Came in today Monday @ 6pm after the gym. The place was clean, the lady at the register was really nice, no line and the food never disappoints. The food is fairly priced $9.58 total for a half chicken half steak plate w/ a salad and fruit. U can tell them no sauce if u wanna keep the calories down and the food healthy :) read more

WaBa Grill - Excelente servicio, la cajera se porto muy bien conmigo, volveré a este lugar - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Decent food, seems relatively healthy. You can add jalapeño peppers and scallions to your desire. Wasn't a huge fan of the sauce, but was definitely necessary. Otherwise, it would seem a little bland. read more

Who the hell actually uses the coupons that come in the mail from chain restaurants such as Waba Grill... Well apparently I do, or at least I ATTEMPTED TO! TB (thunder buddy) and I were gifted with a shiny extra large coupon for Waba Grill, and I'm not sure what turned our appetites on more, the tasty deals (free chicken plate with the purchase of one chicken plate...!) or the scrumptious looking dishes, that also catered to my dietary restrictions. That being said, when we hit up Waba, because I have to modify everything, we were left with the ability to only use one of the 6 or 7 coupon deals on the card- Womp Womp... FREE AVOCADO. Initially I thought to myself "wait what? Avocado is extra? That's dumb" but... When I got my meal, I saw why, because hot damn they give you a huge hunk! Any who... While we wound up handing over our coupon to the woman taking our order, she managed to F up, and still charged us. Initially she was confident that she didn't, but TB, being extremely smart, KNEW she didn't ring up our order correctly and questioned her only to be defensive in return.... THAT BEING SAID, when we were filling our drinks, she waved us over and pointed out her error, but at that point it wasn't worth spewing over, so Waba got to keep that extra $1.25, or whatever... Dammit. Could have bought a pack of gum to freshen my breath after the meal! TB got the chicken bowl, with WHITE MEAT (they charge extra for white meat, FYI) and I got the salmon plate, no rice, just steamed veggies and a little microscopic side salad, and no sauce. Our order was ready within 4 minutes, which is great for those who are hungry hungry hippos! My salmon was actually extremely tasty and fresh, and I think Waba subconsciously knew that I adore the pairing of salmon with steamed cabbage! Steamed broccoli is okay ... However, I hate steamed carrots, which also comes in the trio of steamed vegetables, so I'm warning you right now. My only real qualm with this dish is that the salmon portion is microscopic... For the $10 price tag. I mean you can get ONE POUND of salmon at Whole Foods for $12.... But in this dish, they give you a measly 3.5 ounces (I did the research, ha ha, cause I'm awesome? Or perhaps a flat out loser...). Thankfully the avocado was there to help fill me up, otherwise I would have left hungrier than when I walked into the joint. How was the chicken bowl? Apparently dry, but good enough to eat the entire contents of! I give Waba props for trying to shell out healthier fast food, and I definitely see it staying in business, however, I think they should offer side portions of meat as I would have liked more and I actually would have liked to try the chicken... Oh, and they need to hire staff that actually honor coupons. Just saying... Or BYOA- bring your own avocado, ha ha! read more

WaBa Grill - Salmon plate, no rice, just steamed veggies and an extra side of avocado - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been looking for an alternative to Flame Broiler because there seem to be none in Hollywood and there is no delivery service. I love the simplicity of rice and chicken bowls, and the sweet sauce that usually accompanies them. At the same time, I'm a fan of supporting local establishments and try not to frequent chains too much (Flame Broiler excluded). However, I was really craving some rice and chicken and decided to check out Waba, since I was already in the plaza. I was very happy with my choice. The portions are great for the price, the meat and rice is cooked perfectly, and the optional avocado on top is a treat, even for $1.60. I've gone twice and gotten the half chicken/half steak white rice bowl with avacado, and it's been great each time. In fact, I'm about to dig in. Give this spot a try. It's clean, the people are friendly and the menu is fresh and simple, and delicious! And there's plenty of parking, as a cherry on top. read more

WaBa Grill - Half chicken half steak rice bowl with avacado, my favorite! - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Boooo I dont ever leave bad reviews but this place made me so mad right now. I ordered from uber eats and typed in the box for extra sauce It arrives and they gave me white rice and tofu with no saice on it just plain tofu and rice. My boyfriend got a waba bowl it also was sauceless. They gave us one red sauce and one waba sauce each. Thanks for the flavorless mush i paid $20 for. I love waba grill but i feel like bc i asked for extra sauce this location decided to be petty and give me none. read more

Completely disappointed with this waba grill. My girlfriend picked up food from this location to eat with me in the car. I needed to use the restroom. They denied my request for the code even though I explained that my girlfriend came in to get food. The worker still insisted that I did not buy food and denied me to use the restroom. Disgusting service never coming back again. read more

This was truly excellent food. Fast, fresh, and inexpensive. The WaBa rice bowl with chicken and beef with teriyaki sauce was so fresh, tasty, and very filling. I wish this chain was available in Texas!! read more

Delicious fruit, tastes like home. 10/10 recommend! I've been there a couple of times.

