Chilli squid
Hannah M.

Wagamama is one of the few chains I'll happily frequent, I was businessing and pretending I'm important in Birmingham, before lunching with my mother, because, simply, I am just the height of cool, and I decided to rope her in to japanese food again after her sushi disgust. An early lunch, the doorway was a little tatty, but other than that, everything fine, we were seated promptly, handed menus, and served by a wonderful little lady with glasses, who was charmingly friendly, cheery and eager, which was lovely. I chose the raisukaree, and the positive(?) juice, and we shared the chilli octopus, (my mother plumping for katsu and a beer) The squid arrived first, a huge portion considering it's a side, scored nicely and spiced evenly, tender, not at all chewy or rubbery, really nice. Mum's katsu came first, which she enjoyed, and I sipped on my juice of apple, carrot, blueberry and ginger, which was lovely, but why I ordered a ginger packed juice whilst eating red chilli filled food, I have no clue at all. My curry was great, I always like the sticky rice, the veg was fresh, and still had bite, and the prawns although not a huge amount of them, were cooked perfectly, and not the ones that are awkward with chopsticks. Lovely service, great food, and a new fan of it in the form of my mother.

I've yet to find anyone who doesn't like this place. Ideal for large groups of friends looking to find somewhere to eat quickly. There's usually a queue but there's also a fast turnaround of people so you rarely are waiting for long. The portions are very generous and taste fantastic. I'd recommend the free green tea while you wait for your food.

Service was fast and food was good. The place is conveniently located by the bullring; therefore, probably raising prices up a bit. We had a udon and a Yaki soba both were quite good. Our bill came up to about 19 pounds.

The house special dragon roll was my favorite, prawn tempura wrapped with eel and tobiko in a nice bbq mayo sauce. The Ten Ichi ramen is the way to go to have it all. Prawn tempura, tasty fried chicken, mushrooms, wakame, naruto and tofu. Only thing missing was the half egg. Noodles were too soft soaking up the tonkatsu broth. The pork katsu ramen was average, egg breaded pork was not as crispy as the fried chicken. Side of vegetable tempura was a nice assortment of delicious veggies. Overall it was a pleasant experience in a comfortable setting. Great date spot with something for everyone.

While cooking your meal, the chef will keep you entertained (e.g. by juggling eggs). We had several courses and everything was really tasty. You will not leave hungry. Instead you will leave being more than satisfied and happy. I do not know what else there is to say. This has definitely been worth every single penny. Once I am back in Birmingham, I will definitely return to this restaurant and I highly recommend you to eat there too if you are interested in or love Japanese food.

We were a large party of 19 so we had 2 chefs and they were a brialliant double act: we had flames, flying eggs (smashed eggs) numerous selfies and rude figures made with veggies! And don't forget the food... For £22 (they do a cheaper pre theatre menu) you get starter (3 mini pieces), salad, miso soup, your main choice (protein, fried rice and veggies) and of course dessert. all mains cooked quickly with garlic, soy and butter what's not to like....inwentnfornthe steak and it was cooked spot on (medium rare) If you are looking for an overall experience with a group of friends these are the guys to go and see
