    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 decided on Oi Asian which had great reviews, so why not. First off, let me say that there is plenty of parking, however, the parks are extremely narrow for some reason. It was a struggle to get in and out of the car due to the width of the parks smh. Anyway, once we got inside, there wasn't anyway at the register and after standing there for a while, I noticed the kiosk so unplaced my order there. There were only two cooks in the back. We placed our order and sat down. The place was clean but everything seemed like it was do it yourself. The boys were thirsty and there wasn't an option for water on the kiosk, so I called one of the cooks from the back to pay for a water and he rang me up. It was pretty rough in there. At one point I had to get up and grab my own fork by reaching over the counter. Once our food was ready, one of the cooks brought our food and I wasn't really feeling my meal, which was the dynamite crawfish bowl. I didn't like the sauce it came with. I just picked at the crawfish and left the rest. As for the boys meal, the fried chicken adobo bowl was REALLY good! I ended up eating theirs because my oldest son didn't like it, which was great for me lol. My youngest and I tore that bowl up. Anyway, the verdict is, I may search around for other options but I know that if I can't find anything else I can always grab a chicken adobo bowl but the service was pretty nonexistent. That chicken adobo bowl saved it. OOO 3 out of 5

    This place is ok. The atmosphere is lively but the ramen itself is "mid": we ordered the soft…read moreboiled egg (pictured correctly to be soft inside and marinated) and both were not flavorful and the yolk was cooked all the way through. The beef in the ox shoyu was soft and the chicken in the chicken miso ramen was also flavorful. My complaint about the broth in general is that it is salty, but honestly most ramen places are like that. To me the broth was more of a dipping sauce than soup, I found it too salty to drink directly. Service: I had wanted to order the vegetarian ramen for the toppings and sub the vegetarian broth for the beef but "no substitutions allowed" which I think is kind of ridiculous because ramen is literally put together with broth, noodles, and toppings. It is dead simple to make a substitution of broth but...oh well. The nice touch was the small Japanese chocolate wafer given with the bill.

    Great for the price as long as you temper your expectations…read more In this economy, Golden Panda is still doing $17.99 for lunch, $21.99 for dinner, and $23.99 for weekends all without time limit, so if you are going in expecting some gourmet buffet, you are most likely going to be disappointed. But if you go in with the expectation that you can try a ton of different food for the same price as a regular eat out, you might be pleasantly surprised like me. The hot food sections consist of Chinese buffet classics and a small selection of western foods like fried chickens and shrimp boils, etc. The quality of the Chinese dishes are honestly surprising good. Better than Panda Express, which isn't a high bar but still, and even has expensive dishes like fried crabs that is actually good. IMO even if you only eat from this section, you will have your money's worth and have a good time. The sushi/seafood bar is a slightly more complicated story. The rolls didn't look appetizing so I didn't try them. The chilled seafoods like cocktail shrimps and mussels didn't taste too fresh and I am a little worried after eating them. The sushi/sashimi, which are the main star of the entire buffet, are honestly pretty decent but with a caveat. They are obviously not sushi restaurants quality, but the fish are fresh enough and the sushi rice are decent enough that I when back for more. The only thing that concerned me is that the tongs used for sushi and sashimi are very dirty with food residue on them. They don't seem to be changing frequently if at all, and using something that has been touching raw fish and sitting out for a long time concerns me. If I get sick from the sushi it is probably not the sushi itself but the tongs. Lastly, the desert section is great like many comments have said, the fruits are fresh, cakes are decent, and the gelato ice creams are very high quality. Service is alright. They have remodeled so it is definitely cleaner than before and the bathroom is nice too. Overall a good place for the money, and would be a great place if the focus a bit more on the cleanliness of the food station
