This was a great place to get a hearty, but quick meal. Yes, it is a chain, and there are locations in the US, but it just hit dfferent here on this occasion. It was hot outside so the air conditioning inside was just right. There were some people there around 2pm when we arrived, but plenty of open tables, most of which are long and community, but they will space you out. The menu had lots of good options and was slightly different from the US menu. I had the teriyaki soba chicken and it hit the spot. There was a decent amount of meat when it came out about 10 minutes after I ordered. The noodles were cooked nicely, but the portion was not as big as I thought it would be. No worries as we had the hot honey chicken appetizer which was rich and so good! Our server knew we were in a bit of a hurry and made the meal move quickly without feeling rushed. read more

Wagamama Ordered the teriyaki soba with steak and it did not disappoint. The soba noodles were perfectly cooked and soaked up the teriyaki sauce beautifully. The mix of mangetout, bok choi, red and spring onion, beansprouts, and chilli gave it the perfect balance of crunch, freshness, and heat. The steak was tender and full of flavor, and the curry oil added a subtle kick that took the dish to the next level. Finished with coriander and sesame seeds, every bite was bold and satisfying. I also had the chicken donburi ramen, which was comforting and full of flavor. Light yet rich, with tender chicken and a perfectly seasoned broth, it was the perfect complement to the noodles. Overall, a solid, flavorful meal and a great spot for noodles in London. read more

Honestly sooo good haha. I know it's a chain but I thought all the food was great. I shared chicken dumplings and also my mother got a brown rice bowl and I got some duck noodle dish. all was great!! My mother did say she wished her bowl was less rice and more meat and others. it's a super big place so totally able to accommodate huge groups and parties. was a little loud tho but that's to be expected. This location was so convenient right next to tower of London so we were able to get lunch here after our morning tour. I reccomend! Lots of different options on the menu. read more

A pleasant surprise Having lunch at Wagamama was a pleasant surprise. I expected to find more touristy food as we were tourists in a tourist area, but instead I got to enjoy some great ramen. I got their Tantanmen Beef Brisket and it was visually beautiful, a large hot bowl of noodles, broth, and other ingredients circling around on top. With my chopsticks and that oddly shaped spoon, I went to work until I reached the bottom of the bowl. The food had arrived quickly, in about 10 minutes. We were on a tight schedule, a lunch break between tours, and had let our server know. I assume this is common at this location and they got us in and out with time to spare. I did have a problem with their QR code method of paying when my bank wanted to text me a verification code and I had replaced my US SIM card with a local one upon arriving in London. That problem was quickly solved when one of the staff got a POS machine and let me pay that way. I see there are several Wagamama restaurants in the area. Wish we had one where I live. read more

Plenty of tables inside, so there was no wait around lunch. Service was decent and they were very accommodating for allergies. Not the best Asian food I've ever had, but the Yaki Udon was flavorful with curry and had a variety of vegetables. Portions were pretty large and the menu had lots of different options, like ramen, rice bowls, and fried noodle dishes. read more

Wagamama - Yaki Udon with Chicken, Yaki Soba - Japanese Near Me - London, XGL

Short: Relatively Fast, filling, and super tasty. Hit the spot. Amazing location. (Visited early June 2022) I came in about 20 mins before they were closing. Due to, having an evening stroll by the tower bridge and the Tower of London. I was very happy they still served me, especially since I barely ate that day. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Katsu Curry, Prawn Yakisoba, Gyoza, and the Cherry Blossom lemonade. The food was hot and very fresh. However, out of my whole order, the yakisoba arrived first and the gyoza last. The Katsu curry was super filling and pretty spicy, was really happy about it, and tasted pretty authentic. The yakisoba did have a good selection and amount of stir fry vegetables. But I wished they used different noodles and put the sushi ginger on the side. The ginger is usually meant as a palate cleanser. From my assumption, I understood they had it as a refreshing and colorful garnish. I really loved the gyoza and dip. However, there wasn't much consistency in terms of the frying. I will say this was due to ordering them whilst they began cleaning up to close. The lemonade is a signature, and it is super refreshing as well as delicate. This was my second time eating at a Wagamama. Wagamama is a personal favorite now, thanks to their spicy chicken katsu curry and the cherry blossom lemonade. read more

Decent but nothing special. They were a little shorthanded so everything took quite a while but the food was pretty good once it arrived.

