Anytime on vacation, I venture out in search of the best beef noodle soup. Truthfully, Edinburgh was the LAST place I thought I'd find what would ultimately be...the best dam noodle soup I've ever had. Rooted from the Sichuan & Chongqing flavors, the food is bold, fiery and wholesome. We had quite a Few offerings from the menu, but what stood out the most, was of course the beef noodle soup. Thick, chewy hand pulled noodles in a rich, bold & spicy broth. Generous amount of beef and topped off perfectly with peanuts...that's how you know it's real! The broth is on the thicker side, making it a very hearty meal. It was so delicious, we came back the next day for more. Service is on the slow side, some dishes don't all come out at the same time but staff is friendly. Signage outside is difficult to see, so look closely. Highly highly recommended. This was certainly the best beef noodle soup I've ever had and honestly, I'd fly over here just for that!

We chose the latter due to the fact that I'd never heard of this UK chain of Japanese restaurants. I also found the menu to be unique with the dietary-friendly halal, vegetarian, and GF offerings. Not many Japanese restaurants have that. We were welcomed in with the sound of a taiko drum. They tap the drum when entering and before being seated. I found it odd at first, but now I understand after reading about this traditional welcome. The restaurant was filling up fast. We thankfully were seated in a 2 seater booth by the window. It was completely full by the time we left. All the ramen choices looked fantastic. I've never seen such a huge variety of unique flavors. I was drawn to the Shio Yuzu and Shio Truffle. It was a tough decision, but the truffle won that battle. It ended up being a great choice. The truffle really brings out the flavor of the rice in the noodles. Although, these noodles were already pretty special. I think they make them here. There was a good amount of chicken, and that ramen egg was absolutely delicious. A perfectly made custardy yolk. I should have ordered an additional one. My husband's Spicy Chicken Teriyaki with rice was good, but not great. His words, not mine. I didn't try it because I'm not a fan of teriyaki sauce. The chicken gyoza were also pretty good. I was also super happy with the Yuzu Ice Tea from the Mocktail menu. It was very mojito-esque without the rum. A refreshing drink. The service was good. The atmosphere is very lively. I didn't really get a chance to take pictures inside. The décor is lovely, but more enjoyable when it's less crowded. I'd revisit it again if ever in this region. I may have to try their Black Garlic Tonkotsu ramen next time.

PLEASE NOTE: This was ordered and delivered through Deliveroo…read more Can't not have Wagamama when I'm in the UK! Most recently, I ordered several times from the Wagamama on St Andrew Square (I wonder if the location at Lothian is better? different? more consistent? I should probably find out, but this one is more highly rated on Deliveroo than the Lothian location, so I just always choose it). Some thoughts on their classics: + Vegatsu - It's hearty, it's filling, it's flavorful. Tofu and soya protein coated in crispy panko crumbs, served with an aromatic curry sauce, sticky white rice, and a dressed side salad that's sometimes enormous and sometimes literally three pieces of lettuce and an onion. PRO TIP: Go to the store and get fresh coriander and lime. Liberally sprinkle and squeeze both on your Vegatsu when it arrives. + Edamame With Salt - "Pop them out of their pod and enjoy" says the menu. It may sound a bit much, but everyone in your group should probably get their own order. I know I'm not sharing. - Edamame with Chili + Garlic Salt: I can't comment on these, as I have never received them despite ordering them over and over again. - Bang Bang Cauliflower: I'd skip these from this location; the cauliflower most comes in enormous chunks and it's never cooked through entirely. + Kimchee: I think two is the exact right number needed to top an order of Vegatsu with. I like the tang this kimchee has! +/- Extra Hot Katsu Sauce - If you want the option to have it spicy or not spicy, get the extra sauce. + Chilli Oil (x5) - Because they're free, and your edamame is most likely not going to come with the chili salt you wanted. Some thoughts on their newer stuff: - The Koko 'Prawn' Crackers - these Asian-style puffed crackers (tossed in coconut, chili, and lime salt AND served with a chili dipping sauce) were underwhelming and under seasoned. Would not reorder. + The Crispy Sambal Fry - I think this is my new favorite! A Wagamama and Spoons collab, this features firm tofu coated in garlic and red pepper powder, milk tomato sambal, a vibrant pickled slaw, coconut rice, and amai sauce on the side. All the flavors complimented each other so well, and it was just the right amount of filling. Admittedly the coating on the tofu didn't stick super well via delivery, but it didn't alter the experience. Please. Don't. Get. Rid. Of. This.

They didn't have any Spicy smashed cucumber on the day we visited, disappointed. The pork ribs were good, skip the kimchi, not worth it. Steak Teriyaki Soba - steak was chewy, the soba had no flavor or seasoning. Pulled Shiitake Donburi - as the name says, it was for shittake, they gave us the beef. Unfortunately, the waitress was no where to be found to let them know, so we just let it go. Thai beef salad - it never came out, then as we tried to hunt the waitress down, she came by and said our order went to the next table and they are remaking it. The problem, the next table didn't get our food, as they had ramen and soba. It seems like the waitress forgot to place the order in the system. Service - they need major improvements. Only saw two staff working the front and by the time we got our food, 75% of the tables were occupied. Flavor - they need to do some major work on improving their flavor profiles of all their dishes. The last time I was at Wagamama was over 15 years ago in London and I walked away with a great experience. Maybe the over expansion brought their quality down, but this location needs some major overhaul.
