    10/27/2025 at 5pm they put an expired avocado in my bowl. Whoever made this should be ashamed of themselves. This is pitiful. Go to a different location.

    The steak/beef salad w extra beef. Pretty darn good. Loved the almonds!

    If you're tired of going to the same healthy options over and over and over. Try WaBa. The salad with extra beef is SO good. It's a huge salad with almonds that add so much flavor. Great fresh food, great salad. Next time I'm starving at lunch or even dinner and I want a lot of food without the calories I'll be here again and again.

    The girls who work the front are usually always so so nice and welcoming, but the young girl working today at 7:30pm ish was very unwelcoming and rude. I called ahead to place my order and after finishing & saying thank you she literally just hung up on me but I thought okay it doesn't matter. When I actually walked inside and said I was here for my order she was very standoffish but I thought okay understands because I know they closed soon, but after actually getting in my car and looking at my order I saw I have very very little steak on my bowl and that just did it for me. It isn't fair for her to think that it's okay to be rude to people AND not fulfill their order properly. I recommend you try a different waba

    At WaBa Grill, they strive to serve the best possible teriyaki menu items using all natural ingredients. We use fruit and vegetables to enhance the flavor of our amazing teriyaki sauce. We use boneless, skinless, fat-trimmed chicken, and other high quality meat. There salads are prepared shortly before serving, our veggies are lightly steamed to perfection, and all meats are charbroiled. No oil is ever used for cooking, and nothing is fried. You will enjoy the clean, low-fat, healthy entrees freshly prepared to order that appeal to your desire for tasty food, served at "on the go" speed. No Oil Used in Cooking Cooked Fresh to Order Low Fat, Low Calories Low Carb Options High Protein Fresh Vegetables Absolutely Delicious!!

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.

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.

This spot is all about custom‑built salads, clean flavors, and that modern Korean‑fresh vibe that makes you feel healthier just by walking through the door.

Sleek counters, fresh ingredients on display, and a layout that whispers, "Miguel... cleanse your soul." I swear the lighting alone shaved off two calories. Service here is friendly, fast, and genuinely attentive.

These little pockets of joy had me questioning whether cleansing the soul requires this much flavor. * Classic BBQ Beef Bowl Salad, tender beef, fresh greens, and that sweet‑savory BBQ hit that makes you forget you're technically eating a salad. It's the kind of bowl that says, "Yes, you can be healthy and happy." * Fiesta Chicken Salad Bowl, wow was it bright, zesty, and full of personality. This bowl tasted like a celebration of all the good decisions I pretend to make daily. The flavors were lively enough to make me believe my diet is actually working. Listen... I came here trying to cleanse my soul, detox my week's sins, and remind my body what vegetables look like. But these salads, super delicious. They had me feeling like a saint. I took one bite and thought, "Wow, maybe I am turning my life around." Second bite: "Okay, let's not get carried away... but this is a good start."

I stopped in on a Tuesday for lunch and knew I was going to get the curry puffs. The last time I ordered these I was with a friend and had to share but not this time. I was on a solo lunch and looking forward to the puffs! To say they are "perfect" seems insufficient. They were fried incredibly well, hot, crunchy, tasty, but never greasy. And these little puffs were filled with minced beef, potatoes, and seasoning! For my main dish, I chose the dragon noodles (pad thai) with chicken. All the veggies in the dish were cooked perfectly, nothing too mushy, just the right amount of crunch/bite to the cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. And the chicken was chunky! And while I loved everything about the dish, the sprinkling of the crushed peanuts was *chef's kiss*. There's no skimping on those peanuts here. As I write this I'm excited for the leftover noodles waiting for me. When you walk into Sausalido you really do feel welcomed. The space is unassuming in the best way possible. Posters of the drinks they offer (coffee, smoothies, boba) adorn the walls, along with pictures of the various food items they have. The restaurant is across the street from Alondra Park and there are other businesses in the center. So, if you need to do your laundry do that and grab a meal at Sausalido. Get a massage and then get food at Sausalido. Get your nails done and head next door to Sausalido for a treat. Get here and get here quick!

There is so much love, so much heart that is put into the food. Additionally, the amount of food is coma sending. I finished the food and was so ready to take a nap in the warm weather. It's literally like eating grandma's food when youre a young child. The spicy tuna came out first and we were shocked at how delicious the fish was. There wasn't a lot of rice which I appreciated and that fish had a bit of a kick. Pair that with some wasabi shoyu and you're tasting some real goodness. The spam musubi was solid with the furikake. My only gripe was that it had a bit too much rice which could have been better balanced with a thicker slice of spam. Regardless, it was solid. Now the star was the chicken combo. Boy oh boy, that Ladybug Fried Chicken was amazing. The batter had so much flavor and added to the juicy chicken. Pair that with you salad and mac salad.. oh my.. youre tasting a slice of Heaven! Fair warning, there is some grinded celery in the mac salad, so if youre allergic then let them know. Otherwise, that aroma of celery added so much depth to the mac. I can't emphasize enough, there is so much love in the food and the servers take gooooood care of you. It was also amazing to see how much attention to detail the owners put in the restaurant. There is ladybug decor all throughout the place and hand drawn papers from customers. It was really neat to see how much love they receive from their customers.