Food tasted great. The Thai beef salad was delicious but the chicken teriyaki had a lot less chicken and way too much rice. Delicious nonetheless. Very forward thinking restaurant. Service was great and the yuzu tonic was my highlight. read more

What a pleasant surprise finding this fast casual Asian fusion restaurant right across from Tower of London. We have a kid who is a picky eater but he loves rice and I am restricted in my diet, too. We all found suitable items offered on the menu. I ordered brown rice and all of the sides or "ban-chan" in Korean. Sides included Japanese pickles, hot peppers, kimchi, miso soup. The service was excellent. Our server made sure the menu accommodations were clear and brought out exactly as specified. I wish there were more places like this in Seattle. read more

This is now as chain as chain can be. I've been to this Wagamama many years ago, perhaps when there was no store to be found in the US. Now, i feel like the quality has gone down the chute. Service is slow to non existent, and if you're not a fan of shared communal tables - then you're gonna not enjoy this place. I got the cocounut curry dish with chicken - and I basically go 3 pieces of minuscule shreds of chicken with loads of veggies and rice that was slightly on the crunchy side. I'd say Mehhh to this place - there's plenty of other options in this area. read more

This Wagamama location offers tired tourists at the Tower restorative bowls of ramen, tasty dumplings and cold beer. We'd eaten here 10 years ago and liked the concept - quick, pretty cheap, pretty healthy and tasty. It was nice to see things really hadn't changed. Tables are long and will be communal during busy times. There's a full bar menu, or you can order tea, sake or fresh juices and smoothies. I wasn't starving so I had an order of chicken steam buns & steamed dumplings. Both were fresh and full of flavor. If you want extra heat, they offer spicy chili oil along with a spice powder. I used both, no regrets. The Mister had a ramen and our friend had a curry - both were happy with their choices. If you're at the Tower and need a break you can do much worse! read more

We tried the pork ramen and also beef ramen and enjoyed them both. The ramen did have some spicy to it; about enough to make your lips tingle kind of thing. I also tried the pork in the soft bun and found it to be very savory. Cool online payment checkout option and great service. Loved the music volume as you could converse with it on. read more

I love Wagamama! The food was delivered quickly and everything was delish. My kids loved their mini chicken katsu. Plus they had extra kids chopsticks when my kids inevitably broke theirs. I got the delish beef bao buns and chicken yakisoba. Both were awesome. Hubs got a ramen bowl but I don't remember which one. The broth was great. A bit too spicy for me but still really good! read more

Soulful food. Amazing flavors. Just enjoyed every bite and sip of the hot pot. Great service- mostly self and easy going. It's like a fast food place; so easy sitting and quick place to eat read more

Open concept seating. Fresh eats, fresh juice. Wagamama is located close to the river and sit across from the London tower. Seating is community style on benches. They have a juice menu with a variety of blends as well as a bunch of different food options. I went with chicken ramen and the edamame. I got one of the green juices that came with ginger. It was very good and there wasn't enough. My ramen was a little spicy as requested and went perfect with the overcast day. All the ingredients were very fresh and I really enjoyed the meal. Our server was polite and checked in a few times. The food came out pretty quickly and it didn't break the bank when the bill came. I really enjoyed Wagamama. It's got a convenient location, close by metro stop and fresh food/drink. If you're in the area looking for some Asian eats it's worth a shot. read more

