I need my refund. I had hair in my food chicken was cold and pink unsanitary. Place needs to be evaluated for health standers. Salad was old and yellow. I had tho throw $15 in some change.

I live here in Highland and Ive been to this place only twice, because the first time it was horrible!!! I decided to give it a second try today, but yes, once again it was horrible!! I asked for the chicken extra well done and the dumplings also extra well done, but these people are RE-T-A-R-D-E-D or just dont care. They are lazy and can tell they hate being there. Also the asian lady fixing her hair in the kitchen, disgusting!!!! The fridge no drinks and almost empty... They have sooo many bad reviews, but I guess they dont care!!!* I always go to the one in Fontana, and I guess I will continue to go, because they have excellent customer service and the food is really good.

Came in for a Waba Bowl yesterday and when I arrived home there was hardly any meat in the bowl it was mostly all rice I’ve never been to any other Waba grill and had this happen was severely disappointed because I purchased 2 bowls and basically paid $23 for 2 bowls of white rice. Very disappointed will not ever return

Yesterday...Bought 2 chicken bowls with brown rice and veggies;2 chicken bowls with white rice and veggies. The chicken had a raw smell and everything in the bowl tasted like salmon. The entire family was disappointed.

The food was cold. I dont understand how that happens... truly diassapointed. Also, I had to throw away the dried out, beef jerky tasting meat that they served me. 😡

Store looks pretty rundown! Not like any other Waba it needs an update! Even the cook is running the cashier!

I have been here several times because Im working in the area and every time I come its a terrible experience. This time was the worst i asked for jalapenos and they were bad. They were oozing gelatin i dont know how to describe it. Obviously were expired. The toilets flusher was not working. No toilet paper. Their rice portions were very rationed and they never changed there jalapeno portions from those little cups in my last review. Their fountain drink machine was spraying water all over. Oh they didnt throw away the container of jalapenos you think they would but didnt. Check your food if you do come here . Only reason i come here is because im health consious of what i eat but makes me think twice.

Please whatever you do, don’t come to this location. Always something wrong or it takes literally forever for them to make a simple bowl. Recent experience, today, ordered online, asked for my food, told me that it should be ready, I’m looking at my food that was already done. She then asked me again and little did I know, my food was literally sitting there getting cold after I just told her I’m here to pick up an order. I don’t like to leave negative reviews but don’t come to this location no matter what time of day.

The food and service were good. Lets get that out of the way. BUT you can make this at home with a rice cooker (which will steam veggies while the rice cookes), one pan for meat, and a $5 bottle of thickened sweet soy sauce straight out of the jar. If you want spicy add red pepper flake. It takes the rice longer to cook than to put this VERY simple concept together at home.

Value bowl combo is great for one person not so hungry.. miso soup had absolutely no flavor at all.. had to manually add flavor to it.. staff was great .. service also.

Stopped in on our way to Big Bear. My husband and I wanted a quick bite to eat that wasnt typical fast food faire. This was a pleasant surprise as we had never heard of this franchise let alone have eaten in one. It was definitely refreshing to see the healthier offerings on the menu, and no one asking do you want fries with that?I had a chicken bowl with rice and vegetables, my husband had the steak bowl. Both of us enjoyed our food. The wait wasnt too long. The food was well cooked and seasoned, and most importantly it didnt sit in our guts like a big stone when we were done.The restaurant itself was clean and kept up. Tables were wiped down and nothing was waiting on the chair to attach itself to the bottom of my pants.Will be putting this franchise on our list of places to look out for when were out and about.

Tasty nutritious bowls and plates. Ordering on the app earns a lot of freebies.

Although the girl who took our order was very nice, my chicken salad was awful. The chicken was all dark meat and grizzle. I was unable to eat it and was very disappointing.

They screwed up my order, I got 2 chicken bowls and I ordered 2 steaks bowls. They were tepid at best. They were light on veggies and had no cabbage. They had run out and failed to mention it. My bowl had 2 carrot slices and 4 broccoli pieces.The 2 young men were more interested in talking than working. I cant reccomend this location.

Ever since new management took over, every experience coming here is upsetting. As usual a long wait time, workers sweating, & barely any chicken!! ALL RICE!Prices event went up... I go to the waba in Redlands & get a 2 for $10 bowl loaded with chicken.

Just sat down ordered a few kids chicken bowls a waba chicken and steak bowl and a kids steak. The steak was bad, it was nasty. The meat tasted very bad, I even approached the staff on duty and explained that the steak really tasted bad. I didnt ask for anything free or even a refund, but I expressed to Alex E. Who was the employee on the receipt that the steak is bad and needs to be addressed before someone gets sick. The employees apologized and said thank you, but continued to sell the same meat. They ignored everything I made them aware of. The rotten meat taste is so bad it wont leave my mouth. This waba grill should be shut down before someone gets sick.

Half and half veggie with brown rice, green onion, white meat chicken, and half an avocado on top. I get this every time and they never disappoint. Ive tried other meals and they always seem lacking in body and flavor. I eat here all the time and just realized I never reviewed the place. Thanks Highland Waba crew!

