We stopped by here after visiting the Shakespeare's Globe nearby, and it was a convenient choice since it is not far from the Tate museum. The service was fast, and the food was decent. Overall, it was a positive experience and a good spot to grab a bite while exploring the area. Was my 2nd dining experience at a Wagamama (it is a chain) read more

This is a somewhat quick service restaurant you are seated and you order at your seat. The menu it's not that big but seems like he has something for everyone. I got the bold with chicken. It had a big glob of mayonnaise in the bowl which I didn't care for, but otherwise it was good. read more

I said I wasn't going to go to Wagamama, but when we found ourselves looking for lunch after a visit to the Tate Modern, it's exactly where I wound up. On a cold day, the thought of a hot bowl of noodles that was conveniently close won. We arrived on the earlier side, shortly after noon and were immediately seated. This place filled up quickly though, with people waiting for a table within the hour. I ordered the chicken ramen, which reminded me why I didn't want to go to Wagamama. It was super bland. The vegan kare burosu ramen was much more flavorful, with shimichi-coated tofu and wok-fried mushrooms in a curried vegetable broth. I saw several people tucking into curry plates, so maybe that's what one should order, or any of the noodles that are spicy. Wagamama is extremely popular, so maybe I just always order wrong. Hot green tea is complimentary. Payments are made via the app. read more

We chose Wagamama because they were nearby and had a lot of attractive vegan offerings. It was very crowded and noisy, and the seating awkward and uncomfortable (stools with no backs, long tables seating multiple parties), but the service was very friendly. We ordered two dishes and two appetizers; despite the crowd, our food came right up. My ramen was almost entirely unimpressive: udon rather than traditional ramen noodles, so that's a miss right off, and broth that had a sour tang to it. My wife, however, *loved* her food, which says a lot. The appetizers too were hit and miss: the cauliflower was terrific but the gyoza flavorless and mushy. I honestly don't understand the popularity of this chain. read more

This was my first dining experience at Wagama, and it was delicious. If you're used to going up to the register and placing your order, this will be a whole new experience for you. The waiter gives you your own paper menu with all their options, when you make you selection, the waiter circles the meal numbers and they will come out as their ready. When you're done, there is a website you go to, plug in your table number, and pay for your order over the website. If you're looking for recommendations, I recommend their Katsu Curry (Chicken), Spicy Vegan 'Short Rib' Ramen, Chicken and Prawn (Shrimp) Pad Thai, and Korean Barbecue Beef and Red Onion Hirata Steamed Buns. (Yes, I wanted to try a bit of everything.) They're also very sensitive to dietary restrictions and allergies so they can give you a specialized menu or point out what dishes to not get. read more

I'm surprised we don't have this in LA. The apps were delicious (mixed green stir fry and firecracker cauliflower). Our cocktails were refreshing and expertly crafted. The curry was not Japanese style but had a wonderful character of its own. The kids meals were good portions and tasty. We would definitely come again. read more

The ramen was very bland flavored and the I felt like the service wasn't very comforting during my sit down. Overall wouldn't recommend a tourist sitting down here and trying anything from the menu... besides the Coca Cola. 4.0/10 score read more

Average place. Don't know what the hype is about. My Teppanyaki was served with sirloin and tasted pretty good, the problem was that the meat was very tough and hard to chew. It was cooked on the rare side, and again, no one asked me how I liked it cooked, which would have been medium rare, but since it was sliced thin, I though it would at least be easy to eat. Well, my jaw is still sore. The grill duck donburi was more disappointing. There was sand in the veggies (rinse better please), and the duck sucked. From the small portion of duck that was there, it was of dubious quality and poor taste. The tap water was good. read more

Delicious food! Appetizers a bit overpriced and expect to be patient but overall a fine place to visit.

