Wagamama Brindley Place in Birmingham

OK, I'm going to start with the staff. I have a peanut allergy, and the staff were visibly nervous handling my families food. They told me that an incident had recently occurred where something had gotten contaminated with peanuts and someone was ill as a result. However, despite their obvious nervousness, they were excellent. The girl who took over our order was lovely, and the poor lad who accidently put one of our bowls on another table was so worried. They were all brilliant and the food was as good as you expect. The battered mushrooms were just superb. We will happily use them again.

Very good and friendly staff. A lot of vegan options.

I LOVE THE BRUNCH. Açai bowl INCREDIBLE. Amazing and kind staff!

Brunch is lovely, great options and great service.

Went to the Wagamama's at Brindley place for lunch. Excellent service with a great ambience and great food.

Tried another Wagamama out this weekend. This time in Birmingham. Food was great and served quickly. The restaurant was quiet. The only complaint is that we ordered edamame with salt, and they came covered in fine table salt as opposed to flake sea salt. That was a first for me.

The staff, Steph and Barney were very personable, in assisting you with your preference of seating, helping customise/ add products through to the whole visit experience, salute to back of house and maintenance team too. I had a good visit after over 5 years. Good loyalty program too, though staff is the real backbone of this place. Thank you! All the best Ali

Friendly staff, great food, quick service, couldn't fault my visit.

I was served by Isabelle today! Food and service was a 10/10, will definitely be back again :)

I ate here with a couple of friends last weekend as we were planning to eat in the city but hadn’t booked anywhere. I’d only been to a Wagamama’s on 3 occasions prior to this visit so still haven’t explored the menu as much as I would like to, on this occasion I chose the Crispy shredded duck saku saku soba which was very good. I have found that the food is always pretty filling here but not cheap. I’ve mentioned this on a review for another Wagamamas which I have visited, and I know it’s their whole ethos but I really don’t like how your food comes out at different times - on this occasion I think I waited around 10 minutes for my food after my friends had received theirs, this basically means you’re sat there for some time just watching other people eat which is not a fun experience. I know that Wagamamas won’t change this but it’s just worth noting.

I order for take away, Jack thank you your recommendation! I love it!!!

For those who like Asian food, this is an excellent option! There are several restaurants in the city.

The food and service was excellent. Aid was really attentive she realised that my daughters dish was incorrect when it was delivered to the table. Brilliant we will be back.Thank you

Perfect location for a night out and right next to the arena too. Had a lovely meal here with my brother prior to Thirty Seconds to Mars at the arena. Our server Barney was super lovely and very helpful :)!

Upstairs Wagamama branch, nice and clean. Food is like any other Wagamamas. Staff are friendly, however was short change which was little down side otherwise would have been a 5 stars.

Amazing food and service we were attended by Barnie he was so nice 👍 i had a ramen it was amazing i would definitely eat here again.

Had a lovely meal, Barni was my server and was very attentive and friendly. Food was perfect and all the staff were welcoming.

Great food. Lovely atmosphere. A little wait to get in but it was a bank holiday Sunday evening. They should say they accept cash as well as card payments.

Came here for an early lunch at 11:15am today but door was locked and they weren't open.. A bit disappointing as the door said open from 11am. We went elsewhere!

The classic wagamama experience. Lovely food which is standard, with great service to match. I had the chicken coconut kare curry, which is a 'new' dish since my last visit and a side of bang bang cauliflower. My only really small complaint was that I wasn't a massive fan of the table/chair setup, but that's just personal preference. Overall the usual great Wagamama experience.

amazing food, barni made the atmosphere very warm & welcoming! would definitely recommend

Great food and service. Just a bit cramped and noisy.

Très bon, cuisine Coréenne, le prix est raisonnable et l’accueil chaleureux. Le quartier est aussi agréable le long du canal

Our first experience at Wagamama and we were not disappointed. Great service, tasty food and a buzzing ambience. We shared a couple of small plates and had a main each - all were delicious. There is such a choice on the menu, we shall just have to return!

