Show disappoint got 4 bowls of half chicken and beef for 58.00. And the chicken tasted so horrible. Taste it like the chicken was left in the fridge without any cover The chicken tasted like refrigerator. We all threw our food away because of disappointed we are afraid to go get our food remade but the chicken taste like fridge and rubber. We couldn't go back. read more

As I sit here wishing I had ordered an extra mini bowl last time, I realize how much this place does everything right: It's fresh, reasonably priced, consistent and delicious. Shrimp Boom Boom Tacos and Kimchi Edamame are my new favorites, but the bowls are the best. I used to think a good teriyaki bowl was always available around here, but that is no longer the case! Look no further than my former lunchtime staple California Bowl a mere 1 mile away (whose quality has so markedly diminished they should call it "Central California Bowl.") Their titular entree has been competently reclaimed by Waba's Chicken & Steak Veggie Bowl. Best of all, the service is friendly, the place is always being cleaned, and it's a pleasant respite from the chaos of Western. The kitchen is always in sight, it's spotless, and the grill action is always on point. I've never had an undercooked or too grisly piece of meat here. They don't get cranky if you order close to closing. More importantly, they wash their greens and it's nice to get a side salad that hasn't been sitting out all day. This is by far my favorite WaBa franchise, and a gem in the neighborhood. I do eat here about once a week, not a shill. I'm writing this because I want them to last a long time and hopefully they stay awesome, because losing a good Teriyaki Bowl place is a tragedy nobody should have to suffer. read more

Every time I go to this Waba Grill everything is fresh and super good. I normally ask for extra sauces and they accommodate me with no problem. It's pretty cozy to eat in if you would like. Thank you Waba! read more

Went Thursday night the cashier had the worst attitude ever! No customer service!! We see a roach tell her and we decide we don't want the food anymore and we would like a refund once again the cashier is giving the worst attitude. Never have I ever experienced service like this. I will not return. read more

Excellent kind service! Employees take pride in the food quality, presentation, preparation and cleanliness of the store. Picked up a bite at Waba Grill today. I was so pleasantly surprised, with the care taken to prepare and the presentation. It was so great and delicious. It was almost too pretty to eat... I quickly moved past that and was deliciously and delightfully yummy satisfied. Melrose and Western location!!! Maria and Fransico are awesome!!!! Beautiful and kind and they take great pride in their work!!!!! They made my day. Stop in. Give them a try enjoy! And let them make your day too!!!!! read more

I have never been here before I was trying to kill time because I was early for an all appointment so I decided to grab something to eat Gabby the server was very professional knowledgeable and very helpful and Aaron the chef all I can say perfect will have to do The area seems to be picking up parking was sufficient, and front of restaurant very clean. The ambience inside was nice and mellow would definitely come back. If I am in the area. I had the chicken steak bowl. Trixie had the salmon. Plate read more

HEALTH ALERT! We are sitting in The lounge ordering online when one of the staff drops a knife picks it up and continues to open a gallon jug of some sauce or is it into separate containers with lids on them and it's what they use to put on your order I wasn't gonna say anything but I definitely think it is a health hazard: suuuuper gross We come here several times a week.. definitely won't be coming back.. This is after one of the staff members who is typically quiet was rather rude. Gave it the benefit of the doubt bc it hadn't happened before, the place is usually very clean and staff is friendly. And if this gets back to the restaurant, you can check your cameras at 5:23pm in the front the kitchen. I'll see woman drops blue utensil- looks like maybe a knife, picks it up and resumes her duties with that SAME utensil. And salad was old and slimy... read more

Normally I don't expect too much from chains but at least from my experience here was pretty solid. The food looked pretty and I was there to check out that new avocado thingy that gives you like half an avocado. Service was fast and ordered via the app. Water was on the side so just ask for cups. Beside the sketch homeless people outside this location ain't bad haha read more

Nick is always really friendly and cares a lot to give good customer service! Food is bomb and I come here all the time.

I like the beef bowls better at the Yoshinoya restaurant because they're bigger than the ones at Waba grill and they taste better too

If you airline food and ambulance food had a child, this would be it. Food was utterly revolting. Tasted old, gelatinous and foul smelling. I take no pleasure in writing this, but it's my duty to warn would be customers. read more

Placed a delivery order through the Waba app at 8:30pm. This location closes at 10pm. There is no way to track deliveries so I called the restaurant at 9:15 pm to ask if the driver is in route. They informed me that they don't deliver. After a long awkward exchange it was revealed to me that Doordash handles their deliveries. I was told by the restaurant that there was nobody assigned to pick up my order. I asked him if he saw a dasher in his system that would pick up my order. He informed me that there was no one assigned to pick up my order. He said that he would call me back within 10 to 15 minutes and never did. I was charged for my order, never received my order, and they stopped answering their phone 15 minutes before closing. So now I have to call the restaurant tomorrow and get a refund for the food I never received. Very bad customer service. I'll never order from this location again. This should have been handled this evening. They should have reached out to me before closing and offered a refund and possibly an apology for never receiving my food . read more

