Wagamama in Leeds

Popped in here on our way back from Manchester (to Newcastle) as I was craving something spicy. Food was good, especially the wok fried greens and firecracker tofu. They do let you know that all the food will come out as it's ready rather than starters then mains and while normally I don't mind this, my partner's main came out about 8 minutes before mine, by which time he was almost done. And one of our small plates (bao buns) arrived when we'd both pretty much finished everything. Made it kind of a disjointed meal. The waitress also started to take some of our empty plates away while I was still eating which is a bit of a peeve of mine, but just personal preference.

Absolutely lovely! I had the tantanmen beef brisket ramen; great value for money, I was stuffed! Great atmosphere. Try and get there earlier than 7pm on a Friday if you can, it gets packed.

Siempre encontrar este lugar muy servicial y buena comida con también buen servicio. Disfrutamos de nuestra comida en este lugar, volvería

Had a catch up with a friend- lovely food, great service- all we needed!

Food is OK. The atmosphere, pretty reasonable... But my 14yr old daughter was scammed by a waiter here on 12th October 2024. She was made to pay for her meal TWICE. After speaking to 3 different 'managers' and told that a refund would be processed, almost 4 weeks on and no sign of this money coming back. I am increasingly frustrated by the lack of support. She proved to the FoH manager that the money had been taken twice. Keep getting fobbed off and nothing is happening.

I absolutely loved eating here although it is a rare treat. Normally it's a bit out of my price range but that's not to say the food isn't worth the money because that wouldn't be fair - the food was delicious and worth every penny. Staff were delightful and the ambience was relaxing.

I recently dined at Wagamama white rose Leeds , I was thoroughly impressed. The menu offers a brilliant variety of dishes, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The service was fantastic—attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Plus, the prices were reasonable, making it a great value for the quality you receive. Convenient parking made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend Wagamama for anyone looking for a satisfying meal in a welcoming atmosphere

Tuvimos una comida realmente genial, servida rápidamente y caliente. Pero lo único que realmente hizo la experiencia fue la encantadora camarera Ellie que nos cuidó. Ella era muy servicial, amable y eficiente. Gracias.

First time visiting and loved it out waitress Ellie was really friendly and helpful. Will definitely come again

Food was perfect but our waiter had long curly hair and it wasn’t tied up and it looked unprofessional and didn’t want it in our food.

Rushed service by a smelly perfume covered up BO server. Gross experience when trying to eat. Almost puked.

A mi hijo le encanta el wagamama pero ahora siento que se hacen demasiado grandes para sus botas. Hemos estado wagamama en diferentes lugares y diferentes experiencias, pero esto fue lo peor de lejos. Sí, sabemos como clientes que la comida viene en diferentes momentos o vienen como se prepararon, pero no deberían venir tan retrasados cuando alguien con quien comes ha terminado la suya y todavía estoy esperando. Mencioné al servidor que mi hijo ha terminado el suyo y todavía estoy esperando. Dice que de 3 a 4 minutos más en serio, así que mi hijo me va a mirar comiendo. Dije que cancelara la mía y no se disculparon ni ella ni el personal. Los servidores siempre han sido altos y poderosos como si fueran dueños del lugar. Y luego me dice que lo hemos cancelado aquí. Como si fuera a pagar por algo que ni siquiera estaba listo. No como si sus precios fueran razonables. .. si pagamos tanto al menos tenemos algo de cortesía y además enviamos estos servidores para algún curso de atención al cliente. De todos modos en general actitud repugnante.

Usual Waga food and service. Prices have risen in recent years but are in-line with similar restaurants. On this occasion we did have have to feedback that the food was on the cool side, possibly due to the very cold plates and bowls. The food was still delicious 😋

Omg the best waitress in the world food was lovely too

Ellie is amazing, great service. Also lovely food xx

Our waitress was Ellie and I have to say, she was one of the most loveliest people I've ever met! She gave us some amazing recommendations and was so nice to us! She wished my mum a lovely happy birthday when I took her in for a birthday dinner and we cannot thank her enough! She made us feel valued and special while we were there and the recommendations of food and drink were 10/10! She deserves some good recognition for her work and even a raise if you ask me! You have a top notch employee in your hands!

