    I found a hair on my bowl, when I brought it up to the cashier's attention in a polite manner she made a face and walked to the cook's attention. The cashier was not wearing a head cap, and was bothered. I hear here making a comment about why i brought up the plate if I was almost done?. No apologies were ever made, she fixed a smaller plate and continued to clean. Terrible customer service as they continued to bad mouth us.

    casual weekday dinner search...looking for something quick and easy...finding waba grill across the street from the hyatt and marriott hotels...strip mall location and low-key...no line to the order counter...taking the waba plate (chicken & steak) $14.49 and a drink $2.99...choice of sauces and taking the waba sauce...similar to teriyaki sauce...about 10 minutes and called...small side salad was fresh and decent...potstickers were average and could have been cooked better...the chicken over rice was decent...the "steak" did not look appetizing...thin and dark strips of beef...looked almost like jerky and cooked to death...don't get the steak....other than the steak, the meal was average, but not really worth the price...

    I was really disappointed as this was my first time trying out Waba Grill and had high hopes! The customer service was great, and she was really friendly. We went out to lunch yesterday 7/17/2023 around 12:30pm ish, not sure but its timed on the receipt I added below.... I could not believe my eyes when I saw the $16.00 plate of just White Rice and Steak??? You can clearly see from the picture that it barely had any meat on there. I know I should of gotten veggies, but I decided to opt out and just try the meat and rice! I was super disappointed at the price and the quantity of the food! The quality of the food was okay, nothing out of this world.. The inside was nice and had a homeless guy sitting in there with all his stuff, so it was kinda weird eating and just him staring at us asking for cigarettes' Over all, I don't think we will be visiting again!

    This took 25min+ to heat up...

    Terrible service from Patty and Ricardo. Receipt says Jesus, which is incorrect. Ordered a (only ONE!!) mini bowl and waited over 25min. Ridiculous, didn't even offer an apology, they were to busy making a big order for a hand written receipt. (Read below) Patty was helping me, and when someone from a deliver service came, she ignored me and I stood there while she took their order on a post it sticky note, (seems like they are giving away free food) That doesn't even sound right, it's a delivery driver! Business owner should be cautious. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I can't remember the last time I left a review, but I felt strongly about this terrible service 10/30/23 at 6:07pm.

    Not worth $10

    Service was okay just had to order my food. Pricey for a bowl of rice. Not enough chicken for $10.

    "digital service fee" how ridiculous, never coming back

    Its disgusting that they charge you to use the app. Congrats, now you lost my business. Read their response, they don't get it.

    The steak and chicken combo bowl. Pathetic. This is what I get upon opening the lid.

I've been here several times and I have only good things to say. They have a seasonal summer menu that we did not try for this visit but it's nice to know there's new items to try. For this visit, we ordered the: -Beef Carpaccio: Flavorful and well prepared. I loved the arugula apple salad on top that added an extra bit of tanginess to the dish. -Truffle Funghi Pizza: Amazing thin pizza. The crust was soft and fluffy which I loved. -Spicy Miso Carbonara Pasta: One of the favorites for a reason. Creamy and savory with fun thick bacon bits. Shoutout to our server Danny. He was attentive, friendly, and polite. We never had to ask for anything! We arrived on a Wednesday night for dinner at around 8PM and our wait was 40 minutes. There are table, booth, and bar seating options here. INI is one of the restaurants under the Kei Concepts group.

I went with a group of 8, and we opted for family style. The umeboshi spring salad was fresh and delicious, sweet and savory with pistachios for crunch. Truffle cheese bread was served warm in a skillet. It came with a generous serving of mozzarella and ricotta on top, with honey on the side for drizzling. The crab roe spaghetti had a rich sauce with a nice sweetness from the crab, plus a generous portion of crab on top with dehydrated tomato and stracciatella. We kept the sauce for dipping some of the bread and pizza crust! Spicy miso carbonara was their recommendation as a popular dish. We got it less spicy, and it was pretty subtle. All of the flavors blended perfectly together. The egg yolk was dropped whole on top for you to mix in yourself. It was very savory and not too salty. Mentaiko pizza was super flavorful with a light layer of mentaiko cream under the mozzarella with nori, bonito, octopus and corn on top. The crust was delicious and chewy. It was an interesting mix and everything worked together perfectly. The service was great - very efficient, helpful and they checked on us periodically and made sure we had serving utensils since we were dining family style. They do accept reservations, which I would recommend! The space is bright and open, and has a casual family friendly feel. It's clean and modern with no pretension. The bathroom was also clean. We landed at under $35 per person for the meal, no beverages or dessert. I loved INI and would return without hesitation!

This restaurant is open late so maybe we do our late night snack run.

    BUSINESS PERMANENTLY CLOSING 6/28/26…read more Came here with some gals for afternoon tea. It's a cute little restaurant in Old Towne Orange. It's decorated really cute inside and out! Everything was creatively planned and decorated. It was also very clean and spacious inside and out. When you go in, there's a tea sampling station with the menus so you can see which tea you would like to order. Our server was really sweet, but she was the only one serving all of the tables, so she would come by every 10-20 minutes to check on us and some things we asked for didn't make it to the table. If they had more servers, customers would be happy with quicker service. The food and tea were delish! There were 6 of us so we shared a bunch of different teas. I really enjoyed the teas they had. The sweet and savory treats were really yummy! I really enjoyed them. Each person got 5 little savory treats and 4 sweet treats.

The parking lot isn't usually too bad in that you can find something as there is an abandoned restaurant near the side. Best to try to give yourself at least a 15 minute buffer though when you go as the place tends to get busy on the weekends at least. Once there, there are usually both smaller and bigger tables in a cozy environment. The menu itself has a mixture of items as well as some juice/coffee drinks as well as some alcohol. Here's what we got overall: *Bang-silog: The fried fish is a surprisingly good option and pretty big. Able to easily feed two and comes with a few side items like rice and a fried egg. *Pandan cold brew: Oddly really good. I was afraid it was going to be overly sweet but ended up being a perfect balance of the pandan and the cold brew flavor. *Silog Breakfast Bowls with Longanisa: Lots of different options to choose from here for your protein. This is a great overall bowl packed meal that includes garlic rice, egg, tomato salad, and the meat you chose. You also get a few sauces to enjoy with your meal like ketchup and soy sauce. The service is really friendly and able to answer all of our questions. And the meal itself took around 15-20 minutes to come out. Overall, it's a solid brunch spot that was great to go to nearby. Would recommend!
