Never been to a WaBa before. It was clean, friendly, fast. The Asian salad sorta threw me off though. This was basically a grilled chicken house salad added with edamame, a packet of wonton strips, and a spicy sesame dressing. Where's the mandarin oranges? Sliced almonds? Maybe cabbage? I'll give them a try again... but I'll skip this dish. Chicken was tough & dry. read more

WaBa Grill - Asian Fusion Near Me - Norwalk, California

Ordered 3 entrees and when i asked for their "waba blaze sauce packet" they stated that they sell it now. Every Waba in the surrounding areas gives it for free like all their other sauces but this location doesn't even provide 1 sauce with 3 entree orders. This location is never getting by business again. read more

They charge you .33 cent per sauce which is so lame. The ladies working at the place are great but owner is rushing you to order and leave.

NEVER AGAIN!! I usually get waba grill very often despite the terrible customer service they have and how stingy they are in giving sauce. I ordered from this exact location on DoorDash and found a long red/blondish hair in my food while eating the rice. I know it wasn't mine or anyone I know because I have dark black hair that's curly and so does everyone else that lives with me. Very nasty and a waste of my money . This place is gross and the employees are lazy. On top of all that they never give salad dressing and that just shows the greed of the company. I will tell my family to stop coming here and everyone I know because people who run places like this and don't care about their customers don't deserve peoples money. read more

You know this place has been consistently good with chicken bowls. Chicken made fresh and service has never been an issue. Works for a quick meal. Can ambiance improve.... sure but it's a chain restaurant that looks no different than the others. read more

I order on the app all the time. The food is prepared with consistency order is always on time. Great location I wish they had longer business hours. read more

WaBa Grill - Salmon avocado yum - Asian Fusion Near Me - Norwalk, California

Chicken Salad Plate Today I order Chicken Salad Plate found unknown objects on the bottom of the Salad. I'm not sure if it's soil with root or meat. If it's meat does that mean they aren't cleaning the cutting boards or knives? If so that means they're cross-contamination the food. That's not okay especially if you guys are selling chicken, meat and salmon. read more

3/6/2020 15:400 Haven't eaten all day and wanted a chicken bowl. Walked in and only one customer was there on their way out. The Mir cashier gave no greeting, just stares at you're wasting her time. I order and don't even get a receipt All I got was a chicken bowl with white rice. What a sorry excuse for a product. When it was done she carries it in the bag with one finger as it's something she doesn't want to touch and says "your food is ready". No other type of customer service here. Couldn't even get jalapeño carrots or onions because the bins are Empty. Check out the photo off my quality product. Definitely maintaining a "Waba" standard here. Oh yeah, Where's my drizzled sauce? read more

Been coming here since opened. I ordered the food online and food wasn't ready till 10 mins later. I asked for the add ons and they didn't even put them in. Just to go and find a hair in the rice. Absolutely disgusting. I went on 5/18 at 11:55am. read more

WaBa Grill - Long black hair in the rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Norwalk, California

It's like they found the worst employees from the worst restaurant and hired them here. The customer service is none. existent employees sound like they don't even want to be there is it really that complicated to remove some orange slices? The manager needs to re-evaluate who they are hiring. read more

Horrible customer service. Extremely rude. The door clearly stated if you are vaccinated you are able to enter without a mask, As soon as I walk in an employee asked where my mask was, so I stated I was vaccinated, he goes on to say "I don't care wear a mask" So I kindly walked out. But I will never go to this place again. He was extremely rude. All while there's 3 people sitting down without a mask eating. Don't post on the door if you are vaccinated you are able to enter and then force people to do otherwise. read more

I have been to this establishment many times for my lunch break but this is the first time when I was eating my Waba Bowl that I found a bone shard inside. Furthermore I got medium size drink and the Starry soda did not taste like the soda brand at all not sure if there was an issue with the fountain drink. Very unsatisfied with these unexpected issues. read more

WaBa Grill - Bone Shard from bowl. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Norwalk, California

My order stayed on the counter for over 10 min before it was given to me . The young lady with blue hair is just careless if your food is sits there or not. She will get to it when she gets to it. Food is good service is not read more

Literally horrible service! Ordered to go and watched my meal be ready and the staff was too busy talking it took them a good 7 mins before they bagged my food and gave it to me. read more

First time here at this location and the place smelled like ass.. i don't know if I came at the wrong time or if they had plumbing issues but damn it was tough to eat there... other than that the food and customer service was great.

