    Savory Duck Ramen
    Edwin S.

    Bold flavours and hip, Wagamama is takes popular Asian styles that aren't quite often seen as a blend together on a single menu served with a Japanese baseline. The concept although great, is hurt by smaller portions and flavours perhaps too strong in terms of use. Taste: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Value for money: 3/5 We had: 1) Chicken potsticker ramen - felt little with a single bokchoy 2) Savory Duck Ramen - duck was cooked well, but there were was an imbalance to my protein ramen ratio, more duck would've been great and the 5 spice that was used was overpowering and charred We had a juice drink as well but served close to $9 bucks, we probably should've gone for the wagatini instead, but we wanted something refreshing. The juice was decent but felt around 6oz in actual drink. Overall it was an okay experience.

    Potsticker ramen.
    Patti R.

    Just lunched here today and have to drop my rating. The menu changed and they are now charging for items that used to be included in the Ramen. I ordered the potsticker ramen and all I received was a very salty broth, noodles with tidbits of cilantro and potstickers. The portion was still big, but mostly noodles and salt. Friends had to pay extra for eggs and bok choy. The order took a while to arrive. We each ordered a ramen dish along with crispy rice tuna. The crispy rice tuna tasted very good. Two of the girls received their Ramen about 10 minutes after ordering it and the third girl received her Ramen about five minutes after. I received mine eight minutes after the third person received hers. My Ramen was missing the snap peas and I requested that they bring me the snap peas. Apparently the kitchen was out of them and instead of offering a substitute they just gave me Ramen with just noodles and my potstickers so I requested that they substituted for something else at no additional cost. I asked for the bok choy and I did receive it and that took an additional 10 minutes to get. They did not charge me for it. I was very disappointed and we will be trying a different Ramen place for the noodle soup. I may still come back here for other items. There is a new Ramen place that opened down the street on fifth Avenue and there is also one on third Avenue that has been on our radar, but since we loved Wagamama so much, we decided to dine here. Well that's changing.

    Duck Ramen
    Edward B.

    Been wanting to try this place again after a couple years. Had the duck ramen and it didn't disappoint. I say try duck ramen if you've never had it or love ramen. The service was quick and welcoming. Prices weren't too bad as well. I'll be back again

    We were heading to Eataly for a shop and lunch which I haven't been to in a year- but the prices were gobsmacking. It was so loud and crowded that I just thought - I don't feel like spending $50 on a pasta dish - so we left and found a wagamama. This is a restaurant I am familiar with from frequenting its clean pan Asian options at th London airport. Here, it was cozy- ask for a table deeper inside in these cold winter weeks- and we warmed up with bowls of ramen - mine was chicken gyoza, a little too sweet but it balanced out with the spicy broth and my husband had the duck - gorgeous leg of duck that was perfectly cooked - and lemongrass ginger infusions . Half the price of Eataly for lunch and very satisfied for a weekend of holiday bustle and shine.

    Stopped in for restaurant week! $30 dinner?! Can't beat that. I had the pork and apple bao buns which lacked flavor but were hot and fresh. I also decided to ditched the apple midway through. The chicken teriyaki donburri was delicious. Hot and fresh, flavorful and perfect portion. The banana katsu was the perfect dessert. The breading/ crust was on point. Service was attentive even though the server switched like 3 times, not sure why. Big spacious restaurant, we sat in a both but the other tables are like picnic tables with no back.

    After reading a few so-so Yelp reviews I was hesitant about this place but we had just left the Harry Potter store in the Flatiron District and wanted noodles! The restaurant was spacious and modern. The upper level with cherry blossoms hanging from the ceiling was gorgeous. We were seated immediately and the waiter took our order for apps. We had the pork gyoza and the bao buns with pork and apple. The fried apple created such an interesting flavor explosion! Really tasty! Gyoza was fabulous! We ordered the chicken gyoza ramen but asked him to make it not spicy. Very flavorful chicken broth and, again, the gyoza was fantastic. This place is a little pricey, but the quality is top notch. I will say the menu was varied but not a lot that suited my tastes. There were only 3 or 4 choices I would have wanted to order. If you have picky eaters in your party, review the menu first. I'd go back if we are in the area looking for excellent ramen and a beautiful environment.

    72. yasai katsu curry

    This restaurant has THE BEST DEAL in the city, I still can't get over it! Ask the server for the pre-fix menu and for $30 you will have a cocktail, edamame as an appetizer, two baos, a main course and a flight of three sakes to go with it. And if you are thinking the quantities are small, you are wrong! The baos were regular size (by the way, the mushroom bao is out of this world - 10/10) and the entree was huge. I opted for the vegetarian option so one of the baos was sweet potatoes instead of fried chicken and for the entree I chose the veggie katsu. For the main course you can choose between yakisoba, chicken katsu or veggie katsu. Our server was very attentive, friendly and made our experience even better! If you eat upstairs they have beautiful decorations. I can't recommend this place enough.

    Spicy Tuna Bowl
    Rebecca U.

    We had a fun night and great meal at Wagamama. I ordered the spicy tuna bowl and it was delicious. We had a couple Kirin lights with Sake. The service was great and the prices are reasonable. I will definitely come back and would recommend to anyone wanting an Asian infused meal.

