Wagamama

Just want to say thank you for the great service food was good too… See pics :)

Not sure why Wagamama is such a big chain. It’s probably one of the worst Asian fusion food I’ve had anywhere. The fried noodle dish was tolerable, but the ramen was just awful. I’m still looking for a good authentic ramen place in London, maybe I’ll try restaurants on Brewer St. next time.
I’d give 2 stars for the cool décor.

If only they spent as much time on the flavor of the food as they did on trying to use Japanese words in the menu. I tried the Wagamama ramen and the yaki udon. I realized I made a mistake in ordering the ramen as soon as I smelled it. The miso ramen tasted like miso soup with sea food and top ramen noodles dumped in it. Thoroughly disappointing. The yaki udon noodles were overly soft and the flavor was somewhat bland. The Hare and Tortise is only a few blocks away with similar menu items, lower prices and better flavor.

Wagamama has a great selection of food mostly noodles but there delicious so no problem there the down fall is its a bit expense but i think its worth it the food is so tasty XXX

I guess there isn’t much that can be said here other than when restaurants of this nature produce the food to the same standard across all locations it’s to be praised. The putney branch achieves the accolade without issue and I have yet to leave here anything but satisfied.

We stopped here for a quick lunch and were really pleased with a quick and nice service.
My friend’s meal (which was rice dish) was slightly burnt though and she said that at the end (after almost finishing it off). The manager came up and started apologising endlessly, and offered us any dessert we want for free.
All in all, we enjoyed it!

Oh how I love me some Wagamama. I know it’s not authentic, but it’s pretty damn good. All of the ingredients are always fresh and the food arrives so quickly.
The restaurant itself was clean and rather empty. Maybe b/​c of the location, or maybe b/​c we were there at 3PM. I don’t know, but it was still effin’ good.
Yeah, Wagamama is a chain. But it’s good. And it’s a chain that should be everywhere — including NYC!

Not my first Wagamama experience, but my most recent one. Stopped in here for dinner on a sunny Sunday. Surprised that the place was mostly empty– unsual for a weekend dinner. Ordered some delicious rice and prawns. Service was quick and friendly. I always love their clean and minimalistic interiors and fresh options.

Love love love me a wagamama. This is one of my favourite ones to go to — ginger chicken udon and yaki soba are always hits with me. Edammame beans are delicious and most of the time staff are very helpful. You do have to be used to the ways of wagamama and remember that your food will not arrive all at the same time. If you are ok with that then welcome to a good night of food. Free green tea is always handy too :)

The food was poor. I ate a wagamamas ramen (noodle soup). I have to say i dont think i’ve ever had a meal so bland of flavour! Soup tasted like hot water and most of the ingredients were tasteless. I have eaten in wagamamas before and eaten a chicken ramen and it was lovely, so very disappointed with putneys offerings!

Wagamamas makes you feel healthy, the food is cooked in view of customers and so fresh and piping hot. You couldnt linger for too long because it is always busy. I get the impression the staff like you to eat and leave but that is why we go here for the food and the speed of service. There is a kids menu, Some favourites for bigger appetites are yaki soba, yaki udon [ the difference is the noodles] This last visit I had numer 79. A prawn and rice dish with a coriander and lime chilli sauce. average price for a dish is 8 pounds. Great fast food.

Standard Wagamama stuff, but in a light, airy, ground-​floor setting, with particularly friendly service. This is not the biggest Wagamama’s, so it can get quite crowded at various times.
If you have not been to a W’s before, be prepared for the lack of individual tables and seats. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but the place is more suited to a fun/​friendly lunch than a romantic dinner ending in the presentation of a ring.

As with most Wagamamas’ the experience will be very similar, just the location will differ. If you like Japanese noodles (ramen) they you’ll like the food on offer. A busy restaurant but some of the more central ones are even busier. If your’e there, have an ice cold beer with your order, it adds a refreshing edge to your steaming bowl of noodles.

The restaurant is often busy and on several occasions we have been sat far to close to somebloy we dont know to cram as many customers in as possible. The food is good and I can especially recommend the fruit juices which are freshly prepared and taste delicious. Also great if you just want a quick meal before visiting the cinema across the road.

Wagamama is an extremely successful Japanese style restaurant on Putney High Street.
The menu contains the likes of Ramen and Tepppan fried noddle dishes, but also a choice of Japanese curries with rice.
Side dishes include dumplings, prawns, steamed soya beans, miso soup and the like. Wine and beer are available, but also fresh juices and green tea.
The orders are taken on small PDA style devices, and are transmitted electronically to the kitchen. The food is brought out as soon as it’s ready, so don’t expect it to arrive all at once.
The décor of the restaurant is pretty modern, and you often share the long tables with other customers — which gives the slight feeling that you are in a fast food restaurant, but fun at the same time.
The food is tasty, although not quite as good as Hare and Tortoise on the Upper Richmond road in my opinion. Prices are also a bit more expensive, with main dishes around the £8 mark.
