    Ready to go home.  ALL chairs placed on tables at 8pm
    Food L.

    I was craving WABA grill today. I checked the time they closed which is 9pm. I show up at 8:10pm and noticed that all the chairs are all placed upside down on the table like they are closed. Grant it, they are in there taking orders. I sure don't want to enter and feel like I needed to eat fast because they are ready to close and I sure don't want to have to put my own chair

    I'm back at WaBa Grill on Telegraph in the City of La Mirada! I ordered my Rony special bowl thanks to Miranda's recommendation! Love the food and great customer service as well!

    Eat smart, be healthy with Waba Grill! This is a great place to grab a quick meal to dine in or for take out. We got the Chicken Veggie Bowl with salad and avocado. Steak Veggie Bowl with brown rice and avocado. We also got the 10 pc dumplings. Getting the half avocado added to your bowl is so worth it. The steak is better than the chicken. I liked the Waba sauce. Good flavor so make sure to drizzle it on. The brown rice is a little plain so the Waba sauce helps. My only thing...visually, I wish the avocado looked better (for pictures lol) It's a great option if you're trying to eat healthier.

    Dumplings and Sweet and spicy chicken bowl I have left over for a snack later yummm

    Daily buyer here; Fantastic service, fast turnaround and overall great place for a meal that's both delicious & health tolerant. Miranda & the Waba team does a great job! They added tacos which is a plus; deff recommend

    This is the amount they gave me. Very little.

    Went to waba grill today and ordered a steak bowl and it looks like they barely gave me any food. Look at the picture and let me know if this normal.

    Waba grill app allowed orders and took my money. They Ran out of food and and did not even provide a refund. No food, stolen money.

    I used to eat here atleast once a month but will not be returning. About a month ago, I purchased food for pickup using the waba grill app and when I drove over at the assigned time, a sign on the door said they ran out of food. Although it would have been nice to be notified before driving there, I was okay, it happens I expected a refund immediately but they asked me to call back the next day when the manager is there. I called the next day and the manager is not there. I try 3 days later and get through to Kristen who said they will process a refund. Its been almost a month and no refund. I filed a dispute with my credit card company. Really bad business practices and basically providing no food and locking up my money for a month...never again

    Excellent service. I was greeted as I walked in the door! Miranda and Ariana were super helpful with any questions I had regarding the menu! I will definitely be back. Can't wait to try the new taco!

    This WaBa is getting worse all the time. Three bowls today and the are only half full.

    Love Waba Grill. Taste is so much better than Flame broiler, and they can add avocado for a little extra$, but so worth it!

    The pasta was okay, my brother ordered that and I am not a fan. The flavor was extremely light…read more I ordered the ribeye and a side of rice. The rice was only $2 which is rlly nice. the ribeye was ordered medium rare and come out perfectly. While the center of the ribeye was lacking a little flavor and the crust wasnt the best, the cap of the ribeye was cooked beautifully and actually tasted very good. I've had many steaks while dining and this was the first steak to be cooked so evenly, and have flavor without overseasoning. The sleeper item of this whole meal however was the mash potatoes. extremely creamy, smooth, and rich. we also ordered the calamari as an appetizer (pictured not included) and the sauce was good, the calamari itself was okay in terms of taste, but the presentation was unique. it was the first time ive ever had to cut up my own calamari. scissors were given with the dish, and instead of the typical rings, it was more like whole squids fried up.

    This is my second time here, I brought my friend to taste the fusion of Korean dishes. She loved…read moreall the food we ordered, including the drink. You order from the kiosk on your table and the robot will bring it to you. Ofc , the server will be there to grab the dishes and put it on the table for you, cool right! They serve regular and alcoholic drinks . We didn't wanna get drunk , so we both ordered the Yuzu Grapefruit drink , and it tasted delicious! The moment we walked in she felt in love with the atmosphere and romantic vibes inside the restaurant . It's pretty cool and classy romantic at the same time. Great for dating and any gatherings. The high booth makes it more private for conversation. Plenty of parking outside. You can also take a walk after a full meal around the plaza. Great place to hang out !!

    I absolutely loved this place! My friend had her graduation dinner here and it was the most fun…read moreI've had in a long time. The atmosphere was amazing, the staff were SOOOO FRIENDLY, food was tasty and there was a photobooth in the back! Such a great place for drinking and bar food. Food we had: Sweet and spicy chicken 8/10 Soy garlic chicken 7/10 Fried chicken gizzard 10/10 Bossam 8/10 Kimchi fried rice 7/10 Rose tteokbeokki 7.5/10 Overall the food was great! Especially paired with beers and soju I'd recommend this to anyone in the area. I am so happy this place is in my area!

    After last night I was ready to just write this place off and move on. Then I checked my bank…read morestatement today and saw that my tip had been increased by $10 after the fact. That is where this crosses from bad service into outright shady behavior. We came in as a group for dinner and the experience was mediocre at best. The restaurant was so dark we had to ask for additional lamps, which didn't even stay on. The service button at the table didn't work, so we repeatedly had to flag down the two servers. Water refills were forgotten. Basic attentiveness was missing. Nothing about the service justified anything beyond "okay." Our server eventually replenished our onions and broth, and perhaps that single "heroic" act went to her head- because after we paid and were already heading to our car, she ran out after our group. Our server, ASHLEY ran out to the parking lot to tell me my total was incorrect. I had accidentally written $170 instead of $178 due to a minor handwriting error. Understandable- so I corrected it immediately. That should have been the end of it. But it wasn't. She then had the audacity to question why her tip was "only 7%." I told her the service was just okay and we left. No argument, no scene- but it was already inappropriate and unprofessional to confront customers about their tip in the first place. What's completely unacceptable is what happened next. The finalized charge posted as $188- not the corrected $178. That means she added an extra $10 to my tip without my consent. Let's be clear: that is not a "mistake," that is altering a signed receipt and helping yourself to someone else's money. For context, my intended tip was $14.95- about 10% of the subtotal. More than fair for the level of service we received. Tips are optional, not owed and certainly not something a server gets to revise after the fact because they feel entitled to more. This was downright tacky, dishonest, and a complete breach of trust. I have already filed a dispute with my bank as I have a picture of what I signed before leaving the restaurant and I strongly recommend others check their receipts carefully and document it before leaving as well. But if you are smart, you would avoid an establishment that employs such an abhorrent server with no integrity or shame. Do better.
