Wagamama in Camden

I hadn't been to a Wagamama for years and to be honest, my impression then was of a chain which had once been good but had gone downhill. I was very pleasantly surprised by my recent visit to Wagamama Hampstead. The menu had been thoroughly overhauled, the ingredients were fresh, portions generous, restaurant clean and spacious and service attentive and friendly. I will definitely go back. (I had the duck donburi, which was delicious.)

Wagamamas used to be great and the ideas still are but they are delivered without style or care here. The chilli squid was rubbery and the gyozas were still stuck together straight from the freezer. Even the chicken katsu was disappointing - chicken thin and not very succulent. So sad

Food not very good, specially my husband's yaki soba: all noodles and hardly any chicken or prawns. Expensive for quality provided.

A regular family lunch place for us at the weekend. Food is always good, high quality, price has gone up a lot. But why take away the chilli steak ramen? Apart from that, it's reliably good every time, food and service, nice place, rarely disappoints. Sirloin steak ramen is the best - normally cooked to perfection. Soft and not chewy.

We went here on New Year's Day and had fantastic food and excellent service from all the staff, particularly from the manager on duty. Highly recommended. It restored our faith in Wagamama (lost after a few not-so-great experiences in other branches).

Un esperienza unica, in esplosione di sapori colori e profumi, in qualcosa che non si può dimenticare. personale impeccabile e molto simpatico. Consigliato

We came in to eat tonight, food was good and so was the service. Thanks we will definantly be returning!

Absolutely amazing food! Main courses and sides delicious, big portions.. Great atmosphere in the restaurant, polite and helpful staff. I definitely go back there soon. Thank you!

This has got to be the worst Wagamama branch. I was shocked. Not busy. Huge branch. Spacious. Having said this and I noted another customer nearby saying the same, not the cleanest. Staff seemed to be living on another planet, despite there being so many. My teriyaki chicken donburi took ages but I expected something nice. Instead it was cold. I am honestly thinking they forgot about it. People who ordered after me were served quicker. I was too hungry to send it back. It was nice if it had been cooked properly! Needed more flavour too. The fresh orange juice was good. The dessert was awful. I should have gone to get an ice cream nearby at another place! I ordered the banana katsu which came out quicker than my main course but it was also cold and felt like a child had made it at home. Really not a restaurant standard dessert. Badly presented and like it was just thrown together. Wagamama for me are generally always good and a safe option. This branch was a big let down and I won't be going back. Surprisingly, the only thing that came out quick was the bill!

We ordered for takeaway and we weren't disappointed. The food is fresh cooked and very tasty, no delayed with the orders. We really prefer you guys!

I go here regularly with my family and wagamama never disappoints. Great asian food made with european taste buds in mind. Juices also are delicious

Went for dinner last night. Food was quick, fresh, and tasty! The staff were friendly and ensured our evening was COVID secure.

As a local been here several times, the service has always been very indifferent, so much so that we go further to the rather non atmospheric branch in Swiss Cottage where you are at least acknowledged as a customer. Seem very popular with local teenagers who are presumably happy with slow service.

I absolutely love their chicken katsu curry! It is super tasty and so addictive! Their staff are amazing and really sweet! 10/10 will return soon!

The food was quick and hot when it arrived, lovely service and great tasting meals! Will return! It was a great overall experience

Food was great, dealt very well with food allergies. Service from magda was excellent, very attentive and quick service.

I went to Wagamama Hampstead this afternoon as it is convenient to where I work. I am always greeted by the most polite and considerate staff. Today was no exception Daniel was the first to serve me and attempted to remember my previous order which means a lot to me (when I’m on a meal break and short of time). Next was Magda who I had seen before she was initially preparing a nearby table for future customers and stopped to acknowledge me she is always smiling which in turn makes me smile. This is why I’m a returning customer and will continue to return.