    We stopped by this place for late lunch after a wonderful youth concert for my friend's 10-yr old daughter @ Carnegie Hall and while it was comfortable, it was a bit disappointing for the price. I. ATMOSPHERE (5/5) - No indecision here - it's spacious with chic if not slightly on the nose "Asian" decor but modern and comfortable for large parties. Definitely good for happy hour type gatherings. II. FOOD (3/5) - Food is where it unfortunately fails, as many Asian fusion places do. - Appetizers (2/5) The bao was doughey with not enough filling, gyoza was too sweet, only chili calamari was crunchy and satisfying. - Miso Cod Soba (3/5, Entree) - Flaky cod was pretty good if not a bit under seasoned with miso, soba was cooked perfectly and enjoyable to eat with the veggies, but could have more veggie to balance out the fish. - Grilled Duck Ramen (4/5, Entree) - Great satisfying broth with a big leg of duck perched on top, this was a winner. Generous meat portion that is well cooked, and nice medley of veggies - especially liked good quantity of chilis and scallions. - Chili Chicken Ramen (3/5, Entree) - Nice broth with a kick, chicken a bit dry but satisfying bowl of ramen - Tantanmen Beef Brisket (5/5, Entree) - What I ordered because I wanted some heat. This was really well done. I appreciated the quantity of brisket alongside meaty mushrooms and the comforting chicken broth with great depth & kick. Definitely thawed me out on a windy early spring NYC day! III. SERVICE (3/5) This is another area they faltered a bit. The place is cavernous, and though they weren't too busy this Sunday, we consistently had to wait for more than 5 minutes to speak to our server which was a bit annoying after the 4th time. Our sakes came out late, and items were too spaced out as a result. Place wasn't cheap, and you're in MIDTOWN... shouldn't you do better? Overall, as I half-expected going in as a discerning Asian-American diner, I was disappointed in Wagamama. It's a chain and an Asian Fusion, so you really can't expect too much I suppose. I think it's great option still especially for stuff like work happy hours and stuff, but I would not want to go here for any special meals or even lunches because there're so many authentic ramen houses strewn around the midtown.

    The food was flavorful and filling! I love the aesthetic inside with the lighting, making it look clean and spacious. They have long table options, high chairs, and booths. The service was alright as I felt like they were rushing me and am not sure if the second floor was available for dining. The bathroom is upstairs and very nice! Overall, I would go back to try their drinks and rest of the menu.

    In a cold winter day you can't ask for any better food to confort you. I sat at the bar ordered a freshly squire Power Juice and gyoza as appetizer. It was light and tasty. Not too doughy. Perfect. Than I had beef brisket Raman. It was the first time I had Raman with kimchi. It was delicious. The meet was tender and flavorful. The broth was light and very satisfying.

    Came here with a large group after a workout down the street in the area. The waitstaff was decently attentive, but could have been a little more in top of our needs as it was later 8pm and it didn't seem too full. However they made up for it with a positive attitude and excellent food. The guests I brought were very impressed with the food and ambiance of the restaurant. We enjoyed the juice combos and a slate of appetizers. Without alcohol the dinner came to around $65/person.

We ordered three dishes that I had either enjoyed before or was familiar with: Wuxi Pork Ribs: The ribs were quite decent, tender and juicy, with a nicely balanced sauce. But there was nothing particularly memorable about them. The menu says the secret recipe has been passed down through generations for more than 110 years, but I found that claim hard to reconcile with what was on the plate. Slow-roast a slab of pork ribs for four hours at 250°F, I can get a very similar result at home. Famous Assorted Bowl: This used to be one of my favorite dishes here, and I ordered it almost every time I visited. Unfortunately, this time it was a real disappointment. The ingredients no longer tasted freshly prepared, well-seasoned, or flavorful. Instead, much of the dish had the bland, slightly lifeless quality of previously frozen food. Even the shrimp in the soup did not taste particularly fresh. Boiled Shredded Dry Bean Curd with Chicken and Shrimp: This is a classic Yangzhou dish and another item I used to order regularly. In the past, the bean-curd sheets were cut into extremely fine threads, with a soft and delicate texture that absorbed the flavor of the broth beautifully. This time was completely different. The bean-curd threads were hard and dry, with the texture of a packaged frozen product, and they had absorbed almost none of the broth's flavor. What had once been a delicate, carefully prepared dish now tasted surprisingly flat. Overall, Tipsy Shanghai used to be a restaurant I returned to for several specific dishes. However, both the quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation seem to have declined noticeably.

The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

It would've been very easy to miss unless you're specifically looking for this place.

Server immediately was attentive and filled my glass with some water. I was originally going to get the Dashi ramen but after I shared I'm allergic to shrimp the server felt it was a bit risky he was very careful so I appreciated that. I got the Tokyo ramen instead and a side of shishito peppers (he also omitted the Dashi JIC). It was happy hour so the appetizer was $7 I/o $8 and I also got an Asahi draft for $8. Ramen was $22. I was very surprised the server even asked about the oil the pork and peppers are fried in JIC of cross contamination - he shared that they use the same batch of oil as frying tempura (but I was ok with that but just watch out if you're like super super sensitive).
