HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE“

“Simply phenomenal. It takes incredible food, made by kind folks, who love what they do, to lift a stranger's spirit like my own. I had ordered four tacos: Masala Birria, Tinga Masala Chicken (by recommendation), Pibil Chicken, and the potato (Mexican potato substitution), along with a side of Mom's Beans and seasoned Cauliflower. I was nodding my head blissfully as I ate everything. The smell of spices and fresh cilantro, the taste of meaty beans and succulent poultry, and pickled onions were wildly satisfying. I was blown away and can't wait to return. You're missing out if you haven't eaten here, yet. Until next time, peace.“

“AMAZING!! THE BEST PLACE IN SOUTH EL MONTE!! TRY THE LOMO SALTADO ANDA THE TIKI FRIES“

“I hope this place stays open for a long time. The chicken is moist and full of meat flavor, while the soup is hot enough to cook even the shredded cabbage they give you. The rice was fluffy and soft to eat. I saw that they were kept busy with takeout orders when i came to eat weekday lunch, so heres to more visits in the future.“

“Excellent,food. Also, the customer service was on point! Thank you“

“Stopped in and got some of the Dave chicken bites. The medium and the hot boy are the hot ones. You can smell like when it comes to the table how hot it is. The spice is just oozing off of it. I got a side of cheese for the fries and only a couple of the cheese sauce. The chicken is hot and fresh and super spicy with lots of flavor. The pickles are a really good addition the cheese with the fries is super tasty. If you’re not into season on your french fries seasoning, not salt the Dave sauce kinda taste like a Chick-fil-A not a ranch they clean restroom. Lots of parking. Everyone was really nice 10 out of 10. Recommend this location. They also have baby ice and you get to fill up your own drink. They have no drive-through..“

“Waba team member, David provided excellent customer service. He was very friendly, patient and offered much appreciated information on budget friendly options. I will be visiting again at Waba Grill South El Monte very soon in the near future. I hope to be assisted by David again.“

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“

“Abdy was excellent and guided us with some great choices! Dave hot chicken tenders and sliders are awesome and what's amazing also is their kale slaw! We will be back as Abdy was great and food was fresh and tasty. Felt cozy and comfortable.“

“It's located next to Mi Pulgarcito Pupiseria Salvadoreña and near GS Ethiopian Cafe. I had went to this plaza for another restaurant but they closed already for lunch. I decided to try this grilled chicken place, reminds me of Juan Pollo or El Pollo Loco. It seems family owned with a young teen taking my order.

I chose to try the 16 piece family special with half spicy and regular chicken ($44.99) which came with 4 large sides, tortillas and salsa. I chose their macaroni salad, potato salad, rice, and beans. I got a lunch special for myself that came with a can of soda. The seasoning on the chicken was good, the spicy chicken had a good heat. The skin was crispy and the chicken was moist. My family did not like the sides of macaroni and potato salad.

The staff was nice and the wait time was not long.“

“After so many times of having gone to this shopping center for the other stores, I finally took a chance to come in, and I thought it was pretty good! Staff was friendly, they were really patient with me. Food came out in maybe ~7 minutes or so, so that's pretty standard. I thought it was pretty good! Was reading some of the reviews saying there's no flavor? I don't know, maybe I've become such an old man👴🏻 now, I thought it was good. Not over-the-top. Someone said they barely gave any cheese over the fries? My observation was that they meticulously layered the cheese, so that it wasn't just a giant slab on top with nothing on the bottom. I've never been to any other restaurant that goes through that level of detail to make sure the right amount of cheese is evenly distributed across the fries like that! BRAVO!👏🏻 Shoutout to the 1pm crew! You guys are awesome!

Also, for as long as they've been in business, EVERYTHING is clean! Like, not a hint of grease staining the floors or the furniture.“

“Super friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. The chicken was crispy and juicy. Salsas are definitely worth a try! Food was served straight to our table within 5-10 minutes after ordering. The staff was so helpful in picking out deals and coupons. I highly recommend this place. The prices are low, and just a great establishment overall.“

“Extremely clean
Zero wait to order
Dine-in and outdoor available.
Staff could pay more attention to the counter; I'm one of the few people in the room, someone waiting at the counter should draw more attention.
Staff forgot items ordered

Food is like any other Cane's, great!!!
It's annoying this restaurant chain charges for extra sauces.“

“I was looking for a new Chinese fast food place. I was worried about the dishes not being fresh. After looking for some reviews, I found this place. I decided to give it try.Staff was friendly. Menu was pretty clear. The dishes looked good and appetizing. I got the 3 items combo. All tasted good and fresh. I'm happy with the quality which is really important to me.I definitely can recommend this place!“

“Really good Peruvian Food we had the whole chicken 2 of them and 3 Lomo saltados with rice n beans homemade flour tortillas nd all the sauces they had were really good. Delicious grub..“

“best chicken ever tender ,juicy crunchy! mmm!“

“Always great place for Korean fried chicken. I know they are a chain, their quality is consistent. I wish they would add more dry rub flavors.
My go to flavors are always golden original, secret spicy (not really that spicy), and their spicy golden original (dry-rub)“

“Ist time trying The Spot Teriyaki Burgers today and it's delicious I'll have to try more of there menu to up it too 5 stars but off to a good start today.
Give alot on the both meat an chicken plate enough for 2 meals. 👍“

“Surprisingly it be actually pretty good 😩“

“Bbq always delivers in terms of flavor. The only reason I didn't get five stars is because at this location the cook that works in the the morning afternoon shift is far superior to whoever they have cooking in the back at night... 😂“

“Hanshin Pocha opening in Rowland means I no longer have to drive all the way to K-Town when I’m craving Korean bar food. I’ve been to the original location many times, so I’m really glad they expanded.

