Greeted and ordered a Spicy Chicken bowl and Beef bowl with rice. Received within minutes. The workers gave me extra sauces of my liking. Great presentation when received. It was actually pretty good. The fountain sodas were refillable. No complaints. Overall this place is good. The workers are nice which treated you with a sense of respect. Not in the greatest neighbor hood. Traffic is loud and parking is tight, all pending the time you go. This location surprised me with their clean restrooms! A+ to that accommodation!! Kudos! Place is good, neighborhood is sketchy. If you can deal with that. You have no worries. read more

I love this place. It's the closest one by my house. I don't mind driving 10 minutes to get my favorite food

Great service all the time.im always order thru the app for fast pick up. Taco trio affordable option and delicious.

Wanna chicken and steak bowls with white rice is delicious . The service was okay . Background music.

The food at this Waba Grill location is delicious and always fresh. Staff is friendly and welcoming. This is by far my favorite location because they always get the order right and maintain a clean, positive atmosphere. I highly recommend this spot. read more

10/27/2025 at 5pm they put an expired avocado in my bowl. Whoever made this should be ashamed of themselves. This is pitiful. Go to a different location. read more

I've never had Waba as far as I could remember.. I decided to tie a mini plant based bowl. Not bad. Would I order it again.. yes. Not a fan of the location but it's close to work. Way better than the competitor for sure. Satisfied read more

Love the bowls here so fresh. Service is always great and on time. The restaurant always feels clean when I visit on my lunch. I really enjoy getting my bowls from this location. read more

Super friendly service and delicious dishes! All the ingredients were really fresh. I definitely recommend them.

This WaBa is not in the best location, but if you in Torrance, stop there. The food is great and they could use the business. WaBa is a chain and there are a few in LA, but we like this one. It is never crowded and the food is always fresh and hot. They mostly have bowls there and you can get vegetarian, chicken, shrimp and beef. They may also has Tofu, but I am not sure. Every bowl we have had is great. I love the shrimp bowl. It has a great sauce on the shrimp and the rice goes so well with it. It also have veggies--ask them-and that makes for a great dinner. Their chicken and steak bowls are also super. The meat is tender and, again, it is always served hot and fresh. The rice is never dry and always soft. They also have drinks and a few other things. Parking is easy in the front. I have never seen it crowded. The service is very nice and fast. read more

Waba has good food, I feel like their food is healthier than a lot of places. It's not greasy, I would recommend Waba if you are looking for something quick and healthy. read more

Took 20 minutes for my food. Gave me the wrong thing twice. Asked for a waba bowl got a chicken plate (Only got charged the bowl tho) I informed I got no steak and they remade it. I'm grateful for the larger portion I didn't get charged for but y'all messed up the order 2x technically and took 20/30 mins for my lunch. I'll skip this location in the future.... Oh also when my wrong order was done the first time it was just sitting there though I mentioned I wanted it for here. Everyone after me ordered and got food and I had to ask where my food was. Terrible service for a waba location. read more

We tried Waba Grill for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I really liked what I got which was the steak and chicken bowl. My boys said the food was just mid. I would come back for the bowl if it was closer to my house, but 5 miles is too far to drive. read more

People were nice, but the food was subpar. Both chicken and beef were so dry and even the rice was sad. Won't be going there again.

If you're tired of going to the same healthy options over and over and over. Try WaBa. The salad with extra beef is SO good. It's a huge salad with almonds that add so much flavor. Great fresh food, great salad. Next time I'm starving at lunch or even dinner and I want a lot of food without the calories I'll be here again and again. read more

WaBa Grill - The steak/beef salad w extra beef. Pretty darn good. Loved the almonds! - Fast Food Near Me - Torrance, California

Came here April 28th around 6:20 pm and ordered my food it was all well till they took 25 plus minutes to put rice and chicken together and still give me attitude when I requested for things. What a shame..... read more

