Waba Grill serves fresh and flavorful meals with plenty of healthy options. The chicken and rice bowls are tasty, and the portions are generous. Staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean, though service was a bit slow during busy times. Overall, a solid spot for a quick, satisfying meal.
August 2025
I love WaBa, but this one has ungrateful, low-customer service oriented staff. I was very disappointed by the bruised up HalfOcada with demasiado brown spots in it to just eat and enjoy. Worst off, the staff is not friendly; Showing us the minimum wage is far too high for the entitlement of new workers to develop positive workmanship. Compared with other WaBa’s in LA area, this one is subpar.

The service here is always outstanding. I almost always come right before closing when I get off work to pick up something for my 102-year-old mom. Whatever way I ask them to make a certain item, the two young men always accommodate. I really appreciate them.
