First time here and we were very impressed from service to the quality of food. The staff and manager was accommodating with our requests. Our food was delicious and came out in a reasonable amount of time considering it was a busy Saturday dinner service. We love the friendliness of the staff and the light vibe of this place. A perfect place to meet with friends and family. The menu is vegetarian friendly as well. We went the second time within the week and the second visit was even better. Food remained consistent. The manager during lunch was just the best. We will spread the word and definitely coming back whenever we are in the area. read more

Wagamama in Back Bay is a solid 4 to 5 stars--the food is excellent, but the prices are on the higher side. That said, the chicken katsu curry is the best I've had since my trip to Tokyo in November--perfectly crispy, flavorful, and absolutely worth it. If you're craving a high-quality take on Japanese comfort food in Boston, this spot is a great choice! read more

Wagamama never does you dirty. Well, it may cleanse your bowels but I'll tell ya it is worth it. The food here is so good for the price you are paying and the cocktails are honestly great. The bao slaps, I could eat 10 of those crispy rice ahis, and that ramen on a rainy day was just what I needed!!! read more

This place was okay. Went on a recommendation from my daughter's friend. We ordered two pineapple boba drinks which were kinda of a mess. Taste was kinda bland. Kept spilling for some reason everytime I drank it. It was filled right to the brim. The straw was overflowing with the drink everytime I finished drinking. Daughter liked the Korean beef bao bun. Near sliced real thin. Not much filling in that one. Sliced mushroom panko eggplant bao bun had a lot of filling but needed more flavor or sauce. Hubby thought poke bowl was nothing special. He thought they didn't know how to make one. He was hungry and not picky and finished it. Daughter thought her porkbelly ramen was okay. Hubby thought my spicy tantanmen beef brisket ramen was better. Wasn't too spicy. read more

I was visiting Boston with the lady and her family. While at the Prudential Center, we felt the hungers and wagamama looked like a good option. I got the Chicken Pad Thai and the lady got the Pork Ramen. The Chicken Pad Thai was good, if a bit average. The lady said her ramen was too salty. The service was quick and attentive. The food arrived quickly after we ordered. The ambiance was a modern Asian fusion vibe, I enjoyed it. Overall, wagamama is a good place to get lunch, but I wouldn't go out of my way just to visit. read more

great food, the service was fast. i believe our servers name was stephanie and she was very attentive, friendly, and funny!

It was okay, I am not sure if it was an off day but for me it wasn't anything to brag about. I like spice so I was a bit disappointed there weren't many spicy spicy options. read more

Satisfying Asian food in Prudential! The atmosphere and seating is well arranged and the vibes are perfect for family and friends or even solo dining. The service is fast and super friendly. I like that there is an open window where you can see your food being served and when it is ready. The pork belly Bao was so yummy and the panko apple is definitely an interesting and unique piece to it. A very good way to elevate the dish. Pork belly was a bit thin compared to the Bao, so the ratio was not very good. The salmon soba was perfect. Definitely what you expect out of teriyaki salmon and a small kick of heat. I like to eat spicy so it was a subtle spice for me. Well seasoned and good balance of sweet and salty. The ramen bowl was okay. Absolutely not a place to get good authentic ramen. The noodles resembled the same quality as instant ramen. Egg is not marinated enough because you can still see the that most of the egg is white rather marinated brown. The pork belly is better than the Bao actually, it is not as fatty but well seasoned. The lettuce wraps were a good appetizer, not too filling but definitely opens your appetite. Great proportion of filming. Overall, for the price in Boston and the quality of food I support it. I am satisfied with everything here :) read more

If you're looking for authentic ramen...this ain't it lol. I've heard about wagamama before but never tried it. We came here for lunch on a Tuesday and it was incredibly busy as there was a conference nearby. Luckily, we made it there before the rush so we were seated right away. We were a group of 6 and we each ordered a dish, I ordered the chili chicken ramen. They messed up the order for one person in our group, so she had to wait an extra 10-15 mins more to get her dish than the rest of us. The food itself was okay, nothing to be too excited about. Especially when you are familiar with authentic ramen and the usual depth of flavor, this may leave you unsatisfied. The food was meh, service was not great, and as it got super busy with the people from the conference, people were just standing around near our table as they weren't able to get a seat, which was annoying. Overall, I'd say this restaurant is so-so at best. Maybe some of their other dishes are better, but my experience left much to be desired. read more

Ordered spicy beef donburi. The food was okay, ingredients were fresh but just didn't tied well. Too much rice as oppose to the portion of spicy&sweet teriyaki sauce and the beef or other veggies. Also felt it's a bit pricy ($17)considering the small portion of ingredients besides rice :( read more

the food was very good. I got pork bao grilled, duck ramen, and chocolate layer cake for a restaurant deal. the service was okay, but the dishes were all coming out at different times (we got one of the deserts first, then 2 of the entreees, then the appetizers and drinks). if getting 3 courses, order at separate times. read more

