“I came to this WaBa Grill recently and had such a great experience thanks to Mia at the front! She was super friendly, patient, and made sure my order was perfect. You can tell she really cares about her customers — she greeted everyone with a smile and kept things moving even when it got busy. The food came out fresh and fast too! Definitely one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had at any WaBa Grill.“

“This is now our new favorite place. Wish I've known this place before. The food was delicious and generous. We had the Salmon Bento and Chicken Teri Plate. We loved it!!! It was a lot for me. I still have a lot left for dinner. Price was reasonable and staff were nice. Can be long wait but worth it.“

“I was a client that came here awhile ago about 4-5 years ago and I did not like the food. I stopped coming for that reason. I decided to give a second chance and everything changed for the better. The food tastes way better. Eduardo is very polite and helpful on taking your order. He makes sure everything is on point with his workers and good. I recommend giving it a second chance. New management!“

“The overall environment is clean and well-designed, and the self-serve sauce bar is also very tidy. The ingredients are very fresh—the sliced meats have beautiful marbling, the seafood is well-prepared with no fishy smell at all, and there’s a wide variety of fresh vegetables.
It’s currently $14.99/lb, and there’s a 12% opening discount, plus a free drink included, which honestly makes the value feel almost unbelievable… hotpot has never felt this affordable and stress-free.
We ordered the spicy broth and tomato bone broth. The moment they arrived, the aroma was incredible. The spicy broth was bold, hot, and flavorful, while the tomato broth was rich and comforting.
I really like this “small and refined” style of hotpot—no fighting for ingredients, no worrying about portion sizes. Every bite feels like your own pace, and the whole experience is both relaxing and satisfying.“

“An outstanding dining experience! The service was excellent, with our server being both attentive and informative about the menu. The food was incredible—fusion at its finest, with dishes that exceeded expectations. The crispy rice with tuna was my favorite. The ambiance was chic and modern, with clean lines and a relaxed atmosphere, making it a great spot for any occasion. Can’t wait to come back!“

“First time. Food was awesome. The salad dressing was missing, not sure if I ordered incorrectly but I recall choosing ranch and asian. Also not clear with the teriyaki on the side that it's extra, I was hoping to add my own, but the amount of sauce was not overdone and the extra helped. Thank you! Shall return to try other menu items!“

“The Hainan chicken was tender and juicy, and the skewers were wel-seasoned!
The restaurant's interior is very cozy, decorated with plants and Chinese-themed items.
Ordering is easy with the QR code on each table, which is convenient.
This spot specializes in potato noodles, skewers, and Hainan chicken.
Combo #1 comes with two bowls of rice and soup, a plate of chicken, cucumber salad, and fried peanut. The rice is very fragrant and the chicken was tasty with the sweet and spicy sauces.
The potato noodles is very tasty. I will say the best one in LA. If you want to add more protein to the soup that’s good. It is also good for the original recipe. I absolutely love the numbing, peppery flavor of Sichuan pepper in potato noodles.“

“the restaurant is super clean. If you show up thinking you're going to order Orange chicken, Broccoli beef, kung pao chicken or any of that chinese fast food then this is not the place for you. BUT if you're looking for some delicious mouth watering dumplings cooked in various forms then you're at the CORRECT place. I brought my mom here and we tried the pork chive regular dumplings, the pan fried beef and cumin dumplings and the regular fried rice. All of it was delicious. Also they give you a complimentary bowl of egg drop corn soup. NOT a small bowl but a good size portion, it was GOOOOOD. I will definitely be back with the rest of the family and I want to try the beef noodle soup. DON'T fall asleep on the fried rice.“
“I have also eaten at many barbecue restaurants. The ingredients in this barbecue restaurant are very fresh and taste good. Both meat and vegetables are grilled to perfection. The environment shows that the boss is very attentive and the service is very considerate. The price is reasonable and cost-effective. I recommend it to friends who like barbecue.“

“Food was amazing! Tried the chefs combo(turns out the chef I had was also the owner) to which every piece of sushi had a good portion of their choice on top. Miso soup was good and tried their double salmon roll special. Very flavorful and good portion on the inside and out. Place inside is small but doesnt feel cramped, servers and chef are hospitable and ambiance is calm. Great for a date or even just to relax. Definitely returning!
Edit: Have returned numerous times and never disappointed. Pictures included“

“Well, love at first sight on their packaging!!! They do the business seriously here 👏
The chicken katsu was juicy, tofu katsu was good. Chicken sando was delish. If anything to improve, they could offer hot sauce/some chili powder(togarashi). Sit outside get the view“

“When I’m in Whittier visiting my sister I always swing by for a bowl of Pho and spring rolls“