Excellent Ramen, though broth depth mildly lacking; needed more soy or salt. Service was great. Would go back though prefer Dim T down the road for much higher quality

Service was fast and efficient. Staff were friendly. Relatively quiet but got busier on a Wednesday evening. Huge restaurant. Cosy. Nice atmosphere filled with families and friends catching up. Wagamama is one of those places where you know what you will get. I love the fact that they provide calorie information as well and have an excellent vegan menu. They have the usual dishes of ramen, donburi and salads to name a few but then also bring in new dishes which is nice. A girl commented on a table next to us how it's difficult to decide what to choose and I agree! Big variety. I eventually settled on a new addition rather than going for one of my usual dishes which was the chicken nikko curry with white rice. The soup like curry was delicious. I was worried it might be spicy but the coconut curry with vegetables and lemongrass was perfect and portion size was big. There is a vegetarian version of the curry as well. You can also choose white rice, brown rice or noodles to have with it. Food normally comes quickly at Wagamama but this took a bit longer. I did not mind waiting as it was nice to relax and worth the wait. Freshly made and piping hot. Delicious. The appletiser I had to drink was nice and refreshing with it. One of the few places to offer appletiser. I had the white chocolate and matcha cheesecake for dessert and one shot black americano. Having visited Wagamama for years, their food is excellent but they can never deliver on desserts. This was OK but probably the last time I have a dessert here. I love their food and drinks but that's it. Reasonably priced. My main negative, looking around at a number of tables was that they received their dishes at different times. They need to try and bring all dishes at the same time. There was a family nearby and most of them had eaten and nearly finished whilst their one son was still waiting for his food.

Fastest service I have ever seen in a non-fast food restaurant. I liked the modern asian decor and food was as good as wagamama always is.

Fuimos a una cena familiar de Navidad después del sábado 28 de diciembre. Una de las razones para elegir este restaurante en particular fue el hecho de que tenía opciones sin gluten. Éramos 6 en total y uno de los miembros del personal vino a tomar el pedido de Gluten Free de mi hija antes de que alguien tomara el nuestro. Pensé que esto era impresionante y mostró cuidado y atención personal. Desafortunadamente, este fue el último evento impresionante de la noche.El camarero que tomó la orden obviamente no informó al otro personal y a mi hija le sirvieron un plato regular en lugar de Gluten Free. Esto fue finalmente reconocido por el personal y se ofreció un artículo adicional sin costo. Pensé que esto era una compensación bastante pobre. Ninguna disculpa ofrecida. Más tarde nos quejamos de cómo se manejó esto. Se solicitó al gerente pero él / ella decidió no aparecer.Además de esto, la comida era muy normal y algunos artículos no comestibles.El destacado "pobre" fue el Gyoza, absolutamente horrible.Todo el personal parecía que necesitaban un día libre y nos fuimos bastante decepcionados por toda la noche.No es barato para lo que se ofrece.Hemos estado en otros restaurantes de Wagamama, especialmente en Richmond, y hacen un trabajo mucho mejor que Hampstead.

¡Comida increíble! ! Y un servicio maravilloso, agua brillante y té verde + déjanos entrar más tarde de lo normal ¡Ve allí! !

Me encanta esto y fue un buen momento para comer. Tenían un gran servicio y me encanta allí!

Mi novia y yo visitamos ayer para pedir y recoger una comida para llevar. El personal es muy servicial. Cuando pagamos, utilizamos una tarjeta de regalo que no fue aceptada de inmediato, sin embargo, esto no fue un problema ya que el gerente en ese momento era muy servicial y nos ayudó a usarla para nuestra comida.No entendí su nombre pero ella fue fantástica y muy útil.PD la comida también era increíble.Gracias de nuevo

The place had plenty of children, probably on their way home from school and out for their tea or early supper. Service was friendly and alright, apart from one rather delayed dish. The food was good

Cada vez que vengo a Hampstead, paso por este lugar y quiero entrar. Esta vez el momento era perfecto, así que el almuerzo estaba en orden. Brillante. ¿Por qué he esperado tanto tiempo para probar esta cadena?

We ate here following a long walk across the Heath and around Hampstead Village. The service was good and friendly . The food was as expected and we ate all.

If you have any sort of food allergy the manager comes over to check what you can order. The food is fresh and hot and the service is friendly and helpful.

On a fairly empty New Year's Eve, Sunday afternoon, the food still tasted fresh as ever and staff were attentive and helpful.

Yo soy un gran fan de Wagamama. He estado utilizando estos restaurantes para comidas familiares y trabajo durante 25 años y comer en la cadena 15 - 20 veces al año.

