    WaBa Grill is a solid chain. This location is the most conveniently located to my work so I usually find myself stopping here when I'm craving something fast and healthier. Pros: the food always tastes fresh & is usually cooked to order. My favorite bite here is the Waba bowl (teriyaki chicken and beef) over rice. Add some dumplings with spicy sauce and I'm all set. Also the pricing is reasonable and under $15. The staff and friendliness are usually pretty good here. I'd say if I've been here 15 times only once was the service bad but that was on a weekend. I almost always come during lunch on a weekday and the gentlemen that are working are nice and effective. Quick to get out orders. Cons: anyone else feel judged for asking for extra sauce? lol. I wish they would just keep the sauce over the counter for customers to grab packets. And yes, I get there are annoying people out there that take too much but I'd like to think the general public are just taking what they need, like I do. Every time I go I always have to ask for extra and sometimes it seems to inconvenience the staff. Or they'll throw in one despite asking for two. Don't know what the deal with the sauce is but always seems like it's being rationed lol. I miss pre covid when you could just scoop your own sauce. Last con: at this location the parking is rough. At lunchtime it's usually pretty hard to find parking close to the shop or if you do find parking it's really snug! Sometimes I can't take a spot up front because it's just too tight. Nothing this restaurant can do about it but I note it because it does make it more challenging for customers to get in and out.

    Tasty food, quick service, and not all that expensive. I only have one complaint and it's the contents of the Waba sauce, I uploaded the picture shows the ingredients you don't have to go very far down the list before you see things that are very definitely not fit for human consumption. I would eat here all the time if it didn't occur to me that I was being poisoned, just a little bit, every time.

    WaBa Rice & Veggie Bowl (with white meat chicken)
    Andrew N.

    This is my favorite teriyaki bowl spot! I always appreciate the food and the service when visiting one and this spot continues that trend. The food is fresh and it's a great way to eat clean. I get the WaBa Bowl w/ veggies and brown rice and I get white meat chicken (which cost a little extra but is worth it). Make sure you get green onions and extra WaBa sauce to complete the meal. I definitely recommend checking this spot out.

    Before

    The food is so good! Amazing customer service and the store is very clean. It's a little expensive but was worth it Get the sweet and spicy rice bowl with boom boom sauce and you will have an amazing lunch !! Included is a before and after!!!

    First time eating here and it was terrible. $15 for a dried out small thin piece of salmon and some cheap rice. And the $10 chicken bowl was SO dry. Horrible quality meats. Will not be eating here again. Only gave it a 2 because the shrimp taco was ok.

    Tofu veggie bowl w brown rice, sauce on the side :)
    Sanaz S.

    I came here for a quick late lunch the other day for the first time (@ this location). The cashier was really helpful and friendly and entered my requests with ease (brown rice/tofu/veggie bowl sauce on the side). My food was ready very quickly and it was delicious! The tofu was cooked just right and the veggies were soft enough without being mush. I sat by the window & ate it there. Asked for a lid as I couldn't finish it and they were quick to give me one. This is a small Waba, as most of them are, and it was clean and well lit with plenty of natural light as well. The service was great and the food was excellent. Will definitely return to this location!

    Good food for the price. Cheaper than most fast food restaurants. Yummy wontons is also a great value. Note to the owner: masks are no longer required, so please take down your mask required sign.

    Rice bowl with salmon.
    Heather K.

    So, I don't get what the big deal is about this place. My lunch was the equivalent of a glorified rice bowl from Panda Express. I will say the salmon was flavorful, though. I walked in around 11, before the lunch "rush". And, the first thing I noticed was the music. I could hear their music from 1/2 way across the parking lot! Thankfully, I liked the radio station, but still. It was a tad much. There seemed to be confusion with who was taking my order. A shorter girl was there first, said "Hi" and welcomed me. But, as I began to ask just a few questions, another person kind of pushed her aside and they took my order, instead. It was just odd. I only asked a few clarifying questions about the protein, since today was my first visit. I decided on the Rice Bowl with Salmon. I don't know what I was expecting but this wasn't really it. As I said in the beginning, my meal was a larger Rice Bowl with 1 side from Panda. I was debating about going to Poke Land instead of here, but I wanted to try it to see what the hype was about. Sorry, I wasn't impressed in the least. I won't be back. EDIT: I don't care for getting grief of my reviews, so I edited somethings out to appease those who were burnt about it.

    Wrong Food / Rude Cashier
    Kohl B.

    I ordered a Chicken and Veggie bowl with all white meat and broccoli only. My receipt matches what I had asked for, but when I got home I noticed my order was wrong. The cashier was rude. Probably won't be going to this location again.

    #3 signature plate this is so delicious. It is filling without feeling guilty because it's healthy.

    Don't get me wrong, I love authentic Mexican food. I actively seek it out. But I also have a very…read morereal soft spot for Taco Bell. It's my favorite junk food and I'm not pretending otherwise. I'm honestly confused by some of the negative reviews. It's Taco Bell, not a Michelin-starred restaurant. If you're expecting fine dining, that's on you. I always opt out of online ordering because Taco Bell should be eaten hot. Obviously it's not "fresh" in that way, but there's nothing worse than cold Taco Bell. Eat it while it's hot and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. I also appreciate a good drive-thru, and Taco Bell nails that convenience. Before you leave, always check your order. It's that simple. Employees are human and mistakes happen. It's really not that deep, and it's an easy fix if you catch it on the spot. My order is simple and consistent: a bean and cheese burrito, a crunchy beef taco, and a diet coke. I still miss the chili cheese burrito and the ranch taco, gone but not forgotten. Taco Bell knows exactly what it is. If you're in the mood for nostalgic, no-frills comfort junk food, it delivers every time. Just manage your expectations and enjoy it for what it is.

    Taco Bell is always my go to favorite fast food spot, especially when I'm on a road trip. Passing…read morethrough Ventura, my friends and I came in here around 8pm for a quick bite. At this location, there's a good amount of seating and clean bathrooms. There are two kiosks here, making order super quick and easy. I got the value box with the chicken chalupa, doritos locos taco supreme, chicken nuggets, nacho fries, and a drink. It was about $10-15, but pretty good value for the amount of food you get. I split the meal with another person, and we were pretty full by the end of it. This location also has a drive through for another seamless ordering option.

They have a big parking lot (but it does get crowded and busy). I've learned to come off hours and it's always perfect for me. This location primarily has the screens that you order from on your own. However, for less savvy customers they will sometimes have one register open for those who want to place their order the old fashion way, with a live person. I used the screen today and it was super easy. Honestly faster than waiting in line to order with a staff member. Prices are reasonable in my opinion for the quality. I got a soda, burger and side for under $20. My food was made fresh to order and the food always hits - so for a chain I'm happy eating here every so often. Today I went for their special (because of the lent season) and ordered their Baja crispy fish sandwich. It was solid and a fun change from a burger. The fish batter was super crispy, which is a must! I also liked the slaw, chipotle sauce, and pickled onions. Only a slight bit of heat so pretty mild overall. Every time I come here, I have to order their tempura green beans, they are my favorite side and their ranch is really good here. Only bummer (I won't dock them a star) but on my visit today it looks like they got rid of their specialty Agua Fresca/juice station. I'm not a soda girl and sometimes I want variety outside of iced tea so I was bummed that they didn't have those good fruit drinks anymore... Oh well, just wanted to make a note of it. Maybe one day they'll bring it back. This habit is a solid location and the food is good. Even though it's a chain it's done well and I will definitely be coming back.
