first time here and I would say its just OKAY! I came here with a friend who enjoys their food. I got the combo with rice and I thought it was just okay. Not a favorite or something I would consider coming back to. It is filling. Their sauce is good. staff were nice. read more

The chicken here is a small dry serving. I don't know why as a chain their quality is so terrible when the Camarillo location is good and a decent serving size. I won't be back. read more

My daughter just picked up 3 bowls this evening. The brown rice is undercooked and seems old. Also, the vegetables are practically raw and there was hardly any chicken in any of our bowls. I tried calling to have a conversation about it, but no one answered the phone. Food is expensive so this was the last time for WaBa. read more

Friendly, clean, tastes fresh, fast, and good value. We eat here once a month or so and will continue to come back.

I wish I could give a zero star. We ordered pasta with chicken, but they brought us beer instead. We ordered two pasta and one pizza. The waiter brought our pastas without any utensils or napkin or anything. I wonder they eat their pasta with hands.We got our own forks and napkins. They charged you in advance. I wish I didn't pay the tip. Our pizza didn't come for 30 min which we requested the refund since we already shared the pastas and ate them. The lemonades we ordered tasted horrible (homemade based on their menu). It was a really terrible experience we had on the 4th of July. Hope the management read my review and do something about their horrible service. Don't go there people. read more

WaBa Grill is a solid chain. This location is the most conveniently located to my work so I usually find myself stopping here when I'm craving something fast and healthier. Pros: the food always tastes fresh & is usually cooked to order. My favorite bite here is the Waba bowl (teriyaki chicken and beef) over rice. Add some dumplings with spicy sauce and I'm all set. Also the pricing is reasonable and under $15. The staff and friendliness are usually pretty good here. I'd say if I've been here 15 times only once was the service bad but that was on a weekend. I almost always come during lunch on a weekday and the gentlemen that are working are nice and effective. Quick to get out orders. Cons: anyone else feel judged for asking for extra sauce? lol. I wish they would just keep the sauce over the counter for customers to grab packets. And yes, I get there are annoying people out there that take too much but I'd like to think the general public are just taking what they need, like I do. Every time I go I always have to ask for extra and sometimes it seems to inconvenience the staff. Or they'll throw in one despite asking for two. Don't know what the deal with the sauce is but always seems like it's being rationed lol. I miss pre covid when you could just scoop your own sauce. Last con: at this location the parking is rough. At lunchtime it's usually pretty hard to find parking close to the shop or if you do find parking it's really snug! Sometimes I can't take a spot up front because it's just too tight. Nothing this restaurant can do about it but I note it because it does make it more challenging for customers to get in and out. read more

Went in on Saturday 3/24 at around 6pm to try to place an order and the lady would not even turn around to greet us or even take our order when I asked her to. I waited about five minutes before I walked out horrible customer service will never come back there again. read more

I don't get how this place is open. We didn't like our food at all! The food tastes like it's pre frozen and warmed up in the microwave. Seriously not good food! The restaurant is so small with a few chairs, the restroom looked like a restroom from a gas station. It was just rubbed down. The service was ok. It was nothing fantastic. read more

Came to buy food and the guy cooking did not take my order. He directed me to use the kiosk machine. So much for customer service.

Tasty food, quick service, and not all that expensive. I only have one complaint and it's the contents of the Waba sauce, I uploaded the picture shows the ingredients you don't have to go very far down the list before you see things that are very definitely not fit for human consumption. I would eat here all the time if it didn't occur to me that I was being poisoned, just a little bit, every time. read more

This is my favorite teriyaki bowl spot! I always appreciate the food and the service when visiting one and this spot continues that trend. The food is fresh and it's a great way to eat clean. I get the WaBa Bowl w/ veggies and brown rice and I get white meat chicken (which cost a little extra but is worth it). Make sure you get green onions and extra WaBa sauce to complete the meal. I definitely recommend checking this spot out. read more

First time eating here and it was terrible. $15 for a dried out small thin piece of salmon and some cheap rice. And the $10 chicken bowl was SO dry. Horrible quality meats. Will not be eating here again. Only gave it a 2 because the shrimp taco was ok. read more

