WaBa Grill - this is what you get for 11 $ last time I come here - Fast Food Near Me - Anaheim, California

1star review for the employee in the red shirt. All the other great employees are in black shirts so maybe this one is the manager? Whatever the case maybe, she's horrible. Very unprofessional, was not wearing gloves as she was handling her personal phone and my food at the same time. She was gossiping on the phone with someone (I know because I know Spanish). Honestly next time I come in here and I see her behind the counter I'm walking out. I threw my food away after receiving it from her. Oh and she gives half portions of everything as if they're running out of food like wth?? Never have I had that happen to me in any other Waba grill, they're always so generous with their servings. But not her I guess. Did not get her name she wasn't wearing a name tag. Thanks for ruining my Lunch break lady **Btw, this wasn't the first time this has happened here with the same lady. read more

Cross contamination Food preparer used plastic glove cooking raw chicken then prepared food without replacing gloves. Update: Was contacted by Waba and issue will be resolved. read more

The girl tonight was just rude and short. I am new to the area and I knew this was a safe choice but for the price you pay and the service you get it really isn't worth it. All I can say is if your that unhappy with your job maybe it's time to change jobs. When a customer comes and tells you their order is wrong you take the whole order back and fix it not just change out the rice and say you can put the rest in yourself. read more

Definitely come here if you want to pay 11 bucks for maybe half a handful of chicken on rice. And if you want barely any customer service than you found your place! Really love all the flies flying around the onions and jalapeños, adds to the charm of the place read more

During this Covid 19 Quarantine every is trying to supports our local restaurants and today we picked Waba Grill. Although they offer FREE delivery, I opted to pick up. It was faster to pick-up vs 45min.delivery wait. I wanted to share that the food was delicious,and the service was super quick. Young lady did her best on a skeleton crew. 1 cook, and 1 cashier. The salmon taste fresh,not dry. I was offered both brown and white rice,plus salad. Meal under $13bucks! I just wish young lady had gloves while handling our order. Maybe they don't offer employees gloves, but she did have a mask on. Again,I was witnessing her diligent work,and friendly customer service to the other pick up patrons. I would recommend this place for a quick lunch or dinner. Call your order in,and pick up is faster then using their Free delivery service. Again, tipping is most appropriate,and I am sure very much appreciated. As scary as at may be to serve food,and do it with care,and safety. They did a great job. I would recommend this location,as it has plenty of parking. Easy to locate on the shopping strip. read more

WaBa Grill - Salmon plate - Fast Food Near Me - Anaheim, California

This location is getting more and more disappointing. If it was not for my son loving the steak bowl so much I would not return. It seems like every time I come in to buy bowls I get less and less meat. I have spoken to the cashiers about my concerns and they could care less. They have scales to ensure the same amount but never use it. They only time I have seen it used is when someone from "upper management" was paying a visit. To come in and consistently spend 40-50 dollars per visit and only get what's seems to 10-15 smalls pieces of diced chicken is absolutely insane to me. Gonna be hard to tell my son we will no longer be going there! So sad to want to support your local business but always seem to get screwed over. read more

People were nice enough. Paid more than I wanted for lunch. Got barely any steak and brown avocado. The soda fountain shot the fountain head in to my cup and sprayed me with sticky soda syrup. Sat down and the table was wiped but they were sticky. So dirty dish towel Im guessing. I was told Louisiana sauce was unavailable anymore when I just ate at the Cypress location and they still have it. I dont know, maybe I caught them on an off day but it seems like from other reviews this is a pattern. read more

Wish I could have taken a picture of my bowl before I tried mixing the beyond scarce meat with the mushy and sticky rice. Basically this is the second time I have been at this location and their waba bowl is a complete joke compared to the Orangethorphe location. They barely add any beef or chicken to the bowl I kid you not the bowl is about 95% rice. read more

I have come to this location a couple of times and almost every time my experience gets worse and worse. It's very obvious the people that work here don't care. The place is always a mess, with sauce all over the table tops and floors, and you never get friendly or prompt service. Yet I've never felt the need to write a review, until now. Today I came in and stood at the counter for almost 3 minutes waiting for someone to take my order. 3 minutes isn't a long time to wait by any means, but what made it bad was that the whole time I was waiting there were three women in the back talking and laughing and the door chimes every time a guest walks in. One woman even looked up and made eye contact with me but said nothing! Finally, after I had my order taken and was waiting for my food, I look up and see an employee talking on her cell phone while she's cutting vegetables and she's not wearing gloves. After that I was pretty grossed out so I didn't end up eating my food. Idk if I'll be back to this location. read more

WaBa Grill - Right before this she was cutting vegetables and holding the phone with her ear. - Fast Food Near Me - Anaheim, California

Great tasting food and customer service. Maria, the cashier greets with a pleasant smile and is always ready to serve. Have become a regular and is always nice to see her. read more

