Terrible service. The guy didn't even speak to me. If WaBa is part of a mute hiring program, I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise, probably not going to be a customer there anymore. read more

Food is decent here, just avoid the pot stickers and salmon. Pot stickers tasted like bleach. Salmon is always dry and probably microwaved.

Waba grill is notorious for the freshest food. Brown rice bowl with beef and chicken, veggies and green onions is yum yum good. Go here when you are looking for lean quisine read more

When I just came in this place smelled so so so bad. To a point I had to start breathing through my mouth. Then I came to the register and this guy is the most disrespectful person and rudest on earth !!! read more

Great food, clean eating, great service. We had a group of 20+ that they quickly prepared food for, during Covid times. Will definitely be returning! read more

Solid place. Food is always outstanding! Clean establishment. Staff is very friendly.

Okay everyone for sure pass on this wabagrill go to any other location trust me . They're obviously trying to save money because they don't give you any chicken in their bowls I know this because I eat the same thing almost every day and I have to drive an extra five miles to go to another waba grill . but go ahead and find out for yourself they literally sprinkle about 1/4 of the amount of chicken on the bowl. I got a mini chicken bowl and it's always nothing on it it's so sad so that I upgraded to a regular bowl and all they did was dump another scoop or two of rice and hand the bowl back to me. so if you want a regular chicken bowl pass on this location take the extra time and go to the foothill ranch waba grill! you will be very satisfied. I hope the owners are reading this because guys stop trying to save money by skimping out on the amount of chicken u put in your bowls. it's ridiculous. you guys do this every single time. I'll go back in just to test it out and it's always the same. tiny little sprinkle of chicken. read more

Been going here since it opened. Only issue I had was their rice tasted undercooked. Several visits later, over a period of 6 months and I can now say that their rice is now on point. Delicious. Waba is delicious, consistent and affordable. My go to! read more

We ordered 2 chicken bowls to go and got the equivalent of a single bowl of chicken split between both bowls. Additionally the employee behind the counter had provided horrible customer service a bad attitude. It will be the last time we go to this particular WaBa. read more

I would give it 0 stars this location is just terrible now not sure if it's the management or what. But to give attitude to the customer to remake food is just ridiculous, like how is it my fault if I ordered through your website to get a delivery and door dash didn't deliver the food. (I understand it's not their fault) but like remake the food or something offer a free drink anything. Yet you look at me like well it was taken from here so it's not our problem it's door dashes... like wth. I had to play telephone with a different location just for them to translate what I'm asking for. I'm sorry but at least have a manager who can speak fluent English not to be rude. They definitely don't compensate for your time or anything when it wasn't your fault. I had to drive to the location to explain what happened. I was just told call door dash when I ordered through their company website it was baffling. Luckily doordash customer service was wayyyy better than this place. Don't use their website ever for delivery they did good before in the past now it's just depressing. I asked for the other location to give me corporate number and was told you can get it on the website (can you just give it to me) and proceed to be told you have a phone WiFi and internet don't you like wow. Terrible customer service. The man on the phone I spoke with told me I would be compensated but the manager at the location who mostly speaks Korean told him she can't do that. Please don't use this location. Just terrible people and management. read more

So I have to post a review as I only think it's fair based off of the quality. Went to this WaBa grill after trying WaBa grill for the first time a couple weeks ago and it was delicious. This location I have gone 2 times already because it's close to my job. 1st time I came in for lunch I tried the chicken bowl like I normally get and the meat it's self was not good quality. It was a very small portion and the meat was full of fat that just didn't taste very well. I went in a second time today and wanted to give them a chance and maybe it was an off day but nope. Ordered another chicken bowl and it was gross, the chicken has to be the leftovers and just has way to much fat on it so the quality is beyond poor. I have tried another location before and it was amazing so I think the owner of this location is trying to cut corners. I would not recommend this pls e in my opinion not the company as a whole put this individual location. They need to get the quality in order before I ever return again. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! White meat chicken salad is sooo delicious and its kale which I didn't know I liked! Feels very healthy and is def very fresh. Hope they start a loyalty program soon bcuz I've been here 3x in a 7 days. Definitely worth finding a location near you read more