Had a lovely meal and was very happy to be served by Thomas who made our experience very lovely.

Loved the food . They have recently added vegan and veggie options.

Came here for a lunchtime catchup with some friends from work. Bearing in mind it was Easter hols at 12pm, the venue was reasonably populated, but not full by any means. Despite there being quite a few staff milling about, there didn't seem to be anyone manning the front of house area (there is one here, otherwise we would have just sat down somewhere). We were seated after a brief delay. And then came the slightly longer delay of getting served. Which we did eventually - and from that point onwards - all was good. The menu piqued interest and the young lady serving us was attentive, friendly and helpful. Even showed us how to pay using the QR code on the table, which was a great idea. I opted for a chicken ramen with a side order of red chillies. My friends had a variety of battered shrimp and what I can only describe as "dumplings" and bao buns. The food was on point. An amazing culinary experience. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed the spicy miso mackerel, positive juice and banana katsu. Great service and suggestions from Barni, thank you.

First time trying Wagamama and definitely not the last. The service had been amazing and followed by lovely food. We was sat down by a lovely lady who had explained everything to us (we didn’t get her name but she was pregnant) and then our server was Kamile. Kamile was very attentive, our dishes were being cleared quickly and all the food was tasty. Will definitely come here again as the service had been lovely. Thank you guys!

Good food and decent staff. Rice was a bit stodgy.

Quite like Wagamama! The Brindley one seems to have a nicer atmosphere too. Food is usually consistent and good. Found the cocktails to be a bit light though.

The restaurant is siruated in a first floor over the canal and the views are increíbles. The restaurant entrance has a lift and also stairs. You are welcome at the entrance and sitting by a big table, very well presented. The service is really good and the food cames quickly. As It was a mothers day, they offered flowers to every mother. Very tasty food and good prices. Recommended!

If you can eat spicy foods, go to try the rice cake hot pot, and the gochujang rice bowl. the flavours are complicated nice.

Always enjoy our show trips to Brum especially when we got to this Wagamama restaurant. Lovely food, good atmosphere and good service. Gluten free menu available for Coeliacs.

Great food and service. Was really cold so much so I had to keep my coat on

food was oily throughout wasnt even busy when we went wanted to order the crispy mushrooms but didnt have this available so had to make do with Oyster Mushroom which was very very oily made me heeve. Waitress on evening was rude the man however was very polite wouldnt reccommend and will not be returning

Great meal. Barni was a great host and had excellent customer service skills. Very attentive. Thanks!

This is becoming our favourite place to eat when we visit Birmingham to go to the symphony hall or the Rep. Great menu choices . I have tried three main courses now and I particularly like the salmon with noodles. My daughter loves the curries . You need to be happy to sit on long tables and share with others when it is busy Lovely views through the large windows to the canal The waiters are happy to talk you through the menu and recommend the favourites.

This was my first visit, hotpot was okay but other 2 food was really good i enjoyed it. Just need little bit of improvement on drinks others wise everything was on top. Staff were friendly. We will be back again.

Absolutely delicious food, service was great, fast and thoroughly informative. I attended with a foodie with a seafood allergy and they was very helpful and had brilliant protocols in place to support.

Went to Wagamama’s for my son’s graduation ceremony. Vegetarian food was good and was thoroughly enjoyed.

The food was nice enough but not for me.

Great food, lovely cocktail and lovely waitress

Tasty food and efficient service

Welcoming staff and food is amazing, nothing to complain about in my opinion.

Wagas keeps changing its menus removing well loved dishes like the chili beef ramen and ebi gyoza. Hence the score. Nothing absent the restaurant itself.

Good standard of care and commitment on food and service

Need to keep in mind that it’s a Fusion food restaurant. I’m a bit regretful about the taste of Curry and ramen soup. Just not as authentic as I expected.

Everything was right on. Even asked for table change and they were cooperative. Loved the hot pot I ordered 😋 One of the best!

