I enjoy going here. The bowls and plates are really good and fresh. The fried dumplings are excellent and quite tasty. Highly recommend!

Do not order online at this restaurant they will charge your card and they are been closed for quite a while. We learned a lesson last night. They should turn off their online ordering.

The problem with the WaBa Grill in Simi is that although the food that they offer is good, the cooking is often not good and certainly inconsistent. Today, I ordered a side of 4 grilled shrimps and they were so overcooked that I spit out the last one. The dumplings are often the same way--overcooked and leathery. I don't know if the training is poor or if the cook is distracted, but it's very frustrating because I order delivery, which is expensive.

Tried this place for the first time. Ordered for pick up. I ordered the spicy chicken and rice plate with a green salad, along with the chicken-rice-veggie bowl. Very tasty and fresh. The chicken was quality with no grizzled, chewy pieces. I will definitely go there again.

Do not order through the WaBa app for this location in Simi Valley. I waited an hour and 20 minutes only to have our delivery order cancelled. When I called the storefront directly, the manager in charge sounded clueless to what was going on and blamed the delivery system. His solution was for me to come in and pay full price. Full price works for me if you don’t make me wait an hour plus and then cancel my order.Won’t be ordering from here again.

This WaBa grill barely puts any protein on their bowls. I ordered on the app, then I ordered in person. I will not be going back to this WaBa grill.

Ambiance at this location is literally nothing to write home about. Bland, boring, uninteresting. It looks less like a corporate-owned, or even a franchise of a known entity, and more like a mom & pop that was put together on the cheap. I just looked it up - there are about 200 locations of WaBa Grill in California & Arizona. I'd expect more of an aesthetic, frankly. We had been to one in the Palm Springs area some years ago and recall it as being bright and cheerful. The menu leans toward healthy choices, which is great. We should all try to eat healthier, right? I went for a house chicken salad. Dear Hubby went for a plate with beef and chicken teriyaki over rice. My salad had a LOT of chicken! A very generous amount, actually. I shared some of my greens with DH, and sampled some of the beef and rice from his plate. We also ordered a side of dumplings, and those were flavorful and prepared just right. I even give them a thumbs up for having zero calorie vitamin water as an option at the drink dispenser. The cashier was friendly and helped us with the menu options, since we had a few questions. The orders came out pretty rapidly, which suggests that some of the basics are prepped already, and then the heated meats are added as needed. I'd give the place one more star except for the very basic, almost depressing interior. It was clean, and that's a definite plus! It just felt dark to me.
There was a lot to complain about. This is my first time at this location. I ordered a value meal. The drink cup they gave me is ridiculously tiny. It is so small. I never seen a soda cup this small anywhere else. Even kid meal cups at other places are bigger than this value meal cup. I asked for brown rice with my order he gave me white. And on my receipt he out white i never said white. I asked if the meal came with any sauce and they told me "no" so i was forced to order a sauce and guess what? Not only did it come with an extra sauce for the taco, but the item i ordered with came with sauce in the end as well!!!! So i was forced to buy an extra sauce when i asked and they said no. Very unsatisfied with the way I was helped and a staff that was not educated or could not answer the simple questions I asked.

I visit this Waba Grill location almost daily during my lunch break. I like the convenience of having something semi healthy during my break time. The location is small, with only a handful of tables inside. The smell outside is horrendous as there has to be some type of sewer somewhere, but once inside, you don't smell a thing. It is always clean and has its days of being both slow and busy. Service has always been good for me, unlike im seeing from other reviews. Staff is friendly and the food comes out quick. I now am a fan of their mini combo meal which comes with a mini bowl, mini side, and drink. Just enough of a lunch portion to get you through your day.

Love the spicy chicken, but it's expensive for a simple chicken and rice meal.
