I paid extra for white meat chicken and it's unclear what they gave me. This definitely is not white meat chicken via the texture taste or look. It's kind of similar to tofu but super hard and chewy. I've eaten Waba grill countless times, this is my first time at this location. This was truly disgusting. read more

WaBa Grill - Allegedly white meat chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - South El Monte, California

Plates seem to be a better value than a family meal Beef has grizzle and chicken is kind of dry. About $12-15/person Salad is pretty good. Veggies are boiled. Rice was well made. An OK spot for quick meat and rice place. read more

I ordered takeout here via the app and they had my food within minutes of me placing the order. Was a flawless pickup going and they gave me extra of everything I wanted. (sauces, green onions) Food tasted like classic Waba Grill. I got a chicken and steak plate and overall it was as good as I expected it to be. Not sure why they drenched the dumplings with sauce but otherwise it was good. read more

Jose Lopez at Waba Grill was excellent. He was genuinely friendly, patient, and made the ordering process easy. He answered our questions clearly and made sure everything was correct before submitting the order. Great customer service, he really made the visit better. read more

Brought chicken salad there. Tomato has mold in there. Employee was courteous, but needed owner's approval for a refund. Ask me to come back next day. read more

Great food quality. Portion is fair. A bit pricy. Would try different food next time. read more

This is my go to spot until today. I always inspect the vegetables before eating them and good thing I did because I found a bug/ parasite in my broccoli I'm 5 months pregnant and this definitely made my stomach churn. No more WaBa for me. read more

WaBa Grill - Inspect your food before eating - Asian Fusion Near Me - South El Monte, California

Ordered through Yelp and it was ready even before the estimated time. Perfect for my quick lunch break!

excellent job of the cashier josè always gives me good service and the place is always super clean

Kids only eat free if they are present. It doesn't say that anywhere, but that's my experience. I think it says free after 4pm Monday to Friday and free all day Saturday and Sunday. Adriana refused to give me the two kids bowls with the purchase of the entrees. She claimed the kids had to be there,I wasn't going to argue. I paid for the order, submitted a question to their customer service asking if this was policy. Later that night, she calls me and tells me the policy is always changing, and I was entitled to the free bowls. She offers a free bowl and I tell her I don't want a free bowl, I want my money back for the two bowls. She agrees and I tell her I don't live near by, I won't be coming back soon. She tells me to give her a call so she can speak to whoever is working so they can give me the refund. Today I go in, the cashier tells me she's not in, she comes in later. I call her so she can let him know to refund me the money. She answers and proceeds to tell me that she can't give me the money back, she was later informed. She never called me back to explain or apologize, and she now claims that I should have called first, to see if she was working because she's the only one that can do anything. I asked for a number to speak with someone else, and she refused, she said she had to ask for permission. I like Waba, this location is not the one I normally go to, but her lack of customer service is a reason I will go out of my way to avoid this location. If the company has an offer, she has to comply, how does she have the right to make up how these things work. read more

The photos from the owner posted a month ago looked so appealing that I went today and got 2 chicken + steak plates. Needless to say, what I got was a bit underwhelming for the price. Some green salad, 3 potstickers and then the sparse protein. Okay for a chain restaurant read more

Love the food, love the service, love the store and especially the workers there are so friendly and welcoming, very professional.

Nice to have a healthier alternative in a neighborhood of tacos, burritos and burger joints. read more

I'm all for supporting small biz, but sometimes a special menu item will bring me into a chain. The Boom Boom tacos were on my radar so I visited the nearest Waba which happened to be this location. When I drove up I noticed one of the two front doors was covered in wood...I'm assuming because someone broke in. Which made me want to support this locarion even more. I needed 2 bowls, and 3 Boom Boom tacos, but when I said Boom Boom, the cashier looked at me strange and said she didn't understand. After repeating my order twice, she asked if I could speak Spanish (I am Spaniard btw, but I dont speak Spanish) I said no, and she called another worker to translate. I got my order in after that. Took it home and I absolutely loved those tacos! I hate dry tortillas, but these were moist and I didn't have to rush to finish them before going to the bowl next. So I deciphered the Boom Boom sauce as the taste of traditional sushi "spicy mayo" I originally thought the sauce was gonna be brown like teriyaki sauce, but this was better! So food was great but the experience? I mean, I get it if English isn't one's first language, but instead of repeating my order in an endless circle with no resolve, the first sign of trouble should of went directly to the next translator. There was also a man standing beside me at the counter, going to ask for more sauce, but the repeating forced him to wait through it. Felt bad but my hands were tied. Luckily I ordered a little too much and I'm looking forward to finishing my leftover bowl when I get home! read more

Didn't want to give a refund for a order they messed up! She then called her manager and started talking in Spanish (I know Spanish) saying I was cussing at her. She then realized she messed up and tried to give me free food and drinks (I didn't take anything) Horrible service, STAY AWAY!!!! I hope I get a phone call Isabella! read more

