Wagamama

What an asset to the blue water Waggamama - A young lad named Sam served us today and he was just on point. He was super patient, polite and extremely knowledgeable to the point where he informed us that the chillies were in season to why they are hotter then normal (interesting to me as I love hot food). He recommended our food and it ended up being the best food we have ever had in waggamama. Thanks for the lovely service 😊

It was quite busy but it always seems to be at this restaurant. It was very hot in there and felt a little cramped. Our food didn't take too long to come but the calamari was overcooked. The mains were lovely albeit lacking the bbq flavour I expected and it was a bit soggy. All in all I would come back but would probably order different dishes.

Now I’ve not ever been to Wagamama before, partly due to the large queue that’s is always apparent and the total misunderstanding of the menu. However the queue is there for a reason. Staff are quick to turn tables around. This is partly due to the payment method and working of how you pay. On being sat you’re given a table number with a QR code. Once your order has arrived you can pay straight away. The menu is large but plenty of pictures are available and the servers are well adapt to recommending what you may like. There’s a few with some heat so be warned but the server is keen to point this out. Food arrived as and when it’s cooked so forget the old standard of starters and mains, it all just keeps coming. Portions are massive but the whole sim is to have a series of different things. Price wise, you’re looking at around £40-50 (including drinks/alcohol will be more) for 2 people. Staff are friendly and attentive and there’s a way of giving tips when you pay to thank them. Food arrived pretty quick so don’t think you’ll be hanging around. Also the tables are very close to each others so not a place for a cosy hideaway. You may be sharing your bench with others. This however gives a different feel to other restaurants. It’s not fast food as such but it’s also not a place you sit down and wine and dine for hours. With the amount of choice of the menu it’s going to be worth another visit from me. I’d recommend the bao buns and curry. If your a bit more hungry, go for the noddles and it’s a larger bowl than other dishes.

Chris and Elliott served us today and they did the most stand up cracking job. Chris was attentive and helpful for the whole time we were here and made our meal one to remember! Good work!

Thank you to Wagamama staff for such a wonderful evening and making my sister’s birthday extra special. The staff and service is great and food as always amazing. In my opinion chicken chilli Ramen is their signature dish.