Lovely fast casual spot. Even on a Saturday night this spot was busy but not too hard to get into without reservations. They have a large space and great food for many dietary restrictions. Vegan and vegetarian friendly, although our waiter wasn't too certain about allergen cross contamination (specifically for someone with a but allergy). I ordered the Chili Chicken Ramen, which was mild to moderate spicy, great portion sized, and came with a large quantity of chicken. My friends ordered the Spicy Pork Szechuan Ramen and the Kate Burosu Ramen, and they finished every bite! Definitely a great pic for the cold winter months. read more

First time in Wagamama - Prudential and YOU have to go! Nice spot inside prudential with amazing food. The Katsu Chicken is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The service we received from Axel was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. The manager on duty, Bibiana, so kind and caring. They both made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. You can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. read more

Cafeteria style seating. Busy. Noisy. Hard to find from map. Inside the mall. However the food was good. No part of the ramen was cold and the flavors were there. The place wasn't busy when I went there and got served pretty quickly. The place is clean. read more

talk about ignoring you at a table for 35 minutes until i walk up and ask how im supposed to order... then they tell us they aren't sure if we can all order comfortably at the table? really? after 35-40minutes of. sitting being ignored until i walk over and ask if we can actually order, or maybe have some water? talk about not respecting your customers. the food hasn't even arrived(of course) and i won't be back. suck a disappointment. read more

Great service, Alex was very kind, smiling, his skills to serve was amazing, and also ViViana was aware of how the attention towards us was. amazing experience , food was very good, and ambiance was at point! I'm pretty sure I'll be back to this place. read more

Had a dinner here on a family staycation and everything was delicious. We had a reservation-highly recommended- and got seated on time. The waitress apologized that the place was slammed and said we might need to wait, but the food came out quickly. They were out of bao buns, but the edamame and gyoza were delicious. We had a shrimp yakisoba, chili chicken ramen, Shu's chicken rice bowl and chicken teriyaki. Everything was fresh and delicious. The yuzu cocktail was yummy too. Definitely planning a trip back. read more

Our party of 4 was seated right away and a long wooden table which can fit 3 party of up to 4 people as the benches separates the party or you can have a party of 12. it was around noon-ish and the restuarant had tables with customers already. There is a menu w/ drinks/cocktail menu includes, kids menu and on the paper place mat lists the cocktails. We ordered the kids food first and ask the waitress to give us a few minutes to look over the menu. The following was ordered: 1. 2-kids meal - rice and grilled chicken. Pls note that curry sauce comes with it so we asked for it on the side. It came with thinly sliced strips of cucumbers, shaved carrots and corn. My 8yo loves the chicken and curry sauce while I asked for teriyaki sauce on the side foe my 6yo. It worked out well 2. Edamame with chili garlic salt I thought it was different to try but it was nothing special. Also, I think they may have forgotten to sprinkle the salt as it was very bland. 3. Chili Calamari I love squid/octopus and this appetizer was great! The sauce that came with it was not expected but it paired very well with the calamari. 4. Grilled Duck Ramen My husband says it was good. Duck was soft and came apart easily. However, broth slightly on the saltier side for us. 5. I initially wanted the Short Rib Beef Ramen, but it was not available so I asked the server what she recommends and it was the Tantanmen Beef Brisket Ramen. The brisket is a lightly sweetened BBQ flavor sliced in thin strips. It was very good but broth is slightly on the saltier side. I like spicy food so I asked for chili on the side and that made my ramer even tastier. My husband had the Buddha beer and I had 2 cocktails (Blossom and Thai Chili Margarita). The Blossom was very delish and the alchy was definitely there. The margarita did not live up to its name being Thai Chili as I barely tasted any spiciness but it was still good and the alchy was there. Sometimes cocktails lack alcohol so I definitely enjoyed the drinks. Service was good and our server checked on us often. Plates were removed and water was refilled as needed. Will definitely return next time I'm in town to try other items on the menu. read more

I'm honestly not impressed. Their ramen is seriously not good, I remember it being very "average", and expensive (although their portions are HUGE). I've also tried other dishes like their rice dishes and thought they were very meh. There are definitely better Asian/Asian fusion places for cheaper prices in the area. read more

Saturday night and no management to be seen! 12/17... Staff was a disaster, waitress had no interest in taking our order and left without letting us know, had to ask for someone to take our order and to get the check. Cooks were super loud and swearing in Spanish, I couldn't believe the way the staff was acting it felt like I was in prison and the inmates were running the jail. MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO GET ON THIS ! Poorly run business. read more

Ramen was not very great and had very little flavor, I expected a lot for a restaurant in the pru but was incredibly disappointed. I also think their other noodle dishes weren't special nor flavorful, I don't recommend this spot for a quick meal, there are so many better places in the area. Portions are small for the price too. read more

The food was excellent. Axel did an amazing job and was very accommodating with our large group. Highly recommend.

