Food is always good so no complaints there. The service is better when the guys are working. They are always helpful and polite. The middle age Latina with the brown with blonde streaks is lazy. I tend to buy the waba sauce bottles for home but when she is working they magically don't have any bottles even though they are right there on the shelf. I guess pour liquid into thise bottles is to complex for her. You can tell she doesn't want to be there. This is NOT a one time occurrence either. read more

Staff is nice. I haven't been here in years and business decisions have certainly been made. A Waba Plate used to be a great meal. Now you hardly get anything: 3 kinda seared dumplings, a dozen pieces of greens, and a smear of rice with protein on top. Not only that, orange slices aren't gone anymore with the plates. Won't be coming back. read more

WaBa Grill - WaBa Chicken & Steak Plate - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's just a Waba Grill, and I normally don't review chain places, but what makes this one a little different is how stingy they are with their Waba sauces. Usually when I go, the dude has no problem hooking me up with an extra sauce or two, but the ladies, any of them, I swear, act like it comes out of their own personal stash when I ask for an extra sauce or two. They will literally fight me for it; it's just so weird. I mean, if I have to pay for it, then I guess I'm okay with that, depending on the price, but that's not even an offer; it's just a straight no or a "we can only give you one." Bro, Is just sauce what happened to the days Waba used to have the bottles out. So annoying. read more

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in WaBa Grill. I even had to send an email to corporate, which received no response btw. I placed an order online for a family meal for an easy week of meal prep... But that was me being ambitious. WaBa Grill has always been a dependable food joint for me, but today - I cannot fathom eating here again. The number one thing was the MEAT - they gave me burnt beef... *Please see photos*. That is straight up cancerous, am I suppose to consume that? The chicken was sorta edible, but y'all... C'MON. What is going on here??? I didn't get all of my sauces (garlic Serrano, spicy WaBa sauce; just got the regular WaBa sauce and hot sauce...) my veggies were just broccoli with no carrots and I don't even think it was the "family size" that I made a note of and paid extra for... Just overall horrible. read more

Avocado was added to my meal without me asking for it and I was charged $2.68. Cashier was not very fluent in English so this may have been the reason for confusion. There was also an unreasonably long wait time without the staff giving a heads up. read more

Horrible place. No clue what they're doing. these kids need to go back to training, so they know how to follow instructions when somebody is calling in an order. No customer service whatsoever. read more

I ordered food last night and they sent me wrong order. I called them the next day to see whats going on and the guy told me you have to call uber :)) and hang out and blocked my number from Waba grill. I hope you will see the massage brother .

Why are you always trying to pawn off your hot sauces when all you want is the Wawa sauce stop trying to hand me your half assed hot sauce. I don't want hot from you. I want the Waba grill sauce. Why are you so stingy on giving me out the sauce, but you're willing to put in all this crap in between That is not what I ordered. It's not what I wanted to taste and it's shit you give me all hot stuff when all I wanted was a couple packets of the Wawa sauce. Why are you so stingy with that sauce read more

Stacy was friendly, professional and very helpful. This location is always a go to when in the area!

Welcome to East Hollywood WaBa Grill.. Hopefully you meet the standard and stay in business longer than Flame boiler was at this location. The mini bowl special is ideal, a great full meal for under $10 Mini bowl spicy chicken with the green onions and Jalapeños is always good and the 5 little dumplings hit the spot! Thank you and Best Of Luck! read more

I suggest no one go to the Waba Grill on Vermont Avenue and Santa Monica Blvd. Just went for lunch and ordered my usual, which is the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Bowl. I had to wait for 25 minutes, almost half of my lunch hour. I then take it back to my job to eat and they barely gave me any of the sweet and spicy sauce. I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK TO THIS WABA EVER AGAIN!!!!!! read more

The quality tends to vary by location. This is the third or fourth one I've tried; it's neither the best nor worst of them (so far, for me). The staff is very pleasant here. Also, it's affordable. One plus is they're open on Sunday. Another is the proximity to a you-buy-they-fry seafood shop (next door south) that may increase your options if you or someone else in your party likes fish. My lunch buddy and I rate them 3.5 stars (which rounds up here because their open hours are good). Portions here are modest, which comports with their "healthy" theme. We would likely return (and maybe supplement with some fried fish). The WaBa sauce is basically teriyaki, and IMO it's good! read more

Service is bad here, they have a special here for " kids eat free on weekdays after 4pm and ALL DAY LONG ON WEEKENDS " I came one time on a Saturday afternoon and asked for the special given I was buying 2 bigger plates and I was told they don't have that special on weekends, really? The whole restaurant is promoting that special and yet you're going to tell me you don't have that special. Ok I ordered something else for my kids since he said no. 15 min later another family walks in and he gives them the special of the free kids bowl. Like are you kidding me? LOL it's always the same raza trying to f you over instead of helping each other out. I don't mind what I have to pay for food but when there's a special why not ask for it when that's why the company is giving that special, it's not like it's coming out of the employees pocket. False advertising lol read more

