I ordered the rib eye steak plate. The steak was perfectly cooked, it was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The chargrilled taste really elevated the dish, and the portion size was generous. It came with a side of fresh veggies and steamed rice that tied the whole plate together. Everything tasted fresh and balanced, and you can tell Waba Grill prioritizes quality. The staff especially Daniel was friendly and efficient, ensuring my order was ready quickly. The restaurant itself was clean, and the atmosphere was welcoming. There is parking in the front and in the back of the building as well. If you're looking for a healthier fast casual option that doesn't skimp on flavor, Waba Grill is a must-try. Highly recommend

Went here last night ordered the teriyaki bowl with white meat and w/rice. The meat was a little dry, but the customer service and the two young ladies that were working were great,excellent customer service and great personalities.

Really enjoyed this house salad with marinated steak plus I ask them to add garlic sauce to give a spicy kick! Really good!

The staff and kitchen are really awesome here. Food is a great options for the full, tasty and nutritious meal on the go and if you have time to eat the ambiance is always welcoming. Don't feel rush to get out and take your business elsewhere.

Okay, this place truly deserves 5 stars and I can't believe that I never wrote a review for them. I was craving something healthy tonight, because I seriously didn't want to cook after a long day at work. Normally I meal prep, but this just wasn't the time for all that. I literally didn't want to open the fridge nor look at the stove. As soon as I hit Gaffey, I focused on what's healthy and Waba is the number one spot for that. I'm actually disappointed that I haven't gone more often, but I forget about them, all tucked nicely between 6th and 7th street. I decided to check the back to see if they had parking and I am happy to report that they have an entire lot back there and it's well lit! Bonus points, because I hate parking on Gaffey. Thankfully, they also have an entrance from the back, but it's only open until 7:00pm. After that, you have to walk around to the front, but that's understandable for late at night. The restaurant is consistently clean and I've never seen it otherwise. They do have a restroom for customers, just ask for the code at the front register. The girl who greeted me at the register (Andrea) was super nice, including the cook, because she greeted me on my way in, as I held the door for her to take the trash out. One thing I really appreciated was how pretty they made my plate, not just slapping it on there and handing it to you. The side salad was so pretty! The presentation was not what I expected! Thank you, Andrea for preparing it so nicely. Their prices are very reasonable and even though it's healthy, it's filling and you don't feel like you're missing out on anything. When you choose a plate, you get a protein, plus rice, a side salad, and fruit. They have different protein choices, such as chicken, ribeye, salmon, shrimp, or tofu. For the bowls, you get a protein and rice and you can add veggies to them or you can make it a veggie bowl and add your protein to that. I love that idea, especially for dinner time, because I try to limit my carbs at night. Sometimes, lol. They also have a family meal that feeds 4. For those of you who are plant based, they have something for you, too!

Trio tacos & Sweet & Spicy Chicken Bowl

This restaurant has truly mastered the art of delivering exceptional service, especially when it comes to their chicken and beef bowls. The attention to detail in each dish is evident.. The bowls are a delightful fusion of textures, creating a satisfying experience with every bite. The tacos follow suit, showcasing a meticulous preparation that elevates the overall dining experience. They really hook it up with meat in the tacos. What sets this establishment apart is not only the quality of their dishes but the unforgettable sweet-spicy sauce that accompanies them. This sauce has become my latest craving - a perfect balance of sweetness and heat that adds a distinctive kick to every dish. Additionally, the dumplings are a hidden gem on the menu.The restaurant's commitment to excellence, from service to flavor, makes it a standout quick healthy spot in San Pedro. Usually there is parking right in front. Just watch out for Maniacs speeding on Gaffey

My husband and I walked into the restaurant. Immediately we're welcomed the cashier was extremely kind when taking our order, and not even just that but took less than 5 mins to receive our complicated order.

This review will be for my visit on 6/28 for a late breakfast. We ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito and it was soooo good. It's my second time getting it because it's just that good. The first time I had the salsa it came with, I knew it was authentically made, because it tasted like my mom's homemade salsas! This visit I made sure to ask the sweet lady who brought out our food if she makes it, to which she shared that they did make it fresh in house! This visit we also got to meet the owner who was also very kind and welcoming to us. I would 100% recommend to everyone local or visitor to check it out for yourself! Not only is the food amazing but the atmosphere is perfect place to people watch, read a book, study, or meet a friend (and if you're lucky get to pet cute adoptable dogs) Lastly the Oreo cheesecake is freaking good!!!!

The store is tucked away in a residential neighborhood and is SO cute! There's plenty of seating and lots of fun little knickknacks to browse while you wait. Not only do they have snacks and drinks, but they also carry handcrafted local goods, which makes the space feel extra special. I picked up a few snacks for myself and my pup (yes, they even have a pet section with an amazing variety of homemade treats!). The employee working was kind and offered suggestions on which pastry to try. He was warm, professional, and gave off a genuinely neighborly vibe. I'll definitely be back. If only you were a little closer! Such a charming local gem.

The sandwich was very good. Ingredients were fresh. Bread was perfect. But the employees seem sad.

I finally swung by Chori-Man after hearing everyone rave about their house-made chorizo, and…read morehonestly, the hype is real. I'm a bit of a chilaquiles snob, but these are easily some of the best I've had in town. The chips actually held their crunch even with all that sauce, which is a rare find. I got mine with their maple habanero chorizo--the perfect balance of sweet and kick. It's a small, local spot, but the flavor they're pushing out of that kitchen is massive. The Breakdown: * Quality: You can tell the chorizo is artisan. It doesn't have that greasy, heavy feeling of the mass-produced stuff. * The Sauce: Perfectly seasoned. Not too salty, just purely flavorful. * Service: Super chill and friendly. It feels like a neighborhood staple because it is. Pro-Tip: Parking can be a bit of a hunt right there on 9th, so just be prepared to walk a block. Also, grab a pound of the loose chorizo to take home for breakfast the next day--you'll thank yourself later.

Atmosphere: This spot offers convenient pull-up service with a few outdoor seating options, making it a casual and easy stop for breakfast. Price: My meal cost $17, which is about average for Los Angeles. Overall: I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!
