A journey of fire, flavor and family โ the passion that fuels every dish we serve.
wabgrill began with a simple belief: that the honest heat of a charcoal grill can transform humble ingredients into something extraordinary. Founded in Riverside, California, our restaurant is a tribute to the rich grilling traditions found across Asia โ from the bustling street stalls of Seoul to the smoky yakiniku houses of Japan.
What started as a small family kitchen has grown into a beloved neighborhood destination, but our heart remains unchanged. We still cook every dish with intention, source every ingredient with care, and welcome every guest like family.
