“ Went during my lunch on Friday evening! I specifically requested for my chicken to be crisp on the edges and tender in the middle! Zoe made my chicken exactly the way I requested and surprised my taste buds! It was by far the best meal this week. The place was very neat and clean!! Definitely will be coming back with all my nursing staff. Thank you Zoe!!! ”
“ This place is a hidden gem. The food is quite tasty, the rib eye is amazing. The young man in the grill did an amazing job with my food. Will most definitely recommend and return when I am in the area. It’s so refreshing to see young people working and doing such an admirable job!! Great job guys!!! ”
“ My food was delicious! Staff was extremely friendly and professional. I’d come here again anytime. The manager Carlos was very helpful since it was my first time getting waba ”
“ Marked safe from inflation here! I’ve always loved Waba but there aren’t any in north county. This location is excellent. I ordered a Waba bowl (chicken and steak) but it came with steak only. I guess the employee gave me the wrong bowl, but made it right with a generous portion of steak. Super good food and friendly employees. Look at what you get for 12.50 here compared to the pathetic portions at Chipotle. ”
“ I work near by all these foodie spots but this particular place has the best dumplings. Aside that the staff is always happy. My order is done so fast. I literally have no complaints. One of my favorite places to come eat in my lunch break. I love giving great feedback when I’m happy with a local. All the young staff is particularly delightful and professional Gracias. thank you. - Marlen Gallardo ABOC Americas Best Eyecare ”
“ Between all the taco shops in the area this place is a fresh breath of air. Best of all they have 2 vegetarian protein options (tofu and plant steak). I got a bowl with plant steak and veggies over brown rice. The flavours were spot on. The wait time was minimal. ”
“ The food is incredibly delicious, and the employees are both friendly and professional. I highly recommend it! ”
“ I wanted some dumplings but I was undecided of the food portions. Carlos (cashier) was so nice to describe the food amount that comes with every bowl. A very friendly place and really good food. I tend to eat here for the same reasons. ”
