    Delicious food! Came in and ordered the chicken ramen, but the waiter was kind enough to tell me to try to order something else. I ended up getting the katsu curry, it was amazing!

    We have ALWAYS loved Wagamama since 1996! So we look for them when we can't find Asian food as we know this will be solid fare! At this locations which abuts the Tivoli garden & amusement park (bonus discovery!) we came by Taxi and there really was no one to greet us for some time. Which felt awkward but I think the lack of employees perhaps is real in Europe as well in the US. We finally got a table, I was amazed to see the menu so transformed into items I always wish they had. There were noodle and rice bowls that sounded amazing. My daughter got a Ramen that seemed classic but she was bummed as they used rice noodle like for pad thai? I got my usual Veg. Katsu Curry~most veggies but esp one was SO over fried I could not bite through or identify~but the Wait person did me a solid and tried to have that one over done aubergine re made for me (+). My other child and husband ordered NEWER items (teriyaki Chicken bowl and a Beef Donburi bowl) and fared super happy so, my 2 cents it to order the newer stuff and maybe avoid Ramen as they are not using Ramen Noodles~which Ramen is really a noodle. Go figure. They totally got food to us in a weird backward order as well~ main, sides, then the drinks, but we had to push for them!~was nearly too full for drinks (Smoothie juices there are always SO good, esp while travelng). Could have been just our waitress? as everyone else around us seemed to get their items in a normal order and way ahead of us! So my score is a 2 and 5 combined with the appreciation that a Wagamama was here & half our family was happy. Hopefully, much better experiences for other people! I would just flag the drinks asap~but we really could never find our person.

    We're big fans of the Wagamama chain and were excited to visit the Copenhagen location for the first time. Sadly, the food tasted very pre-made and bland. I got the warm grilled tofu salad like I always do at Wagamamas and it was very disappointing. On a positive note, the location next to Tivoli was excellent and the decor was Asian-chic with great lighting.

    I love me some Wagamama! While this location doesn't seem to be quite as good as its UK counterparts, it is still a great place to get your fix if you are craving their food! First of all you have to understand how it works - big menu, you can order by numbers or name and things come out to your big communal table when it's ready - not in any particular order. If any of those things scare you, then you should probably not eat here. Almost everything I've tried has been delicious, I especially love the Katsu chicken curry, but their Goyza and noodles are amazing as well. Tons of fresh juice options along with alcohol and soda. Toilets are downstairs and are busy but fine. This location operates inside and outside of Tivoli Gardens so make sure you get your hand stamped for reentry.

    Delicious food, great service, cozy atmosphere, recommend. Considering Danish prices, the check did not shock us and we left super full and satisfied :)

    Prawns, edamame, dumplings
    Alyse J.

    This place was definitely good, but nothing special. It was a cold day in Copenhagen, and we were out in Tivoli gardens, so ramen and Japanese food sounded great! We ordered prawns, edamame, dumplings, and bao buns to starts-- all of which were delicious. The ramen I had was the chicken chili ramen. It was good, but like I mentioned, nothing special. I would say it lacked some flavor and it wasn't as spicy as I had hoped. This is a good place to try and definitely worth trying, but I probably wouldn't choose it again. Still, the experience was good and no complaints.

    Yo Wagamama so fat that... oh wait, that's probably the wrong ethnic joke to tell in Copenhagen, isn't it? Besides, fat people don't come to Wagamama, at least not this one in Tivoli Garden. It appears to be mostly skinny hipsters and related urbanites looking to eat some faux-Asian noodles. That's right... they ain't fat, they just faux and not even pho. Wagamama even sounds hipsterish and looks it, too, with its sleek community tables and black-clad waitstaff using their wireless PDAs to transmit the orders to the kitchen. Now I'm so used to eating at places like this in San Francisco that I found the vibe gimmicky and pretentious. Unfortunately the food follows the same pattern. I started with the Tori Kara-age (50 DKK = $8.88), which I was expecting to be lightly crisped fried chicken pieces but turned out to be tough and overcooked with a too-sweet chili soy sauce (see photo). This was followed by the Yasai Yaki Soba (99 DKK = $17.57), which appeared to be a healthier alternative since it's made up of whole wheat noodles. But their teppan-frying technique meant it was slathered in oil and coriander vinegar. Toppings were on the skimpy side - egg, bean sprouts, peppers, onions, garlic, mushrooms and a showy clump of pickled ginger (see photo). Just not that satisfying for the price. Yo Wagamama, what up? FOOD - 2 stars...by-the-numbers noodle house given a glam sheen AMBIANCE - 3 stars...hip, modern, communal...not my favorite adjectives when I'm eating noodles SERVICE - 2 stars...did I mention the attitude?...oh and the American hostess who had no interest in being cordial to this Yankee tourist TOTAL - 2 stars...Yo Wagamama so mean that...

