    Incompetence at its finest.
    Christine F.

    This place is a shit show! The worst Waba Grill ever. Door sign says they close at 9pm, but if u walk in at 8pm the short lady with an attitude and too much makeup for her own good tells you they are no longer serving salads for the night because she has put them away. and if you walk in her at 8:40 pm, like I've done the last time I've tried to order, they even tell you that only pickup phone orders because they're no longer cooking food as they've already prepared for closing. The other slightly taller lady today told me that, "It's because we've been slow." NO! Don't make excuses for your coworker's bad excuse of having put away the salads a whole one hour before closing time! YOU GUYS DON'T GET THE CUSTOMERS COMING IN (A.K.A. ARE SLOW) BECAUSE YOUR LAZY ASSES TURN ALL THE CUSTOMERS AWAY WHEN THEY ACTUALLY TRY TO ORDER!! I understand if it's 10 minutes to closing, but a whole hour?? Closing time is at 9pm, doesn't mean you clock out at 9pm. I have worked in the food service industry much of my college life and understand that the door closes to customers at 9pm. If you're too lazy to work a job with specific hours, go drive Uber Eats at your own time. OR DO YOU GIVE ME THESE EXCUSES BECAUSE I'M NOT THE RACE YOU EXPECT TO SERVE?? I can contemplate the race card.... so which one is it? Waba Grill Panorama City employees, are you just too lazy? Or a bigot and racist?? Cuz your actually might be both. You are a disgusting establishment. The owners of this Waba Grill should reevaluate their staff, fire the Wednesday night crew as they have consistently been incompetent (short lazy female employee on Wednesday nights, look up what incompetence means). I manage several apartment buildings in the area and I will surely share how horrible this Waba location is until you guys either change staff or close down, because I would much rather prefer an establishment that serves the community when they say they will.

    Steak Veggie Bowl

    A good alternative to fast food. I personally thinks it's a healthier choice than burgers and pizza. They have wider selection,for people who are conscious about what they eat. They serve all kinds of meat;beef,chicken and fish. If you're always on the go and no time to cook, I would recommend this place.

    No food ? Or answer when i was calling  The driver ?!'n shocker !!!
    Jasmine M.

    Wish i could give them a no stars the dumb females working rt this location are fucking clueless my food was dropped off somewhere completely else like the driver didn't even read the number , then when i call at 3:20 they tell the owner isn't in till 5 like wtf not going to someone house to ask for my food?!

The fuxk , dnt waste ur time or money here. Thanks "Charlie " the manger /owner as the staff said , ur running a crappy location with crappy ppl working there !!!

    Ordered through doordash and I'm completely disgusted. I have never gone through this before ever in my life. Hair and a fckin eyelash in my dam food The hair was deep inside the rice, I pulled it out. This is disgusting and I'm reporting this location. Zoom into the dam picture!

    Interior.Very clean
    Anthony S.

    As I entered I was greeted right away by several employees.Small little location located in the same parking lot of Walmart.The kitchen is very visible and you can see the employees prepare your food order.My dish was made to order.All there dishes are made to order.Always fresh. I had the combo plate of Chicken and Steak plate with too side items,very good. The set up for this concept is very nice,most of all its will organized and kept very clean.Good Job. Their concept is Eat Smart,Be Healthy! Good Job 2015 Yelp Challenge.029/100

    Salmon on a Bed of brown rice
    Laura C.

    First time trying waba grill and damn I have been missing out. The inside is surprisingly very tidy and clean. You walk in and are immediately greeted. Service is fast and great. Staff is very nice and easy going. There a few items to choose from and I want to try them all. But on this occasion I tried the salmon on a bed of brown rice. So simple yet so very delicious and mouth watering. Finally, a place where healthy eating is promoted and it's at a very affordable price and did I mention delicious. If you haven't gave waba a try you need to ASAP.

    Chicken Veggie Bowl on Brown Rice w/out sauce
    Ronald V.