Prissila A was super nice and sweet And good is good She explained about my reward and how I can use them read more

The girls who work the front are usually always so so nice and welcoming, but the young girl working today at 7:30pm ish was very unwelcoming and rude. I called ahead to place my order and after finishing & saying thank you she literally just hung up on me but I thought okay it doesn't matter. When I actually walked inside and said I was here for my order she was very standoffish but I thought okay understands because I know they closed soon, but after actually getting in my car and looking at my order I saw I have very very little steak on my bowl and that just did it for me. It isn't fair for her to think that it's okay to be rude to people AND not fulfill their order properly. I recommend you try a different waba read more

My wife had a WIC appointment today and I've been driving all day. She told me to try waba and so I went for it. I had the salmon plate and it was a great deal.

WaBa Grill - Fast Food Near Me - Torrance, California

My first visit, I ordered the steak & white rice vegetable bowl and my guest ordered the shrimp, rice vegetable bowl. Both were ready within a few minutes. This was a take out , for a local sports park. 2 hours later, they both were still warm, and our food was good. The steak was tender and delicious. I recommend this restaurant. I gave it a 4, due to being dated, and is a older facility. read more

WaBa Grill is awesome. I used to frequent Flame Broiler quite a bit, maybe once or twice a month...until I found this place. Honestly, the quality of the food is the same to me but there are maybe two subtle differences that lead me to frequent this place more often: (1) green onions - I like green onions on my chicken bowl (lots), at WaBa there are unlimited green onions on the counter for you to add yourself, and (2) hot sauce - there are two hot sauces at this location - their regular hot sauce and a Louisiana hot sauce. Since I like my bowl loaded with green onions and a mix of both hot sauces, this is the place for me. Sorry Flame Broiler, we had our run. As for the food, it's on par with Flame Broiler. It's chicken and rice, or beef and rice, or salmon and rice. Maybe a salad. I stick with the basic chicken bowl with brown rice and I've never been done wrong. Simple and delicious. As far as other things go, this place just opened within the last year so things are still clean. Service is fine and no hassle and there is really nothing else to complain about. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a cheap meal that is relatively healthy and fast. read more

l love this place! If you haven't yet already, please try the salmon bowl + avocado! I come here every time I want to eat healthier.

Was in the mood for some good Teriyaki so decided to give Waba grill a try. Waba grill has opened up bang next to my favorite Panaderia in a plaza shared by a coin laundry, dominos and Habana Vieja cuban place so parking is always tight but you manage to get a spot. At the peak lunch hour on Saturday the place was absolutely empty save the server behind the counter. I walked in to the counter and started reading the menu to figure out what to get while the server behind stood like a stone statue without offering any suggestions. I went with the chicken and steak plate ($7.99 + tax) which comes with rice, salad and a slice of orange. My takeaway was ready in five minutes. Taste wise it was a complete failure. The chicken was dry and cubed into small pieces. The beef felt bland, stringy and undercooked. The salad was just sad. The rice was of cheap quality and did not have any sesame seeds or similar dressing to enhance its flavor. I went through the motions of eating what I had got as I was hungry but was totally disappointed. Have to find another decent Teriyaki place near by as I have no intention of returning to Waba grill again. read more

I ordered Waba grill and order the Chicken Family Meal ALL white meat, they delivered 15 mins late I did not get white meat they gave me dark the dumplings were burnt cold and soggy and my food was sorta cold too. I called to complain and they were already closed. I had too throw away the food because my family and I do not eat dark meat and had to order somewhere else . I called on Monday to corporate and they told me I was going to get my refund In 48 hrs and I still not gotten anything. This was my first time trying Waba grill and my last. Lousy food and lousy service . I feel I got whatever it was left since they were closing . read more

I first came here when it first opened, and didn't care much for it... it was my first time trying Waba Grill. I recently went again a couple of more times... and have realized I just don't like their beef... but I do like their chicken! My fav. dish here is the Vegetable Chicken Bowl. read more

