I want to give these guys 6 stars, the customer service is excellent. I went there on a busy Wednesday evening and ordered a main dish and a side i had not tried before The side was bought over and it did not look as i expected, so when the waitress next walked past i questioned if it was the correct dish She checked and informed me they had delivered the wrong one, my correct dish was ready a minute later and i was given the other dish for no charge along with an apology for the mistake

I live in Australia and on every visit back to the uk to see my family, we always come to the Dorchester branch of Wagamamas as my Dad is vegetarian and we usually have a great experience. Unfortunately last Thursday, the first meal I’ve had in the uk since I’ve been back, I was disappointed with the service. There was a wait outside which was fine and we didn’t mind. We were seated and told we would be served by Sophie. After 20 minutes of waiting at the table I noticed she had served the people who came in after us. Which is fine again, people make mistakes / not sure if this communicated to her. So we ordered, food came extremely promptly and was delicious. After we decided to order desserts and two of them were brought to us but my sorbet was left on the side. Sophie and another waitress were folding cutlery and chatting so I just asked them if that was my sorbet (melting under the heat light). She then brought it over but I was upset to hear from my brother that she rolled her eyes at me for asking her. Was pretty disappointing but glad the food made up for her lack of service to customers.

It was so busy tonight but we were swiftly found a table and our server Emma Locke was friendly, efficient and made sure we served promptly. She knew the menu well and offered some suggestions. She checked that we were happy and had everything we needed. Thank you Emma we will definitely be back. First Class Service.

When we requested tap water the waiter said that they dont do jugs (there was 6 of us) so she would bring us a bottle. At the end of our meal, they then charged bottled water to our bill and when we brought it up with staff, our waiter (kelsie) refused to admit to the manager that we said tap water and made us pay the £10. Her incompetence as a server when licensed places(wagamama) are legally obliged to supply free water is insane to me. she's lying to customers to scam them out of money and lacks the back bone when confronted about it. ask for a different server.

Wagamama Dorchester is a culinary delight, perfectly blending exquisite flavors and exceptional service. The diverse menu offers Japanese and Asian-inspired dishes, catering to all, including vegetarians, vegans, and those with gluten intolerance. Each visit is a memorable experience thanks to the attentive staff and a relaxed, clean atmosphere. From accommodating dietary needs to the chef's personal touches, like offering signature salad dressings, the attention to detail is impressive. Wagamama Dorchester isn't just a meal; it's an experience that leaves you looking forward to your next visit. A true culinary gem in Dorchester, deserving of five stars!

The young waiting staff were attentive... However the 2 senior staff were less so. The GM was doing as little as possible. When a fish bone was nearly choked on by my partner, the AGM said it was from a fish which was outsourced... No suggestion of a refund. I said I wasn't taking that as a reason, and she finally adjusted the bill. Then the GM, when we left, was extremely chatty to my partner's mum... If she wants to chat so much to people she may be better suited to a telephony job... Unfortunately the ratings reflect the senior staff...

Rohan - the Manager - was delightful. Polite, patient and extremely helpful. We had never visited Wagamamas before so were not entirely sure how the ordering process worked and indeed what some of the dishes were. He took time to explain and was very patient with my indecisiveness. He made my ‘21st’ (hahaha - if only) birthday a very special experience. Highly recommend this establishment. My husband, myself and our young son (7) were made to feel at ease, unrushed and truly special. Thank you Rohan - we had a blast and will be back very soon.

Wagamama is a family favourite and our recent visit didn't disappoint. It was a busy afternoon with a little wait outside but we were seated within a short while.

Food was pretty good but I’ve had better from Wagamama. There doesn’t seem to be a consistency in the quality. Service was ok but there is a feeling of once you’ve ordered, you’re left alone. This is fine for the most part but no one checked to see if we needed anything (which we did- missing part of our order!). Atmosphere is good but can get quite loud- not a negative, just an observation.

We visited on a Thursday evening and it was heaving! We waited about half an hour for a table. Once seated, service was incredibly slow. We were sitting near to the bar and could see our drinks orders waiting for us for about 10 minutes before we could get our waiters attention to bring them over. He seemed nice enough, just very stretched. My partner had to go off to find a fork for one of the kids as there was no one around to ask. Food wise, it was the best vegan pad Thai I've ever had. Just much better than the usual Wagamama dish.

Table for 9. Lovely front of house staff but meals were served over a span of half and hour from first to last and the childrens tofu rice and the veggie gyoza & noodles were disgusting and inedible. Totally let down by the kitchen. Serving food as and when is fine but a ten minute window ish would be reasonable not half of you finished before some are served. Also, the two inedible meals were shameful. Such simple food so ruined It used to be great here but the last few times it’s been poor to awful. Won’t come again The two stars are for the lovely front of house staff nothing else deserved anything.

Popular spot. When we visited last the food was delicious, it was just such a shame that the service was so poor; food orders forgotten, needing to chase drinks orders after asking two or three times, and staff dashing about with very little coordination all detracted from the experience and it wasn't even that busy in the restaurant - can't help but feel that too much priority is given to delivery and takeaway business to the detriment of those who choose to dine in ...

Wagamsma is a unique dining experience. The food is really tasty and good quality. The oddity to us Brits is that when you order, you might not get your food at the same time unless you all order the same. It doesn't detract from the Wagamama experience, though. Only criticism from me - portion sizes. I never leave feeling full up

Exceptional service from Top head chef Joey. Couldn't praise Joey enough for going above and beyond from start to finish. After my Pad Thai wasn't to my liking Joey didn't hesitate to replace my dish with one freshly prepared himself. 2 weeks later we visited again and had a warm welcome from Joey himself. Our meal was superb and full of flavour yet again and nothing was to much trouble. Our 3rd visit was during our hospital visit to deliver our baby girl. We phone our ordered through to wagamamas and spoke to Joey who prepared us a takeaway to have whilst waiting in the hospital. My husband went to collect our order as unfortunatly Joey wanted to deliver it personally but was unable to due to being extremely busy which we weren't surprised. On arrival my husband recieved the warmest of welcomes and Congratulations from Joey with our order aswell as a feast for the midwives on duty as a thankyou from himself personally. We would just like to say a big thankyou to Joey and his team and keep up the hard work!

I've rarely made the effort to come to Wagamamas (only twice since they opened in Dorchester) and not sure why as I actually really enjoy it. The food is as tasty as the chopsticks are tedious (I'll work it out one day). The staff are clearly going for the casual relaxed approach which I'm normally a fan of but 2 of the lads seemed to rock the 'I just want my shift to end' attitude which spoilt it a little. Other than that though, loved it and will make more of an effort to come back more often.

Craving for Japanese food in the middle of the night? Wagamama in Dorchester is worthy of a ride. You’ll surely experience the Asian tongue in the west side.