Solo mi segunda vez cenando en un Wagamama así que estaba interesado en intentarlo de nuevo ya que mi primera experiencia fue buena. El anfitrión nos recibió alegremente y nos mostró a una mesa, nos dio el menú y dijo que nuestro servidor vendría y tomar nuestro pedido. Después de mirar el menú elegimos un plato de fideos y un plato de ramen y un par de guarniciones y un par de bebidas. Esperamos unos 15 minutos y uno de nuestros platos fue sacado, otros dos fueron sacados en pedazos, tuvimos que preguntar sobre nuestro cuarto para ver si lo estábamos consiguiendo. Parecía ordenado que todo saliera individualmente, puede ser que se base en cuando la comida está lista que la envían en lugar de cuando todo está listo. Esto podría estar bien si puedes compartir platos, pero no mucho si uno de ustedes es vegetariano y el otro no, así que solo tienes que sentarte y esperar a que llegue tu comida. El personal estaba bien, no era antipático, pero tampoco demasiado amable. No me gustó el hecho de que cuando estaban de descanso utilizaron una de las mesas de la parte trasera del restaurante como zona de descanso, posiblemente porque no tienen sala de descanso en la parte trasera, pero personalmente no creo que se vea bien el personal sentado allí en los teléfonos, comiendo y charlando, particularmente cuando estaba ocupado. En general, la experiencia estaba bien, encontré los precios un poco empinados más de £ 50 para el almuerzo, no es un lugar en el que comería regularmente, pero lo recomendaría para que la gente lo pruebe y tome su propia decisión,

DO NOT PAY USING QR CODE ! Very disappointed with my visit here today. On arrival they encouraged me to pay using the QR code which they provided. After finishing my meal I paid using the QR code , the money had left my bank account however the website was saying that my payment was pending. The manager then had me pay again , this time using the card machine. Meaning that I have paid twice for my meal, they say I have to wait 5 working days for the initial payment that I made to be refunded. He also said this is an issue they have been having frequently, if they know they are having issues with payment through the QR code then they should warn customers not to pay that way instead of encouraging this form of payment. Very frustrated that I have had to pay twice for my meal as it's not the cheapest place to go eat and now I'm out of pocket. They need to fix this issue instead of wiping it under the rug. Won't be visiting again!

Went on a Sunday evening. Nice peaceful atmosphere. Not too busy or loud at all like some wagamamas. Although tablea weren't full so could be different if so. But it's not as big as others, so gives a better vibe I think. Staff friendly and quick. Food banging as always, very flavourful. I had the pork belly ramen 😋

Usually have a good experience here, but tonight’s service was well below par, had to walk after being ignored by our server.

Good food, don't agree that the starters come when they're ready as sides, but policy. Servers and seaters could probably work in sync a little better, but will definitely return

Bit disappointed. Haven't been for around 2 months. Went tonight, ordered the beef brisket ramen... Don't waste your money may as well order a vegetable one. you got like a tablespoon of beef if that... The spaghetti was all clumped together and the broth was tasteless. Gone down hill. So sad was my fav place to eat.

Por favor, asegúrese de que su personal esté correctamente vestido que las mujeres le sirvan con pantalones cortos de ciclismo negro fue muy desagradable. La decencia común en un restaurante es sin duda una necesidad!

Fantastic food brilliant service place is always full because food is lovely.

Lovely good, chilled atmosphere and Ellie is the most sweetest server. Happy to help, attentive and lovely to chat with. Thank you 🙏🏻

It’s very nice here every time I go I always enjoy a nice meal. And their drinks are good too. It is expensive but I can see why

Delicious food , excellent service by really friendly staff. I had the chicken katsu salad and it was lovely. Definitely one one of the best places to eat at the White Rose Centre.

