Waba Grill

I am so appalled at my visit. The female worker by the name of Hope, is such a bitch. I HOPE you get fired! Her attitude, tone of voice, and way she was smacking her gum in my face was incredibly rude and insulting. She was acting like my boyfriend and I were showing up 5 minutes before they were closing. But it was 4 in the afternoon. I will not be returning to this location!

This place is pretty good I’ve been here a couple of times and got a chicken veggie bowl but I have to say this time I was very disappointed I called in and order a beef veggie bowl with no rice and extra veggies. I guess extra veggies means fill the bowl up with cabbage and nothing else there was literally 3 pieces of broccoli and 3 pieces of Carrots in the whole bowl so I guess I should be more specific next time and ask for extra broccoli and carrots other than that it’s a good place to eat

I called to place an order to pick up and he put me on hold. I was probably waiting for a good 10 minutes and he clearly forgot about me. So I hung up. I have been trying to call back for the past 10 minutes and no one is answering. I love their food but hate their crappy customer service.

I’ve been to so many Waba Grills, this one gives you soo much rice than your choice of meat. So much for a healthier lifestyle when all they wanna serve you is rice and skimp out on the meat.

Freshly prepared, good brown rice, staff is friendly. What can I say… Waba is a much healthier alternative to Panda.

Ridiculously delicious. Always a must go to when I am in the area. Best waba grill out of the bunch. I recommend the chicken bowl with avocado. Delicious.

I always got the combo and the last two times I got it the beef was chopped so fine it looked like ground beef, and it was over seasoned. It didn’t even come close to their pictures. And no seasoning on the little salad and thew veges were dry and like rubber. Not sure about the location on Ynez but too far.

Food is great, always getting a lot more with what you pay for. I’ve had the steak, chicken and salmon and they always taste fresh. Be sure to call ahead to expedite the service. They always seem to have great promos with the circulars we receive in the mail.

Food is so good. They have kid bowls, veggie, chicken and steak combos. My favorite is the rib plate.

Good food. Price is a bit high. Nice spot with fast service. Owner is great and always greets with smile. The combo bowl with brown rice is awesome.

This place got introduced to me by a coworker when she brought food to work. Oh boy, oh boy, the meat itself with the sweet sauce instantly gave me food-​gasm! It was that good! I ask here every now and then to get me this good food as she is close to the place and bring it to work. I happened to be in the area in Temecula after a running event and thought to visit the establishment for myself. The menu is on the heathy side which is good for me since I needed some depleted energy back. Got myself half-​half and salmon with brown rice and veggies… So good! Got another order to go for breakfast the next day at work. Will definitely come back here again in the future when I’m in the area again!

You can order by phone and pick up when you are ready! great healthy, quick dinner or lunch meal. Cooked fresh and you can see them make it as you wait! I recommend using the Waba sauces on the side with some green onions! My go to place!

I absolutely can NOT believe it the customer service that Erin gave my daughter and I. She was rude and looked at my daughter like she was crazy. Very awkward. The employees just stared at me awkwardly in the kitchen. One of the gentleman with short blonde hair had his earphones in his ear. Is that allowed or professional at all? I don’t think so. I love Waba Grills food, but this location was terrible. I’d much rather drive to the location off of Clinton Keith. They actually care about my order and greet me with a smile. I’m currently still sitting in here waiting on my order which is taking awhile more specifically because they are talking instead of working and the gentleman with the blonde hair has to turn down his music in his earphones

WaBa is ok. The place is pretty clean and customer service is great. It claims to be healthy, but that is all dependent upon what you order. The rice bowls come with lots of rice which is good, but high in carbs if you wanna be real. This place reminds me of Flame Broiler. The sauce and hot sauce really make the meal. Get green onions on top for more flavor! I like how there are options other that chicken and steak as well.

Place is alright. Some days good. Some days bad. I always get the steak bowl with avocado and I really enjoy it. I’ve been here maybe 5 times, one of the times I came by and tried to order my steak bowl and they were out of steak. Really? I used to work at in n out and if we every ran out of meat the manager would have been fired.
I am here now and ordered a drink with my meal, of course they ran out of iced tea and when I asked if they were going to make more they said no because it is an hour before closing. Again really? We used to run out of iced tea at in n out 5 minutes before closing. If someone ordered tea we would brew it fresh for them. How much could it really cost to brew some tea? Come on.
I won’t say I will never be back but I definitely know what to expect from this location from now on.

This was my first visit. Without a group on I prefer Shoguns. Don’t get your bowl with veggies, cabbage was super raw. Make sure you put extra sauce on your food if its to go. Thank goodness I had teriyaki sauce at home.
Salmon bowl was decent. Miso soup had no tofu?!

Watch out for hairs in your food will never go back again!!! When I brought it to there attention one of the employes laughed in the back… It’s really funny asshole!

This is probably the worst tasting food on Temecula Pkwy. I wasn’t expecting much being that it is Asian «fast food», but I couldn’t be more upset with the $ 31 I spent here.
Upon entering Waba grill, I was hit with a strong cleanser/​ammonia smell. That alone made me think, how can this not affect the taste of the food. Then, the cashier asked for my order, and they asked if I wanted avocado or onions. I declined the avocado, but said yes to the onion. Thinking that I would have to wait at least 5 – 10 min, I got all the condiments ready to go. Well in 3 min, my order was ready and I was surprised with the quick service, but shocked that they tried to fit 2 plate boxes and two bowl in one single shopping bag. Luckily I had my daughter to keep the bowls from tipping over.
I got home and opened my box and was shocked at how dried out and brown the meat was. I was expecting a fruit salad, but got an orange. I was expecting onions, but only saw green onions– huge difference! Someone needs to notify that cashier. I tasted it and it tasted like beef jerky and overly seasoned. My husband opened his half and half bowl and was surprised to find ¾ inch of meat and almost 3 inches of rice packed in. It was so hard to eat the rice because it was almost like glue or cement.
If I had to compare Waba to Flame Broiler, I can’t– there is no comparison. Flame broiler is 100 times better.
So in conclusion, their sign said it was fresh– not! For meat to cook in 3 min, I’ve only seen that done in the microwave. They say that it is healthy– not! The seasoning alone was probably as much sugar as 2 sodas. On a good note, the Orange was sweet.
Safe to say, we’ll never be back. And such a shame, because I was waiting for a healthy alternative on Temecula Pkwy.

Had lunch here today and I really enjoyed it. The staff was attentive and nice. The selections of meat were: chicken, beef, and salmon. (Healthy and fresh like flame broiler.) Personally, I like having the option of salmon and their hot sauce tastes more like Sriracha than Tabasco, which I’m not a fan of. Husband got the chicken bowl and I got the salmon plate and a drink and the total came out to $ 17.81. Not bad for lunch!
The only issue I had was that the dinning area is always packed! They really need to consider putting tables and chairs out in front for more seating since inside seating is cramped enough as it is.
Added plus is that it’s next door to golden spoon in case you are craving something sweet after your meal.

Came in around closing time on a Thursday evening and the staff let me put in my order. The employee recommended the chicken steak plate ($ 8), which has marinated chicken and beef over rice with a side salad and fruit.
I liked how simple, clean tasting, and flavorful the meat was. The portion sizes were just enough to fill me up, but not enough to split into two separate meals.
Overall, good experience.
