Very instagrammable plating. Fast, upbeat servers who are multilingual. The food looked interesting, but tasted insipid. The most vibrant tasting item on my combo was the juice. The shrimp gyoza had meh filling in a baked crust. The filling sauce was good once I added togarashi shichimi to kick it up. But it overpowered the gyoza even before augmentation. The ramen looked amazing. The greens on top were fine. Broth was thin and lacked conviction.the huge slices of chicken tasted boiled except for the skin with some spice crust--it was the tastiest thing in the bowl. 2 big prawns--no flavor. 3 mussels (1 did not open) no flavor. Bamboo shoot shavings had flavor--yay! Onsen egg--great texture! No flavor. Everything tasted like it came from a low sodium no spice dietary meal from the hospital. Epic fail in my books. Yet, customers lined up eagerly to dine here. I do not get it. I was so excited to come here and the reviews heightened my anticipation... but I left dejected read more

The Stockholm Wagamama was one of the better ones that we've been to. This branch was located an easy walking distance from Stockholm's Central Station and had a stylish Asian vibe going on. My Warm Chilli Salad with Tofu was excellent and my husband enjoyed his curry dish. The service was prompt and friendly. The only thing I would have changed is turning off the techno remakes of old American music (eg Paul Simon's "Going to Graceland") and having something more pleasant to listen to instead. All in all, Wagamama was a welcome respite from a long day of travel and rainy weather! read more

Great service - always very pleasant hosts. We ordered Salmon teriyaki on fried noodles, and kara age chicken and pork ramen. I remembered The food used to be better. Now they have more competition, and the food taste seemed to be on the decline. The dishes were okay. I will be checking other ramen places. read more

Wagamama is a huge chain in the UK with 68% of their 190 worldwide branches coming in my home country which is why I was shocked to see a store right here in Stockholm's Financial District, fairly close to one of the many entrances to Central Station and the Radisson Blu. Wagamama in the UK is a fairly good brand as they're affiliated with Coeliac UK so their gluten-free selection is pretty good including various types of noodles with many proteins from beef to chicken and more - however at this branch in Stockholm, they couldn't be more affiliated with the majority of branches in the chain in the UK (and even the Netherlands) When I first asked about non-gluten options - the staff member asked me if I could eat soy sauce - I replied "is it gluten-free soy sauce?" and they replied No. I really don't understand why after using basic Swedish and English, they were still unable to help me as despite telling them I was allergic to gluten (simpler than saying coeliac), they asked me if I could eat something containing gluten? Like come on... did you miss my point? Hungry and not wanting to go somewhere else, I sat down to look at the dishes which did not contain soy sauce - still waiting on my server to provide me with a list of gluten-free dishes - she ended up refusing and passed me a vegetarian menu instead which still didn't state what contained gluten - even though I asked for an allergen guide. I called a manager over who seemed slightly more helpful - he explained that all their meats come pre-marinated in soy sauce which is why their only gluten-free options contain gluten soy sauce.... but surely that makes it a gluten option and is pointless? The overall restauraunt used the traditional big tables - meaning they also didn't have wheelchair/disabled access at the awkward high tables. From breaking EU law and refusing to provide me with a list of dishes I could actually eat - perhaps it was because they didn't have a clue what gluten was, as suggested by the fact they asked me if I could eat their gluten-free options which contained gluten? 1* - Avoid at all costs if you have allergies. read more

Super popular Asian fusion chain, but would not recommend if you are visiting and are trying to find that local flavor. For those that love Panda Express or something similar, you'll like Wagamama. But other than that, I would not recommend if you are traveling through the area. read more

Maybe I was feeling a bit impatient...maybe not, but our server didn't come take our order until a good 15-20 minutes after the last of our party arrived. We were ready to order nearly straightaway, but she decided to go to two other tables seated after us and then two more tables, with one table that needed their check split into six. I felt close to dehydration having to wait on drinks. Service was slow AF. They ought to have more servers in one area on a Friday evening! Upon taking an order, the servers write down the number of your specific order on your placemat, so that the runners can place what you order in front of you. They always fail to see what's written and just ask who ordered what, so I'm not sure why they continue to get into people's personal space just to write something down that won't be used. Just stop already, please! It ain't cute or fun and you're interrupting people's conversation. Food comes in waves, depending on which dish is finished cooking first. Apps almost always come out ahead of entrees. We ordered ribs, gyoza, karaage, and squid for apps. I feel that the squid was the best tasting out of all of them. Not at all fishy, fresh, and light. I could probably munch on them all night! The yakisoba was good, as well as the rice dishes. The ramen was quite a disappointment. Not as salty as its NYC counterpart, the broth was good, but the veggie/meat/noodle ratio was off. Whilst veggies and meat are used to complement ramen, the veggies here overpowered the dish. The tea-stained egg wasn't tea-stained and it was cooked to complete hardboil. Sorry, folks, no yolk porn here. For dessert, we got fried banana with salted caramel ice cream and three flavors of mochi. The sesame mochi was good, but I doubt they make it there. Coffee tasted good. I felt it was a bit strong, but two others who got coffee disagreed. I'm just not Swedish. Haha! We spent 1,600+SEK when all was said and done. Taking everything into account, this visit was mediocre at best. It feels Wagamama is hit or miss. If you decide to come, I hope it's a hit for you! read more

