5 Chili Crisp Dumplings
Steve S.

Fabiola and Luis went above and beyond to satisfy this hungry client. They were able to assist me with waba rewards, advise me on their specials and were gracious enough to let me sample their premium dragonfruit drink. Professional, kind and always with a smile customer service! The chicken bowl and the dumplings that I got were delicious as always. This is my favorite location and I will definitely be back again for more!

Steak bowl
O R.

Got a steak bowl for like $13 dollars to go. When I got home, I opened my bag to eat it, and to my surprise they barely put any food on it. It was like if they decided to charge more and give less. Hardly any rice, meat and veggies. I stood my fork inside the bowl and you can see how petty and stingy they were at filling the bowl properly. Last time I come here. There are better places who don't think half a bowl for the price of one.

Salmon Veggie bowl
Peter X.

It been a while since I came to this Waba Grill location but since I was across the street grabbing dinner with my friends and my wife was craving her Salmon bowl, I stopped by here to get it for her. The plaza this place is in has more parking now because the main attraction store closed. I place the Salmon Veggie bowl off the app so I can just pick it up. I arrived early so I had to wait for them to finish making the food. They were a little busy inside but there was still some seats. They have a kiosk where you can order your food now as well so you don't have to wait for an employee to help you. The customer service was great when I was there. My wife enjoyed her Salmon bowl, she just wish the portion size of the Salmon was bigger but it seems like Waba Grill are giving smaller portions now.

We dumped everything we ordered. Veggies were sour. Disgusting!

This restaurant honestly shouldn't still be in business. The staff had an incredibly poor attitude. I asked several questions about the menu, and they repeatedly ignored me without providing any answers. To make matters worse, the food we received didn't even match what we ordered. The worst part was that the vegetables were spoiled. We threw away everything we ordered. There was clearly no quality control whatsoever. This restaurant should be permanently shut down. Don't come to this restaurant !

10 Dumplings. The sauce that goes with it is really good too!
Rory O.

The food is very delicious and always prepared very fresh. Their staff and management are also very professional and the dining room is very clean. I come here regularly and really like their tacos and dumplings!

Haven't been here for some time. Food is good, service is good, Katie, a new employee, was just absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, fast, professional and courteous. Got our somewhat complicated orders and made perfectly to our liking. Thank you Katie, we will be back for sure. Love the atmosphere, it was just so positive and refreshing.

This is my third time eating at waba grill (each time was this location). The employees at this location always provide friendly and helpful service. Usually my order is always correct and comes out fast and fresh. Today in particular, I did ask for green onions, but they forgot to add green onions to my order (I even asked for extra and he repeated back my order). It's ok, mistakes happen. I still enjoyed my meal. This establishment is always neat and clean. There's plenty of parking (huge shopping center parking lot).

Chicken Rice Veggie Bowl IG: @ammysalamii

Not sure why I haven't tried this place sooner but it is SUUUUUPER delicious!! My bf and my mom got the chicken rice bowls with veggies and I had the steak and rice with salad. First off, the salad dressing is sooooo good. Not sure what kind of dressing it is, very citrusy and good like the ones you get at KBBQ places? The meat was chopped up perfectly like Hawaiian bbq beef and the rice cooked to perfection as well. I wish I ordered extra salad because it paired so perfectly with the steak! My mom ordered take out and brought it home so I can't describe the service or ambiance but the quality of the food is 5 stars in my book! Looking forward to eating here more often! IG: @ammysalamii

Upcharged almost $3 for this?
Lauren W.

Used to love this place but the owner had lost touch! Quality has gone down and they upcharge for avocado that is always brown. Do better.

I paid $20 for extra chicken and steak and they give me this little a$$ bowl. The kiosk wasn't self-explanatory. Please replace these incompetent workers. This is waba grill! When I asked the EMPLOYEE he didn't even accommodate. No stars.

The lamb was just okay, but still decent for the price. I stocked up on spinach and enoki mushrooms, which were both fresh and included in the AYCE rate. ​The sauce bar was spotless and well-maintained. I mixed up the chili sauce with some chili oil, and it hit the spot. I also grabbed a Large Milk Tea with Boba for an extra $5, it definitely hit the sweet spot while dipping hot pot items! ​Service was quick, and the staff brought out extra meat orders right away whenever we asked. Great spot for a quick, filling hot pot lunch in Northridge.

I came in for the lunch special, since I'm pescatarian, I asked our waiter if the soup broth for the Miso base had meat to which he replied he wasn't sure. I asked the same for the Tom Yum to which he replied "No it doesn't" so I ordered it. It was fun to go to the self serve stations to pick up my toppings, everything was neat, organized and clean. The entire process was fun and interactive, the place itself has a very cool vibe to it as well. I also ordered a Jasmine Green Tea that was delicious & refreshing. Unfortunately, the fun stopped there. I was glancing the menu as I was almost done eating just for fun when I noticed under the soups section it said "all broths contain pork" but I figured it was fine since I had confirmed with our waiter that the broth I chose had no meat. Just to be certain, I asked him again, I said "the Tom Yum broth doesn't contain pork right?" to which he replied "Yes it does because all our broths do." I'm not sure what the miscommunication was but this experience really left me feeling blind sighted & quite frankly upset... I understand I missed it on the menu but I did verify with our waiter who gave me false information. Overall, extremely disappointing for me, I've been pescatarian for 11 years, this situation should have been avoided.

