The interior is dark in the location. The food is acceptable. The price is a little high for what you get.

I love the food here a lot, it is one of my favorite places to go for a quick lunch, however, there is one Asian lady that works there that always gives me rude stares and she can never hear me right over the loud music. She has taken my order wrong more than 4 times. One time I ordered a Thai tea with no ice and she acted like I had just ordered nachos with no chips and kept questioning me, asking if I was sure I wanted no ice with it. I avoid going to this place because I really don't want to see the lady because she scares me.

Great food, love coming here for something that feels healthy! One critique is you should always have music playing, even something soft. It's eerie most of the time when I walk in and it's just silence đŸ€«

Waba Grill was on my list of new places to try next and I'm very grateful to God that I did!

Waba Grill sent me a coupon via their SMS Rewards program to try out 5 FREE dumplings with my purchase of a bowl. They also offer 20% off my first purchase but I couldn't combine it with this offer.

Either way, I am pleased! I went with their Waba Steak & Chicken Bowl along with 5 dumplings. My order was ready as promised within 15 minutes. The women at the customer service were quick and kind and they thanked me for coming in.
I've never tried dumplings before. I'd say these are pretty good. I'm not sure what kind of sauce they threw in, but it has a nice kick to it that brings a life to the dumplings with each bite.

Now as far as the bowl, wow, their Waba Sauce tastes like honey and teriyaki mixed together! It's so good topped over the steak and chicken and rice! The flavors all just mix so well.

I'd say, this is definitely a place, service and food I'd give a rating of 5/5. The food was so good and I'm thankful for the FREE dumplings and the blessing to try them out for the first time for FREE!

This is our go-to place for a great healthy protein bowl. The staff is great, food is excellent, and we appreciate the consistency with the preparation.

? Long story short, they spit in my food ?
My partner and I have been coming here for years. As soon as we found this place, the only thing stopping us from eating it for every meal was cost. Prices have just been outrageous lately lol

We love this place, and that’s why it pains me to write this review.. ?

I mistakingly ordered 1 taco and a bowl, when I had meant to order 3 tacos and a bowl. When I got the food I saw only one taco, so I asked for my receipt in case there’s a mixup. I saw I only ordered one taco on the receipt, so I (only having $4 left on me) went to go sit down and enjoy my one taco. My partner ended up paying for 2 tacos for me, so we patiently waited, and they hand delivered them to us.

I bit into the taco and immediately knew something was off. I tasted spit in my mouth, slimy and warm. I looked at the taco and saw it drip out a little, stringy and with bubbles. Dude it’s disgusting. Opened the taco and there it was under the food. I didn’t get upset, I didn’t react, I just looked up and saw everyone looking at me, then looked away. I spit it out, of course, then packed up the rest, threw it out and left the store.

They deserve a 1 ⭐ review, but I know it could be a variety of factors that are specific to each employee. I just pray that whoever sees this knows this kind of behavior could be happening at this location, and to eat here at your own risk.

I won’t be coming here anymore ?

The restaurant specializes in fresh, made-to-order rice bowls, plates, and salads, all featuring high-quality proteins like chicken, steak, and tofu. The food is flavorful, with a perfect balance of savory and tangy, thanks to their signature sauces.

The employee that seemed to be in charge was very bossy and rude around the other lady who worked there. Left a bitter taste in my mouth.

The phrase "Happy Friday" is often used to express the joy and relief many people feel as the workweek comes to an end and the weekend approaches. It's a time to finish up tasks, look forward to relaxation or exciting plans, and reflect on the accomplishments of the past days. Fridays are also a popular time for social gatherings, family time, or simply taking a moment for oneself. It's a universal sentiment that celebrates the potential of the upcoming days and the temporary pause of the weekly routine. Whether it's spent catching up with friends, enjoying a hobby, or just resting, the anticipation of Friday often brings a smile to people's faces.

Sometimes ordering food ahead over the phone can cause the employee to misunderstand your order if you have multiple modifications. Although they are very nice, it's better to order in person if you are ordering take out so you can ensure your order is rung up correctly. The modifications for my bowls despite being correct, were mixed up and in combination with the wrong toppings. Not a big deal, the food was still great and they are awesome taking orders right up until 9pm when they close no matter what! Overall decent service!
