Since I've made the account I've been trying to remember to check in at places I'm visiting to but never really remember. Anyway - I've stopped at this location a few times when I'm passing through on business and I usually stick to the same order every time any WaBa Grill I visit. For some reason the white meat chicken at this location is always on the dry side. I've been to the one off crossroads on the 60 and the other one in Corona off the 15 and never have this issue. The cashier also denied me discount when the other day I got one. Seems odd but depending whose working the register and their mood they can either find that magic button or not - guess he didn't like me ha. Could've used that 10% though :P read more

Watched this place get built from the ground up. Healthy is bringing me back here. No skin on chicken, no oil,no MSG you get the picture. They serve up everything from chicken to salmon with or without the steam veggies and can sub white for brown rice. No grease to contend with just all flavor. No sides like the macaroni from B-Mans, but they do have kimchi available as a condiment. My favorite is a toss up between the chicken and steak both are really good and this is why I just get both with veggies. The salmon is pretty good,but really not enough of a serving to fill you up. Just opened,so bring your coupons. Definitely will be a regular here. read more

It's kind of expensive here. BUT I really like it because I live far from Teriyaki Bowl now lol and this provides a healthy option for me :) Not much to say, it's like a typical teriyaki joint. I got the Chicken Bowl and it was average - in a good way. And damn this place is CROWDED at lunch, but they manage to churn orders out really quickly still. Props! I will probably be coming back here whenever I want to get my teriyaki fix. read more

I like WaBa Grill. But this location... eh. The service here is pretty lousy. Some cashiers are nice, while others have this "when does my shift end" mentality. I seem to run in to the latter more often. I also feel like the customers aren't the priority here. They have to get one thing done before helping the customer. It kind of sucks, especially when people have lunch breaks and can't afford any wasted time. The location is rather dirty as well. Spilled soda, lids, and condiments EVERYWHERE. Disgusting. However, other than that, I like the food at WaBa Grill. I always get a chicken bowl with white rice. Chicken is cooked and shredded perfectly and the teriyaki isn't overly sweet. I also like how they stress the healthy benefits that come with cooking their food. I mean, I personally don't come here because it's healthy (let's be real). I come cause their teriyaki chicken is good. And let's not forget the extra green onions and the jalapeños/carrots escabeche. They make the teriyaki chicken bowls a million times better. 2 stars for the food. This location has a lot to fix. I mean, Flame Broiler isn't that far... read more

Nothing too special, but definitely better than Yoshinoya. I had a half & half bowl of chicken (dark meat) and steak yesterday, and it was very filling. I think I could almost split it into 2 light meals if I really wanted to, which would save me both money and calories! I personally liked the steak better; some pieces of chicken were a little on the dry side. Bowls are about $5-6 so it's a pretty good deal. They claim to not cook in oil and be low in calories, among other healthy things, so you feel a little better about what you're eating. Hopefully it's all true, because this could be a very quick and healthy lunch on the go. read more

I'm typically a huge fan of Waba grill, because it's light, inexpensive and fast. When initially looking for a nearby Waba while I was in the area, two locations popped up, this one and another one 2 miles away. This location was closer but had subpar Yelp reviews, but I figured they're both Waba, what could be wrong! HUGGEE MISTAKE! We get there right when they opened and placed our order. I tried to order a combo bowl but they stated that the steak would not be ready for another 15 minutes. They just opened! How could it not be ready it's not like they ran out, I was the first in line. They should consider having readily available items prior to opening! So I ended up ordering a chicken veggie bowl. The veggies in bowl ended up being cold, not room temperature cold, but like out the refrigerator cold. Really disappointed in this location, but that's to be expected with franchises. I would avoid this location and spend the extra money driving down the road. read more

Customer service was horrible. Right when I walked in, I was not greeted and it took a couple minutes for one of them to even notice I was there. Mariela C. was the one that helped me both times(I'll explain in further detail), she looked like she was miserable working there. She gave no smile, no conversation and no thank you. As I started eating my salmon bowl that I asked for avocado on the side but they put it in my bowl, i began to taste something sour which was very unpleasant that i went back to Waba to get my money back. As I went back Mariela C. was the one to help me again. But as I was waiting for my turn, everyone noticed I had the bag in my head that has my bowl in it. I began to notice a lot of eye rolling and backs turned to me. Mariela didn't even call me over since I was next in line, she made eye contact with another customer and called him over. Completely ignoring my presence. Once I walked up to her and told her what was wrong with my bowl, there was no apology, didn't offer to make another bowl for me. She just threw it away right as I gave it to her and she just gave me my receipt with no eye contact or thank you. Will not be coming back. read more

So disappointing. Went to a Waba grill across town for the first time the night before and it didn't disappoint because they pack the bowl. This one however is so stingy. The bowl was so light and didn't have much rice or chicken. The shrimp bowl is such a sad bowl, do not get it, it is not worth the price to be paying for. Shrimp had no flavor, had to add more sauce to have flavor. Service was weird and awkward. It just seem like they wanted to take your order so you can get out their face. It wasn't even busy either don't know why this person was in such a rush for me to get out the way. Will not be coming back to this Waba. read more

we stopped in around 8pm on a Saturday night. the cashier allowed us to peruse the menu and stated someone would be with us. the girl at the stove came over greeted us and took our order. then the cashier came back to take our cash. why it took two people to take one order is beyond me. i ordered the steak bowl. the meat was dry and the rice was hard and dry. the whole thing had to be drowned in sauce. not my favorite waba grill and probably won't be back. read more

