"I had a wonderful afternoon at this restaurant, which catered exceptionally well to my vegetarian dietary needs. Instead of the typical boring sandwiches, they offered a variety of delicious options. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—a true hidden gem! The decor features amazing artwork from around the world. The service was excellent, and our waiter was very attentive. I will definitely return in the future!"

"I loved the vegetarian Laksa noodle soup and will go back for it. Quantity was huge, fairly priced... could not finish...each spoon was full of flavours the best I've had. But a bad experience some confusion with the vegetarian wonton soup order... realised it was prawn midway my daughter was eating it...she felt queasy when realised it was prawn and the staff just did nothing about it. When it appeared on the bill too staff member showed me the menu how no vegetarian option is there and I had to playback my discussion of checking with waiter that if the vegetarian option was there and after that confirmed the ordered. Eventually the manager removed it from the bill but yes it did made me feel sad as I was simply loving my laksa soup. The desert was over priced and not great. But yes, it was just a one off experience...the food is great and I will surely go back for the laksa soup."

"We went to Wagamama Salisbury for lunch, having been quite a few times before but not for several months. I’m not sure what might have changed but it was a real disappointment. On the plus side, the service was reasonable and both the tata squid and hoisin duck buns were tasty and quick to the table. However, the tantoman beef ramen and grilled chicken ramen were both very bland with broth that I can only describe as tasting like school dinner gravy. Both were left less than half finished. Equally, the chicken and prawn pad Thai was quite greasy and again, bland with no spice heat at all. The dish was saved through the addition of lashings of soy sauce and chilli flakes at the table, but that shouldn’t have had to have been the case. Despite seeing the ramen bowls hardly touched, our server didn’t ask if all was okay, they simply cleared the table and reminded me that I could pay via an app. All of this coming in at a whisker shy of £70 as well, (yes £70 for three noodle dishes and some squid balls) left a very bitter taste in my mouth, pun intended. I won’t be back."

"for the first time was the visit of wagamama and I had the vegatsu curry and some veggie gyozas. most dishes have a vegan version (and it is not just the meat or fish removed, which was great. this particular industry said they were understaffed when I left, but eating came about 15 minutes and the staff was super nice so I imagine it is even better under normal circumstances!"

"Since being vegan Wagamama has become one of my favourite chain restaurants. They have a huge separate vegan menu which offers so many interesting different options and they are constantly adding new things to the menu! The staff are always so accommodating and friendly too! I have tried the vegan ramen which was one of the best vegan ramen dishes I’ve had! It was so spicy and the amount of toppings in the dish were amazing! Also, I tried the vegan squid (mushrooms) which were so tasty and I’d never had anything like it since being vegan and they were 10/10! One of my favourite dishes here is the vegan bao buns which were light and fluffy with super tasty filling and great texture! The only thing I have tried here so far that I haven’t liked is the vegan gyozas which tasted so dry and grass-like; I wouldn’t order them again. Overall, I love Wagamama as a vegan and it will always be my go-to favourite vegan chain restaurant!"

"Overall great restaurant. I would recommend you come a little early, or get ready to wait, since it tends to have very long queues to go in, especially during the weekend. Once seated we were served very quickly and the waitress was just amazing. We didn't manage to finish all our food and she very nicely assisted us in packing the leftovers so that we could take them home with us. The food is really good, however I think you can find a few more authentic restaurants in Edinburgh. Nevertheless, had a great experience. They are very allergen friendly. Extensive menu."

"Love Wagamama, But the Southbank one pushes the limit to what is acceptable! Let's first set the scene, Sunday early evening (17:00), walking along and think let's pop in. A small queue is common which was the case of 7 people (3 groups), so we thought let's join the wait. The restaurant itself, on this particular evening was not excessively busy so we had assumed our sitting would be quick. Staff did not come outside to tell us how long the wait was going to be, or engage with people in the queue to get an understanding of what seating demands were necessary. We continued to wait, 15 minutes later we were at the front of the queue, then nothing... No engagement from staff, people were leaving the restaurant and the queue outside was growing. After 10 minutes I braved going in and was told to go back outside and the queue time is 15/20 minutes. To which i informed the staff we've already been waiting 25 minutes (Staff didn't seem happy). I left and took my place at the front of the queue, people contained to leave while 4 staff huddled together laughing about something (maybe us all outside in the cold). Finally we were seated, and at which point the usual Wagamama experience kicks in with good food, reasonably priced and a casual dining experience. As a customer though to have such a terrible initial experience and no apology for the delay just seems to be a fair deduction. Maybe it was an off day but with such limited places along the Southbank at least having a smile on your face and engaging with customers would have made things better."

