    Waba chicken shortage I guess
    Jose M.

    Never coming back to this waba. Ever again only waba I been to where they weight out the chicken it's. Like 80 % rice 20% protein what a joke

    Half-and-half plate
    Jonathan W.

    I got the half beef, half chicken plate with dumplings, half rice, and half vegetables. The beef was cooked to perfection so tender and mouthwatering. The cashier was incredibly nice and helpful in guiding me to choose the right options. Parking was a breeze. I will definitely be returning to this location Forgot to mention, I got double protein and Man they packed it

    To make them more beautiful. I just got 4x6 transparent self-sealing cookie bags  And I made stickers

    5 Stars - Outstanding Service and Delicious Treats! I can't say enough good things about the staff at the Waba Grill in Stanton (on Katella and Knott). They always go above and beyond, and the food is consistently fresh, delicious, and exactly what I expect every time I visit -- which is why I only come to this location. Recently, I asked if they could place a special order of their Rice Krispies treats for my daughter's first birthday party. Not only did they make it happen, but they helped me plan and coordinate the whole order with ease. I received 50 Rice Krispies, and they were a huge hit at the party! Everyone was raving about how tasty they were. Thank you to the amazing team for your kindness, professionalism, and for helping make my daughter's celebration extra sweet. I truly appreciate everything you did!

    Location: small but clean, nothing alarming. Self serve veggies, sauces and drinks all well maintained. Now for the good part; Food: I ordered these new Boom Boom Tacos, I went for it with the Trio. Don't know if I took too long to pick them up but the temp was a bit cold. The tortilla, pretty legit. Had the feel of handmade, thick but not crumbly. There was just the perfect amount of everything, meat to taco ratio where I got a good bite throughout. Sauce not overpowering the protein option. And the cabbage mix was crispy and also did not fall out of the tacos. The chicken was good, nothing extraordinary. I added a little more WaBa sauce and their Serrano sauce and yum! The shrimp taco was pretty good too. Also added Serrano sauce, but should've had it just as it comes. The beef taco was my favorite. I enjoyed the sweet and savory taste of the meat and combination of sauces. Would I take them over OG tacos? No. (real good authentic Mexican tacos a few stores down the same shopping center at El Jefe) But for being fusion tacos. Not bad. I give them 7/10.

I was lucky to receive my dish pretty quickly, but some of the other people in my party had to wait quite a bit. But I think the staff were working as fast as they could so ultimately, i think service was fine. I tried the lomo saltado with beef, fries and garlic noodles. Overall tasted great. The fries still managed to have a crispy texture and had a sweet and savory sauce flavor to them. The beef cubes were tender and cooked just right. The noodles were fine as well. I liked that the noodles werent too heavy. The portion size is very large though, i was very full by the end of it. The green milk tea was good too. The milk, sugar, and tea ratios were all balanced and the flavor was subtle. It had an interesting flavor that reminded me of grass jelly and milk, but in a good way.

    When you frequent a restaurant so much that the staff pretty much know who you are and that you are…read moreconsidered one of their regulars, that would be Cafe Hiro for us. Because we come here so often that the staff could treat us more casually, but because of the true Japanese hospitality and professionalism, we are treated with great respect and appreciation that we come to support their small business. We have eaten here and have been coming here since the pandemic and I honestly can say that we have never had a bad experience here. The food is definitely the number one reason we come here, but the service and vibe are also strong reasons to we continue to return here. Also, I don't think I've had anything here that I did not like. Instead of suggesting one item that is a must try, the Omakase Meal is the must try. Whether you are a group of two or more, I personally think the best value on the menu is their Omakase. Depending on how big your party is, depends on how many courses you get. It's great way to try several dishes in one sitting. If you're usually too full to order dessert, you better make room because it is part of the Omakase. I will not guarantee that you will love everything as I do, but if you are a food lover like me, you will appreciate the authenticity of the flavors.

Service was a little slow, but it was understandable given how busy it was tonight. The owner was apologetic, personable, and very kind, which we really appreciated. We ordered the scallop and mushroom risotto and the uni pasta, and both dishes were done really well. The pasta was cooked to perfection and covered in a rich, creamy uni sauce. It came with freshly grated wasabi and nori, which added a fresh kick and extra depth to the dish, really elevating the overall flavor of the pasta. The scallops were seared beautifully and cooked perfectly, maintaining that nice, fresh, bouncy texture. The mushroom risotto was creamy and packed with flavor as well. Everything paired really nicely with the Chardonnay. Would 100% recommend and would definitely come back to try more of the menu!

    I LOVE THIS PLACE…read more Don't let the simple decor fool you - the chicken here is hands down one of the best hole in the wall locations for chicken that I've been to. Unlike your typical rotisserie or fried chicken, this place roasts their chicken in a large clay pot and the marinade is definitely not something that you can find easily. The smell of the chicken is so inviting on its own but you won't be able to smell it outside of the restaurant - gather some confidence and open that door! We got 1 whole chicken, bot chien, crispy rice, and a side of dry noodles. All of the sides are great - I've tried at least 1 option every time I come back here but my favorite is the dry noodles and crispy rice. Their chicken pairs TOOO WELL with the pickled veggies and their special soy sauce. I like mixing a little salt, pepper and lime in mine to make it extra sour but honestly, the chicken is great even without the sauce. It's a small restaurant and flagging down servers is not difficult but I love that they will come to check in on you pretty often without you putting out any effort. I've been here when it was super busy and when it's a little more free, the servers are nice, friendly & really responsive Pro tip : get more than 1 soy sauce!! You DEFINITELY will not be sharing it!

I enjoyed the grilled chicken (3/5) as it was flavorful and their sauces paird nicely, but it wasn't memorable. The hainan chicken was so bad (1/5): the meat was chewy (but not in a good, free-range kind of way) and the skin was falling apart; the rice was incredibly dry and bland. I'd say this was the worst hainan chicken I've ever had. The crisy rice (1/5): the same rice was used for this dish. They just packed a big lump of it and fried it on both sides. So no, it wasn't good either. Servers were polite and friendly, so that's a positive. Also, they charge 3% credit card fee.

We ordered the Papaya Salad, Garlic Chicken Rolls and their Beef Jerky Special. We had a lovely conversation with the owner and she gave us special instructions on how to eat everything, such as eating the jerky with a small ball of sticky rice and sauce, followed by a mouthful of papaya salad as a palate cleanser--We followed those instructions to a T and it was truly enjoyable! For impressions of each Entree: The Papaya Salad is incredible, we ordered it with a mild spice level sauce. It's light, flavorful and refreshing and serves as a perfect palate cleanser if you order it with another item, but having it on its own is perfectly fine as well. The Garlic Chicken Roll was fantastic, crispy roll and tender chicken on the inside. It came with a sweet dipping sauce that had a flavor we weren't expecting but a nice surprise. The Beef Jerky Special: I absolutely love the idea of the beef jerky with a crispy-charred outer shell. My critique would be to dial back the charred-ness a little bit so that it doesn't dominate the center flavor. It goes perfectly well with the sticky rice and the sauce it comes with is really nice. Really great establishment with great customer service, I look forward to visiting again!
