    WaBa Chicken & Steak Bowl
    Frankie H.

    Waba Grill already left a good spot in my heart from the first time I tried them at their Portola Location and this time they still didn't disappoint! I ordered my food in-store at about 4:46p and was assisted by Abby at the front counter. The lobby and place is so clean and well put together. Abby was very sweet and kind and friendly and she helped me fairly quickly. I came in for their Waba Steak & Chicken Rice Bowl and 5 Dumplings. I didn't realize I came in during Waba Grill's Happy Hour and so Abby offered me a drink to go along with my 5 Dumplings. I was curious about their NEW Drink Flavor: Dragonfruit Mango Lemonade and so I got that one. My food was ready in about 7-8 minutes and Said (One of the chefs) was so kind and gentle and handed me my food and thanked me for coming in. I ended up trying the Dragonfruit Mango Lemonade and my gosh, it is so sweet and tasty! I don't think I've had Dragonfruit Lemonade juice before so this was a great refresher in the summer heat! I would definitely try it again! Now, I was ready to eat on my Waba Rice Bowl when I noticed there wasn't any steak on my bowl. I went in and let Said know and he didn't hesitate. He went back and asked his chef (Alex) if he could make some fresh steak for my bowl. Y'all, between Abby and Said and Alex, these hard workers definitely do go out of their way to make sure their customers are satisfied and taken care of! They definitely left a great enough impression for me to want to come back and support their business even further. This location is about 45-50 minutes out from where I live, but it's definitely worth the trip. From the food to the service. Waba Grill, that's two for two haha 5/5!!

    WaBa Chicken & Steak Plate
    Joe B.

    One of my favorite fast food spots. The store is clean. The guy who runs the place is very friendly and helpful in suggesting dishes to new customers. The food is amazing and fresh. My favorite is the WaBa plate, it has half chicken and half beef over rice, small salad and 3 dumplings. I load up on the WaBa sauce, that's a tasty sauce. Don't forget to get the fresh green onions to sprinkle over your plate. We usually get an extra side of dumplings as well.

    One of the best Waba grill locations around!! Love the drive thru option, and the employee named Said always offers great customer service to me each and every time I come by ! The food here is always hot fresh and delicious, comes out quickly and they never miss anything that I ask for they're very efficient here. I love that this location is also open later than all the others!! My late night go-to!

    The service here is usually not too bad, but i definitely think they should work on the attitude and whispering of the customers. The portions of the food also suck, i know they weigh it but the owner needs to lower to price to food ratio, im sure theyve lost a lot of business because of

    Skimpy ass "upgrade" - is this worth 2.99 for a lattice and SLICE of fruit?  Hell no.
    Denise H.

    Their 2.99 deal is a effing rip. Such an "upgrade" for a measly salad and a piece of "fruit." Disappointing - it was advertised as if such a big portion or value too. Shitty value in a shitty economy. Oh well. Look at my pic for that skimpy ass 2.99 deal with the salad and slice of fruit. You'd think they'd include the veggies from tier two too, but apparently not. WaBa, do better, please.

    This is how much meat was in my bowl when I opened it out of the drive through !
    Lynette T.

    Love waba grill the food is always good but this location skimps on meat every time. It's just frustrating to pay full price and get a quarter of the protein you thought you were supposed to get.

    Plantspired Steak with Waba sauce
    Debbie K.

    I had a pleasant experience at this fast food joint. I became a vegetarian before this fast food joint was established or founded. I have seen the fast food joint for years but could never able to dine there since there was no option for me. Recently, about 2 weeks ago, they came up with Plantspired Steak that is vegan. After doing a little research about how the 'steak' is cooked (whether it is separately from the meat grill) I am convinced. I even asked and watched how it was cooked and happy with the results. I have been a fan of teriyaki flavors. Their sauces are vegan (except ranch dressing) and happy that there is only a little dab on top of the 'steak' and I could pump more sauce if I need more. This way I can control the saltiness. I ordered the Plantspired Bowl with no rice but veggies only. The veggies are lightly steamed. In my opinion this is better or healthier than eating burgers, pizzas, or tacos. The restaurant is also clean and there is a drive thru.

The Food Burger - 5* I ordered the Hermanator & Sweet potato fries. Absolutely delicious burger, definitely top 3 best I've had. This was not too spicy, but it had great flavor and was cooked fresh.

Onion Rings - 3* The onion rings were also great, but it was a bit too thick in the breading. Would've been nice to be thinner in the breading. Still good though. I mixed a bit of ketchup with Siriacha. Kicked the fries up a notch. Great for the burger too. The Cookie - 4* The cookie is soft and doesnt crumble. The chocolate could've been spread through the dough a bit more, but it was good and its now gone so it passed the cookie test! The Service Service was good and the food is made fast. The staff was very friendly, engaged in small talk, and made suggestions for new customers like myself.

I was disappointed, my mom paid so I had to pretend like it and eat it. I think the meat sits out all day and just gets reheated. The meat was old and tasted raw. The kind of taste when you bite into an undercooked burger and you get that smell of rotten flesh? Wasn't pleasant . The toppings were ok.. they have a salad bar but I don't think they tend to it for hours. Taste was bland , I asked my mom's how was her plate? The enchilada , she said it was so so. The only good thing here were the fries ... I don't think we will come back here again. I like my food fresh tasting . The price was not worth it for 1 enchilada and 1 torta. Over $30 bucks . Nah.. could have settled with a 7-11 hot dog drink and a bag of air (chips). The meat could have been fresh. The orders are fast. There were 3 guests after us, their food was prepared within a minute. The food is already laying outside just ready to be heated...huge pass. Clean place though . And ok friendly service.

When I told him the food was cold, the cashier, Irvin, immediately got defensive and told me with an attitude, 'I called the number twice.' I explained that we didn't hear it, and pointed out that staff had been bringing food out to everyone else anyway. Instead of offering a solution, he doubled down, saying, 'I heard my voice over the speakers,' giving me a 'too bad, so sad' look. When I asked him to remake the food, he completely refused, repeating that he'd called the number. Unwilling to argue with someone that unprofessional, I told him to keep the cold food and just give me a refund. He refunded the money and we left.

I also got a side of their spaghetti. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, while the spaghetti had the signature sweet Filipino-style sauce that many people love. The Ube pie was hot, crispy, but I feel that the Peach Mango pie tasted better. My order did take a long time to come out around 15 minutes. I had to ask 2 staff members what's going on and looks to me they had forgotten my order. But they did redeem themselves by putting my as priority. Overall good visit. Will be back here again soon.
