Spicy "ASIAN" Salad ha ha
JM S.

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.

Salmon avocado yum

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.

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.

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?

Long black hair in the rice
Carely R.

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.

Bone Shard from bowl.

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.

Really good portion

Ordered a steak bowl and when I got home notices there was hardly any meat in my bowl. Basically paid for a bowl of rice.

First, positive was that the customer service was amazing . It was only my husband and I and another table there while we weee dining in . The waitress was very kind, explained what they were out of that evening and was very attentive. Our food came out piece meal , but everything was a great temperature and quick to table. We tried the chips and guacamole. I really enjoyed the chips . I don't know if they are house made, but they had a great flavor. The guacamole was ok not the best but certainly not the worst. I had the tater tots as a side, and you get a lot! They were crunchy and perfect with lots to share and take home,l. My husband ordered a steak burrito I believe which he very much enjoyed . I had the crispy chicken wrap which I have to say I was not a fan of. The homemade vegan ranch tasted a little off to me and had a weird texture . The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing although I was not a fan of the "elevator and holding music " that was playing in the background. . Parking was a bit of a hassle because there are a lot of restaurants in the area , but it wasn't too bad . All in all I am not sure we would be back for the food, but the customer service was excellent.

Came here mainly for the Giant Chicken Katsu, and the size definitely lives up to the name. It's…read morehuge, but not just because of the breading--the chicken itself has a good thickness and stays juicy inside. The outside was crispy, and it comes with curry and rice, so the portion is very filling. We also ordered the Rice Ball, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Spicy Chicken with Cheese. The rice ball was simple but good with the fried food, and the shrimp fried rice was a solid option for kids. The spicy chicken with cheese was richer and heavier, with plenty of melted cheese on top. Overall, the Giant Chicken Katsu was the standout for us and the dish I'd come back for. Good casual Korean comfort food spot in Cerritos.

Food: 2/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 This place is going downhill, which is so unfortunate. I used to love coming here years ago. We got the $50 combo of tteokbokki and fried whole chicken. Is the tteokbokki in the combo supposed to be smaller than the normal one? The portion was comical, filling up maybe 1/3 of the giant white bowl. There were hardly any toppings on there. The cheese was literally a strip. I know this place isn't Yupddeok but they do a whole swirl on the bowl there. Yikes. And the chicken was... mediocre at best. Very anorexic chicken. And they wanted to charge an extra $2 for sauce. Yeah, we left hungry and unhappy. My sister talked about getting McDonald's on the way home. My husband said we should've gone to Chili's. Next time, we'll make the drive to Yukddeok for tteokbokki. Service was good though, our server was very sweet. I wish I got his name but he was working the evening shift and had black hair and a black t-shirt with Gengar on it. He's the only reason the review got two stars instead of one.

I've been wanting to try this pocha spot and it did not disappoint! Here's what we got:…read more Pocha Bossam (large for $29.99) The pork belly was so tender and I loved that the meat was marinated so it was flavorful on its own. It paired perfectly with the spicy radish Kim chi and the sliced pickled radish and green onions. Royal Soba w/ Perilla Seed ($17.95) Most unique soba dish I've ever had. It came with an assortment of toppings that added a lot of texture and flavor when mixed all together. The soba sauce was light, but it was packed with umami and super refreshing - perfect for a hot summer day. Overall, everything was delicious and I love the vibe of the restaurant with the BlackPink posters and KPop playing in the background. The owner and staff were friendly and attentive as well. I would come back to try their other dishes!

How I fell in love with Pocha was the love for their bentos boxes bc you get a little of everything…read more- from glass noodles to rice and chicken wings. My go to is the Braised Beef bento box. This time, the family got the Bossam pork belly, tonkatsu, and bulgogi sliders. So one thing I must say, EVERYTHING IS TOO SWEET. The dipping sauce for their meats is all too sweet. I would prefer a dipping sauce that is a tinge sweet, but more focused on a homemade style chili sauce and garlic. The sugary sauce doesn't bring out the taste of the meats. It coats it. The braised beef and pork belly both come with the same sweet sauce. Not a fan. Unfortunately, the glass noodles were also drowned in the sweet sauce. What happened to salt and sesame oil? I probably won't visit Pocha again for a while. I hope to see they listen to what I've said and make some changes. There are a lot of Korean Street food places in BP to try. 3/5 recommend because their braised beef and pork belly are good dishes.

Jasmin tea made me relaxed. My wife liked the roasted peanuts. Then all the foods were served so quickly. The service was great, attentive, friendly, just perfect. Sweet n sour shrimp was great, perfect balance, fried rice was so flavorful w lots of eggs, seafood chow mein was not bad. I wish they add some more bean sprouts.... Last one was dimsum we ordered. They said it took 30 mins in the beginning. Seemed like they made and steamed dim sum fresh. First, soooo juicy, lovely presentation of each mini foil cup, cute dimsum. Tasty... so juicy! One of our fave parts was Jasmin tea. So relaxing, made us to digest easily the deep fried cuisines. Overall we had such great experience during our 1st visit. Parking is easy, plenty of parking spots in the big strip mall. Everything was great today. They have lunch special and chef special, including catering service. I can't wait to taste some more seafood cuisines. This place is now one of our fave places.
