About wagamama dundee
On Whitehall Street, wagamama dundee serves Asian dishes across long communal benches and booths, with glass frontage seating that looks out over the city centre near the Overgate shopping centre. Hot honey fried chicken with bao buns anchors the menu, alongside steak teppanyaki and Chicken Teriyaki Soba, a bowl built with chicken, noodles and vegetables. Edamame runs as a starter, and the bar pours a cherry blossom g+t and a Yuzu Lychee Sangria. The room operates on walk-in seating rather than reservations, and staff talk new diners through the ordering approach at the table. Seating stretches between shared tables and smaller booths, giving a choice between the communal format and a more separate table. The Whitehall Street setting puts the restaurant within reach of the Overgate for anyone shopping nearby before or after a meal.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the teppanyaki, several ordering the steak version and calling it delicious or incredible, with the hot honey fried chicken and bao buns also drawing praise close behind. Drinks come up often too, from the cherry blossom G+T and Yuzu Lychee Sangria to a well made espresso, all described as fresh and beautifully presented. Staff warmth is the recurring thread, with reviewers repeatedly crediting individual servers and bartenders by name for recommendations and speedy service, though one visitor notes a waitress seemed unsure whether guests should seat themselves, suggesting some newer staff need more training. One diner jokes that too much edamame means a lot of chewing, while a takeaway order of chicken teriyaki soba was called well cooked but mild in flavour. One visit was noted as quiet and empty, though service still ran smoothly, with one reviewer thanking staff for getting food out fast enough to beat a parking ticket.

“First time going to a Wagamama’s, had an absolutely fantastic night, the food was absolutely incredible (had the steak teppanyaki) the drinks were gorgeous (had the cherry blossom g+t) which was beautifully presented. Every single staff member was friendly, warm and welcoming. A special shoutout to Lillianna, what an absolutely fantastic person, she seemed to really have a passion for service, great recommendations and absolutely funny and bubbly personality, she made our dining experience and made our night! Were sorry we didnt get to say goodbye as we had to rush off, but thank you so so much for everything! From the 2 guys who didnt know what they wanted to order”

“I had a cocktail and an espresso the espresso was perfectly made and tasted amazing. The hot honey fried chicken was especially impressive. it’s making my mouth water even now! The bao buns were great, and the teppanyaki was absolutely delicious. The manager and staff were also very kind and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, a fantastic visit.”

“Beautiful Wagamama very close to the Overgate shopping centre in the heart of Dundee! Staff inside were friendly and very accomodating of dietary requirements and helpful with the Wagamama app. Sat at the front by the glass frontage, we could admire the bustling city centre in peace and with the excellent food you'd expect from Wagamama. My one piece of advice would be to avoid eating too many edamame in one go; you'll be chewing for longer than a highland cow!”
