Love this place waba bowls are delicious .food is always on point . Place is always clean . Love the fact that you can see the cook grill the food and cut in front of you read more

Food is always good. Service is questionable. Did not particularly find it appealing to place my order with someone who chews gum... especially when chewing like a cow. No thanks. I will drive farther to avoid that again! read more

No cooking last night and I decided to bring my family for the first time to WaBa Grill in Temecula. Management, I've expressed to the cashier that this is our first time to the place and unfamiliar with their food. And I asked if I can sample a small bite of both the chicken and the beef and we go from there- either I like either one and stay OR just leave and find another place. Me and family loves grilled and at the same time like locavores who wants to support local. To my surprise, the leader or man manager came ( maybe the manager) and said no we don't give any sample and looked at me like I'm crazy. But I don't want to create a scene because I am with my daughter & husband, and witnessed embarrassment. Our excitement to try their WABA GRILL FOOD turned an UNFORTUNATE EVENT. We ended at ordering at our own risk. We ended up ordering their signature plates combination of chicken and beef. We sat down and eat. We wasted our monies for our undelightful dinner. We were hoping to establish a bowl food that we love so we can just keep coming back . They do have nice pictures on display, I give the that. Service is an F, they need to be trained and one thing I noticed, they didn't acknowledged or welcome us when we came in. And no, there was only 1 person eating, so it was not busy. I love HANA SUSHI, always warm and makes you feel welcome. And this place will never be on our list. In the past, i handled and trained managers to be in food establishments, sampling is a huge thing. Go to the food court at promenade, they sample to bring in people. Hope you see the concept. Franchise is a privilege and if you are the owner, this is my 2 cents for improvement. Customer is always right and I am not requesting anything impossible. We remained courteous at all times. read more

You can order by phone and pick up when you are ready! great healthy, quick dinner or lunch meal. Cooked fresh and you can see them make it as you wait! I recommend using the Waba sauces on the side with some green onions! My go to place! read more

Simple, fast, healthy. I like this place. Recently had water damage in my kitchen so cooking at home has been out of the question for the last 3 weeks. This place has been clutch, allowing me to eat healthy in a pinch. The plates are enough food for more than one meal. read more

WaBa is ok. The place is pretty clean and customer service is great. It claims to be healthy, but that is all dependent upon what you order. The rice bowls come with lots of rice which is good, but high in carbs if you wanna be real. This place reminds me of Flame Broiler. The sauce and hot sauce really make the meal. Get green onions on top for more flavor! I like how there are options other that chicken and steak as well. read more

Freshly prepared, good brown rice, staff is friendly. What can I say...Waba is a much healthier alternative to Panda.

Ridiculously delicious. Always a must go to when I am in the area. Best waba grill out of the bunch. I recommend the chicken bowl with avocado. Delicious. read more

This is one of my favorites when I'm try to eat well but tonight after my workout I stopped in for a to go order. They were getting busy. I took my bag drove all the way home and realized they messed up the order I called and they took my name and # we'll see I didn't feel like driving all the way back. The Ynez location has never messed up my order read more

This place is pretty good I've been here a couple of times and got a chicken veggie bowl but I have to say this time I was very disappointed I called in and order a beef veggie bowl with no rice and extra veggies. I guess extra veggies means fill the bowl up with cabbage and nothing else there was literally 3 pieces of broccoli and 3 pieces of Carrots in the whole bowl so I guess I should be more specific next time and ask for extra broccoli and carrots other than that it's a good place to eat read more

Food is great, always getting a lot more with what you pay for. I've had the steak, chicken and salmon and they always taste fresh. Be sure to call ahead to expedite the service. They always seem to have great promos with the circulars we receive in the mail. read more

They get 2 stars only because we like the food but this location is a joke! We came in at 645 on a Saturday to a bunch of employees standing around on there phones and the lobby was filthy. One employee kept using her hand to put beef back and forth between our bowls to apparently even it out, she had a glove on but did this not look good. Then as we ate a female employee walks by and lets out a huge burp. We will never visit this location again!! read more

