NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA — WaBa Grill, a Southland-based restaurant chain that prides itself on serving healthy rice bowls and teriyaki plates, this month opened its newest locale in North Hollywood. And due to the fast-changing, COVID-related, open-close mandates, the eatery is offering free deliveries through July.

The new NoHo establishment is on Lankershim Boulevard in the Arts District.

"To provide some relief to guests, now that most of the brand’s dining rooms have been ordered to close once again, WaBa Grill is offering free delivery for orders placed via the WaBa Rewards App or the company website through July," company officials said. Curbside pick-up, takeout and third-party delivery also are available.
