Veggie Bowl, Steak Bowl, Chicken Bowl
Nai Q.

It's healthy, fresh and convenient. Better alternative to a lot of "fast food" the service is nice and woman over the phone and at the register is sweet. One gripe that docks them 2 points and probably worth a call to the health department? They use the same knife to cut EVERYTHING! Your chicken, beef, veggies, fish everything is being scooped from the grill and toasted on a chopping board with the same knife. He's using the same knife to shred everything. No wipes in between. So ugh yeah that's a no go bruh. I suppose in the future one can ask them to use a different knife or clean the knife prior to use but it just seems like a unhygienic practice especially if someone's allergic.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The service was excellent, and the place was very clean. Highly recommend!

Terrible portions!  Make sure to check your bowls before you leave.

Terrible portions! Make sure to check your bowls before you leave. This location has become more and more stingy but now it's not worth the money. How sad because I love waba.

Don't ever order from here through Doordash. They will screw you because they know you aren't there in person and give a tiny amount of meat and a huge amount of rice.

Still impressed with the service and just whole ambiance of the location. I been to able 3-4 waba grills this is by far the cleanest and friendliest staff I've seen. That's a big plus in my book, if they don't look like they're having fun the vibe turns off right away. They're always smiling whenever I go. They've got a dope deal going on like a happy hour type deal only 8$!!!! It's always a steal when it's less than 10$ in my book. That's mad affordable and it's more than enough. At least for me, I get 2 servings for the price of 1. If you add avocado and some green onions for that extra kick in flavor then this is your post workout meal. I usually do so after a bike ride on my way back home I'll stop by and grab a quick bite to eat. Next time you got your lunch break, go down to this specific waba grill, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing! Loved the food and service. This waba grill is definitely my favorite location around me. The cashiers are very friendly and informative. The food is always out quick and steaming hot. Best Waba Grill around.

This place really is Asian fusion! The menu is so diverse with so many flavors of different Asian…read morecuisines. I felt almost confused at first, like as if the restaurant wasn't even sure of its own identity. However, once I started eating the food, I understood and am extremely impressed. I had ordered the crawfish pasta, popcorn chicken (spicy), and fried baos. The pasta was cooked perfectly with chunks of crawfish and sausage in a creamy tomato-esque sauce. I usually don't care for crawfish, but it was so delicious here. The sauce was so buttery and creamy, and the sausage added a cajun spice to the dish. The components are all very seafood boil, but felt different and innovative with unique flavors. The popcorn chicken was seasoned very well and had the perfect fried, crispy texture you'd expect from popcorn chicken. What really made this unique was the sauce that it was served with. I am not sure what exactly the sauce is, but it tastes like a ginger scallion sauce that is served with Chinese boiled chicken. The sauce is a little more elevated and flavorful than a traditional ginger scallion sauce. I would've never thought to combine popcorn chicken with it, but it works! The fried baos were the most surprising to me. I was keeping my expectations low because I usually think frying something that's not normally fried doesn't always bode well. Fear not, the baos were fried perfectly. They were fried lightly while the inside kept your typical bao consistency. Also, in case you were wondering the type of bao, it is basically a steamed bao with ground pork, and I think an egg yolk inside. The flavors felt very much like traditional dim sum, yet new and fresh. Hats off to the chefs and the creators of these dishes. So innovative while still keeping the familiar Asian flavors! I ordered delivery, so this review was solely based off of the food.

The marinated chicken sandwich (banh mi similar) was AMAZING. All of the flavors melded so well, it was so fresh, the sauce was so good, chicken marinated just right and the egg cooked to perfection. The peach lychee green tea was so good too. Definitely will be back as soon as possible.

My husband and I have been craving ramen, so we decided to try this place for the first time. The…read morerestaurant itself is very cute and cozy, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing. The service was okay but a bit slow. We ordered chicken ramen, spam musubi, yakisoba, a soda, and the Pinnacle lemonade. The lemonade was extremely sweet and honestly tasted like old, rotten pineapple. I sent it back and let the waitress know I just didn't like it and wouldn't be drinking it. An owner came over to ask about the lemonade. When we explained that it was just too sweet for us and tasted off, he repeatedly insisted that it's "very popular" and that "everybody loves it." He then told us it didn't taste rotten and implied we were wrong. The interaction felt dismissive and rude rather than helpful. As for the food: * The ramen was very bland and lacked flavor. * The yakisoba was extremely salty. We actually ended up mixing the yakisoba into the ramen to give it some flavor, and it was better that way. * The spam musubi tasted good, but unfortunately we found hair in it after we had already eaten most of it. My husband also ordered the tempura sampler, which according to the menu includes shrimp, popcorn chicken, calamari, onion, and potato. However, it also came with fried jalapeños, which were not listed on the menu. My husband bit into one unexpectedly, which wasn't pleasant since we weren't told they were included. After we left, neither of us felt well. We both became nauseous and had stomach pain shortly after eating. While we can't say for certain what caused it, it honestly felt like possible food poisoning, which made the whole experience even worse. Overall, while the restaurant has a cute atmosphere, the food quality, cleanliness concerns, and the way the owner handled feedback left a bad impression. We really wanted to like this place, but based on this experience, we wouldn't return or recommending.

The fried rice is unassuming but the flavor packed a punch the green sauce with it so good. The pho perfectly light and savory. Not overly salty tasting which I appreciate!

They have great service, super attentive and friendly. You pay up at the front after you're done. It's a simple place, not much decor. But they got all the flavors so it's fine. Plenty of parking in the area as well. You gotta try it!
