The pickled daikon and carrots also cut through the richness of the meat. We also got the spicy Cajun bag, which had a good amount of seafood and was easily splittable between two people. The seafood tasted fresh, and the sauce was very flavorful! The Thai tea was also creamy and refreshing, perfect for fighting the heat of the seafood. There is no bathroom, but the staff was also super nice and let us wash our hands in the sink behind the register. The spot is pretty small, with a few tables inside. The food was so good that I was surprised it wasn't busy at all, it definitely deserves more business!

I was really excited to see that they offered Onigirazu and Okinawa style musubis, because I love…read moreboth of these items but they're not really offered anywhere close to me. The only place that does okinawa musubi that I knew of is in koreatown, and I don't know of any spots that does onigirazu in LA. The okinawa style musubi was amazing and monstrously thick, thicker than some burgers I've had. I really enjoyed the shrimp tempura onigirazu as well, and will definitely be back to try the other varieties. I once traveled for 40 min in New York to try out a spot that also had shrimp tempura onigirazus, but they were only sold prepackaged and cold, so it's such a bonus to have them made fresh. Owners were extremely friendly and offered a large cup of cold water when I picked up my food which is a god send in this heat wave we've been experiencing. This is such a friendly and affordable mom and pop shop, and my platonic ideal of a restaurant. I would be a regular here at least twice a week if I was a resident, I'm jealous of the locals that can frequent this gem anytime they want.

Although limited staff, the cashier was still attentive and asked if I needed anything or water which I appreciated very much. It seems like most people order online so I will try that next time!

Nice flavor, tender, good sauce, and the rice was solid too. No complaints on the taste at all. But then you look at it... This has to be the smallest teriyaki bowl I've ever had. Look at the pictures. It's basically just a thin layer of rice with some beef on top, no vegetables at all, and it was over $10. That's where it loses me. The food itself is good, but for that price and that portion, it just doesn't make sense. This feels like something that should be around $6. So yeah... good flavor, but the portion for the price is way off.

I first heard of this place because my brother has been coming here for years. My first impression was that the place was spotless, the seasonal music was very enjoyable, and the service of the ladies in the back made me feel amazing. Food wise, highly recommend the dumplings here. All of the sauces are great but the garlic serrano and spicy waba are my favorites. The new owner Chris is an authentic Korean foodie and chef, super friendly made my brother and I feel like family when we came in. I ordered the chicken bowl with brown rice and veggies because im trying to eat healthier. This Waba really helps me when i dont have time to meal prep. The food is healthy, delicious, and it is super fast and affordable. Love this place always amazing service and top notch food. read more

Has typically been decent. This last was absolute $hit. Lemme elaborate... Wifey got the classic chicken salad w/balsamic dressing. Far from classic. Loaded with iceberg lettuce and I mean loaded. The least expensive inclusion in a salad. That said, while it is supposed to come with cucumber slices, it did!!! All 3 of them. Lettuce was obviously not entirely fresh as there were soggy limp leaves throughout. The grilled chicken was dry and tomato slices were about an inch thick. The tomatoes and dressing were the best part of the salad. Wifey refused to eat the vast majority of it as thoughts of salmonella and psyclosporiasis began to dance through our heads... On to my "Maria's Salad Burrito w/shrimp" and an avocado "extra". (For a mere $3.50 extra I might add). When they advertise "with shrimp" understand they are being literal. One effing shrimp in the entire burrito. ONE. O.N.E.. ONE... As for the avocado, it too was virtually non existent. Maybe 3 little fingernail sized pieces. Will never ever go back to this piece of $hit establishment. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I refuse to be shamed. You, Prontos, have been.
