WaBa Grill is courting customers who are avoiding meat during Lent season.
Recent Instagram posts by the La Puente-based quick service chain include such messages as, “No beef with Fridays. We’re keeping it sea-rious instead.” And it suggests, “Grab a seafood or plant-based bowl and live your dream.”
WaBa Grill is a quick-service chain that calls its menu Asian-inspired. It includes several bowls and plates with chicken, steak or both as well as salmon, shrimp and tofu. Bowls come with white or brown rice, and plates or veggie bowls come with a mix of broccoli, cabbage and carrots as well.

The menu also includes tacos with the chain’s Boom Boom Sauce, salads with choice of protein, pork dumplings and sides such as wonton strips, avocado and edamame kimchi. Desserts include chocolate chunk cookies and marshmallow bars.
Bowls with shrimp or wild-caught Pacific salmon run about $12.39. “Plantspired” steak bowls made with plant-based protein cost about $10.79, and tofu bowls with the chain’s WaBa cost cost $9.69.
Veggie bowls cost $10.69-$13.39. And plates cost $12.69-$15.39.

Norms also has a new fish special beginning Friday, March 20.
It’s called BOGO Trout Friday, and it will run through April 3, according to representatives for the casual restaurant chain, which is based in Bellflower.
Customers can buy one trout fillet on Fridays and get a second free. The offer doesn’t include soup or salad and is not valid on the value combo, representatives say.
Norms also serves wild-caught whitefish, fried shrimp, grilled salmon fillet and a Fisherman’s Combo Platter.
