    Chicken Bowl with avocado
    Adriana O.

    This is my first time coming to this Waba Grill on my way home after seeing a friend who lives in the area. I ordered a chicken bowl with avocado for $11.22, the serving size was a pretty good sized lunch for one person. I ordered the bowl without the sauce and the chicken was made and seasoned to order. I called ahead of time to place my order for pickup and it was available pretty quickly - within 10 minutes. The inside of the restaurant is clean and has a good amount of tables and chairs. I'm sure any date or family would be comfortable eating here.

    I'd take a bite but this is the amount of meat they gave me. And it was cold.
    Staci E.

    The steak bowl was cold ( idk if that was the driver or the restaurant) second, it was 90% rice. Barely any meat I wouldn't order from here again. I had to take a picture it was so egregious. I'd take a bite before I took the pic but I assure you they really play in my face with the 3 table spoons of cold steak and all that rice. Whoever made my food should definitely be ashamed.

    New Menu as of 11/30/2023 with new management.

    My kid wanted Dumplings, we were driving by WaBa Grill and decided to stop by to get the 20pc Dumplings for a quick takeout. As you walk inside, the floor feels sticky, dirt footprints, and dirty all around the tables. There was no acknowledgement from the person in charge. (No name tag). Dumplings were good, I do enjoy WaBa Grill's food. (VisitInfo: 6/9/22 Thurs/4:22pm) Food: 5 out of 5 Cleanliness: 2 out of 5 Customer Service: 2 out 5 Overall Experience: 3 out of 5

    Great service and food!! I love all the figurines and Asian vibe!!…read more The two plates for $15.99 lunch special is awesome!! It even came with miso soup, seaweed salad, and eggplant. You can add your desired protein for a few dollars more. The food was very appealing and flavorful!! Get here to try out food!! Yum!!

    My wife was really looking forward to trying this place. We go to Eat Fantastic for their breakfast…read moreburritos and it had been a while since we had been. To our surprise, we found this "new" place, The Second Wind. The menu looked enticing and the lunch specials really looked like a great deal. So we decided we needed to come back for lunch and soon. A week later, we returned. Parking is very easy in the free lot for the complex. The interior design is energenic, vivrant with amazing looking Asian inspired pop art. Very cool interior. You can be seated and served or order to go. They have a combination lunch special, two items for $15.99. But, many of those items have an up charge if you add a protien. Either way, in these times, $16 for two items is reasonable. Our server greeted us quickly and let us choose the table of our liking. There are a handful of booths and open tables. My wife ordered the Beef Bulgogi and the Eggplant. I ordered the Chicken Dumplings and the Garlic Noodle (adding chicken for $2 more). The portions are generous. Light eaters might be able to just order one two dish combo and share. The Beef Bulgogi was good but the veggies looked a bit dehydrated. The Eggplant was just okay. The Chicken Dumplings were very tasty but served cool. I ordered them steamed and expected them to be warm at least. The Garlic Noodles with chicken was the biggest disappointment. To me, and my wife, over cooked with crunchy pieces. The chicken was also over cooked, dry and tough. When our server asked how things were, I mentioned it. He didn't seem surprised. I asked if the noodles were always dry and he said yes. He offered to bring more sauce, which he did. I added it but it didn't make the chicken any better. In the end, I left 90% of it. They only have cans of sodas so no refills but they are attached to a tea house that serves a great selection of teas, bobo, etc. There was some good things but more not, overall, we were disappointed. Honestly, I was a bit surprised they didn't offer to replace my dish or offer a small discount. They could see the pile of food I left. Anyway... Hopefully your experience and food preparation will be better than ours and...enjoy!!!

Went early to see if anything opened or if walk-in would be faster, surprisingly they actually had something come available sooner. We opted to sit inside and loved the ambiance. Food - amazing! I read reviews first and watched a couple IG videos so I knew a general idea of what we wanted to order. Glad the server suggested the orange chicken over the walnut shrimp when we were debating it. Chil wontons, absolutely a must get, different from DTF, not crazy spicy but full of flavor and richness. XO fatty noodles, perfect chewiness on the rolled noodles and the flavors were well balanced, we enjoyed them with a little chili paste and the orange chicken as the protein. Orange chicken, soooo much more flavorful than your average Panda Express orange chicken, good sized nuggets of chicken that were crispy and tender at the same time, and the zest livened it up. BBQ pork shank, our server did warn us it's not the easiest to eat, but it's worth it, hard to see cutting it off the bone because it was so dimly lite in the restaurant and your hands will get sticky but once you get chunks off the bone and your bao bun built it's delicious especially when you get the lacquered crispy skin yummm! Only skip for the night was the mango sticky rice. Much rather would've spend $8 on something else. The mango was tart/sour. The sticky rice was too wet and mushy. It was a pass for both of us. Service - our server was awesome. From greeting to end, he was the right amount of attentive and was super helpful with suggestions. Everyone from the food runner to the busser, they were all so nice. From getting us chili paste or to go containers, customer service was on point. Parking - love love that are a few parking spaces right out front. They're metered. But after 8pm it was free so perfect for us. Other than those spaces, there's a lot across the street if you want to risk it or also side streets parking too.