For me, the must-orders are the spicy squid and the cheese hot plates. The rice was fun to mix and tasted decent, nothing mind-blowing but still satisfying.

The fried chicken was just okay — a little on the dry side IMO— but still makes for a solid bite, especially when you’re drinking. I also really appreciate that their beer mugs come pre-chilled. It's the little things.

Overall, a fun and casual late-night spot that brings the K-Town vibe to the SGV. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!“

“I ordered Combo number one they were decent size sliders came a coleslaw and pickles it was absolutely amazing I got hot Flavor. The fries had a really nice season on ate every single bite I was full and I was happy this is way better than Dave's hot chicken. If you haven't tried it do yourself a favor and go. Did I mention it's a little cheaper than most hot chicken places. The girl is kinda cute too“

“Very good home style meal. Not the cheapest, but good valued meal.“

“honestly my favorite hot chicken spot. super glad to have one within 5 minutes of me!“

“Was craving fried chicken came across this place. Really had a great selection on the menu. Prices were very reasonable but most importantly, the food was grade A! I got some chicken drumsticks with some waffle fries and it didn't disappoint. Definitely coming back.“

“El mejor pollo picante 🌶️ Frescura , sabor y calidad Las estructuras de un producto de alta gama“

“friendly service crews…great food“

“It's been over 2 years since I've eaten here. The prices have increased a bit, but the service by Michael was wonderful and the food is still DELICIOUS! 😋“

“This was a really great place, with the food being aweome for a few reasons:
1. The employees and owner were super cordial and very professional.
2. The food was very excellent; with the powered cheese fries being so creative, and I couldn't get over them. Its like powered popcorn, but potato fires, super weird, super creative. I loved it. The chicken was also very awesom, I recommend the secret sauce.
3. The place was clean, had cool shows and music broadcasting with aesthetics that fit for this establishment.
Overall, This place is a Must Be when passing by. You will not be disappointed.

By the way, not sure why some people are giving this place low star's; I've grown up in bad, to good area's, so I know a thing or two, and know that this must be down bad people with a bit of money, or bad attitudes, and just want a free meal or hate on people doing good. You still keep rocking BBQ Chicken. Cheers!“

“Good customer service thank you 😊 keep smiling 👌🏼🤗🤗“

“Bombdizzle“

“This is the last time I buy anything from this establishment. ...this is not the first time ..I purchased a double chicken bowl $14 by itself ..and I got a handful of chicken or I should say remnants It looks like they cleaned the chopping block ..this supposed to be a double chicken bowl ..I'm done w epl“

“Great children foods .. it easy fast food and it very delicious 🤤 I will come back after gym“

“Chill foo. Jkkkkkk“

“friendly atmosphere, good customer service and very clean“

“I started going to this Waba Grill pretty recently when passing through the area, and I gotta say, it's my favorite one to go to! By far the cleanest one, my food is served quickly with the correct portions, and all in all I could tell people work efficiently around here. The last few times I went, I was served by Jaime and Alex; I've had different vibes from different workers across different locations, but I feel I get the best vibes when coming here and when I've been served by these two! 5/5 would recommend pulling up if you're in the area.“

“First time eating there. My granddaughter took me out to lunch and I will for sure go back!“

“Delicious- lemon dressing on kale and romaine lettuce. Unsweetened ra was also good“

“Soo delicious, stopped by this location coming down from Big Bear. Had been craving it all weekend, and it didn't disappoint. Everything was delicious, from the Pollo, to the frijoles, arroz, and ensalada de papa.. my mouth is watering writing this review, super sad I don't have a Juan pollo closer to Compton.“

“The best service and food as expected. This is another well managed location. I’ll be back😁“

“Everything was clean and the people were helpful and happy“

“If you’re looking for a truly unique dining experience, East Town Yard Fried Chicken is a must-visit. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported to a nostalgic 70s-era China with the restaurant's quirky decor. The red brick walls and enamel plates evoke a sense of vintage charm, while the slogan wall adds a playful touch, making it a perfect blend of culture and creativity.

Now, let's talk about the food—this place is a game-changer. The northern-style stir-fried chicken is unlike anything you've had before. Tender chicken, packed with flavor, is stir-fried to perfection—not deep-fried—allowing the natural taste of the meat to shine through. The spices are perfectly balanced, offering a delightful kick without overwhelming the palate. Every dish here feels authentically Chinese, with rich flavors that are both comforting and exciting.

What truly sets this place apart is the attention to detail in every aspect—from the food to the ambiance. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. Whether you're a fan of traditional Chinese cuisine or looking to try something new, East Town Yard Fried Chicken offers a memorable dining experience you won’t soon forget. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely! Delicious Chicken Dinner.🥰 There sides are yummy too! My favorite sides are the Spanish Rice, Beans, Coleslaw and Corn on the Cob. I love there Red Chile! Served with Corn and Flour Tortilla. Yummy! 😋 A family owned business. Service is wonderful. They are friendly and polite.♥️“

“he'll mf yea this place is amazing. best tasting chicken sandwiches! real spice if u can handle the heat“