I came here for a quick late lunch the other day for the first time (@ this location). The cashier was really helpful and friendly and entered my requests with ease (brown rice/tofu/veggie bowl sauce on the side). My food was ready very quickly and it was delicious! The tofu was cooked just right and the veggies were soft enough without being mush. I sat by the window & ate it there. Asked for a lid as I couldn't finish it and they were quick to give me one. This is a small Waba, as most of them are, and it was clean and well lit with plenty of natural light as well. The service was great and the food was excellent. Will definitely return to this location! read more

WaBa Grill - An old sign - Fast Food Near Me - Ventura, California

Every time I come here and I order my steak bowl I ask for no sauce and they say it comes with sauce, but I've been to other locations and it always comes without the sauce. Also, they are very stingy with side sauces and meat. Especially, the meat; they do not put enough meat in the bowls. VERY STINGY and the male cook that's there in the days is rude. He is always there and never puts enough meat in the bowls. Not coming here again. Always have a bad experience here. read more

Worst customer service ever !!! If you want to waste your money & time then come here . They know nothing about customer service. I asked the only guy working to remake my order because the chicken was very chewy & hard & he was just calling a manager over the phone & the idiot told him to make me wait 30 mins until the manager was able to come to handle this situation?? Are you kidding me !!! A remake ?? Had to leave because I had already wasted 30 mins of my time . read more

I ordered my entree and had free drink available, I scanned the QR code and the worker decided not to give to me I even reminded him that I had a free drink available and decided not to give it to me. What's the point of having and scanning the app for if I can't use the promotions. read more

Mannnn ohhh man the dumplings are so good so is the steak tacos. They are full of flavor. I can't explain how good it is you gotta try it for yourself and if you don't like call a doctor cause it's obvious your taste buds are trippinggg read more

I eat WaBa grill all the time. This place has the best rice. I always go here for lunch everyday. I'll like to go weekend's but I live in Los Angeles. read more

So, I don't get what the big deal is about this place. My lunch was the equivalent of a glorified rice bowl from Panda Express. I will say the salmon was flavorful, though. I walked in around 11, before the lunch "rush". And, the first thing I noticed was the music. I could hear their music from 1/2 way across the parking lot! Thankfully, I liked the radio station, but still. It was a tad much. There seemed to be confusion with who was taking my order. A shorter girl was there first, said "Hi" and welcomed me. But, as I began to ask just a few questions, another person kind of pushed her aside and they took my order, instead. It was just odd. I only asked a few clarifying questions about the protein, since today was my first visit. I decided on the Rice Bowl with Salmon. I don't know what I was expecting but this wasn't really it. As I said in the beginning, my meal was a larger Rice Bowl with 1 side from Panda. I was debating about going to Poke Land instead of here, but I wanted to try it to see what the hype was about. Sorry, I wasn't impressed in the least. I won't be back. EDIT: I don't care for getting grief of my reviews, so I edited somethings out to appease those who were burnt about it. read more

Best waba grill in the area when it come to service, quality and taste of the food. Believe me I've tried them all

They never pick up their phone or they let their email get full is this so you guys don't work ??? Answer the phone !!!!!!!!!!

Dont come to this location. Lady acts like extra sauce comes out her paycheck. Horrible service.

Won't go anymore after food poisoning: I would go here all the time. Loved the food, despite the always terrible service. From the management down, everyone there has a poor attitude and treat you like a giant inconvenience for even walking in the place. Well, I will never return again. I ordered a Steak & Chicken Bowl, and got a bad case of food poisoning the next day. Was laid out for about 2 days. Buyer beware. read more

Just don't go here bruh.. they gave me some nasty rotten chicken and I took one bite and threw it out cause it smelt and tasted SO bad the food here used to be good smh now they serve rotten chicken why can't we have anything nice read more

We go here often and this is the first time they messed up. I know things are tough, but I ordered brown rice and extra veggies for both bowls. Didn't get it. And we tipped well. read more

Ordered from DoorDash. Food was amazing. Our new favorite place for Asian inspired food!

