Japanese cuisine is one of the most popular foreign cuisines in the country. With so many restaurants taking influences from Japan in their cooking, each Japanese restaurant is different. For those who like to stick to certain dishes every time they visit a restaurant however, Wagamama is the ideal place for you.
In reality, the Wagamama menu is extensive. With lots of curries, ramens and noodle dishes to choose from you’d have to visit a fair few times before you got even halfway through the menu. When it comes to Wagamama though, most people have one dish that they will stick to every single time they visit the casual Japanese dining restaurant. For most it is a ramen with their choice of meat, fish or veg. For others the katsu curry takes centre stage. Traditionally made with chicken, the mild curry dish now comes with both vegan and vegetarian options so no one has to miss out on everyone’s favourite Japanese curry.
If those dishes don’t sound appealing to you, no need to worry because you can go for one of the other countless options on the menu. Try the grilled duck donburi rice bowl, teriyaki lamb, or if you’re feeling super adventurous, the cod mokutan with black charcoal soba noodles. If you’re on a health kick, the salad menu isn’t your average boring selection. Instead you can go for tofu harusame glass noodle salad, or a pad Thai salad, a new take on the well-known dish.
To go with you big dishes, we recommend you order a few side dishes to accompany your meal. They work great for sharing too so if you want to try a range of sides that is your best option. Go for the beef tataki with citrus and ponzu mayo, ebi katsu crispy fried prawns or steamed gyoza.
Wagamama’s laidback serving style means that dishes come out as and when they are ready in no particular order. This means that your dishes will come piping hot straight from the kitchen and you can be sure that they weren’t left waiting around while your other dishes were prepared. Talk about fresh.
