A consistent restaurant. We joined a large queue which was cleared in about fifteen minutes. The team were very friendly and the food was mostly enjoyable. The vegan sticky ribs weren’t for us (personal taste) and the edamame seemed to be missing the salt. The pad Thai I had however was wonderful as was the mushroom bao. The chefs made a tweaked version of the menu to accommodate dietary preferences which was appreciated. Drinks arrived after the food but the team explained that was because they were training.

Came in for food before heading off to the cinema with some friends. Absolutely could not fault the experience; the food was lovely, and the staff were all extremely friendly. Our server Kate was so lovely, she bantered on with us all, and we had a nice conversation. Thank you, we will definitely be back :

Lovely meal at Wagamama today when visiting the Metro Centre. Enjoyed the excellent food and the service was very smooth and efficient. All carried out by a nice young lady called Liv. Thanks very much.

Yet another restaurant chain that is hyped up as amazing. Sorry but food bland and overpriced. I had chicken and king prawn noodle dish. 3 prawns in the dish. A japanese food equivalant of Macdonalds. Tasteless over priced rubbish.

There was a small mistake with our order, but the staff, such as Abi, were amazing about it and handed the situation perfectly. The Food is AMAZING.
