Wagamama in Newcastle upon Tyne

Amazing tatse, high quality food with reasonable price

I'm writing this review based on a trip I made quite a while ago now, which I forgot to post. The food tasted amazing, however, on return both me and my partner became very ill, showing symptoms of food poisoning. This was extremely disappointing.

What can I say about this place, other than the food is lush, the staff are amazing and the venue is outstanding. So many vegan options, I always end up wanting one of everything. It's on they expensive side when you have a small budget, but as a treat it's my go to place.

Highly recommend this place for Japanese food. Go once and I am sure you are gonna get addicted. I love wagamama for their sea food starters and noodles♥️ They also have vegan friendly dishes 🌱

A super friendly and welcoming Waga with great chefs, prompt service and a unique ambience.

My first visit to wagamama and I must say it was a mixed experience. We had to queue for 10 mins before a table was available and the chap monitoring the queue was friendly and informative. Once seated another really jolly young man talked us through the menu and how to order and pay. A young lady was our server and despite seeming friendly when taking my order, she was less so when there was a 10 min gap between some of the mains coming out, which always so disappointing as it ruined the experience as two mains were nearly done by the time the rest arrived. Her response was simply they'll arrive when they're done when I asked after 5 mins of waiting. Once the food did arrive it was delicious. I'll be back, but not in a hurry

Incredibly average and over-priced. Though the staff were very sweet, this didn't counter the fact that the seating is uncomfortable, the tables tiny and the food is bland to say the least. While I understand the eat-and-go principle, the pressure on the staff for rapid table turnaround leads to a strong feeling as a diner that they can't get rid of you quickly enough. In terms of the food itself, I can't see how they justify their prices. The starters and mains have little going for them in terms of ingredients, preparation or flavour. The menu overall is lazy and lacking in creativity. Drinks were priced fairly. Newcastle's Chinatown is just round the corner and, especially given how the offerings there have improved in variety over recent years, I'd suggest that you head over there for a much more interesting, comfortable and relaxed dining experience. Two stars is generous.

Being a vegan this place is heaven. A whole menu full of exciting, healthy tasty food. Food is served hot, freshly cooked and very quick. Love the fresh juices and herbal teas. Why can't all restaurants offer vegan food like this. Well done wagamama

First time going Wagamamas, really good food and staff! The lady who greeted us outside whilst we were queuing was so lovely, polite and a pleasure to meet :)

My favourite restaurant ever! The best ramen and Asian food! I have been to this exact restaurant 3 times now within the past year. We always get in straight away, the prices are reasonable and staff is friendly. Food comes out quite fast.With the Eat Out To Help Out we paid £23 for two drinks, 3 starters and 2 mains which was a great discount!We did have to wait 50 minutes to get in last Monday, which was the same time we were inside for, but it was worth waiting for and it's understandable due to the discount.The peach iced tea is the best, the katsu curry is a great classic and the ramens are my favourite!Edamame is a go to favourite, the squid starter is so nice and creamy, the bang bang cauliflower seems really popular I think it's nice but quite simple and the crispy prawns are nice as well!