Always great!!! Been coming for years and every time I am in London I stop in. Food was slow to come out but service was excellent. read more

If you don't already know from my Yelp reviews at Wagamama locations, I'm kind of obsessed. Why? Because Wagamama is amazing. They have amazing food. The food is so good. It's delicious. I love it. There are lots of amazing options but since I've had the teriyaki soba I can't stop, won't stop, get it get it. It's soooooo good those noooooodles. And they have extra spicy sauces and soy sauce which is nice. Anyway, at normal restaurants (not the airport) you can change it up a bit. Meaning you can sub fish or meat with vegetables. This time I got tofu and vegetables and it was mighty fiiiiine. Oh Wagamama, I love you so much. read more

Wagamama - Teriyaki soba with a mix of veggies and tofu - Ramen Near Me - London, XGL

First off the place was very busy and very friendly. The waitstaff was great. It was also the only restaurant in London that when I slid my card it asked if I wanted to add gratuity. I thought that was an American thing but I clicked too quickly and didn't tip (might have if I saw it in time). Food: I ordered the beef teppanyaki, and really enjoyed my meal. The beef was tender! It was also medium/medium rare, perfect for me, but they didn't ask. We just walked across the millennium bridge (watch out for death eaters), and this place was right there! Originally we were going to walk to a Korean place with a lunch special but this place was packed so we tried it despite the higher price. My partner got the yaki soba which was yummy as well. The meats and sauces were light and tasty. I didn't feel heavy like I ate Chinese food or something after lunch! Server/environment: Prompt and great service. We were in and out quickly but were not rushed. There is a coat rack but we didn't use it because it was full. It started pouring rain when we were inside. Bathrooms were clean. I also brought in an outside drink, I was carrying it while walking, and they didn't mind. Recommendation: I was craving the soup noodles because it was cold out but didn't feel like ramen (I know, I'm a diva), so I settled on the beef. I'd recommend going here if you're in the area. If I'm ever in New York, I'll try the one out there also. It wasn't perfect, price was a little more than 10 £ per plate but I recommend stopping here if you're in London. Also check google reviews, not many people use yelp in London. read more

Wagamama - Beef teppanyaki; no onions, no curry sauce - Ramen Near Me - London, XGL

Good food, good service. The salmon salad and pad Thai were good. Only drawback was it was pretty hot inside making the whole experience less enjoyable. It seems like most UK restaurants don't have air conditioning and ice cubes, so when it's hot outside (I think it was around 95F), it's pretty stuffy inside. read more

Though all pointed to a regular asian food chain, service was amazing even with a full restaurant. Food is of superior quality for what you would expect from a franchise. It was a very good surprise and will most probably come back. read more

Wandering around before going to the Globe. Had decided what to select but food server Queen Lisa offered something different which she said I'd like more. She had great personality and awesome smile which seemed to suggest I trust her. I did. Was outstanding. Noodles, shrimp, chicken. Don't remember what it was named, but if Queen Lisa says get it: get it. read more

After leaving the Tate Modern we were looking for place to grab a late lunch and since Wagamama is a reputable restaurant with lots of locations all over London and the world, we felt it was a safe bet that we'd get a good meal. The food was good but the service was pretty bad and the bathrooms ( at least the one I entered) were in need of cleaning. read more

Hmm how can I put this.. Was invited to attend a soft launch of this new branch just behind the Tate Modern.. Which as a location is a tad inconvenient to get to.. It was around a 15 minutes walk from the nearest station. We booked as a party if eight however they couldn't sit as all together?? Really? The offer on offer today was a main, side or dessert and two drinks. Our first server was lovely and very friendly, however she failed to mention to us that we must order all our food and drinks before 5pm..and she knew we wanted desserts as only one of is ordered a starters. I ordered a duck ramen, which was very disappointing as there was no flavour at all in the stock.. I had to add lots of soya sauce to get any flavour into the soup.. The ramen was as a tad cold for my liking.. Apparently ramen aren't a good choice for wagamama... Well now i know. We had to kinda argue with the server as to why we should get our desserts which was the white chocolate and ginger cheesecake.. Gosh.. There's no cooking involved.. Just slice and serve.. I must say.. Again.. It's no better than a supermarket cheesecake so I wasn't impressed with that... As we didn't manage to order before the 5pm deadline I never got my second drink.. Which by that time.. I wasn't kern on staying until when they came to collect the sauces the server actually spilt soya sauce down my back ... She wasn't apologetic at all and actually said that cause she can't see it it was OK?? Erm hello I didn't come here for soya sauce to be spilt down my back.. I can't say that my experience would encourage me to return to wagamama.. I would give this place half a start.. However I can't and one star is being generous.. read more

