Very Healthy. Good tasting. My only gripe was that I felt like the staff or management was being extra stingy with only allowing one serving of drinks. read more

Best waba grill, they hook your bowl up !!! And so nice to customers! They welcome you and also make sure you have sauce at your table! Thanks for making waba grill a great experience guys! Keep it up read more

I am not a Teriyaki fan, and this place is, of course, all Teriyaki. Therefore, I am rating it for what it is, not for my personal preferences. Food is cheap: my husband and I ate for $11. I got a chicken plate and he got a chicken and rice bowl. There was enough of it for me to be full, my husband finished my plate (but he's one of those guys that can put down a ton of food). Food is good: again, I'm not a fan of Teriyaki, but I liked this. Chicken isn't dry and the sauce isn't too syrupy or too bitter. It's just right. People are nice: the two gentlemen working there were very friendly but not at all in an overwhelming way. Parking is kind of weird, but we were able to find a place. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for just some quick Teriyaki or a healthy lunch. read more

I love Waba grill, while I'm in that area, I buy Salmon veggie bowl!!! I put only 4 stars, because they charged me EXTRA 0,45 cents for a brown rice...+Tax 0,78... So, total I paid 9,48$. I wish they will not charge for a brown rice... Oh, yes, the girl didn't ask me what rice would I prefer... read more

WaBa Grill - Fast Food Near Me - Tarzana, California

Im not a huge teriyaki fan but my kid loves it!!!!! Always!!!! Mom can we go to waba grill???!!! NOT AGAIN!!!!! But he loves it read more

It sucks that this location must taint the name of Waba Grill is a whole. The owner is a JOKE. I always go to another location and decided to stop at this one because it was on the way. HORRIBLE DECISION. The portions are WAY smaller. Enough to where my friend had to complain and all the owner had to say was "yes that the serving size" and that he's been in business for 11 years. Who cares??? He also eyes you down while you fill up sauce like you're pulling out dollars of his personal account. NEVER going back here again. I also posted a picture of my HALF FILLED plate. Have a good one folks. read more

WaBa Grill - Fast Food Near Me - Tarzana, California

Ok, seriously. Five stars for a "Fast Food" Teriyaki place? YES! I tried Waba one day for lunch while visiting one of the shops in this strip mall and was incredibly surprised by the food - in a pleasant way! I've been back here many times and even brought my wife, who detests fast food teriyaki and you know what? She loves it. The food is NOT greasy at all. The vegetables always taste fresh and the teriyaki sauce is not too sweet. We order take-out from here whenever we feel like a quick teriyaki fix and don't want to sit down at Midori or Kushiyu or any of the other japanese restaurants in the area - many of which are not as good as Waba! read more

The food is always good. And the girls and the cook here have awesome customer service skills. read more

The customer service was awesome and the food is delicious. Waba grill never fails me. read more

WaBa Grill - Look at that avocado! - Fast Food Near Me - Tarzana, California

This place deserves ZERO stars. Nothing against WaBa Grill but do yourself a favor and go to any of their other nearby locations. The owner / manager is Unbelievably rude and just an outright awful person. Because this branch is an independent franchise this older Asian man is extremely comfortable with treating people like garbage and cursing at them because he knows the corporate office can't do anything to him. He banged on my car and proceeded to call me skinny tight a**, a b***h, and other heinous remarks all because I parked my car in the 5 min pick up spot without calling to place an order in advance. MIND YOU, the curbside is painted green and says 30 minute parking as a legit indication of what's permitted and the owner printed out a piece paper and put it on a stick in front of the parking spot and claimed it as his own, sorry that's not enforceable!! Had the lot not been completely full I would've taken another spot per usual and then ordered but even still that doesn't excuse his behavior especially when he decided to start taking pictures of me on his cell phone, I never gave him consent to do that and it was completely creepy and unnecessary considering there's already security cameras!Extremely unprofessional and behaves in a disgusting manner, never returning to this location, I can't wait for them to go out of business or change the manager. read more

I've been to a couple waba grills and this is the worst by far. The customer service sucks but that's all on management. The girl that takes your order usually gives you a stink face if you don't tip them. The portions are so small compared to the other locations, I pay extra for chicken and all the guy does is chop it into smaller pieces like people won't notice. I've been here several times and I don't plan on returning. I'll have to drive the extra mile to go to a different location. read more

I've been to other Waba places and this one is by far the worst one I've been to. Portions are smaller and pricier the customer service is no good. Not coming to this place ever again read more

I love the food I'm getting salmon salad today much needed on a hot day rolling thru tarzana

I ordered the steak and veggie bowl needless to say I ended up putting hot sauce allover it bc it was so flavorless and bland....the funny thing is it already came with a sweet sauce on it before I resorted to applying the hot sauce. Even after applying the hot sauce it only tasted like hot sauce itself. The steak looked like shredded dog food from a can. I've seen better steak from a taco bell and it tasted bland as well. Waste of money. Will not be ordering from here again. read more

