OMG-I just enjoyed one of the most delicious and flavorful Ahi Tuna Poke Bowls EVER!!! Run, don't walk to try this! It was so delicious. See my photos. The Ahi Tuna was the perfect and proper color it should be. The flavors were SPECTACULAR-WONDERFUL!!! NOTE: WAGAMAMA has added to their menu, since my last visit, so you now have a RAMEN SELECTION, and other yummy additions. I was too full from my spectacular Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl to try the Korean bbq Chicken Wings ($8.95) but, I will definitely be back to try them!! I'll post menu photos so you have an idea of the delicious food choices. (April 2026) My very first delicious bite of Ahi Tuna had a heavenly garlic flavor, it was wonderful, and the sweet green seaweed with rice only added to the wonderfulness. Vertical slices of cucumber, onion and scallion, also add deliciously to my wonderful Poke Bowl. Toasted sesame seeds, too. SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!! Remember to be sure to mix the poke bowl rice as you eat, so that you mix the rice with the yummy sauce that may accumulate at the bottom of the poke bowl. I usually eat a little while, THEN, mix the rice. This was so good, I had to eat, eat, eat, before I could stop to mix. LOL. That sweet green seaweed was so yummy!! A lovely mix of flavors...the garlic, the sweetness....I LOVED IT ALL SO MUCH!!!! When was the last time you enjoyed a dish so very much that you felt like standing up in the restaurant and telling everyone: THIS IS SOOO DELICIOUS!!!! Well, I felt like that, but I didn't stand up and tell everyone, but I did tell the manager, who happen to come to the table to ask how everything was. And I let him know how much I was enjoying the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. He explained why and how the tuna was so flavorful. We had a delightful brief foodie chat. What a joy!! The service is very nice here. I like the atmosphere too. And the music, which is cool; it does not interfere with thinking, or having a conversation. I really like it here . The women's rest room was very nice, and clean, with a Dyson Hand Dryer, so no paper towels on the floor. Yay! Helping our environment, too!! And I like the black and white wall paper, too. See my photos My last visit I enjoyed the Pad Thai, and the same non-alcoholic beverage, " Asian Mint Limeade", from the MINDFUL DRINKS area on the beverage menu. ($9.50) (April 2026). A nice treat! It does have a light carbonation (bubbles). This visit my delicious meal was from the BOWLS SECTION of the food menu, it was the AHI TUNA POKE BOWL ($17.95) (April 2026) With warm, and hot weather on the way, I know I will be enjoying this AHI TUNA POKE BOWL again...and again! If you love good food, good service, and a very cool environment, put this location of WAGAMAMA on your list ! (East side) LOCATED On THIRD AVE, at East 39th Street. There is OUTDOOR SEATING, too, with red umbrellas. See my photos. Enjoy yourself here. Totally delightful. There are several locations in Manhattan. I did not know that. So, the one I have dined at is ON THIRD AVENUE, at EAST 39th Street. Look for the Red Umbrellas outside, at the corner of East 39th Street and Third Avenue. Enjoy!!! read more

Soon as we sat down the lady next to us was complaining to a manager. Not off to a great start. Our calamari arrived barely warm and extremely salty. Some pieces warm others were room temperature. Our waiter never checked back so it was too late to get a fresh order. We did not finish it. The Pad Thai was gross, no flavor and extremely greasy with very tiny pieces of chicken. A very unpleasant experience. This was my first time to Wagamama USA and my last! read more

In 2024 I gave this spot a chance and waited so long that I just left before they made the food. I believe all places deserve a second chance so I mustered up the courage to try this location again. Surprisingly the service was great this time. The waitress took my order within 10 minutes. The food was delivered in a timely manner. The waitress even checked on me to see if I was doing okay. In the end, I left a higher than average tip because I received great service. I won't write off this location next time I'm craving some ramen. read more

Very nice interior, good selection of items on the menu and service was very good. Had Korean bbq meatballs for an appetizer which was very tasty and had a nice dipping sauce. Ordered 2 sliders for dinner - backyard and the teriyaki and they were both enjoyable. Reasonably priced and tasty food. read more