    Chilli Raman that's basically a Thai noodle
    Kel P.

    Quite pricy for pretty average westernised Japanese food. It doesn't taste Jap, at all. The chilli chicken Raman is basically a Thai flavoured noodle dish while the pork Raman just tasted a bit non-Jap/interesting. All in all, at least it's hot noodle in such weather! Oh yeah, it's annoying they even charge you for tap water!?!

    I have been to several Wagamamas before this and I have always had a good experience with both the food and the service. You get what's expected of a chain like this. It's decent food delivered to you pretty fast. This Wagamamas however was a big letdown. Mainly due to the poor service, or lack of any service actually. We waited a long time to get seated, once we did no one took our order until we asked. The food took a long time to arrive and my partner got her food around 10 minutes before I did. Drinks ended up coming after the food and we never got asked if we wanted anything else to drink later on. We also saw other people having the same experiences. The food was decent but I would definitely be a little wary of this Wagamamas in particular, but of course it might just be a big off day for them.

    I love Asian food, and although Wagamama is a "westernized" version of Asian food, I am still a fan ! The good thing about Wagamama is that its a "fast food" version of Asian food. I dont mean that its junk, but it is really fast service. I have never had to wait more than 10-15minuets for my food. Its a nice place to grab a quick delicious lunch. Good for big and small groups because there are many different dishes to pick from, or just for a nice meal between 2 people. If it was up to me I would go to Wagamama at least once a week, and just order something new of the menu each time. The place: I find that almost all Wagamama's look the same, so the interior here is probably the same as 99% of other Wagamama's. The staff at Wagamama Tivoli mainly only speak English but very friendly. You dont really have private tables at Wagamama unless you are big group, because again its a "Fast food" restaurant

    Chili beef ramen
    Kelly J.

    I had been wanting to try Wagamama's for such a long time, as I had heard they had Ramen on their menu. Having lived in California previously I really miss Ramen here in Denmark so I was excited to finally go and try out the place. When my boyfriend and I sat down we were told by the waiter that food wouldn't necessarily come out together, but come out when it was done, which I didn't think much of at the time. All together we ordered ordered: Apple, mint & lime juice, chicken gyoza, chili beef ramen and wagamama pad-thai with chicken. Lets start with the juice. I actually really liked it. It was very refreshing and really tasty. Perfect balance of mint & lime and I really enjoyed it. The chicken gyoza was pretty good. I don't have much to compare it to as I usually don't order gyoza, but I thought it was a nice starter. Now for the main entrees, we're back to what I said earlier about food not coming out at the same time. My boyfriends pad-thai came out first and my food didn't come out until about 10 minutes after. Maybe that doesn't seem like a long time, but it is when he's staring at his food wanting to be polite and wait for your food to arrive and his food is getting cold. I just find it to be an odd concept that food doesn't arrive at the same time (or close to the same time). He ended up starting his food without me, which of course is no problem but by the time my food arrived he was already quite a ways into his. Would just be nice if people could eat at the same time. But anyway, I had a bite of his pad-thai, and It was pretty good actually. Not the best pad-thai I've ever had but it satisfied my tastebuds. My ramen however, terrible. If you're a ramen lover like me, don't order it. Just don't do it! The broth had barely any flavor, which is a pity as that's what makes up a good ramen. The meat was also just ok for me. Didn't have much flavor, so all together it just didn't do anything for me. I'm giving it 3 stars since their juice, gyoza & pad-thai was pretty good, but the ramen just really killed it.

    chicken Katsu curry

    Ramen in copenhagen...WHAT?! It does exist! This might be the only ramen place in copenhagen and i had to try. Located right around the corner of the infamous Tivoli and they opened til 10p (which is great cause of lot of shops closes early) Great open space with bench styled seatings and booths as well, you don't feel crammed at all Service was nice - ours told us about the freshness of the ingredients and was there if we had any questions. Mind you, THIS IS NOT A TRADITIONAL RAMEN SHOP - dont expect the same as you would any other ramen-ya place. The menu was huge! Ramen had about 6-7 options, and there were also curries and appetizers...nice I ordered Chilli Ramen with Chicken Pork Gyozas Chicken Katsu Curry DISCLAIMER - i had very low expectations for this place...just cause...you know...copenhagen + ramen = didnt really add up Ramen - NOT BAD AT ALL...broth was unique and had a spice to it...like an indian spice and not a HOT spice....it had a bit of a kick but not much, sensitive eater though..beware...my friend said it was spicy. The noodles were the wavy thick kinds and it wasnt bad either...maybe cooked a bit too long cause it was on the softer side. Chicken was grilled and sliced...more like a salad type chicken versus for soup. Overall...the ramen was way better than i expected and tasted better than some places in NYC. However, towards the end of it, i was getting sick of it Curry - BLAND BLAND BLAND - it looked bland when it came out..the curry was very light...kinda watery light and the chicken katsu was sitting on the bottom next to the rice. Eating the curry with the rice was like eating water mixed with curry powder. Dont try Goyozas - eh...they're goyozas...the skin was like in between thin like most goyozas and thick like a dumpling...nothing TOO fancy overall...it exceeded my expectation but again...my expectation were low... but if you're out there...WHY NOT just TRYY

