Wagamama comes definitely as a surprise. Although for what you would expect as a "chain" restaurant the quality of the food is up-scale. I had amazing gyozas as starters followed by a well-seasoned pad-thai. Staff was friendly and although I find it quite pricey portions were big: there was no room for dessert!
Great service, seated quickly during a busy Saturday evening. Waitress checked on us regularly and food came out hot and within a reasonable time. Full marks for food quality as well as service. Highly recommended!
We ordered steamed chicken gyoza and kimchi salad over our green tea as starters. Chicken katsu curry and chicken and prawn yaki soba for mains, and the chocolate fudge cake for dessert. Besides the fudge cake, everything was a stand-out in terms of presentation, flavours, taste and portion size. The dumplings were moist, flavoursome and appetizing. The katsu curry wasn't too hot to handle, with long chunks of crispy chicken and the sticky rice was a perfect compliment to the dish. My friend loved her yaki soba, soft noodles with crunchy prawns and vegetables. Wagamama managed to fill me up right upto my brim with their awesome food. So, anyone complaining their portion sizes are small makes me really wonder about their order?! I was one happy customer. Again, a go to place for me.
I really enjoyed my visit here. For starters we ordered mushroom onigiri and yasai steamed gyoza - both the dishes were delicious but I found them slightly over-priced considering the quantity served!
Next we ordered yasai ramen - this was absolutely delicious - the broth was so so good!!! The Japanese omelette, veggies, the noodles themselves - just wow! We had also ordered yasai cha han donburi- brown rice with lots of vegetables. This was also nice but the star was definitely that ramen dish.
Will visit again for sure but only for that ramen dish.
The food was really good but there's only one particular that was most favourable by me which was the fire cracker, also the firecracker was really spicy if you're into it

Been to Wagamama way too many times. The food is a soul food for me. The service is good and staff friendly. I tried their app too in restaurant and its pretty tech savvy!
The decor is different and authentic while being modern too. Prices are reasonable. Food was good but portions weren't great. Service was very good.
Yum! the broth, sauces, texture, flavor... not too spicy and not too sweet - just right. go for a Saturday noon meal. You'll love it. Especially the community dining experience. Very vibrant and alive.
Great staff. I enjoy the food, but the presentation of some dishes need to be revamped. Its very hip, I wouldn't say they cater to those with back issues! Picnic style eating, topped with a pricey menu.
Exceeding expectations. What wonderful service! We had dinner here last night and I have a large number of food problems, but our waitress was wonderful, she sat down with us, helped me to understand the allergies menu and went out of her way to ensure we had a great meal. I didnt get her name but what a wonderful asset to your company! Thank you mystery lady.
I had a great experience at Wagamama, a Japanese restaurant, when I visited with my girlfriend, her parents, and two friends. The food was exceptional - I ordered the pad Thai with chicken and prawns, and everyone else had dishes like grilled salmon, duck, ramen, and chicken katsu. We also tried six fresh fruit juices which were delicious. I'd rate the food a perfect 5 out of 5 stars.
However, I have to deduct a star for service. While most of the staff were friendly and attentive, one of the bartenders was a bit rude to us, which left a slightly sour note. Overall, we had a fantastic meal, and we're definitely planning to come back in the future.
Can’t ever go wrong with a wagamamas. Firecracker is my fave, do hope for more vegetarian soupy noodle dishes. Staff were very attentive and caring with my friend who has an allergy. 10/10❤️
Easy to pay by mobile and QR code. Casual environment. Pakchi(smelling vegetable) is normally in the soup and ramen.
Fantastic food as always - vegan Pad Thai was lush and just what we needed in the middle of a mom / daughter post-exam girlie shopping day. The staff are so lovely and I left one of my bags 🙄 -went back an hour later and they had kept it safe ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much that was so very kind of you
Healthy fusion dishes with a very convenient location. Cash and credit cards are accepted.
Amazing service, was served by Raissa. Food was delicious, such lovely staff and vibe ❤️
First time here and we totally enjoy with my wife! It was really nice than if you don't eat meat they have plenty of choices (veggie) soo tasty, it's very quiet place as well. the waiters was very friendly with their customers and the food came quickly, very generous portion. Everything was perfect we will come back here without hesitation 👊🏽🔥
I have been here multiple times and the food and staff are amazing, however I can't express my gratitude to the staff enough after the experience I had today, I was having a panic attack and just popped in to ask to use the toilet to try and calm down, Jack and the lovely lady with green hair and awesome tattoos (I wish I caught her name) really looked after me, sat me down and got me a complimentary green tea plus a refill. I massively appreciated this gesture of kindness. Great people ❤️

Very very busy and loud everytime we've gone. Still, I love getting food here as it's always yummy and there is such a plethora of vegan options to choose from.
It can definitely be hit and miss. Sometimes service is top notch, sometimes you're sitting there waiting for a few minutes.
I also dislike the stools used as seating. Sometimes my back isn't 100% and the lack of back support simply isn't ideal.
The food is good, yet slightly expensive. Even with the prices being a little questionable, I do find myself returning fairly frequently.