It was quite a trek to get here. It's in the middle of the west Valley. No easy freeway access…read more There's quite a few businesses in this strip mall. Parking spaces are super tiiiiiiight. I didn't see any ADA parking at all. We were happy with what we got. Pork belly with umami gravy bowl and added 4 pc "eggroll" aka lumpia. It was really 2 lumpia cut in half. I probably should have ordered a full side but it was a perfect amount. Lumpia was super crispy on the outside. Very flavorful without being overly garlicky or seasoned. Came with sweet chili sauce. Chicken longanisa. It said ground chicken so I was expecting crumbled meat. It was formed into a patty. Very tender and delicious. Also served on rice with egg over easy, scallions and pickled vegetable. Since it was our first time here I got the two bun combo with pork belly and angus burger. Pork belly had a little kick in the sauce. The bao bun was a nice compliment so it wasn't too spicy. 2 slices of cucumber also in the bun to help cut the spice. The angus burger had a creamy mayo sauce with sautéed mushrooms and half cooked onions. Not what I expected but definitely would get again. The side of fries were thin, crispy and very well seasoned. There's not a lot of counter service. You order at a machine. I had to wait because I wanted a printed receipt. As far as I could see, only 2 people working. They brought our food to the table and that guy was very nice and cordial as we asked for a few more things. No one was eating there. Saw about 3 people order take out. Plenty of tables and a picnic table for seating. I definitely loved the wall decor and the clock was my favorite! They had Chinese, Korean and Japanese on the wall. I didn't see any Tagalog where I was sitting but I think that's the main Asian influence.

The boys and I were driving around for a bit to see what we wanted for lunch so I pulled over to…read morepull out the nifty Yelp app to see what was close by. We decided on Oi Asian which had great reviews, so why not. First off, let me say that there is plenty of parking, however, the parks are extremely narrow for some reason. It was a struggle to get in and out of the car due to the width of the parks smh. Anyway, once we got inside, there wasn't anyway at the register and after standing there for a while, I noticed the kiosk so unplaced my order there. There were only two cooks in the back. We placed our order and sat down. The place was clean but everything seemed like it was do it yourself. The boys were thirsty and there wasn't an option for water on the kiosk, so I called one of the cooks from the back to pay for a water and he rang me up. It was pretty rough in there. At one point I had to get up and grab my own fork by reaching over the counter. Once our food was ready, one of the cooks brought our food and I wasn't really feeling my meal, which was the dynamite crawfish bowl. I didn't like the sauce it came with. I just picked at the crawfish and left the rest. As for the boys meal, the fried chicken adobo bowl was REALLY good! I ended up eating theirs because my oldest son didn't like it, which was great for me lol. My youngest and I tore that bowl up. Anyway, the verdict is, I may search around for other options but I know that if I can't find anything else I can always grab a chicken adobo bowl but the service was pretty nonexistent. That chicken adobo bowl saved it. OOO 3 out of 5

We called and placed a phone order on Saturday morning around 11:30am. We ordered the bulgogi…read moreritto, and the fried shrimp ritto. The woman on the phone gave us an estimated wait time of 10 minutes. When we arrived, we quickly noticed how small the parking lot was. There were only two spots opened. I'm not sure what it would have looked like if we came during rush hour, but at least there was spots for us to park in. When we got inside it was pretty small with about 15 seats available for dine in. There was one other party there at the same time we were. Once we paid, we saw the fried shrimp coming from out of the kitchen, so we knew ours were almost ready since they just needed to wrap them up. This place was the definition of a local mom and pop business. Mom was running the cash register, and Pop was in the kitchen. They were two of the sweetest people. She even came out to the dining area to hand us our food, rather than screaming at us from behind the counter. We drove home (5 mins away), and I unpacked the food to find that each box was labeled. It probably wasn't necessary since we could very clearly see which was shrimp and which was bulgogi but I appreciated the small touches. My partner and I each had one half of the shrimp and one half of the bulgogi and it as unanimous that our favorite was the fried shrimp. They do include a sauce that has the slightest kick, but in my opinion it was the best kind of spicy where it isn't painful and it's actually quite pleasant, complimenting the fried shrimp very well. Overall - we are so glad we tried this little local spot. The fried shrimp ritto was so good, I want to try other items, but I know I'll be craving that fried shrimp ritto again.

What a gem in the Valley! Looks like it's literally run by a Korean mom and pop. When I walked in,…read morethe "mom" was at the counter and the "pop" was in the back kitchen. I called in to order takeout of a fried chicken and bulgogi "ritto" for two. It was a fast, delicious lunch! A 'ritto is a "burrito" style wrap-- white rice with seasoned protein, kimchi, special mayo, + optional chili all wrapped in Korean seaweed. The burrito itself is a bit fragile since it's large and the seaweed is the nice thin kind, so it's nice to eat it with a fork over a plate/box so you don't miss any bites I like a seaweed wrap which is fewer carbs than a flour/corn tortilla. The white rice is fluffy and sticky (all good things). The special mayo did it for me. The lettuce (romaine?) was crispy and fresh. There's space to sit inside if you want to dine in, and parking is easy as there's a lot. Located at the corner of Saticoy and Winnetka. Price is comparable to other protein-packed sandwiches in the Valley. And I like supporting local businesses that make yummy food. Looking forward to coming back soon.
