Proper fast food - get in and get out quickly. Taste is king - would happily eat here instead of the capital's more illustrious Japanes restaurants. Prices reasonable, some good specials on offer. Great atmos and staff are good humoured. Will be back again and again. read more

I've been to Wagamama in London before and, as you'd expect in a chain, the food in Dublin was just as good as in London. I really love the noodles for the amai and yaki udon. This place isn't the most beautiful of restaurants, with white walls and in a basement with no windows but it's a fun place where you can see into the kitchen and everyone shares benches. The staff was a little slow, but it was a good experience. If you have a discount card from a university (not a student card) then on weeknights you can get two meals for the price of one too, so that's a HUGE plus! read more

Been here a couple of times, and while I do enjoy the food, it is just that little bit too expensive ! The price is wholly unjustified; 6 something for a little bowl of edamame? 8 euro for 4 tiny duck gyoza? Bit nuts ! The mains are, comparatively, nowhere near as expensive, and although the food is good, leaving with a 40 euro bill for two people AFTER getting 2 for 1 mains using a student card is just too expensive for what it is. While I would recommend it for convenience and the service is lovely, it's simply too expensive for what it is in my opinion read more

Big queue out the door I'm thinking, "dis place gotta be dench" but no, not tat tall, it's just a large helping of Meh with a side order of Bland. And the price to quality ratio makes it not at all worthwhile. A small example: the gyoza are (intentionally it seems) bone freakin dry, all crispy and stuff. Is this a joke? Dehydrated gyoza? Gobi desert Gyoza? read more

A restaurant belonging to a huge chain which is very popular in the UK. Rather expensive, but is worth every euro you spend there. Don't forget to have a shot of Japanese plum wine for the dessert! read more

Really not the place it used to be....when it first opened, I loved the clean dining / fresh eating concept it offered at communal tables in a really bright setting. I called in on Saturday for a late lunch. Was seated at one of the takeaway "pick up" tables opposite the bar despite plenty of room for single diners in the main area. The room is really dark, almost night club. Just not for me personally. I would have requested a move to another table had I known in advance that the wait staff then basically whizz past the pick up tables without actually ever looking your direction let alone make eye contact, making it a real pain to a. catch their attention so as to order any food, b. follow up on the order when the food takes a little while, c. enquire about the drink to go with my meal which was forgotten and arrived half way through, d. pay! The juice (when it did arrive) was really tasty, the food though was so far below average. My yaki udon was bland, tepid, contained two small prawns among the overall skimpy meat/veg content in the dish and overall tasted like it had been sat under a heat lamp to dry out for a bit. The curry oil flavour was virtually non existent. I think the crew need to do some much needed market research. There's so much better out there in Dublin at the moment. Try the yaki udon at Musashi - similar price, tastes really fresh, lots of veg, generous meat portion, and service is head and shoulders above this place. And no, I am not in any way affiliated with Musashi - just shopping around. I won't be back here any time soon....not worth it. read more

The best Wagamama restaurant I've been to. Has a much wider range on the menu than other Wagamama restaurants and more for vegetarians too. Great central location and inexpensive food. read more

Yaku sobu was good, the wasabi fudge cake was one of the best desserts I've ever had. Didn't taste the wasabi though. Also it wasn't a cake either, more of mousse read more

We went there with friends to have some Japanese specialities. The sushi was really nice and a huge portion (rainbow). I also had the Bento Box which was a medium nice experience. The duck salad was very refreshing but the duck was not tasty. The warm mackerel was very nice and fresh. The whole grain rice was disappointing for a Asian restaurant. The fried duck was way too fat. Anyway the service was friendly and quick. read more

Disappointing food and service. Overpriced. Have been multiple times over a course of months and ordered the same dish each time, the standard, quality and presentation were all unreliable. Most recently was very disappointed at receiving a noodle dish with very poor presentation. Had to get three different servers attention to get the bill. Only worth while when using a student 2 for 1, otherwise the price is not matched to the quality of the food. read more

Ah has the look of a soviet canteen with an atmosphere to match. The food is tasty though and you can sign up for their offers online.

So maybe it's not as authentic as Yamamori, but the gyozas are better here. They serve Asahi too. This is a suitable place for a fussy eater to try Japanese food for the first time. read more

Came here twice while on vacation. One time with my 4yr old and another time straight takeout. Both times were great. Excellent and friendly staff. Decent food. Nice cozy atmosphere. Kids menu with even kids chop sticks! The fire cracker cauliflower was good, so were the gyoza and squid appies. We also tried the yaki udon and veggie fried rice donburi. My son absolutely ate up his entire bowl of rice. Saw lots of other families here too - so definitely family friendly. Staff even gave my son extra crayons and colouring sheets and chop sticks with his doggie bag. Would definitely come back here again when in Dublin. Great location beneath the mall. read more

I have eaten here twice, the first time I went as my friend would not stop raving about it! When i got in the door and smelt the aromas of all the food i nearly melted! But I found the food SLIGHTLY dissappointing. I think there was too many flavours all in the one dish. But the second time I went, I was plesantly surprised as it was much nicer, I think the first time I must have chosen something too compliacated. I love the decor, and the seating arrangements, very modern and sophisticated. But there is alwasy a que to get it! How annoying! Despite the queing, its worth trying! :) read more

Totally overrated restaurant. It's noisy, crowded & expensive and the food is mediocre. Not a fan at all.