My first DJ trip to and gig in London England, {a good bit of time ago -- last millennium} the BBC British DJs hosting me, were talking about how we are all gonna eat at "Wagamama's" before our (my) gig. I never heard of it, but I loved the name and thought they were joking or pulling my leg or something funny. "WAGAMAMA" I asked, I wanna meet this 'Waga Waga Mama' There was a line a block long. I actually didn't think it was a real restaurant. I feel in love with it, for numerous reasons. Waga Waga Mama, I am on my way. I got you WMama. read more

This place was not working for us. The curry chicken katsu flavor was standard and needed more curry. My daughters wanted ramen and ordered the chicken gyoza and pork belly. They can't handle chili so I asked to not have it but it was still a little spicy for them. Overall a solid 3 just not my style. read more

Wagamama, although you are a chain restaurant I do see uniqueness in your menu. There are a lot of fun sounding items on the menu that makes my mouth water. Two items that caught my attention that particular night was the Lollipop Prawns and the Grilled Duck Donburi. The Lollipop Prawns were so good I actually hesitated in sharing with my friends. The Grilled Duck Donburi was not a disappointment either. It came with shredded duck meat, mixed vegetables, topped with a sunny side up egg and a side of kimchi. Even though it's a donburi it was more like a bibimbap in my opinion. My friend ordered the ramen and was disappointed because the soup was not warm enough. The prices are reasonable considering the location. They're right next to Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. If you get seated next to the window you can get a beautiful view of both of those landmarks. The downfall of this particular Wagamama location is their service. The host was great but the waiters are very inattentive. It must've took around 15 minutes before the waiter came over to take our orders. Even after our orders it took him a long time to get our beverages. How long does it take to prepare green tea? The waiter also never cared to check up on us to ask if we were satisfied with our meals. Even when it was time for the bill it took awhile before we could wave him over to our table. Wagamama I definitely like your food but the lack of customer service usually leaves a "bad taste" in your customer's mouth. read more

I travel to London a fair amount for work, and Wagamama is my go to spot. It's great for take out, or to eat in. If you are traveling alone, the setup does not make you feel awkward at all about dining as a party of one. The food is reliable, consistent. The prices are fair, the service is quick and friendly, and the location is extremely convenient to both the insurance district and Tower of London. read more

Food here was excellent especially our Edamame which was really fresh. Service was good and food came quickly but very warm and fresh.

Good ramen and soup here. Didn't skimp on the veggies in my itame and the broth was pretty flavorful and a little spicy. The chicken ramen had good broth but was otherwise fairly unremarkable. All the meals I saw other customers eating looked delicious and it was difficult to decide what to get. I would love to return and try more of their offerings! read more

Went here for ramen and honestly should have expected that it wouldn't be authentic. That being said, the locale has a great view of Tower Bridge and Tower of London and was evidently very trendy. My entire party ordered the Wagamama ramen and it was good if you don't think of it as a ramen. All the toppings were tasty but the broth was nothing spectacular and the noodle consistency was weird to me but again I think I was expecting ramen noodles. Might want to return and try something else maybe. read more

WOW I wish I had a Wagamama in my home city. Sure, it might be a chain, but the ramen is *chef's kisses*. They offer a wide variety in their menu - I'm sure anyone can find something that interests them. I ordered the popular brisket ramen (as pictured). Portions at Wagamama are generous and this one ramen could easily satisfy 2-3 people. Quality was outstanding! I hope to be back! read more

Wagamama - Brisket Ramen - Japanese Near Me - London, XGL

I have seen Wagamama's before, though I can't place my finger on exactly where (HK? NYC? Maybe both.) We were in London for a very short stay and was dying to find good food, anywhere. After a day at The Tower of London, we came across Wagamama. My cousin had mentioned that the food at this chain was good and we should check this place out, so off we went. The place was very crowded and loud. Servers were running about hectically. The service was lacking and was more at the caliber of uncaring fast food workers. However, the food here was good though it was more fusion than authentic. We all ordered different variations of ramen noodles. We all chose the chicken broth and I like that the broth here isn't overly salty nor too rich/thick. It was light but flavorful. One bizarre incident here was that our server brought over a portable credit card device to insert my credit card. After doing so, the screen asked if I wanted to leave a tip and if so how much. our server was hovering over me while holding the device for me to complete the transaction! Tacky but I felt compelled to leave a tip. read more

I tried Wagamama based on a friend's recommendation. I ordered a spicy ramen. The soup was nice and hot (I tried Wagamama based on a friend's recommendation. I ordered a spicy ramen.