If you've eaten there, you know. Adequate noodle bowls. I think it used to be better, but that's just me

Had some really great food here, also the waitress was new but did a wonderful job, great saki and teryaki lamb and fried squid will go again

Si no te quieres equivocar, si estas en dudas, son de esas cadenas de resto que tienen comida muy standar, tranquilos no se impresionaran, los precios, normales.

He pedido varias veces a través de ellos Deliveroo. . Y casi cada vez que ha habido problemas de falta de falta de ingredientes de palillos pero como soy un fan de la marca y hemos disfrutado de su comida en otras ramas que. Pero esta noche mi orden y mi pareja terminó en bolsa es del conductor porque el personal de Wagamama Hampstead decidió no es importante poner cualquier envoltura adicional en un bowl de ramen y sólo parcialmente envuelto en mi pedido de socios. Esto no me lo literalmente - que puedes ganar, chicos, nunca más voy a ordenar desde su lugar.

Always a consistent experience! The food is always done well. Kitchen do a great job on trying to get everything out super quickly!

Este nombre ha sido conocida por tener sus propios clientes leales que vienen aquí después de comer aquí. Esta rama da la mejor comida japonesa en esta zona, en gran verduras/menú no vegetarianos. La excelente ubicación ofrece una experiencia fantástica de venir aquí para una comida memorable, después wLking en el pintoresco Hampstead Heath. El sushi, shashimi están fuera de este mundo para aquellos que tienen un amor por la comida de mar fresca o el arroz al vapor caliente con verduras frescas, sana y

Found myself in this upmarket part of London. Wanted lunch and decided on this trusted branded restaurant. Food the normal high quality and staff all very friendly.

They have done a decent job despite the awkward location. Also the decor is a little different from the usual benches. The food is good as usual. As a decent service. Nice to have a Wagamama up in Hampstead. Have fun finding it.

We had dinner here last night. Food had a strange taste.. definitely not freshly made. I don't recommend this restaurant, food is terrible and atmosphere is horrible. They had loud dance music playing at a Japanese restaurant !

The staff spend all the time packing orders for Deliveroo. Good luck trying to flag one down. It took us 20 minutes to successfully order and receive a glass of wine. There were times when we thought the restaurant had been completely abandoned, but then we spied a group of waiters down the other end of the room packing takeaways for a delivery company.

Came fairly late but enjoyed the meal though the chicken gyoza arrived cold so was sent back.Tried a variety of dishes ranging from beef bun, yasai ramen, chilli chicken ramen and warm chicken salad - all at least good to a seafood ramen that was bland and indifferent.Service was patchy - maybe slightly focussed on them going homeOverall, a generous Very Good

It's my fault, I should've known better that be lazy and take 1 stop from Belsize for dinner tonight ...I guess it's like going to Wetherspoons for a Steak.....Cold Gyoza ( really?) Fatty Rib pick and mix....the Chef ( Ping the microwave) managed to heat 2 of the 5...Oh and the Miso came at the same time.....The hot Sake went back twice to save Trading Standards getting involved....I feel like I've cheated on my regular restaurants, Bento Ramen in Camden and Goldfish in Hampstead, with a made up, high heel tottering, fake eye brow imitation. Mass produced, by Kids, for a Brake Brothers mass produced audience.I'll pay full price, but won't be back !

Classic Wagamama experience. Good food, interesting menu all freshly made and served in a functional but friendly way. It works

On a weekend evening in Hampstead it was almost imppssible to find a table for 6. Wagamama saved the night for us. The kids enjoyed their yaki soba and were very happy with the banana katsu for desert. Wagamama is an institution and for me rightly so. It's been 15 years now that their noodles do not disappoint me.

Visited this place for dinner one Saturday evening in November. Our waiter did not seem happy to be there and I don't recall him breaking a smile at any point, however I wont let that take away anything from the food. The menu has a good variety and is reasonably priced. The food itself was so quick to arrive at our table and the food was really nice! it was a lovely end to an evening. I would go back and I would recommend, however It is nothing majorly special here but definitely worth a visit if you like Japanese and Asian cuisine.

Usually on my break time I went there nd had my lunch I like there food nd services nd friendly staff

Nice place. Regular Wagamama stuff. Good location. Not overcrowded. Food is fresh and good. Service is nice.

