    Definitely not the most welcoming place to dine at. In a nutshell it's a notch below Flame Broiler in pretty much every aspect. The fact they don't have serve yourself sauce really puts WaBa into mid at best territory. - stingy with sauce packets. - "we're not happy working here" vibes.

    Rotten Broccoli

    I am appalled, this is the absolute worst place and most horrible food I have ever encountered. The broccoli was rotten and the food was cold, stale and old. Right now I am sick to my stomach and I threw most of it away. I spent nearly $50, a waste of hard earned money. I don't know if she is the manager, but you are not kind or warm to your customers or your employees. I heard how you spoke to one of your employees and it was disrespectful. I will never visit this place again, I can't even call it a restaurant.

    Vegetarian "Beef" plate
    Elle J.

    Nice option for vegetarians! They have tofu plates and fake beef plates. If you are a fan of the Trader Joe's fake beef strips then you'll like the beef strips here! Really good! I knocked a star off because the fake steak could have been cooked just a bit more. However it was still yummy! The salad was surprisingly good and they are generous with the avocado when you upgrade your plate to include it. The portion is pretty big and I was able to get almost two meals out of one plate. In all, I would go here again. I think next time I'll sub out my orange for more salad!

    I was excited to see a sign on their window that advertised plant-based steak bowls. I am always down for some good plant-based or vegan dishes and thought this was a great opportunity to try Waba Grill. I ordered my bowl and chose the brown rice and vegetables to go with my plant based protein. My Bowl was ready in about 5 mins. It looked great. The rice and vegetables looked and tasted fresh. The protein wasn't bad at all. The texture was great but I was turned off by the overly sweet and salty teriyaki sauce. Overall, it wasn't bad and I would probably try something different next time.

    I asked for a side of chicken
    Regina S.

    Well today I was sorely disappointed in the serving size. This is a side of chicken for over five dollars in a very small bowl. It basically comes down to a few bites and that's it. The other times I've gotten just a side order it's actually fit in a white container and been a nice amount. I don't know what the cook was thinking. Maybe he's been told to just give a scant amount of anything. I'll probably be needing to get chicken elsewhere then if this is what it's like. Because you totally ripped me off

    I just an order with miso soup with tofu, but unfortunately What happened with your miso soup today it has rice in the soup.

    Met up for lunch for a belated birthday lunch celebration for our brother. It was our first time…read moremeeting up for the New Year (January), and birthday boy chose Mongol House. It was a little hard to find the restaurant, especially since the sign is not right over the entrance, but just next to it where the small market is. Look for the Winchester Center sign next to the market. Since we arrived before it opened on a Sunday, we browsed in the market until it was tine to eat. We had a reservation for 6 of us, so they seated us at the one round table near the front. There is another longer table next to it on the left side where there's a colorful mural. The rest of the tables are booths. The restaurant is spacious and roomy and very clean. You can order items from the menu or build your own hot pot which is AYCE. Everyone in our party chose the hot pot. We were each brought a small blue pot that contained the sterno to heat up the soup and the broth of our choice inside. We also placed our meat order with our server. We went to the back-left corner to grab our veggies, and some other things to add to our hot pot. Our server came by often to take more meat orders, clear empty plates, and check if we needed more broth or if our sterno needed more fuel. Our server was delightfully cheerful and friendly. She was helpful and answered all of our questions, especially when we had to choose our broths. (Forgive me for forgetting your name!) I highly recommend calling ahead to make a reservation if you have a larger party. Accessibility notes: most of the tables are padded booths. If you can transfer and slide, you should be okay. Otherwise, see if you can sit at a table that has chairs on the left side. The restaurant is spacious enough to park your mobility aid (or stroller for babies) near you. The restrooms are located in the back-left corner, 2 single stall restrooms, one for men and one for women. There is enough room for someone to enter with their mobility aid and a helper companion. You can enter the restaurant without climbing a step, but I don't recall where the handicap accessible parking was since we used a regular parking space and I climbed up the curb. No one from the family is local, but my brother-in-law chose this restaurant because it's somewhere where we can meet in the middle. We all loved it, and are adding it to our rotation when we need to come together for a celebration.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. I had the Panang Curry and Thai Fried Rice. Both on the spicier scale, 3 curry, 4 rice out of 5. The curry flavor was very enjoyable. It could use a little more variation of vegetable but when I make it at home I like lots of veggies. The Thai Fried Rice was good, spicy, and I am not sure if it was on purpose but the great variation of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, grean) allowed each bite to be distinctive based on what the pepper added. There were not too many but I thought they added to the dish. My only question was the interior design. It is aged, and just pedestrian. Maybe a more up to date vibe isn't needed, but I think it could add to a location that had amazing food. Still 5 stars on the dining and a sleeper for great food.