Wanted to say thank you to Ellie, for making our visit to Wagamamas worth while. She was so friendly and welcoming and great to talk to, amazing customer service! The food was also lovely, hope to visit soon!

Great food and amazing customer service from ellie. She was lovely and so nice.

We visited on a friday tea time so it was starting to get a bit busy as we arrived. We were seated quickly and our server, Alex was very helpful indeed. I had my 83 year old mum with us who had never been before. She was a little confused with the menu and Alex was very patient and helpful. As we left, my mum thanked him for being so helpful and told him he had a nice smile! She is looking forward to returning. Thankyou for making her day.

Elli was fantastic so polite always smiling and making sure we was happy all the time with everything. Much respect xx

Today I came to wagamamas for my second time which I’ve never been to the white rose one before and my experience here couldn’t of been any better the staff was amazing especially Emily who was working where I was eating she helped me find the right dish for what suited me as I’m very fussy but wanted to try something different she was so helpful and polite 😁big thankyou to her

My first time of going today, Emily the waiter was so lovely & Smily😁 I’m extremely fussy with food & she helped me pick the right meal & beautiful cocktail which I most definitely enjoyed all thanks to her & I’ll definitely be back, Emily went out of her way & was so helpful Thankyou so much x

“Impressed with customer dealing” We went for dinner with my boyfriend around 7:30 pm. We ordered 2 dishes. I picked a new curry with coconut milk and ramen (with beef) for my partner. Obviously ramen was delivered much earlier than my dish. So the lady who did service said: thank you for waiting and understanding this dish is free for you. Also manager Rory came to us to make sure we are good and apologized for the delay. That is a great example of caring about own reputation and guests feelings. And of course food was delicious 😋 Thank you!

Excellent service, food as usual on point and would like to thank the staff for gifting my mum free dessert ( her birthday) wich we really appreciate it ….. big thanks to Georgina and lorry for the 5* service .

Amazing food, great portion size and flavour. Laurie was really friendly and helpful, had a lovely conversation with him whilst paying.

I've been in wagamama in London before but in here everything is disgusting. Food, service, ambient..... Never again, sorry guys you could do better than this. I know what kind of company is wagamama. This is not the standard that we were used in London. Try to improve.

Very good food and good service

Always great to food and service but man has it got expensive to feed 2 adults, 2 younger children with zero alcohol on the bill.

We didn't have to wait very long to be seated although it was peak time and the service and food were very good and prices remain reasonable!

Got a take out last week, service was quick, they offered me a seat and drink whilst I waited. Food lovely, restaurant clean and tidy

At Wagamama White Rose, the food was delicious, boasting vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients. However, the wait time was notably long, which detracted from the overall experience. Despite the delay, the attentive staff and inviting atmosphere helped alleviate some of the frustration. The menu offered a diverse selection of Asian-inspired dishes, catering to various tastes and dietary preferences. Prices were reasonable considering the portion sizes and quality of the food. Overall, while the wait was a downside, the culinary experience was still enjoyable, making it worth a visit for those with patience.

One of the best wagamamas we've been to. Food, service and atmosphere is great.

Me and my Gran go to wagamamas at white rose every weekend, not only is the food always amazing but the staff are always so attentive and making sure we’re enjoying our food. We’ve become very familiar with most of the servers, particularly Laurie, Dawid, Dom, Dexter etc. and its a lovely part of our weekend to see them and talk to them whilst enjoying our time there. Would 100% recommend this wagamamas, thank you all again for everything you do for us 😊

Went to Leeds White rose for some baby shopping and really fancied a wagas. It was late afternoon so no problem getting a table. Our waiter Dexter was absolutely amazing! He knows the menu like the back of his hand and we decided to try some of his recommendations, I'm usually a stick to what I know kind of person but I'm glad I followed his advice because the food was sooooo good. Dexter was ace, funny and entertaining and spent time including our little boy and making him laugh. Thank you for a great lunch :)