Cilantro garnish was yellow. Chicken dry and tasteless. Udon dull. We ordered the ginger chicken udon and the teriyaki salmon sofa. My husband can cook better at home. He is a Westerner. Overpriced for less-than-average wok food. read more

I tried their ramen & two different types of noodles & everything was pretty yummy. The service was a bit slow but to be fair it was pretty busy hour. The only thing that was not very professional of them was that they had an offer on a juice in that week & nobody said anything even though we ordered 3 juices! After the meal when we asked what offer they have, they said on the juice & we asked well, we didn't get any & we found out that was on a kind of juice that we did not order!! And nobody bothered to tell us about it :) read more

Don't know why this place is 3 stars. Ate here 4 times during a week long conference at the Waterfront Congress Centre around the corner. Had the Firecracker Chicken twice and the Samla Chicken twice. Also the gyoza dumpling appetizer. All were extremely tasty!!! These guys are all about sauces. I wanted to lick the plate at the end of the meal. Good service too. Credit cards only. No cash. read more

I should have trusted the other reviews. Mainly because they were right. Let me get this straight - I love the Wagamama concept. I have visited several of them throughout the years and I have always been satisfied. From the minute I walked through the doors at the Wagamama in Stockholm, I got the impression that something wasn't quite right. The servers were rushing around, but seemingly without any effect. One guy actually ended up walking to the register to pay because none of the servers stopped by him - and was then also promptly ignored by three different servers before a fourth one helped him. Also, while waiting, there was no acknowledgement of the queue. No: "I'll be right there." from the servers whizzing by. Since I had been at various Wagamamas before, I quickly ordered once I was seated before my server could disappear on me. The best thing about the meal was actually the Fanta I ordered. My gyoza were overly baked (and turning black at the edges) and dry. My udon noodles with chicken was tasteless and bland. After eating some of the dish I discovered what was missing overall with the dish - it lacked salt or any kind of flavour beyond the ginger on top. The chicken tasted like it had been boiled and not in contact with a wok or a frying pan of any kind - bland. It's a real shame, because Wagamama's concept is good and the food is usually very good. read more

This is one of the larger Wagamama places I visited. We were served quickly so that was good. I ordered Edamama and Yaki Soba. The Yaki Soba tasted ok, but it looked like the noodles were broken in small pieces. I have not seen that before. According to the description it contains chicken and shrimps. I don't know what happened with the chicken but I could only spot one piece in the whole dish. For the rest - the place is nice and had a good atmosphere. read more

Pork ramen was delicious, miso-like broth with spinach, kelp, green onion, bamboo shoots and pork belly. A little expensive for ramen, but it was very good. Fresh noodles, perhaps made there. Nice to have table condiments of soy sauce, chili oil and chili powder mixed with seaweed and sesame seeds. I was impressed, so I went back and tried the Chicken Teriyaki Soba. Mild Teriyaki flavor with sliced tender chicken breast on a slightly stir-fried bed of thin Soba noodles. It was more delicate in flavor than I would have liked, but satisfying. read more

Nice Asian fusion when you have last minute dinner plans and haven't made any reservations. The ramen could've been more flavourful (which was expected) but it did the job satisfying my ramen cravings. I'd give the food a 3/5 but for the service, Wagamama deserves a 4/5. read more

This place suffers from a price - quality (experience) ratio mismatch. Tasty, fresh, good service but too expensive as it has a fast food vibe to it. read more

I liked the place, yes it is a little pricey but the food I had was awesome and according to my friends who had been there before the food is always good. Very well situated right next to Central Station in Stockholm. No reservations but it is big so the chances are the line will move quick. After my next visit I will add more information. read more

It is a very nice alternative to all the lunch places around T-centralen, there are not much of good of them. In general it was positive experience, and all from my lunch company enjoyed their food, but definitely no "wow" effect and it was quite pricey for the regular japanese food. At the same time they have very limited selection of vegetarian food. So-so. read more

