Wagamama

This Wagamama is in the middle of the Metrocentre, near the cinema. Great place to have a pre-​film dinner or a break from shopping. Service here is a bit quicker than other locations I’ve been to, which is a nice change. Goma Wakame Salad has nice sesame flavor but is a bit «wet» with dressing — good starter though, as it’s very light and healthy. I got the Kare Lomen with chicken — unlike the ramen soups, this one has a curry broth. Great flavor — all the tastes of a proper curry (coconut, lemongrass, etc) in the broth itself. Tender chicken, and whole wheat noodles upon request. I hadn’t realized that you could pick your choice of noodle, but you can, so you can make it a tiny bit healthier if you’re so inclined. Pricey at £10.25 but all the locations are a bit overpriced, I think. Makes a fantastic lunch if you’ve overindulged the night before — that hot broth and the slurpable noodles will cure what ails you.
