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 wasnt 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 lets 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. Ill definitely stop by soon to redeem them whenever my tastebuds scream WaBa, WaBa, again.Highly recommend!NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM

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!

A decent price for relatively healthy fast food, everything tasted great! they didnt 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 dont hold it against them.

Waba Grill is a very reasonable facility. The food is very very healthy and youre given great options to adjust the flavoring of the food. If you enjoy spicy thats another great option at Waba. The employees are very supportive and if you request upgrades or changes to your order they go over the top to make your meal just as you requested!

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 theyre 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 wasnt anyone in there and they still managed to forget something in my order!!

This was my first time going to WaBa in Lakewood and I was very disappointed. I bought the WaBa Bowl...the chicken look like it came from scraps of chicken, the beef was okay... My co worker bought hers from the city and her food looked nothing like mine. They didnt put any green unions.... I wasnt sure if that was an option. I ate some of the beef and threw the rest away. What a waist of 7 dollars. This experience makes me stay away from meat good or bad. That CHICKEN WAS AWFUL...

I love this place the management always made your experience great. She is always taking care of the costumers, puting attentio. In our needs. Plus the food is great i love the salmon plate with the fruit and the kale salad..Of course this kale salad is delicious i went to other waba and the salad was disgusting..but here is other history...costumer service is the best all the employee are so friendly...ill be back again...

Stay away from this location if you are going for chicken. Tastes like it has been left out for a week, I mean, it is too dry and tastless. I have gone to other Waba Grill, and food is good, but this one is kind of the exception.

The store is never open on time, Ive waited for the place to open and a female cashier was apologizing about sorry I take the bus the bus was late ect .. Another time it was closed around 12 pm noon last week during the week, I hope the owner looks at this review so he can check and speak to the team members,... Such a desapointment .
