The staff was very friendly. We were seated very quickly considering it was very busy. The staff took our orders. Promptly my sisters' food arrived quickly considering she’s vegan and there was plenty to choose from I ordered the tuna with quinoa it took a while for mine to arrive but was well worth. The wait would definitely recommend and will definitely be back to place whenever get time. `darren huston
LOVE THE FOOD.
The pork buns are to die for and so is the beef ramen.
This place is authentic. Loved it so much that took parcels from the airport too!
Kept licking the plate!
There's nothing to not love.
The juices were fab too.
Sucker for Japanese and Asian food and when people get the flavours and cooking right, they win my heart.
Wagamama, you won it fair and square!!!
I hope she gets to read this-
Biiiig Shoutout to Marina for all the amazing conversations and the best suggestions!
You go girl! ❤️
You'd find her at the Outlet near Charring Cross.

The first time I tried Wagamama was in Amsterdam. The experience was no different in the original location. Inspired in the fast paced Japanese ramen bars, the dishes are full of flavor and beautifully executed. An inexpensive place to have great Asian food.
I really loved the place.
Magnificent, very gorgeous.
One of the most beloved reason to me is Covent Garden area. It's full of thrill, happening and fun.
Wow x
This applies only to the Leicester Square outlet which I have strikingly found the best in terms of quality and taste of the food. I don't get this taste in any other wagamama in London. Prawns tempura, firecracker chicken with rice and asahi and my day is made! The restaurant is at the lower ground level and spacious as compared to other branches. Ambience is quite casual, comforting and minimalistic. Services is very quick and efficient. They can customise any dish depending on your taste.
Everytime I'm in England I have to stop by a Wagamama. It is always interesting to eat here, and the food is always consistent no matter where in England you are. (I have eaten at Wagamama in York, Bath, and a couple in London.)
I was here in May. The service is always good and the food is good too. It is by no means authentic, but it is the company's take on Asian cuisine.
Standard wagamama food and service. Personally, i'm not a big fan as I find the noodles here more 'pan asian' than actual asian. the service was decent, the pork ribs tender and the chicken ramen as good as always. MacD of noodles.
Wagamama is definitely one of my top 5 restaurants in London I love the layout plus their green tea is free lol. I highly recommend this place.
The food here is simple and healthy. It's a must for those who like it with an Asian twist. True value for money. And don't leave without trying their innovative fresh juices.
Service and appearance good, but food was bland, but it came fast.
Decent after theatre meal, the noodles were quite good, the gyoza surprisingly indelicate and leaden.
Don't go by the ambience of the restaurant and just enter if you wish to have some mouth watering Japanese or Pan asian food. The restaurant looks more like a mess and less like a food chain. My pet order has been Yasai Chilli Men for its amazing preparation and great asian taste. At times they have special drink menu (like fresh juice menu) which is a good alternative to normal soft or hard drinks.
Wagamama is my favourite restaurant!! The food is incredible and everything is freshly made and pretty fast too!!
Must try the cheesecake! It's divine!!
Wagamama is a good place for japenese and pan asian food- there are a plenty of options even for vegetarians :) Didn't have to wait much to get a table too.
Wagamama has always been my favourite. Although I'm restricted to just the vegetarian or fish meal options, Wagamama gives me a huge selection to choose from.
I had the chance to discover my new favourite dish, yassai yaki soba. This contains teppan fried noodles with egg and vegetables. The noodles were well cooked and the vegetables were tender. I also noticed that the potion size at this restaurant was bigger than what I've been having at other branches. I also tried squid with chilli oil and it has become secured it's place as my first option when picking sides.
The restaurant itself was clean and the customer service I received was of good standards. I would recommend this place for a meal with friends or family or for a quick lunch or catch up.

