    Convenient location in Centraal Station near the canal. Ask for a table near the windows facing the canal. There you can people watch and view boats traveling the canal. Food service is quick. The overall lighting is a bit dark so reading a portion of the menu is challenging. Otherwise the food is tasty and presentable.

    Thinking about my awesome previous experience at the London airport, I visited this place for lunch immediately after getting down from the train from Schiphol Airport but this place miserably failed in all departments of a restaurant - food wasn't that great, service was terrible and cleanliness didn't exist! Servers were very indifferent and almost rude bordering on racism though they also appeared not from here and having migrated from other countries! Much needs to done to spruce this place up for a better image it has in other countries! Location is simply fantastic and facing the North Sea as we can see it touches the restaurant! But for that one thing, nothing else to write home about. I won't go again!

    I am not sure why this restaurant is called Wagamama, and what exactly does that mean? At the Amsterdam Centraal station, there are a bunch of eateries and shops at the bottom level and after we were finished with a long day of excursions and other activities, we decided to quickly eat here before catching the train back to our hotel. My kiddos love Japanese cuisine, especially sushi and ramen and they saw some photos and signs outside the restaurant, that arose their curiosity. I knew right away that I wasn't going to win that battle. As the restaurant was closing in approximately 30 minutes, by the time we arrived I told kiddos to quickly get some ramen and no exploring the menu. They still went ahead and ordered beef skewers for appetizers, beef teriyaki with rice, and couple of chicken ramen. The beef was finely sliced and more on the rare side when it was served as appetizer. The beef teriyaki was good. It was flavorful and easy to chew, tender and the rice gave it a good compliment. Lastly, the chicken ramen was good too. The broth was seasoned well. The chicken was flavored well and the entire dish was to my children's liking.

    While in Amsterdam, my friends and I met up with some locals in search of a place to eat at inside the Amsterdam Centraal Train Station. Since it was King's Day, a lot of places were closed or full because people had already made reservations in advanced. We came across this Asian joint that had immediate seating and specialized in ramen/noodle type dishes. This was perfect since it was a cold and breezy day. Majority of the folks in my party ordered ramen while I decided to order a beef noodle dish similar to "chow fun" which is a Chinese noodle dish. My food tasted just ok only because it was on the much greasier side so I'm rating it 3/5. Service left much to be desired here. Not only did the server mess up on another person's order in my party, my dish was the last to arrive when everyone had already gotten theirs and were basically done eating by the time I got my food. To top that off, the server hardly checked up on us throughout the meal. The only highlight of the meal honestly was dessert. They had Vietnamese coffee flavored ice cream which was creamy and surprisingly pretty good. Maybe the server was new hence the lack of attentiveness and order accuracy? All I know is they're good for their desserts but the actual food entrees quality is questionable. And someone help me understand why the restaurant is named "Wagamama"?

    This branch of Wagamama is located in Central Station in Amsterdam, being familiar with the Wagamama chain as I'm from the UK, where they have 3 branches in the city centre of Manchester (my hometown) alone, I expected good things. Wagamama is quite small in the Netherlands, with only a handful of branches, four of which being in Amsterdam. Upon entering, I had good expectations for their gluten-free selection so I asked for their menu, I was surprised to be handed a long allergy guide instead, it did appear to be in dutch but most of the vocabulary was okay and easy to understand. My main issue with this isn't just how hard it was to find out the choice of being in a large book rather than a simple, quick menu which I'm used to at Wagamama in the UK but it was the condition of the book, it was wet, greasy and sticky and really not very pleasant to touch. Most of the items seemed to contain gluten anyway. The staff members didn't seem too helpful, they basically passed me the book and let me get on with it, rather than helping me and talking me through the menu and allergy guide, which would have been helpful. I've had so many cases during my time in Amsterdam where looks have totally deceived me, something or somewhere which looked nice, turning out to be far from it, despite looking modern and cool from the outside, the service, cleanliness and gluten-free selection here is so bad that I sadly feel Wagamama at Amsterdam Central deserves a one-star rating.

    Great meal of spicy curry and tofu salad with sweet chili sauce and cashews. Ask for a table on the far side of the restaurant looking out at the inventive architecture of "Amsterdam North".

    Great food and good service. We love the appetizers, cauliflower, chili squid, and hirata. Everything we ordered is delicious. They also have fresh juices and it's refreshing. Good location, specially if your in and out of town taking the train, centrally located in the heart of Amsterdam.

    Today June 6 is their 2nd day since they've opened up. People have yet to find this spot, so it wasn't crowded at all. Consequently the service - albeit friendly - was - after I was served my curry - slow, they're chatty, which in the end is so much better than grumpy stressed out staff. The AC was however doing overtime, although i had my jumper on i was freezing (ok i was a bit cold). I had the vegetarian curry (yasai), my usual pick, and a japanese beer. More than I can handle, but worth it. I feel like walking it off. It remains a feeling that is slowly fading, being lazy helps ;) All in all, not much to say other than great added value to Central Station: foodwise, opening hours, service. Will be back!

    Nice restaurant! Nice feelings with great service! I love the concept and the food has so much Asian tasting that I love it so much. It's at Centraal station so it's very convenient to go and grab some nice food before you travel. I will come back to this wonderful restaurant again.

    Two bowls of ramen with mint lemonade. Could use some dried seaweed and more green onions, but still delicious :)

We went based off the website boasting high end small dishes. We were anticipating thoughtfully prepared Asian fusion cuisine in an elegant setting. We ordered the tasting menu. None of the dishes were inspired. The menu started with an oyster in the half shell with a nice Asian version of a mignonette. The mignonette was excellent but the oyster itself was a little fishy. The sashimi that followed was good but identical to sashimi anyone can get in any decent sushi restaurant. The black cod followed. Like the sashimi, it was good but nothing special. The last main was seared wagyu. It was nicely cooked but the sauce was a completely uninspired sweet sauce that actually detracted from the taste of the meat. The tulip pot dessert was hands down the high point. It was the one part of the menu that felt in any way inspired. The service was friendly but very slow and very disjointed. The music was too loud to allow a meaningful conversation. The dining room is thoughtfully designed and actually quite cool. So, if you're looking for a club that serves mediocre uninspired Asian fusion cuisine, by all means go for it. If you're looking for a nice restaurant with thoughtful Asian fusion dishes, you might want to look elsewhere.

We had a bottle of Viognier to go with it. It all worked out at about £35 a head, which in my book is pretty reasonable compared to London. I strongly support the recommendation in other reviews that 2.5 or 3 dishes per person is the right amount to order unless you are fiendishly hungry. The experience of the slightly above average food was greatly enhanced by the great service and the fascinating decor (see photos!). Overall it was a great evening and I am very grateful to the person who recommended it.
