    Marinated steak plate, half rice, half veggies, and comes with dumplings.
    Tricia A.

    It's easy to miss this place because even though it's in a shopping plaza, it's off to the side away from all the other stores. At the same time, I think that's the reason why it was easy for me to find a shaded place to park under a tree right in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is clean, modern, and simple with huge windows and some word art. I saw touch screen kiosks at the counter and went to them first, but when my sister asked for a customizable plate that I couldn't find on the screen, I had an employee take our orders instead. I'm glad there was a vegetarian option, and that we could pick and choose sides and sauces. Even then when I picked up our tray, the cashier had given us a handful of other sauces to try. We also ordered the dragonfruit mango lemonade which tastes and looks as good as it sounds. If it was a refillable fountain drink, I would've gone back for more. If all you want is a quick and healthy meal, this is a good place to go.

    Came in for lunch with my mom. Got to experience store manager Ladena's great service. She was very kind and attentive to everyone around. Customers seem to know her well. That speaks volumes about the kind of manager she is. Will def be coming back soon. Food always 10/10

    Ladena was so kind and helped me out with my order. The establishment was warm and inviting and clean!! I love how they have specials for kids . I think buy one entree and kids eat free for the second. It's a deal for me. Check out this spot! The food is fresh and I bet you'll want to come back for more

    So it's been a whole year since we ordered and we decided to give it a go again. We saw there was a promotion going on for Saturday and Sundays - you can get a free kids meal with a purchase of a full priced bowl. We ordered 2 steak bowls, one with spicy waba sauce and the other with boom boom sauce. Then we ordered a mini chicken bowl which was free. We placed the order on the Waba App and selected a time for pick up. The promo code was kidz was used since it was the weekend. Apparently you can use the promo code kids for Monday-Friday. Anyways, the ordering process was smooth on the app. During pick up, I checked in with the cashier and she told me that the order was being worked on, I waited for about 10 minutes while the food was being prepped. Mind you, I had selected a time for pick up and this was already 10-15 minutes after the selected time. But anyways, it wasn't a big deal since we were not in a rush, after the food was done being packaged, the cashier called my name and ensure that I had all that I needed: napkins, utensils, and sauces. When we got home and started to unpack the bag, we saw the disparity of meats between the two steak bowls. The only difference between the two bowls were the sauces. One was with the spicy waba sauce and the other, boom boom sauce. But look at the picture! Look at how little the meat that came with the boom boom sauce. I'm just baffled. I guess it was still a better experience than last year and while the food was still enjoyable, I wished the ratio of meat and rice would be corrected for customers. My toddler seemed to have enjoyed the chicken mini bowl though. I also appreciate the attentiveness of the cashier and ensuring that we had all we needed before stepping out of the restaurant.

One of our…read morefavorite Hawaiian restaurants is Aloha Hawaiian Barbecue in Costa Mesa near South Coast Plaza, so we had high expectations going in. The portions here were a little smaller, but the quality was amazing. The white rice with furikake was great, and the mac salad was fresh with a slightly sweeter taste, which I loved. I got the teriyaki plate with chicken and beef teriyaki, and both were tender, juicy, flavorful, and well marinated. The short ribs had an amazing glaze, and the chicken katsu, my girlfriend's favorite, was crispy, juicy, and not overfried at all. Their customer service was amazing too. My girlfriend ran in to grab our food and realized after coming back that she forgot the katsu and teriyaki sauces. When she went back in, the girl working was kind enough to grab them and even asked if she wanted to try any other sauces. Great customer service and amazing food, perfect pair! I highly recommend checking this spot out, and we're definitely looking forward to coming back.

Love everything they make, and their macaroni salad is definitely one of our absolute favorites. Ribs is always a go-to. Musubi is great. Like, you can't go wrong with their menu at all. We always order to-go, but they package it very well. No issue with sauces, and they do wrap things up in a way to prevent spillage. Always appreciate this! Staff has always been kind, and they know what they're doing. There can be a bit of a wait, and it may be best to try and get their early right when the open to prevent longer wait times. The food prices are what I'd expect for some well-cooked meats.

Shabu Wara has been our go to shabu shabu spot since moving to this area and it's been great. Service was never their strength, but we glanced over it since it's the only descent shabu shabu restaurant on the area. Over the past few months, service has gotten exponentially worse with each visit. Our final straw was being seated and left unacknowledged for 10 minutes. No drink orders, no "we'll be right with you", nothing... This would've been the point of walking out, but my kids were saying they were hungry and going to another restaurant at that point would've been too late for their bedtime. I ended up walking up to a server who was about to help another table that was seated after us and said we'd like to order as no one's helped us. After finishing what he was doing, he walked up to our table with an ordering tablet and didn't say a word, just stood there staring at us. He took our order, got it wrong a few times, then FINALLY got our food. Not one server checked in on us the whole meal. Not one server offered the check. Just constant flagging down servers for everything. As I mentioned before, I reached out to management via email to try and bring this up on a professional level, but my multiple emails were left unanswered. I write this not to bash a business, but in hopes management sees this and starts correcting how their staff operates to not destroy an otherwise good restaurant.
