Where else can you grab a healthy, hot, fresh meal for under $10? I honestly can't think of anywhere but right here. I usually get their mini bowl with either chicken or steak, and it comes with rice, plus I add veggies for an extra 50 cents (I think). There are other add-ons to choose from. They don't take EBT. If you're more of an introvert, you can place your order on their self-serve kiosk (idk what else to call it), otherwise anyone at the counter will be happy to help you. Even when I've used the kiosk, they still greet me with a smile. The restaurant is always clean, and even when it's busy the vibe is still pretty chill. I find myself craving WaBa Grill throughout the week. Maybe next time I'll branch out and try something new on their menu! See you guys soon! read more

Juan helped us out, we were having a hard time using the app. We got a promo for 5 free dumplings on the app, so we signed up, but it wasn't working. Juan saved the day. Nothing but nice things to say about the service and to go experience. Location was clean. Food was good. My main complaint was a bone in my chicken and it just not being the best quality meat. My partner is particular about his meat and there was too much gristle for his liking. I don't think we will be back. read more

Delicious and great value. We ordered three value chicken and rice bowls with vegetables (extra charge for veggies, but that's fine). Came with dumplings (three per order) and a dragonfruit popping boba drink. Cost $34 total including tip. The dumplings were delicious and I work in a high end dumpling restaurant. The chicken veggie rice bowls were very good. Veggies were fresh, chicken was flavorful and the WaBa sauces added flavor. Great, relatively inexpensive dinner for my family, and good customer service too. read more

Hello, The food and service were great. The staff is helpful and friendly. However, the temperature inside the establishment continue to be an area of opportunity. It is uncomfortable to dine in or even wait for your to-go-order. read more

WaBa Grill - The temperature inside this waba grill. - Fast Food Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Since we moved back to NoHo we have been exploring quick takeout places. My husband likes this place even though he's never that thrilled about the quality. I on the other hand have just stopped all together eating here because it's really not that great. The servings are small and the flavor is mediocre at best. It's close to the house and that's a driving force in some nights. It's just okay. read more

Don't bother unless you're into overpaying for dried up chicken and rice. We had two different chicken bowls - one sweet and spicy, one regular. Both upgraded, one with vegetables, one the full plate. $31. plus tip with one fountain drink and a free water. Not just the chicken, but even the rice was dried out - whether because it is low quality chicken or was overcooked, I couldn't say, but it was far from any sort of gastronomic experience. Service wasn't that fast either. Avoid. read more

WaBa Grill - How can something that looks this good taste so dried out? - Fast Food Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Waba grill is always solid! Only thing is they do tend to skimp a bit on the meat portion but I still love their bowls overall!

We came today 4/16 after a doctors appointment @11:30 .They give you very little food at this location. A regular bowl is like a mini. The amount of chicken is less than a mini and the rice was only filled below the half way mark. My husband frequently goes to Waba by our home he loves Waba ,this one was a a miss read more

I have been to multiple WaBa Grills. The food here was so dry for my rice and chicken bowl. The miso soup was also the worst I have ever had. It was chunky at the bottom ! I didn't notice until after I finished eating it I always finish my miso soup but this has been the first time I see this. read more

Wow! What great customer service by Ruben. Young kid but hands down one of the best that I've encountered in my lifetime. Always a pleasure to stop by at any WaBa establishment. read more

My work chose this place for our monthly company lunch. Stephanie was extremely helpful with making this an easy and smooth process. Her customer service was amazing and reassuring. The food was delicious, we all enjoyed our meal and I thank the team for this amazing experience. read more

SMALL PORTIONS! I have been to a number of Waba Grill restaurants. i have always been happy with how much chicken you get in their rice bowls. This particular location serves about half of what the other locations give you. I can have extra chicken if I pay an additional $5.39...No thanks! I don't know if this is because of the management or store owner. Looks like I will be driving to other locations for a decent meal. Such a ripoff! read more

Came in today and this location is so clean and new inside. The service was quick and your food is cooked fresh for you. I'll def be back to this location. read more

I don't know what I expected, but this was pretty bad. Actually, I do know what I expected - at the very least I expected the salad to have more than 4 leaves of lettuce and not be drenched in sugary sweet dressing. I expected the salmon not to taste so plastic and yet somehow fishy and I expected the vegetables to be steamed and not, what I assume to be, microwaved which rendered the carrots so stale they was impossible to spear with a fork. I expected there to be some kind of flavor without having to douse the whole plate with yet another sticky sweet sauce packet. Overall pretty tasteless, and what could be tasted, tasted off. Should I cut Waba some slack for being a fast food restaurant that offers healthy-ish dishes in a full-fat, deep fried world? Yes - so for that as well as the portion size, they get two points. But lesson learned about ordering their salmon. Never again. read more

