    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.

The servers are friendly ans attentive. I do recommend booking a reservation if you're going on the weekend or dinner time. It's not as busy during the weekday (before dinner). During my last visit, I had the spicy miso carbonara. This is probably one of my favorite entrees here! And it's actually not that spicy. They have seasonal salads. This round we had the mixed beet salad. Previously I had a salad with watermelon and another one with persimmon. I remember enjoying both as well. The beef carpaccio was okay. Their drinks are pretty good as well. I've enjoyed most/almost everything I've had at this place. I've come back plenty of times and I definitely recommend coming to try this place!

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. This restaurant is located in a Fountain Valley plaza featuring several other Kei restaurants. There is plenty of parking here.

Our server was nice and attentive. The restaurant is modern and beautiful. I got the mango sticky rice matcha drink and the filet mignon banh mi chao. The drink was tasty. I think it tastes best if you mix the mango with the matcha. The food was nice and hot and the eggs were cooked to perfection. It's the perfect complement with the banh mi as you dip the egg yolk, the sauce with onions, and most importantly the pate. I will definitely always order this every time I go!

Ratings: Curry crab omelette 8/10: this was a solid dish, but honestly, I know it was an omelette, but it just taste like eggs basically just an omelette with a little bit of crab but not bad. Shrimp fried rice 9/10: with the lime sauce on the side this is delicious by itself not so much of a great dish, but with the sauce amazing. Filet mignon banh mi 9.5/10: the only reason I take off .5 is because the bread was very very hard. But overall, an amazing dish and the flavors were amazing. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection. Mango sticky rice 7/10 if you are a fan of black sesame and your desserts, this is perfect for you. Banana bread pudding 100/10: this genuinely might be one of the greatest desserts I've ever had amazing perfection. All of the aspects of it are perfect the crunch the banana, the ice cream, the bread pudding everything about it just amazing if you love banana you will love this dessert.

We ordered the lomo saltado shaken fries and the calamari. The lomo saltado was definitely the highlight! the meat was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The fries had the perfect texture: crispy on the outside and not soggy at all. The sauce tied everything together perfectly, with a great balance of savory and sweet flavors without being overpowering. The calamari was also well-executed. It was crispy, tender, and didn't have any fishy taste, which I really appreciated. Another plus is that the portions here are huge, making it great for sharing with family and friends. There's plenty of seating, and the lively atmosphere makes this a perfect spot for a casual meal, family gathering, or a night out with friends. I would definitely come back to try more of their menu!

AND they're open until 1:30 AM every day, making it the perfect late-night stop after a long day at the parks. Sona Kitchen has an Asian fusion menu along with coffee and tea. We tried the new Banana Crème Coffee and Taro Milk Tea, and both were delicious. The Banana Crème Coffee was smooth and creamy, but recommend mixing the creme and coffee. The banana flavor was a little too strong for me. My bf said the Taro Milk Tea was refreshing and def can taste the taro flavor. We ordered the garlic chicken wings, garlic noodles, fish balls, filet mignon lomo saltado, and the Crab House Congee. The garlic chicken wings and garlic noodles had a good amount of garlic flavor, if you're a garlic lover, you'll definitely enjoy these. My boyfriend's favorite was the fish balls, which were honestly the prettiest fish balls we've ever seen. The filet mignon in the lomo saltado was tender, and the Crab House Congee was one of the most prettiest presented bowls of congee I've seen, loaded with toppings. This would def hit the spot after spending the day at Disneyland. We'd definitely come back to try more from the menu!

    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. I kind of wish we got one or two more for $45, but either way they were delicious! We had a great time and were sad to learn that the business will be permanently closing down tomorrow (6/28/26), I would have loved to continue going back!
