Ordered miso COD soba and got a salmon dish despite the receipt even saying miso cod soba. It was tasty but the miso cod soba is absolutely delicious. It was more than disappointing, and the restaurant doesn't pick up the phone when calling.
Wagamama 100 W. 55th. St. New York, NY 10019 Chicken Teriyaki Donburi Spicy Salmon Teriyaki Soba My brother and I dined at this restaurant in midtown. The plates looked quite appetizing and the chefs clearly paid attention to detail when preparing this meal. Chicken Teriyaki Donburi: While the entree looked like a large serving, it was primarily the side dish as the main portion was small; this is a catch-22 because the chicken tasted rather bland. Although, the over easy egg did add some flavor to this plate. Spicy Salmon Teriyaki Soba: Unfortunately, I cannot acquire a taste for this type of fish. Although it was loaded with soba noodles and greens, the protein is not my preferred choice. Aside from mediocre food, the overall service was far from stellar. First and foremost, the server did not bring me a spoon. He also would not refill our water glasses. For these reasons, I had to get the water and utensils myself. We noticed how he showed favoritism toward another party because they ordered cocktails; he didn't forget about their drinks. Our plates didn't arrive at the same time. My brother's fish was served 10 minutes later. While the food looked fantastic, the taste and service was at the opposite end of the spectrum. Unfortunately, there won't be a next time because I can dine in Chinatown for entrees that taste better and are lighter on the wallet. #wagamama #wagamamamodtown #chickenteriyakidonburi #spicysalmonteriyakisoba
Pros: great food, beautiful decor, delicious cocktails Cons: ramen could use more broth Delicious ramen and great cocktails! Honestly, I should have known better because wagamama is known for their high quality food. I got the tantanmen and the beef was delicious! My only criticism was that the noodle to broth ratio was slightly off. Not enough broth and too much noodle. I asked for a side of kimchi and it paired so well with that ramen. I honestly think they should just put kimchi on the tantanmen. The Thai chili marg was sooo yummy and quite strong tbh. I loved addition of the coconut syrup. There are loads of vegetarian and chicken options, so it's great for anyone who has a vegetarian friend or a friend who only eats chicken. The restaurant decor was beautiful and spacious. The service was also great too.
Was craving some curry and katsu and this place did not disappoint! The lake I wanted to go was about a mile away and it's almost 100 degrees so found this place much closer with decent reviews so came here. Staff was friendly and attentive... curry was tasty and katsu had a delicious crunch and the side salad helped me feel good (about eating veggies) and the warmed corn nuts they dropped off before my food was complete was a welcome surprise! I'll be back soon hopefully
Located in midtown, this restaurant is a solid option for a quick corporate lunch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. I was told that the ramen wasn't very good, so I ordered the pad Thai as my main. It was okay! Not bad, not great. I think it lacked a bit of flavor, but overall not terrible. The edamame was good, and so was the crispy rice tuna! The waitress was really friendly, as well. I sat outside, but the inside of the restaurant looked comfortable, too!
I went here yesterday with my family for lunch for Father's Day. We had the Chicken & Beef Potstickers for our appetizers. I had the Backyard Sliders with Togarashi Fries & Lychee Sangria. My mom had the Spicy Salmon Teriyaki & Lychee Sangria. My brother had the Chicken Katsu Curry & Japanese Latter. My dad had the Chicken Pad Thai & Malbec. For dessert we had the Chocolate Trilogy Cake. The ambiance was fancy casual. And the staff were very friendly. I will definitely come back here again
Stumbled across this on one of the options for restaurant week-- it did not disappoint. The service was quick, attentive & friendly. The place itself was chic, romantic yet not too fancy-moderate with a dab of "wear your best casual dress." The jasmine tea was quite wonderful, don't leave it too long in, the more bitter it'll get. We go the bao buns for appetizer & spicy ahi (kind of like a crispy rice) and we enjoyed both of them. I must say the spicy ahi had a very spicy Thai chili pepper on it so that's something to look out for. I got the spicy salmon, which came with these yummy noodles, seasoned so well. My friend enjoyed this "curry avert gar'" she notes that it was very filling and fresh. The chocolate cake had a acquired taste to it-like a Ferraro rocher mixed with chocolate chips and surprisingly the tempura banana was so good Can't wait to come back one day to try everything else
This place was so cute inside with a great menu that has something for everyone. The dumplings had great flavors, the ahi tuna poke was pretty much what you expect of a poke bowl and the wagyu soba was also very good. The chicken katsu was probably one of the best I've had in quite some time. Would definitely come back.
This is a great spot to stop in the city! While it's Asian fusion they do have options for pickier palette. The service was good and our waiter was very helpful with recommendations. The restaraunt is clean, in a great location, and not too fancy for us tourists to stop at. Not my favorite food taste wise, and my sliders were a little soggy.
I always have dinner here with family and friends when seeing something nearby. I never have had poor service or bad food. Literally EVERYTHING on the menu is delicious. Standouts for me are the ahi tuna nachos, the miso cod soba, and the Tokyo fries! I had all three tonight on my most recent visit so I'm attaching photos. Those Tokyo Fries-OMG. I dream about them. So unique and delicious. It's a huge restaurant and bar so hardly ever difficult to get a table. Plenty of seating. Literally the only drawback is the narrow and steep staircase downstairs for the bathroom. I wait until we get to whatever venue we are going to next to use the bathroom.
Robin was our server. She was very kind and we appreciate her very much. We made reservations through open table. We arrived at a good time 4:30 ish. An hour later, the restaurant was crowded. We started with appetizers -gyoza - five tasty dumplings steamed with chicken -chili calamari fried squid. shichimi spice. chili + cilantro dipping sauce Both appetizers were tasty. The calamari was prepared differently than I was acustomed to but it was flss as Vergil and delicious. We ordered the following.. -kare burosu / (vg) vegan hero shichimi-coated tofu. grilled mixed mushrooms. chili. udon noodles. curried vegetable broth -chicken teriyaki donburi * grilled chicken. teriyaki sauce. sticky white rice. seasonal greens. carrots, scallions, kimchi. sesame seeds -wagamama salad tomatoes. cucumber. asparagus. radish. seaweed. pickled ginger. pickled carrots. citrus ponzu. miso dressing. noodle Presentation was nice. The food was good. Vegetables were fresh. The only thing I wasn't too Keen on were the drinks. Very tart and not balanced.
What a great place! pan-Asian favorites at a casual, upbeat reasonably priced restaurant in midtown. It's great for families and larger groups. Casual, upbeat and very satisfying.
My hosts Meilani & Virgina were amazing! Attentive and caring. It's so nice to have waitresses willing to have a conversation separate from the fast-pace of NYC. I came at 5pm on a Monday and it was not at all packed. There are many workers stationed around the space so I knew I would've been taken care of regardless. The beer nuts were fresh and warm, & the Backyard beef slider was delicious!!

