Japanese food. the ramen was good and spicy. The service was fast and good. Pleasant atmosphere read more

First time we tried this restaurant was in Scotland and I thought it'll be just ok since we were in Europe but since I've tried so many ramen we just need to try this and it didn't disappoint, it was really good and comforting food. We tried it again in Heathrow airport in London the door was really great and also nice staff. read more

I really (really!) like Wagamama and I was delighted when this particular one was announced, as it's very handy (too handy?) for me. My first experience at this venue was a couple of months ago when my cousins and I got takeaway. Wagamama takeaway is a freaking REVELATION in takeaway food, as they clearly put a lot of thought into how they parcel things up, and it all travels really well! Let's take for example the one and only chicken katsu curry - the chicken and rice sits in a plastic bowl, while the curry sauce itself fits neatly on top, within the same container in its own wee half-bowl, so your chicken katsu doesn't get all soggy! YES. Out for dinner with my cousin the other night was the first time I'd sat in here and it it a really nice place. The staff were very friendly and we were really well looked after. After perusing the menu, my cousin decided she would like to try something new and as such, informed me that the staff would need to get "The Folder". The Folder being their neatly displayed, very easy to read list of allergens for every single dish on the menu. My cousin is allergic to many things including all nuts, chickpeas and lentils, and she's had some pretty bad experiences from the past: "No there weren't any nuts in the korma....oh well we did sprinkle some almond powder on the top" being one of them, thankfully she's not life-threateningly allergic! So places who put this much effort into knowing exactly what's in their dishes are always a hit with her. She happily scarfed down some chicken and prawn Yaki Soba after discovering it was safe, and declared it was possibly her new favourite dish (even more than our beloved Katsu curry!) so that was all good. We'd just been to the cinema and I had eaten a decent amount of popcorn there, so I opted for a couple of sides instead of a main. One of my very few gripes about Wagas is that the sides are pretty expensive for the amount of food you get - however, the tori kara age and BBQ beef bao I went for were so utterly delicious it didn't really bother me! It's the same with all their dishes, yes some of them are a bit pricier than you might find elsewhere, but I find Wagamama to be consistently good! I'll be back in the not too distant future I'd imagine, gotta love that Katsu curry!! read more

So something s little exciting going on at the fort a little different to your normal fast food by wagamamas would now be my first choice. It's big and bright and the staff are very friendly. Ever time would be a Katsu chicken curry! But now times have change so I opted for the sirloin steak ramen. Now wasn't real ramen but it was very good it was kind of a mash up between pho and ramen. Duck Goya again not totally authentic but very nice this was served with a stick dip that tastes a little syrup like. Not the worst chain joint always rely on a decent Katsu curry. read more

Wagamama - Steak Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Provan Walk, GLG

It's probably the best food place in the fort now. You walk in and it feels brand spanking new. It's bright and there is plenty of room. The decor is pleasant as it always is at this chain. The staff were exceptionally friendly which again is the norm. So all good so far and we move on to the food. Two dishes were selected. First up some duck gyosas with a side of plum tasting sauce. There were lovely, but they were not gyosas, they were more like mini pastries. Good food, but miles away from being authentic Asian gyosas. Mains was meant to satisfy my craving for some top class ramen. Unfortunately it was more medium class. The beef chilli ramen is not bad, it's got a good portion of meat and it's spicy enough, but it's poor in terms of matching the real things. The broth lets it down badly, you can tell there is no substance to it. Ramen stock should be cooked for hours, this seemed liked ten mins. Also there was far to much going on, lime, red onions, bean sprouts.... It needs to be kept more simple and where is the boiled egg!! All a bit disappointing 3 stars. You won't hate it, but you won't love it. Chain food... read more

The wife and I were out at The Fort tonight and whilst walking back to the car, discussing what we were going to make for dinner, we passed Wagamama and that was it! Decision made. We were seated straight away at one of the high tables with a view in to the kitchen and ordered some drinks while perusing the menu. We kind of have a regular set of sides we order anytime we go to Waga, chilli squid and gyoza of some kind, tonight it was steamed pulled pork. The squid was delicious as always and cooked perfectly (the chilli oil dip is really my favourite part), the gyoza was pretty good too, I would usually go for a fried duck gyoza but this was a pleasant change. For my main I was intrigued by the beef short rib ramen but not being a great fan of noodles I asked to change them for sticky rice. Perfect! I don't even know how to put this in to words, the meat was a soft yet juicy, melt in your mouth treat that just slid off of the bone with nothing more than chopsticks to assist. The rice in lieu of noodles was, if I do say so myself, a stroke of genius. Service was extremely quick since we were served straight from the kitchen next to us by the cooks, a rather nice change to the usual chain restaurant style of leaving it under a heat lamp. All in all a very pleasant experience and much better than having to cook on sunny Saturday evening. read more

