First time having this and i've been curious. Although i prefer Flame Broiler still, this place is a good second choice especially since they have so many options and different varieties of what you want. I like the personalization options here. The employee was so patient when we ordered. The one thing that stood out was we can have our protein lightly brushed with the sauce which is perfect cuz I actually don't care for teriyaki sauce at all. I thought that was very different. Otherwise everything else was yummy. I do wish the plate came with veggies and not just rice. I'm sure you can add it but i think it should come automatically. read more

Stopped in again to get a bowl of steak and veggies. Always getting the avocado also but like last time they forget to give us the avocado. We sure pay for it. This time we checked and again no avocado. They asked us to wait as They had to cut some avocados up as we wait. We already waited for them to cook the veggies for the all veggie bowl. WTF???!!!??? Really????? I guess it is too hard to cook veggies and cut up avocado too. And they get $20 an hour to mess up orders and forget avocados. If you order the extra avocado make sure you get it prior to leaving. read more

Whoever the owners are. Shame on you! You are stealing our money at this point. If we pay $12 for a meal we expect a complete meal. Not a bowl of rice with 3 pieces of chicken. It's not okay! I been to multiple Waba Grills and I REPEAT no other Waba Grill does this. This is the owners responsibility to change this. I guess will drive down to a different location because our closest does not care about its customers. read more

WaBa Grill - Chicken bowl with 3 pieces of chicken basically. - Fast Food Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

Every time I visit this center, I always smell something grilling from WaBa Grill, which always makes me hungry. We finally decided to check it out and I'm so glad we did! The menu is pretty easy to follow as it's only about a couple steps to follow. Choose your protein, choose how you'd like your meal (rice bowl, salad, plate, etc) and choose your sauces. Wait times were not that bad considering that they make your bowl after you order. I was impressed to see that the only thing made ahead of time (from what I could tell) was the rice. On the day that we ordered from WaBa was the same day as their produce delivery. It was nice to see boxes of fresh vegetables delivered into their kitchen. I saw whole cabbages inside their delivery boxes! We ended up ordering the ribeye bowl and the chicken & steak bowl. I love how WaBa does not fill up their bowl with rice, as the majority of the bowl consisted of steamed veggies and meat. The meat was flavorful and tender. For sauces, we chose the WaBa, sweet chili and the garlic Serrano. There was a nice spicy kick in our bowls and we couldn't figure out which sauce it was from. Perfect portion sizes, short wait times and a decent, fresh meal...we will definitely be back! read more

WaBa Grill - Ribeye Bowl - Fast Food Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

Came into this restaurant and staff had nothing to do. One customer waiting for their order and no lines. I walked up to counter. No ones says thing to me. I try my best to make eye contact, no one wants to make eye contact. I waited for 2-3 minutes with no one else in line and three or four employees in the other side of the counter without acknowledging me. I finally asked,"are you still open..?!" This is at 1700. The person in front of me said we just got a huge order and we'll be there for you. No makes a move towards me to take an order this after 4-5 minutes. I just turned around and left. Someone need to get fired for that horrible excuse for customer service. I will never again go in there for food. Not worth it. read more

I'm not sure what's going on with the food quality but I got two chicken steak bowl yesterday before closing and the meat tasted spoil and was not good. Quality is bad! read more

Very good Waba location. The food is good, the restaurant is well kept and the staff is friendly. What I really like about Waba is that you would pay substantially more money for food of this quality at a more posh restaurant. It is well prepared and tasty. The Waba sauce seals the deal! Love it!! read more

Service was rude. Asked for extra chicken and they gave a few pieces of chicken for 6 extra bucks.

I was just at this Waba Grill and watched the girl at the register with a bun bring up cash from the back and without washing her hands, started to lid food and touch lots of food items. Very gross and not sanitary, someone could get sick. read more

Great dumplings! The food is always fresh and nicely done However, don't expect them to follow the special directions... I asked for no chili sauce and they get soy sauce instead, and I got the chili sauce read more

We placed an order for 9 bowls , received 8 . My daughter brought over the receipt and the cashier said she already gave us 9 as she was counting from where she was standing behind the counter, looking over where we sat by the window . My daughter walked towards me and I told her to go back tell the cashier she missed count and it's only 8 as we are sitting down in the eating area and one child is missing his bowl and the receipt showed we paid for 9 bowls . ( I can dispute the incident but I want my 14 year old to learn how to communicate and deal with situations) So the cashier asked one of the cooks in the back to make another bowl and shortly after , she brought over to our table . Kids liked their food , the eating area looked clean . We all turned our noses when we walked in the restaurant as to what is the stench that permeates in the room. It's smelled like a sewage issues or some thing else we can't put our finger on. read more

Great customer service the employees are always nice and keep the place clean. I order mostly Online and my order is always correct. The food so far has been great, the veggies could be cooked a little bit more. But over all great for to go orders. read more

So I haven't been here for quite awhile. Hubby loves to cook so we rarely go out anymore. We visited a few weeks ago and they have completely renovated the place. Looks clean, and new. If you want a great deal, go for the tacos which are a new item added to the existing menu. We got steak and chicken. The sauce that comes on them is so good! It has got a bit of a kick to it. I love spicy foods so that's ok with me. The tacos are cheap, about $2 something, but they are small so order two or three or four. read more

Horrible service. Went up to the counter and informed them that I'm here for a pickup. 3 people after I got there placed orders with the lady. They got their orders first than I. I asked her about my order and she said ohh its been ready...I've been waiting her for it!! Wtf?! Doesn't apologize or anything. I saw every food order sitting out on the counter for a good 3-5 mins before she lids them up. Do people there only work at 1 SLOW pace? read more

My daughter ordered for delivery, If I wouldve known, I would have told her not to go to this location. They are known not giving full meat portion. But, they topped it this time. Now, they aren't even filling other side of bowl. I have talked to manager before. I was told it was an ongoing issue they are trying to correct. I haven't gone there in over a year, so I guess they gave up on correcting issue. Hard to tell in pics, but bowl is literally hollow on one side with few carrots and 2 pieces of broccoli. bowl is half empty. No rice or meat on that side either. Better to go to other location. It's close and they give full amount Go to other location. You will get what you actually paid for read more

There bomb chicken tacos are delicious I get the tacos at least 3 times a week!! My husband also likes them as well!

