Waba Thai Tea
Moses P.

thai tea is really tasty and clean tasting Waba thai tea seems to be tastier than the thai tea from other boba shops , and the price seems to be reasonable too. and chicken taco is very good I recommend

LOL! I'm never coming back to this Waba Grill. The meat portions are so small. I need more characters to post this.... The meat portions are so so so so so so so so so small.

a variety of items on display

Let me tell you when your roommate has a craving for late night Asian style food and wanted to be healthy, this is where you go. I was so lucky I got the white meat bowl with white rice and five potstickers I only managed to save a bite for myself so I could tell you how delicious it actually was my roommate had to enjoy the rest but for less than $15 to get both an hors d'oeuvre and a main course? This is got to be the place to go the store was exceptionally clean and both people that work there were extremely helpful and very funny. !Hats off to this Waba Grill!!

New location on Balsa Chica & Edinger
Mona Q.

This Waba Grill , Is located right next to 7-Eleven on Bolsa Chica St and Edinger Ave They opened before pandemic and it has adapted to the new covid-19 rules. Currently they have take out, delivery and outdoor seating for now. Like most restaurants, you can call in your order or you can always just walk in to order. We have been here several times and usually get the chicken bowl or salmon bowl. The chicken is tender and well, seasoned as well as a perfect individual bowl size. have been here several times and usually get the chicken bowl. The chicken is tender, welll seasoned and is the perfect individual size. We're to support local business and appreciate them as they' have been open during these difficult times.

Steak bowl

Got their steak bowl and it's my fav! The steak tastes like korean bulgogi and it's super fresh and tender! The flavoring in this bowl is on point! Would def rec this!

Rude employee

I assume this is a local franchise owner. If so, you need to train your people better. I've watched this place being built, finally got my chance to go get the family dinner. Since it was my first time at a WaBa I had the audacity to ask a question. I thought it was simple but I got the tude. I asked "what's the difference between a plate and a bowl". The lady in the photo mumbled something towards the register while looking down. Keep in mind they are blasting music in the place. I told her I couldn't hear her and then she turned around and mumbled towards the menu board. I then said "I'm not understanding you over the music." I tried one more time and she answered "is that all?" with that I'm too good to speak up attitude. It's less about what she said and more about the attitude. Hard to explain in a review but you could tell right away she hates this job. I don't get it, why not try to make a good impression on the locals, perhaps even with a greeting and a smile? Seems easy enough. But no, instead you get an attitude. Look I get it, you hate your job, next time apply to work in the library basement.

Came in during a slow afternoon, but the service was fantastic: quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly. I don't think I've ever seen a server that happy if i'm being honest. Great fish selection for nigiri/sashimi, and they definitely don't skimp on portions. The slices were slightly thicker than what you typically get at most Japanese restaurants, but not overwhelming at all. Because of that, the nigiri and rolls do come with a bit more rice as well, but everything was well-balanced. Also ordered the Brussels sprout appetiser, which was a standout and easily one of the best Brussels sprout dishes I've had. Each sprout was perfectly coated with Parmesan cheese and nori. I'm addicted. Overall, a great spot with quality fish, exceptional service, and a cozy vibe. Will definitely be back.

For the main course, the Spicy Miso Carbonara is a must-try. It has the perfect balance of richness, spice, and umami, making it one of the most memorable pasta dishes I've had. To finish, the tiramisu is absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to the meal. What really sets INI apart is the outstanding service. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and consistently makes every visit feel special. As a fun bonus, we even thought we spotted an actor from Squid Game dining there during our visit, which added to the excitement of the evening. Highly recommended--I can't wait to come back!

I've been to Ini numerous times and my friend and I recently stopped by to try their summer menu…read more The ambiance is modern, stylish, and always a great place for a date night or dinner with friends. We ordered the calamari, crab roe spaghetti, short rib gnocchi, and a yuzu rita. The calamari was crispy and packed with flavor. The marinara sauce wasn't anything special but our server recommended their house calabrian chili sauce and it was so good. The short rib gnocchi was probably my favorite dish of the night. The short rib was incredibly tender and the sauce was rich without feeling too heavy. The crab roe spaghetti was also a hit. The sauce was creamy, packed with crab flavor, and they were pretty generous with the crab meat. My only complaint was finding a piece of crab shell in the pasta which was a little unpleasant. The yuzu rita was refreshing and helped cut through the richness of the heavier dishes perfectly. Shoutout to Anthony for being so sweet and helpful throughout our meal!! I've always loved Ini for its creative menu and consistency. Can't wait to come back and see what they come up with next!

The atmosphere was relaxing, the waterfront view was beautiful, and it felt like a great place to slow down and enjoy the evening. The food was well prepared, came out fresh, and everything we ordered was enjoyable. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff made us feel welcome throughout our visit. What I appreciated most was how easy and comfortable the entire experience felt. Good food, a great setting, and quality service made for a memorable night out. We'll definitely be back the next time we're looking for a nice dinner in Long Beach. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great date-night spot.

As a long time patron, I had to give them another chance after the bloodbath of mothers day…read more It was a Monday, so probably not a fair comparison, but service was excellent and so was most of the food. We overtipped, to probably compensate for our last visit. However, the new kitchen manager has clearly changed the calamari (10/10 before, 3/10 now, to the point I felt embarrassed that I'd waxed poetic about it to my out of town guests, who didn't have more than a few pieces, and the ones I ate were just to kind of toe a line), and this is pedantic, but sesame buns for the sliders was a weird choice. So they're no longer on my shitlist, but I do think I'm going to need to try different go-tos. I'm almost scared to try the tuna tartare (my other go to) after the change in the calamari and sliders. I really so desperately urge management to bring back the former chef, because the current one really seems to expending the least effort possible. And for the record, there was a "specials" slip left on our table, with one of the items noted as "sold out." On a Monday, by 5p. Something is going wrong here. I'm going to try yet again, but the changes that have thus far been made absolutely suck. Ambiance still a 10/10.