We went here for a late afternoon lunch. It wasn't busy at that time and we were seated right away in the spacious dining room. We ordered the pork potstickers appetizer, my wife got the ahi tuna bowl and I got the miso cod with green tea soba noodles. My wife really enjoyed her bowl. And my cod was perfectly cooked. The green tea soba noodles were deliciously savory. I'd order this dish again. The only disappointment was the potstickers. They weren't cooked correctly, really they were overcooked and all the wrappers were broken open. We let the waiter know he was great. He apologized and agreed they hadn't been cooked correctly and he took them off our bill. We'd go here again. read more

I didn't realize that some Wagamamas are much better than others. This is a good one! Great location and the food is amazing. Yummy comfort food but with some other really good stuff like the Thai Chili Margarita (absolutely a stand out!!) and the ahi on crispy rice. The noodles in the ramen are perfectly cooked and the service is attentive and friendly. We visit anytime we are in NYC. It's a chain we love! read more

Super good food and amazing ambiance in Midtown Manhattan. Delicious flavor, superior service!! One of my favorite meals was eaten in this restaurant on my first trip to New York! read more
When it's just too easy to eat. First of all, and this is the hill I'm standing on, Asian cuisine hits different (notice how I can't quite bring myself to say it's the best)! Yeah I still standing. Now that you're listening, Wagamama is just easy Asian cuisine. Not fine dining, but not fast food or casual dining. The ambiance and finish of the food makes it something in between, where people who can afford to eat a $100 plate go for a quick bite for a decent price. The service is always wonderful and there's something for everyone (if you like Asian flavor profiles). read more

It was my first time eating at Wagamama in midtown, NYC and I so loved the food. So loved the fried chicken Korean bao, karaage chicken bao for appetizers. And for my entree I had their chicken teriyaki donburi grilled served with chickenteriyaki sauce, sticky white rice, seasonal greens, carrots, scallions, kimchi, and sesame seeds that was super filling and so darn delicious. Highly recommend coming here for lunch or dinner in a group to have a shareable taste of just about everything. The atmosphere was so welcoming and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. read more
Stopped by for takeout. This review is just for the vegan ramen to go. The vegan option is spicy and the spice level cannot be modified. So the server suggested replacing with vegetarian broth and mentioned it still tastes good. It took about 15 min for my piping hot noodles to be ready. I rushed home because the hot food in thin plastic contains that may melt had me worried. As for taste the veggie broth was lacking. No flavor. The tofu is fried tempura style. Also, they use udon noodles, which isn't the same feel of actual ramen. For $20 this was a little disappointing. read more

