Wagamama

Chain Japanese restaurant that is pretty consistent from location to location. The food doesn’t taste super authentic but for some quick food and friendly service it’s not bad. They place your order on their electronic system and can tell you in advance if they are out of the selected item. This is always nice as I hate when you go to a restaurant and place your order and 20 minutes later they tell you oh..sorry we are out. I tried a stir fried spicy shrimp dish here and it was spicy spicy spicy! Yum.

My Favourite place to eat right now..LOVE THIER CHICKEN KATSU CURRY! MMMMMMM drools

My first time at a Wagamama, and it was wonderful! As an American, it was a bit odd to eat in suuch a relaxed setting (long tables rather than small individual tops), but the waitstaff was nice if rushed (we came during a busy lunch), and the food was warm and filling. Definately a treat rather than a staple as it is expensive, but overall very nice!

Another in the chain of stylish canteen faux-Japanese eateries, with the usual range of noodle and rice-based dishes. All very tasty and quickly brought to your table, but a tad expensive - and given the Chop Chop Noodle Bar is literally around the corner, that might be a cheaper, if more low-fi experience.

Fast service, friendly staff, nice food. Absolutely love this place. The menu is pretty standard just like the other Wagamama. Being in the new Westfield shopping centre means that you can enjoy a nice healthy meal between shops. I’d recommend their Chilli Beef Ramen and Raw Juice. Note: They do have the most awkwardly located toilets… it’s about 3 flights of stairs above the restaurants (I guess it’s a good way to work off that duck dumplings starters).