The customer service was great, they treat their customers very well and even though it was my first time at a WaBa grill I can tell they have many loyal customers for a good reason. The food was great considering it was $5. Very simple, good rice, chicken and good teriyaki sauce. read more

Would be great if they could get your order correct. Ordered a half/half plate with no rice, all vegetables, and a salmon bowl with all vegetables, no rice. Sauce on the side for both. The order was repeated back to me by the pleasant sounding man on the phone. When we got home and opened the to-go bag, we had a chicken bowl with white rice and sauce. The other was a chicken bowl with half rice and half vegetables with sauce. Word of warning - check your order before you leave to avoid crushing disappointment. read more

I must say that I'm very disappointed because I love Waba Grill restaurants but this location has to be the worst Waba Grill ever. We arrived around 3:30 on a Wednesday and there were no customers. The only employees were an extremely inattentive cashier and 2 cooks that were cleaning. We placed our order and after waiting nearly 15 minute, a friend of one of the cooks arrives and is served in under 3 min. We then continue to wait and get our food about 10 min later, but only after they discussed their weekend soccer match. Our group of 4 coworkers immediately noticed that we all got extremely small portions of chicken and beef, while the friend has an overflowing bowl. This is totally unacceptable. They basically used our portions to "take care of a friend". To add insult to injury, the chicken and beef were overcooked and dry. Needless to say, I will not be returning to this location. I must add, the establishment was the most unkept of any other Waba grills. The bathroom was downright filthy!!!!!which is the same bathroom used by the staff. Yuk! read more

i worked next door to this place, and the day the opened, the owner came by with a free meal. it smelled delicious, and all of us sat near it, wondering if anyone else would offer it up. i finally asked if i could have it, and everyone groaned that i could. it was a half half plate, half steak, half chicken, served on white rice and covered in teriyaki sauce. i could tell you how good it was, or i could tell you that i ate there every single day for lunch for 4 months straight. plus, the owner is a sweetheart and though her english is not perfect, will remember your name, your favourite dish, and always be so damned happy to see you that any day is made brighter. read more

This place is great for getting a healthy meal at a good price. I was in LA on a business trip. I never eat fast food and didn't have a lot of time before my meeting. I thought this would be a healthy alternative. No msg, made to order, brown rice...it is fantastic. Also while I was there, the owner stepped outside as a homeless man sat at the outside table. She brought him a plate of food and some water. I found out she donates dinners once a month. This restaurant has an owner with class. read more

This place costs more than my normal valley glen location.. Ordering the same exact thing. The girl at the register was rude and they were super skimpy with the steak.. I asked for a steak bowl not a rice bowl. I only went because I was near it, but I'll travel the distance next time to make sure I'm satisfied! read more

WaBa Grill - One extremely thin layer of steak covering less than half the bowl.. First and last time at this location. - Fast Food Near Me - Tarzana, California

Was a regular. Not coming anymore. The old man the owner gave me a hard time when I was going to get my free chicken bowl after getting all my signatures on my reward card. If u arnt gonna honor them don't offer them. Then when I ask him for two new ones one for me and another for my friend he gave her one signature and didn't sign mine. He was being a jerk so I don't see myself ever coming back! EVER! read more

Cool place and good service ...salmon with avacado was tasty . They are little stingy but I liked it anyway ... Health and clean !

Very good! Reasonable price for a very good amount of food. I got the steak platter and added avocado it was delicious and very filling. The establishment is very clean and well kept, will return for lunch again soon. read more

I came here to eat the owner was very rude to me. Also the customer service here is probably the worst I've ever experienced in any restaurant. The owner was cursing at me for no reason she has anger issues I believe I will not come back here again ever !! read more

This is the worst Waba I've ever been to. The owner was on the phone while he was taking my order. Didn't ask if I wanted brown or white rice. Didn't ask me if I wanted the onions on top. Then when I realized that he didn't ask and told him I wanted brown rice, he charged me an extra 45 cents! I've never been charged extra for brown rice before! Also, no iced tea. This owner clearly doesn't know anything about customer service or running a restaurant. He should be embarrassed and Waba should pull his franchise from him. He is not a good representation of this company. read more

If I could give this place less than one star I would. I normally LOVE WabaGrill which is why I ventured into this location to begin with but what began as an absolutely ridiculous experience ended as such- the owner is a very rude and very judgmental Asian man, got my order placed on the phone for pick up wrong, and then when I asked him (very kindly) if he wouldn't mind fixing it up with the avocado cut decently on top instead of a browned rotting mess thrown on the bowl, he closed the bowl and told me "no service go". Horrible hospitality, very low grade food and extremely unpleasant to be around. Makes sense why it's been empty each time I've ever driven by it. I'm not one to leave negative reviews on businesses, but the impact this particular experience at this particular location had on me is something I wanted to warn everyone about. Do yourselves a favor and if you're craving a delicious Waba bowl, don't go to this location. The extra drive will be worth everything to go to the next one over, trust me. read more