So I was lucky enough to come down for the soft launch and oh the food... Wow so yummy! Starter wise.. I tried the chilli squid, which spicy and so delicious!! The portion is big, so ideal for sharing. I tried out the prawn lollipops and it's basically 3 giant prawns, which when you squeeze the lime on them, are soooo succulent! Totally yum! Main course wise, I tried out the prawn firecracker, which was hot, hot, hot!!! So tasty and spicy... For me it's the stand out main course. I also tried the grilled tuna, which came medium rare and coupled with the quinoa and kale, was sooooo healthy and not dry in the slightest. I was a fan of cucumber salad part, but the rest of the dish was on point! Dessert wise I tried the banana Katsu, which is sooooooo yummy! The banana was fried to perfection and served with the most delicious salted caramel ice cream! It's a dessert you simply can't miss! The service was spot on for my group, served fast and the menu was explained, along with recommendations! For my first try of wagas, I'll definitely be back! read more

Not sure why Wagamama gets a low star rating from other Yelpers because it's absolutely delicious. Sure, it's a chain, but the food is tasty, the ambience is great with a modern decor, and the customer service is excellent. I dropped by this Wagamama location to fuel myself before visiting one of my favorite art museums in the city center of London, the Tate Modern. (The restaurant is right next door to the Tate). I grabbed a seat by the window, which offered a great people-watching view, and ordered the Tantanmen bowl. This ramen bowl was "Chef recommended" and had "korean barbecue beef brisket, served on a bed of noodles in an extra rich chicken broth; topped with half a tea-stained egg, menma, kimchee and spring onions, and finished with coriander and chilli oil." Hands down some of the best ramen I've had in awhile - maybe even this year! I ate the whole thing in one sitting and my belly thanked me. I paired my ramen with a classic Asahi. I was a bit too full for dessert, but got an espresso afterwards. Although that was a bit lacking in smoothness, the great customer service made up for it. Awesome location with awesome food. Highly recommend this Wagamama location if you're in London! read more

Love this place! Went back twice in one week for their chicken fried rice bowl. Friends got the ramen and juices. Cocktails were great! Don't miss out! read more

Restaurant is nice and clean. But not an Asian flavor at all. Not recommend for Asian to try food there..

Good fast-ish ramen and curry spot. Like a high end Pei Wei with sit down restaurant serving style. We all found dishes enjoyed. Pot stickers were good. But we ran into issues with service. Manager was lively helped resolve allergy and service issues. read more

Tasty, but otherwise unremarkable chain Asian fusion menu. Points off for slow and inattentive service, and prices. Convenient, accessible, and consistent experience; certainly not a destination unto itself. read more

Probably my favorite Japanese restaurant. Loved their ramen soup in particular and their fantastic smoothies. I would definitely go there again. read more

Tasted ok but clearly not fresh. If you like eating preservative laden airplane food for 30 pounds, this place is

For Asian Fusion, it is an ok place to eat. Clean, decent portions. Good squid appetizer. Kaarage Chicken not like the type you get in Los Angeles (minimal breading). Steak bulgogi was not true bulgogi but rather slices of steak with no Korean marinade and cooked medium rare-medium on top of yakisoba noodles with a half boiled egg. Still better than the Korean place SuperStar BBQ that I went to earlier tonite. read more

Good food for Asians. Nice services! It's the third time for our family to have meals.

Terrible, misinformed, uninspired, mass produced fake "Asian" food for non asian people who has never had asian food in their lives.