Terrible. Ignored Uber Order for an hour a driver even came still ignored then a second then then canceled. Called and they said "we told the drivers to call you to see if you still wanted" I wanted you to make food that's your only function Refund turns a 5pm delivery to 7pm somewhere else not satisfied with resolution in the least bit. This is basically fast food two drivers showed up scoop the meat in the tray and move on. read more

I Really Like This Location, It's Really Chill & The Staff Is Very Friendly. They Have A Huge Parking Lot That Is Free & The Place Is Always Clean! I Enjoy The Food & I Go Pretty Often Now! I Wasn't Sure What To Get But They Are Really Helpful When It Comes To What To Get Especially If You're Trying To Be Healthy! read more

The customer service is the worst here. The cashier is always so rude. I come here at-least 1 time a week. The female attendants are mean and cut you off so rudely. The manager is the only kind person. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I went to this establishment to order my food and all I asked is to use the bathroom before I ordered my food that way I could relieve myself and wash my hands. The women at the registered refused to give me a key arguing with me that it's for paying customers. I told her ma'am I am going to order I just really need to use the bathroom I am pregnant I cannot hold it long enough for you plus your are not ready to receive my order the register till was sitting on the counter let me just use the bathroom. The entire time I'm standing there about to urinate on myself she finally puts the key on the counter out of reach as if my hand was not good enough. As I'm going to the bathroom a male cook comes out the bathroom and proceeds to attempt to watch me go to the bathroom. I don't know what this about I'm not homeless I don't look homeless I don't look like "trouble" I don't know I'm just pregnant. I went to the bathroom came out and all hell broke loose I told her that's now how you treat people or customers Its not appropriate. Why would I order anything if the behavior is so bad. Well the lady started arguing with me telling me to get out I asked for a manager she told me she was she wouldn't give me her name a store manager number. The same cook tried to jump in as if he's her handler yelling " get out get out". I don't know about anyone else but I've never been treated so poorly just for asking to relieve myself. I mean I can barely hold it that long you would think that a women would be more understanding. Total disregard for basic needs I would never eat here and any cook that goes to the bathroom and doesn't wash his hands I would avoid read more

See all

I first went here like 4 days ago and since have been 3 days in a row. The food is decently priced and really good. I get the waba plate every time with double salad instead of fruit. On my first visit the cashier did seem pretty rude or like she was having a bad day but ever since she's been really nice. It's quick, cheap, good food read more

Bad service , the organic tea lid was left open where anyone can drop anything inside

I've slowly become addicted. Yes this is a chain, and at first you might be fooled by its simplicity, but that's what makes it perfect. If you are working AND trying to stay in shape, your biggest enemy is time. This place makes it easy, and that's why I love it. Grilled Chicken, Rice....carbs and protein. Simple and good. read more

Today I went to WaBa Grill and I got the the white chicken bowl with out any vegetables. Disappointed to say the least. I always use to go there but this time was horrible. The meat was half fat. The only thing good about it was the amazing sauce. read more

Decent food and very healthy! A good option in Hollywood if you're not looking to spend too much or consume too many calories. I ordered the shrimp with brown rice and it was great! It comes with a lot of vegetables, and the shrimp is glazed with a simple but savory sauce that adds flavor to the meal. This is a chain, fast-food kind of place, so don't expect anything outstanding. But I genuinely enjoyed my meal and would probably choose this spot over pricier or greasier options in the area. read more

This is one of the very few fast food restaurants that you cannot go wrong with. The foods are very simple and we'll prepared. They're healthy and usually under 700 calories per serving. My personal favorite is the chicken Veggie bowl because I always feel healthy - ish after I eat it :) I do love that the LA Brea location is so clean and the service is great. I'm looking forward to going back there again. read more

WaBa Grill - Chicken Veggie bowl - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Definitely happy to have a healthier lunch option in a reasonable radius of my work! But this is a "I didn't bring my own healthy lunch so this is a guiltless option" sort of deal NOT a craving/in the mood for deal. At least for me. Sort of like I don't crave taking my vitamins in the morning, but it's a good thing to do. I usually get the shrimp+veggie bowl over brown rice. The grilled shrimp is always delicious. The vegetables, although healthy (steamed), leave something to be desired. It's just broccoli, carrots and LOTS of cabbage and I'm pretty sure they're steamed from frozen. I KNOW, I KNOW--I HAVE SUCH HIGH STANDARDS. But if it's a GRILL, how about throwing some squash, maybe some mushrooms in there? Dare I suggest BELL PEPPERS?! Even grilling the carrots and broccoli would take it up a notch. Just some ideas. The hot sauce is good, although I have not tried the Louisiana Hot Sauce. The Waba sauce is good, too--but if your health-consciousness involves limiting your sugar intake, keep in mind it has 9 grams per serving. The tofu dishes have more sugar than the meat. Avocado, much like guac in other establishments, is extra. $1.50. I like (never thought this day would come) that their calorie content is clearly displayed and the nutritional info is very accessible. Another plus for lunchers who work in this area--it is AWAY from the clusterfuckery that is Hollywood and Highland. read more

The food was pretty good, but nothing too special. Tasted just like tofu and rice. The staff was nice! the price was pretty good and i got a good amount of food! read more

Yatziri girl with red hair, so rude on explaining how the meals work, two Asian costumers that probably didn't speak English very well, they tried to order. Her way of explaining was super rude, that they asked for noodles and her answer was noodles outside. They left. Hope she improves that read more

Love the food here. Beats most places in the area. Fresh and healthy, I love it! Always come here when I'm in L.A.