The lady made me touch a line divider very unsanitary i was ordered by the cashier to lay my stomach on a black string after i saw someone else lean on it very gross i put up the string which waba grill employees made me lean on, everyone in this neighborhood will be passing their germs through this rope i hope it ain't the rona virus i hope the city's health inspector notices and rectify this issue read more

One of the best Waba Grill I've ever been to In Hollywood!! Not only is the food always bomb AF..it's always fresh, the portions are right on spot, it's never skimpy. Lol They're super friendly and workers acknowledge customers when they walk in! I love coming here! The manager of this store is definitely doing something right!! Thumbs up!! read more

I guess I'm not the only one who the cashier (girl with tones of make up) gave and attitude about getting more sauce. She denied it and also didn't even gave me utensils or napkins. She stated it was health regulation. Really how do I suppose to eat my food. Horrible service from the cashier read more

This was a dirty location. half of the sofa options from the soda fountain where our of order , out of the few options that where I could see small black particles floating in the drink. The meat and chicken did not have the same consistency as other locations and tasted old . The floors and table where sticky . * Soda in picture is Sierra mist read more

I love the food but really hate the customer service. The cashier with red hair is so rude. She's the reason this will be my last time coming to this location read more

This place sucks!! Bad quality food, and very rude staff. DO NOT GO HERE!! Depressing atmosphere and the restroom was filthy. read more

I don't understand what all the negative hubbub is about. The staff has always treated me nice and the portions are always a good amount. I come here every other week to order my dad and I lunch. Our food is never cold, and the avocados they give me are always fresh (which is a huge plus). They also give jalapeños upon request and it just completes the entire meal. The girl with the red hair and glasses is always nice and attentive to detail. Thanks for great service! read more

This is by far the nicest wabba grill I've been too. This place is super clean. The food was so yummy! It didn't taste like the other wabba's ice been too. It was better. I wanted to use the restroom but it was busy and they offered me to use the men's room if I wanted. I was so surprised to see the men's room so spotless. Nothing like other restrooms I've seen. The young lady who took my order was so polite, sweet and professional. The young man who offered me the men's restroom was also great and was sweeping and mopping the whole time I was there . FAVORITE WABBA EVER! read more

Customer service is terrible, cashier literally told me how it could and couldn't have my bowl and then did not want to give me extra sauce for my bowls and when she did she barely put anything in the container...Just Horrible read more

Worst Waba grill I've ever been to... First off, the service Is poor. The lady who runs the register is rude and acts as if you're bothering them being there. She also prioritizes online and phone ordered over walk-in customers. Secondly, they barely put any sauce on their bowls, then when you ask for for sauce packets or sauce on the side, they want to charge $.35 per each.. This os the only waba I've been to who tried to charge for sauce. Avoid at all costs. read more

I came in to this Wabba and I literally waited about 15 minutes and the people after me got their order before me. The cashier with glasses and red hair was beyond rude. I seriously never been to a Wabba this bad. And it was beyond dirty with 4 people working and food and bathroom so dirty. And when I finally got it the girl said that she dropped it on accident which is Bull. Whoever manages this Wabba needs to go in and see how their place is being operated. read more

Rude cashier wiped her hand with a napkin and put dirty napkin on my food bag. Would recommend this place to anybody.

Worst service EVER! I'd pay anyone not to go here. That's how bad my service was from this girl. I walked out so angry, customer service was so horrible that she made me curse. I don't usually say things like this. But your a paying Costumer you expect a little service. To top it off, I spent $52 and I checked my bag that's from them on their counter near the window, she stated that I can't do that? Wait this bag came from you guys. I was checking if there are utensils? Worst experience ever another customer waiting outside stated that she was super rude. Surely he was right! Worse service ever, will never get my business Again! She needs to be thought a disciplinary action! read more

This is one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite. Everything is very well made with no fat, oil, and anything extra added. The flavors are solid and the teriyaki sauce is very well made. It also doesn't hurt that they have marinated carrots for free. The service is consistent across all the chains. read more

Came in to this WaBa Grill after my mother recommended it to me. I have to say I wasn't disappointed. I had the half chicken half beef with veggie bowl and added a side of avocado. The chicken and beef were very fresh, lean and charbroiled. The veggies were nice and crunchy topped with their great tasting teriyaki sauce and green onions. The dining area was clean and parking was easy. Staff was nice and greeted you immediately. I'll definitely be back for more. read more

Lunch rush? I get it, I don't expect to be helped right away and my much less expect my food te served quickly. But what frustrates me, is the person that orders AFTER me for their food before me. I got two bowls, why would I be served after him? So wrong. read more

After reading all the reviews im stunned that this spot has anything less then 5 stars. Every order is done right and above and beyond.

The food here is great, I recently tried the plant based steak thing, and it was quite delicious, much better than plant based meats at other restaurants that I had, it was rich with bold flavour, and the sauce ties in very well. The staff was very nice and friendly, the cashier, Jose provided great customer service and was the one to recommend the new menu item. The only con though is that their self serve fountain drinks was out of order. read more
