    Beautiful clean lobby
    Sonny S.

    Great healthy choice in Santa Paula chicken steak, salmon, shrimp, tofu, plant-based steak salads everything is grilled nothing is fried

    Steak tacos with WaBa sauce on the side!
    Lisa C.

    Try the tacos!! Absolutely Amazing! Love the food here. Always feel healthy and full when I leave! Very kind staff and the place is always clean. Lots of parking in the back.

    Again this place skimps on the meat.
    David C.

    Again this place goes cheap on the meat and literally gives half of the serving that other WaBa Grills give. I literally drive to Fillmore to eat at waba because the Santa Paula one does this to me every time. Unfortunately I didn't have time today, but yet again I'm reminded of why I don't come here.

    This is a photo taken of me after tasting their tofu. Too perfect for my mortal tastebuds so I ended up passing out and needing a revive.

    This WaBa location is still pretty new in the Santa Paula area. Very clean and fast service. It was a Sunday late afternoon and not very crowded. My order was perfect and my food was perfect. Chicken was juice and full of flavor veggies were steamed properly to perfection and get this, My avocado was perfectly ripe no black to be seen on it!! That alone is a hard one to come up on. The dining area is inviting with Lights and a modern decor. plenty of space to sit for a meeting/family or just a couple. There's also plenty of parking in the back so do not be discouraged when you first pass by. I love have how WaBa is really healthy and has options from chicken, steak, salmon and shrimp. Very healthy and not to mention a great post workout meal also. I will definitely be comming back for more-yumm!

    Half way thru my meal....one half a waba plate
    Ruby R.

    Came here right after this location opened, their food is definitely on par with their other locations. So if you liked their Waba you'll like this Waba. You can tell employees are new and a little slow going but the manager seems up to par and was helping the staff. Quick service. Fresh food. Only mild gripe was I ordered a side of shrimp and she said it was 2 pieces, I said ok. It was literally 2 pieces but at a different waba it was 2 skewers so I have no idea who was wrong on that but one of the two was! Still 5 stars tho! 10x better than SP Panda!

    Annette was our server at Asiatique Eatery, and she was fantastic. From the moment that we walked…read morein, she had a smile on her face and asked us to sit anywhere we'd like. We sat down near the entrance to get some of the breeze from outside. The decor of the restaurant is nice, with lots of Thai-inspired decor. Now let's get to the good stuff! The food here is amazing. I ordered a hot pot soup that was simply perfect. The amount of spice was just enough, and I love hot pots because they keep my soup hot. My husband ordered a beef rice bowl and added shrimp to it. The rice bowl was also so delicious. To go along with my meal, I ordered Thai boba tea, and I loved it! The portions are generous, so we had leftovers, which we were happy about! I definitely want to go back to try some of their shaved ice; it looks amazing. I can't wait to go back to try other items on their menu.

It seemed to take a while till someone brought us water and another little while till our orders were finally taken. We requested two Thai iced teas which were quite delicious with coconut milk subbed for the cows milk. We told the server we would be sharing our orders. We shared a vegan hot pot and a Pad See Ew with chicken. The hot pot consisted of broccoli, shredded cabbage, carrots, steamed tofu, corn, udon noodles, two vegan dumplings, sliced squash, spinach and baby bok choy. Veggies were tender crisp although the broth was rather bland. The Pad See Ew was a bit disappointing. While the sauce was tasty, the broccoli and carrots tender crisp, the chicken was not only dry but quite tough and chewy. I must add, as were sharing these dishes, the server neglected to bring additional plates and a serving ladle for the soup. So my hubby had to go inside find someone and request the serving utensils for both dishes, plates and eating utensils for sharing. So we waited again. Not sure what folks ate that gave a five star review . What we experienced fell a couple notches below that rating. Would I return? Probably not, there are better options in Ventura.

    We came here for a late lunch as we saw it holds Michelin Bib…read more Sweet: great menu options. So many tasty choices. We ordered the Vietnamese chicken wings and braised pork noodles. Both very delicious. The wings were all flats so that was a plus alone. Full of good flavor and very crispy. The noodles were delicious as well. I recommend both. The restaurant is decorated very nice and the server was attentive. Sour: the restaurant was very clean but it bothers me so much when some places have a designated area that flies like to circle around that tends to be near the bar. I wish there could be more control to prevent that. I did really enjoy the meal but the portions were small. If it wasn't so good I would almost say the prices weren't worth it. You can definitely share but I would get at least 3 options for 2 people. My husband and I weren't that hungry so it was a decent amount since it was such a late lunch and we were thinking about getting something else shortly after.

I like that this place, like many jn Santa Barbara, pays their staff a living wage and so you end up with a more authentic interaction that doesn't feel forced. The aesthetic was beautiful - perfect for a lunch date or for a dinner before sunset. Open air seating, beautiful decor, overall a lovely experience!

My son was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease, and eating out at restaurants has been a challenge. We went to Fusion Grill today, the first time since his diagnosis, and the owner explained that she could make almost anything on the menu gluten-free. They have gluten-free pastas, breads, buns.... They even have a separate fryer, so we don't have to worry about cross-contamination. Most importantly, the owner really understands that even a tiny bit of gluten is still gluten, and for someone with Celiac, they can get very sick. My kids were so excited to find a "safe" restaurant, and we plan on returning frequently!

The fries are addictive, crispy and perfectly seasoned, their "house" sauce - a sweet and savory aioli is crack. This fusion salad is perfection, every thing is perfectly seasoned, insanely fresh, but what gets me is how clean the flavors are, every ingredient comes through clearly and then complements so well. Service is warm, genuine and owner driven. Space is bright and tasteful but nothing overly fancy. Prices are a little over average, but quality really makes you not blink an eye over it.

Since then I've gotten delivery from here but this was my first time dining in. The expansion turned it into a casual dine in restaurant with plenty of seating. I don't tend to do pho for takeout so I decided to have that on this visit. Their signature TNT Pho was so good! The soup was very flavorful, definitely one of the better ones. There seemed to be more meat than noodles since I finished the noodles faster than the meat. Perfect for someone who prefers more protein than carbs! However I personally would like a little more noodles since I like to have noodles and meat in every bite. Previously I had tried the Vietnam banh mi, TNT egg rolls, spring rolls and Chicken vermicelli bowl. All were good but I think the pho is the tastiest of all that I've tried. Service was good. I noticed the employee being very patient with a group of customers taking quite a while and asking a lot of questions about the drinks. The employee was also courteous when one of them asked to "fix" their drink. They also have an order kiosk if you want to order takeout. Very convenient!

The meat was sliced very inconsistently, with some pieces cut thick and others cut extremely thin. This made the sandwich difficult to eat and took away from the overall experience. The pork ribs were okay, but nothing memorable. The side dishes were also underwhelming--very small portions and average in flavor. For the price, I expected larger sides and better attention to detail with the meat preparation. The restaurant has potential, but consistency is important when serving BBQ. Unfortunately, the uneven tri-tip cuts and small side portions left me feeling unsatisfied. This review refers to Best Bar-BQ in Santa Paula, which is known for its tri-tip sandwiches and ribs. Good luck with parking. The most memorable part was the spicy bbq sauce.
