As (arguably) one of the most popular pan-Asian restaurants in the UK it is hard to go to a town or city without one these day. But given its immense popularity, it is somewhat comforting to know that there is always a Wagamama nearby to enjoy a quick ramen or katsu curry.
This laid back and buzzy restaurant with communal tables and great lighting make for the perfect place to catch up with friends over one of the many dishes and sides they have on the menu. Think warm and hearty Ramens with a choice of meats, fish or chicken, donburi rice bowls for when you want a no fuss or frill dish and of course you can’t forget the classic chicken Katsu curry. Although if you don’t eat meat, there is no need to worry because its katsu variations include the vegatsu made with seitan and the yasai katsu made with sweet potato and aubergine coated in panko bread crumbs.
Wagamama doesn’t do starters. However the extensive sides menu are perfect for sharing so why not order a few different ones to get a taste for as many possible. Go for the crispy fried chilli squid, hirata buns in a selection of different variations, and the beef tataki with citrus and ponzu mayonnaise.
Accompany your pan-Asian feast with one of its Japanese beers or if you after something a little fruitier, the freshly squeezed juices in a range of flavours including carrot, blueberry and a tropical juice blend. Don’t forget to order a cup of green tea either; it’s on the house after all.
As well as having an extensive main menu, its vegan and gluten free menus include lots of exciting options to choose from as well as variations on the classic dishes to make them suitable for many different dietary requirements. You no longer have to miss out on your favourite dishes when you visit Wagamama.