Right next to Orange theory at the corner of 3rd and E39th. Plenty of seating in a variety of ways - bar - two person booths, 4 person booths, high tables, long tables so bring a date or a crowd. Yes it's a chain but the menu is fresh and the food is consistently good. Happy hour bar menu is available at the tables. Also.... Get the crispy cauliflower... you won't regret it. The miso cod was light and flakey, the soba noodles savory, and the others at my table enjoyed thier udon and duck ramen. They often have a prix fix as well - 30 dollars in restaurant month and 38 for valentines. read more

My daughter, an international traveler and foodie, is not all that impressed with Wagamama. I was initially surprised, but returning a second time with a friend, I have to believe there are better places for ramen. My chicken ramen was okay. (I want to be able to describe food as "great.") The broth was a little weak and not enough of it. A good amount of chicken, though. My friend's salmon teppanyaki -- with soba noodles, broccolini, slices of chili and asparagus -- was a better choice. I like the bright and open set-up of this restaurant (though I never want to sit on one of their backless benches.) It's a popular place and likely Americanized appealing to their clientele. While I don't mind returning, I said to my friend who recently moved to the neighborhood, "we've got to try other places!" We'll see. read more

Went to this place with 2 of my cousins. We were welcomed by a host and loved the design of this low profile from the outside but looks fancy in the inside but it's actually a casual restaurant. I was so excited to try the menu and seeing how multiculturally curated it looked. The ahi tuna nachos was a great app and glad it didn't have too much of peanut sauce that makes u get palate fatigue. I also liked the bang bang cauliflower. Loved the crunchiness . I got the chili chicken ramen since it was a very very cold NYC evening and needed a hot slurp. I also liked it but i feel like we can up the flavor a bit more. I want to come back and try their ube expresso martini! Service is also bomb and they deserve a raise for their exceptional service! read more

I came here for dinner on a Tuesday evening with a group of three. They have a large outdoor seating area, but we opted to sit indoors. The restaurant is spacious with high ceilings. They had a fantastic NYC Restaurant Week deal. $30 for appetizer, entree, and dessert, with an option to add a drink for $10. To start, I had the bang bang cauliflower. Loved this dish. The cauliflower were batter fried and quite crispy. They were topped with onions and chili peppers. Very flavorful, with a hint of spice, but not too much heat. For my main, I had the avant gard'n. The seitan was delicious. It was surprisingly savory and meaty. The sauce was slightly sweet and nicely coated the rice. The veggies were crisp and fresh. For dessert, I had the banana katsu. The banana was coated in a thick, crunchy batter. Its flavor was subtle, while the salted caramel ice cream was quite sweet, so they paired perfectly together. Our appetizers and mains came out around the same time, so we were able to eat both dishes together, which was quite nice. Service was fast and our waiter was very efficient. I'd love to come back to try the regular menu! read more

Holy cow - the Thai chili margaritas were to die for! This might be my favorite margarita variant I've had in NYC. The rim has a delicious cinnamon salt rim that expertly compliments the hint of coconut in the drink. 5/5 pitcher! Additionally, I wasn't starving so I had the bar sliders and they were very tasty. If you work in Midtown East area, this a great place to grab a bite for lunch or a drink after work. read more

I have dined at Wagamama's several times over the years, but this was my first time at this location. As I walked in, I loved their dining area appearance, was so stunning, with modern furnish, large windows, full of sunlight. Their menu was same as other locations. We ordered bunch of items like duck and karaage chicken baos, calamari, edamame, bang bang cauliflower and the duck ramen. Food came out at decent pace. Most of the items were good, the baos and edamame specially. Duck ramen never misses, their best dish. But the cauliflower didn't taste good. The chicken in daughter's kids meal was also dry. The service was excellent. They gave coloring paper and crayons to the kids. We got few drinks that were well made. Overall we had a wonderful lunch at this location. read more

Good happy hour!!! They have food options included which is so so nice. They got these pork buns which are alright, enough to satisfy the cravings. I'm not a fan of their dumplings tho. read more

