    Stopped by Waba Grill and was really let down. The heavy-set guy named Jesus at the register didn't greet us, didn't smile, and had zero personality. He just stood there with a giant tip container on the counter this is a fast food place, not full-service. Why are tips even being pushed? We ordered chicken rice bowls, but the portions were weak barely any protein, and for the price, it just didn't feel worth it. We asked for green onions, which were forgotten, so we had to go back up and ask again. Also told him the order was for here, but he packed it to-go anyway, probably just to avoid cleaning a tray. The restaurant itself was clean, but that's about the only positive thing I can say. We left still hungry and pretty disappointed. Definitely won't be coming back.

    Came to this place Great good Worker was quick and prompt Will say though that there was a customer trying to get his attention but either the AirPod didn't let him hear the customer or he ignored them but regardless was in and out quick

    These are burned pieces of chicken. Both boxes were burned the same. I understand cooks accidentally burn the food but please, don't serve.

    My husband went inside the restaurant today and order two chicken kabob plates to go. When my husband open the boxes, he found the chicken completely burnt. He were regulars until today. Anybody willing to serve their customers burnt chicken, doesn't deserve my respect.

    Looks packed, chicken was so dry

    I'd rather have Formosa or Flame Broiler, but we needed a fast and quick meal in this area we were in. It was empty right before dinner time with only a couple other people dining in besides us. It was clean and aesthetically decorated without being over the top tacky. Employee had his air pods in while standing around on his phone, maybe we need more present employees to ensure quality control. My steak bowl costing $12+ was half the size of my daughter's chicken bowl including half the serving of rice and veggies, looked like I got a kid's meal. Both steak and chicken were disappointing and meats were beyond dry, the dumplings were decent.

    Honestly for 13 bucks this is a major steal. Its really good. I used to be a chipotle guy but it sucks compared to this . Perfect balance of protein for a good price.

    Stake plus chicken rice bowl with protein my dog would have hard time to chew

    Love Waba Grill but after last order I will avoid it. Chicken is so dry is hard to chew, feeling like you chewing nails. Stake is chopped rubber, trying to chew but can't. Had to eat it cuz was hungry. Service was absolutely horrible. The guy didn't say A WORD while taking my order, got the feeling like I did something wrong while ordering my food. The biggest disappointment for me from my fav lunch-at-work restaurant.

    Raw vegetables and rice is hardly there. Very disappointing! Charge me for a mini bowl

    I ordered a chicken bowl and salmon bowl. I told the young man at the register my vegetables were raw and he argued that with me about it! I had to keep repeating myself because he didn't believe me. Also, the rice was an inch and a half deep on both bowls. Terrible service! I spent $30 on two bowls and get treated like that? I'm not going back. The young man has a real attitude problem. I've been coming here for years and I know he's relatively new but no excuse. Plus when I walked it the door it smelling like a public restroom.

    Chicken (white meat) & veggie bowl... hit the spot after a rough painful weekend!!

    Food was good but found a hair on my orange that wasn't mine and when I let a worker know he made a joke about it and that was about it.

    Food is fine (assuming they get the order correct), but Staff is lazy and has horrible customer service.

    If I could give 10 stars I would, everything was amazing from the drinks to the food! Jimmy who I…read moreassume is the owner was SOOOO nice and super friendly he made the experience so amazing. The drinks we got were "It's Raining" and Passion fruit tea which were both AMAZING! Highly recommended omg we had to get another to go. We got the chicken sandwich which again was amazing, as well as the chicken tenders. AMAZING! Love this place will be coming back. Super clean and everything is well kept as a plus!

    This has been my go-to place when I'm feeling like having a drink and some pub food…read more I have been here about 4-5 times and every time I have come it is has been a pleasant experience. The last time I went, I came with a friend to catch up. We came right when happy hour started. $1 off beer and finger foods. I got the gonzo mania Japanese lager and the q-ringle seasoned fries as a snack. The seasoning blend is unique and sweet. I really love the k-pub vibes and the owner Jimmy does it all! It was a Tuesday afternoon and there were a couple of customers there already. We did have to wait for a service but since he was the only one there, it was understandable and it wasn't long of a wait to get served and business was on the lighter side at the time. Once he took our order, the fries came out pretty quickly. I like the location as it is on the north end entrance of old town Temecula and one of the first businesses you see. The seating outside is great especially on a nice day and over looks the Main Street. The music blasts k-pop songs which I love since I am a fan of k-pop. The bathrooms are clean and require a key to get in. Overall, it's always a great experience, decently priced and definitely recommend this place for anyone that is looking for a drink and Korean pub food.