Food was pretty good but the service that day (2+ servers for our large party) were ALL slow and terrible (in hindsight likely mainly experienced): didn't remember who ordered what and at times didn't know what dish they were bringing to us!! Ambiance: a bit too corporate. read more

A great place to stop by for lunch or dinner inside the mall. There is plenty of seating available inside and outside (inside the mall). We opted for a booth table. The staff tended to us right away. We ordered the Korean BBQ beef Bao and crispy cauliflower for appetizers. They were both tasty but the meat was a bit on the dry side. Really enjoyed the cauliflower and would love to to lessen how to make it. It was crisp but not oily, with the proper mix of spicy and sweetness. For the main dish we ordered the ryokucha soba which is served with two miso glazed cod fish. The fish was just lovely and tasted so soft and buttery. The soba was flavorful and prepared right. It was a bit on the salty side and would have liked it a bit less salty. The other entree was the short rib beef ramen. The beef was so tender and tasty, you could easily make it fall apart with a fork!! The ramen was perfect and we really enjoyed it. If it wasn't for the dry Korean beef and the salty soba, I would have given it a solid 4 stars... There was also a change of staff in middle of our dinner which made it for a bit of wait and no server checking up on the food... read more

TLDR: solid meal here, try the elderflower + ginger cocktail Was passing by and saw this place. I love rice bowls and their duck donburi didn't disappoint. Waitress recommended the vegetable tempura which was great. My wife and I split the entree and appetizer which was perfect for a meal, though she doesn't eat a ton. The elderflower and ginger cocktail is a perfect summer cocktail and was light and flavorful. Going to have to come back again! read more

I was expecting more from Wagamama. I thought the food was ok but really not much more. The Gyoza was great but all the rest was pretty average. I do like the open kitchen, I love sitting close to the kitchen and watching the kitchen staff work. I remembered Wagamama to be a lot better so not sure if it was my taste that changed over the years or their dishes but the curry was not as good as I remembered and I tried some of the Bulgogi beef and it was just ok as well. So definitely not bad but also keep in mind it's not cheap read more

I am not one to complain...but here we go y'all..here we go. The only reason this is getting three stars is the ambiance inside and the gyoza. For the price and the smiling faces of those inside the location when I arrived, I felt that I would have good food and a good experience. I ordered my food to go and they let me know that it would be ready in 10 minutes so I waited patiently. I heard the cook call out my order so that they would package it up and bring it to me. The restaurant was no longer busy but it took them 25 MINUTES to pack up my order after I asked about it twice. One. I ordered the Teriyaki Donburi and this was not good at all. Just not good. The only only ONLY saving grace of this experience was the tasty and perfectly steamed chicken gyoza. You never let me down, gyoza. Go with caution friends. read more

Great food! Axel was very friendly and attentive! I always enjoy coming here and highly recommend the katsu curry

Not a big fan nor got a good impression of wagamama, but it's OK. We always wanted to try while browsing shops in Prudential Center. The restaurant is pretty large with long tables and benches, so you might be sitting pretty close to other diners. The menu is pretty extensive though, offering a lot of options for lunch. We started with 2 orders of bao and I'm not a fan. They are not worth the money (2 for $8) because you don't get a lot of filling. I like my bao overstuffed, thank you. One slice of pork and one slice of apple just doesn't cut it. Tori Kara Age was eh. My wife and son had the Ginger Chicken Udon and Chicken & Shrimp Yaki Soba. It did not look like soba to me and both looked like udon noodles. Tasted OK though. Their saving grace was my wagamama Ramen. It had decent amounts of shrimp, mussels, chicken and sliced pork in a decent broth and noodles. Luckily, I did not leave hungry or this review would have turned out a lot differently. Note: A new wagamama is set to open on 39th St and 3rd Ave in Manhattan. We pass it almost every week coming out of the Midtown Tunnel. They must be having a hard time getting it up to speed because that step ladder has been in the window for months. If the stars align, maybe we'll try it out for another chance. read more

Service was pretty bad. They messed up our drink order, forgot our appetizer, then gave us the wrong entrees three separate times. I mentioned this to our waiter and he seemed indifferent about it. After paying, I realized I was over charged for my juice (paid for a large when I ordered a regular). I wasn't going to bring this up as it was only a $1 difference, but it was the final grievance that pushed me to write this review. Won't be returning. read more
