Quick info
About wagamama northampton
On Walter Tull Way in Sixfields, wagamama northampton is a casual restaurant serving Asian dishes at long communal benches. The kitchen turns out ramen noodle soup, chicken katsu curry, and gyoza, alongside firecracker chicken and Korean fried chicken bao buns often ordered as a shared starter. A kids' menu offers bento boxes and mini yakisoba, and starters and mains sometimes arrive together rather than in sequence. Seating spans both an indoor room and an outdoor area, and tables are available without a reservation. Free parking is provided for diners, and both a student discount and a blue light discount apply.

Customer Review Summary
Ramen recurs as the strongest draw, with reviewers repeatedly praising the hot pot beef brisket ramen and the ramen noodle soup, followed closely by dishes like the Chicken Katsu Curry, korean fried chicken boa buns, and a Prawn raisukaree described as flavourful and beautifully presented. Families note the kids' menu and mini yakisoba going down well, and several mention friendly, quick service alongside easy seating without booking. A few complaints recur: one diner found starter and main arrived out of order with a ten minute gap, another felt a dish lost its heat sitting before serving, and one found portions small for the price, with a separate reviewer calling the overall pricing "obscene" after a £75 bill for two mains, a side, and drinks. One reviewer also describes cutlery being placed on the table without a tissue, which they found disappointing. Several reviews single out individual staff for going beyond expectations, including one occasion where a server offered a free dessert to mark a family's anniversary.

“First and likely only trip to "wags" - the food and service were both lovely but the pricing is obscene. Honestly, no complaints about the food, service, atmosphere, even the parking was good, but 2 mains, a side, and 4 drinks (2 of which were lemonade) somehow ended up being £75. It's ramen. Have a word with yourselves.”

“What a fantastic visit! The food is delicious, great portions and lots of choice. My wife went for the Chicken Katsu Curry which smelt amazing (I've had it before here, it's very good) and she loved it. I went for the Buldak Bimibap which is a limited time dish, and that was so good - super spicy and delicious flavour! The kids each went for the bento boxes (which I think is new?) which they loved, good sized meals and good value too. My sister went for her favourite (which is no longer on the menu but they will always make - amazing!) which is the Chilli Chicken Ramen, but with Steak. Shout out to the whole team (Grace was great and super friendly as well as the manager, we didn't get your name!) there today who were super friendly, helpful and lovely. We were actually there with family (5 of us, including 2 children) for a wedding anniversary celebrating. The waitress heard us saying it was our anniversary and came over, congratulated us and offered a dessert each of the menu to pick which was super sweet! We couldn't have picked better restaurant and the guys really looked after us, made us feel really welcome and look forward to going back - thank you so much!”

“Came here for a mother's day lunch with my sister, grandma and mum. The service was great from the moment we entered. We were served by a young man called Alex who made all the requested changes to our orders. The food came very promptly. Food was presented beautifully, however, it could have had a bit more spice.”

“Great place for families! The kids’ menu is really good, and my child loved the mini yakisoba — tasty, fresh, and not too spicy. Friendly staff and quick service. We’ll definitely be back!”