Its one of my wifes favourite food chain places before you go in sit down and order you know its going to be a nice meal no matter which 1 you visit

Healthy, delicious food as always

Delicious food and our server, Ellie, was wonderful, couldn’t help enough, thank you very much ❤️

Incredible service by Olga, very attentive. Food came out really quickly (and we went on a saturday peak time) and soo much flavour to it. Will defiantly be coming again 😊

Never had a bad meal here and the chilli margarita cocktails are amazing. Thoroughly recommended!

one of the shopping centers that I like the most. It has everything and the children's park outside is great for spending some time outdoors.

What a fabulous place to dine . If you have never been, you need to give it a go. You won't be disappointed

Me and my wife called for lunch , I had a katsu curry . It looked nice lots of plain rice which was just rice , sauce was on , chicken ok , but of salad at side . My wife had a bowl of duck curry with rice . The dish was three quarters rice again with duck which we couldn’t even find . The meal was below average. Not very warm . Got 2 small cokes . The meal was nearly £50 . Not worth half this . Don’t know how they can charge this

Friendly and attentive staff. Great menu catering for all dietary needs. Small complaint is that I received my meal quite a while before my daughter so I had nearly finished before she got hers. Would have preferred them at the same time. Clean environment. Delicious food and the ability to pay online so quick and easy.

My server was nice enough, the atmosphere was ok, but the food was some of the worst food I've ever eaten! Seriously 😳 and I'm pretty easy to please. The duck gyoza were a very strange texture, not quite sure what they're made of, and the miso soup was like water with a bit of tofu & seaweed in it. Shocking! Sorry guys, but it really was that bad.

Natalia was serving us last night and it’s probably the best service I’ve had anywhere I’ve been. The main I chose wasn’t great but I didn’t want to waste the food or create a fuss. I explained I was happy to continue but she insisted she wanted me to leave happy. The meal was replaced quickly. The service was great, friendly, personal and quick.

Nicely arranged plate, not too much. Taste was okay

Food was really good, amazing service from our waitress Maddie, really attentive and friendly. Good selection of vegan options too.

Food was great as always, we enjoy visiting Wagamama one of our favourite eating places.

Fantastic service everyone was so welcoming. Food amazing as always. Highly recommended 👌

Just loved the entire experience

Lazy staff wondering about in what looks like gym attire, I had to approach them to order and when the food was ready they just slide it onto the table like you’re one of there uni pals on a night out. Traditional Japanese my ring. Just poor !!

Gorgeous food and knowledgeable staff

Was served by a lovley young lady called Ellie, her manners and service was impeccable! She made my time here extra special! I shall be coming again and I hope to see her again! The food was outstanding!

I have never written a review before but felt this was deserved. My partner and I came to Wagamamas on Valentine’s Day for dinner where we was served by the lovely Ellie. She really made our evening! Big shout out to her. We will definitely be back!

Lovely food, great staff, love being able to watch the food being cooked. Place abit echoy so can be hard sometimes

the staff were very pleasant and we will return my mother in law, daughters and the wife were all very happy with there meals.

We were served by Dom 5 star service. Pleasant server. Lots of visible cobwebs above tables, strung from hanging lights. Walls were visibly dusty. Needs a deep clean on areas you don't necessarily see. Tables very clean, floors very clean. Just the attention to detail on the overall look

Great food not the cheapest but freshly cooked good staff

Absolutely looove the chicken ramen! To die for 🤤 although twice my order was a little mixed up, but I do not complain as the service and staff was absolutely lovely and sorted the issue quickly. Ohhh! And their tropical juice, loved it!.. If I could, I would be there every single day 🥰

Skanus maistas ir geras aptarnavimas

Consistent flavourful food reasonably priced

Great place to eat, White Rose is our place to go after trying Wagamama Trinity Shopping Centre, Leeds. Excellent staff, great food and a pleasant eating experience. Prompt service, and courteous staff made for a pleasant dining experience. Despite being busy the latter branch did not manage this. Highly recommended

Tell ya what never been a big fan of this oriental tackle but I was surprised how nice it was went for devil child bday (not mine) and we all loved it . It's a shame we couldn't leave her there but the food and service was 5 * no cap

BIG THX4 MADY AND4 ALL STAFF4 THAT...)))