I've been to so many Waba Grills, this one gives you soo much rice than your choice of meat. So much for a healthier lifestyle when all they wanna serve you is rice and skimp out on the meat. read more

Waba grill is an amazing place to eat healthy and socialize with your friends. The atmosphere is great and the staff is friendly and well knowledgeable about their menu. I never wait longer than I need to for fast service. This location is always clean and inviting. I have to say the food is delicious , I always get the salmon bowl and it's perfect!! Always cooked fresh and cooked right!! I love Waba grill , it's one of the best healthy eating restaurants in Temecula !!! #waba4life Thanks Waba grill for always keeping up on yummy food and a friendly staff, you guys rock!!! read more

Service is horrendous. Food is okay. Been here twice - both times a disappointment. I don't get the hype. Won't be back.

Horrible service.. Arrived 20 minutes prior to closing and was immediately told by the cashier that the restaurant would be closing soon. We ordered our food and sat down. A gentleman came around and turned off the TV while we were watching it. They began putting all the chairs up and locked the restrooms so we couldn't use them. We even heard them talking about us behind the counter. They then began cleaning everything with strong cleaners (smelt like Lysol). We felt very unwelcome and will not be back!!!! read more

I could eat here everyday! My favorite is the Steak plate with brown rice and I always get avocado on it... Yummy! I like that it's a healthy option too! Great tasting and guilt free!!! Oh and don't forget to try the cookies too! They are AMAZING! read more

I called to place an order to pick up and he put me on hold. I was probably waiting for a good 10 minutes and he clearly forgot about me. So I hung up. I have been trying to call back for the past 10 minutes and no one is answering. I love their food but hate their crappy customer service. read more

Ate here today got the chicken plate very tasty good service clean place friendly people.

Meh. The food was okay. I got the signature "WaBa Plate" and the chicken and steak was cooked correctly and the portion was just enough to fill me up, which I enjoyed. The reason I wouldn't come back to this particular location was the bad customer service. I explained to the young lady up front that it was my first time and if she had any recommendations for me. A simple, "this is our most popular dish because..." would have been a sufficient answer. Instead I got a, "I don't know... everything really." And it wasn't really even the extremely vague answer as much as it was her facial expression and body language. Like she was annoyed that I was even there asking her questions about the menu. The audacity this customer has! Asking me questions about FOOD as if I work at a FOOD restaurant! Oh... wait... I'm sorry, but there are a billion of other places to eat on Temecula Park Way. If as a new customer, my business isn't appreciated, I'm more than happy to take my money elsewhere. read more

I always got the combo and the last two times I got it the beef was chopped so fine it looked like ground beef, and it was over seasoned. It didn't even come close to their pictures. And no seasoning on the little salad and thew veges were dry and like rubber. Not sure about the location on Ynez but too far. read more

The chicken is pretty good. But they are constantly messing up our orders & forgetting things. Three times we have ordered for pick up only to find when we get home & open the bowls something is wrong or missing. Frustrating!! read more

This place is going down hill. The chicken tastes like it's been reheated. I ordered and paid extra for a chicken bowl with white meat. Instead I got a bowl with fatty pieces of dark meat mixed with white. So gross. read more

This is my first time trying this restaurant and when I came in the restaurant was clean the restroom were neat and clean the employees were nice and serve me well the food was really good I will be coming back to you guys soon I give them a 5 stars read more

This place is great. If you get a chance go there. They have brown rice which is a must for me. The girl that took the order was very pleasant and the food was sooo good. read more

I got the half and half with chicken and beef. Both meats and sauce were delicious. Like Yoshinoya used to be. Only complaint is the should have plastic forks that are able to penetrait the broccoli and cabbage without bending and curling read more

We just left the gym and we were trying to decide what to get in the parking lot. As we walked up to the door they closed (8pm on Sundays) Oscar the manager told us to not worry about it and let us come in and order. Awesome customer service to him and his crew. Thank you Oscar, Martin and Caleb for staying to make our food! read more

