Very disappointed. Ordered 2 bowls with all white chicken . Which you pay more for. The chicken was extremely dry. It was to have veggies. We got 3 carrots, 1 piece of broccoli, 2 pieces of cabbage. Looks like they added more rice to make up for the veggies. I asked twice for onions while on the phone. When I picked it up, I had to ask again before they gave me onions. What's up with all this?? read more

I'll start by saying I screwed up. I ordered online and something I did had me order from a store too far away from work. I called this store to see if there was ANYTHING we could do to cancel my order or get a refund or credit. Any solution would have been ok. I was quickly told " sorry , we have no control with online orders, so we can't refund". Again, I get this was my mistake but I was hoping for some kind of help in this situation and I wasn't given it. I go to WaBa Grill once a week, but honestly after this experience I probably will stop. The " I can't help you" was just too abrupt and I really felt the message was " not our problem". Very disappointing read more

Unbelievable, almost 20 bucks for a single lunch and they want to charge you extra for sauce packets, never again it's not great anyway, very disappointing read more

So I came in on Sunday 8/18/24. I spent close to $30 dollars on food. I asked the host I I could get two Waba sauce packets, she said that I would have to pay for them. Really! You just made a $30 sale and your attitude is pay me more for two packets of Wanda sauce. Very disappointing especially when we as customers have other choices. Waba just lost me as a customer. read more

Came in around closing time on a Thursday evening and the staff let me put in my order. The employee recommended the chicken steak plate ($8), which has marinated chicken and beef over rice with a side salad and fruit. I liked how simple, clean tasting, and flavorful the meat was. The portion sizes were just enough to fill me up, but not enough to split into two separate meals. Overall, good experience. read more

I had the Ribeye steak bowl and the Dumplings and my food was made to perfection. Maria was very helpful in taking my order and very attentive to the other guests. Omar did an excellent job in cooking my steak. Cesar the manager ensured I wasn't missing anything in my meal that I had every sauce I needed. I was blown away by the customer service! I would definitely come back to this restaurant. read more

Probably the worst waba grill ive been too. Meat was over cooked for all my friends and I bowls. Also, someone seemed too lazy to cut up my carrots, I got a total of like 4 HUGE pieces and they were still rock hard. Never make reviews like this but this location was just bad. read more

This was my first visit. Without a group on I prefer Shoguns. Don't get your bowl with veggies, cabbage was super raw. Make sure you put extra sauce on your food if its to go. Thank goodness I had teriyaki sauce at home. Salmon bowl was decent. Miso soup had no tofu?! read more

No this is a terrible place to eat everything is premade and tastes like it is computer printed with a side of teriyaki

The meat tasted ok but the portion size is just so small . It's not worth it unless you buy two portions for each member of your family other wise you are going to be hungry after you ate their small food portions . I attached a picture of what they are considering a side . read more

WaBa Grill - Are you guys for real? - Asian Fusion Near Me - Temecula, California

Went to the Waba Grill on Temecula Parkway (32589?), around 6 pm on Sunday 1/26/20. I ordered the family dinner. The guy at the register said he could not sell the family dinner due to they dIdnt have the trays for the family dinner. I asked him I if he could put the family dinner in other containers. His replied was , " My manager told me I can't use any other containers." How in the hell can u advertise a family dinner without having containers for it? Well this is the fiirst and last time I go there. Lack of managing inventory. Which turns out to be lack of revenue . I would not give any stars for the ratIng, but Yelp doesn't give that option. read more

I've had this spot about 3-4 times in just over a weeks time . Only one of the times the meat seemed pretty dried out, the rest of the times I ordered it went well. The last time we went we ended up getting the family meal and it was actually too much food for 4 of us. Make sure you get the app and start using the rewards , it will end up paying off in the long run ! read more

Went here last night because we haven't been here in a while and it sounded good, and is close to our house. Had the chicken/steak (with veggie's) bowl. Very yummy and fresh. My husband had the steak and rice bowl and he really enjoyed it too. The service was also good and the staff friendly. We will definitely come back here again. read more

Meh. Basic FAST 'health' food . It's better than a Big Mac heart attack grease bomb. They could At least use sustainable serve ware. uninspired . read more