Service was great. Super nice staff. Thr ambiance is relaxing. Plus they had the Knicks game on..a plus. Lol. The foud. Super tasty!!! read more
Random pick. Great vibe. Open kitchen. Bench or booth seating. Greeted immediately by friendly hostess. Server was pleasant and good service. Food was great! Starter gozya chicken filled. It was gently browned and very tasty. Shareable. Ahi rice bowl. Fab! Seared perfect, edamame, seaweed, miso cucumber, pickled daikon. greens and rice. Great presentation and filling. Beef brisket donburi. Added egg. Nicely spiced. Good tasting. Plenty of non alcoholic offerings as well as full bar. Outdoor seating too. read more
Was just looking for some small plates because we were eating at an awkward time. This place was perfect for that. They have lots of shareable plates to order from. We ordered miso sweet potato baos and crispy rice ahi. Loved both of these and wanted to try more! Prices were okay. Waitress was very kind and the inside was nice and clean. Lots of other plates available that sound good. read more
Stopped in during restaurant week. They had a nice RW special, one sharable appetizer, an entree and a dessert for $30. You could add on selected drinks for $10 extra. We had the bang bang cauliflower (spicy and delicious) and the chicken gyoza. For our entree we both ordered the nama spicy tuna ( basically a tuna rice bowl), that was just OK. The drinks were delicious! Strong with the perfect amount of spice. I had the Thai chili margarita...so good. The space was a nice size and there were a lot of people working. The wait for drinks and food wasn't long at all. All of the staff were really nice and helpful. The floor was a little sticky, but we went pretty late so I'll give it a pass. If I go back, I'd have drinks and small bites and maybe try the ramen. read more

Solid customer service and decent food. The layout is definitely relaxing and simple. Would recommend if trying out new fusion restaurants! read more
Perfect for a quick lunch. Surprisingly no wait, we walked right in and got seated. Love the interior. Very clean, modern, & minimal. We did the bang bang cauliflower (sauce on the side) since they said it was spicy. A few orders of the bao buns (Korean fried chicken, pork bellly, mixed mushroom). All were okay. I enjoyed the pork belly one the most, it came with a panko crusted apple, so it was a nice balance. The calamari was also good. FYI: They'll offer still or sparkling water (bottled & at a cost)... but you can ASK for tap water. Pricing was reasonable. Great service. Good food. read more
A few friends and I visited the midtown location on a Sunday evening for dinner. It was easy to get a reservation around 6:30PM and it wasn't too busy when we arrived. It is a nice large space. We ordered the "a taste of wagamama" menu. The food was fantastic! And it was even more fantastic for the price. The tasting menu includes 4 dishes paired with 4 "sips". We enjoyed all of the food. The korean fried chicken boa was a nice crispy even with all of the delicious sweet, smokey and slightly spicy sauce. We were really surprised at how much we enjoyed the mixed mushroom and panko eggplant bao. The katsu and yaki soba were solid and was a really good portion. We had a few more drinks afterwards, but were more than satisfied with the quality and amount of food. I would definitely come here again for the food. Unfortunately, what fell short for us was the service. The service was extremely slow and we noticed each server was texting on the floor every time we needed their attention. Also, it was odd how the food and drinks came separately. We were warned that the food would come in an irregular cadence, but we expected the sake parings to come with the food. Instead, the sake pairings came all at once and we were told to taste the sake in a different order than how the menu was listed. The edemame and blossom cocktail were listed together on the tasting menu and were the only food/cocktail that came around the same time together. read more

For a quick lunch, this hit the spot. The space is cute, with tons of windows, with an open kitchen adding to the ambiance. The staff was friendly, but not overly crazy, which was nice when we weren't looking for a high-touch environment. The food was all good - nothing crazy - but good enough to go back and try other things. The gyoza & pork belly bao were both quite good. I wish there was a bit more pork on the bao, but the fried apple really made a different type of taste and texture. The pad thai was a lazy decision since there was a full day of walking ahead of us. Honestly, it's not my favorite version. The mint addition was interesting but messed with the overall flavor combinations leaving it a bit lackluster and with an high mint flavor instead of the peanut combo. read more
Since it was so cold out tonight we were all in the mood for some hot soup and noodles so we thought we would try wagamama's in the midtown area. My husband and I ordered the pork belly baos for an appetizer and the chicken gyoza soup with udon noodles and the spicy chicken with ramen noodles. The pork belly was nice and crispy and the bun soft and chewy. I only wish it had a sauce on it or at least on the side, like a hoisin sauce, as it would have helped to enhance the flavor profile. The soups were good but nothing too special. I did like that you could substitute the ramen noodles for udon noodles. All in all a decent meal but not the best udon I've ever had. read more
Came with coworkers for a group dinner. The place is big & bright, almost feels like a fast casual spot. I kept thinking dim the lights. Play better music. Our server was kind, service fine. Everything felt rushed. Appetizers arrived before drinks. Drinks trickled out one by one. Entrees came while we were still eating appetizers. Again the entrees slowly trickled out one by one as opposed to all at once. Apps - Gyoza fine. Bang bang cauliflower no bang. Tokyo fries l unique and so good! Def a winner. I ordered a new menu item - short ribs ramen. It was ok. Hoped the short ribs would fall apart easily as it was kind of hard to eat with chopsticks. Broth was good though. My cocktail was a spin on a spicy margarita, wasn't spicy or strong - but very sweet. Meh. For dessert we ordered the Matcha cheesecake was delicious! Also had a tart and chocolate cake. Again those were fine. Can totally skip. Overall fine. Nothing to rave about. Entrees around $23 and cocktails $14. Realized at the end they are a world wide chain. read more