It's pretty awful. I'd been to another Waba Grill many years ago and it was actually pretty good -so I'm not sure if the whole chain has gotten worse -or if it's just the NoHo location. I ordered a salmon/veggie bowl w/side of dumplings. When I got home with my order -I checked and wasn't sure if it was chicken or salmon. After smelling & tasting a tiny bit- I still wasn't sure. The thin and under-cooked tasteless bit of salmon was sitting on top of a mound of sticky white rice with a few pieces of under-cooked broccoli and carrots (also lacking much flavor). The dumplings were equally under-cooked, flavorless and soggy. It's as though they used the least expensive food they could find -then microwaved or poached everything before placing on a grill for 10 seconds to get grill marks. The only positive thing I can say is that they didn't give me much salmon. I didn't finish it -and I was hungry. I won't be going back. read more

Let's highlight a great team! Immediately when I walked in was greeted by alam, who was busy taking an order. He has great customer service skills and can breeze through a line. Previously, I went to the WaBa grill by the chucky cheese on Laurel canyon until I saw roaches. Gross. This location is new and ran completely different. I loved how clean it was. This is my normal, chicken bowl with veggies and rice. I opted for brown rice this time. My veggies weren't cooked through all the way hence the 4 stars. But overall, it's a cheap and healthy ish convenient meal! And it's yummy. read more

Good fast food, a bit hit or miss. If you find something you like, cool, you're set. I'm a fan of the tacos. They're good, cheap and fast. The veggies in the bowls are mediocre. There's 3 vegetables or maybe 2. So just get the protein and the rice and you'll be fine. You don't go here for the service or the ambiance so they don't matter. read more

Food is good but they barley give you anything! I paid almost $10 for this little meat?? Very stingy portions. read more

Great custom service and ofc the food never fails ! My absolute favorite chicken bowls

I have been to many WaBa Grills locations around Los Angeles, and the San Fernando Valley area. I have to say this particular location is hands down my go to WaBa Grill 5 out of 5 for sure! My orders are always hot and most importantly accurate. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this WaBa Grill! read more

Always does the job! Quick and Easy They have promos for certain days too! Parking could be a bit better in this complex though read more

I was busy on my phone and a WaBa Grill ad comes up on my phone. Looks delicious and it opened right near my house. So here we are a family meal and full stomachs later. The place was clean and followed the proper Covid-19 guidelines. Staff wore gloves and had masks on. They also had sanitizers on the counter for use. Stickers on the floor mark the 6 feet apart distancing. We decided to go with the family deal because it was the better option for us. It came with: 1.Protein option (chicken, steak, WaBa-Steak and Chicken, and Tofu) 2. Steamed Veggies 3. White or Brown Rice 4. Ten (10) piece wontons 4. Four (4) drinks. The food was delicious and hit the spot. Paired with the WaBa sauce and my side of avocado, it was perfect. The only downside from this visit was they forgot to add my 10 piece wonton, which was the main reason we ordered because our kids love them. Other than that, we will be back. Welcome to NoHo! read more

great customer service Lady at FOH was very polite and fast Even when it was busy she kept it calm read more

4 stars for good *fresh* food at a really good value. Honestly these days it's pretty hard to have a decent meal for 2 ppl under $25. Get the veggie rice bowl. The extra $2.50 for the plate is not remotely worth it.. 2 bites of salad and half an orange? Trust me, just go with the veggie bowl. Also, I suggest getting your sauce on the side. Bowls/plates are pretty saturated with the sauce and It can be a little overwhelming sugar-wise (which is also not very healthy). Get it on the side and add it to your taste. If I were a more petty person, I'd take off 2 stars for the awful music playing over the speakers. First, it was too loud. I could barely hear the person taking my order, which was apparently reciprocal because they missed a detail on my order. Second, while trying to enjoy our meal in the store, we could.not.wait. to leave because the music was just that annoying. Unintelligible vocoder trap music with machine-gun hihats? Really? I find it hard to believe that any business owner would want to subject their customers to this. Dead silence would have been better. read more

Food is good. Customer service is good as well. I love that they have so much variety of protein. The spicy waba is a must. Would eat again.

Highly recommend. Great healthy delicious food always since I've been coming here to Waba on Lankershim in North Hollywood for the last 2 years. I can't say enough about the service here as well. Giselle, David, and Stephanie have always been kind upbeat expedient and cool. Please give them raises. I mean it! I keep returning because of them especially. Never a bad experience with the many sweet n spicy ckn plates I have ordered. Check it out. read more

I'm a big fan of customer service and when I find it I have to acknowledge it!

Amazing service!!! It was quick and a great food. I'm so happy that I came here. I appreciate the drinks.

Ambience is clean, staff is the best, food was prepared neatly and the food is not cold. Order is never messed up when I come here

I'm sorry I never Wright a review because I know how this business is specially in restaurants. I send my husband to buy me some food because I was super hungry so he bought two plates with shrimp and what do I get? A burnt Shrimp and can't even taste the shrimp I'm so upset only because I come all the way from Sambernardino County to work here in North Hollywood and I can't eat and I don't have time because my lunch time is only for 30 minutes by the time I go over my lunch is over. Please this goes to the workers if you burned the food don't give it to your customers because we work so hard to get this, specially if you are starving. That's why we pay for our food... this is not free thank you read more