"Myself and my husband ate here to kick off our honeymoon. The food in Sakanas was absolutely incredible! We had the beef teriyaki and Korean steak gambi with jasmine rice, and both were gorgeous. Steak was melt in the mouth, incredible flavour and filling. Not the cheapest but well worth what you pay. Nice atmosphere, could have done with some air con as it was very hot in there! The only criticism we had was that the guy serving our table had zero customer service skills. We didn’t get a name but he was the tall server with his hair up in a top knot. No check back to see how our food was, zero conversation, came across as pretty rude and didn’t bother asking if we’d enjoyed the food. It was a shame as some of the other servers were really friendly but we didn’t tip because of his service. Otherwise, lovely meal out! Would definitely recommend for the food itself."

"Never again!! Visited as a group of 4. Asked if we’d been to waga’s before . We all said yes. Was told ‘so you understand the food all comes out at different times’. We did and understood. However, when 3 people order starters and mains and the mains come out before the starters, it didn’t start well. I understand the food coming out in dribs and drabs, but surely the starters should still come out before mains!!? What is the point in having a starters and mains section on the menu!? I didn’t order a starter. I ordered a chicken Katsu curry. 5 minutes after everyone had finished their mains, followed by starters; the server approached me. “What are you missing?” My reply- “a katsu chicken curry”. Server- “Ok, I’ll check with the kitchen now” After checking with the kitchen, she came back over and told me they were very sorry for the delay. The chef was just plating it up. 10 minutes later, it still hadn’t arrived. Another server appeared and took over. The previous server never appeared after. Was told again that the dish was just about to be served, they’re not sure what the problem was but it has been taken off the bill. The curry arrived a few minutes later, 15 mins after everyone else had finished eating their mains……followed by starters. I was appreciative of it being taken off the bill and the servers apology. However, tbh, I probably wouldn’t have eaten or payed for it after it arrived. The chicken was overcooked and cut terribly. Probably half the portion size I have received in previous visits. The sticky rice was dry, and the salad tasted like it should have been thrown away 24 hours previously. Thank goodness we didn’t order dessert. That would have probably arrived before the ramen main course and followed by a dessert of prawn wrapped in seaweed. Nearly £100 later, felt very annoyed. Won’t re-visit"

"Date of dining 11.07.23 I’ve been here a couple of times and I have to admit I’m not a fan, I’ve always found the food to be tasteless. However I had an all4one voucher given to me by my employer, we chose to give wagamamas another try as it had been a couple of years since we’d visited in the past. The bill came to just a little over £50, again disappointed with the tasteless food but hey it was a free meal (or so we thought) so it didn’t bother us, it was just nice to get out. Upon paying the bill we were served by the manager who told us quite frankly that the card would not work, that they have loads of problems with them and it’s always happening. She scanned it twice on my request and she was right, it didn’t work. I asked her why she was allowing customers to dine at the restaurant without pre warning about these cards either via their social media platforms or by giving customers the common decency to let us know before we ordered just incase, to save people having the misfortune like myself of going out for what would be believed to be a free meal to then having to pay for it especially if they couldn’t afford it, and her reply was”oh yeah that’s a good idea I never thought of that”. After a couple of minutes of expressing my annoyance her speaking to her manager, I was still told I’d have to pay the balance. So now I’ve come to check the card the next day and it appears I’ve paid not just once with my own money, but twice as they’ve cleared the £50 balance which was on the card. To me, wagamamas are pulling the wool over their customers eyes. This could have easily been avoided."
"In summary, I have visited this restaurant regularly and I enjoy the food, although it may not be authentic Japanese cuisine. However, I find the waitstaff to be overly attentive."

"I ordered the chicken and prawn pad thai, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. It resembled pad thai in appearance, but the taste was lacking and didn't quite match up to the traditional flavors."

"I am a regular customer at wagamama, food comes out at different times and thats fine but my partners food coming out 25 minutes after mine is too long i had finished. We did ask someone and they said not much longer, when the dish came it was covered in onions which we had asked our waitress to have without. The waitress did apologise and assured us she wrote remove onions but laughed off the mistake and offered no compensation not even a new dish. This was so disappointing and dampened our evening, probably won’t return to this particular restaurant which is a shame as we eat here often : Vegetarian options: 50% of the menu is vegan Parking: Huge multi story in complex"

"I had an issue with the amount of time it took for my food to come, by the time it came the person opposite me had finished there food half an hour ago. I know this can happen as it was busy. I would have been upset by this however the lady serving me (sorry I did not get your name) spoke to the manager for me. She apologised and rectified the issue quickly. 5 star service."
