Came Saturday night got the combo brought it home and the rice was hard and the dumplings tasted hard rubbery and probably made yesterday or in the morning. Rice was not fresh and chicken portion was very small. Not pictured. If your reading this the location on Katella is way better

Horrible service when I walked in I waited in line then 2 people walked up in front of me and got their food before I could even take my order and food servings portions were small. LIZ Charged me twice for avocado and then had to do a refund and once I was serviced my food I barley got any chicken then I showed her my plate and she said that was normal portions I've visited tons of waba grills and have never been serviced such small portions I have never been so unsatisfied with service like I did at this location. Also the receipt said Jesus and not Liz.

Salad, with no dressing or seasoning or croutons

BOGO deal! Today is international pi day and to celebrate, WaBa Grill had a buy one get one deal. Score! I love pi day for pizzas, and good deals lol I ordered a rice bowl with tofu. My husband got the rice bowl with steak. My tofu bowl was decent. The hubs said his meat wasn't cooked well. Pretty so-so. I love that WaBa sauce! Addicting really. Service was fine. I placed the order on the app. Ambiance is fast food; grab and go!

Every time I come here, the food is so good. Today when I came in, Liz had a big smile on her face, she's always so helpful in assisting me with my needs. Definitely will be back again.

We ordered 2 beef tacos & the chicken plate with all the yummy sides

The steak tacos are so delicious. We are greeted by Maria who took our order . And Blanca was so kind & she did the tacos for me . Both ladies have such positive energy. They both are always in movement making sure tables are clean , soda area is clean & making sure everyone is good . I love eating at this location

CHICKEN BOWL WITH MAGGOT ON CARROT
Rina H.

NEGATIVE STARS!!! I went to this location today at 1pm. Ordered chicken bowl. Drove all the way home to finally eat because I was starving after a doctor appointment. Took two bites and saw a maggot in my food. I called the location & was advised to call the manager. I was given the number & he did not answer, so I had to drive alll the way back to show them & get my money back. When I arrived & showed the man at the counter, he called the cook and showed him as they're discussing in Spanish. Then he called his manager & I told him I already called & he didn't answer. I want my money back please so I can leave. He spoke to his manager & finally gave me my money back. PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE!!! THEY LIKE TO SERVE MAGGOTS IN THERE FOOD.

Huge and delicious!

Super clean inside and very friendly employees. Our bowls were delicious and the portion size is awesome. You might be our new favorite place to get food for our late night work lunches.

Been to a few waba grill spots this the first time I find something in my food!! I'm glad I looked threw it because if I didn't I probably wouldn't have noticed cause of how hungry I was service was good but the workers should probably do date check ups on the vegetables

I love waba grill! It's one of my go to places after a workout! I was so disappointed to see the salmon bowl! Keep in mind I spent over 30 dollars on three bowls. I basically paid 12 dollars for a BOWL OF RICE ! The employees look so mad when I asked if this was a the right portion. She was like yeah so rude! She said it was gonna be 8 dollars for another small prince of salmon. She looked so unhappy there and ended up a side of chicken to basically make a whole bowl!!!

Is the chicken dark meat(thigh) or white meat(breast)?

Dark meat but you can "upgrade" to white meat for like $1 more or something.

The decorations, the lights, and the music all come together to give an ambiance that just feels so inviting to where you want to take your time while you're here. The service is top notch, all the staff are lively and accommodating. The menu is very creative including fun drink names and plenty of versatility in the types of dishes you can order. Be on the lookout for special dishes on different days of the week. We ordered the steak and mushroom skewers which are nice appetizers to hold you over until the entrees hit the table. The drinks hit the spot as well and luckily we came during happy hour so we got a little discount on the apps/drinks. We decided to try roasted half chicken with the potato salad which were both absolutely fantastic. The chicken was cooked perfectly, just incredibly tender and juicy. The potato salad was well seasoned, had a great texture, and was a nice compliment to the chicken. As we were eating, a DJ came in and started mixing up some cool tracks which just amplified our experience even more. Also, Sonder is my favorite word so bonus points there (I guess I'm biased). Anyways, I'm thrilled with my first visit here and will undoubtedly be checking this place out again! Would highly recommend you come visit Sonder, you can thank me later!!

There was a DJ spinning that evening and she was fantastic. I loved having the music going but also feeling like we were able to easily have a conversation. Going off memory I know we got all of the skewers and we struggled going around and what our faves were. Even the mushroom skewer was out of this world. We also got the charred beets which were a fave of mine and the table also enjoyed the pork fried rice. Some outshined others but there was nothing we ordered that were a disappointment. We also had great service and our waitress was very attentive bringing us our different courses and checking in on if we needed refills on our cocktails.

From the friendly, attentive service to the aesthetic interior to the creative food taste profiles and presentation, everything is chef's kiss! A few of my favorite dishes include: - Beef carpaccio - a must try that melts in your mouth! I didn't expect to love the taste of apple and raw beef together, but somehow this works. I add tiny apple slices to sandwiches now lol - Spicy miso carbonara - Savory and creamy. I have a low spice tolerance but this was not that spicy for me - Truffle funghi pizza - great for lovers of truffle, mushroom, and arugula - Truffle cheese bread - also a melt in your mouth sensation. 10/10 cheese pull I also tried the summer menu and I loved the mixed beet salad (refreshing) and crab roe spaghetti. Parking is abundant, restrooms are nice, and the ambiance is perfect for every occasion day to night. Overall I will keep coming back here!