This intenationally recognised japanese noodle bar is very popular. You may have heard of wagamama from celebs in america, but this noodle bar chain needs to get its high recognition here as it is in america and around the world. The dishes are very fresh, you can order breakfast, lunch, dinner, juices, desserts and house specials. This is also an ideal place to take the kids as there is a special kids menu. You will experiance a unique dining experiance here and food is delivered as soon as it is cooked. Staff are cool and fab. Fantastic. I recommend the noodles here:) read more

This is my favourite japanese restaurant by far. It's a japanese noodle bar, where everyone sits on bench seating rather than the typical table and chairs. Again there are a variety of meals to choose from but the most popular being ofcourse the noodles. The food is cooked FRESH and not prepared earlier (it comes on-time aswell) so you taste the freshness. The staff are very friendly, sometimes a little over friendly, but nothing wrong with that I suppose. As it's not a typical style restaurant, don't expect it to be dead silent, this place is noisy (not noisy as in crowd noise,lol) but good fun. Wagamama is a very popular restaurant and many celebrities are a fan of the restaurant aswell. read more

Wagamama offers healthy Japanese food in a friendly modern atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and the food tastes so good that it is easy to forget that it is healthy. The seating arrangement is different to other restaurants but eventually this is forgotten and the feeling of community is quite comforting. read more

Large portions and friendly staff, but nowhere near as tasty as other asian places in the city. Unreasonably long queues.

This is part of the chain of Japanese wagamama restuarants. The food is good and pretty fresh although I have found the quality does vary depending on when you go. It tends to be really busy at lunchtimes and the queues can stretch out the door onto the street. The service is quick and efficient and the staff are friendly. There is a wide variety of dishes catering for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. read more

I had dinner twice there within the period of 2 weeks while visiting Dublin. The first time I really enjoyed it. The food was excellent and the ambiance was informal, and the service was good. That's why I went to it the second time, and boy, did I wish otherwise. The service was still good, but the noodles that I ordered were half cooked, the soup was lukewarm, the squids were rubbery, and the seaweeds were so hard that could not be cut with a knife. Then, worst of all, I had stomach problems all night and the second day, when I on the flight back to US. So, never again. read more

Fun place to go for fast tasty food with friends. One of my fave Asian restaurants before I moved to NYC... Still enjoy it when I go back to Dublin and going out with a group read more

First thing when i walked in, i was not greeted by any of the staff so i simply went and looked for a free table with my girlfriend. After 10 mins a lady came up to us and gave us the menu. The lay out of the menu was really hard to follow compared to other restaurants. The food took a bit to be served. The Restaurant is actually well hidden. Took me a while to find it. Place is bright and clean but no atmosphere whats so ever. I didn't enjoy being shoulder to shoulder with a stranger on the bench-style seating during a busy lunch hour. Their juice is really nice and food is good too but a bit pricy for me :/ read more

I went to Wagamama for the very first time the other day. They advertised mid- week student specials on the door so we thought we'd give it a try. My two friends ordered from the set 3 course menu and I asked for the waitresses recommendation. I got a 'firecracker' which was very spicey (she didn't mention that but I guess the name kinda gives it away) with lots of rice but not so much meat and veg. It was okay. The starters and mains my two friends had were also just okay. The desserts however were lovely and did make up a bit for the rather disappointing rest. The amotmosphere in there is non-existing, the benches are uncomfortable and it was very noisy. Upon paying we produced out student cards only to be told that the special is 2 courses for 1, something that wasn't mentioned anywhere so no discount for us. Overall I thought it was pricey for what it was and really nothing to write home about. read more

Okay, so Wagamama is just an international chain restaurant, but it's quick, the prices are reasonable and there are choices for vegetarians and vegans. The food isn't anything special - it's mostly noodle dishes. This place is lacking a bit in atmosphere with the long communal tables, but chances are you're probably not going to Wagamama for the whole evening anyway. read more

This place is great really fast food and nutritious too. Only bad thing is sometimes you are squashed right beside someone else, so not much privacy when eating. read more

A great place to meet friends for a quick, reasonably priced lunch! I have tried this chain in other countries and the standard is always good! read more

Does what it says on the tin. Met a group of friends here before heading out on Saturday night. The food was nice and we were in and out in 45 minutes read more

Being 24 it seems everyone my age is obsessed with this place, its a student favorite and I have no idea why. I have been dragged here six times and every time I tried a different meal each tasteless boring and extremely overpriced. I am so sick of hearing about this place and having it suggested everytime I go for food. I am never going here again the prices are a disgrace and so is the watery tasteless mediorce food. Even the deserts and drinks are a rip off the portions are tiny. I mean come on most of the dishes are noodles in a watery sauce with some prawns and a chopped up pepper thrown in thats not worth the twenty euro . My friends always say "but it's so healthy". Healthy food does not need to be this boring. Also last time I had to have an adult conversation beside a mother and two children. She spent the entire meal giving me evil looks because the cafeteria style seating is so overcrowded. read more

healthy asian food. but it is a bit over priced for the fast food feel of the place.
