  “Great service and nice food. The noodles were a bit plain in some places, so probably were not stirred/spiced well. Overall, tasty food and had a nice time”

  “Food was ok , I did request a birthday cake but they didn't do them so the chef said she'd write happy birthday in chocolate on a plate but it sadly did not appear. Very expensive place, over £90 for three meals and a small can of coke and two tiny starters, beer absolutely ridiculous £7 pint. Wouldn't go again”

  “Initially sat and told our server would be with us soon. Our assigned server didn't attend to us. Penny stepped in who did an amazing job, considering she hasn't assigned tables before! She took our drinks order and said our server would be with us soon. Again, our assigned server didn't attend. Penny came back and asked if we had been served and she happily took our order as we hadn't. We ordered two mains, a side and extra. Our side came immediately, it was truly delicious and the highlight of all of the food we had. The duck gyoza was great. Then my partners main arrived. We knew the plates would be scattered in time but I had to wait ten minutes for my main. He had the steak soba and said it was good! My katsu chicken curry arrived and it was cold, warm in the middle (rice and chicken) but the sauce was cold as was the outer parts of the dish. My partner wanted to return it, as I'm pregnant and very hungry I insisted it was OK. After a few bites I was quite disgruntled as the colder parts of the meal had knocked me sick. If it was warm, I'm sure the dish would have been great. It was our first time trying Wagamama and it will more than likely be our last. The service from Penny was remarkable, she was absolutely fantastic. Just a shame she wasn't our assigned waitress otherwise we would have left a large tip solely for her. The food.. mediocre. I would highly recommend heading to a local China town and going to one of the restaurants there (Manchester - Wasabi) and i can ensure you it would be much cheaper and the food will have much more flavour. Saddened to say we wont be going again, which is a shame as it's local. Penny, thank you for your fantastic service!”

  “We stop here usually after a trip to Alton towers and always enjoy our food. We came before a visit on Saturday and sat on the sunny terrace. Our server was lovely; she said she was new and still learning but she did an amazing job and was very attentive and proactive. Im not 100% sure of her name but it began with a P! The food was spot on and very fresh. There was an issue with the electricity but we didn't notice and the staff dealt with it well despite it getting very busy. All in all a very nice meal and service!”

  “If you were born off planet and have never been to one of these; it's Thai fusion, think stir frys, ramen, rice bowls, bau buns. All very fresh and well prepped with good ingredients and good portions. I love the way you can make your own and choose what goes in to your bowl. Chain, yes, cookie cutter, sure, but if you want consistent quality it is a good choice. This one is located in a bit of a grim spot, doesn't matter once you're inside and the service is great.”

  “We loved our experience here. The service was so friendly and helpful. All the dishes were fresh and full of flavour. And although they don't make their own noodles or bad buns, they're manufactured just for wagamama. The dishes come ad they're ready. There's lots of vegan and vegetarian options. For starters we had the dumplings and they were ok but it's the mushroom bao buns which were really amazing, there as crunchiest, there was softness and lots of flavour. My vegetarian raman was very yummy and my husband ordered noodles with steak and the steak was actually medium rare. We were impressed and it was definitely a good night out.”

  “Staff were friendly and welcoming from start to finish. Starters and cocktails were excellent. The chilli squid was top tier and the Thai margarita was delicious. Unfortunately, both our mains fell short on flavour. My pork belly ramen was mostly noodles and broth, while the donburi had a better mix but needed more sauce. When we asked for extra, it took ages to arrive and came as hoisin instead of the Korean BBQ we’d ordered. We ended up using the chilli sauce from the squid, which was again top tier. The light above our booth kept flickering, which knocked the atmosphere a bit, though I was glad to have a booth as most of the seating was backless stools. I’d happily return to Wagamama, but next time I’d stick to a mix of small plates and cocktails. One tip: ask for the bill when you get dessert, as getting attention at the end was a bit of a struggle.”

  “Had such a good meal here today! 😋 The food was delicious and there were loads of great options on the menu, including vegetarian choices too. My family’s dishes all looked amazing but mine was the best. I had the gochujang pork belly ramen and it was sooo good! My first time trying proper ramen and it did not disappoint. I'd recommend that along with the sweet chilli donburi and the kastu tepanyaki. Also had the tropical juice which was freshly blended and tasty. Great service and really lovely staff too! 💛”

  “Me and my partner went here for our date night and with it being my first time there, i was super pleased! The Atmosphere was lovely and the staff was so kind! Especially Paige who took our drinks and food order. She came to check on us to see if the food was okay and asked if we needed anything else, such lovely manners too! Another staff made me smile too as she said that she thought my Jumper was cute! I didnt get chance to get her name though. The food was incredible and the Cherry Blossom Lemonade was beautiful! Thank you so much! Defintely will be coming back.”

  “I come to Wagamama 2-3 times a year. We like to come here because of the authentic food you get here and I like the flavours. However most of the time this place isn’t clean. And the lack of timing for the food it’s horrendous. There was a time everyone had their food and I was still waiting for mine and they even finished their food as well. I had to ask for mine at this point and could have offered goodwill gesture. So I wish they could be a bit more attentive and ensure everyone has got their food and happy. The drinks on the other hand is pretty poorly. Lacking of flavour I must say and drink sizes could be better. Overall I’m rating for the food mostly.”
