This is my go to spot when I'm looking for a healthy quality meal. Especially if you're looking for something light and not too filling. There's many options to choose from. Teriyaki Chicken, Beef, Salmon, & more. My favorite is the teriyaki chicken bowl. Definitely stop by and give it a try. I recommend the half and half bowl. (Chicken and Beef) The service is A+ and setting is nice and quiet.

The worst Waba Grill restaurant, Korean lady very stingy with her napkins and the sauces. I got myself a chicken bowl and some dumplings lady gave me a Sauce with hardly anything and they wanna charge me for another side.

Sauce they give with each order- not even halfway full!

After my review, Waba Support Center replied here and asked me to email all the information regarding the transaction. We each exchanged a total of two emails. I followed up a few days later via email and never received a reply from Waba Support Center. Waba Support, please don't respond to these reviews under the pretense of being concerned about our awful experiences if all you offer is a "traditional formatted apologetic message" without resolute.

Chicken bowl no veggies

As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome and a huge smile! Service was amazing! And the food was great! The lady who was at the register was attentive and super helpful! Definitely will be returning! I got the chicken bowl with veggies and my gf got the chicken bowl without veggies. Great serving sizes and amazing flavor. We also got the pot stickers and they were to die for! Soooo good really recommend them.

My first experience at WaBa Grill was memorable. My husband and I ordered a salmon (no sauce) veggie bowl with broccoli only and avocado, since we're watching our carb intake. First of all, there's a charge for omitting rice and two other veggies? Like that makes sense. Anyway, we get our order and... there's rice under the salmon and broccoli. My husband tells them we didn't want rice, and the cashier tells us to eat around it. EAT. AROUND. IT. We take it back to our table, then she brings out a side of broccoli and tells us "Next time, ask for no rice," to which my husband replies, "Don't worry. There won't be a next time." Burn. Needless to say, the $30 meal for the two of us, which we had to "eat around" will be an unforgettable experience.

Very friendly waitress greeted us upon entrance upstairs. We ordered to go as we had our little one with us. Food came quickly while only one other customer was present. We ordered Honey Walnut Shrimp, egg drop soup, and the shrimp corn dumplings. We liked the soup the best. Will have to return earlier in the day to and give it another chance.

Authentic Chinese food, Beijing pies, dumplings and more ! It's an old building ... est since 1929 I believe. So old decor , nothing fancy and there are stairs to climb. We had red Mongolian Beef and General tso. Mongolian beef had a lot of veggies but beef was tender. Tso was crunchy. The restaurant was pretty empty . I think a lot of people grab to go because we were the only guests for the longest. The chef came out and didn't speak much English but was so excited to let us know he was happy to cook for us. Free soda if you pay with cash. We had cash and our dishes were about $16 . We left tip. Parking can be difficult.

So when I found Peking Chinese Fast Food I was absolutely delighted , that not only is the food delicious, they also give you a lot of it and for a reasonable price! My favorites are the Orange Chicken & Spicy Chicken with Chow Mein & Fried rice. Oh, & don't forget to get the Cream Cheese Ragoon, there is nothing skimpy about these & paired with the sweet & sour sauce & drizzled with Chile' crisp sauce, chefs kiss! Oh did I mention the chow Mein? The BEST fast food chow Mein ever!! So when you think, oh I live in Ojai , Ventura, Camarillo ... I don't want to drive to Oxnard. Shut that voice off in your head & drive to Oxnard , because believe me your tastebuds & tummy will be thanking you! Family owned & a welcoming atmosphere!

