    The chicken bowl was great. However I ordered extra chicken on my bowl with a small coke and paid $27.00 the prices here for food are out of control. Not worth it, too expensive for chicken and rice

    It's Waba, it's close to work, it's good enough for lunch. Been away for a while due to Panda Inn maybe providing better value, but recently dipping back in to try to be healthier, kinda. Due to less crowd during lunch, I can order and prepare my sauces and get food and walk out in less than 3~5 mins, so this is my go to when I want to quickly be back in the office to eat hot food. Always feel there could be more protein on the plates or bowls, but it is what it is. Maybe just eating less of things is better for me anyway.

    This is my second time at this location. I'm glad I spotted this bug in my food before I ate it. I guess they don't wash the Veggies thoroughly or maybe it landed while the Veggies were cooking. Either way, it's unacceptable. I won't be returning.

    Food was soooooo delicious. Giving it a 4 star though because the portions were small

    Me: Hi, I'd like to order a #3 please. Her: With onions? Me: No, no onions. Her: Ok a #2 no onions, pull up to the window! I knew I should've looked at my order. I know better. Maaaaan onions on everything. Even the orange. Y'all... And this is the third time this has happened to me. And the female manager on duty wouldn't apologize for crap. Unprofessional and apparently lacking in comprehension.

    So disgusted with the avocado I was served!

    I had 2 choices. Go to the grocery store and pick up something to cook or since I was hungry stop by Waba and grab a bite for my son and I. Well that was in fact a huge mistake! I asked for avocado on my Waba plate and safe to say it's the worst avocado I've ever paid for! I wonder if they themselves would have ate this because it was ok to serve it. At first glance it looked like worms but clearly it's a rotten avocado.

    More meat for less cost.

    The last 6 times I've been here, this place has managed to get my order wrong all 100 times!!! I almost need to give them the wrong order for them to get it right. This place keeps getting worse. The sad part is that the employees really don't give a you know what. Why would anyone go here when you can go down the street to YOSHINOYA "Japanese kitchen" and get twice the amount of meat for lower cost? Smh. Shame on you Waba grill!

    I was in the area and decided to stop by because I only taste their food at random food festivals…read morein the city. I really wanted the chicken empañada, but we got here around 2:30 PM, and they said they sold out. It seems something was going on with their supplier. We ordered the half chicken and fries and the chicken quesadilla. That marinade/sauce is so flavorful. The chicken was excellent!

    Tonight, I had dinner at Dino's Chicken and ordered their famous Dino's Chicken & Fries…read more I ordered it to go, but I was so hungry that I ate some at one of the tables inside before taking the rest home and eating a little more at home. I had been craving their chicken for a while, so I finally came back today. As always, there was a long line. At first, the line wasn't moving at all, which was a little frustrating, but fortunately, it started moving much faster soon after. I hadn't been here in years, so it was nice to come back after such a long time. The chicken is definitely tasty, but unfortunately, they grilled it a little too much this time and some of it was quite burnt. I guess that's partly because they grill the chicken directly on the grill. And, too spicy for me : both chicken and fries. Parking here is always a complete challenge because the parking lot is small and there are usually so many people. But my parking luck is always amazing -- cars somehow always seem to pull out right in front of me! And once again, today, a car pulled out right in front of me, so I was able to get a parking spot easily. It felt like another parking miracle! I asked for a cup of water, and he kindly gave me ice water. I also asked if I could have one extra plastic bag, and he gave me another one without any problem. The staff were very friendly, which was good. However, there's one thing to keep in mind when getting takeout here: the chicken is so oily that the grease can actually soak through and leak all over the plastic bag. You basically have to throw the first plastic bag away afterward. That's why I'm really glad I asked for an extra bag and brought one home with me. It definitely came in handy!

    With so many amazing burger places in Los Angeles, it's hard to truly know what the best is, but…read morethanks to a fantastic lunch at Burger District a few weeks back, I for sure know this place is definitely a top 5 contender for me. My wife and I were riding our bikes around the city when lunch time approached and Burger District was the place to go. We've driven by this place a ton of times and thanks to the insanely cool artwork sign on the outside, it's been somewhere we've been meaning to try for well over a year. The inside here also has some awesome artwork that was clearly hand painted and a burger menu that allows for vegetarian options on top of all the tasty looking burgers they have to offer. With so many different burgers to pick from, I struggled a bit but eventually went with the Surf & Turf thanks to the inclusion of both beef and shrimp, a dang good combination if you ask me. The burger was piping hot when it came out and every single bite was absolutely mouth wateringly delicious. The beef was super juicy, the shrimp was great, and I can't forgot to mention the french fries on the side because those bad boys were some of the best I've had since living in DTLA. Overall, Burger District has found it's way into my top 5 LA burger spots and is definitely somewhere I'll be returning to in the future. The cool atmosphere, great food, and super friendly staff are definitely an experience I'll be taking people to experience themselves.

    After waiting for a long time to finally try Burger District LA, I left completely disappointed…read more Location & Atmosphere: The restaurant is located in the Fashion District, where parking is a nightmare unless you're willing to shell out $20 for a private lot. The immediate area outside was covered in trash and reeked of urine. The location itself is tiny, run-down, and has no AC, making it uncomfortably hot inside. Seating is extremely limited to just three small tables inside and a narrow counter setup outside. Service & Food Quality: My friends and I decided to order the Surf 'N' Turf burger after seeing pictures on Yelp that made it look incredible. The food took a while to come out, which we were willing to overlook since there was only one person working the kitchen. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the wait or the pictures. As soon as I bit into my burger, I noticed a strange, off-putting aftertaste--it tasted as if an ingredient had gone bad. I couldn't tell if it was the tomatoes, the onions, or the meat itself, but something was definitely wrong. My friend had the exact same issue with his, and my other friend's patty was completely burnt. After looking into other reviews later, it turns out several people have complained about the exact same bad taste, pointing to their house sauce as the culprit. Final Verdict: Between the awful parking, unpleasant atmosphere, and downright unpalatable food, I will definitely never return. I'd much rather pay a bit more somewhere else for a decent, quality burger. Save yourself the headache and skip this place.