I wish there was a 3.5 star option for this because we've had a couple of not so good visits to Wagamama at the Fort before, and the price for those tiny bottles of Coke Zero annoys the life out of me, but I'm being generous because our visit this time was lovely. I went with Craig S after nipping to boots for baby essentials and when I told him I was in no mood to cook Wagamama was the easy winner. Third visit was definitely a charm. We were seated immediately at one of the high tables by the kitchen which allowed for some excellent viewing. I'm fascinated watching people cook so this was the ideal spot for me. Dinner choices were sirloin and shiitake salad with a side of chilli squid (which I shared half of with Craig in exchange for a couple of his steamed pulled pork gyoza). I'll start with the chilli squid. It is my all time favourite item on the Waga menu. That dipping sauce is just delicious. Do they bottle that and sell it? Cus if they do I'm buying in bulk! I was apprehensive with the pulled pork gyoza cus I'm not the biggest fan of pulled pork but they were light, slightly sweet and melted in the mouth. Delicious. The sirloin in my salad was cooked rare. I wasn't asked how I would like it cooked but rare is always fine by me. The shiitake mushrooms were beefy and moreish and complimented the steak perfectly. There was a good mix of vegetables in my salad and it was dressed in what tasted like a light hoisin vinaigrette if that were a thing! Super tasty, nice and light and full of texture. The staff were so lovely. Very chatty! The chefs handed us our plates straight over as we were sitting right next to them which I loved! That's service right there. I still grudge paying over 10 quid for essentially a couple of cans of juice each but the food is worth the cost. Now that the settling in period is over Wagamama seem to have worked out the kinks and are putting out decent food. With limited choice at the fort - and all of them being chains - it's pretty close to the top of my list for quick bites to eat while out shopping. read more

Great restaurant, reasonable prices and friendly staff. The food is amazing. Can't beat the firecracker chicken if you like it hot. For sides the Korean steamed buns are brilliant and if you like seafood then the chilli squid is usually great but can be hit and miss at times. Be aware when you order all meals come as they are ready not I'm any particular order. read more

Why is Wagamama so hit or miss? I feel like every time I visit, the experience is a total mixed bag and I just leave feeling a bit meh. So this is a newish addition to the Fort and probably one of the best options there. Inside it's really nice - bright, light and airy and was just lovely on a sunny day. We ordered 3 dishes each to share between the two of us and the food arrived quickly. Almost too quickly - the fried duck dumplings arrived within just a few minutes of ordering which always makes me a bit suspicious! As Austen M said, the pastry on these isn't what I'd normally expect on a fried gyoza and is thicker, like pastry. They taste nice enough though and I'd probably get them again. The chicken steamed dumplings arrived next and were pretty lukewarm/cold which was strange seeing as the duck fried ones were searing hot. These weren't really very good and I didn't want to eat more than one. They now have steamed buns on the menu (I'm pretty sure this is a new addition) so we got one of each - pork and beef. As I said, we were sharing all the food but they didn't give us a knife so we could cut the buns in half and I couldn't catch anyone's eye for what felt like ages. Eventually we cut them in half and they were really good - really nice filling, the buns had gone a little hard but these were probably my highlight of what we tried. The other "meh" dish was the edamame which was absolutely covered in salt - so much so, I had to scrape it off with my chopstick. I like salty edamame but this was just a ridiculous amount. Our bill came to over £40 with a couple of drinks each which for me, is just too much money for such "ok" food. That's the thing that really puts me off Waga - if it was more reasonably priced I'd probably eat here more often. read more

Mega busy as Father's Day and also Tea time - only waited 5 mins after they said possibly 15. Lovely surrounds marble, concrete and wood. Beautiful glass lamp shades with filament bulbs and skinny strip lighting with smoked mirrors and open ceilings with the air con blacked out. Good buzz about the place but sold out of a few beers but they have others they can offer xx. read more

Just back from our first venture into wagamamas at the Fort. It was quiet enough to get a seat with plenty of room and they were very accomodating of our 14 month old daughter. Crayons were handed out after checking it was ok with us and the staff were attentive without being instrusive. My Yakisoba was delicious with a strong ginger aroma and had plenty of kick to it. The Chicken Katsu Curry got the thumbs up from my husband and certainly looked to be the most popular dish in the restaurant. The kids menu is varied with good portion sizes - Molly loved her chicken noodles and edamame beans. Also enjoyed the free green tea! read more