Wagamama's is good for a quick and tasty bite to eat. The food is not authentic though, and can taste quite bland, as one would expect from a chain. Seating is quite uncomfortable.

The ambience in the evening tends to be lacking as too few diners seem to be attracted to eat here - so if feels a little empty.We chose a wide variety of small and a a few larger plates. All were alright or better though one was disappointing, but was replaced with a more successful alternative.The star of the evening was the very charming lead server, who along with competent colleagues raised the level above Average to a slightly generous Very Good

The food is fantastic. The quality is great and the prices are fantastic. Its quite a big restaurant but fortunately not at all crowded.

I normally really like Wagamama. This shop is no exception, one still has to admit that the shop is rather small, and often quite crowded...

日本から遊びに来た家族に和食をと、行列の出来る人気店という触れ込みでガイドブックに載ってるので行きました。今思えば、店名が日本人なら絶対つけないセンス。wagamama arigatoとか今なら絶対韓国人経営だって思って避けるけど、この時はまだ純粋で連れていって恥ずかしい思いをしました。焼き鳥と、エビチリを注文しました。日本の価格の3倍。出てきたものを見て仰天、大きな皿に小さな小さなエビが六匹。焼き鳥には鶏肉がなく野菜のみ。お店の、日本語を話せない店長を呼び聞いたところ、焼き鳥ソースがかかっているから焼き鳥だと、ありえない説明をされました。ガイドブックに紹介されている、人気店だからと信じてはいけないですね。あのガイドブックも信じられなくてなりました。あんなものが日本食として出されてるなんて日本に対するヘイトです。いまでも許せません。

Colleagues and I dine out regularly. We visited this place for lunch and must say "good find". Nice meal.

Nice food we visited restaurant last night food was ok but , we need new dishes manly we get we get bored of this menu But we still we wanna come back

I went there for a family dinner on a Friday night, and after a booking, there was no fuss getting a table. In fact, we got a table for eight with a three people family. The waiters were polite and considerate. The food came after an appropriate amount of time, and was very good. I recommend.

The service and the menu has gone down in quality in the past year. There is no ambiance neither flavour to the food. I don't recommend Wagamama in Hampstead.

We eat at this restaurant regularly, there is always space which is great because u can usually depend on it if its your second choice. The variety of food on offer is very good, the portions are usually quite large and good value for money. Most of the dishes are noodle based. I really enjoy eating here although I don't often eat desert they are very good. A good place to visit for either lunchtime of dinner.

Seems the new menu had been in place for just some 2 months or so.We missed some old favourites that have gone, but the new menu had plenty of interest in it. However, we were somewhat disappointed to learn how calorific some of hte new dishes are - and these amounts are not disclosed on the menu (hopefully law changes will force disclosure). So some of us amended our proposed orders accordingly.We tried chicken ramen, coconut sea broth and duck ramen all of which were very good. There was an agedoshu dashai as a starter - this was more like a soup and one is not sure how standard this is. We finished with some mini-cakes (all ginger) and the mochi ice cream - the desserts were excellent. Service was a little strange in that in rotation we were served by 3 different servers, and all this in a place that was far from busy.Overall, Very Good, but hoping for calorie disclosures on the menu soon - not least as this may lead to development of healthier dishes.

Previously, I thought that all Wagamama restaurants had the same taste and spirit. I was mistaken. After the first time I realised that mood varies according the team and their devotion.Since then I visit the specific restaurant on a weekly basis and I am extremely satisfied. Japanese food at its best.

The service personal is efficient and polite. The food is average, almost fast food like, but children seem to like it.

Bit disappointed in the food today. Did not feel the cooking was very good. The stir fried green vegetables were not cooked enough and not warm enough and the soup was very ordinary. Think they could up their game a bit.

