    Normally I'll skip WaBa grill but this one just hits different. The food here fresh, the service is on point, shout out to the owner! He knows how to keep the customers satisfied and keep this joint clean. Check out their deals they offer, perfect in today's economy.

    My wife and I come here quite often and the service is always exceptional. Jessica and David are the ones we usually always see and they are so positive and you can tell they actually enjoy their job. It's nice to see people that enjoy doing what they do and making the most out of it. The food is always fresh and hot and correct. The inside dining area is always clean. The fridge is always fully stocked. And you never see anyone sitting down and relaxing on their phone. They are always working and doing something which is nice to see. I asked what their names were and they said Jessica and David, shout out to these two for always showing great customer service and having a great welcoming presence. Thank you.

    WABA CATERING So so so good, definitely consider this for your next party! My sons first birthday party was this weekend and we invited 62 people (40 adults, 22 kids). I called and spoke to the Manager, David and he HANDLED EVERYTHING. Honestly I just trusted him with telling me what would be enough and he nailed it. He personally delivered the food and packed all the extra sauces and green onions for us. He was perfectly on time and the food was BOMB. Quite a hit and we have a lot of chicken left over for meal prep this week (SCORE!) Each tray serves 12 so we ordered 4 trays of protein: 1 grilled chicken, 1 ribeye, 2 spicy chicken. 2 trays of rice 2 trays of veggies 80 dumplings. We chose Waba because our little man likes it and it was healthier than the tacos we had at my other kids birthday party and we will absolutely be recommending this location and this food to anyone who will listen. I didn't get pictures of the food because I was so busy but my father in law snapped some of the table full of food lol

    The food was decent. The service was great. The main problem is the restrooms. They have a Gender Neutral restroom and a Women's restroom. This is not good. If you have a women's or a men's restroom, you are required to have the other gender restroom. Having a Gender Neutral And one/or the other doesn't work and, in fact, illegal. Either change the gender neutral to a men's (best option) or change the women's restroom to a gender neutral. I reported this violation before I posted the review.

    BUSINESS PERMANENTLY CLOSING 6/28/26…read more Came here with some gals for afternoon tea. It's a cute little restaurant in Old Towne Orange. It's decorated really cute inside and out! Everything was creatively planned and decorated. It was also very clean and spacious inside and out. When you go in, there's a tea sampling station with the menus so you can see which tea you would like to order. Our server was really sweet, but she was the only one serving all of the tables, so she would come by every 10-20 minutes to check on us and some things we asked for didn't make it to the table. If they had more servers, customers would be happy with quicker service. The food and tea were delish! There were 6 of us so we shared a bunch of different teas. I really enjoyed the teas they had. The sweet and savory treats were really yummy! I really enjoyed them. Each person got 5 little savory treats and 4 sweet treats. I kind of wish we got one or two more for $45, but either way they were delicious! We had a great time and were sad to learn that the business will be permanently closing down tomorrow (6/28/26), I would have loved to continue going back!

I would recommend for them to upgrade and get new menus as the ones I got were all stained and in bad condition. Small details like this is important and easy to fix. Total was about $112 for 2.

We decided to give it a try on our first night. Everything from the staff friendliness to the ambiance to the taste of the food was exceptional! The specialty drinks were delicious, and the happy hour prices were more than reasonable. Everything was so good that we went back for a second happy hour in a row. The second visit was just as enjoyable, so much that we decided to visit on Sunday to check out their all you can eat brunch. The selections were amazing with a few exceptions. Some standouts were the ube pancakes, matcha French toast, Toro tartare toast, and garlic scallop fried rice. Some items on the menu left more to the imagination such as the spicy tuna crispy rice, which had no distinct flavor, and the fried oysters. Outside of those selections, the brunch options were amazing and worth the cost. Shout out to Ryan and Koda for the hospitality, and the bartenders that served us during happy hour. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone visiting Orange County!

They all seem to taste the same weather you get them from 3 item combo store or better restaurant. Not here for the egg roll. Wife had the cashew chicken, it was presented well. Water with lemon was served, not offered a soft drink or other beverage. The dear wife can be a food critic and her response was she enjoyed the meal. I did as well. I did notice the noodles had an different taste to them, could have used a little soy sauce maybe. Overall not a bad experience. Would I go again, maybe, if the wife brings it up. The flyer shows a chef that has an impressive resume. With all the options on the menu I can say our meal was enjoyable.