FINALLY a Waba Grill near home! I've always hated driving to Santa Ana or Mission Viejo but I still do anyway cause it's bomb! But now I can get Waba wasted in just a 5 minute drive... AWESOME! This location is by far the best. I love their Waba Plate. It comes with a huge portion of steak, chicken, rice, kale salad, and an orange slice. The kale salad is so light, bright, and compliments the chicken & steak very well. The sauces are already individually packaged, so you don't have to pour it into little containers. What I also love is that they provide you with pickled jalapeños and carrots, YUMM! Great customer service and the quality is phenomenal. read more

I'm a late comer to WaBa and used to be a loyal flame broiler patron until I discovered this place. The concept is very similar but the meat quality at WaBa blows away flame broiler. This location is brand new and very clean. The service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

My friends love the chicken, however, for some reason it made me extremely sick to my stomach. I don't know if it was me or the food but I probably will not eat here again. read more

I love this Waba Grill. The food is always fresh and hot. The service is awesome, friendly and fast. Everything is very clean too. Ordered the Waba Bowl which is chicken and steak over brown rice with veggies. Topped it with avocado and scallions. Yummy! Good food for a good value. Will be back. read more

Love love love, unlike most rice bowl places that just fill your bowl up with rice and about 10 small pieces of chicken they even it out which I love !(: read more

The food here is healthy and very tasty. They give you large portions and have great customer service. I eat here several times per month. I especially like the Waba Plate, which comes with chicken, beef and rice. You can add vegetables or avocado. Highly recommend. read more

Like everyone said, this is a more flavorful and a tad more expensive Flame Broiler. I got the Waba plate, which consists of half chicken and half beef with kale salad, rice, and fruit. But this isn't truly a half and half because it's a little cheaper than the beef plate, so I guess it makes sense that they filled the proportions with 60/40 chicken and beef. Yet, the meats tasty and tender. However, the kale salad isn't tossed evenly; the top portion was dry and unmarinated, while the bottom was drenched. I like that the plate comes with a drink, and that they have pickled carrots on the side. Clean place and friendly staff. Good post-workout grub. read more

Here vs flame broiler. Here! That's all you really need to know. For fast food healthyish type food, it's one of the better ones.

Everything was fine except for the black avocado that I paid for. It wasnt black from oxidation, definately an old batch of avocados they needed to sell. Definately straying away from their veggies too, obviously its not fresh. read more

Love this Waba Grill. When I ask for any of my meat well done it's well done. The staff is always attentive. The place is clean and the food is always fresh. I've been here during their rush time and down time. No difference same experience same quality. read more

this place is great. the staff working there don't say much or pretend to be fake about their customer service. they give you what you ordered and send you on your way, personally i appreciate this, and the fact that people on here are looking for more than that is kinda baffling to me. that being said the food is always phenomenal. read more

Come here often for lunch and it's great! Staff is always welcoming and helpful. Love eating here!

Waba Grill's food covers all the bases of what I'm normally looking for. Healthy, delicious, and fast. Recommend to anyone who is looking for the same. The chicken veggie bowl is perfect! This new Lake Forest location is very clean, convenient, and friendly. I will for sure be visiting frequently! read more

The chicken was good ...the rice was way to soft I only ate the chicken and veggies, I know waba gril is soo good , but not this location. Never again!! read more

I love it here. Its soo good, and tasty. They also have great staff, they always make you feel welcome all the time. Its also great if you want to order by phone, i always order by my iphone, after ten minutes of driving its already ready and warm, in a plastic bag. Another thing i love here is that its soo quiet. I always see people studying here, litterly. read more

I went to this waba Grill in Lake Forest today for the first time. I want to say this place is a lot better than Flame Broiler. So this is going to be my place to eat. read more

