WaBa Grill Placentia Reviews
Quick healthy food with outstanding quality of meats for rice dishes or full plates menu. They're beef bowl is prepared with huge chunks of rib eye. Yum !
Nora was super friendly!!! Will come back soon for the amazing food
It's Waba, you either love it or you don't.
Just great seafood. Lots of fresh catch, excellent staff and nice overwater dining if you are lucky and get one of those tables.
Decided to get a quick bit to eat. Order A special that had advertised And things started to go downhill. But to my surprise the woman at the register was able to handle it and get taken care of beyond my satisfaction. Thank you for the great service.
I work right around the corner and I come very often for lunch the past 4 years and I have never had a bad experience here with the food or the workers it's a nice spot to have a relaxing lunch no matter the time of day
The food was amazing and I loved the fresh avocados. Great customer service and awesome staff.

PLEASE ADD MORE WATER WHEN MAKING THE RICE! I really like WABA GRILL. But at this location, the portions are really small, and the rice is always hard. Most of the staff is polite though.

The portions are very small. The chicken is pretty good but the beef is really soft and it’s really salty. They don’t offer jelopenos and carrots anymore. It’s too expensive for what you get. Used to be a great location years ago.
If I could give this a 0 for atmosphere I would! I came into this place the other night not having been there for months and the place smells like sewage! I distinctly remember that from the last time I went in there and it's so strong and disgusting smelling it makes you not even want to eat there. Needless to say that's the last time I'm going to order from that place. I'm not sure why they can't fix that odor problem.

Overpriced, low quality trash. Rude service. Smelled bad inside.
The quality has really diminished here. More rice, less veggies, and less meat. Nice and friendly help. Floors, tables, and windows were all grungy.
I get my 3 orders today 8/31/23 with black long hair in one chicken bowl, food coming cold, not extra Waba sauce even it was requested!! Horrible!! I want all my money back!!!
If you like poor customer service. I waited 10min when there was no line and the cashier wasn't anywhere to be seen. The cook was sick and I'm pretty sure sneezed in my food and still looked me in the face a served it to me. I love waba grill and am devastated at the extremely poor quality provided to me 😢
Very tight with the sauce. Will reluctantly give you extra sauce packets if you ask. Not sure if she is owner or manager but she has really bad attitude. The two girls who work the register are very nice!
Very unsafe place , I only saw one person has gloves on ,matter of fact only one glove and he is the cook. Others handling food without gloves and when I mentioned to the employee she said she doesn't have to . Seriously when handling food you must to have gloves on . Need to report to health safety .
I came on Saturday night 8/7/2021 my server was Aina M and they forgot to do my order , I ask why took so long and the excuse was shrimp takes longer to cook ! Could it be honest and said they left my order behind !!it took more than half an hour to be ready and it was slow !!
Will not be going back. Ordered chicken and beef plate as well as the Salmon bowl. All the rice was crunchy and hard. My chicken had not just one but quite a few hairs in it. When I looked in the kitchen, the cooks were not properly robed for the job. (No hair nets,hats etc.) The beef tastes like they got a bag of beef jerky from Ralph's and warmed it up in their "Saba sauce". The Saba sauce is just a VERY salty- sweet syrup. They have Pepsi products here. (I personally don't like Pepsi but it's not a 1 star rating thing) The salmon came out and had the texture of chicken. Overcooked and swimming in Waba sauce. All we tasted was salt. Be aware of this establishment. I will not be going back and WOULD NOT recommend to my friends. Hope they can fix their problems sooner than later.
Please do not order here. I am on a diet so I thought I would pass on the pizza joint next door called Peps Pepperonis, but I ended up cheating on my diet. The kids pizza was far more tasteful and delicious than the soggy flavorless rice accompanied by an infants portion of meat. I paid $25 for the worst meal of life. I want my money back.
Never coming to this location. Stingy with the sauce and stingy with the food. Go to the location in state college and chapman.
Wost service ever. They refused ANY sauce packets.
Overpriced, low quality trash. Rude service. Smelled bad inside.
