    Tofu Veggie Rice bowl! Be sure to ask for extra teriyaki sauce.
    Yvonne H.

    It has been some time since I've had the chance to stop by since we moved out of state. Tonight, on my way to work, I stopped in. It has changed a bit inside. The employee who helped me was pleasant. I didn't realize the menu changed a bit. Prices, of course I expected. I ordered the Tofu Veggie Rice bowl and added avocado. Small drink.Yum! The wait wasn't bad ,pretty fast. I was shocked that small drinks are kids' size and I had to ask for extra teriyaki sauce. It used to be fill a small cup, like you do ketchup in some places. Now it's packaged. My bag only had one, so I'm glad I asked for two more. I do like my food saucy. When I got to work, it looks tasty. The portion is smaller than I remember, so next time, I'm ordering extra veggies and a tad more rice. I don't mind extra charges. I didn't put hot sauce because I'm still having heartburn issues. Overall, tasty! I'll be back for sure.

    Steak, chicken and veggie bowl
    Vanessa H.

    I am newly obsessed with this place!! I discovered it on DoorDash the other day. I ordered the steak, chicken and veggie bowl with Waba Sauce and green onions. It is delicious! Everything is cooked perfectly and has great flavor. The sauce is a little sweet but not overbearing. I have ordered this several times this week and it's been consistent every time. Food always arrives warm!

    Chicken bowl with avocado
    Cassandra P.

    I was craving Waba grill because I don't have one close to my house so I stopped by on a Friday. I walked in and ordered a Chicken Bowl with Avocado (Avocado is like $1.90 more) and the flavor was good and the chicken was freshly cooked! It appeared there were only two employees working, one was a lady cooking in the back and a younger guy at register. There wasn't tons of people barging in the door, but they seemed busy (maybe online orders or prepping for the Dinner rush). When the guy wasn't at the register he was helping prep food in the back, but I felt like they needed 1 more employee to help on the dining room. So many of the tables had food on them and dust- they needed to be wiped down. The floor needed to be swept and the utensil station was out of forks. Food was good! I just felt like the condition of the restaurant needed more attention.

    They put chairs to block the restrooms

    You have restrooms but you refuse the customers To used them You block the way to the restrooms with chairs and tables

    The food is definitely better than panda in taste and freshness but tiny portion!

    If you're looking for a small portion and you want to pay too much for it and this is the place to taste leaves you wanting more got the steak and vegetable the steak was tender the vegetables were minuscule tiny way too little for an extra charge of a dollar thus Two pieces of broccoli and three slices of carrot for a dollar more and without the up charge there is no vegetables in it wow!

    $13 for 6 shrimp. That's a rip off

    Value is not found here. I paid $13 for a bowl with 6 shrimp in it. I don't plan on coming back anytime soon.

    I was hesitant to order because of the bad reviews but I went ahead to try them. I ordered thru Doordash- steak bowl, Wabimbap & dumplings. They were actually good. The portions were also good enough for the price. The meat and rice portion were perfect which contradicts the bad reviews on Yelp. I did have a missing order- the avocado side. But other than that, I enjoyed the food and I would order from them again.

I couldn't tell you the timeframe of when the current ownership took it over from the previous owner when I first started frequenting Eest. The change was immediately felt. The level of customer care and taste of food changed. Not for the worst, but different. My last visit this month for an order of shrimp fried rice was my final straw and I will find somewhere else to find some food. It has been a very slow spiral downward with the quality of food. I am talking years where the consistency was slipping. Then last month it was as if they forgot what they were doing. What was served to me was edible, but nowhere near what I have been given in the past. I hope it was a bad day for the kitchen for the establishment's sake! Call in takeout orders have been a speed bump. You call in and you're quoted a time of when your order will be ready. You pay for your order when you get there. Then the clock starts. It totally defeats the purpose of the original quoted timeframe.