I've been to this location and can attest to the small portions of protein included in chicken bowls, it literally seems as though they took one small piece and chopped into mini pieces. I ordered two chicken bowls and both were very short on protein. I no longer will go to any Waba Grill. Stick to flame broiler read more

Customer service here is great and the manager Teresa goes above and beyond. My family loves WaBa Grill and we will definitely come here often. You can trust this place to take care of you. read more

Cinco estrellas! (5 stars) -- this place is a great Waba. I've tried several Wabas over the years, and this one is the best. The food is more flavorful and they give nice sized portions. Also, the staff there works very quickly, and they are pleasant. All the times I've ordered there, they haven't made a mistake with my order, even though I do several substitutions (like dump the fruit for more dumplings!!). I've ordered so many times, and the food is so good, that my GF has even started getting the chicken bowl with me -- even though she generally doesn't like rice meals. Highly recommend for a great lunch or dinner. read more

‼FOOD POISONING‼BEWARE‼ Ordered a salmon bowl threw DoorDash for dinner here 9.18.23. Took one bite and knew there was something wrong with the fish.

The chicken and beef bowl's taste is passable. However, the beef is sometimes hard and tough to chew on. But other times, the beef is soft. The chicken usually has consistent soft and chewy texture. The rice is also inconsistent with some parts that are dry and hard, while some parts of soft. read more

Excellent service, clean environment, friendly and helpful employees, especially Teresa P and a new male employee working with her. Food was fresh, hot and tender! Will definitely return to this WaBa on Yorba Linda Blvd., by Smart & Final! Thank you!!! read more

This WaBa grill sucks just like their customer service. One of their workers by the name of "Juan" sees that I am ready to order doesn't even engage with me this is my second time coming in this week and he seems so miserable can't even crack a smile. They should look into hiring people that actually want to work. read more

Terrible service. They wouldn't take my order and had to order electronically. They also had me pour in my own sauce when my order was handed to me. Never have I ever experienced something like that in fast food or restaurants. Meanwhile the cop that entered 5 min after me, had the best service and was out with his food before me. Terrible employees. read more

Ever since the remodel, this place has gone downhill fast. The workers are rude, especially the younger ones, they don't greet you, they don't say a word, they always get the orders wrong and the food quality is terrible. From lack of amount, to dryness, overload on sauce and old lettuce. Everything seems extremely lazy and customer service is one of the worst. They also will let the phone ring and then hang up if they do pick up. The workers before the remodel were great. Ever since remodel. Business is terrible. read more

Cold bowl, disgusting all skin chicken, veggies weren't cooked all the way. Tried calling and no one answers. Never again.

Food is decent. Store ALWAYS smells like sewage so I won't be giving them my business anymore

I ordered 2 chicken bowls each with extra chicken for each. Jill the woman with blonde slick back hair was the attendant, I clearly paid for extra protein so when my order was given to me I asked why only 1 order had extra chicken, she responded that Jack the guy working in the kitchen putting the bowls/plates together stated that they both had extra just that the one that looked with less chicken he had not spread the chicken around. I'm not going to argue with an attendant that not only is blind but cannot tell the difference in weight on a plate of food or that is there to take care of both the customer and the business. WaBa grill can keep the extra money I paid I know that I will never go back to this location. To top it off this Jill woman has the driest customer service attitude that as a business owner myself I cannot understand why someone like her world be dealing with Waba's customers. Directly. This location just remodeled their store but forgot to hire good ppl to care for the business. read more

WaBa Grill - Plate in the left has extra chicken, plate in the right i was told the chicken is there it's just not spread around the plate..... - Fast Food Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

Came in today and the smell of sewage was overwhelming, when I first opened the door. I made a comment that it stinks in here to my coworker. Apparently, the woman working at the counter heard me and decided to glare at me for 2 minutes. This made the whole situation very awkward for me. I asked her "What's up?" and she just ignored me. Apparently, customer service is part of a bygone era. Will not return to this location. read more

Ok, so I eat at a lot of different Waba grills when I'm trying to choose a healthier option and I must say not all are created equal. I've been going to this one the most and by far they make there food a lot better and more consistent then others. They grill there chicken to perfection while others are either overcooked and just doesn't taste right. I also get the vegan meat and if you don't cook this just right, then it comes out dry and rubbery. When I get it here, it's surprisingly good to the point you can't even tell it's not meat! Anyways, just thought I'd share! read more

WaBa Grill - Fast Food Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

I wish the owner could read these messages. I only go to this location as it's one of the only few healthy food options in the area... this is the only reason I come here. The location always has employees with terrible service. Whatever you do, don't ask for the garlic Serrano sauce, they are always so stingy with that sauce. If you ask for more than 2, they hit you with the "I have to charge you $.25 cents for each extra one " The place is in a busy shopping center and with the right team could do very well... but currently this place is managed poorly. read more

So disappointed in this. We put it in an order for pick up and the bowl we got looked like this. They put barely any chicken and meat. I worked at a waba grill for years and I know this is old meat they had there. Waba is already over priced and for the restaurant to not give you what you pay for is unfair. Don't go here unless you want to eat old meat. read more