If I could give this place 1,000 stars, I would. Walking into In-N-Out felt less like entering a…read moreburger restaurant and more like stepping into the gates of heaven. The smell alone should be bottled and sold as perfume because it's impossible to resist. Before I even took my first bite, I already knew I was about to experience greatness. Then the burger arrived. I'm convinced the burger was handcrafted by culinary geniuses who have spent centuries perfecting the art of making the world's greatest cheeseburger. The bun was so soft it practically floated into my mouth like a cloud. The beef tasted so fresh and juicy that I almost forgot every other burger I've ever eaten existed. The melted cheese wrapped around the patty like it was giving it a warm hug, while the lettuce was so crisp it sounded like applause with every bite. The tomatoes tasted like they had been picked from the Garden of Eden five minutes before they landed on my burger. Every single bite somehow got better than the last. I actually had to stop halfway through just to appreciate what I was experiencing. People around me were probably wondering why I was smiling so much, but they clearly understood once they saw the burger. Now let's talk about the fries. People debate fries all the time, but these were legendary. Freshly cut, perfectly cooked, and absolutely begging to be dipped in their famous spread. Every fry disappeared faster than I could grab the next one. I seriously considered ordering ten more baskets just so I could keep the experience going. The milkshake? Unreal. It wasn't just a drink--it was a life-changing event. Thick, creamy, perfectly sweet, and so good that I almost forgot I had just eaten one of the greatest burgers on Earth. I would've happily ordered another one if my stomach hadn't already been celebrating. The restaurant itself was spotless. Everything was sparkling clean, the dining area was welcoming, and the atmosphere somehow made the food taste even better. You could tell everyone working there genuinely cared about making sure every customer left happy. The employees were friendly, fast, and somehow managed to keep smiles on their faces while serving what felt like half the city. The service deserves its own standing ovation. My food came out so quickly that I started wondering if they had mastered time travel. Everything was hot, fresh, and exactly how I ordered it. They treated every customer with kindness and made the entire experience feel special. By the time I finished eating, I honestly considered standing up and clapping. This wasn't just lunch--it was a core memory. If someone told me I could only eat one burger for the rest of my life, I'd choose In-N-Out without thinking twice. I'd happily drive across the country, through deserts, mountains, and traffic just to have another one. Scientists should honestly study how In-N-Out makes food this good because it doesn't seem physically possible. If aliens landed on Earth and asked what humanity's greatest achievement was, I'd hand them a Double-Double, Animal Style fries, and a milkshake. In-N-Out didn't just meet my expectations--it launched them into another galaxy. This place has officially ruined every other burger for me because nothing else even comes close. Absolute perfection from the first bite to the last. I'll be dreaming about this meal for years, and I already can't wait to come back.

Luke 12:15 What happened to IN-N-OUT??? The fries are…read moretasteless and tepid. The patty is thin and completely overwhelmed by the cold tomatoes and pickles. I miss the good Californian In-N-Out that used to be. I think the owner has sold out. The staff is still nice and friendly but that's the only thing this place has going for it. Sad that a beloved place like this could betray us all.

If you like building your own combos, this one actually turned out really good…read more I came to Dave's Hot Chicken tiday and made my own bowl. I got a 10-piece of Dave's Bites with mild seasoning, added a side of mac and cheese, and a side of coleslaw. I used the chicken box as the base, dumped the mac and cheese on top, then the coleslaw, and finished it with Dave's sauce all over. It all comes together in one bite. Crispy chicken, creamy mac and cheese, and that cool crunch from the slaw with the sauce tying everything together. It looks a little crazy, but check the pictures... it's loaded and it works.

I always thought that I did not like DHC because it always tasted like burnt chilies and unbloomed…read morespices but this time was different. I ordered the mild (instead of spicy or extra hot) chicken tenders and the flavor really good. It was well cooked and juicy. Although I enjoy the spice, the mild did not have any bitterness or bad aftertaste to it like the spicy version that I've had in the past. I also ordered the mozzarella and that was enjoyed by my group. The single tender sounded like a good deal so I added it but it was such a tiny piece compared to the size in the tender combo so that was not worth it (it's better to order another combo set with two) since it was half the size of the tender in the combo. This location is severely understaffed but the one person that was there, was very friendly and did what she could. The wait time was extend by 15 minutes but it was fine considering the lack of staffing. Clean restaurant and an overall good experience. Ample parking in a shared lot.
