day. For shame.