All the staff were lovely. in. particular, OLGA was amazing. She advised us on the dishes when we had questions and all her suggestions were on point. I and my friend will be visiting again as we had a lovely time, amazing food and welcoming atmosphere.

Jared, Shane, Huj and Natalie - the dream team! Thank you so much for being our home from home. Wagamama is our favourite place to eat and always will be. They cater beautifully to my nut allergy and there's so many delicious vegan options. A place like no other and with the tastiest food imaginable!

Absolutely love the food so accommodating as well staff are very friendly and help with requests as well will be going back

Had a couple of gift cards. Had help from Jaz to set them up. He explained menu due to intolerance to spice food. Order starters and ramen dishes. Quick service friendly, customer service excellent. Delicious meals. Reasonably priced. Thank you Jaz and Laurence for looking after us. Will definitely be back in near future.

This was the 4th time I've been in this venue, and like every other time, the quality of food and staff / atmosphere was outstanding !! Will keep finding excuses to be in the area !!

Great food, could have easily had another, friendly staff and fast service

Love it new menu but some older favourites.

I've always loved Wagamama food, until a recent experience where there was meat in my veggie take-away meal (not just one piece, the entire meal). I contacted them with details and pictures, they requested my number but never called. Didn't so much as offer a refund on that item. If you have allergies I'd tread very carefully. Very disappointed after years of enjoying Wagamama. I won't trust them again.

All round just had a bad time. The staff seem very condescending and the food in general seems to have dropped in quality, significantly in the past year or so, and unfortunately so has the service. I don't like what wagamama seems to be becoming. I say this after visiting a few across the country over the past few years. On another note, after visiting trinity a couple times recently, I can strongly say, it is a much better place to eat out. The food even seems to taste better and have more care put into it, and the quality and speed of the service there, suprisingly seems to surpass that of white rose. Disappointing to say the least. :(

Stopped for lunch today, and really enjoyed it. Thanks to our server who was superb and went the extra mile. I have mobility issues which were accomadated without making me feel awkward. Thanks for a great experience👍

Standard chain fair, at a fair price

Food is meh, the flavour is not what you will expect, too much ginger in everything.

Four of us went, one of our group has a dairy intolerance, they were very careful with the ordering, they went through the best options for them, we had a great time, the food was very tasty, I tried one of the new 'hotpots', I found it very filling plus extremely tasty, and will definitely have it again

Awesome as always, we often come here for a nice treat and it never disappoints. Special shout out to Laurie, exceptional service and a hell of a brand ambassador for Wagamama.

Lovely service from all staff. Our server Shane was lovely and amazing, attending to all our needs. Extremely polite and welcoming.

Food lovely, staff lovely. No long waits

I'm a wagas lover and have frequented a fair few locations - this was cream of the crop for me. Jaz was a wonderful host and food was delish as always. Tried some of the new menu, not as good as my regular favourites but definitely give it a go if something tickles your fancy.

very nice fresh food only downside over priced drinks

We are regular visitors and we visit often. Food is always consistently good but sometimes you have to wait quite a while for someone to take your order. Once ordered, there are no issues.

Stunning food freshly made..perfect..great cheerfully staff..defo return visit

Awesome food brilliant service and very nice relaxing atmosphere thankyou definitely recommend to all

firecracker curry was fantastic

Good taste, but a little bit high price in general

The guy that served us had really great service! He was tall and had glasses

Clean restaurant, great atmosphere and the employees are wonderful too i d come back