    The service and food here is Awesome everyday. I'm a regular visitor to this WaBa Grill location. I find it to be a very friendly, clean and pleasantly enjoyable restaurant to grab a healthy bite to eat everyday. I always order the Chicken Veggie bowl no Sauce with Brown Rice. It's the bomb!!

    i stopped by the grill stories yesterday in the afternoon, i seen them on Yelp and since i was…read moreclose by i decided to give them a try. as a middle eastern, i love Mediterranean food. i didn't know The Grill Stories was owned by Armenians. i love to support a Armenian owned Mediterranean establishment, as i am one myself. the food all looked so familiar to what I eat at home so i kinda already knew what I wanted. they have parking in the back, I think it's called "library plaza" but it can get a little packed. the grill stories has outdoor patio with mist & little fan on the table since it is getting outer & indoor seating. when i walked in, i was greeted by a really nice pretty lady & was able to let me use their kiosk to order. i like the kiosk because it allows me to look through their menu and see what they have. i got myself their falafel pocket w. fries & a drink + tzatziki sauce on the side. i love falafel especially with hummus and this pocket was absolutely delicious. the falafel was so heavenly at every bite! their signature tomato sauce instead of ketchup was SO GOOD! i looveeed dipping my fries in the sauce!! - side note but i really like how they have their to go essential on the counter for customers to grab if they want to take their food home. it's nice because you don't have to keep asking the workers multiple times. you can just grab what you need & go. i most definitely need to come back & try their plates.

Service was fast, I believe the food was done within 15-20 minutes of ordering. The food was so delicious. I only subtract 1 star because everything tastes good except for their hummus as we both find it to be too bitter. The meat was delicious, but I have to say the star of the show was the Mediterranean salad. I would definitely come back here. Definitely check them out if you're in the area and are craving Mediterranean food!

It was also packed with meat, very good value for the price! The korean bbq fries are a must. The fries were crispy and the sweet salty bulgogi with their house made sauce made a delicious meal. They also give you free ice cream if you dine it! Easy parking, located in an unassuming strip mall.

    Came back to Corner Grill to try their Korean Tacos. It was a late-ish lunch on a Saturday, yet…read morethere were still quite a few tables of people eating a variety of foods. Staff was just as friendly as before, and the place still has that lived-in, homey charm. I ordered a pair of tacos: BBQ Beef and Crispy Shrimp. Both come with shredded cabbage, sliced jalapeños, cilantro and a creamy, mayo-based sauce. The shrimp taco worked perfectly, with a crispy, tasty coating giving way to plump, fresh shrimp. The sauce melded into the cabbage, almost making a slaw you might get on a po' boy, and the peppers added a nice heat. I added a squeeze of fresh lemon, and that rounded things out nicely. It was a great bite of seafood. The BBQ Beef was less successful. The mayo and an extra dollop of chipotle mayo were too much for the small taco, and overtook the flavor of the beef. The beef had a nice flavor, but was a bit too dry, and had been chopped a bit too finely -- I would have liked larger pieces to really enjoy the flavor. In fact, others were eating the BBQ Beef plate, and the beef there looked far more appealing. So, I'm not discouraged. I'll come back for the full plate treatment, and see how things stack up. I still think this is a great place that deserves your attention and support. Good people.

Though the…read moredrive-through can take a long time, even if you're the only one in line, the food has been good, and the service has been mediocre.. This past weekend I went through the drive-through to get my son a burger and fries and I specified no cheese. The order was correct when she repeated it back to me and when they repeated it at the window, it was correct. But after I got my food and was about to drive away, I even grabbed her attention one more time JUST to make sure, " I know you've already said this twice, but I wanna triple check that there's no cheese on his burger because he is allergic"... to which she replied, " no cheese". When we got home, there was not only cheese on his burger, there was a piece of plastic inside! I was upset about the cheese, but the plastic takes it to a whole new level. Called to let them know, and though they were apologetic about the cheese, I feel like they didn't believe me about the plastic . Maria/Mari (manager) just keep saying how they don't know where it could've come from, the only plastic they have is on their bun package, etc. I have no idea either, but the plastic was there and I don't feel like replacing my son's burger was enough. I went through the trouble of saving the plastic in a baggie and waiting until a manager or owner was at the establishment, but again, it really did not feel like she believed me as she kept saying they don't have any plastic besides the bun wrapping and even compared it against the wrapper in front of me. I have no idea either... but I know I don't frequent food establishments to complain about foreign objects in the food to get a free meal. Sadly, I don't think they handled this situation to the best of their ability and their customer service is greatly lacking, in addition to quality control. We try to support local, but this was a big disappointment.