WaBa Grill - Mini beef and veggie bowl, 320 calories. Tasty - Fast Food Near Me - Anaheim, California

Heading into WaBa Grill to try their style, taste, and quality turned out not to be a thrill!! What i ordered is truly what I want when eating teriyaki chicken. I ordered the brown rice and they gave me kale salad as a veggie side item. However, the taste was not within my eating realm. The chicken was not moist and was hard to chew. The kale had no dressing that made it like a salad. The rice was fine but more to eat than any other of your items. The orange was ok but not large. Also, when I ordered my meal, it hardly came out quickly. Bottomline: Again, WaBa Grill was not a thrill and I will be heading to other restaurants that have most of the same in a more tasty manner. Each letter in WaBa stands for the following review: (W)hat (A) (B)land (A)spect!! read more

WaBa Grill - With the chicken dry and the kale having no dressing--WaBa Grill is no thrill!! - Fast Food Near Me - Anaheim, California

Just had the salmon bowl with vegetables at this WaBa Grill and it was the most overcooked and tasteless meal I've ever eaten for $13.45 . I will never stop by here again. Their standards are dropping :-( read more

If I could give this store a negative 1 star I would. They don't use gloves, they don't wash their hands and they cross contaminate the food. It was my first time ever going to WaBa Grill and I won't return. Anytime the the person taking your order, puts a hat on and then proceeds to fix food is a RED FLAG! They use the same tongs for all food including plant based! If you are a vegetarian DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!!! They do not separate the food! read more

Thanks Michael for the friendly service! It is refreshing to see someone enthusiastic after what happened in 2020 and what is still happening. read more

Why open at 8am and not have anything ready to serve or have prepared..change you hours for when your ready to do business ...

Bad customer service at all, maybe she had a long day! just ask for sauce, she act like I beg the food for free. What the world!! Find a new job if you don't like it Ps .The other location they just put the sauce to do by yourself. read more

Wrote my last review stating my concern over the mask less staff. Received a message stating they were concerned and to contact an email and phone number. After multiple attempts at this i got no response at all. They don't really care they just want people to think they do. Again today I got a good view of your workers nose piercing because you know, who needs a mask? This place is a joke. read more

I added additional items to my food and when I got home I realized it wasn't added to my meal. I called to ask if there was any way I can come back another day and have those items added to my next meal, because I paid for it. The girl I spoke to just said "no, sorry" and didn't offer any other solutions. I literally paid more money, didn't get the correct meal, and then was told there was nothing they could do about it. I understand making the mistake, but the customer service was poor. read more

I seriously loved the service that Maria provided for my family and I. Since we walked through the door she greeted us in and was so nice and helpful. The food was served at a timely manner and everything looked fresh. Thanks Maria for providing great service and with a smile on your face. read more

I came in today and Maria, the manager, kalista and Jack, were all so friendly! Definitely will recommend because they got my food out fast and the food was super fresh. read more

Best waba grill I have been too. The chicken ( white meat) is better then all the other locations I've been too. Fast and friendly service

During a rainy day it was ridiculously cold inside! We were not able to dine in & enjoy our food. Very disappointing! Cashier was very unapproachable. ALSO! The drinking dispensers we're not working. They alllll tasted like WATER . Would not recommend this location for a quick easy lunch pick up. read more

Great food and Very nice and friendly customer service from Zaira. She is very lively and positive. Will definitely be coming back

So today is June 24th, Wednesday. Now i dont know if its a new employee who has no idea what the word customer service means but at this time theres this young little girl who has the worst attitude and has no business working at any place that requires some form of customer service. This girl lets the phone ring even when its not busy. She misplaces orders, causing me to miss most of my lunch waiting on an order that was never placed. She has poor sanitation skills, she doesnt wash her hands after cleaning and handling a dirty bucket. She does not apologize when she makes mistakes and unfortunately is almost always there when I am trying to place an order. This place is great but this girl makes it hard to want to come here. read more

I purchased a Large Take out order. Two of my Guests, became ill, 2 hours, after they are. I called this Restaurant, they were already closed. The next morning, I called & asked for Manager. I was told Manager wasn't in. I requested call back from Manager & Owner. No one ever returned my numerous calls! I certainly do not give my Recommendation! Do not eat there, or an illness might occur! My opinion only. read more

Very fast service and yummy as always. Zaira went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Thank you Zaira!

