    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!

    Great Service, Very Polite, Very clean, "Waba Grill exceeded expectations with delicious, flavorful teriyaki chicken . Exceptional service and a must-visit for a delightful dining experience!"

    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.

    A flavorful fusion of Cajun and Cambodian food that feels like a home cooked meal!…read more The grilled beef sticks were the highlight for me, the meat was juicy and had a strong lemongrass flavor. The pickled daikon and carrots also cut through the richness of the meat. We also got the spicy Cajun bag, which had a good amount of seafood and was easily splittable between two people. The seafood tasted fresh, and the sauce was very flavorful! The Thai tea was also creamy and refreshing, perfect for fighting the heat of the seafood. There is no bathroom, but the staff was also super nice and let us wash our hands in the sink behind the register. The spot is pretty small, with a few tables inside. The food was so good that I was surprised it wasn't busy at all, it definitely deserves more business!

    Seating is limited to 2 benches and a wall counter. Place is small BUT cozy…read more I ordered their Cajun Bag ($37), comes with 1lb of shrimp, 4 sausages, 6 mussels, 4 potatoes and 2 corn. I added 5 more sausages ($1/each), 2 more muscles ($1/each), 1lb of shrimp ($14 extra), and a soda can ($2)... $64 after taxes. Food arrives and we're given a pair of cafeteria lady plastic gloves, 2 of the thinnest papper plates imaginable and about 7 napkins. Theres no covers on the bench so I slice our bag open to where we can grab the food but not spill out on the table. Food gymnastics! When we finish eating we ask for wet naps to clean our hands and they dont have any, restroom? Nope, no public restroom. Were told we can come into the kitchen and wash our hands of we like.... thanks but no thanks. Thr girl still the register was super friendly though, so she got them an extra star in my review. The food: I dont know if im spoiled by other places, but it could also be that this isnt specifically a sea food boil place. Its a Asian fusion location with an option of a seafood boil bag, but i come to expect a bit more out of the sauce option. Like the sauce that was in the bag was just enough to coat the food and that's it. I seen like a couple sliced garlic pieces but really? Like 6 or 7 slices? Then the sausages.... theyre store bought hilshire farms sausages... and to charge $1 A SLICE IS DIABOLICAL! The clams were chewy, the shrimp was mushy... im forever now gonna take that 30 minte drive to anywhere for seafood boil. I really wanted to like this place, I really did... but im sorry, I just cant do a boil from here again.

Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Store is a little small, but there are seats. May be better to order carryout during busy hours. I highly recommend this place. It's a definite gem that I will be adding to my list of faves!

    I was really excited to see that they offered Onigirazu and Okinawa style musubis, because I love…read moreboth of these items but they're not really offered anywhere close to me. The only place that does okinawa musubi that I knew of is in koreatown, and I don't know of any spots that does onigirazu in LA. The okinawa style musubi was amazing and monstrously thick, thicker than some burgers I've had. I really enjoyed the shrimp tempura onigirazu as well, and will definitely be back to try the other varieties. I once traveled for 40 min in New York to try out a spot that also had shrimp tempura onigirazus, but they were only sold prepackaged and cold, so it's such a bonus to have them made fresh. Owners were extremely friendly and offered a large cup of cold water when I picked up my food which is a god send in this heat wave we've been experiencing. This is such a friendly and affordable mom and pop shop, and my platonic ideal of a restaurant. I would be a regular here at least twice a week if I was a resident, I'm jealous of the locals that can frequent this gem anytime they want.
