    I usually come here time to time but today I noticed they were having alot of online orders so i understand why they rush, however when I looked at my order I was slightly disappointed because I ordered the Boom boom way for both meals, and they barely even placed the correct amount of veggies. Presentation just wasn't there at all, it looks like they shook the bowl.

    I like Waba Grill the food is always good here and the place is clean. They even have a Christmas Tree for the Holidays which I think is super cool! They have such a variety of healthy food which is really great. The one thing I did t really like is the fact that they are no longer putting the sauce in the bowls and when you ask for extra sauce (they come in little packages now) they limit you to 4. So if I order 3 or 4 bowls I'm going to want at least 3/5 packages per bowl.

    Wanna Bowl but they did not include steak only chicken smh ‍

    As you can see I ordered a wabba which includes steak & chicken. They gave me a chicken only bowl! Where's the steak? Chicken bowl costs less and y'all stole my money! I also asked for green onions and nothing. Ordered online and picked and when I got home imagine my anger!!! Absolutely awful service!

    Been to this place twice - first time didn't go well but I decided to give this location another try and as a result, I will no longer come here. I visited this location during COVID and this place does not abide by COVID guidelines as instructed by the State/county/health department. There was a customer inside with no mask - not once did the workers say anything. The cashier/food handler does not wear gloves - she touches the register, is constantly picking up her pants, and touches food with no gloves which I believe is a violation. She wears heavy makeup and looks Asian/ Hispanic. She is also rude as she does not acknowledge people while the line builds up to place an order. No "hi" or "I'll be with you in a minute." The cook is an older Hispanic lady who instead of handling the food and monitoring - she was busy talking to a customer - chit chatting while everyone was waiting for their food. Unfortunately, the customer service is really bad as well as their effort on maintaining the cleanliness of your food and assuring your safety. Think three times before coming here - there's Chipotle and another Waba nearby -- it's worth the drive.

    This is hands down one of the best non LA brunch places around. I first discovered Namu from a deep…read moredive into Yelp for an extraordinary place to take my girlfriend for the morning. I came across legitimate great reviews and pictures that back it up. For it being Korean, it definitely tickled my curiosity. The food and service held up to my expectations. I won't go into all the details about all the different items that I loved from the menu. If you're a first timer, just go with the Namu Plate. My favorite has always been the fried kale (kale chips) on that plate. I dream about it every couple of weeks. It's that good. That item alone should define what Namu Kitchen is all about. The service is great despite the fact that on busy days, they can be a bit understaffed. That has never bothered me just because I know they are a locally owned restaurant. We're all trying to make ends meet in this economy and that's okay! They work hard to bring you their best every single time. The vibe has always been welcoming. No longer will you have to fight for street parking, go through one way streets, and wait hours just to eat at a hyped Los Angeles brunch place. Save your time and check out Heaven City next door once you close the bill.

The cafe was located in a parking plaza that had a good amount of space. Ordered the following: - Earl Grey Latte (with expresso) - Hochija Latte - Blueberry Matcha Latte - Blood Orange Espresso Tonic - Strawberry Lemonade - Namu Breakfast Plate - Jam & Riccota Toast - French Toast - Kimchi Pancake - Beef Burrito The drinks were aesthetically on point. Each of the drinks really depended on the individual and what the person felt like. Some of the drinks like the strawberry lemonade or blood orange expresso tonic were more on the refreshing side. The other lattes were more on the creamer side but tasted good! The food all looked and tasted good. If you are leaning more towards sweets; then the Jam & Riccota Toast (the half was pretty filling) or the French Toast. The other breakfast food were more on the savory side if that is what you are feeling for the day. Overall it was good and my friends really loved it! I would like to try some of their other menu items!

Overall, the food was excellent, even my Asian parents, who can be pretty critical when it comes to Chinese food, gave most dishes high marks. The crispy noodles had great texture, the West Lake beef soup was comforting and flavorful, and the eggplant portions were generous. The service was what I'd describe as classic Chinese restaurant service. The waitress came across as a little rushed and occasionally seemed slightly annoyed, but she was still attentive and accommodated everything we asked for without any issues. Our food came out at a reasonable pace, and we never felt forgotten or had to chase anyone down. The atmosphere had its own unique charm. The restaurant was playing early-2000s hip-hop while a Chinese gangster drama played on the TV, which made for an unexpectedly entertaining backdrop. The restroom was also clean, which is always appreciated. My only real criticism is the sweet and sour pork. The batter itself was crispy and well executed, but too many of the pieces were mostly breading wrapped around bone with very little meat. It was the one dish I probably wouldn't order again. Even with that one miss, everything else was strong enough that we left very satisfied.

The beef chow mein was good-- while it was lacking some wok hay, the noodles were fried to perfection. Flavor was lacking as well. The beef brisket was tender and the flavor was there but it was slightly tangy/sour-- on the border of doing bad? I've never had this dish taste sour. The typhoon ribs were filled with fried garlic and the ribs came out hot and crispy! I recommend this dish if you like salt and pepper shrimp/chicken-- this is a fun alrernative Service was better than the avg Chinese restaurant. We were 1/3 parties so I'm not sure if it changes when it gets busy. There's plenty of parking.

I came in on a Sunday afternoon around 3pm, and my first impressions walking in was the interior is clean and pleasantly warm. I ordered the creamy mala seafood pasta since it was the most unique dish on the menu. Service was good but nothing special. Creamy mala seafood pasta, 2.5/5: The pasta was inoffensively average. There were some bites that were creamy and some bites that weren't. I honestly thought it could use more cream or butter to add some more richness. The pasta itself was al dente. There wasn't much flavor overall with the dish, and the mala was very mild (for reference, I can handle medium spice levels at other restaurants). The seafood quality was okay for the price. Overall, I thought the ambiance was really nice, but the pasta I ordered was average at best. Maybe I will give this place a 2nd chance and try something else.

Owners are so nice and cool, one is the chef and the other is a pastry chef. Atmosphere and vibes were nice in a Saturday evening, but food could be a bit better. It's fine for a casual dining but nothing really stood out to me except maybe the Kale salad that was good and never really had it that way before. Brother enjoyed his food and was happy with everything. With that said, we will still come back because the owners and atmosphere are still worth the trip. Maybe will try something else on the menu next time.

Located in a busy neighborhood of El Monte, CA, this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Limited parking is available behind the restaurant, and street parking is an option if you can find a space. Upon entering, I immediately noticed how clean, well-organized, and modern everything looked. The electronic menu board is clearly and prominently displayed as you walk in. The menu is quite extensive, with options including wraps, salads, bowls, breakfast items, smoothies, and meal-prepped dishes with chicken, beef, salmon, tofu, and much more. I was impressed by the variety of choices and portions. My wife ordered an Asian chicken salad and garlic edamame, while I had a house salad with chicken and shrimp, plus a strawberry-banana smoothie and (2) protein donuts. Each dish was absolutely delicious. The lettuce in our salads was crunchy and fresh, the chicken and shrimp were flavorful and well-seasoned, the garlic edamame was tasty and cooked perfectly, and my banana and strawberry smoothie--let's just say I wish I had another one right now, as I loved it! If I may make a small suggestion: please chop the lettuce into smaller pieces, as the lettuce on both our plates contained large pieces that we had to cut ourselves. Despite this minor item, it was a positive dining experience, and we definitely plan to return soon to try other items on the menu.