Their portion sizes are smaller than. Other locations. They try to pinch pe. Its by filling bowls oy half way and are also stingy with sauce. Very disappointing

Review №22

2015-06-30 08:02:34

Stopped here because it was conveniently located off a 210 exit. The place definitely has a lot more sauces and seating than most Waba Grills in Los Angeles. But the service here was disappointing. The girl at the register (Indian descent?), who took a good 5 minutes to ask what I wanted after the last customer, was so preoccupied with other people that she didnt even look at me when asking if I wanted onions. Also the chicken in my bowl was burned and tasted bad. On to the next!

Review №23

2013-04-24 22:59:54

Very hit and miss, the last couple of times i went they the brown rice was under cooked and for the price the portions were very small. Weve been waiting for a healthy place like this in our neighborhood..we finally get one and what a disappointment....who ever owns this place better wake up soon, our theyll be closing the doors. I know i wont be back, Ive given them several chances and havent seen any changes so Im done.

I got a chicken bowl to-go here last week. Fifteen minutes later when I arrived home, I sadly had to throw out my entire meal. The small amount of chicken on top of the rice was the poorest quality that I have ever seen...dark, fatty, and grisly. When I pushed it aside and tried the rice, it was too hot to even eat. Obviously this was microwaved, left-over from the previous day. I am not in the food industry, but I am sure that I heard somewhere that re-heating rice is dangerous. If this place is cutting corners to save a few pennies on rice, it is obviously time to shut the doors. (Sadly, this place used to be pretty good).

The chicken tasted old and chewy. I didnt like my food at all. Overall the place was clean and the girl that took our order was nice, even though she was the only worker there at the time.

Love Waba Grill (but love tereyaki). Brown rice with chicken and veggies is great. Love the fresh vegetables & how easy it is to customize an order, as well as calling in order ahead of pick up. Portion size is very generous - kids meal is plenty big for an adult lunch. Employees are quick and efficient, so do not let a long line discourage you.

The restaurant has been taken over with new management the sauces come in small cups and the good is sub par

Review №30

2015-08-02 04:27:02

The kids serving need to be taught to wash their hands before handling food after theyve touched money. And we wanted veggies! Took the order to go and found out later. Grrrr. Not happy. They were polite when I called about it tho.

2022-11-27 06:00:04

Food is not fresh in the morning chicken is cooked in water from previous day and management is horrible.I wonder what happened to the crew that would work Wednesday mornings they where the best will not be returning here until changes are made

Review №32

2017-05-18 01:23:58

Good healthy, affordable food; especially the fish. There beef is incredibly tasty, but I cant eat much beef. The chicken is good, but I usually spend a couple bucks more and get the fish.

Review №33

2018-03-19 02:47:53

Compared to other Waba Grill locations, their steak and chicken seems reheated and burnt.And an update, apparently it takes 10 minutes for 1 bowl. Seriously whoever runs this location needs to reconsider who they hire

Review №34

2016-06-28 20:22:43

Chicken didnt seem cooked all the way and I asked for brown rice and they gave me white. I DO NOT recommend this place and I WILL NOT be returning to this waba grill. Wish they had a zero stars to give it none.

Review №35

2023-09-08 20:35:54

Review №36

2019-09-16 23:35:17

Food is great but the service was lack luster. No thank you, nobody informed me of the specials. Staff seemed more interested in talking to each other rather than talikng to the guest.

Review №37

2013-04-03 20:41:07

Was not happy with this place at all. The food quality was poor and the prices were too high for what you get. the service was also poor, the girl just gave me a blank stare whenever i asked her questions and then kind of gave me a look like i was dumb too. All im saying is.... dont waste your lunch hour here.

Review №38

2018-12-21 04:52:35

Food was ok... Smelled weird and the staff was screaming and messing around while i ate... Literally screaming loud. A girl in the back screaming. The girl in the front with a pony tail and glasses was the only one cleaning and working. Horrible

2018-01-17 02:08:55

Passed my number 3 times, ordered the salmon plate. $12 dollar lunch, I splurged, trying to be simi healthy about it plus I was just hungry. Turns out it was my offices code acronym FDCF!!! Fake Disgusting Cardboard Food. All male crew, rude, not even getting it that they were totally messing up. Just blank stupid stares. Even the 3 people that went in front of me were annoyed. I think I tried waba a few years ago and felt the same way, and now its fresh again... I will not forget!!! You took my 12 dollars!!!! Pass up waba, pass up waba, pass up waba--never again never again. Just not on our radar ever again. A bad taste in my mouth!

We order steak bowls(2)it was cold, I ask if they can microwave for us but they dont have one,it taste awful,gross and disgusting,their fountain drinks does not work except for brisk tea but what comes out was just plain water which is too expensive, they try to fix it but its not working they offered bottled drinks instead.This the worst WaBa grill Ive ever been,never go back again!The 1 star I give is generous,they dont even qualify for a star,food is baaaaad!