    I've heard good things about Little Fatty and the Accompliace Bar cocktail menu from several people…read moreand finally had a chance to check it out. The drinks rotate and I was bummed that I didn't get a chance to try the Ube martini. I got the All Betts are off which is made is guava infused mazcal and it was pretty strong. The smokiness from the mazcal and a hint of fruit gave this drink a unique taste. I will definitely order it again. I also had the bad bunny, I expected it to be slightly sweet from the orange and carrot foam but it was also made with mazcal, and the smokiness took over. Still good, but not what I was expecting. Another person got the Big Strawbowski and she said it was really thick, it had brandy in it and said it tasted like a dessert cocktail. She also had the Fast Car which was mostly ice. She seemed to like it. Apps: the crispy wontons were cooked perfectly. Had a good favor and one of my favorite dish of the night. The squid Ink Xiao long baos were ok, but we let it sit a little too long and it was cold and chewy by the time we actually ate it. So the flavors were ok, it didn't really stand out to me. Mains: the garlic noodles dish did not taste like garlic noodles. I honestly didn't even taste the garlic, but maybe because as a garlic lover, I over use garlic in every thing haha. The orange chicken was also decent, it was light, perfectly sticky and tasty. The walnut shrimp was also decent, well battered and had a nice flavor. Our server was very nice and answered all the questions we had, me from inquiring about the drinks to my friend's dietary restrictions. The resturant itself was trendy and a nice place for good drinks and decent food. I want to go back and try the Hainan Chicken!

    Ladybug Cafe is a Hawaiian-style restaurant that has a nostalgic feel, like my grandparents' home…read more Some of their popular dishes include chicken katsu, fried chicken, butterfish, beef stew, and mac salad. They also offer burgers, sandwiches, and poke bowls as well as breakfast dishes. I finally came here for lunch and it wasn't too busy on a Wednesday. Hubby got the Ahi Tuna Poke Salad and it was a generous portion! The ingredients were fresh and the ginger miso dressing was delicious. I got the Chicken Katsu and Fried Chicken Combo, which came with salad, rice and mac salad. The Fried Chicken was seasoned and fried to perfection! So juicy too. The chicken katsu was a bit disappointing though. The chicken was pounded paper thin and the panko crust, although it was crispy and not too oily, separated from the chicken. The sides were pretty average. I heard they also have live music on the weekends and evenings, which is great in their spacious dining area. Love the cute drawings and messages from locals and the collection of ladybugs and lucky cats. I would come back since I work close by. I would definitely get the fried chicken again and try other dishes on their extensive menu. Friendly and efficient service. Free parking lot in the back.

The service was nice. We came here because all of the locations we wanted to try were really booked with long waits. I was surprised there was no wait or not many people here on such a busy night. Glad we got to try it and cross of the list. The décor here is also really interesting with an open kitchen and patio. Also, speaking of open kitchen, there's a 3% charge on the food that's call Kitchen Love. Not sure if that's the standard at restaurants in the area or if it's on the menu but that can definitely rack up with a full dinner with friends. As for parking, there's meters if you're lucky to snag a spot or there's plenty of parking structures in the area.

    If you're not coming to Sausalido Cafe you're missing out on more than just great tasting food!…read more I've been here a few times and the owner, Julius, is always there greeting you when you first walk in, welcoming you with a genuine "hello" and bright smile whether it's your first time or you've been before. I stopped in on a Tuesday for lunch and knew I was going to get the curry puffs. The last time I ordered these I was with a friend and had to share but not this time. I was on a solo lunch and looking forward to the puffs! To say they are "perfect" seems insufficient. They were fried incredibly well, hot, crunchy, tasty, but never greasy. And these little puffs were filled with minced beef, potatoes, and seasoning! For my main dish, I chose the dragon noodles (pad thai) with chicken. All the veggies in the dish were cooked perfectly, nothing too mushy, just the right amount of crunch/bite to the cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. And the chicken was chunky! And while I loved everything about the dish, the sprinkling of the crushed peanuts was *chef's kiss*. There's no skimping on those peanuts here. As I write this I'm excited for the leftover noodles waiting for me. When you walk into Sausalido you really do feel welcomed. The space is unassuming in the best way possible. Posters of the drinks they offer (coffee, smoothies, boba) adorn the walls, along with pictures of the various food items they have. The restaurant is across the street from Alondra Park and there are other businesses in the center. So, if you need to do your laundry do that and grab a meal at Sausalido. Get a massage and then get food at Sausalido. Get your nails done and head next door to Sausalido for a treat. Get here and get here quick!