The servers are friendly ans attentive. I do recommend booking a reservation if you're going on the weekend or dinner time. It's not as busy during the weekday (before dinner). During my last visit, I had the spicy miso carbonara. This is probably one of my favorite entrees here! And it's actually not that spicy. They have seasonal salads. This round we had the mixed beet salad. Previously I had a salad with watermelon and another one with persimmon. I remember enjoying both as well. The beef carpaccio was okay. Their drinks are pretty good as well. I've enjoyed most/almost everything I've had at this place. I've come back plenty of times and I definitely recommend coming to try this place!

We ordered the lomo saltado shaken fries and the calamari. The lomo saltado was definitely the highlight! the meat was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The fries had the perfect texture: crispy on the outside and not soggy at all. The sauce tied everything together perfectly, with a great balance of savory and sweet flavors without being overpowering. The calamari was also well-executed. It was crispy, tender, and didn't have any fishy taste, which I really appreciated. Another plus is that the portions here are huge, making it great for sharing with family and friends. There's plenty of seating, and the lively atmosphere makes this a perfect spot for a casual meal, family gathering, or a night out with friends. I would definitely come back to try more of their menu!

AND they're open until 1:30 AM every day, making it the perfect late-night stop after a long day at the parks. Sona Kitchen has an Asian fusion menu along with coffee and tea. We tried the new Banana Crème Coffee and Taro Milk Tea, and both were delicious. The Banana Crème Coffee was smooth and creamy, but recommend mixing the creme and coffee. The banana flavor was a little too strong for me. My bf said the Taro Milk Tea was refreshing and def can taste the taro flavor. We ordered the garlic chicken wings, garlic noodles, fish balls, filet mignon lomo saltado, and the Crab House Congee. The garlic chicken wings and garlic noodles had a good amount of garlic flavor, if you're a garlic lover, you'll definitely enjoy these. My boyfriend's favorite was the fish balls, which were honestly the prettiest fish balls we've ever seen. The filet mignon in the lomo saltado was tender, and the Crab House Congee was one of the most prettiest presented bowls of congee I've seen, loaded with toppings. This would def hit the spot after spending the day at Disneyland. We'd definitely come back to try more from the menu!

Had heard good things about this place and was happy I had the chance to try it! I had a party of 2…read morearound 2:30PM on a Sunday. There was a crowd of people waiting outside so I was a bit nervous that it would take really long. But we added our name to the waitlist on the iPad outside and we were sat in less than 30 minutes (when we went on the list, we were party 13). The wait went by super fast! By the time we finished our meal, there were lots of open seats. I first heard of this place as a "copycat Din Tai Fung". I actually think it's better to think of this place as another Taiwanese restaurant that serves similar food to DTF, but not a copycat. Although some of the popular items are the same (XLBs for example) the restaurants are definitely different. Firstly, the service here is SO FAST. And all the servers were really kind! We ordered our food and it felt like everything came out within MINUTES of each other. By the time we had all our savory dishes, I had only taken one bite out of the first dish. That's how fast it was! Haha We ended up ordering: Spicy XLBs, Beef Roll, Golden Prime Beef Noodle Soup, and Taro XLBs for dessert. Everything was DELICIOUS! My husband's favorite was the Beef Roll, while I think my favorite may have been the soup. The Spicy XLBs (4/5) were great! They felt quite large as I ALMOST had to eat them in two bites (but like why would I ever do that). Flavor was great and I thought there was actually very little spice in these. Compared to DTF'x XLBs, I thought these were just as juicy, but less ginger-forward (which made it feel less flavorful), and more sweet. I was personally missing some acid and wanted a bit more salt cuz it was a tad sweet. The Beef Rolls were pretty good too (4.25/5)! Nice and crispy. Even though it's pan fried, it felt light because of the vegetables. And I know this is weird to say, but the combination of beef, hoison sauce, and veggies almost tasted like pho flavors...but crispy? Yummy! I personally again wanted a bit more salt. But I'd definitely order again. Now for my favorite, the Golden Prime Beef Noodle Soup (4.5/5). WOOWWEEE! She's spicy! And I have a good spice tolerance so beware. I really loved the flavor of the broth. It was spicy and also had a really clean flavor. It looked like it would be a watery broth but WRONG! It was so flavorful. I loved the chewy noodles too and even the noodles on their own were spicy cuz they clung onto the broth. A really delicious soup! I'd love to eat this on a cold winter's day or when I'm sick. Delicious! The Taro XLBs (3.9/4) were pretty good too, but skippable. They weren't too sweet, which was nice. They had a lovely consistency and good taro flavor. But compared to everything else, they weren't that special. Overall, a really delicious restaurant! I'd definitely come here if I was craving XLBs/Taiwanese food.

The drinks were pretty cheap, I think mine was under $5 and the matcha was like $6.50.

BUSINESS PERMANENTLY CLOSING 6/28/26…read more Came here with some gals for afternoon tea. It's a cute little restaurant in Old Towne Orange. It's decorated really cute inside and out! Everything was creatively planned and decorated. It was also very clean and spacious inside and out. When you go in, there's a tea sampling station with the menus so you can see which tea you would like to order. Our server was really sweet, but she was the only one serving all of the tables, so she would come by every 10-20 minutes to check on us and some things we asked for didn't make it to the table. If they had more servers, customers would be happy with quicker service. The food and tea were delish! There were 6 of us so we shared a bunch of different teas. I really enjoyed the teas they had. The sweet and savory treats were really yummy! I really enjoyed them. Each person got 5 little savory treats and 4 sweet treats. I kind of wish we got one or two more for $45, but either way they were delicious!