I visited on 6th May to an empty wagamama. We like wagamama and have visited islington and others around. The food is usually top taste fresh etc... Here was not the case and very surprising being in our home town of Hampstead. I was given out of date steak with some ingredients missing!!! The meat tasted really old was cooked rare but that made it even more obvious that it was over a week old I have to my wife and she said AWFUL. I left the meat no one even asked why probably new as the place seemed dead WHY! The waitress never came over at anytime to ask how were things more busy chatting with colleagues. When I finally got her attention she bought over a raw ingredient as if to say cook it yourself and I will charge £14 for so greasy noodles. Which didn't taste much different if not worse than the local Chinese. We got 3 small prawns old piece of line £7 undercooked no sauce tasteless. After this experience we wrote in the manager replied do you want to chat??? About your experience I am somewhat perplexed as I had wrote clearly to them what is to chat about. Seems even an APOLOGY is not given. I do want to state this steak teriyaki dish is one of my favorite and I will return to the islington branch in the future as there the food is spot on shame it's not at my doorstep.

The menu has enough variations introduced to keep interest.Also, the quality in relation to value for money is still on the right side of the equation. Service this time was inattentive, especially given the sparse numbers still eating late on.We tried edamame, wagamama ramen, mandarin chicken salad, gyoza and a new dish, surendra chicken that was spicier than expected but tasty nonetheless. Desserts rounded off a pleasant meal.Overall, a slightly generous Very Good

If you're in a rush and want something to eat quickly that's not a burger, Wagamama is just the place, plenty of choice for vegetarians & carnivores alike. This is not a place for a romantic evening or a relaxing long lunch though it is usually bustling and friendly with strangers sharing benches.Like I said, for quick, healthy food with plenty of choice & reasonable prices this is just the job

It is a large chain that has changed owners several times, as it grows. The current owner want to to it.I really like the concept and the philosophy that was driving the concept when it was created by Alan Yau 20 years ago. It is much more commercial today, but still very good. I enjoy going there regularly.

Came here a Tuesday lunch time it was quite. Nice pleasant service . Food came out quick and was yummy. I had the chicken katsu curry and calamari. The smoothies are amazing.

Not so bad, non so good.a classic wagamama restaurant, really expensive if you're hungry, no so much if you eat two or three plates

Had not been to this branch for a while and on this occasion we did not arrive until after 9.00 pm when the place was fairly empty.Leaving aside the lack of ambience and focusing on the food, I was somewhat disappointed with my choices. For example, the duck gyoza was over-cooked to the point that the exterior that ought to be crispy was beyond that stage (and had become brittle) and the interior was dried out. My mandarin/sesame chicken salad was dull because the it looked and tasted tired, not least because the dressing lacked any zing (and a zingy dressing can always be served on the side to cater for variety in diner's preference)Whether my experience was disappointing because it was late in the evening (place due to close at 10.00 pm) I cannot say, and to be fair, friends in our group seemed to enjoy their dishes more than I did mine.Overall then, a rating of Average seems about right

If you like Wagamama, this is one of the nicest ones with or without kids because the staff are very friendly, the space is nice and it's in a nice spot on Heath Street in leafy, quiet Hampstead.

Espalhados em diversos lugares de londres , os restaurantes da rede wagamama tem um cardápio com comidas orientais de diversos tipos, meus favoritos? os bowls com arroz legumes e carne (teryake chicken) e os macarrões que variam em oções de arroz, soba, entre outras. Vale a pena

Brusque waitress, average to poor food, warm wine, high prices. When pointing out to the waitress the wine was warm she said "well I will give you some ice", not an apology in sight. Would I use again or recommend to friends; definitely not.

We ate here as the Thai we were heading for just across the road on Heath St was closed for some reason, and after walking from a pleasant visit to Kenwood House. We have visited this chain in London and other cities previously, and one thing we thought we could always rely on was its consistency. That illusion was shattered here unfortunately. We both ordered Pad Thai, mine veg, my partner chicken and prawn, along with green tea. We eat this dish regularly, weekly in fact, and it is a favourite. On entering the restaurant we were shocked to find it seemed to be an out-of-control and unmanaged venue for local families, and in fact we were asked to sit between two of these, which we politely declined.When the Pad Thai arrived it tasted and smelled nothing at all like the dish we've had countless times everywhere else, including branches of this chain. In fact it had no discernible aroma at all and tasted of noodles and vegetables that had been warmed up, and the chicken and prawns in my partners dish were substandard. When asked by the staff how our food was we told them, and they kindly offered to replace the partly eaten dishes with new ones. The manager even came over and asked if we would like an extra small bowl of sauce, which I declined and replied that we'd just like enough in the dish. Two new plates arrived, as bland, truly dreadful, and utterly tasteless as the first. We were told by the manager that we would not be charged for any of our food and left after just a few mouthfuls of the second failed attempt at pad thai. The staff we encountered were all fine, but the hectic location, and the truly dreadful nature of the food have really revised our opinion of this chain, specifically in relation to consistency and food quality.