WaBa Grill - Vegetable chicken bowl - Fast Food Near Me - Torrance, California

This WaBa Grill is my favorite. They always provide the best service, and their food is always made with consistence. I always order the half-half veggie bowl with brown rice. This is half chicken and half beef. The bowl is always so full, that it usually makes two meals for me. Food isn't too salty. You can add more sauce if you like. Their WaBa sauce kinda reminds me of teriyaki and hoisen sauce mix. It's really tasty! On the counter, you can add green onions to your order, and they also offer spicy pickled carrots with jalapenos. Nearby is extra WaBa sauce and hot sauce (sorta like sriacha). You can also help yourself to plastic-ware, straws, toothpicks, salt, pepper. The staff is very friendly and the establishment is always very clean. Orders don't often take very long, but if you're ordering quite a bit, call ahead. They have a good amount of tables/chairs, but during lunch hours, it gets pretty busy. I'm a fan, so I'm a regular. Good food, good staff! read more

Went there again recently, and I must say it was a vast improvement. The service was much better, and they got the vent system working properly as it was a pleasure to eat there. I still didnt order the beef. read more

Service was great, nice cashier. Meat: Chicken leaves a lot be desired, fatty pieces of chicken and not a lot of it. Veg: carrots, broc, lettuce...steamed ok Rice: it was rice; nothing to rave about. All in all not worth the $7 for a little cup of rice, couple small fatty pieces of chicken and few slices of carrots and broc. If it was $3 total, I'd say it's OK but at $7; don't bother read more

The cook cutting our food was not wearing his face mask properly. His nose was exposed and he was breathing over the food he was preparing. Because he had gone off to the grill, I told the counter person to let him know. She said she would take care of it. I waited outside, looking through their storefront window, but she never did anything. read more

Good food and friendly staff I'll definitely go here again. They made the food fast and they were all in a good mood

Nice and friendly people ,the food was a really good chicken was delicious thanks all to create this concept in the food industry !!!

I had never heard of or tried Waba Grill until my dad told me about it and wanted to try it out when this place opened up near us. If you've heard of or tried The Flame Broiler it is very familiar. I enjoyed my first experience with this place, they had great service. It was obvious my dad and I were first timers since we looked at their menu for a bit from a distance so we offered a printed menu and a brief explanation of what they had to offer. They even gave us some coupons for a free chicken or beef bowl with the purchase of any plate, which was awesome. So we ended up ordering their #5 Chicken Salad Plate, #12 Half-Half bowl (Steak-Chicken), and I used my coupon for their #10 Chicken bowl. Overall it was good, however I really liked their steak as oppose to their chicken and I am a chicken lover. So I'm recommending the steak instead if you don't know which of the two to choose from. They also offer rib, shrimp, and salmon. I would go back to this place. And if so, I'd either order some more of their steak or I'd try their rib plate/bowl with brown rice and added avocado. read more

The girl cashier was rude and unprofessional She appeared irritated that i came in and put in an order. Then she kept talking in Spanish to the other staff. When I picked up my order,she rolled her eyes and said there's your food and proceed to walk away. Didn't offer any condiments whatsoever. Will not be returning to this location again! read more

My go to is the sweet and spicy chicken! The flavors are good and the customer service skills are excellent!

Super hot and fresh rice bowls. Chicken, steak, mix, it's all good. The steamed veggies rock in their waba sauce.

I don't go here often but when I do it's always good.... clean and friendly staff. Good menu selection. I like the fact that I can get the chicken bowl with white meat. read more

Staff is friendly, dining area is spacious & clean. I absolutely love that you can get a teriyaki bowl with the option of substituting for more veggies. I also like that this place offers brown rice. Flame Broiler is the only other place that offers that. My usual go to for teriyaki is Tokyo Grill, but the sauce from here is comparable. Will probably return in the future! read more