Busy location. This was actually my first time having WaBa Grill. I'm a frequent visitor at Flame Broiler, and I really don't think these 2 places differ much. The food, the taste, portions, etc are all about the same. I had the Waba Bowl with veggies and brown rice. Definitely a healthier, and quicker option than a lot of other places out there. Spacious, with seating indoors and a few table outside as well. Large parking lot, so find a parking space shouldn't be an issue. Conveniently located to LACC where I'm taking a class. Oh....and the female staff was super friendly. She was patient while I was trying to figure out what to order. read more

After a lengthy vacation I endured an equal period of recurring blahs. Looking over delivery options via DoorDash I stumbled across this healthy eating option. I had seen them around town but had never tried it. Especially intrigued how it measured up to Flame Broiler, which I like quite a bit. The veggies in the chicken/veggy bowl were firm not soggy. They provided only one packet of sauce. Guess I should have asked for more. Chicken was fully cooked if a bit bland. I also got some dumplings, which were delish and came with a zesty dipping sauce. Not quite as good as Flame Broiler but pretty good. read more

I got the ribeye meal. It was horrible. The meat smelled rotted and did not resemble a ribeyes at all. It stunk like cheap chuck roast. I couldn't eat it. The rice had these pressed pieces of uncooked rice. I will never eat here again. Overrated and horrible. read more

This fast food restaurant was terrible. Shame on the Franchisor and the Franchisee (if its privately owned). They barely and skillfully covered the rice with bare minimum meats. I know that for the same amount of money $8.30 plus soda drink of $2.39, you get lot more from the Yoshinoya, Chipotle, Panda Express, and any other cheap Chinese take out place. read more

WaBa Grill - Terrible Fast Food Francise - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Please be noted that this establishment is now PERMANENTLY CLOSED. Whaaaat? When did this happen? Yes folks they are now permanently as the sign states on their door read more

MUCH better than Yoshinoya ---------- Although this may not seem like much of a compliment, think about that for a second. This place offers bowls / plates of freshly grilled meats (beef, chicken, ribs, salmon), placed on a bed of soft, steamed rice and topped with freshly diced green onions. The beef and the ribs actually taste a bit like Korean Bulgogi and kalbee (which would not be all that surprising, since they are also offering kimchi). The veggie bowls come with flavorful and still-crunchy broccoli spears. On top of that, this place is clean and brightly lit. Plus, they have smartly offered a "house brand" hot sauce condiment on every table, which is basically a bottle of Lee Kum Kee hot sauce with their own label (don't worry, your secret is safe with me... And the millions of Yelpers out there) This place seems to be everything that Yoshinoya should be (or maybe used to be?) Worth coming back. read more

Just finished a hike at Griffith? On the go from work or school? Looking for a quick healthy option? Try Waba grill! Delicious healthy options when you're on the go. Short and simple. Just like their menu:salmon, steak and chicken. Granted I'm pretty sure the salmon is farm raised and the chicken isn't grass fed. So this wouldn't be a place for hardcore health nuts and food nazi. But for the lenient folk, this place is good. read more

Great Service at the Lancaster spot - Salvador is the man!!! Will always come back....

This is a sad and pathetic excuse for a Salmon bowl. Where's the Waba sauce? The salmon looks unappealing and almost inedible. I remember when the salmon bowl had veggies, sauce, and actually looked good. I don't even know what this is. I definitely overpaid for this. $9.29 +tax for this? On top of that they now keep the sauce behind the counter. I only received 3 packets for two Waba plates and a salmon bowl. On top of this, I asked for one Waba plate to have brown rice and I got a mix of white and brown rice. That is not okay. I wish I could give this place 0 stars but I have with 1 star. One thing is for sure, I'm NEVER returning to this establishment. read more

It's in Menifee,CA. Ordered mini bowl and was over charged .50 for changing rice to veggies instead. I said ok, turned out to be $1 more. After I got my food 10min later I asked about the extra .50 they said that's the way it is. I said ok that's fine, just give me hot sauce please. They said that's another .50. Lol. I just walked out. Won't go back. read more

For a quick lunch bite and those of you under a time crunch, this is a good stop. Don't expect a grass fed beef or cage free chicken all diced up for you - your going to lay around $9-$11 but it's healthy and perfect for on the go. There's no skin on the meat so that's a huge win. They also have salmon which is made to order so that's another plus unlike cafeterias. They now have spicy pork also. Cashiers are nice - they change often - most are young so prob due to school, etc but still pleasant and friendly. So, eat here if you're in a hurry or not, it's good. Btw: restrooms are clean too, at least it was during my visit. read more