Everything was good. But my salad had no dressing. So it just tasted plain. Overall good customer service.

Healthier options than your typical fast food place. Stopped in here for a quick dinner between errands. Salmon veggie rice bowl. For a fast food place, an easy 4 stars. Better than most alternatives in this category. Would / Will stop in here again. read more

It's a fast food chain so you basically can have certain expectations but as far as fast food goes, the food is good, service was excellent, and the place is extremely clean. This is a great Waba Grill location. read more

I have been a customer with Waba since this locatiom first openee, and what a wonderful place. Delicious chicken, rice, avacado. I recommend the number 10. You just can't go wrong with this delicious bowl! Great and friendly customer service (they are also bilingual spanish) which is is great for me since I enjoy the practice from time. Located near the heart of Hollywood blvd. After eating your delicious meal take a walk over to Chinese theater and enjoy all of the wonderful, children friendly super heroes and scary villans!!! read more

Best only truly healthy fast food option on the market ... I do salmon, brown rice, veggies ... cheap quick and very very healthy

So, I just tried this place for the first time last night, and I must say, the food here is pretty darn good! Didn't have high hopes for the "bowl" style, but my expectations were met and then some! Had a half and half chicken/steak bowl w/ white rice and it was REALLY good- I was a bit surprised to be honest. If you want something quick, yet healthy and delicious, you've gotta check this place out! read more

Healthy food option with short wait time. The staff is super friendly. Yatziri is always working with a smile. Thanks guys for making me a little healthier each day :) read more

First off my whole order was wrong! After waiting about 15mins to even get my food just to find it was all wrong-I had to wait another 20mins just to get my correct order. Usually this Waba Grill is very good and fresh but today it was just horrible. My rice was very dry and stale! Was quite disappointing read more

Don't order delivery here! Half of meal never arrived and no one answers the phones. so stuck with empty stomach and empty bank account for 3 days until I can get a refund. WaBa Grill sucks read more

My daughter loves meat and rice, so we go to WaBa grill often, most of the time they're great, but they have this one girl who's rude and ruins the experience. Avoid Thursday afternoons and you'll probably be ok. Staff is friendly and polite, but this girl who's obviously at the wrong place. No clue as to what customer service is. The food it self is not the greatest, but if you're craving teriyaki sauce, rice and meat like my daughter, WaBa grill is ok. read more

I never was a fan of WaBa but my girlfriend took me to the one on Sunset and it is quite filling and tasty. I also love the WaBa sauce I buy some to put on my homemade chicken to give it some extra flavor. read more

Terrible service.. cashier will not look up to take your order. Miso soup bowl was filled half way . read more

Awesome food. Work in the area and it is a great spot to get healthy, fast and delicious food. Since I low carb it, I usually get the chicken vegetable bowl with avocado and no rice. So good! I recommend however telling them to put the sauce on the side ( they tend to over do it with the sauce), because it's loaded with sugar and if you're health conscious, defeats the purpose. Great spot for quick healthy food. Staff is very friendly as well. read more

I will never come here again! The staff did not greet me when I came in nor did they look Me in my face and give me I contact while I ordered my meal. I asked for white rice and the staff accidentally put brown rice in there then started scooping it out leaving a bunch of brown rice on the bottom of the bowl under my white rice they replaced it with. The salmon was overcooked and chard. I don't usually leave negative feedback on places but this place needed it read more

Only go here if you want to have a nice visit to the ER. I ordered the grill salmon. It was so fishy I was unable to eat much of it. They had forgotten so many of my sides by the time I bit into the fish I was embarrassed to return it. I took the leftovers to my cat, who refused to eat any of it! Lo and behold at 4 am I got violently ill and after repeatedly throwing up, I had to rush to the ER. NEVER eat here! read more

My first visit was tonight. I saw this place while driving on Sunset and I decided to stop and try it. It was 9:35pm and I noticed that they closed at 10pm. There were people inside eating so I walked in. I walked to the counter to place my order and the first thing the girl at the counter says is: "Can you take your order to go? We're about to close". Shocked, I asked her if she was serious ... she said yes we're closing. I replied, it wont take me 25 minutes to eat. Her response was. I just dont want you to get mad at me because we have to leave... too late! I asked if she preferred that I went somewhere else to eat. Her response was "it's your choice". I walked out and they locked the door behind me. Their hours say, open until 10PM but they locked the door at 9:40???? They had customers inside and another customer arrived as I was leaving. They ignored him knocking at the door. As i sit here and wite this review, 5 more shocked customers try to open the locked door, the leave disapppinted. What a horrible first impression. I guess they didn't value my business very much. Its a pity I will never return to try the food. SMH read more