“It couldve been because I was early, dining in and the broth didn't develop a bitter after taste from over cooking, but it's been awhile since I've had good ramen. The champion ramen had a good mixture of wet and dry flavors. Chashu + seaweed had a subtle fish dry taste vibe which is new. Noodles were chewy and not clumpy mouth feel. Broth and ground pork were rich but not overly. Overall taste + texture was superb and especially warming during the winter. Also the waiter Rick is such a homeboy and service is amazing.
Last time I liked having ramen was when I was running around in an orange jumper. Hope the guys and gals stay in business.“

“There used to be in a Marugame near my college, but it has disappeared and since then, I’ve been yearning for it. Marugame’s noodles are bouncy and the soup rich in fishy flavor. I love the ability to tempura, but my tempura was a little too soggy in the breading. But overall, loved the experience and the food“

“We have been eating in this restaurant for a while. They have new menus regularly. This time, we try the Sichuan Spicy Beef (川味香辣安格斯肥牛). It’s better than what I expected. It look cold but it’s actually warm inside. Spice at an optimal level for us.
Their services are good as usual. Polite and better than some of other Asian restaurants.“

“Monday 5/12/25 Dinner with my son. Enjoying a wonderful meal; father & son night out. The foods were good. There are a large selection of dishes on the menu. It would take a person to visit numerous times to try all the dishes they offered; it’s good if you are a local.

“This location has a special place for me, as it was my favorite spot years ago when it was a different establishment. After a fire, I honestly never expected to see it come back. Last year, I discovered that it had been rebuilt as 88Q and decided to give it a shot.
I was genuinely and pleasantly surprised. The quality of the food is top notch, and the service is friendly, efficient, and fast. Everyone smiles and truly makes you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in.
Because of the overall experience, 88Q has become my go to KBBQ spot. I will definitely be visiting frequently and recommending it to others.“

“The place was empty so we were initially a bit doubtful. I’m glad we made the decision to stay because ALL of their dishes were delicious, not just their Hainan chicken but also their beef, wings, and even their stir fried veggies tastes like it came from much bigger restaurants.“

“Been to this place three times, I always got food to go.
The first time I tried their Pho with flank and brisket. It was good, but I always prefer something that hits a little bit more.
Second time I decided to try the one with charbroiled beef and it was a game changer. I ordered it two days in a row cause it's absolutely delicious. The beef is very well marinated and tasted lightly sweet and smoky, I love to eat it even by itself.
I'll be coming back for sure.“

“I love this place, the family is so incredibly nice.
I usually get a #5 beef/chicken combo, extra veg, teriyaki and curry sauce on the side. It's a lot of food so I try my best to eat half for 2 lunches. Their ice tea is good, most places tend to have a dish rag taste.ive been going there for over 30yrs and it's always the same delicious quality. Unlike fast food chains that charge more and more with quality dropping every year.
Vegetarian options: Good Been burritos and veggie Rice bowls.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“If you’re craving an authentic bowl of Beef Noodle Soup, this is it. The broth is infused with peppercorns, giving it an incredibly bold, numbing aroma that takes me straight back to those nostalgic Taiwanese military village (Juancun) flavors. It’s rich, punchy, and unlike any other broth in LA!
I love that the Lu Wei (braised delicacies) is served as its own standalone dish. You can really taste the mastery of seasoning in every bite of the beef and tofu.
To round it all out, you have to order the Radish Chicken Soup. It’s crystal clear and carries that perfect, natural sweetness from the daikon. It’s the ultimate palate cleanser after the tingly heat of the beef noodles. Perfectly balanced and so comforting!“

“Man, this place takes me back to high school, back when Quickly locations were plentiful and it was easy to get a boba drink and popcorn chicken for under $10. Happy to find that things haven't changed at this spot!
There's very little parking in the plaza, so if you're lucky, you'll get one of the two spots up front designated for Quickly. Otherwise, find a spot off street parking. It's also still to go inside, so no hanging about with your food and drink. Cash only and no bills larger than $20.
We ordered popcorn chicken ($5.90, listed on their menu as fried chicken), regular size almond milk tea at 50% sweet with boba ($2.50 plus 75 cents for boba), and large size jasmine milk tea at 50% sweet with boba ($2.50 plus 75 cents for boba and 50 cents for larger size). Since the drinks were at 50% sweet, they were slightly watered down. Still good though! Boba was soft and chewy.
The real star was the popcorn chicken! It wasn't fatty nor tendon-y like other boba shops we've ordered at. It was crisp and hot and a great value at a price we don't see anymore. I think we've found our go-to popcorn chicken place!“
