    It's been a minute I've came here. This was my original Waba Grill I had 1st ever. In this location and has been hooked since! Love Waba Grill. Came here to grab a Rib Eye bowl for my oldest son. Ordering was really easy and fast. Associate was really nice and I received my bowl pretty fast. Rib eye steak is pretty tender & good. Located in the same plaza as Rite Aid. Starbucks & right next to Sushi Pop. Lots of seatings available. Including table booths. It's like any basic Waba Grill fast food restaurant. Parking is pretty easy to find. Tip~ Download the app to receive deals coupons, earn points towards savings & a free bowl on your birthday.

    I come here 2 to 3 times a week. But I will never come back for lunch again. I order the 2 bowl special and ask for extra hot sauce and they told me 35 cents additional per packet. . I can see you have a counter full. What makes it worse she was rude about it. Come on! You being serious. You lost me as customer.

    Chicken plate, sans rice. Extra salad.

    My family gets take out for dinner from this location about twice a month. Food is always cooked fresh to order. Staff is friendly and our special requests are always made with ease and no error. We will continue to pick up food here for a quick and easy dinner on the nights we go to the gym.

    chicken bowl

    Came here Tuesday for lunch. Had the lunch special: 2 small chicken bowls, 2 side, and 2 drinks for $17. The chicken bowls were good but pretty small, I would have preferred to have. larger chicken bowl and no side. We had dumplings for our sides and they were okay, not much flavor. The food was fresh, but I would opt for larger portions. This place reminds me of Flame Broiler.

    Curbside order. It shows on my app that the order was completed but they refused to bring it out to me.

    Extremely rude cashier woman over the phone would not bring me the curbside order that I purchased through the app. She claimed they no longer did it and gave me attitude about it. I ordered curbside from them a few weeks prior and they brought my order out with no issue. If it's no longer offered then make sure that the app shows it is not an option. In the mean time, you guys should honor what your guests paid for and not give attitude about it. Or at least be like I'm sorry we don't offer that anymore but I can do it for you this time since the app has not been updated. I've requested a refund and emailed the feedback support email provided on the website but haven't received anything. It's been a week. Y'all lost a customer.

    WaBa Bowl with Veggies + Avocado

    All the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was very clean. Seating was blocked off; would assume so, due to Covid. The wait for my order was pleasant, as it didn't take long for the food to come out. I love the fact that they have an open kitchen so we can see how the food actually gets prepared - not pulling meat out of bags and microwaving. The food looked and tasted super fresh. I ordered the WaBa bowl (steak & chicken) with veggies and added avocado. Look at the size of these portions. I don't know how she closed the lid. I'm so full I can barely type this review. The owner seems to support local community activities, as I saw numerous plaques of gratitude from little league baseball teams. There was a photo and autograph from Tommy Lasorda framed too. How cool is that?

    I have had better food from other waba grills. Disappointing. In the photo you can see it looks like little rocks. I'm not sure from where they came from (I'm thinking they didn't clean the rice) but this shouldn't be in food. We shouldn't have to worry about chewing on something hard and potentially hurting our teeth while eating. Do better and serve quality food. I won't be ordering from this location again . I called to request a refund for my food since I didn't enjoy it. The manager said he would refund me. I will update when I get the refund to make sure they kept their word. Update: I received a message from Victor and he showed me proof that he refunded me. He also requested the picture I posted to my review so I sent it to him. I will change my review from 1 star to 3 stars because it was nice that Victor did this.

    Steak & Chicken Bowl

    Great customer service! Friendly people. I recommend this location. We ordered 20 bowls for our event and it was ready for pick up on time.

    This is by far the best waba I've been to. It is always consistent with the way they cook their chicken and it's very good.

    I come here about once a week. I always order the teriyaki salmon bowl with avocado, which cost me a little over 8 dollars.

    Had dinner here with my family on a Friday night and we were pleasantly surprised!…read more OMELI Kitchen offers a unique mix of Peruvian, Vietnamese, and Asian Fusion dishes, and everything we ordered was delicious. Our favorites were the Lomo Saltado, Pho Supreme, and Spicy Wontons. The Lomo Saltado was flavorful and tender, the pho broth was rich and comforting, and the wontons had just the right amount of spice. We also enjoyed the Shaken Salmon Fried Rice and Grilled Pork Vermicelli Noodles--both were packed with flavor and perfect for sharing. The Ocean Pacific Jasmine Green Tea was refreshing, and the Taco Coffee was a fun way to end the meal. The restaurant was clean, the service was friendly, and the portions were generous. It's the kind of place where everyone can find something they like on the menu. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot in Fullerton with delicious food and a creative fusion of flavors, I definitely recommend giving this place a try!

It was warm, comforting & so delicious. I shared some with him & we both really enjoyed it. The portion size was also very generous & easily shareable which is always a plus for our family. I ordered the Hawaiian chicken fried rice as well & it was delicious. I loved the pineapple in it. It gave it that sweet & authentic Hawaiian fried rice flavor. I even added a little teriyaki sauce from home which paired really well with it. Our 3 year old enjoyed the fried rice too which always feels like a win. Overall, everything was flavorful, comforting & satisfying. We will definitely order from here again.

We often had to get up and look for a server, which made things a bit inconvenient. That said, the food was definitely the highlight.

The ambience is pretty chill, with enough space for everyone to have their own conversations without it feeling too crowded or loud. Overall, the food is worth trying, but just be prepared for slower service, especially during busier times.
