The chicken bowl was great. However I ordered extra chicken on my bowl with a small coke and paid $27.00 the prices here for food are out of control. Not worth it, too expensive for chicken and rice

It's Waba, it's close to work, it's good enough for lunch. Been away for a while due to Panda Inn maybe providing better value, but recently dipping back in to try to be healthier, kinda. Due to less crowd during lunch, I can order and prepare my sauces and get food and walk out in less than 3~5 mins, so this is my go to when I want to quickly be back in the office to eat hot food. Always feel there could be more protein on the plates or bowls, but it is what it is. Maybe just eating less of things is better for me anyway.

This is my second time at this location. I'm glad I spotted this bug in my food before I ate it. I guess they don't wash the Veggies thoroughly or maybe it landed while the Veggies were cooking. Either way, it's unacceptable. I won't be returning.

Food was soooooo delicious. Giving it a 4 star though because the portions were small

Me: Hi, I'd like to order a #3 please. Her: With onions? Me: No, no onions. Her: Ok a #2 no onions, pull up to the window! I knew I should've looked at my order. I know better. Maaaaan onions on everything. Even the orange. Y'all... And this is the third time this has happened to me. And the female manager on duty wouldn't apologize for crap. Unprofessional and apparently lacking in comprehension.

So disgusted with the avocado I was served!
Yajaira D.

I had 2 choices. Go to the grocery store and pick up something to cook or since I was hungry stop by Waba and grab a bite for my son and I. Well that was in fact a huge mistake! I asked for avocado on my Waba plate and safe to say it's the worst avocado I've ever paid for! I wonder if they themselves would have ate this because it was ok to serve it. At first glance it looked like worms but clearly it's a rotten avocado.

More meat for less cost.

Fuku - Kids' chicken tenders and fries meal

Fuku

2.0(3 reviews)
1.0 mi•Downtown

04/17/2025 This game has been postponed to April because of…read morethe fire in January. This is near section 324 in the upper level. Look for the outdoor balcony. You could order outside at the patio area or inside where the hallway is for the line. It's a simple menu with sandwich or tenders. You can also order beers here if the vendors or bars are packed. I just called out tenders and fries and really meant to order the sweet & spicy tenders. It came with one aioli sauce. Grab napkins if you think you will get messy. I stopped at another food place for condiments. I need mustard and ketchup for the waffle fries. Not too crazy about the cost but it tracks with the other food stands in the arena. The tenders were definitely crispy and the fries were seasoned. That's all I really ask of any place slinging out food.

The prices for this spot is criminal, but I know it's to take advantage being a convenient food…read morespot inside of crypto com arena on the 3rd floor. I was hoping that the prices would at least be worth the taste of the food! I'm glad that our group only went with the kids' chicken tender and fries meal since it was the cheapest (at a crazy $15). The sauce on the side is some type of yellow-tinted ranch sauce. The chicken ended up tasting so plain with no flavor at all. I didn't even want to eat more, which was more disappointng. The fries were waffle styled yet these were also just as plain as the crunchy battered chicken. If you want some sauce, they'll also charge you for $3.50. I wish I went elsewhere to grab a bite. It was very unfortunate to eat these while watching the Lakers game. I definitely recommend to go elsewhere to save your money. Only plus is that it's conveniently next to a dining area with tables and chairs.

If you like smash burgers, this is a convenient and great option. My order was placed fast and the…read morefood was ready in a short time. There's plenty of parking in the parking structure, and it's a close walking distance. The location is clean and the customer service was good.

The Bottom Line 2 stars: An "OK" choice for a burger, only if you are in the area and nothing else…read moreis nearby. Read on my observations and concerns down below. Location 3 stars: At the LA Live in DTLA, overlooking the Peacock Theater. Free self-parking in LA Live parking structures between 12 noon to 2 PM (to encourage the lunch crowds). Parking however becomes very expensive before or after lunch. There are cheaper (still $10 or more) 3rd party parking lots nearby, but park and walk at your own risk since the area immediately outside LA Live is pretty sketchy. Venue 3 stars: Standard chain burger joint setup. You order and pay at self-service screens or at the order counter, get a number and they deliver your food to your table. Soft drinks are self service with free refills. Service 1 star: Something very peculiar happened as I was ordering at the self-service screen. The screen prompted that an employee override was required as I was purchasing alcohol, which I wasn't. When I asked an employee for help, she put in the override code, quickly added a tip without asking me and advanced the screen to the payment page (there is no way to go back). I did not appreciate this. Food 3 stars: Salads, burgers, chicken sandwich and tenders. OK burgers but expensive for what they are, Drinks 4 stars: Beer and Margaritas to cater to the game and concert crowds at LA Live. Shakes and fountain soda (free refills).
