    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.

    Another gem found. I haven't stopped thinking about the food here since I first had it last weekend…read morelol. Namu Kitchen has been on my bookmarks for some time but I was putting it off because I was afraid the portions and quality wouldn't measure up to their prices but I was sooooo wrong. Their breakfast plates are absolutely ginormous and my friends admitted they're usually picky eaters but ate pretty much most/all things on their plates. I decided to go with the bulgogi sandwich based on our waiter's recommendation and it was amazing! So flavorful and the bread was great too. Their salad dressing was tangy and sweet. The brioche toast with homemade jam was also better than I was anticipating. The main star for me was the chicken karaage. The pieces were huge but still so juicy inside.. and the batter was light yet very crispy. Paired well with their house garlic aioli. Only thing we all agreed was a miss was the mango cloud coconut matcha unfortunately :( didn't find it to have much flavor. Definitely interested in trying their hojicha or earl grey lattes next though! Oh and everyone who works here is so incredibly helpful and friendly.. never felt rushed and trusted them to make great recommendations.

Parking is relatively packed in this lot, but I'm sure you can find a spot if you circle enough times. We ordered their breakfast plate and jang-jorim burrito. I was pleasantly surprised by how large their portions were - the pictures on Yelp don't represent the size as well. We split the jang-jorim burrito and we could barely eat any of the breakfast plate as a result, so we took most of it home. Quality-wise, everything is super fresh and high-quality, nothing felt overly salty or oily. I liked that every plate comes with something extra and that it leans on the healthier side, whether it's salad or fruit. I also had one of their specialty lattes and it was so good. The flavors blended really well without being too sweet. I definitely look forward to coming here in the future for when we're looking for a healthier meal out.

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.

We had a few selections of food and we thought it was good but not the best. We think it can be amplified more with extra salt ? Or soy sauce?

I am so glad we chose Hide Out Cafe in Rowland Heights to have our celebration. The food is delicious, the staff is so friendly, and the cafe is so cozy and welcoming. My brother was sponsoring our meal since he couldn't make it, so of course we had to go all out and order two drinks and two main dishes. (Thank you, big brother)! I got the Boba Bear Set $8.50, which comes with a drink and two house-made cookies, and my mom got their Tiramisu Latte $7.00, which is heavy on the coffee liquor, to be honest, but we had fun with it. The drinks are crafted beautifully, and with the open cafe concept, you can see they pay attention to the small details of their crafted drink menu. The house-made cookies that were a part of my Boba Bear Set are not to be forgotten. The cookies are buttery, decadent, and delicious; they are the perfect tea cookies to pair with! I can't wait to go back and try more of their fun drinks and maybe bring a study book the next time. For our main dishes, we shared the Chimi Wagyu & Frites $35.00, and the Fresh Avocado Toast $19.00. We both love eggs so of course we had to get something with eggs in our dish. My mom loved her avocado toast, and they were very generous with the avocado as well on there. The salad is a definite hit with us and included a great dressing on the side. The eggs were cooked perfectly on top of our toast and steak. The frites with my steak were crispy and seasoned well. I also loved the chimi sauce with my steak as well. The portion was huge so we were able to take some back home to enjoy another day. Overall, my mom and I had a great experience and would absolutely come back for another sip of their lattes and try another fun drink on their menu. We left with happy smiles and full stomachs, and can't wait to come back soon.

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.

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.

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.