I really love this place, it has amazing food and a wonderful dinning environment. But I don't recommend going there in the evening, I was there yesterday at about 7pm after just getting out of the gym and ordered a rice and veggies salmon bowl and I also asked for the veggies dumplings. I never got the order of dumplings and when my bowl arrived the veggies were very sadly cold. I didn't ask for them to be reheated because I wasn't in the best mood but they should have been heated properly to start with. The teenage staff seemed more concerned about talking about what parties they've been invited to instead of the customers. Still love the food I just hope they don't forget to heat the veggies again :( read more

Very quickly made and healthy, delicious bowls. They are one of our favorite fast food places and they never disappoint. We've tried everything on the menu and enjoy them all! But, our favorites are the chicken & veggie bowl. read more

This WaBa is the worst I've been to. Tonight was the 3rd time I got a bowl with avocado and the didn't put it on. So once again I over paid for chicken broccoli and avocado and they didn't put it on. I guess the jokes on me for not looking until I got home again. So I went back this time and they gave me this stank rotten looking avocado. I looked at the kid while he put it on just to see if he would care that he's putting an over priced nasty looking avocado on my cold bowl...nope! Needless to say, I'm done with all WaBa Grill's but just sharing my experience with this specific location. Two thumbs down. This place is bunk. read more

I never understood why wanna is so stingy on their extra sause packets. It feels like a burden to them if I ask for some. ‍

They don't check their fruits whether they are fresh and asked for brown rice for both plates but got white rice. They soaked up the salad with dressing. There's more dressing than salad. Might as call it soup. Then parts of the salad is old. Then my mom barely had any salad. This place use to be good but as of lately it's been not doing so well. :/ read more

Let me just start with saying that this location has probably the best service and best cooks compared to any location! I always have a weird order and they always kill it. It's always the extra well done and extra chopped up and it's always been on point! Went in today and Maria and Omar were amazing and such a great team! Super friendly people and they always remember my order and my name! Honestly recommend this location just due to the service! Keep it up! read more

This is probably the worst tasting food on Temecula Pkwy. I wasn't expecting much being that it is Asian "fast food", but I couldn't be more upset with the $31 I spent here. Upon entering Waba grill, I was hit with a strong cleanser/ ammonia smell. That alone made me think, how can this not affect the taste of the food. Then, the cashier asked for my order, and they asked if I wanted avocado or onions. I declined the avocado, but said yes to the onion. Thinking that I would have to wait at least 5-10 min, I got all the condiments ready to go. Well in 3 min, my order was ready and I was surprised with the quick service, but shocked that they tried to fit 2 plate boxes and two bowl in one single shopping bag. Luckily I had my daughter to keep the bowls from tipping over. I got home and opened my box and was shocked at how dried out and brown the meat was. I was expecting a fruit salad, but got an orange. I was expecting onions, but only saw green onions- huge difference! Someone needs to notify that cashier. I tasted it and it tasted like beef jerky and overly seasoned. My husband opened his half and half bowl and was surprised to find 3/4 inch of meat and almost 3 inches of rice packed in. It was so hard to eat the rice because it was almost like glue or cement. If I had to compare Waba to Flame Broiler, I can't- there is no comparison. Flame broiler is 100 times better. So in conclusion, their sign said it was fresh- not! For meat to cook in 3 min, I've only seen that done in the microwave. They say that it is healthy- not! The seasoning alone was probably as much sugar as 2 sodas. On a good note, the Orange was sweet. Safe to say, we'll never be back. And such a shame , because I was waiting for a healthy alternative on Temecula Pkwy. read more

I have nothing bad to say about waba grill. It's pretty straight forward. It's rice and teriyaki meat in a bowl. We usually stick to the chicken. The rice is consistently cooked the same as well as the chicken. My husband usually gets the steak and likes it. And he is very picky when it comes to chewy meat. He said it is tender and delicious. read more

There is such loud music playing in the kitchen that you cant here what the cashier is saying when placing an order. Mix the music with tv in the dining area and the excessive chopping and slamming of the rice canisters all left for an unpleasant experience for the paying customer. I won't be back. read more

pearl is awesome! I work right across the way at sprouts and she always is such a kind face to see. I know when I call to place an order and walk over she is gonna have my food ready quickly too. thanks for your hard work! it doesn't go unnoticed! read more

