    Korean Fried Chicken Bao Bun
    Lizeth S.

    Huge location located off of Water Street in downtown Tampa. I think what the menu and what they actually offer are two different renditions. I'm not sure if it's due to budgeting or just incorrectly made, read the following description and look at the food app. "Delicious crispy rice bites topped with ahi tuna, Yuzu ponzu, avocado mousse, chili mayo, Yuzu zest + green onions" None of that is correct or featured. The photo on their website does not match either. True stars of the show: The Bao Buns. It's where it's at. These certainly hit the mark and were quite delicious. Sitting at the bar was better experience my second time here. The bartender was quite entertaining, and the drinks were made correctly. For the price point and for what you receive tho Wagamama is not worth the price point for their final product.

    I've been wanting to check this place out for a few years and finally made it there! It has great indoor and outdoot seating. Wagamama is super stylish, but also casual. It was a nice evening, so we chose outdoors. We started off with a few drinks. I had a Ube Espresso Martini and it was 10/10. Would drink this everyday. Lol. My husband had a fresh juice drink w Calamansi (his favorite fruit). He's still talking about it. We had a few apps including the Tokyo Fries, Aji Tuna Nachos and Chili Calamari. Both were crispy and very tasty. For entrees mu husband had a tofu dish that we can't find on the menu...must have been a special. The reason I'm only giving 4 stars is that my food never came out. We waited over an hour, but they were busy and seemed short staffed. I didn't leave hungry...I was full from all those fantastic appetizers! We will definitely be back!

    We came here after a hockey game. The dining area eventually got very packed, but we were able to snag some bar seating. The bar seating is nice. It's very secluded. It feels very personable. The staff are very attentive to your needs. They're very quick with ordering and delivering the check. The bathrooms are fairly clean, and the drinks are pretty good as well.

    Wagamama was the perfect stop after an evening walk. My boyfriend and I came in craving something warm and comforting, and it definitely hit the spot. The food was flavorful, fresh, and well-portioned great for sharing a few dishes and trying different things. Shoutout to our waiter Steven he was super nice, attentive, and made the experience even better without being overbearing. The vibe was relaxed but still lively, making it an easy choice for a casual date night. Would absolutely come back.

    Wagamama was pretty good when we tried it a few weeks ago! The inside is very casual, upbeat, but the seating is very tight and uncomfortable. Most of the seats do not have backs on them and if you get sat in a booth, it is extremely tight. They tried to sit four of us there and that did not work out, it's really meant for two people! The food was overall very good. I had the chicken Ramen and we also did the chicken yakisoba noodles which was delicious. The drinks were pretty good as well! Our server was very nice when we moved tables, but our original Server was quite interesting. Coming up yawning right away while trying to talk at the same time. Overall, I would come back, but there are plenty of Ramen places to try in Tampa as well so I'm not sure I would be in a rush.

    Great looking restaurant on a perfect location in downtown Tampa. I was really looking forward to it since I had a few friends that had told us about it. Came for lunch with some co-workers and ordered the chicken ramen. I was so disappointed, it had no flavor at all. I'm probably going to give it another try in the future to see if it was a one time thing, but I'm really disappointed. The service was great, no complaints there.

    Wagamama Tampa is just as fantastic as I remembered it being in London. The duck ramen is savory and decadent, and the atmosphere is bright and modern. I love the wide variety of exciting dishes on the menu.

    Always love coming to Wagamama. The food is great, the drinks are great, and the service is great. It's a cool casual vibe compared to other places in the area which is nice.

    Steak Bulgogi & Beet + Mango Juice
    Brennan S.

    Thoroughly enjoyed me experience at Wagamma. First, I love the location. It's located in Water Street- which is a super modern, clean area in downtown Tampa. The food was amazing. My friend and I each got a different juice- which they press in-house with fresh ingredients. I got the Beet juice which was tangy, fragrant and smooth. I got the Steak Bulgogi which was extremely flavorful. The sirloin, chopped green onions, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, brown sugar and rice blended together perfectly. It was hearty and delicious- perfect portion size, too! The service was great- quick, attentive and our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu.

    40. chicken yaki soba and 105. steamed pork gyoza
    Mai L.

    We ordered DoorDash since we were getting ready for the evening and it was ready and delivered a little later than expected timing wise. Food was great. I liked the flavors of the Yaki soba! Lots of food that I shared between myself and my friend and we still didn't finish the whole bowl. The gyoza was cooked nicely and great flavors too!

    Heyyyyyy you guyyyyyys! First time here and here's how it went. We approached the bar corner seats near the window opened up. And we stepped into a puddle. The puddle was peculiar, we didn't sit we advised the bartender. She proceeded to tell us the fridge behind the bar on that side by the window leaks and the overflow drips and creates a puddle. No one attempted to mop it up it was just left and patrons had to step in the puddle to grab the barstool seats. Needless to say that wasn't an option for our part of two-we were redirected to the ramen bar. Please fix the leaky fridge it's very unpleasant. This place has an open kitchen concept all chefs are working to deliver hot food and fulfill all orders, they appear organized and ready for the hustle and bustle as this place gets busy. We ordered the chicken gyoza pan seared they were great. They provide you warm corn nuts while you wait they are delicious very well seasoned a nice touch. We then ordered the udon finger noodles. They were served hot, very ginger forward but bland and not very saucy. Wasn't our favorite; It was a 6 out of 10 overall for us.

    Really nice restaurant in the water st district. It's right across from the Tamp Edition Marriott Hotel. If you're looking for a quick bite in between shopping, this is a great find. Soft jazz music in the background playing. There's so much seating inside which gives an open concept vibe where you can watch the kitchen cooking on top of patio seating to enjoy some sun(it is a shaded area). The food came out fast. Wide variety of asian dishes from bao buns to edamame to rice bowls & noodle dishes. Service was efficient and fast as well.

    Service was courteous and fast. Place looks beautiful for a ramen shop. Belly pork bao with apple was delicious. I am giving 3 stars because the ramen despite the great flavor had a major issue in my humble opinion, both ramen that we ordered was almost cold. Been a japanese descendent and ramen lover, I can say that I was extremely disappointed. But maybe I will give another try because I think it was uncommon.

We went around 12pm on a Tuesday and it was perfect, not too busy inside and not too hot outside so we were able to enjoy the scenery. As for food, we got the 4 pack empanadas from Empamama with two Mother Clucker empanadas and two Fresh Prince ones. We paired the empanadas with the bang bang sauce and it definitely added to the flavor, especially the Mother Clucker. The mother Clucker was an 8/10 for me while the fresh prince was a 7/10. The restaurant also offers a margarita slushy and an apple cider slushy which we had samples of and that was good. We ended up getting lemonade and strawberry lemonade from a different restaurant though because we were just feeling that instead. Overall, I spent about $30 here ($22 for food and $8 for drinks). I really emphasize that this is a casual spot and I would come here for a quick mid-day snack rather than for an entire meal. I was definitely still hungry after but the food was enough to hold me over for a couple hours.

My partner got the spicy tonkatsu and I had wanted to do the "make your own ramen" option. I really wanted wagyu but didn't like the toppings it came with. So I just made my own, though it was very costly to add more toppings, so I just chose 2. Overall, the experience was okay.

The two not so favorite dishes for me were the fried rice topped with fried chicken. While chicken was very tasty the rice was extremely basic. Could have used eggs or other ingredients to elevate this dish. Also the Volcano roll was extremely disappointing. Normally the volcano topping is cooked or (torched) and this topping was cold and very unappetizing. Would not recommend this roll. Overall this place is a hit or miss. Service for our large party wasn't bad and everything came out pretty quickly!
