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.

Not much flavor and portion sizes are a little too small for the price they charge. Workers also didn't seem too happy.

Stayed nearby at the Residence Inn for a family trip to Disneyland and wasn't feeling the fast food…read morefare near the hotel. Did some quick yelp research and found this spot. It was walkable, but a little bit of a trek. 100% worth it. Staff was super friendly and helped us figure out what to order (parents weren't sure whether they wanted Mexican or burgers). We ended up getting the Bulgogi burger, a bacon cheeseburger, some onion rings, and a carne asada fry. Ok. The food doesn't photograph well for your instagram, but it's delicious. Lemme tell ya - after an early morning of flying, we inhaled this food. Would absolutely come back. Was good enough that we're considering skipping dinner at the park The inside of the restaurant is clean and has a good mix of table sizes for everyone. Saw a table near us order the chicken teriyaki plate and it looked delicious as well. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.

I hadn't heard of Apollo Burger until today, and I'm shocked it's taken me so long to hear about…read morethis place! Apollo Burger is located off Chapman in the intersection of Garden Grove, Orange, and Anaheim (technically Garden Grove though). There's plenty of parking, but it can get crowded when the lunch or dinner rush hits. The interior has a bunch of seating, and the restaurant is very bright and clean. The staff were all super friendly, and everything was made fresh and quickly. I got a bacon cheeseburger and a cheeseburger (sub mayo, add pickles and onions), and both were exactly what you'd look for in an old school, diner-type burger. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors were all great. I also got a chocolate shake which I would venture to say was one of the best chocolate shakes I've had in recent memory. I tried the grilled chicken sandwich as well, but unfortunately that was quite dry as they used pieces of chicken vs a full cutlet, so I would recommend avoiding that. This is a great burger joint in OC, and I absolutely plan to come back. If you're in the mood for a diner burger, this place is absolutely the spot to visit.

The chicken is hot, juicy, and freshly fried to order. It's not aggressively seasoned, but that…read morefeels intentional -- it's clearly designed to be paired with their Cane's Sauce, which is the real star here. Tangy, peppery, slightly creamy, a little addictive. You don't just dip the chicken... you dip everything. Fries, toast, possibly your dignity. The Texas toast deserves its own mention: buttery, crisp on the outside, soft inside, and wildly underrated. Fries are classic crinkle-cut -- not revolutionary, but they do the job, especially when dipped in sauce. Service is fast, efficient, and usually friendly, which matters because Cane's tends to be busy. The vibe is casual, slightly chaotic, but well-run -- especially late night!

I'm really disappointed with my experience today. 3/27/2026…read more I placed an order (Order #40222 customer 5769) for a 6-piece chicken finger combo with 2 extra fingers (8 total), but I only received 6 pieces. Two items were missing from my order. I called the store to resolve this, but the staff told me to wait and she put me on hold for 20 minutes with no help. At the very least, I expect better customer service. Two missing chicken fingers shouldn't be a big deal, but the poor service and 20-minute hold completely ruined my late dinner after a long working day. Also, some of the chicken tenders were noticeably small, were barely half the size they should be. Customer service, if you're reading this, you have my order number and I paid by card, so you should be able to process a refund without asking me to call back.

There's a few kiosks inside and outside of the restaurant where you place your order. Got a build your own pizza, half pepperoni and half cheese. For $23, we got an 8 slice pizza that was enough for 2 adults and 2 young kids. Pizza was pretty solid. Crisp bottom, tender dough, not bad for a water park. Came out in about 15 minutes. Easy to kill time in the arcade if you need a distraction.

This pizza place is located inside the Great Wolf Lodge in Garden Grove…read more This pizza place is very convenient because it's just there the moment you get out of the Water Park. There are plenty of tables to dine in and you can order your pizza here and you can bring the pizza inside the Water park and eat there. We always order their CARNIVORE here, it has a red sauce, 5 cheese blend, Italian sausage, bacon, and Canadian bacon, this is mostly what my Son and his friends like here. Good-sized pizza and it's filled with lots of meat, actually pretty good. I always order twice here when we are staying at Great Wolf lodge, one when I bring these pizza's inside the water park for my Son and his friends, and one at night to bring back to our Room as a back up snack at night when everything around the area is already closed. Good Pizza, we never encountered any problem with our order here.

As someone who enjoys good graphic design, that detail stood out and added a nice touch to the overall atmosphere. Food-wise, it was a bit of a mixed experience, so I'll break it down by dish: Fried Chicken Wings (1/5): This one was unfortunately the most underwhelming. The flavor was very mild, and I couldn't detect the toasted rice powder mentioned in the description- neither in the sauce nor as a coating on the wings. I found myself wondering how it was meant to be incorporated. The sauce itself was hard to place, maybe slightly sweet like a subtle honey flavor but overall it felt quite flat and didn't leave much of an impression. Combination Fried Rice (2.5/5): This dish was okay but had some texture issues. The rice leaned dry and a bit hard, with some clumping. There was some seasoning present, but the texture made it less enjoyable than it could have been. Panang Curry Beef (3.5/5): This ended up being the highlight of the meal. The beef was soft, tender, and really well-cooked. The flavor leaned more toward a beef stew profile than a traditional creamy Panang curry, and the color was more of a brownish-orange rather than the usual vibrant golden tone. Because of that, it didn't have the richness I typically expect, but it was still a satisfying dish. I was a bit surprised that it didn't come with rice, as that's something I usually see included-especially at $16. I had to order a side of rice which technically makes this dish $19 because who eats curry on its own? I've never seen it come without rice before. Pad Kee Mao (1/5): This was another dish that didn't quite come together for me. The noodles were quite pale and didn't have much flavor, which stood out since this dish is usually bold and well-seasoned. The texture also felt off- the noodles were clumpy and broken into shorter pieces rather than the long, separated strands you'd expect. Overall, it just didn't have the balance or depth I was hoping for. Service: On a very positive note, the service was wonderful. The server was kind, attentive and really helped make the experience better. The combination of great service and the thoughtfully designed space makes me feel like this place has a lot of potential. I really wanted to love this spot, especially with how strong the presentation and service are. With a bit more attention to flavor and consistency in the dishes, I think it could be a good spot. But as of now, if we were allowed half ratings- this would be 2.5 out of 5. I rated 3 because I liked the service lol.
