    Chicken salad / dumplings.
    Lianne K.

    Ambiance at this location is literally nothing to write home about. Bland, boring, uninteresting. It looks less like a corporate-owned, or even a franchise of a known entity, and more like a mom & pop that was put together on the cheap. I just looked it up - there are about 200 locations of WaBa Grill in California & Arizona. I'd expect more of an aesthetic, frankly. We had been to one in the Palm Springs area some years ago and recall it as being bright and cheerful. The menu leans toward healthy choices, which is great. We should all try to eat healthier, right? I went for a house chicken salad. Dear Hubby went for a plate with beef and chicken teriyaki over rice. My salad had a LOT of chicken! A very generous amount, actually. I shared some of my greens with DH, and sampled some of the beef and rice from his plate. We also ordered a side of dumplings, and those were flavorful and prepared just right. I even give them a thumbs up for having zero calorie vitamin water as an option at the drink dispenser. The cashier was friendly and helped us with the menu options, since we had a few questions. The orders came out pretty rapidly, which suggests that some of the basics are prepped already, and then the heated meats are added as needed. I'd give the place one more star except for the very basic, almost depressing interior. It was clean, and that's a definite plus! It just felt dark to me.

    This is the second time they get my order wrong! I love WaBa grill but I don't understand how they receive online orders and make them wrong. I got a chicken and steak plate and got no chicken or the sauce for the dumplings

    Great location during the day for lunch. Alex and Jose the staff there were super nice and welcoming and helpful with our order to get the best waba experience possible. The place was very clean and neat.

    Waba has always been a safe choice for me. I don't come here too often, but when I do they never disappoint. If you need a well balanced meal, this is definitely the place to go. They prices are bad, and the food is delicious! The staff is always very nice as well.

    We were passing through Simi, had heard of The Hat and saw the location. Pulled into the lot, it…read morewas jammed but found a space down the back. I figured the odds are the food is good. Just inside the door it was obvious to get a place to sit you better be seated "now!" Everyone was eating, tables were covered with food, it looked great. Our order was taken, the person taking the order was quick, to the point and was not asking how my mother was doing. We were there to eat-not socialize. The receipt was ripped off and passed over with a flick. No instruction given like 'they'll call your number' or 'you pick up over there.' In the next 5 minutes if you paid attention for about 20 seconds you learned how things worked. It was busy, plates looked great and the aroma inside the place was something else. Our food came quick, we sat and began to peel open our pastrami dip sandwiches. Oh, they smelled great. They looked great. The meat was delicious, melt-in-your mouth tender. They did notice us! They like us! I could not imagine how much better a pastrami sandwich could have been. The bread was very good too-you know the Earl of Sandwich was onto to something way back when....the combination of meat and bread was great. The Hat has numerous other locations in the LA area...if you want a beyond generous sandwich you must stop and order the pastrami.

    Stopped by here for lunch right after landing in LA and it was packed with a lunch rush. We ordered…read morethe pastrami dip, pastrami burger, small fries, and onion rings. The pastrami burger and onion rings were the highlights for me. The onion rings were super crispy with a nice, light batter. The burger hit the spot too. The fries were a bit underwhelming though, kind of bland and definitely needed more seasoning. Overall, a solid stop if you're craving pastrami, but I'd skip the fries next time.

    Whoa! The Skywalker Sandwich is phenomenal,I don't think I have ever had such a flavorful sandwich…read morebefore. The Dutch crunch bread type was very interesting and a must try,if you have never had it. I had everything on it. Mustard, mayo lettuce, tomato, pickles. Not sure what else was in it other than avocado but it was amazing. Customer service was much to be desired and the dude with the long dirty blonde hair definitely needs some lessons with explaining kindly rather than just pointing at a sign. This dude shouldn't be at the front line taking orders,who knows how much business he's losing as a result of his public social skills. Placing an order. Speaking with this guy was a very unpleasant experience. The owner needs to record the interaction and reactions of the employees and customers to see what's going in. The food? Fantastic! Couldn't recommend a better place to order a sandwich from. Service not so much. Would have given at least a 4 ,but again customer service skills is lacking here. The sandwich maker with the brown short hair is really nice and pleasant to interact with. Maybe ted Nugent should watch how he interacts with the public. Update: Mgmnt got back really quick and remediated the issue with the employee and hopefully improves over time. Sometimes,that's all it takes to get the full 5* stars, thanks Steve!

I decided to go with The Lake show sandwich, cause I love the Lakers and I love salami. In addition to salami, the sandwich came with their bomb sauce, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. The sandwich was served hot and it was absolutely delicious. With every bite I experienced so many flavor notes. It was savory, a little sour, vinegary and also a little sweet from the ripe veggies. The yummy salami was perfectly complemented by the other ingredients and each bite was perfect, especially with the sourdough bread that I chose for my sandwich. For salami lovers, The Lake Show sandwich is top notch and a must try! The customer service was solid and the spot is pretty casual and has some tables i side for dining in. Will come back again when in the area!

So, I dropped by Chick-fil-A in Simi Valley to try their much-recommended Cob Salad with Avocado and Lime Dressing. The lettuce was fresh and was enhanced by newly cooked fried and chopped chicken breasts with tomatoes, and other condiments. The salad was cased in a plastic container and was fully closed in a transparent manner. I also ordered 3 chicken breast fillets and tomato catsup; the chicken was fresh and was hot to the touch when it was served. I'd like to specially mention the smoking ladies at the front desk who took our orders. They were excellent ambassadors to the barns who made us comfortable as we experienced our first time to dine at the store. I often order and run at the drive in and never had a chance to enter the stores wherever I've been assigned to work. So, if you want to dine at an excellent Chicken store showcasing healthy options from chicken to salads that will make you keep coming for more, drop by Chick-fil-A chicken and enjoy their food to the max! I'd say, you'll never see Chicken like Chick-fil-A anywhere, anytime or anymore! It's just the best chicken there is!

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. I was told that I couldn't reserve a table for our group or put up any kind of signage to help everyone find us. While I understand businesses have their own policies, I was disappointed by the lack of willingness to accommodate a group of customers who were there to support the business and make purchases. The one person who truly made a difference was Nick. He was kind, helpful, and went out of his way to make us feel welcome. He was the only employee who offered assistance, and he is the reason this review is getting 3 stars instead of 1. Everyone in our group purchased food and drinks, and we appreciated the opportunity to try the menu. However, based on the overall experience and customer service, I personally won't be returning. I hope the team recognizes the value of having employees like Nick, because his kindness stood out in an otherwise disappointing visit.
