“ Appeared to be service issues with other customers and one waitress when we entered, however our experience was fine. Food was good and cozy on a cold day. ”
“ Still amazing after all these years--also still wishing they were in the US. Great selection of healthful and very tasty Asian dishes. Unique seating and excellent service. A must do if you're anywhere near a Wagamamas! ”
“ Good food. Not my favorite atmosphere and seating, but very clean and tidy. Staff was nice. Good variety of options, fairly easy to customize things to order how you wish. ”
“ I remember watching a video about David Chang where he raved about how much he loves this chain. I didn't really plan to eat here on my last night in London but my mom was starving after a brutal shopping day on Bond Street and just happened to walk past this wagamama. It was busy and there was practically a line out of the door so I figured the food must be pretty good if people are willing to line up for this. After waiting an excruciating 45 minutes to finally snag a communal table we spared no time and ordered almost immediately. We ordered several dishes to share and I would say every dish was tasty except for the yaki udon. It's was just really bland which made it all texture with no taste. I wanted to eat something light so I ordered the glass noodle salad with chicken. It actually turned out to be a lot better than I had expected...the dressing was light and on the sweeter side yet still very refreshing. The highlight was a squid ink pasta dish. I can't seem to find the name of the dish on the website so I believe it was a seasonal dish that is not longer available. Such a shame because it was probably one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had, no joke. It was light but also satisfying. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the fish was so fresh! It was a flaky fish so I think it might've cod but I don't know for sure. If they every bring this pasta dish back, I'll literally eat here every week! There are also a lot of complaints about food arriving at different times. I understand that when you dine at western establishments it customary to bring out the appetizers before mains and so on but it's not like that with most Asian cultures. Food is the freshest right off the wok and won't taste as good if you let it sit for a few minutes while the chefs finish cooking the rest of your table's food, that's why it's served sporadically. Wagamama is an exceptional fuss free dining option so I'm genuinely shocked at the number lackluster reviews this place has! ”
