Wagamama in Trafford

The Tantanmen Beef Brisket Ramen is amazing!! I get it every time. I usually get the spicy broth but for those who don't like spicy food I'm sure the regular broth is just as fantastic. The Kimchi is really well made and compliments all the other flavors so well.Really friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful experience every time.

Awesome taste of food and they were good enough to give us extra spicy sauce. Service can be made bit fast from order taking to getting it on table. Otherwise a great place to enjoy Japanese Thai food.

It was not a great start to the night out. Once seated (just after 7pm) the order was taken not too long after. Normally the service is quite quick, even at busy periods, but today no drinks or food had arrived after 25 minutes. A quick word with the manager and the waitress was back to retake the order. Apparently original had been lost. It was nearly 55 minutes before we had all the food and drink on the table. At the his point we had a visit from the manager, who picked up the tab, and a new waiter, Dennis, who took care of us after that. Food was good, as always. Five stars awarded because food was great and we were looked after once the problem had occurred.

Have been here *multiple* times. It never disappoints! The staff are friendly and quick! The waiting time for food is very shirt, and the quality of the food is normally brilliant! As somebody who has came here atleast 3 times a year since 2019, I can say that it is one of the best places in the food court! The only con is that there is almost always a queue, so that should be sorted out. Apart from that, it is brilliant!

I had a day off with my partner today and decided to pop into wagamama for a quick bite.I'm so glad we did. Firstly, the menu is 50% plant based. There is literally a vegan dish available for every meat dish, and you can really taste how much work has gone into making each dish mimic its meat counterpart.For starters, I got the vegan chilli 'squid' (lightly battered pulled king oyster mushrooms. shichimi. sticky dipping sauce with fresh chilli+ coriander) now one of the things I really miss since becoming vegan (nearly three years ago) is fish but this dish totally has the same tough, chewy feel of squid. The batter is lovely and light and no sign of excess oil, just beautifully crisp.My partner got the sticky vegan 'ribs' (mushroom + soya protein ‘ribs’. sweet + spicy sticky sauce. sesame seeds. spring onion) and again the dish has the chewy, tender meat feel to it and the marinade was delicately rich, not over powering at all or sickly.For the main, I got no duck donburi (shredded seitan + shiitake mushrooms in a cherry hoisin sauce. edamame beans. kimchee. coconut + sriracha vegan ‘egg’ made in collaboration with gaz oakley. cucumber. spring onion. chillies. coriander. sesame seeds. Brown rice). It is a full-on dish, and everything gels together so well, just the right portion of each, so nothing over powers the other. Even the vegan egg was surprisingly good and very clever, just a bit on the soft side, but that's forgiven as it is made from coconut.My partner got the teriyaki vegan 'chicken’ ramen (seasoned soya protein in a spicy teriyaki sauce. udon noodles. sweetcorn. bok choi. chilli sambal paste. spring onion. chilli. coriander. chilli oil. vegetable broth) the soya protein tasted rich but a bit chewy, almost like pork. My partner enjoyed every part of this dish apart from the udon noodles, which there was a lot of.For dessert, I got the banana katsu (banana in crispy panko breadcrumbs. miso caramel ice cream. Toffee sauce) absolutely divine, you must try!My partner had the chocolate orange cake (flourless chocolate orange cake. Miso caramel ice cream) reluctantly shared a bit with me and said he could eat another, so that pretty speaks for itself, lol.For drinks we ordered the ginger 'no-jito' really fresh and spicy and helped cleanse the pallet after each dish and of course we got the mandatory glass of water.The service was ace and super friendly, with great insight from the staff into the different dishes and giving recommendations 👍🏼I asked if they did cooking classes, which unfortunately they don't, but it was recommended I have a look on YouTube and search wagamama Steve, and guess what...that's exactly what I'm going to do .

Love this place, service always excellent and friendly. Food amazing, would give 5 stars but I think it's a tad expensive

Tasty food and prices were great too.Staff were attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.When thinking of having your lunch here, even during the week, you may have to wait for a short while (eg 5 mins). Pretty popular.

Don't normally do wagamama, but this place hit the spot. Great food and drinks, the vegan options went down well with the vegetarian in the group.Had some nice drink options, too. Well worth a visit if you're in the Trafford centre.

Amazing food if you like Asian food!Recently made 50% menu vegan/vegetarian so more variety for those who don't eat meat or are gluten free (attached picture is the vegan ribs ramen and banana fritters, if highly suggest these they're so good!)

There's good reasons this queue can get long!Ate at Wagamama for the first time ever yesterday;I don't often 'wow' at foods, but wooooow 😦❤️The lollipop kushiyaki prawns in chilli/lime (side dish) are everythinggg 😍🤤My partner and I's mains were incredible and the health juices were soo good!Staff are fantastic; the manager lady is amazing; and prices are actually brill, too.A great big Yes,and a definite Recommend! 🧡