So I order food here at wabba grill spent 30 plus dollars on my order I got a 20 piece dumpling and instead of the spicy sauce that comes in the cup I asked to please replace it with wabba sauce in a cup, I didn't get waba sauce in the cup at all instead they gave me 4 extra packets For 20 dumplings And 2 extra packets of wabba sauce for each of the 2 chicken and rice bowls. I literally had to tell the lady if I have to buy it then I will cause that is not enough sauce for 2 chicken and rice bowls and 20 dumplings, And she charged me For 2 extra waba sauces. I'm Truly shocked whatever happened to the customer is right I guess those days are gone especially when I asked them when ordering to not give me the spicy sauce in the cup and instead give me the waba sauce in a cup and still never got it. What is seriously going on with the company wabba grill it's like they hold their saucepackets like they'regold aren't they for the customers? it boggles my mind? I used to love coming to waba grill now after this I don't think I will return it's ridiculous over sauce packets! 2 packets of waba sauce will only last for 2 dumplings we had 4 bought 2 more so out of our 20 dumplings we got to only eat 12..... smh read more

While in Ventura, I decided I wanted something on the "healthier" end of food! I stumbled across WaBa Grill! The menu reminded me so much of Flame Broiler, which I love! So I ordered the chicken bowl with veggies, green onions and avocado.. Let's just say it's not Flame Broiler! The food was barely luke warm and the rice seemed overly moist where it clumped together. It reminded me of one of those frozen teriyaki bowls you buy at your local grocery store. Honestly disappointed and would not return anytime soon. read more

First time here and service was very bad. Had no idea how to order and lady at register was laughing about us to the other workers. Then we were only given one sauce but ordered two bowls. She responded that we only get one sauce to share for the two bowls. Makes no sense because if we got different sauces for each bowl how does that work. Def not coming back. read more

My hubby and I returned to Waba Grill after 2-years after the pandemic. Back then we loved their service and the quality of the food, back then I even had the Organic Tofu Plate which was excellent. Today, 2 years later we returned and Waba Grill of Ventura is still excellent, I actually tried the Plant-based Steak Plate and holy moly it was fantastic! The Rice is always fresh, and the spring salad of course is excellent which is included in the Plate lunch.. If we hit Ventura again, we are definitely returning and the staff employees have always been so nice. Thank you Ventura's Waba Grill. read more

Friendly, fresh and fast! First time here since they opened. Stopped by this afternoon for a post workout meal, and Waba hit the spot! P.s didn't have high intentions after visiting the Oxnard location but this one is waaaaayyyy better, cleaner and more inviting. This place is going to be added to my regular list :) read more

I truly enjoyed my meal tonight! I don't normally post reviews but I wanted to share my joy for finding this new place in Ventura. I have been on a mission to eat healthy and working out. Leaving LA fitness tonight I decided to try Waba Grill as my trainer recommended them as a way to keep portion control under watch. For all of you trying to eat healthy - they have chicken, salmon and tofu as the protein portion to your rice and vegetables. The person who took my order, besides being friendly, recommended I try their tofu as he said that it was very good alternative to chicken Leaving the proteins aside - I truly enjoyed being able to see them grill the tofu in front and not just them pulling it out of some warmer drawer. But for you incredulous yelpers here is a copy of the final presentation ! Voila! I hope you enjoy your meal as much as I did - they have won a new customer read more

Came in for dinner and it was simply delicious. I had the chicken bowl and my hubby had the steak bowl. The meat was juicy and tender. Best choice to eat when you want to eat healthy. The steak bowl has less meat than the chicken. You could see that clearly. Maybe because is more expensive than chicken...? But you pay more for the steak bowl. 4 stars because i feel like they need to add a little more meat to their bowls. read more

I really love Waba food. However I feel it is important to share something that I have observed on four occasions recently. There is a Hispanic woman working, not wearing gloves, handling cash. I've seen her thumb go into the bowl while she's filling it with the base item. So unacceptable-especially during this Pandemic. This is the last time I eat here! read more
