Delicious, fast and easy. My partner is vegitarian and LOVES the plant-spired Steak option. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of it but it looked and tasted pretty convincing. Had a wonderful flavor too! I would strongly recommend it for anyone looking for plant-based alternatives. It was the most convincing substitute I’ve had yet!

First time trying waba grill, and it was just okay...nothing special.We ordered 2 chicken bowls, 2 drinks & an order of gyozas & it was $34.With the price of everything, I was expecting for the food to be really good, but it was just okay. Chicken was kind of bland.& just like someone else mentioned before in a review, that as soon as you walk in, there is a strong sewer smell.