Third time this year visting this place and I'm afraid the quality of the food seems to be dropping... The flavors are not as spot on as they used to be and the menu for us needing GF and/or fodmap is a bit tricky but workable. Good praise to the staff that are very knowledgeable about GF. The place is nicely located close to the central train and bus station so it if you are looking for a restaurant with better standard than the fast food places this is a good place to go. But with the standard of the food in this latest visit I'm sad to say that I would consider many other places before going back here again read more

We used to go to Wagamama when we lived in London and I have fond memories of the food and ambience. The food in the Stockholm location holds the same level of quality, but the restaurant lacks proper ventilation and if you don't get a seat near the window, you come out smelling like stir-fry the rest of the day. In Stockholm most restaurants have lunch specials which are usually more affordable. Wagamama has a fixed price menu making it a rather expensive lunch option but an affordable dinner option. read more

Aaaah Wagamama, what to say about you? Well it began with my pregnant wife getting a craving for tofu and we ended up here. Never been a big fan of the place, it looks too artificial and made up. I know this sounds like just another hipster complaining about the "ambiance" of a restaurant and it not being genuine enough but I can't help not liking the place. The staff is friendly but even they look like they've been handpicked to fit the interior and its way too made up facade. But hey, I thought I'd review the food as well. It's good, or rather its okey. I had the pork ramen, and I got a nice big bowl of exactly what I ordered (you won't leave this place hungry). However, it doesn't cut it, the noodles were a little overcooked, the egg as well and a big slap off salad and seaweed is dropped on top of it. Don't get me wrong, it was ok, I was satisfied and my ramen experience was a yelping three star one. The two stars awarded is more due to the fact that my wife got a piece of fish in her tofu soup and when she pointed this out to the waitress nothing was done about it. Sure, she was offered an apology but it was left at that. Wagamama really tries hard to pose as a quality restaurant but it doesn't fit the bill. read more

Well, my chicken Katsu is usually pretty tasty. After going there here and there for 3 years. Though the service (at least once) has been questionable, this time my Katsu was horrid. The curry was cold and solid on top and tasted like the spices had separated out. The chicken tasted like it had been fried earlier and reheated. The rice and the whole dish was only a little warm. I told the server who got Maria the manager who came up and told me she was sorry and asked if I wanted a side dish or something. Now, here's the deal... If I tell you the dish isn't right, ask if you can get me another one and apologize. Asking me to eat something substandard is an insult. I left. No more Wagamamma for me. read more

Nice Japanese kind of restaurant with a pretty interesting menu. I would go for a couple of the smaller dishes rather than any of the main courses. Those are ok but nothing more. read more

NOTHING like the other Wagamama's I have been to! The only thing this place shares is the name, because the staff have NO regard for any customers and food takes abnormally long to arrive, often arriving cold. read more

Wagamama had great service, delicious food, quite big portions and the price is pretty low. We waited for the waitress to take our order for like 10 minutes and then the food came also in about 10 minutes. Would definitely come again. Green tea is included with the food which is a great bonus. read more

This is of course part of a big world wide chain and I expected solid middle of the ground food. There is nothing wrong with the gyoza or ramen I ordered - they just lacked any depth of flavor. And I must say the Asian food in Stockholm is generally bland and toned down perhaps for local tastes. Wagamama then just fits into what the locals like. read more

The food was ok, but for a Wagamama, it's below-average. Ramen noodles were overcooked, wok-fried veges were undercooked. Otherwise, the taste was good. They only take credit cards, and they're located right outside Central Station. Service was friendly and quick. As I have found in past visits to Wagamamas in different countries, the food can be inconsistent. How does McDonald's do it? read more

We had some great, spicy sound and a beef dish. All were delicious with lots of fresh food and spices. We all really enjoyed it. The staff were kind and helpful and environment very nice. Only drawback was that prices are a bit high. But definitely recommend it. read more

Excellent food, not to hot, balanced and well prepared. A lot of different dishes to choose from, even as a vegan. Reasonably priced and in a minimal designed restaurant. read more

Get the chili squid. Generously add in chili oil and the sesame chill spice that they have at your table. Nice everything, honestly

Good ramen, nice place. But paying 180 SEK for a simple bowl of beef ramen is a bit steep. Especially when it's really nothing special, I was even questioning if the ramen might have been slightly over cooked. you can get just as good ramen for 120 SEK in other parts of Stockholm. read more

Avoid! Yikes, not like other Wagamama locations that I've been to. Really rough food here. Liked the ambiance -- maybe worth it for a drink or dessert? Food was just too bland yet too salty (two separate entrees), and given the huge number of choices within two blocks (literally within the train station) -- strong avoid. read more

Great atmospere, great and exciting food plus some entertaining service. Highly recommended. read more