Do not go to this Waba Grill!! Employees are rude!! Absolutely the rudest employee. Have been here about 3 tines, the are stingy with the Waba sauce where other locations are not. They have put labels on all their bottles not allowing them on the outside tables. Today we stopped in and walked to the register and the Mgr said "it will be 10 minutes before they could take our order, we sat down then another group of 3 came up to order and he took their order. We walked out!! What the heck kind of customer service is this!! read more

To the owner of Waba Grill. Your employees seem to not know how to follow instructions. Four times I've been there I ask for my wife's food Waba Grill chicken, brown rice, beef, veggies no sauce. Every time I go home my wife yells at me because I didn't look at the order right . Today they messed up again. They added all beef plus sauce with white rice. I took it back to them and said hey it's wrong I read the instructions again to we read it together second time chicken beef with sauce brown rice. I get the guy's attention and say hey it's messed up again it has that brown sauce my wife hates . he makes it again he's frustrated this time around and it seems to be right. I get home and guess what. My wife now has white rice,chicken ,beef veggies. My wife wanted Brown rice. Oh and in my order I had brown rice and I hate Brown rice. This happened to me for visits I tell my wife and she said the same thing happens to her on her last visit. read more

Had lunch here today and I really enjoyed it. The staff was attentive and nice. The selections of meat were: chicken, beef, and salmon. (Healthy and fresh like flame broiler.) Personally, I like having the option of salmon and their hot sauce tastes more like Sriracha than Tabasco, which I'm not a fan of. Husband got the chicken bowl and I got the salmon plate and a drink and the total came out to $17.81. Not bad for lunch! The only issue I had was that the dinning area is always packed! They really need to consider putting tables and chairs out in front for more seating since inside seating is cramped enough as it is. Added plus is that it's next door to golden spoon in case you are craving something sweet after your meal. read more

Two thumbs down for this restaurant! I ordered the salmon and was given the thinest, overcooked(burned) fishiest piece of salmon I've ever had in my life. If I wasn't already on the road driving back to Oceanside I would have asked for my money back. I still want my money back absolutely disappointed and disgusting. Also the carrots weren't even cut!! They basically gave me a whole carrot like wtf?! I will never return or recommend this lazy disgusting establishment. Top grill in Murrieta is 100000% better and cheaper. Never again read more

Waba Grill is a pretty mediocre spot to get some protein and rice in. The chicken was good, the rice was good of course, but I will say I thought the steak was just beef jerky thrown on the grill for a second. The customer service was fast But, not the most friendly. I didn't feel very welcome at this location. read more

This waba grill cannot compare to others, it left me crying when i left my butthole did not feel the best i would recommend going to another one. Definitely not coming here again. The drinks tasted water downed read more

I've been going back there a few times in recent weeks after a long hiatus just to get away from other high fat and calorie eateries. I think they're fantastic in good quality and service. Read a bad review about a female employee with a bad attitude but haven't seen her and good for her because I don't deal with rude employees under any circumstance. Hope she's at Wendy's now. The only complaint I have is when I ordered the shrimp bowl with rice. I thought it came with veggies but it didn't but that was my fault. It's just a little pricey for six shrumps and rice. Put veggies in your shrump bowls yo! read more

I ordered delivery which was very timely. The food is pretty good except the shrimp. I ordered an extra shrimp skewer and all I got were these two little pieces of shrimp. It's a shame, if I would have known that's where an extra $2.5 gets me, I would have saved my money. read more

In waba grill, food was a little different then most other locations. Left my stomach doing summersaults. Crap attack like no other. Definitely scared for my well being read more

Rude, rude, rude customer service Makayla. Would not accept $100 bill for an order of almost $40 because they said they only accept new bills (my guess is because they can't hire people smart enough to use a counterfit pen). Apparently this globalist run corporation is above Federal Laws and currency exchange policies. To top it all off, after I decided to take my business elsewhere she refused to give me my money back and a guy from the back had to set her straight. With all the amazing eateries popping up I have no need or desire to give this place my business. I went to Baja Catch across the parking lot and enjoyed a nice lunch and great customer service. Don't bother with this place. read more

This place is my favorite my boyfriend took me for the first time and I always order the chicken teriyaki bowl or the salmon dinner plate!! services good one girl isn't too friendly last time I went but the other guys are really nice very quick I like the surf look.
