    Indian girl who took my order was extremely rude to me and the staff behind her. I will not be coming back to this location again. How hard is it to be nice and take my chicken bowl order. Owner of this establishment should look for better attitudes to hire. Thanks

    WaBa that for lunch? https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gwZ8towI3tzgIJ1joVWbmA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Buy One, Get One Chicken Bowl promo Free dumplings w/ first order from the app *Social Distancing review* Never wasting a good promo when I see one, WaBa Grill takes the place of a forgotten & short-lived teriyaki place. Similar to Flame Broiler, complete with skinless chicken (because that's supposedly "healthier"), I knew what to expect prior to ordering a chicken bowl. Chicken bowl- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=JDSP4gEbWb2tNLKgQ9VsyA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Diced, white meat chicken over a bed of white rice, with a slathering of the signature WaBa sauce. On the bright side, the bowl will fill you up. However, coming from a big Yoshinoya fan, the WaBa sauce is required to add flavor tootherwise dry cuts of meat. The rice was fluffy, though. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=zhYmsAEj6FzNbFAwD8V1pQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. On my first visit, I ordered in person. The second, I ordered via the app, both with minimal wait. Parking is via a small private lot, shared by Popeye's Chicken. More available at the adjacent Food 4 Less lot. To-go & delivery are the only available options, due to current events. Maybe if I paid extra for the ribeye, wild caught salmon or shrimp (tofu available, too), the term "meh" wouldn't have popped into my head while eating WaBa Grill's chicken bowl. Fat is flavor, and is good for you. The chicken bowl does provide calories & a substantial meal, but without a promo available, I don't think I'd be a frequent customer.

    I'm regret spending my money on food. Been sick for a month. Was craving something good after being sick for a month. Disgusting old rice dry and crunchy. Dumplings cold and tasted old. Steak as just pieces of randomness and gristle with no flavor. I spent $30 for my son and I and I am so disappointed. I haven't really eaten this month and when I did I get food like this? Despicable I should have just ate cereal or made my own rice. Big fail!!!

    Don't hesitate to eat here…read more Great Thai restaurant hidden in a roadside complex where all the businesses look the same. There's even a hidden 7-eleven in there. On my way to my hotel, looking for a dinner spot, the name caught my eye. I decided to double back and was the best decision I had made all day. Single dining room restaurant with friendly polite young staff. One double-sided menu makes it easy for ordering. This evening, I ordered Thai Iced Tea, Massaman short rib curry, and the coconut rabbit dumplings. The coconut rabbit dumplings were over the top good! Uniquely prepared fried dumplings filled with ground seasoned meat and skewered on a tiny wooden pick with cucumber, papaya or mango, pepper relish was amazing. This is reason enough to dine here! The Thai iced tea was perfect. The Massaman curry was done right and with short rib meat was absolutely delicious. I think I would try it with pork next time. But if there is a next time, I probably would try their green curry. It was a tough choice. But I didn't regret my decision. This was my first visit, but not my last.

The Pad Thai with chicken ($17) was one of the better dishes we tried--good flavor and nicely prepared. The cream cheese wontons ($11) were also very good and probably one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the coconut dumplings ($14), spicy edamame ($7), pineapple fried rice ($19), garlic pepper beef ($19), and pumpkin curry with shrimp ($22). Everything else was okay, but nothing really stood out as exceptional. We also had two Thai iced teas ($12 total). The biggest drawback was the service. It wasn't bad, but it was definitely not very attentive. We would have appreciated the server checking on the table more often, especially during the meal. Our total was $121 before tax, plus $11.19 tax, bringing the bill to $132.19 before tip. Overall, I'd give Coconut Rabbit 3.5 stars. The Pad Thai and cream cheese wontons were the standouts, while the rest of the food was average. With more attentive service and a little more consistency across the dishes, this could easily be a four-star experience.

This local gem is worth a visit for lunch or dinner. The menu offers classic Japanese fare to European (French & Italian) fusion with generous portions. Seasonal and weekday specials are also posted inside. They have a lunch menu and family-style courses priced per person. The full menu is available all day. A few of my favorite entrées are the Uni Spaghetti, Hamburg Steak with demi-glace sauce, Scallops Risotto, and Miso Black Cod when available. Their appetizers are also great, including beef tataki, Peking pork buns, and scallop carpaccio. For beverages, they offer beer, sake, wine, soju, refillable soft drinks, and more. I usually get one of the iced teas, either the iced green tea or the tropical passion iced tea. The dining area is small but cozy, with tables and counter seating perfect for solo diners. They may accommodate small to medium-sized parties, and reservations are recommended for dinner hours. The decor blends Japanese and European styles with a touch of California. I enjoyed coming for either lunch or dinner. The staff has always been kind and attentive. We've celebrated birthdays here, and they offer a complimentary birthday dessert of your choice. Prices are reasonable as well. Looking forward to another visit.

We ended up getting Mango Grahams, Pancit, Siomai and Popcorn Chicken. Before we placed the order, it was communicated clearly from the staff that there would be a wait (there were 3 parties ahead of us, and one of them was huge, so we kinda expected a wait anyways.) We also weren't in a rush and were willing to wait regardless, so that didn't really bother us. The Mango Grahams were exactly and more than we expected; definitely satiated my cravings. The food was also good and arrived in a reasonable manner. Again, we only wanted to check this place out because of the Mango Grahams, but we were surprised at how many other options they had for desserts, appetizers, food, and drinks. It's a bit of a drive for me, but I wouldn't mind the distance knowing the quality and options they have. Also, I briefly looked into this place before driving here, and I was expecting like a quick "boba store" environment, but it also has a sit down ambiance. Great for quick hang outs with friends or sit down meals with your family. Also, I'm specifically writing this review because of the staff. Given how busy they were, I want to recognize how friendly and welcoming they were. There were lots of orders, but they came out in an understandable amount of time, and the person in the front always had a smile of her face. She always communicated clearly and warmly about the waits, and was very accommodating to the customers. I can't wait to go back for more Mango Grahams (and also check out their other menu items!)

Pineapple Fried Rice- Flavorful rice and the contrast of the pineapple pieces was bright and refreshing. They gave us a generous portion. Longanisa- This was served silog style with garlic rice and fried egg. Longanisa was sweet and meaty and paired well with rhe rice and egg. A breakfast classic you can eat any time of the day. Lumpia- This is always a favorite. Fried to perfection so you get a crisp exterior and a juicy interior. Paired well with sweet chili dipping sauce. Good experience but service could be improved.

The decor is modern fast-casual with a bold orange-and-black look, a ribbed black wall with the logo, and orange metal chairs. They had K-pop playing, which was fun while I waited. Service was fine overall, but the greeting felt a little flat, and the cashier assumed my order was to go, saying, "I'm guessing your order is to go, right?" It wasn't a huge deal, but it set a tone that wasn't very welcoming. I ordered the sesame chicken bowl. Presentation was decent at first and I had hope, but the texture and flavor didn't work for me. The breaded chicken was dry and chewy instead of crispy, and the sauce didn't taste like a sesame sauce. A little fresh garnish or actual sesame seeds could have helped, but as-is it felt pretty bland. I took a couple bites and couldn't finish it. I don't mind paying around $10 for lunch when it hits, but this one didn't. I'm glad I tried it, but it wasn't for me and I won't be returning.