Trekked into the city and wanted to try wagamama. My kiddo and I love our ramen and other Asian fare so we decided to give it a go. This place was hopping, and it is clear that it is a popular choice for lunch. I love that they have a kids menu, and for the adults they have several options for a lunch special that includes a main and your choice of a fresh juice. I opted for the green juice (nourish-mint) which is apple, mint and lemon. My main was the avant Gard-in. My son got the kids ramen with chicken broth. One thing that annoyed me - I asked my son what drink he wanted to share, he said the nourish-mint. When my drink came, the waiter gave us two green drinks. I would not have paid $8 for a second drink - and really, the waiter should have clarified when I was speaking with my son whether that meant I wanted two. Remember - my drink was included with the lunch special. I mentioned something to the waiter, asking why there was two and he wasn't exactly friendly.... I do love the open concept kitchen and having a table near that, always so interesting to me and makes me feel more comfortable dining in an establishment where you can kinda see what's going on. I thought my dish was just o.k., nothing amazing. I would definitely try something different next time. My son loved his though, and I will say - even though that extra drink was $8 it was sooo refreshing and delicious, though a bit sweet. My son LOVED that drink as well. When the bill came, you can swipe your card at the table. Of course, the default tip is 20% and I always find it a bit awkward that the waiter/waitress is looking right at you when you leave your tip amount. I would give this place more of a 3.5, but my son insisted on bumping it to a 4. I'd probably come back, especially for the lunch special. $20 is a decent deal in the city for a meal and a drink. read more

Visited friends in the neighborhood and decided to pop in for lunch. I have been to a different location so I know it won't disappoint. The place is vibrant and chic. Very relaxing vibe. Big space. Hooks close by for your coat and bags. The staff is wonderful. We had a big order and everything came out on time and delicious. I had duck ramen. Love the meat just peel off the bone. The broth is rich, it has a hint of sesame seeds. I like it but if you are allergic to that make sure to check with the staff. read more

I must say I really enjoyed myself here . I always walk past this place but today we decided to ... not ! The staff were so friendly and our waitress was extremely knowledgeable and kind . The food was delicious. Besides the fact the place was freezing, I think I would come back here - 4 stars because even though they moved our seats to a window where there was sun ... it was still freezing in there ! read more

I was so so so sooo happy to see a wagamama in nyc. I was a frequent wagamama visitor in Boston. Then I moved to Chicago. No. Wagamama. My uber driver laughed at me when I squealed with delight. When my friends wanted a recommendation for a late lunch I happily recommended this place. Welcoming ambience and nice staff!! We enjoyed the happy hour menu. It was so nice to eat their delicious Gyoza and edamame again. Oh the happiness. Franchise masters please please come to Chicago. read more

First time at Wagamama and I'm in awe with this place. There's a ton of options for people with all types of dietary needs and they're all so amazing! It honestly feels like the Cheesecake Factory of Asian food and I wish wagamama was a bigger chain. The drinks go crazy. There's a ton of options to choose from. I went with a nourishing green juice and since it was my birthday I got a shot on the side. I was a lot of fun. My friend was veggie so we split a bang bang cauliflower which was crispy, crunchy, and flavorful and we split an udon noodle soup which came with extra broth at no charge and some noodles, so it ended up being perfect for 2 meals. They surprised me with a chocolate cheesecake and some ice cream to finish off the night and I was so surprised to find that the cake was DELICIOUS. I had such a great time here! For what I thought was going to end up being a casual night turned into such a fun one. read more

Let's start with the space, which was spacious and beautiful. The natural wood elements were so tasteful. Even the bathroom gets a thumbs up... nothing special, but clean and aesthetically pleasing. Now let's focus on the service, which was more than great. It wasn't particularly busy given the time of day, but the two servers alternately made sure I was good... I like that! Now for the food... I kept a star to myself because all of the chicken dishes, except for a salad are made with dark meat, which has never ever appealed to me. Now for the yumminess... I ordered the Wagamama fries, which were crispy shreds of sweet potato topped with the most flavorful, tender (butter tender!!!) Korean barbecue beef, cilantro, sriracha, and Japanese mayo. Such a treat for a light afternoon meal. I couldn't finish it, but it was so delicious. I'm not a big steak eater, but ordered extra beef for later lol. I also ordered the Blossoming Jasmine tea. It came in a clear decanter/teapot, and to my surprise, it really bloomed! In stages at that. It was tasty, fragrant and another highlight of my time spent at Wagamama. read more

Think I went here the first time even though I live around here a few months ago with my friends and my niece. I then went back with a bunch of gfs on a rainy day. Overall take is that the food is okay, but it is interesting how they are unable to make a skinny margarita. I personally do not know how I feel about this. Maybe take three will be better? read more

