The first Wagamama noodle bar opened in 1992, near the British Museum in Central London, and was immediately a success. With several noodle bars in London and now nationwide, Wagamama offers a fast efficient service in a clean and modern environment.
If you think that japanese food is only sushi (as I did...) give Wagamama a go! As soon as you get familiar with the menu you'll definitely enjoy it! I went 6-7 times in Canary Wharf and was never disappointed by what I picked! I don't know about other Wagamamas in London but Canary Wharf restaurant is nice and they are super quick in finding you a table (even in the busy lunch time) and most of all in serving you the food. Only one thing annoys me a bit... you get all the food almost at the same time, so if you get a starter you can't eat it before the main course hit the table! Probably that's why they call them side dishes even if they are a lot more like starters... Anyway, my favourite picks are - for starters/side dishes - ebi katsu (deep-fried black tiger prawns in panko breadcrumbs served with a spicy red chilli and garlic sauce and garnished with a wedge of lime) and negima yakitori (skewers of grilled chicken and spring onion coated in yakitori sauce), while best main courses are chicken katsu curry (chicken fillet deep-fried in panko breadcrumbs, served with a light curry sauce and japanese-style rice garnished with a combination of mixed leaves and red pickles) and all the teppan (noodles cooked on a hot, flat griddle). If you don't have an important meeting after lunch and you are a daring person then try kare noodle (noodles in a fantastic coconut based soup). Why daring?? Because it's so easy to spot your shirt with the soup! The bill... if you don't eat as a pig the thumb rule says roughly 12 each... including the tip to the friendly and nice waiters!