The store:
First appearances, I was confused at where the restaurant is, as the front of the store is very small. The secret is that the restaurant is downstairs, underground. You don’t feel like you’re underground though when you’re inside, the aesthetic is bright and open. They do have a couple of seats outside, but it feels quite separated / closed from the rest of the store. I arrived around 9.45pm on a Thursday (Halloween as a matter of fact), so it may well have been that they had removed the front of house member of staff already in eager anticipation for the 11pm close.
The staff:
Quite a mixed bag...
Our server was great; welcoming, friendly, bubbly, polite, hospitable.
Fast paced trying to serve everybody quickly yet still providing a great level of customer service. I asked her name, it’s Marina. Thank you Marina for great service, keep being your awesome self.
However, the floor manager (I guess? They had a black shirt on, different to the rest of the staff)...
Rude, brash, hostile. Certainly wasn’t welcoming, and it made it a bit awkward. This vibe was matched by reality when we saw her barking orders at the other waitresses. She did a good job of making it appear like it was a stressful Saturday night, despite there only being 4 groups (including mine) dining on the restaurant floor. Strange...
The food:
From the vegan menu, I had the Kara Burosu Ramen, Mixed Mushroom & Aubergine Steam Buns and also a special request of trying the Gaz Oakley vegan egg. The vegan egg is a fantastic creation and I am glad I tried it. The steam buns are even more fantastic than I remember. The Kara Burosu is still pretty good, but I think I prefer the previous recipe which saw it more of a thicker curry soup. Unless it was just that dish specifically that was slightly more watery than usual. I’ll have to have it again soon and update this review ;). Other dishes from other Wagamama’s that I’ve had and can recommend include the Vegatsu Katsu Curry (ft. Seitan), the Pad Thai and Wok Fried Greens, which are all great.
The price:
I was pleasantly surprised by the total cost when I got the bill for our group. I had anticipated it would be a bit more than it was; it averaged around £18 per person, in a group of four with a couple of shared plates and a main each. The price is matched with other stores around the country, and so wasn’t any extra for being in the tourist town area of central London. Compared to other restaurants in the area, Wagamama is quite affordable.
Overall, I love Wagamama. This particular branch was a mixed bag, however our server Marina made our experience a great one. Because of this, I’ll return to the store again if I’m hungry and in the area.
The ramen is really good! My family enjoyed our meal here, which is priced a little higher than expected. This restaurant was also conveniently placed near the National Museum whilst we adventured around London as tourists. Staff are very sweet and the food comes quick even during peak hours. The only disappointment was that it was not entirely Japanese (since it was westernised) though it was delicious either way. A lovely restaurant and would come again!
Very helpful service from the manager as one of our party had a food allergy. Food arrived quickly and was the usual standard for Wagamama. Staff also checked we were OK regularly and brought the bill promptly. Bathrooms were clean.
One of my favourite places to have lunch. The chain generally has great food and brilliant staff, but this Leicester Square branch has always been my destination.
The place is like a basement with many tables and little private tables too. Close to Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, Soho and Covent Garden.
It can be especially busy in lunch hours during business days. Apart from that, you can always find a place to sit.
The staff is very friendly, but always seem super busy so not very chatty.
Hope you enjoy it
The food is Extra Good, the choices are a lot, also with Gluten Free options, the staff is kind and prepared, we went three times in two days and we will come again.
Food was so delicious and staff very lovely. The seating is communal benchs but when we asked, the waiter found a more private table. We were lucky as it wasn't too busy. If your not keen on having close neighbours this basement restaurant might not be the one for you.
Very very very good vegan options here!!
The vegan pad Thai was the best and we also really liked the bang bang broccoli and the veggie gyozas.
Very good food, a little bit noisy but a great and fast service
Great and not fat food - nudles, rice, meet or vegeterian. Everyone could find something for themselves. I enjoyed atmosphere as well.
Had Chicken Ramen which was above average, nothing too spectacular. However even though the place was not even half full, the service and food delivery were rather long. Had to wait around 10 minutes for the bill alone during lunch time.
