Either way, WaBa sauce is designed to balance out the flavor of any WaBa Grill dish.

What To Eat WaBa Sauce With

WaBa sauce can be eaten with almost all of the classic menu items, pretty much all of the WaBa bowls and plates in their variations.

In fact, some of the menu items are even cooked in the sauce.

For instance, in the WaBa chicken and steak bowl, the steak is hand-basted in the sauce prior to cooking.

Nevertheless, you can order additional sauce, if required. Although each sauce will cost you around $0.30 (At least if you are ordering online!)

WaBa sauce – the sweet dark versatile signature sauce that this popular grill has become admired for.

So do give it a try.

At the very least order it as a side. That way you can only use a small amount and see if you like it.

And if you’re feeling brave – give the spicy version a go too.

It’s not overly spicy, but it certainly has a kick!