WaBa Grill - Really good portion - Asian Fusion Near Me - Norwalk, California

This place is awful. I picked up some food yesterday and as soon as I walk in the restaurant i noticed it had a sewer smell. I order two plates and when I got home the food was disgusting, the rice was mush and way over cooked or reheated from prior days. The chicken was dry and tasteless. It was inedible to say the least. Last time I visit this location, they have gone downhill. read more

The worst WaBa grill ever. I literally walked in and walked right out before ordering. Flies everywhere, trash all over the floor and a customer was eating and her plate had more particles of Fat from her beef on a napkin than I've ever seen someone spit out. Not to judge anyone but Dude working looked like he was in the hood, attitude looked shitty but this is a nice shopping center in a nice neighborhood. Very strange vibes read more

Bad service. Incorrect order. Employees were rude and ensured the order was correct. It was incorrect. Family portion of as supposed or include extra sauce. They wanted to charge me for it. read more

I used to go to this place once a month or so but hadn't been there in a while because they kept getting my orders wrong. I thought I'd give them another shot since I believe they are under new management. Well, I will not be going back. Once again, they just can't get it right. I ordered and paid extra for white meat chicken and when I went to eat it wondered why it tasted so bad. Low and behold, it was not white meat, it was dark meat and I was not able to eat it. Unless you want to stand over them while they make your food, I'd try another Waba. read more

Disappointing. Below average food. Overpriced for what I received. Not to mention restaurant was not very clean considering it was not busy. read more

It's never too late to change, right? Visited Waba last week at the request of my significant other. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure if there's been a change in ownership or if the company as a whole received a face lift--but I'm impressed by the positive changes. The menu is a little more in-depth, now including tofu options and salads. They've spruced up their look, which makes them look more put together. And the service, in particular, at this location has seemed to improve. I'm glad I was pushed into stopping in. Good job on the changes Waba, keep it up. read more

Very hostile environment. Employees not very friendly. Disgusting windows and the drain next to the soda machine is absolutely rancid. Who runs this place??don't even get me started on the management there.. yikes.. can't even say anything good about the food.. read more

Had it not been for some good friends who got me down here I might still be a WaBa Grill virgin, and what a shame that would be! I must confess, I'm not a big pastrami person. I think it's delicious, sure, but I usually don't seek it out. But since this is supposed to be Ground Zero for pastrami in CA, I had to try it. I opted for the #10, so I could get the cole slaw on the side. Took a little while for the sammy to come out, but wow, when it did was it good. The pastrami itself was quite lean, which I guess it always isn't the case, and to tell you the truth I could've used a little more fat in there, but it was still quite delish. What really made the sandwich for me though was their rye bread with the wonderful crunchy crust! And the Russian dressing was a tangy creamy treat as well. It was so good I ended up eating the whole thing, even though just a half would've been quite enough to satisfy. Dan H and I were saying later we should've just split a sandwich between us--oh well! Their cole slaw was quite good as well, fresh, crisp and sweet with just the right amount of mayo. I think I prefer slaw that has cabbage sliced a bit more substantially with more celery seeds, though, so I can't say this was the best slaw I've had. Next time I want to try their tongue sandwich and the chopped liver, as those are usually the items I go for at a Jewish deli. read more

Normaly dont leave feedback ,afraid of sounding like a Karen ,but ive been coming to this location once a month cince they opened ,lately portion size has gotten really small ,not worth my hard earned money anymore ,food is great though.please fix . read more

Under new management is a very bad thing in the case of this Waba grill location. Prior to the change, they had this manager or supervisor that was EXCELLENT! He was full of energy, engaged with the customers in a positive way, and was hands-on with cooking and general leadership of his staff. The quality of the food was great. However, looks like they got rid of him (cheaped out?) and the place is not the same at all. The bowls are served with insufficient amounts of rice and chicken, with a disproportionate amount of rice. The chicken appears not to be all white meat any more, and has a limp, shredded texture as opposed to neat grilled cubes of the past. If you phone in orders and ask for green onions, you will inevitably be served bowls devoid of green onions. Not a problem if you order one bowl, but imagine a large order of bowls to go and now you have to waste time opening each one to add the onions yourself after everything was sealed and bagged up. The staff is leaderless. No manager in sight most days. The former cash register guy ends up having to cook sometimes. Very disorganized. There is no "face" to this franchise location, and it's really disappointing because they used to be solid. They do not compare well at all against other Waba locations at this point. Sad. read more