Great location at bullring shopping centre. Staff very attentive , even though was busy. Food is always consistently good ! Recommended cauliflower bang bang as side option Never disappoints! Will definitely be back

Typical Wagamama - great food and service. Long wait on a Saturday night as you would expect. We were told we could only have the table for an hour as they were expecting a party of 26. Not a problem for us, but I didn't think you could book tables in advance in Wagamama?

Food seems to arrive at different times .

Great service and friendly staff.

Lovely like always, wagamamas quality is great at every store

The noise was so bad we could hardly hear the waiter talking to us. When I asked him to repeat, in a very polite way, he followed with an eye rolled and with an awful attitude to tell me how the food was served. Food was good but it was like being back to my school dinner hall. And £5 for a sparkling bottle of water is unacceptable.

Extremely disappointing. Ordered Chicken & prawn Cha Han. What arrived tasted like burnt plastic!! They were so measly with the ingredients - as much chicken as would fit into a level table spoon, and about 5 prawns; a couple of endamame beans, a pair of crudely cut mushrooms, maybe 10 pieces of sweetcorn. The rest, a couple of lumps of red bell pepper, and then just sticky rice with some pink stuff. Their own recipe calls for more chicken. And they sting £13 for this?!?!? Service was poor too - 4 chefs, and 4 sefving staff in a place with maybe 20 customers. Took an age to get served, and then a long wait for the food. Shocking. Won't be going back - what an absolute rip-off.

Very friendly, explain about the food, very tasty food,

Went here today for lunch with my daughter. Great food. Great selection of food and drink. Great service. Good atmosphere. Love it.

Went there for a date night - wonderful service, delicious food, great experience all round. Prices are reasonable for the food served. Dishes took a while to arrive, but not unreasonable waiting times. We ordered the beef ramen, the pad Thai and the steamed buns as a side, along with cherry blossom lemonade and green teas. All was delicious and would happily eat here again. Portion sizes were very generous - not ridiculous, but you definitely won't be leaving hungry! Toilet facilities were clean and nice.

Standard Waga. Service was good and food as to be expected at this chain.

Food was great, same with service

Served rotten prawns and the whole situation was handled very poorly!!! The prawn stank from a mile away and there’s no way the chef ARON wouldn’t have smelt that while cooking which means it was severed KNOWINGLY… Thomas the manager also didn’t handle it well at all… I will NEVER come here again!!

Food was nice and staff were friendly. I did have to wait a few minutes for for my food even though my partner had gotten hers.

My kid got a spoiled corn on her plate. The waiter acted as if it was normal, happens regularly I suppose. Frustrated!

Very nice area, staff are friendly and nice fuel stop.

This was my first visit to a Wagamama and it didn’t disappoint. It was super busy when we arrived but didn’t have to wait long for a table we was a party of 5 Staff super friendly and helpful Food is absolutely lovely I understand the hype for this tasty food Had the best time plenty to choose from

Most enjoyable meal and smoothie drink. Love Wagamamas food & service great, thankyou.

Our server Grace was super sweet and very helpful.

A great restaurant with ample space and seating. Accessible with a lift if you struggle to use stairs or are coming with younger children. The staff were attentive, friendly, polite and efficient. The food was prepared and dished up in really good time and the cost is reflective of, if not better than what you get. The area is maintained with a good level of cleanliness and the staff were prompt in cleaning down after customers had finished. You can pay via QR code on the table making for a fast departure or you can pay the traditional way with the staff. The atmosphere at this time (Sunday afternoon) was middling, some noise from younger children, but that's to be expected, everyone seemed happy and well catered for. You can take home left overs in take out boxes as the portions are very reasonable I opted for this. Generally Wagamamas is busy and can be a little overwhelming, especially for those with sensory sensitivity, however Sundays visit was pleasant and low level stimulation. I would recommend this specific restaurant location for those who enjoy being around a vibrant and comfortable atmosphere both inside and out. Brindley place is a lovely area that is situated in and around the canal basin and there's lots to do in the immediate area. In warm weather external areas are delightful to wander around and it's all very visually pleasing.

