    This is my go to spot when I'm looking for a healthy quality meal. Especially if you're looking for something light and not too filling. There's many options to choose from. Teriyaki Chicken, Beef, Salmon, & more. My favorite is the teriyaki chicken bowl. Definitely stop by and give it a try. I recommend the half and half bowl. (Chicken and Beef) The service is A+ and setting is nice and quiet.

    The worst Waba Grill restaurant, Korean lady very stingy with her napkins and the sauces. I got myself a chicken bowl and some dumplings lady gave me a Sauce with hardly anything and they wanna charge me for another side.

    Sauce they give with each order- not even halfway full!

    After my review, Waba Support Center replied here and asked me to email all the information regarding the transaction. We each exchanged a total of two emails. I followed up a few days later via email and never received a reply from Waba Support Center. Waba Support, please don't respond to these reviews under the pretense of being concerned about our awful experiences if all you offer is a "traditional formatted apologetic message" without resolute.

    As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome and a huge smile! Service was amazing! And the food was great! The lady who was at the register was attentive and super helpful! Definitely will be returning! I got the chicken bowl with veggies and my gf got the chicken bowl without veggies. Great serving sizes and amazing flavor. We also got the pot stickers and they were to die for! Soooo good really recommend them.

    My first experience at WaBa Grill was memorable. My husband and I ordered a salmon (no sauce) veggie bowl with broccoli only and avocado, since we're watching our carb intake. First of all, there's a charge for omitting rice and two other veggies? Like that makes sense. Anyway, we get our order and... there's rice under the salmon and broccoli. My husband tells them we didn't want rice, and the cashier tells us to eat around it. EAT. AROUND. IT. We take it back to our table, then she brings out a side of broccoli and tells us "Next time, ask for no rice," to which my husband replies, "Don't worry. There won't be a next time." Burn. Needless to say, the $30 meal for the two of us, which we had to "eat around" will be an unforgettable experience.

    TLDR - AYCE HOTPOT. Good selection of vegetables, noodles, and soups. Adequate meat…read moreselections.Cooking can be slow. Great price! AYCE HOTPOT HAS FINALLY ARRIVED IN VENTURA COUNTY! Asians in ventura county know hot pot options are slim pickings. AYCE hotpot? A first that im aware of (tasty used to be preset bowls) Loved being able to choose different broths and put whatever noodles, veggies, fish balls, tofu, etc in my pot. Staff friendly, clean restaurant. Who doesn't love AYCE hotpot? My only con is the pots used to cook your items arent very fast. The fire will die and youll need an employee to start it up. Id be cautious of ordering chicken or youll sit there for at least 10 minutes making sure its cooked all the way. If tasty pot can fix this, I think it'll improve the overall experience. I still love the overall experience and will be back multiple times this year. Side note - People used to 626 or OC ayce hot pot may be a little disappointed (no free drinks or hot food bar).

    This was my first time at a hot pot place. The food was really good! It's all you can eat style now…read moreso you order a broth and a few meats and the rest of the stuff like veggies, noodles, fish balls, dumplings, and octopi are in the fridge for customers to grab and put in their soup. The broth was good. I got the Taiwanese but my gf got the Thai broth and that one was better (and spicier). All the ingredients were very fresh and it was a solid value for the money. The server was attentive as well.

We let the group pass us and entered the restaurant. We were promptly seated at a corner table and given menus. It did take a bit for the server to come back to take our order, but we did realize we came in 1/2 hour before closing, so we eased off a bit. My partner order the hot pot and was very happy with his choice. The server came back with a hot plate and instructed us how to cook the meat. I was a bit apprehensive about having to cook my own food, but the fragrant smell as it cooked changed my mind. The broth was flavorful and the veg and meat were tender as they soaked up the soupy goodness. I also ordered the boa buns and the pillowy texture, mixed with the soft pork and crunchy cucumber and carrots made my belly sing. We slurped up our food and cleared out as quickly as we could. I hate being that person that lingers at closing time. What I do regret is that I did not take more time at their counter as we exited because it was full of snacks and curios that I love. Next time for sure!

The lunch special came with a small egg roll and mild side salad (not too much dressing, which was perfect). I just wish there were more egg rolls to come with it lol! It was a great deal for $16 and we had food to take home since the portions were large. We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, and the Thai Fried Rice with pork. Both were spectacular! I will say the Pad Thai was a bit on the sweeter side however--just keep that in mind for taste preference. It's this reason that the fried rice was both of our favorite dishes, as its savory umami flavor paired so well with the pork. I could've eaten an entire plate by myself! Service took a bit long to get our food, but they were very kind nonetheless. We will be returning, and we can't wait to try other dishes like their soups and curry!