Our family loves this place! I love that it's fast but also a healthy option for my kids. Never had a bad meal or service. Their sauce is sooooo good we catch ourselves craving it. read more

Customer service: This was my boyfriend and I's 2nd time at this location. I have to say that we are very clean healthy people, and although we have eaten here once before... We do not remember the way the "healthy" chicken was prepared. I always eat salmon wherever we go, so I wouldn't know that it's extremely fatty and gross. This time I didn't eat, my bf wanted 2 proteins so he went with a salmon bowl and extra chicken on the side. When we got the chicken my bf said if he knew it would be more fat than protein he would have gotten more salmon. I decided to take the bowl of fatty chicken up to the girl working the register - let me just add - there were 5 or 6 employees total and only my bf and I in there. I politely asked the girl to please replace the chicken with the salmon and I would pay the difference.... The blank stare and quiet attitude already pushed me. I would understand if it was busy, or I was asking for free food, but we were clearly not pleased. My apologies for wasting food...never my intention. However, to be considered healthy the meat should be clean and not covered in fat. Customer service is everything. Smile and be kind. Be respectful and unless someone is being rude or unpleasant to you, don't be blank and dumbfounded. You never know who's crossing your path. Thanks. read more

Went there for the first time. The service was very good. Everyone went out of their way to be friendly. The food was OK. The portion sizes were OK. The pricing was reasonable. It did not leave me craving to come back again. I will be back again, but only if I happen to be in that plaza and I'm struggling to make a decision on a restaurant. I will not make a special trip. It was not a bad experience. I simply was expecting a little better. read more

Worst waba I've been to. The chicken was mostly fat so gross. The place was very small & have packets of waba sauce.... I like being able to get my own sauces. I only went here because the people I was with wanted to go i don't plan on coming back to this establishment. read more

If you have food allergies stay away! They use the same cutting board for fish, steak and chicken! Oh yeah, and same knife! Too bad because I was really looking forward to this new place in town. I tried to talk to a manager and some kid heard me out and that was it. read more

Healthy options. The steak, chicken and salmon are all yummy and fresh. extra green onions and jalapenos are there to add to your meal. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. VERY CLEAN restaurant. read more

Not sure what this other person is talking about. I work on Temecula Prkwy and am new to the area. I really wanted flame broiler or something of that category. Driving around I stumbled upon this beauty. And I am super happy i did. I really didn't want anything fast food but wanted it to be quick. I walked in and ordered the 16 I think. Chicken and veggies, was asked if I wanted brown or white rice, onions and a drink. I was in and out with in 7 minutes probably less. And honestly when your on a schedule every second counts. I sat down to eat and it was delicious. The chicken did seem slightly over. Cooked but not inedible. And it would be nice if it was bigger. The small area makes for a very awkward huddle of people waiting for food. I'll for sure be back. Thanks Aqaba for being my lunch savior. read more

Wow!!! Great food. I ordered the half and half chicken/beef bowl and was very pleased. The portion could be easily shared between two people. The staff was very pleasant. I'll be back and definitely recommend to my friends and family. read more

First time here. Food is so yummy!! I'll be back. Loved it. My daughter and grand kids loved it tii

Have been here many times with my family. Always nice and friendly staff and quick service. Food is always fresh and its nice to have another healthy option in town. read more

I LOVE Waba Grill. The Beef plate with brown rice is awesome. We always get an extra bowl for breakfast. My husband adds eggs and he is good to go. I would give 5 stars but I don't care for the new salad change. Before a mix lettuces and a great dressing, but the new salad is kale (which I like too) but its very plain. Otherwise with the previously salad and dressing it was 5 stars!!! A perfect combination of savory beef and nutty rice and the previous salad was crisp and dressing cut through the richness. I always call in my order and its ready to go, the staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

This place is great for cheap, healthy food. Just grilled meat, vegetables, and rice. They are as "fast" as "fast food," but a healthy alternative. read more

The best rice bowls I've ever had. My daughter loves the steak kids bowls and loves that it comes with a apple juice. She would eat here daily if she could. read more