Me and my friends went for dinner to Wagamama. We were served by Barnabas who helped us choose each dish and according to our preferences also chose the spiciness. the food was delicious 5 stars for the service and 5 stars for the food. we will definitely come back here

The Wagamama is located at the floor above pitcher and piano. There is both stairs and lift access. Typical Wagamama seating with ample space for small and large groups. The service is quick and engaging. The food was served hot and very sumptuous. Good array of drinks and eating options for vegans and vegetarians. We ordered a few mocktails, a beer, a prawn curry dish, chicken katsu curry and a chocolate dessert. Would love to go back again. Look at parking options around Brindley place and broad street.

My first time been on this branch,Nice and clean I think better than other branch’s in Birmingham town centre.

Great service and Tom was great too.

Great tasty food. Service was great. We had a late lunch/early dinner so it was not busy.

Food wasn’t good, I had noodles and it was way too salty. My friend who had a chicken katsu got sick the following night. The staff was nice tho and the peach iced tea delicious!

Great food and very friendly staff. One of my favourites

Had a cracking meal here last night. Service was friendly and excellent, despite being really busy. Particular thanks to Tom, who served us most cheerfully.

Top notch service and food as always.

Lovely staff let us in just near closing time and never rushed us. Great customer service and the fresh juices are 10/10

Quick service. Food was really hot and made well.

Great lunch on a rainy day. Not long to wait for seating. Great service and delicious food. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu.

If you like Wagamama this is a really nice one. Lovely staff, food was on point, service was quick. Full marks.

Giozas secas como la mojama. Los niddles tienen un pase aunque las gambas estan quemadas. No vuelvo...

The place was nice and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming , the service was very good as staff was friendly and approachable. The food was very nice , maybe the portion has been slightly cut down due to inflation but overall still decent . Had to wait a bit due to All England's week but only waited 5 - 10 minutes which was faster than expected . In conclusion , I would come back just maybe if I don't find an amazing asian cuisine restaurant

That was great experience. Ps: Raf was very friendly and helped a lot🥳🥳🥳🥳

Great food and really friendly staff member Jess has made our experience here very enjoyable. Will definitely come back for more :)

Great food in a great setting. Nice views of the canal!

Popped in for a quick lunch. Food was excellent, very quick service. Jess provided excellent service during our visit, thank you Jess!

Amazing food, great and quick service. Shoutout to our waiters Raf and Joe, very good service from them.

The portions are getting smaller and smaller

Absolutely loved ut first time going will go back again

One of the worst wagamama I have been to the manager tucked my order by sitting next to us and the food was burnt and tasteless. Poor service wearing shorts, bad attitude when told the food was burt

Frequently come here due to the fast and excellent service. The food options are great for those with dietary restrictions (Veggie, Vegan, Gluten Free etc). Jessica is a great server who always provides a friendly service and good advice in relation to food choices and allergies.

Our experience was wonderful, we were served by Jess who was so lovely and helpful and the food was great as always

Food was so tasty and the service was awesome as always. I Love wagamama!!

Great location and great views of the canal from the restaurant. Was served by Argers who was very polite, helpful, attentive and engaging. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed this visit and the food so good that we ordered more items as we went along. At the end, we ordered one Smoked Chocolate Cake, it was that good, that we ordered two more! Definitely will be coming back here again.

Food was amazing the staff were very friendly.

We were both astonished as we walked into our favourite music playing. When we entered, we were greeted by the lovely Sarah who then full knowledge of how to work the new system and gave us some great ideas of what to get. Highly recommend coming here the food was amazing! We had the steak and salmon noodles and I couldn’t fault it! The duck gyozas aswell were to DIE for, including the sauce they came with! But big up Sarah she was fantastic:)

A litte disappointed of the new donburi. It wasn't like I spected.

Ended up here because everything else was booked out (Lewis Capaldi was at the NIA so Brindleyplace was packed!). Staff were friendly and good at managing the tables so we didn't wait long in the queue. Well done to all the waiting staff, despite how busy the place was you made it look effortless.