See all

Good service and friendly staff here , they re many options menu and my favorite dish is Salmon plates

Visited this location today the food was great the only thing is that their debit card was not working and they didn't tell me ahead of time when I placed a phone order. read more

Eh... Waba is only good in my opinion when they aren't drenching your food in their marinade like crazy & even then, I do not like their hot sauces. Normally I simply ask for no sauce on top & put my own hot sauce on it so it's no big... But that only works when an employee is attentive. When I asked the girl working tonight for no sauce on top she immediately responded "It's already marinated" in an annoyed tone... So I clarified saying "I know that" obviously "I mean no extra sauce on top". Wouldn't have even bothered me all that much had she chosen to put in my order that way, but she clearly did not as my food came out drenched in their magic sauce... I can't stand that Waba attempts to keep this "healthy" image but dumps extra sugary syrup on top of your food as if that's not an issue.... So lame... read more

Love this place! The service is always pretty fast, the staff is always friendly.. even when they tell you that they no longer have sriracha!! That's right.. apparently Waba is no longer carrying sriracha at their locations and instead serving their own version of the garlic rooster sauce.. except their version honestly is not all that great. Sorry Waba, just doesnt cut it. The texture is a bit more watery and you really taste a sweetness. Not sure what it is but.. it's not cute. Luckily I have my lil keychain sriracha bottle (google it), and you guys cook your veggies to almost the tperfect consistency - so I'll be coming back for sure! read more

Great customer service & very clean store! This location is always my go to :) The employees always greet you with a bright smile & are very attentive to the customer. The food is also prepared and ready in a timely manner. read more

This is a very good place for people who wants diet. I always get their Chicken bowl white meat with brown rice, no sauce, + half avocado. I got their weekend special today 4 chicken bowls for ONLY $20, it saved me around $6. Food always tastes good and employees are always friendly! read more

I only have three stars because it's inconsistent. When the older Hispanic guy is cooking and cutting the chicken it is very good. There are other times however my chicken has been in mostly strands and looks like it wasn't prepared with much care. read more

I came Sunday night for lunch & it was such a pleasant experience. I was greeted soon as I walked in by two young lady's smiles and everything. I was helped by Im assuming she's a new cashier can't remember her name but she did an amazing job, repeated my order & there was a slight mistake on my rice, not a big deal. Food was amazing as always. Veggies were well warmed, the chicken was juicy. A+ on your fooD quality!!!!! Although I was disgusted on how rude people can bE when noticing there is new employee's. I witnessed and older lady get mad over her own wrongful order. Her crazing yelling & shade towards the new girl, I'm amazed on how these ladys kept their calm and apologized. These lady's deserve a pat in the back, because if that was me I would've gone bananas hahaha Good job lady's ! read more

Great healthy delicious food! Good friendly service. Good music. Plenty of casual seating

My wife ordered white meat chicken and steak for to go. when she got home it was only white meat chicken. I tried calling the store for 30 min but no answer. This is first time trying waba grill. I used to go to Flame Broiler. I guess i need to stick with Flame Broiler. read more

Came in today to grab a healthy lunch super busy, was greeted as soon as I walked in and again when it was my turn to get my order taken. Food was delicious, I tried the plantspired veggie bowl & tastes just like steak. Cashiers are friendly and nice awesome customer service. Will keep coming read more

This place was pretty happening on a Friday noon. There was a constant stream of customers coming in but there was never a long wait since food comes out pretty fast. Most were probably workers nearby but I personally think Waba is little pricey for an every day thing, being a chain and all. I got the chicken&steak plate and a drink for around $11. Food was good! I asked them to hold the sauce which was the right thing to do because it was still flavorful without it. They have a condiments area with teriyaki sauce and hot sauce so I got mine on the side. The steak pieces, which were grilled nicely and tender, needed the hot sauce because it was a tad too sweet. The chicken however was seasoned and charred perfectly, it beats out Flame broiler's and Yoshinoya's for sure. I had wanted to get the salmon but my daughter likes her chicken and rice so I had to share that with her. Next time when I'm near a location I will definitely order it since it looks so succulent! read more

I've only tried the chicken bowl and I really like it. The regular chicken bowl is about $6, if you want extra chicken it'll be about $8.80. I think it's worth to get the extra meat if you will be having a busy day. I usually get the extra chicken when I know I won't have time to get buy food off campus between classes. The whole bowl keeps me from going hungry throughout the day. It's's plenty of food if you plan on sharing with another person. I'm not a fan of places that charge extra for brown rice so I've never tried it here, I believe they charge $1 extra. I like how you can get as much onions, teriyaki sauce, hot sauce and sesame seeds as you please. The location is always clean, the staff is pleasant and there is plenty of parking. read more