Although I have been walking along Vesterbrogade for so many times, somehow this place is invisible to me, only after Linnea R arranged an event to dine here that I discovered this place. I wasn't hungry enough to order the teppanyaki menu so I decided to get the sushi and sashimi menu instead and split a bowl of soba with raw egg with Mina K while the rest of us ordered teppannyaki. Oh well, how sorry I was for not choosing it. The seafood one looked absolutely divine especially when the chef was cooking them in front of us (we were seated by the teppan table). Although the price seemed a bit steep for the menu (420 dkk), you got tons of food for it as I have witnessed from my dining company's meal. You get the starter sushi / sashimi, you get the seafood teppannyaki with rice and miso soup and believe me, there were plenty of food to go around. One thing that pulls one star down from the perfect five was the SLOWNESS of the service. It took forever to get our food (well, the teppanyaki menu was a show of itself) but the sushi took a long time to appear, apparently. Even when we wanted to leave and wanted to get our bill, it took forever as well. This time it was alright because we had great dining company so we didn't mind waiting but we spent what it was like four hours in the restaurant. Sorry, I'd like my food to be faster please. Hungry! *points to stomach*

Incredibly well thought out food - locally foraged and harvested ingredients. A beautiful bounty of Scandinavian ingredients, manipulated with the utmost precision. Chef presented several of the courses - inspiring to hear the descriptions from the creator himself and he was so authentically engaged when we peppered him with questions. At the end of the night it was a bit challenging getting a taxi back - even Chef got involved in the process. The humility and graciousness, stunning. All memorable and fantastic.

The trout tart looked beautiful, didn't have much of wow factor in taste though. The pasta dish was good with ton of truffle shavings. The main meat dish was not at all there. I mean it was cooked nice but there was a side of tempura made from pig-brain if i remember correctly, and it was pretty bad!! Not fried well, was chewy and the fried batter coating got badly stuck on my teeth! Dessert was good.

I thought the avocado on it would be more like cut up pieces instead of more like guacamole. I thought it would be better that way. I didn't love the texture of the avocado they put. We also got the blanched spinach with the goma sauce which was tasty but I wish it was warm instead of cold! It was a pretty small portion as well. Things I really loved: the seared salmon sushi - it was very fresh & the pieces were large! We got the wagyu stick and MYYYY GOD if steak were butter than that's how I'd describe the texture. Sprinkle a little of the flaky salt on it and it's one of the best things I've put in my mouth. Things I didn't love: the miso cod stick. I've had this before elsewhere and it's been way better. I expected the texture to be buttery and for it to not taste fishy - it was neither of those.

However I was pleasantly surprised and now I know where to get my Korean fix in Copenhagen when I'm feeling homesick. Since it was a very cold day, I wanted something hot and comforting. The Samgyetang menu (310 dkk) appealed to me especially since it comes with small sides (banchan). Normally this soup is eaten in the summer, but I think it also goes over well on these winter evenings. Our server brought out a whole cornish hen sizzling in the stone pot on a wooden trivet with salt and pepper on the side. Spot-on presentation! However there was no ginger or glutinous rice inside the chicken, much less jujube or ginseng. Although chicken is the star of this dish, the rice and herbs play a huge role. This was very disappointing, even though the meat was cooked perfectly and falling off the bone. Before we were served the main (Korean) dishes, we received a little Japanese appetizers. One was a spinach salad (ohitashi) and a shrimp salad with bean thread (ebi sunomono). These were very nice and refreshing but of course I would have preferred a Korean starter. Soon after came gyoza/mandu, which was good. Right before the mains came out we got the banchan, and so prettily arranged! There was seafood pancake (haemul pajeon), carrot kinpira, kimchi, potato pancake (gamjajeon), and seaweed salad. The kinpira was a bit out of place, I think beansprouts would have fit in better. Though they were a little oily, the pancakes were good. Now the kimchi was excellent! I can say this with confidence since I am Korean, I've been brought up eating kimchi, and I do make my own. You can even buy it by the kilo here. Good to know. At the end of the meal we got a scoop of sickly-sweet strawberry ice cream and a pretty but not very tasty strawberry for dessert. I would have preferred green tea ice cream or even some seasonal fruit, the latter being more common in Korean cuisine. Since it is winter I would have been ok with no dessert and just a cup of ginseng tea instead. Although the missing ingredients in the samgyetang made me feel cheated, the banchan was mostly good and so was the service. I look forward to trying more authentic Korean dishes here.
