Kitchen area looked unfinished and messy/dirty, yet it smelled strongly of cleaning product (to the point of nauseum). Food was okay, but didn’t have much of an appetite after ordering and wondering if I should eat at the establishment.

I ordered my food to be ready at 12:15 at 11 so when I arrived I was expecting it to be ready, it wasn’t. Someone else who had walked in and ordered as I was waiting there for my food got their food before me so I got up to ask about my food again. It was ready and they just had it sitting there. I ordered 10 dumplings, received no sauce for the dumplings and on top of that 8 of the 10 dumplings were somehow undercooked and burnt at the same time and they were extremely chewy and doughy and just not good. I also ordered a miso soup, just a plain miso soup which is cheaper than the loaded miso soup and was given the loaded miso soup instead. I detest soggy rice and just wanted a plain miso soup so that was also ruined for me. The employees were completely lost in the sauce and did not seem to care about anything. I had given this place another chance after about a 2 month break because the service was always slow when I went. After this experience I will NOT be coming back ever. If you’re in the mood for waba grill I urge you to go to flame broiler instead, they NEVER mess up my order and the service is always fast!

So my wife and I are on vacation and just hit search for near by places. God is good all the time and all the time God is good! He lead us to Waba grill and this was our first meal since touching down in Indio! My wife had the steak and chicken rice bowl. I had the chicken and shrimp rice bowl with veggies. The proteins were bomb but the sauce is what stole the show! The spicy waba sauce and the garlic Serrano sauce slap we wanted to buy a bottle but couldn’t find away to get it in the plane. I think we’re gonna have them ship it!

Service was slow, took a minimum of 20min to get our order, No hustle from any of the employees. Prices are high, we added shrimp to one of our bowls and the price went up over $8. Every trash can was overfilling, we had to wipe down our table as all tables were dirty. By the time the order came we decided to take it to go. Chicken bowl was good, Steak was fatty and rice had some hard spots.

They buy chicken from winco when they run out. Rice Cookers basically on the floor. Elizabeth is very unprofessional and rude. They really need a new manager here this place is a dump!

Not sure why this place gets as many bad reviews as it does. I’ve been here over a dozen times and I always receive nothing but the best in customer service and quality of food

Flew in from GA 8/21 and was looking forward to getting some Waba from this location in Indio. A coworker and I arrived around 8:30 p.m. and ordered the chicken and steak Waba bowl and dumplings. Upon arriving back to our hotel, we found both the chicken and steak to be dry and overcooked with a texture like jerky with a slight burnt flavor and very little rice. There was just enough rice to cover the bottom of the bowl. The only good thing about the meal was the dumplings. This was a very disappointing visit, hoping it was just tonight’s service and hoping this place hasn’t gone down hill in quality like other restaurants. I don’t think we will be going back again this trip.

Ordered brown rice chicken and veggie bowl, got no brown rice and no veggies. Must be a bad day, still tipped them because you just never know when someone is just having a bad day. Doesn’t hurt to bring in some sunshine if you can.

First time at this location. The food was good. I ordered chicken with brown rice and 5-piece dumplings.

It used to be okay. Unfortunately, now they give you very little rice that sometimes is hard. It’s not really worth it for the price.
