About wagamama rushden lakes
Wagamama Rushden Lakes is a restaurant in Rushden, set in the Lakes Shopping Centre. The kitchen is in view of the seating area, and dishes arrive individually as they are ready, so plates reach a table at different times.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the quick, tasty food, with the grilled chicken ramen and a katsu udon swapped to soba noodles named as hits, and several mention dishes arriving piping hot and fast. Staff draw repeated warmth, from a quick seat swap to a booth when one table felt cold to servers described as smiling and polite, and one reviewer likes the lake views. The caveats carry real weight. One reviewer says the ramen tasted like water in a bowl and a yaki soba came out bland with only a few prawns, adding that sending dishes back feels uncomfortable. Another describes sticky tables, a hair inside a menu, and blocked toilets with a missing flush button. A few note that busy periods feel rushed and impersonal, with a slow wait for a waiter, and that dishes arrived one at a time so one diner finished before the other was served. Even so, one reviewer calls the food lovely despite the state of the place, and another notes a booth was offered without any awkwardness.

“Wagamamammaaaaaa What happened to you? The food is lovely, don’t get me wrong, but the overall experience could be much better. The tables were sticky, the menus were filthy — I even found a hair inside one of them. The toilets were blocked with no proper water flow, the flush button was missing, and the air filter/ventilation seemed to be gone as well. Really disappointing because the food itself was actually good”

“This is not the first time the food is disappointing. We have been here many times and every time we hope it will be better(sometimes it has some taste). First time it was the ramen that was straight water. No taste just bland, like water in a bowl, this was just bad. And now the yaki soba chicken and prawn( had 4 counted prawns), tasted like nothing again, just bland noodles with a bit of chicken. And for anyone that says “you could’ve asked for it to be changed” or anything else, it’s not comfortable to come here and ask for the dish to go back every now and then.”

“Great food here & service. The katsu udon (we changed to soba noodles) were pretty good! A really nice experience.”