I have never ate at Waba Grill before but my friend swears by how good the food is, so I decided to try it. I walked in (no other customers were inside) and the cashier (asian guy) did not acknowledge me in the slightest. I felt very unwelcomed instantly. When he finally turned around to "take me order" all he does is stare at me. Literally, just stares at me. Not a "Hello, what can I get for you?" "Any questions or recommendations?"... nothing but a cold stare. After browsing the menu for 10-15 seconds I begin to order and again, zero response or acknowledgement of my order, just a stare. Not even exaggerating, he is the rudest person I have ever "interacted" with in a restaurant in my entire life. I'm not sure if he's the owner or just a very disgruntled employee. He looked to be in his mid 30s. Anyways, I then concluded that I clearly wasn't welcome there, so I stopped ordering and left. Unbelievably TERRIBLE first experience! read more

It's pretty similar to Flame Broiler, fast food teriyaki chicken or beef bowls with veggies. But I can't really stand Flame Broiler anymore- something about the strong, salty charred or flame broiled taste, and it doesn't feel healthy even though they push it as such- so I prefer this place by default as it doesn't have that kind of burnt taste. But the sauce is a bit sweetish, so if you don't like teriyaki sauce I don't think you would like WaBa much. I thought the chicken was better than the beef. The rice could be better. Portions are similar, maybe a bit bigger, prices might be a tad higher. There are a few types of sauce available, flame broiler might have slightly more but I rarely used them anyways. You can help yourself to green onions on the side. 7/10 read more

Who said healthy food can't be delicious?! Waba Grill is a great new healthy and delicious place! It was my first time at Waba Grill and it blew me away. Food is so much better than Flame Broiler - Meat is juicy, veges are fresh & crispy! Very clean and sanitary environment, and its open kitchen so I know how my food is being made. Got a free drink as a grand opening promotion. I will definitely come back and planning on making healthy diet choice with Waba. read more

not very good customer service. i placed an order online pickup, i was supposed to be there in 15, and just because i wasn't there in 15. they called me three times. never going again. also disrespectful cashier. disappointed read more

Love this place. I find it better than Flame Broiler since veges are much more fresher and meats are more tender! Usually get a white meat chicken and add avocado and go crazy with green onions to make it a perfect meal. Quick and healthy option, friendly workers and clean place! I will definitely come back! read more

Hello. The ingredients were crisp and fresh. Much better than other teriyaki chicken places. Recommend the waba plate for those who have never been to a waba grill to get both beef and chicken. You can get as much green onion as you want so that is a plus. Highly recommend to all the healthy foodies out there. The facilities and plaza are extremely clean. read more

The goods taste like real food not like joke in the box or mcdangerous gross food.this is good quality food. We grew up in the mid west were there's a ton of great food this is compatible! read more

Foods great but if you are looking to get served in 15 minutes order seafood. By the time I was called the they gave 175 there food I was 165. 10 people got there food before me same thing happened last time I ordered salmon. Sucks to stand there and watch everyone else get food. Service sucks. read more

I got the chicken bowl and it will good! Only thing lacking was the portion size. It has gotten a lot smaller for the price you pay for.

It's an ok place. Definitely overpriced for what you get. There's other places around that are cheaper and give you more portions. The chicken/veggie/rice bowl is 95% rice! This was my first and last time at Waba Grill. Employees are very nice and professional. read more

Healthy, delicious, quick meal. I enjoy the chicken and beef combo. I think WaBa grill is better than flame broiler. I think it is a healthier alternative. The prices are reasonable. read more

Great Place. Healthy, and fast and delicious. Love brown rice option and waba bowl (beef and chicken, both so good). Oh and add avocado, I was skeptical cause avocado on a rice bowl? But you won't regret it!Blows flame broiler out of the water! Howard the manager I believe, he's awesome. Great service from him and all other employees. A must try! read more
