Wagamama is my go-to spot in every city I visit! Always fresh, tasty, and comforting. I never skip it when I travel around the UK

Our party stopped at Wagamama a bit after 21:00. There wasn't long of a wait and we were seated within 5 minutes. The restaurant itself has plenty of seating on the main floor but also has an upstairs seating area. The service staff was extremely friendly. Drinks arrived promptly and food came quickly after (though this might be because of the late hour and fewer patrons). For my drink, I ordered the "Green Samurai" which is a blend of melon liqueur, yuzu, and Asashi beer. It was excellent! Other members of our party really enjoyed the Cherry Blossom Lemonade and the Yuzu Lychee tonic. As an appetizer, we ordered a round of the vegan K-dogs. Covered in crunchy noodles, a vegan mayo and sriracha, these protein-packed corndogs were delicious! For a main, I went with the Vegatsu (a vegan take on a chicken katsu). The curry sauce was delicious and the tofu had a nice, crisp, fried breading. It was a very filling dish. I also sampled my partner's tofu gochujang rice bowl. It had a pleasant kick of spice and a medley of delicious vegetable flavors. Overall, the food was incredible and the atmosphere was lovely. I would definitely visit again!

Great restaurant and good location. The service was on point and super friendly, exactly what you would expect from them... Good selection of drinks (they have Asahi tab. Which one amazing Japanese beer.) and food, all of which were spectacular... it was very crowded but it’s good.

1st visit. Attracted by the fusion menu & decided to try. Love the feel of warmth hospitality the moment I walk in. Staff were very friendly, patient & professional in recommending, explaining their dishes. He even google & showed me pictures. The taste was pretty good, but the price is on a slight steep scale. Business is danm good. It's full house & I could see customers queuing outside. Love best is the kirltchen set up because you can see the chefs preparing the food.

We had an amazing server on our visit called Naomi. When my food arrived and didn’t taste right she not only got the kitchen to make me a slightly different dish very quickly (which tasted so much better!), but also was so attentive and went to great lengths to make sure that my partner and I were enjoying our meals. She was friendly, happy, and a credit to the restaurant.

Had a good time here for dinner. Food was fusion style but tastefully done. Love the atmosphere and the vibes from the staff serving us both. Wish I can come back again but will leave a good comments here instead since we are not from this country. Highly recommended. Well done all!

It might just be me but god it was heavenly, the food was a 100/10, i ordered number 69 (sticky rice, 100/10 beef, carrot, green stuff). The food was out very quickly even though it was crowded, it was a little noisy but it's understandable. Their system works great, i don't regret going there AT ALL. Everything was so great.
