Waba Grill - Fontana Location

New job, new places to eat. Overall I was a little disappointed, I personally prefer Flame Broiler than this place. They are very similar in scope. Both are terriyaki bowl type places, noth have Kim Chi, both have brown rice options, this place has Salmon as a menu option also, also both have their spicy sauce and hoisin type sauce (although here is isn't called "magic sauce". This place seems to be a tad more expensive.

Today I ordered the beef bowl and a soda. I was taken aghast that the meat+veggie options cost more than the pure meat option. Initially I wanted to go healthy, but based on the price, I had to go with the pure meat option. It still cost almost 8 dollars for myself.

Beef Bowl - no onions

The beef bowl is a charbroiled beef in their Teriyaki type sauce. The beef was well done, not burnt anywhere, It was not dry. I tried a little bit before drenching in hot sauce, and it was decent but unremarkable. After adding the spicy sauce, it was a little better, but not quite to my like as Flame Broiler. The spicy sauce is more sour here and less spicy overall.

Service was ok today, place was relatively packed with clients.

Overall a 3 star performance. I may be back one day to try on of their bowls, but there are so many options nearby at similar prices, I would have to try those first! (Including the Sizzler salad bar, but even that is 7.99).

Fong Noodle - Ontario, California

Really, Yelp? a 4.5 star Chinese place in Ontario? Could it be? Yelp does not usually fail, so we went to check this place out!

The location for this restaurant is in the same complex as the Edwards Theatres, great location, right off the freeway. The restaurant itself is not a complete sit down type restaurant, you actually order at the counter and they wait at the table. No hostess, they do have a server. The guy cooking is actually Asian. Prices are really cheap. They understand English here (dead giveaway you are not getting authentic food).

What did we have?

I had the Garlic Chicken combo and wife had the curry chicken noodle combo. We also ordered a wonton soup

Each combo comes with a little side salad which was fresh and actually had a good tasting dressing.

The Garlic Chicken was just ok. It must have been on the salty side probably with MSG because at my doctor appointment a few hours after, my blood pressure was higher than ever. Overall, I was disappointed probably because Yelp reviews led me wrong. I should have expected Panda Express style food.

The Curry Noodle was just ok also. My wife seemed to enjoy it though.

The War Wonton Soup was pretty good but again loaded with MSG or salt.

Trying to not be biased by previous Yelp reviews, I'll give this place 3.5 stars. The taste is not quite as good as Magic Wok in Fontana, or Panda Express, but their food is cooked to order and that always is a plus (note, Magic Wok will cook to order also, just order something not on the warmers).