Went in on Tuesday was greeted right away, spoke with Maria she was very helpful and friendly. Food was great, and it's people like her that make you want to come back again. Thanks for the great service and food, will be back!! read more

Just had the most repugnant chicken bowl because the char was so bad. Whoever was running the grill around 6pm @1/27/22, you may want to consider another line of work because grilling is not your thing. read more

I use the WaBa rewards app and 1 point equals a dollar spent. 120 points would get you a free bowl. You would have to spend 120 dollars for a free bowl (equals 8.99), which would take some time to accumulate. I used it today and 120 points just gets you 5 dollars off. Not even a free bowl anymore. read more

I detest Yelps star rating method. They should offer "no stars". Pros and cons: Pros: new building, ample parking, clean interior, new appliances etc Cons: inadequate service and employees unable to process a correct order. Constantly having to check your to-go order as well as your dine-in. Okay, this is a brand new location in the Rite Aid plaza. All new building structures. The access to the restaurant is a breeze. Ample parking. My biggest pet peeve is the lack of attention and detail . I'm not sure where the disconnect is between the employee taking the order and the cook preparing said order. I've been at this location five times and every single time without fail they have made an error with the order. Either wrong protein (meats), error in starch (white or brown rice) and lack of comprehension to add ons. Yet, charged for it. I gave them more than enough opportunities to rectify their shortcomings as they're a new business and granted most businesses need to work out the kinks. Management seriously needs to review their employees performance or replace the manager that isn't managing. It's absolutely frustrating to have to correct a order in one dining experience three times!! I figured they would spit in our food as retaliation, ha. I asked for a refund and went to In-N-Out instead and indulged in a Animal Style Double Double with extra toasted buns and a Neapolitan shake to drown my devastation and sorrow. In-N-Out for the save. WaBa Grill, take note. read more

Rebecca was great with me. I bought 4 veggie rice bowls with beef and chicken for Father's Day. Beef and chicken were good but the brown rice and broccoli were hard to chew. Rice should be firm but not chewy. Broccoli should be cooked thorough with a slight crunch. Dad was really disappointed. $43.00 later, so was I. It was around 2:00 pm. So the time wasn't an issue. read more

I love waba grill HOWEVER this location is horrible for the fact that all the workers are extremely rude and have attitude. Your job is to service customers and for me to come in with a happy attitude and leave angry because from the beginning I walked in and said hi and I didn't get a response, that's fine I brushed it off, then when I was ready to order the manager rudely asked "what is it?"..... like what does that even mean? I think it's common sense to ask what would you like and once the food was ready she didn't even call it out she just placed it on the counter and went to the back The food is typical waba so I gave it 2 stars because I like it but this service is ridiculous and needs to be changed read more

Really happy with this waba grill close to my new apt. Felt very welcomed by a cashier named marcie i think she was very nice and takes care of me every time i go i love waba so go often read more

Low stars! I just ordered a short rib place with side veggies and Arcadian salad, but they got me two bowls of them. I was like huh? What? I thought they were supposed to put them in the plate together. I didn't ask for spicy Asian salad. I said Arcadian salad on my phone when I showed him. I noticed there's a steak in it. I was like but I said short ribs, then the guy with glasses and braces said they don't have ribs. I was like are you kidding me?? I'm confused. Why didn't he tell me? And he forgot to add avocado on the top. He's not good at doing his job. I wasted my money on it. I'm very highly disappointed. I won't come back to this location ever again, because they always mess up with my orders and they don't understand me. That place is not worth it. I hope everyone read my review and they should not there. read more

The food is great and the service is awesome !!! Last time I checked though it said it was a Fast Food, Asian Fusion. When I usually go in somewhere to relax on my lunch break I want to eat peacefully and quietly. I don't mind light music in the dining area, but why on earth does it sound like a Pandora Mariachi band radio station from someone's cell phone with commercials and all?!?! read more

Disappointed. I usually go to Teddy's Cafe Or Yogis for my teriyaki meals. Thought I would give this new Waba gill a shot. Have been to others in the past. First off what drew me here was I saw a sign of there new spicy pork. Looks really good so I go in around 6pm and I ask for the spicy pork plate. SORRY SIR WE ARE OUT....ugh really at 6pm on a Friday. Ok well I get 2 chicken bowls instead. Here's the next big disappointment. The wife and I are eating the bowls and every few pieces of chicken was just fat and chewy. So so disappointed in this Waba that was just built on the center I grew up going to. Not sure I'll ever go back. Maybe when firehouse subs open next door I'll give them one more shot with the spicy pork!! read more

There was alot of options from the menu and Maria helped me choose my plate for todays lunch she was very helpful and she got me a healthy plate. She is such a great girl and with a lot of enthusiasm helped me with my order. Thanks Maria for that great service you give to your customers i would recommend this Waba Grill to my friends and family! Maria will be seeing me very often here with her service it made me feel very welcomed. Definitely caming back to this place. read more

Micheal banos help me out today and was very nice and helpful , got my food out quickly as well ! Always with a smile as well !

I started going to this place this year and have gone nearly every week since! The food is fresh and delicious, and love their sauces and condiments, especially their carrots, jalapenos, and green onions! My honest opinion, I like their chicken beef and shrimp bowls, but their salmon is just so-so. Prices are kind of high for fast food but its because the food is fresh and real! read more