From an Asian food perspective, I'd give it a 2/5 -- otherwise maybe closer to a 3/5 overall. Service was average, and the overall atmosphere felt more Hispanic-inspired than Japanese fusion. The mango margarita was actually great though -- definitely my favorite part of the experience. As for the food, nothing really stood out. The edamame was overly cooked and mushy. The chicken and shrimp fried rice was disappointing because the chicken tasted hard and chewy, almost feels like leftover chicken reheated. The calamari was okay, very bland, nothing special. The bathroom could also use some work, especially if the restaurant is aiming for a slightly more upscale environment. Overall, if you're coming for the fusion vibe and drinks, you may enjoy it. Although, I'd still probably go to another fusion restaurant with better quality food and better options. I personally wouldn't return, especially considering the price and food quality.

But that was only until their front counter host, Mariano, hooked me up. I told him my dilemma and he was super helpful, upbeat, knowledgeable, and kind. He listened to what Ibsaid and suggested the most amazing bowl I've ever had. And it was ALL his recommendations. I had the teriyaki bowl but added green dragon sauce, spicy teriyaki sauce, green onion, a scrambled egg, chili flakes, and avocado. HOLY Flavor Explosion, Batman! Wow. It was out of this world. I would never have ordered it like this. It was thanks to Mariano. I worked in restaurants for many years, and Employees like him are more valuable than gold. I can't imagine they're paying him well, yet he was enthusiastic and genuine and truly had passion for the food and helping his customers. Mariano single-handedly converted me from not wanting to eat at Tokyo Joe's, to a huge fan of the food- all in a single visit. This guy should be made GM at the very least. Yeah it's a chain, but it's run like a mom-and- pop establishment. It's "healthy" food in that there are no French fries or greasy meals. It's rice-based and is essentially proteins and a TON of mix-ins and sauces. It's well done. All in all, excellent dish, even better customer service. This is how an eatery should operate. Kudos.

Flavor is honestly getting harder to find lately, but this place delivers BIG on flavor and especially on spice. They actually have spice levels from 2 all the way up to 15 (yes, fifteen ). I ordered a level 5 and my mouth was definitely on fire -- in a good way. Next time I might go even hotter because the heat didn't overpower the flavor, it enhanced it. Solid vegan options . My husband tried the Cambodian pho, which was a totally new experience for us since we've only ever had Vietnamese pho., Super comforting, really well balanced. Also huge shoutout to our server -- phenomenal service from start to finish. The restaurant itself is adorable too, with handmade art pieces and even beautiful purses imported from Cambodia for sale.

They communicated their levels as #5 medium, #10 hot and #15 very hot .Didn't sound like they did in between numbers and it seemed like a strange numbering system. The chilli crisp oil on the table was spicy so we started with Cambodian sour soup at medium spice (#5 ) It usually has chicken broth and fish sauce I believe but the owner made it vegetarian for us. The soup was good but it felt less spicy then we wanted. The tartness of the soup was really good though and as we ate more of the bottom of it it had a tad more spice. It was also good with the table chilli crisp oil. It came in a hot pot as we love and they refilled the candle for us. Their spoons were awkward for the shape of the hotpot and it was a little hard to scoop out the soup. Next we decided to try a curry. All their curries didn't have chicken stock. The yellow one also didn't have shrimp paste we were told and we decided to go with that one. We ordered it at #10 out of 15 spice level with tofu and it also came with some veggies. #10 was flavorful but we probably would have been fine with the highest #15 spice level here. When I walked around to see the art in the restaurant I saw a big sign on a monitor saying they don't refund plates that are too spicy. The yellow curry did feel different than a typical Thai yellow curry which was fun and was good. We definitely would go with the highest spice level here if we were to be back here and I think we would have liked it more that way. Good spot for vegan and vegetarian options. Based on this one experience i'd give it 3.5 stars. I'd have to try more and at the higher spice levels to decide between 3 stars or 4 stars. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!