Popped in after work for a quick bite before meeting a friend in town. I find this chain is a reliable place for a pit stop and nothing more. The Hampstead restaurant is very nice indeed but be warned you'll soon be surrounded by families with small children who take over this place with noise. I started with the summer rolls, beef. It came immediately, obviously straight from the fridge and it was severely overchilled, freezing almost. The beef was tough and grizzly. I then selected the Pad Thai, which was fresh and tasty but a small portion for the price and was made with very thin noddles, not proper wider Pad Thai noddles. So if you're used to dining in Hackney or other places with authentic Asian restaurants you'll know this is just a place to catch a bite of fresh food and you'll know you've been ripped off on portions and prices. Staff were very nice.

The food is OK by this chain's standards (which is pretty high to begin with), the wait staff were efficient but just a warning; can be loud during lunch hour with babies and young kids and excited teens.I've been twice during the lunch period and I finally asked a waiter if its always like to and he said 'yes'. Which means this place is a really good choice if you have a baby stroller or younger kids/teens. The floor was nice and flat and the table and chair arrangements allowed movement. If you're looking for something a bit quieter, I'd suggest asking for a table or bench nearer the back.

Wagama's great, because it is quick, cheap and tasty. Altough they seat you next to strangers and you might not get your food at the same time as your friends, it is a good place to have a quick funky lunch. I recomend trying it at least once and to go for The Chicken Katsu Curry which I think is a killer dish

Fantastic japanese restaurant and noodles bar! The noodle's dishes are very generous and tasty; the chicken katsu is the best chicken katsu I've ever eaten!! The italian waiter is the best, very professional, worth going in this wagamama just to meet him!

Well,, this place I do not like. This place serves ready made food that generally needs to be mixed with hot water to form the dry veg and chemical power flavour enhancers. It is very much like a glorified pot noodel. Good luck if you like this place.

This is a different kind of restaurant -- everyone at a long table. But the food is good -- noodles galore. It's inexpensive.

Usual menu but nice to have option of table and chairs rather than usual shared benches.A great addition to Hampstead eateries

Really good branch of this reliable chain. The service was friendly and welcoming. There are more 4/5 person tables than I have seen at other branches. The food was one of the best wagamama meals I have had over the past few years.

Good foodBut this is a canteen so the service is speedand the room is noise.however, I quite like this place

Delicious healthy Japanese food, my favorite. Locations all over London, even at Heathrow if you missed an opportunity to dine at one of their locations in The City. The seating is dormitory style, so you're seated at a long table and share your experience with strangers, not always a bad thing! The menu is straight-forward, with an excellent selection of ramen, teppan, rice dishes, other noodles, dessert, etc. The amount of food received is enormous, so be prepared to eat a lot, or share. I think this place started out as a ramen restaurant and because of the popularity of these noodles, just expanded all over. Sad to say no location here in Seattle yet, but one can hope. I highly recommend for fresh and healthy Japanese cuisine.

We consistently eat at Wagamama when we are in London. The service is always great, the food s fresh and cooked to order. Sometimes it is hard to find something my husband can eat since he is a vegetarian, and I get sick of pub food. This is a great alternative and they are conveniently located all over the city. Some of my favorites are the saien soba, and yaki soba. Great apps are chili squid and ebi goza. They also do food to go if you want to take it out to a bench to people watch.

This is a good restaurant, mainly ir you visit with your childs. Because is a special place with kids menu

Good food for a very resonable price. The place is not very charming, but if you are in a hurry and starving, it's a perfect choice.

We traveled with a vegan-vegetarian who, along with the rest of us, was able to find the perfect dish. So much to choose from in pasta or rice dishes

hungry after the London eye. stopped in here for a bite with the kids. there is really something for everyone. In a place where food tends to be bland and uninspired (London in general) this was a very nice surprise.try it you'll like it

We took our 5 kids here. Loud, busy, quick. The rice was a good standby for our smaller kids. The bowls were really good. The Service was quick.
