Wagamama is a Pan-Asian food chain with many outlets across London. It is only a number of these that I have been to so can only comment on them. Wagamama serves a range of Pan-Asian dishes, mostly specialising in noodle dishes but also do salads and rice dishes. Their slogan is positive eating + positive living and in this specialise in natural ingredients and healthy, nutritional food. I am really impressed with Wagamama for the efficiency and quality of their food. If you are looking for a romantic dinner for two, don't come here. In London at least, they were one of the first restaurants to serve food with canteen style seating. They have very long tables and benches, which mean you are sat next to anyone, so don't expect privacy. As...

A friend from the US came to visit us in London a few months ago and a friend had recommended he eat at Wagamama during his trip. I was impressed that this chain of noodle restaurants had a following abroad but then I went to their website and learnt that as well as their 65 UK restaurants, they also have 37 chains internationally. Zagat readers voted them ‘most popular London restaurant’ in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 so it’s no wonder they have a good reputation at home and abroad.Walking along the South Bank on a Sunday afternoon we were in need of a very late lunch. The row of new restaurants under the Royal Festival Hall (which also includes Giraffe, Eat, Strada) seem to be permanently busy and Wagamama was no exception. We managed to...

Wagamama is a great restaurant offering fast service, minimalist design and atmosphere, and great food. This is the perfect restaurant for a quick bite between classes or sightseeing schedule. My roomate was a vegetarian and this was one of the few restaurants that served a wide variety of vegetarian meals. My favorite dish is the chili beef ramen. The gyozas are also a must-try!

Wagamama is a chain of Chinese inspired restaurants. There is one very convenient to the British Museum, so I stopped there for lunch. The restaurant is very open and modern in design. The seating is cafeteria-style tables and benches, which can mean sitting right next to people in a different party. Paper placemats serve their usual function and as a place for the waiter to write down the numbers from the menu as you place your order. They use this to calculate the check at the end.You can check out the menu at their website. The most popular choices for entrees are noodle bowls. You can choose from different meat, seafood, or vegetarian selections. I ate the spicy chicken, which was disappointingly bland. I added lots of chili...

Wagamama is a London institution. In fact, I should say it's a European institution since I've also seen locations in Amsterdam and Dublin.For a quick meal at a good price, Wagamama can't be beat. But this also means there are often lines out the door. Fortunately, with the cafeteria-style tables and quick service, the lines move fairly quickly.When you come in, you'll be directed to a place at one of the long tables, usually sitting next to people you don't know. But there's still plenty of space, and room underneath the table for your bags.Waiters use a little machine to type in your order and write the number of what you ordered right on your placemat. A lot of the menu consists of soups, but there's also the cha han (rice with...

This is a pretty darn good restaurant. It is very similar to the ramen noodle bars that are popular in Japan, but with more of an international flare.
Although this particular location was not very easy to find, even though it was just a couple of blocks from the British Museum, there are many Wagamama restaurants scattered across London and the rest of the UK.
The Wagamama restaurant also has a unique setup for its tables. Instead of many individual tables, it has a series of long benches from one end of the main dining hall to another. So, in many instances, you are eating right next to strangers. Depending on your social skills, this could be either a good or bad thing. Personally, I thought it was positive even though I...

This noodle bar was one of my favorite dining experiences while visiting London. I saw many of these in other locations during my stay. It’s a very clean, modern, upbeat restaurant with the sloganPositive eating – Positive living. The young man who served us was experienced, savvy and efficient. I chose ramen: a "big bowl of noodles in soup" with nice big chunks of chicken. It looked like so much that I didn’t think I could possibly eat it all, but I did, probably because it was so light and tasty. Served with big pitchers of ice water or peach iced tea. £6.60

We went back to Wagamama, and I had the seafood udon, while Jason tried the seafood ramen, the closest thing he could find to chicken soup (he still was feeling sick). I tried elderberry soda, and it was definitely different! We had duck gyoza as an appetizer, then off to the Globe!When I had gone for lunch, earlier in the week, I was blown away by the fried noodles, they were FABULOUS!www.greendragonartist.com

Wagamamas noodle houses are all over the place, and we very highly recommend them. The service is fast, and the food is substantial in portion. It is somewhat equivalent to the Penang restaurants in and around NYC. If you like healthy, spicy, piping hot food, this is the place for it.

There are a couple of these restaurants all over London. It's mostly a noodle place, and it's really good. The service is efficient, fast, and friendly. I even bought a shirt from this place.
