WaBa Grill

Great experience at the Simi Valley Waba Grill! Tomas was a great hostess! Great food and good service.

The service is excellent and the food delicious. You can feel the quality of the food. Highly recommended with affordable prices.

Everyone complaining must be having fast food withdrawals. It’s healthy rice bowls… they can’t give you a pound of rice and still call it healthy. Americans are way too used to huge portions. These are the proper size

I LOVE Waba! I have a lot of weird health struggles and Waba has such wonderful food that works with what I need and tastes amazing! Their sauce is delicious and I could use it on everything. Their service is fast and the kitchen is visible from the main seating area so you can see them making the food. Which I love. I crave Waba all the time.

Michael is the best thank you for the great customer service you made my day! Service is always quick, food is great, and you always manage to put a smile on my face. Thank you!

I eat lunch here every so often. It gets pricey for me because I only really like the shrimp bowl which is ok by me. Service has always been friendly and the food taste great.

I had an Amazing delivery experience with WABA Grill. Not only was the online ordering process easy, and quick, but the delivery was pretty much on time (about 30 minutes late). Also, their plates are all very fairly priced Amazing, and HUGE!!! It was 2 FULL meals for me, but for light eaters, could easily be 3. Moving on, I have only ONE complaint, but that's ONLY for GRUBHUT, NOT WABA Grill. They said because they were late by about 30 minutes, that they would include something extra for free. Suffice to say, I didn't receive Anything Extra. So anyways, about WABA Grill, the one I'm reviewing. I called to ask for extra (teriyaki?) sauce, as their plates and bowls were Amazingly good, but they were just a bit too dry. The person I spoke with was extremely nice, and very helpful. So what did they do? They didn't send 2-3 packets, or even a handful, but about 25-30 packs of it!!! To me, that was going above and beyond, for sure. Things like that make a Huge impact, to me, and just that will make me remember them over any other teriyaki restaurant. I still have sauce packets left, the flavor is amazing and could be used on any chicken, beef, or pork bowls, even. I RARELY ever write reviews, and almost NEVER this long. I hope this helps WABA Grill, even if just a bit, and hope it helps you decide to eat there. You won't be sorry!

Portions were smaller compared to Yaki Bowl and prices higher. Yaki, $12, big white foam box packed, with pineapples and potato salad. Waba, small black bowl filled, $13. Food is good, I just ate, still hungry

Good for a quick healthy meal as long as I can stay away from the waba sauce

Personally I didn’t love the food due to the sweetness of the meats and the Waba sauce but I know that wouldn’t be an issue for most people. Food came out very quickly from when we ordered.

I've been a devout fan of Waba Grill for years, even more so after the debut of Boom Boom Tacos. After having so many positive experiences at the Van Nuys & Santa Clarita locations, I'd stopped by the Simi Valley restaurant for lunch. On two occasions, the shrimp in the tacos I ordered maintained their Tails, and when I asked the Mgr if this was normal I was quickly met with "Yes" but before they could turn away I asked if they themselves eat shrimp tacos with the shrimp Tails attached, to which they also replied in the affirmative 😒 I understand making mistakes or being caught in a pickle [read: lie], but own up to it, we guests are neither idiots nor do our stomachs possess the enzymes necessary to digest chitin 🦐 I really like Waba Grill but I'm never returning to this one.

One size fit for a child? Really? I'm a grown man and want a decent sized plate. Never again

worst experience of my LIFE. got a coupon in the mail 2 plates 2 drinks $14.99. thought i would give it a try and take my wife here on a date. first impressions were every table was empty and filthy dirty. no one cared about the cleanliness of this place. cashier appeared high or drunk and no uniforms were being worn , also not so clean looking. teriyaki station looked horribly dirty. sticky floors. food was dry and salad had some clear sauce that did not taste edible whatsoever. containers were filthy. was unable to sit and eat due to dirtiness. understaffed and the vibes i felt from the workers here were as if they didnt give a care about their jobs. its sad because i had such high hopes for this place but from the looks of the place it wont be around much longer. commercials are misleading. if you come here wanting to try something new, DONT. just stick with good ol panda. they wont let you down like this place. also the good reviews on here are probably from people who work here.

1st time order and last time to order. We ordered plates and bowls, one was the Salmon plate with the salad substitution for 3 fried potstickers. The fruit was an orange, it was juicy and delicious. The Salmon was overcooked the new potstickers we're good, missing sauce and the rice was ok but it would have been better with more Waba sauce. The bowls with meat, veggies & rice, were dry, the veggies were raw, not sauteed at all and dry. The meat(s) were marinated? But in the bowls they were dry. No option again was give for extra sauce on your web ordering nor a chance to ask for it in notes. Needless to say most of 1 bowl was trashed. My husband said the saving grace that helped his plate was the we had soy sauce in the fridge to add to his plate. Well needless to say. I'm deleting my Waba account and won't be ordering again. Sorry you are a overpriced excuse for Yoshinoya. They at least offer extra sauce and the veggies are cooked.

Do not order through the WaBa app for this location in Simi Valley. I waited an hour and 20 minutes only to have our delivery order cancelled. When I called the storefront directly, the manager in charge sounded clueless to what was going on and blamed the delivery system. His solution was for me to come in and pay full price. Full price works for me if you don’t make me wait an hour plus and then cancel my order. Won’t be ordering from here again.

Ordered the Asian Salad from WaBa Grill this evening. All I can say is don’t do it. Lettuce and more lettuce, 4 pieces of carrot, 6 half slices of cucumber, a few beans, 5 small prawns and soggy tortilla strips. For $13 this was a rip off. Don’t get me wrong I am happy to pay $13 for a proper Asian salad. The salad I got should not be called that.
