I can only give 2 stars unfortunately because, though service was pretty fast and very friendly, the food was just not up to par. I had the steak and chicken plate, and the chicken was on the dry side (even with extra waba sauce) and the steak tasted way worse, old and with an unpleasant aftertaste. As hungry as I was, I just couldn’t finish the meal. I’ve had this combo at this Waba before, so I know they can do better. I don’t think I’ll be going back to this Waba Grill in the future.

Always fast service and friendly staff. I usually get the steak and rice bowl or the chicken and rice bowl and visit once a week.

I ordered the grilled salmon brown rice veggie bowl with broccoli and carrots. A chocolate chip cookie and raspberry tea. Delicious food and the service was friendly and quick. Clean facility.

I really love the food at WaBa Grill. You can make healthy choices and it is very tasty. The staff was very courteous, if you dine in they are checking vaccination cards. The restaurant was very clean as well as the restrooms.

It's really good I guess I can say it comparable to yeshinoya to a some degree. That's in my opinion.

Only 2 ppl on staff on a Sunday afternoon.they did their best but that's not right! Work on the scheduling! It's not fair to load the work on 2 employees

Quick Fast and Healthy choices! Love the speed and great customer service. Always prepared fresh and real ingredients. Staff is always smiling and asking how my days going which shows it isn’t all about the money. Kids love to grab bowls to go.

No one in the place was wearing a mask properly; waited 15 min extra after the 15 min the app told me I would be waiting

When curbside pick up is offered, the order is placed, a time for pick up is provided, the parking space directly on front of the store is used, no signs are posted outside the restaurant as directed for pick up parking, and you wait, and wait as per direction, then you call and the phone goes unanswered. Only the cook and counter girl are in the store, other customers are inside. I go in, am treated as if I am a burden to the counter person, I guess it is my problem they are short st aza effed and cannot honor the method of pick up that they offer. I chose curbside because of mobility issues, I chose that location because they offer the service.
To not get the service is one thing, to be treated rudely is another.

Customer service is important.

Chicken veggie bowl is my go to order but veggies were kind of hard today but rice and chicken made up for it.

Steak Looks Like Burnt Rat Meat And Chicken Tastes Generic. The Rice Is The Only Thing I Could Eat.

Checked out Waba Grill for the first time since the pandemic. Always thought the food was slightly above average, never disappointed at all really. So today I popped in (April 12,2021). I noticed that they finally have indoor seating, limited to 20 guests at a time. The tables are spaced out a considerable distance. I decided on the sweet and spicy chicken bowl with veggies and white rice. Total after tax was $9.19. I guess that's fair, as the bowl is pretty decently sized.

On to the food: The chicken was really good. A great combination of sweet and heat (4/10 on the spicy scale. Anyone who likes spicy stuff should find it satisfying, though it's not super hot, which is a good thing). The veggies are steamed or blanched - can't tell. Either way, they're crispy while still being cooked. I liked them a lot.

All in all, come stop by if you're craving a decent rice bowl. Nice flavor, well put together, maybe a bit more expensive than it should be but not too bad! Recommended!

Great food, freshly prepared to order, large portions, really good service too. Ordered the Salmon plate. Fresh salmon grilled and served with white or brown rice, green salad and half an orange. Large portion of Salmon too. Had the leftovers on a green salad for lunch the next day. It's a must try for a delicious, healthy and reasonably priced meal.

I visit Waba regularly and I visited today and was extremely disappointed. The tofu tasted like raw chicken to the point I had to spit it out of my mouth and I am vegan. I do not have a car and this was one of the few places I could walk to that offers a vegan option. It is normally very good. To be fair I did not recognize the cook or cashier and I honestly do feel they may have been the issue.