I come here almost everyday , the food is great always consistent, really Friendly staff Mishelle is Great ! Love her energy. Highly recommend you come and try out . -Ari read more

I'm very satisfied with this Waba location, the food is always exactly the way I ordered it and always delicious!... Just this year I lost 40 pounds on the Waba diet!, and it was a piece of cake because of online ordering and pickup... Instead of thinking of what to eat, I just efficiently would get it from this Waba location and get going with my day... This system worked great for me, and I'm still eating like this... Thank you Violet for running such a clean business, I'm happy with everything... read more

I came at lunch and the store was empty. The workers were too busy talking and didn't take my order for at least a few minutes. I asked them for a cup of water with my order and they told me that they do not give out cups for water. Stay away from this place. read more

3 stars * my son is VERY picky and will almost NEVER turn down WaBa cause he will actually enjoy his meal from here. ** this particular WaBa is clean and pretty well maintained granted it's still fairly new and close to home. *** my order is usually made in a timely manner except during lunch hour, but I mean what place isn't a long wait during that time. Minus two stars! -1 The employees walk like slugs and have no sense of urgency to move your order out, just get the orders in. -1 THEY ALWAYS CLOSE EARLY! The sign posted says 9pm, online says 9PM and if I show up at 815PM which I do often due to work schedule. CLOSED ! The first time I was like ok maybe the ran out or something happened cause it was barely 748pm. Second time I was thinking maybe I just had bad luck by showing up at 830. Today it was 820 pm and the store was clean as new and the employees were in the kitchen waving like it was cool but really dude the sign says 9 website says 9. I'm really disappointed because again my son LOVES this place and he's 7. He wanted this so badly and for a quick meal I was hoping they would actually be open at their scheduled times especially on a Sunday but No they were not and we went elsewhere . Sad but true get it together WaBa!!! read more

Weird experience in the drive thru. The female worker face was covered with piercings and fake eyelashes. Not that it mattered; however, she looked as if she could barely stand up and keep her eyes open. I ordered a 10 piece Dumplings and a Diet Pepsi. She handed me my food but forgot the drink. After I informed her that I was missing the drink, she said "oh yea, what was it again?" While the window was open, I observed her fixing the drink. She could barely stand without closing her eyes. My drink was overflowing and when she handed me the cup, it was wet and filled to capacity leaking through the lid. The drink spilled into my car and on my pants. I asked for additional napkins before she closed the window but apparently she didn't hear me. read more

This Waba is the worst!!!! We come at least twice a week and every time we come to this store they are either out of something or get the order wrong! Last week they didn't have dressing and they got my brother in laws order wrong and today they said they have no white rice and no chicken!! I have given this store way too many chances and done. I have made complaints online and called corporate, and now giving them a bad yelp review. It's so sad because this Waba is new and close. We now have to travel to the Industry one where they never get anything wrong here- but is an inconvenience for me. AVOID THIS WABA! read more

To me, and my palate. The WaBa Grill is not as tasty as the one in Baldwin Park on Maine St. Seems to be lacking flavor, taste somewhat bland. My last steak and chicken plate the rice was very soggy and was bland, but the little side salad was goodI've Yelped the WaBa in Baldwin Park many times. So I'm going to have to stick with the WaBa in BP. Even though this WaBa is across the street from my place of employment. read more

Just opened! Good news is that it's reliable and you know what to expect. Not good is that they have a new staff and they are ultra confused with all the new combo and selections. I got the meal that includes the 22oz drink and chicken bowl but they also charged me 25 cents for an upgraded drink. No one could figure it out. Finally they said looks like we owe you 26 cents or would you like the large drink. Hopefully they will improve in the next couple weeks read more

Today was the first time that I actually ordered from this waba location because it wasn't actually closed like the previous times I came for dinner. The location was dead and the cashier was violet or jasmine since both names appear on the receipt. She took my order quickly and the food was ready quickly, but it went down hill when I asked for condiments. The way she reacted made me feel like I was bothering her. I asked for onions and since the containers had such a little amount I asked for two more. It literally felt like she was moving like the sloths at the dmv in the zootopia movie. Last time I come to this location. read more

No customer service, did not greeted me like other restaurants do.. Waiting in line 3 minutes until I was acknowledged. Prices are okay, got my food before other customers that were there before me (that deserves 1 star).. overall okay. Clean environment!! read more

Came here to grab a quick lunch. I had received a 20% off coupon from Fivestars for my birthday and this is the closest WaBa grill to my office. Service and food was fine. What you'd expect from fast food. I took away one star because they told me I couldn't use my coupon....apparently since they are a franchise and not a corporate store they don't take the coupons. Even though nothing like that was stated on the coupon, saying I could only use it at certain WaBa grills. So keep this in mind if you planning on coming here with a coupon in hand. read more