So, I must say, compared to the other 2 locations I've been to, this one by far was my most favorite, not sure if it was the time of the day or the pleasant greeting from our server, but I would certainly come here again! From the moment my friend and I walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a lively, inviting atmosphere. The modern, minimalist decor paired with the open kitchen setup gave the whole space a vibrant, yet relaxed energy -- perfect for a casual dinner or a night out with friends. Though I only ordered from the starts portion of the menu because I have a small engagement to attend, my food was absolutely fresh! The pork gyoza & duck buns were beautifully presented, and for this to be my first time trying duck lol I would like to order another portion of the buns to go please! The soy-like vinaigrette for the dumplings took me by surprise! It was flavorful and very tasty but I did also dip my duck bun in the sauce and it tasted even better! I also ordered the Whiskey Ginger drink which was very, very nice and made perfect! All was delicious & thoughtfully prepared. But last but not least, our server Gus, was top-notch from start to finish. He was very knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and made great recommendations. I've been in retail for some time & HUGE on customer service & I was happy that great customer service still exists and Gus is a walking, living example of that! I hope to see him again on my next visit! But the staff genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do, which added to the positive vibe of the afternoon. As I stated in the beginning, I would definitely come back to this location again! Thank you so much for making my afternoon/evening feel and taste very good! Keep up the great work & service! read more

Dane Navarro was an excellent manager during my time spent this afternoon at Wagamama Murray Hill. He granted me the exact table I wanted, and remedied a mishap that occurred during my meal. The way he quickly corrected the issue that took place, and the way in which he was accommodating from the beginning of my time at this restaurant made for a great experience. Additionally, I would like to thank my waitress Angel for having been a courteous and well-mannered server. She was notably patient and answered my menu questions with an excellent attitude. Her professionalism - along with the leader qualities of the manager is the reason I would return to the restaurant. Thank you, Angel + Dane! read more

I have fond memories of wagamama in the UK and hoped to relive the experience here. While the experience is completely different, I still enjoyed my lunch. I had the Nama spicy tuna and Positive juice for lunch, by myself. I sat at the bar as there weren't a ton of people around. My experience in the UK was that you all crammed into the bench community seating and got to meet new people. This wasn't that same experience, but the food, decor, and service were excellent. The decor is a significant step up from my UK experience. Nicer, but not as much fun. Again, service was great and the food was spot on. read more

He explained the menu with patience, made excellent recommendations, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. His attitude truly made the experience even more special.

Did you guys know there are 3 different wagamama locations in manhattan? And did you know you can go to all three in one day? I did. I had gotten a reservation for midtown but somehow managed to go to the two other locations first before finally arriving at the midtown one. The aesthetic and vibe of all of them is super cute! I got the Szechuan ramen and it was really delicious. read more

Wagamama has excellent happy hour specials--definitely worth stopping by after work! The food leans more toward Asian fusion than authentic Japanese cuisine, but it's still enjoyable. I tried the grilled duck ramen, though it wasn't particularly memorable; the broth was a bit bland, so I'd skip the ramen next time. However, I highly recommend taking advantage of the happy hour and trying the bao buns--they're delicious! read more

Wagamama absolutely hit the spot. First of all, huge shoutout to our servers Osiel and Santiago. They were both fantastic. Super friendly, on top of everything, and just made the whole experience better from start to finish. The ramen was exactly what I needed. Warm, flavorful, and comforting in the best way. I tried both the yuzu and the blossom drinks. Yuzu was super refreshing, and the blossom was sweet and fun (definitely a good pick if you like sweeter cocktails). But the real MVP? The lemon tart. I wasn't expecting to be that impressed, but wow. Bright, tangy, buttery perfection. I would come back for that alone. Great food, even better service. Will definitely be returning. read more

This was quite the experience, from the food to the service to the atmosphere, I enjoyed it all! There are plenty of options, but I recommend leaning into the ramen dishes. I got the spicy beef one which I highly recommend because I believe it added the flavor the dish needed. I always appreciate spacious restaurants at a reasonable price. We wound up also getting the sweet potato fries, and I found them to be to oily for my liking. Try other shareable appetizer plates! read more
