Great First Experience at WaBa Grill!
My first time trying WaBa Grill via DoorDash was a positive experience! The food looked exactly like the pictures on the website, and the ingredients were fresh and cooked well. I particularly appreciated that the food wasn’t overly salty.
I will definitely be back!

Mixed Experience with Chicken Bowl
My experience at the restaurant involved ordering the chicken bowl. While the chicken and white rice were tasty enough on their own, I was surprised that the teriyaki sauce came in packets, requiring three to four to achieve a desirable flavor. I also requested veggies with my order but did not receive them, though I was not charged for them.
The atmosphere and service were rated a 4 out of 5, and the food also received a 4. Parking was described as somewhat difficult to find.

Great Service and Reasonable Prices
My experience at this restaurant was excellent, largely due to the great attitude and excellent customer service provided by team member Jhoanna. The food was good, and I will definitely recommend this place. The prices are very reasonable.

Disappointing Service and Unpleasant Restroom
I had a very disappointing experience at Waba Grill. I asked in English if I could buy a large cup of ice, and I never once asked for it for free. The staff refused and responded in Spanish, saying: “We who work here have to pay for our things, so why should we give something to you?
” They clearly assumed I didn’t understand Spanish, which made the situation even more disrespectful. On top of that, the restroom was extremely unpleasant. Instead of being a clean bathroom, it felt more like a “meditation center, ” with four incense sticks burning at once.
The smell was overwhelming and suffocating — instead of covering bad odors, it seemed like they were performing some kind of ritual to sanctify the restroom. Between the poor customer service and the intolerable bathroom experience, I would not recommend this location.

Good food, but dirty tables
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The service was good, and the food was also good. However, the restaurant was busy, and every available table was dirty, which detracted from the overall experience.