WaBa Grill - Chicken and Beef combo bowl with shrimp skewers. Very tasty and healthy! ;-) - Asian Fusion Near Me - West Covina, California

This was my first time here and I had the steak bowl with brown rice and vegetables. My steak was was burnt and charred. I hated it so much I didn't finish it. The vegetables were overcooked, soft, and mushy. I also ordered miso soup and it tasted so bland. What I disliked the most was the girl working the front was so nice, I wish the food could have matched her excellent customer service. I have reservations about a possible second attempt, but I'm all for second chances. Just don't get the steak bowl, and if you do; ask for "medium rare" maybe then it will be semi-burnt. read more

UPDATE............. The response I received is like every other response On here!! How are we supposed to feel like our feedback is really valuable to you guys and your really gonna work on improving everything by sending everyone a computer generated response?? The private message I got was nothing like this!..............,,,, Wow!! Never come here unless you wanna be charged for friggin veggies on your bowl!! They don't even tell you that your bowl doesn't include veggies when your ordering! I had to come all the way back and ask them where the veggies are and that's when she informs me that I have to ASK for them!! Wth??? I said when you order a bowl, the customer assumes it comes with veggies cuz that's the way they all come everywhere else! She said no you have to ask for them so then I said how the heck do I know to ask for them when we're already expecting them to be included?? Their employees should OFFER THEM OR AT LEAST INFORM THE CUSTOMER THAT THE VEGGIES AREN'T INCLUDED!! So she adds the veggies to my bowl and charged me a full price side order instead of the $1 it usually is had the cashier offered them to me in the first place!! That wasn't Right to do that to a customer read more

whats that? waba grill is right next to my house? WEST COVINA IS COMING UP! finally. there is one of these by frank and sons collectibles and when i tried it, i loved it. i had it when i was hungover and it felt so good to not eat a burrito or hamburger. this place is in west covina right in the eastland center and they are so fast! i went today at like peak lunch time around noon time and my order was ready in 5 minutes. they are so fast. and the food is well prepared as well. you can watch them cook the food right in front of you. the chicken and steak is super delicious with veggies. i reccommend getting extra teriyaki sacuse and their waba hot sauce. it blends really well for a sweet and spicy flavor, especially with their chicken. and the steak is super good too, very tender and cut up small with zero fat. its cheap and the staff is pretty nice. ive been going about once a week since they opened and i dont have any complaints yet. even for new hires they are quick, nice, and responsive to guests needs. i love waba. i feel healthy eating it, even though i smother it in all kinds of sauces and drink it with a soda. HEY AT LEAST IM TRYING! its a new place so sometimes it can be a tad bit messy or the portion cups for sauce mightbe empty but if you ask them they can refill and clean your table in a heartbeat. read more

OKay, this place is now a staple in my diet. I eat here twice a week on average. It's fast food without the fast food hangover. This place is a good amount of food for the money too. I like to eat healthy to maintain my physique and this place helps to facilitate that goal. The value here is off the charts. The employees are just your typical teenage girls working the front desk but that doesn't really matter too much. They just punch the register buttons and take your money. This place gets my stamp of approval though. read more

This WaBa Grill location was easy to find with plenty of parking spots. The staff, total of two employees were working hard. One of them grilling in the back in the front of the hot fire, the other one taking orders, manning the cash register. The service was ok, there was no greeting when I entered the restaurant. No up selling or suggesting the side veggies which is important otherwise it's just blend food, however healthy they say it is. There were debris on the carpet. The paper towel bin in the bathroom was empty. Would I visit again? No. But you should give it a try. Don't just take my word for it. read more

I've been coming to this WaBa grill ever since I can remember. All the employees are all very kind and patient. The food always comes out fast and delicious.

This is my first time coming here. I was on my way to Ikea and I saw Waba's banner of their specials, so I returned to this restaurant after shopping. I was surprised by their fast and nice service. I ordered two chicken bowls for only $10.98!!! They have very good food quality and taste. This is a great price for such tasty dish. I will definitely come back. read more

Staff are polite and professional. However, the drinking fountain is still accessible to the public. I just saw a customer drink from her cup, refilled it and drank from it again. Then, dumped it and filled it up and drank from it again. This is disgusting and unacceptable. Told the staff and she immediately cleaned it. THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN SHOULD NOT BE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC. read more

Never had a problem or issue coming here today my cashier was very friendly and made sure she gave me the discount for their Wednesday Saturday deal but one time another cashier didn't not say hello welcome or how are u which I found weird strange and unwelcoming read more

The workers were very discourteous to me on my visit. I made an online order came in on time and they hadn't started it despite it already being paid for and not having other orders at the time. The cashier read my receipt wrong so my order was made incorrectly. I ordered a family special and a single chicken bowl. When the other lady hands my food I check it and let her know it's incorrect. They get upset at me as if it's my fault even though I'm remaining patient? Then they have trouble finding my order and I offer them my receipt and they disregard that and make me wait even longer. Finally they retrieve it and correct my order but of course when handed my food the worker still was rude. read more
