WaBa Grill

"I came to this location a few weeks ago and there was a sweet young lady named Keily who had taken my order and took amazing care of me! Definitely made me feel welcomed and I really enjoyed the food as well. Her kind energy was very impactful and that spread of positivity is exactly what the world needs, I couldn’t help but leave with a smile. Thank you!"

"Wilted lettuce and the young lady got my order wrong."

"a decent price for relatively healthy fast food, everything tasted great! they didn't have enough staff to bring out our curbside order so after waiting a bit I had to go in myself- the staff of 2 was very kind and working hard to manage the line so don't hold it against them."

"I ordered the salmon white rice veggie bowl and a kids waba bowl. I asked for spicy waba sauce on the side and did NOT get it. The salmon was a little tough but it was seasoned well, the cabbage/carrots could have been cut more they're to big for the meal. The broccoli could have been cooked a little longer but other than that the combination itself is very good. I gave 3 stars because there wasn't anyone in there and they still managed to forget something in my order!!"

"Foodie Fozzy says "WaBa, WaBa, WaBa!!" Looking for another place to eat & review, a hot & humid Saturday had us stopping by the nearest newly opened WaBa Grill in Lakewood. Clean, modern-looking décor with ample table seating is what my eyes spied as I first walked in. Loved the refreshing full blast A/C to cool off on a sweltering day. Perusing the options, I knew I would get a plate. Steak plate- Well-done strips of beef w/WaBa sauce, salad, choice of white or brown rice & an orange for dessert. A hearty & healthy meal, the WaBa sauce wasn't cloyingly sweet. While I much prefer it rare to medium-rare, the beef was good. I loved the fact that brown rice is available at no additional charge. The salad provided the greens & roughage, while the tart orange gave a nice ending to my non-fried meal. A condiment bar let's diners load up on Waba sauce (teriyaki & hot), green onions, pickled carrots & jalapenos, and lemon slices. Being an onion lover, I availed myself of a heaping helping of green onions, of which I basically used to make a green onion salad on top of my steak plate. Good for you & crunchy to boot! Other menu options include salmon, shrimp & tofu. The sole unisex restroom was clean & tidy. Service was good. The cashier was friendly & seemed to be happy to be working there, which is refreshing. Attitude is everything! Parking is in a private lot shared by a bank, United Boardshop, Glory Days Sports Bar & other businesses. WaBa Grill offers up healthy & tasty meals in a pleasant environment. While not taking the crown from my beloved Yoshinoya, what WaBa has going for it is that brown rice is available at no additional charge, minimal wait & the food was filling & satisfying. I enjoyed my meal while listening to Train, LifeHouse & the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the house speakers. We received coupons for a free chicken bowl with purchase of a plate & free fountain drink with purchase of a bowl/plate. I'll definitely stop by soon to redeem them whenever my tastebuds scream "WaBa, WaBa", again. Highly recommend! NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM"
