I have and liked it, but I think it's a bit overpriced.

I went to one in Glasgow city centre and was a bit apprehensive but the food was great and I didn't find it too pricey.

Waggas are fantastic, especially the Chicken Katsu Curry

£7 - £10 for a bowl of bland ramen noodles? Overpriced student food.

People rave about Wagamamma for some reason but they're nothing special. Just average Asian fusion fodder.

I love it. It's not that authentic or cheap, but you can pay a lot more for a lot worse.

I went for the first one ever the other day (High Street Kensington) and I enjoyed it loads didnt feel too bloated after and the portions were huge. Only thing I didnt like was the fact that the seats were like prison dining hall - although LOVED the free green tea!!

Yeah its ok, if they were to drop thier prices by 25% then id say they were good value for money.

but theyre not going to when theyre filled to the rafters with people willing to fork out a tenner for lunch

Considering how often this site is full of people praising Subway and Nando's, I can't see why Wagamama gets such a raw deal. My usual dish is £7.50 for a huge plate of noodles and chicken, is that expensive?

I love wagamma's . A lot of the food is surpisingly low fat too, but watch out for the chicken Katsu curry as it's shockingly high in calories - 1300!! But I love the soups and the yaki soba is good too. They are all very filling and quite low cal, if you are like me watching what you eat etc.

The Brent Cross restaurant is always full of mothers with pushchairs, blocking up the place.

They often have vouchers on their website for buy one get one free offers which makes it pretty good value.

You wanna get down to Hare and Tortoise, the best Asian Fusion restaurants in London, and cheaper than Wagamama too!

I didn't say it was a bargain, but you pay £4 for a Chinese takeaway, so £7 for table service food isn't expensive.

If you go to the moneysavingexpert.com website there's some offer for free food at some branches!

Not that keen on japanese food to be honest. But i really like the SE Asian place in Soho, WokWok. That's amazing. Their Vietmanese Curry is wonderful

I went once and wasn't impressed. The branch I went to has since caught fire. They claimed it was "small" but it destroyed the shop below as well.