This location is probably the dirtiest WaBa Grill I have ever visited. Three employees at 2:15pm couldn't figure this out! I took pictures of the soda fountain and back of restaurant with restrooms( one that was out of order ). What is going on? The kitchen floor was super dirty. The dining room had 2 customers. No sauce cups ready to go, " you can fill it up yourself" was the answer I got from the employee. I was never offered vegetables. Never again! I couldn't eat the food. I was too worried of getting food poisoning. Employee hygiene issues. Fire the crew and start from top to bottom cleaning your restaurant. read more

They ran out of brown rice. So what do they do give me white rice and drown it in waba sauce to cover up for it. I told the guy there that I had order brown rice and he said oh yeah we are out won't be ready till 40 minutes. Why not just tell me before I order that you guys are out of brown rice? To make it up he was rude and careless about it. It's always that same guy who looks like he's about to fall asleep. read more

This is by far the worst Waba I've ever been to. Unfortunately I work nearby this location but after today's experience, I'll drive the farther distance and go to the Downey location. First off, I called in an order and the girl on the phone said 5 min. So please explain to me why I drove over there and waited an extra 20 minutes?! I go to the front and say to the guy, "Can you check on my to go order because I called it in 20 minutes ago." Then he says to me, "What's your point?" And I said "My point? My point is that I called it in 20 minutes ago and it's still not ready!" He replied with a shrug "Well, we have a lot of orders". I am beyond shocked at his blatant rudeness. Absolutely ridiculous and terrible customer service. read more

Got home & realized they gave my daughter brown rice when we ordered white, I ordered the chicken plate and the salad had no dressing and then while eating my meal I chewed on a piece of chicken bone, there was only one other lady there besides us, amazing how they messed up our order. read more

I love coming here because it's literally up the street from my job it's so convenient. I usually call ahead and head right over and my food is ready. But every so often they turn their phones off or mute them? I called 4 times and no answer so I decided to head over on my lunch. It takes 3 minutes to get here. I comein and was curious why they weren't answering so as I waited for my food once ordering I called the store. I can see their phone and it never rings! When calling the phone just rings and rings and rings. I waited 25 minutes when no one was in store but one other person for pre made food to be tossed in a bowl. They literally take their sweet time messing around instead of putting your order together. And to top it off they have an attitude. Really disappointed. I can't believe I waste my whole lunch waiting for this place just for my order to be missing stuff as well or it's wrong. read more

This WaBa Grill has the worst service ever. I placed a standard order, chicken bowl, brown rice and veggies. I waited and waited until I realized no one was making my order. I asked an employee, Cecelia, if my order was ready and she looked at me like I was crazy. She asked my name and handed me someone else's order. I assured her this was not my food and started to tell her what I had ordered. She looked at me and said, "yeah, I got it" and proceeded to toss me another persons order (again). I opened the container and let Cecelia know this too was not mine. I tried to tell her what I had ordered but she gave me a dirty look and walked away. I would seriously reconsider having this employee in a customer facing role. I will spread the word about the terrible service here. read more

Never have I been cut off mid sentence ordering food and be asked to order online because my order was too long. Girl if 4 chicken bowls and a steak bowl is too hard for you to understand then this job isn't for you. The attitude on the phone made me want to cancel my order but my husband wanted WaBa grill. I definitely will not be going to this location anymore and will tell my friends too. Such a disappointment read more

I love Waba Grill food, I've been coming here for years. Lately, they have skimping on their portions down to like 50%. There's been two instances now when I get home and I open the chicken bowl and it's only half of the rice and half of the chicken, but still the full price. I would like half of my money back. read more

Foods always good here . No matter what . Just the service here is BAD!! No greeting. Once we walk up to the cashier no hello just a face that says "what do you want?"