I really appreciate the adventurousness in the food choices. In the US, you would rarely find ginger on yaki udon, but it adds a brightness to the dish. Also having curry on chicken katsu instead of a brown gravy like the traditional Hawaiian dish was an unexpected surprise, and quite delicious. The service here was also fast and polite and the restaurant is clean. read more

Went for supper on Sunday around 7:20 PM. The place was perhaps 60% full and with a nice atmosphere. We (3 guys) were seated promptly, but despite the fact that it was not at capacity it took a few minutes for our waiter to make first contact and take orders. The waiter and sincere and attentive and provided good service. Got appetizers - edamame with salt and some kimchee - which came promptly; before the drinks (beer, green tea and water - nothing complicated). Maybe 5 minutes later the entrees started to arrive and our waiter did warn that they will come at different times - I guess as they are prepared. We all had ramen soup - I had the Wagamama Ramen and my colleagues had the Chili Sirloin Steak Ramen. All were delicious although I found mine less than piping hot, which is how I like it, Afterwards I had a decaf coffee and one of my colleagues had a double espresso - all good. All in all a great meal after a long day of travel! Definitely recommended. read more

This place is very good, first visit here. The servers here took a little longer to take the order than usual, but the food came in pretty quick which made up for it. Water is pricy here, about 7 pounds for a big bottle, but it's good I always carry water. The food itself was delicious, everything really tasted well together. I did have to add some extra teriyaki sauce, which was free by the way, to add a little more flavor. read more

Wagamama - Japanese Near Me - London, XGL

Wagamama is a chain of "Asian" style restaurants in Western Europe with about 20+ locations in and around London. So, I'm thinking to myself... if my Hawaii based Asian wife and Hapa daughter are craving noodles and rice while we are a long way away from home...then this place might be worth its weight in gold. Well they never did have an panic attack inspite of the fact that none of the local London restaurants appeared to have an institutional size rice cooker out in plain view of the dining room. But, one day, we just happened to be near one of these places and I suggested that we ought to try it out just to see what it was like. Two miso ramens and one chicken curry katsu later we had warm stomachs and a better idea of what Wagamama was all about. There must be an asian person involved in creating the menus and recipes for the corporation. From what I could tell there is probably about one asian person per square mile in this area of London. And that person did not work at Wagamama. We don't do fish and chips very well here on Oahu. Wagamama doesn't do ramen justice. Seriously mediocre ramen. Little bit better chicken katsu. Better yakisoba. Better to avoid the ramen unless you just have to have a noodle fix. The place itself is nice with modern decor, cafeteria style seating, free green tea, high energy staff, clean and fresh food. I like the fact that you can order from a smart phone app or computer for take out. I'm giving them 3.5 stars for trying so hard to be modern and high tech. The food is actually good but the taste is way off from what were are accustomed to. It is definitely worth one visit to see if it suits you better than it did us. read more

This place is so freakin' amazing I want to make one my own franchise and put it in my house. Their food is so good it makes me close my eyes and enjoy each and every savory bite. When I opened my eyes there came a tear because: 1. This is a chain Japanese restaurant that is totally amazing and widespread. Why don't I have this in California?? 2. OMG the closest Wagamama is 3,000 miles from me in Boston???!! 3. The chicken curry was the best thing EVER. So good. My boyfriend ended up buying me the Wagamama cookbook online when we got home because we were so homesick for some tasty Japanese dishes. Then I wear my Wagamama shirt I bought there for reminiscing purposes. It's really good too and I recommend it to all of the travelers who now have Wagamama withdraws. This place is authentic, tasty, fairly cheap, casual and the best Japanese food in London and the US. read more