First of all, my husband and I love the food here. It's healthy, it tastes good, and it's close to home. We have probably been there 4 times in the last month, if not more! Even the kids love it. I am giving this place a bad review based on an interaction with an employee, or possibly the owner/manager. He seemed to be in charge in some capacity. Basically, I ordered the steak veggie bowl w/brown rice. During my order I had a couple of questions and special instructions, (annoying, I know) so a mistake was almost inevitable. Anyway, my bowl came with white rice instead. I did not blame the girl who took my order AT ALL, these things happen. I took the bowl up to the counter and apologized, because I hate sending food back, and the guys in the kitchen seemed totally fine with it. I go back to my table and an older Asian gentleman approaches me with an order ticket. He very loudly asks me if I ordered brown rice. I said that yes, I had ordered brown rice, and he says, "If you ordered it, it should have been written that way." I was kind if appalled. I've never been confronted that way when my order was wrong. Not at a fancy restaurant, not at McDonald's...NOWHERE! As someone who works in customer service, this was shocking, especially since we're such good customers. I couldn't tell if he was upset with me, or the girl who had taken my order. Either way it was handled poorly. He was SO LOUD, he basically alerted everyone there of the situation, which was quite frankly a little embarrassing. He acted as though he was taking some incredible loss by changing my order, which just leads me to believe that he must be very cheap. I also felt like he was accusing me of lying about my initial order by confronting me in that way, which just made me angry. It was just unacceptable... He ended up giving me my original bowl back with a side of brown rice. Like I said, CHEAP! Would it have been SO hard to give me what I actually ordered.I was really put off, so much so that I really don't know if I'll go back. I am so disappointed that as a great customer I would be treated so poorly. I have to say, also seemed grouchy with his employees. I'm so bummed to have had such a bad experience at a place I like so much. read more

My boyfriend and I are addicted to this place! I love the chicken teriyaki bowl with brown rice. YUM. The food is delicious and definitely a healthy alternative to some fast food. Also, the place is spotless clean and, the workers, they may be the owners, are sooo nice! Love this place! read more

Have to give Waba a 5 out of 5 not only for quick healthy food on the go but for consistently having good customer service. The few times I've been there I have always been greeted as I walk through the door and given a good bye on my way out. Food is good, and the prices are about average. Skip on the drink and get water for a healthy and tasty guilt free lunch! read more

Not sure what is up, but, I made a purchase at a truck vendor and Goldman Sachs processed it as Waba Grill at this location. The vendor doubled my tip, not much money, but fraud nonetheless. I emailed Waba Grill headquarters and they wasted my time with emails back and forth denying that any of their franchisees own the MAC and Cheese truck. LOL! Even when presented with the bank receipt that showed it was WaBa Grill! Yes, I'm sure a big bank like Goldman Sachs is confused, NOT. The customer service and acceptance of any responsibility is pathetic! I will NeVER go to any Waba Grill and recommend others stay away too! read more

Love everything here! The meat is so fresh and tasty! The rice isn't dry. Great little quick go to place if you want something that isn't that bad on your insides! read more

Love this place... Food is always fresh and tasty. The mixed plate is my absolute favorite with brown rice. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for good, tasty teriyaki!!! read more

Just damn good rice bowls. Try the everything! Congenial staff. Parking in the strip mall's lot is atrocious. Also atrocious is Yelp's rating system. Wouldn't a 100 point system make a lot more sense? read more

Customer service is trash. Needs to learn on how to treat people with respect. Owner/manager is extremely rude and needs help on learning how to properly run a business and treat his customer fairly! read more

Wabbbbbaaa grill is so close to my work and I gotta say that their food is simple and so fresh!! I usually get the chicken/veggie bowl with brown rice. If you are trying to watch your diet, I would definitely recommend this place to everyone!!!! The owner is nice and they are not stingy with their sauces, which you all know is a big deal for me. I'm craving it right now and will probably have it for lunch tomorrow. I have tried their shrimp bowl too and that's bomb!!! read more

Me and the girlfriend tried this place on Tuesday night and man it was good. Very friendly, and a very clean environment. The food was great and I am definitely going back. read more

Finally tried this place and I am kicking myself for waiting this long. Friendly, fast, and oh soooo Good! Want a great and healthy meal then go there sooner than later;) read more

Really good! Got the salmon bowl for the first time. The food was hot and fresh and the teriyaki sauce wasn't overly sweet. Their salmon was moist and hot. If I need to be picky, I think putting a little scallion or cilantro on top would be nice and would give it color because pink and brown on white in black is just to monochromatic. read more

Love this place. Great healthy food. The owner is really nice too.
