Wagamama - Kingston upon Thames in Kingston upon Thames - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Some of the kindest staff I've ever met. They were extrimely patient and helpful. The food was deliverd so fast that it felt like it was made just for me.

We just visited and upon arrival there was an empty table at the window that we wanted to sit at but it was not clean. The waitress who greeted us said that it wasnt clean and wanted go seat us somewhere else. That is when her colleague Izzy stepped in, cleaned the table in 2 seconds and we managed to enjoy our meal by the window. The food was great and Izzy made the evening greater by being so accommodating and it is very clear that she understands hospitality and knows how to win customers. We downloaded the loyalty app and will definitely now be comming regularly! :)

Othniel was an excellect waiter. New menu is good. Atmosphere is good but doesn't wow, which is why I gave it 3/5. Highly recommended for food and service.

Beautiful food, a bit pricey but well worth it

Unfortunately all food come overcooked, even when asked to cook again still come dry ...

Very inconsistent food compared to other branches. Very disappointing

Tried ordering from here on Deliveroo, after an hour and a half still no food. Contacted Deliveroo to cancel order and we were told the manager had refused to cancel despite such a long delay. It was eventually cancelled. But don’t bother ordering from here, it is ALWAYS late and delayed.

The place was quite busy the day we went there. But the food was delicious and service was okay as well given the crowd.

We had a lovely date there. The chilli squid was amazing (10/10), I had suka suka with shredded duck (7/10)

Stopped in for a bite to eat with the family at a busy time so had to wait for 10 minutes… that’s no problem. The service after that was pretty terrible. We got seated but were left without menus for 10 minutes… then we had to flag someone down to order drinks… then again to place the food order… the chap that came to take the order was great though. Just a shame it took so much effort to get the attention of any of the servers. The food was really hit and miss, it looks great but the flavour really isn’t there and the prices have increased whilst the taste has declined. Used to be a favourite but we will look for something else next time.

Thank you to Jasmine for her amazing service! 😁

An impromptu visit for a family dinner after going to the Rose Theatre. First of all I have to say all of the staff were great, very friendly and attentive. Considering there were 7 of us, all of the food & drinks came out in a timely manner. The food itself was very good overall and the chilli squid, Ebi Katsu , Chicken Katsu curry still firm favourites after all these years. Thanks to all the team, you can see how hard they all work. I’d definitely return to this location, a really enjoyable experience.

Fantastic service - waitress couldn't do more to help especially with our sons request

I love Wagamama but I won't be returning to this branch. My rating is for this branch ONLY as I've eaten at Wagamama many times, in various locations. The tofu raisukaree was very, very bland, it had no fragrance, and certainly not what I've been used to at other Wagamamas, I could hardly taste the coconut and the chilli had zero flavour/spice, the rice was also hard. It was very disappointing. To top it off, while we (2ppl) were still enjoying our conversation, one of us still eating, the waiter came over and interrupted to collect my empty plate. A few mins later, he returned, my sister-in-law still had some food on her plate but had paused for a moment as we were talking, and he asked if she had finished. She hadn't but felt under pressure to give him her plate. I asked if they were short on plates why he was in such a haste to collect them, he said no, that the manager doesn't like to see empty plates on the tables, I said that this plate wasn't empty, although yes, she was almost finished, he apologies and offered to give it back but she just said no. It completely spoilt our time there, and we didn't bother to order more drinks or dessert, which we had planned on doing. Behind us was another table with a family of 4 (inc a child) and he approached them, while they were still enjoying their meal and asked to collect an empty plate, there was another smaller plate, too, that he also reached for and the lady had told him no, that she was still using it to separate the food for the child. We observed this happening continuously at other tables. Very weird. It's not right that you would interrupt people's meals to collect plates. We had only been there 40mins from arriving, ordering, eating. The waiter was friendly and attentive despite this (no issue there) but whatever the reason for being in a rush to collect plates, it had interfered with our experience and enjoyment so much so that we left after paying. We would not eat at this branch again, very bland food, and the interruption and pressure to collect plates spoilt our mood. They could learn something from our local branch near Battersea Power Station. Their raisukaree is exceptional, and they certainly don't rush to clear your plates when you're enjoying your conversation and others in your group are still eating!

I visited the Wagamama Kingston branch on 24th May 2024 with a friend, and the experience was disappointing. I ordered the Chicken Katsu, and my friend ordered noodles. My friend received her dish first, and I had to wait an additional 30 minutes for mine. When my Chicken Katsu finally arrived, it was undercooked, which is extremely concerning. Undercooked chicken can cause serious health issues, and I felt very sick from the taste of the first bite. I asked for a replacement dish without chicken because I was worried about food poisoning. A waiter, who I believe was of Middle Eastern descent (I can tell because I am also from the Middle East), approached not in a nice manner. He claimed that the chicken was cooked using timers, implying indirectly that my complaint was unfounded? His dismissive attitude was unprofessional and unhelpful. I was eventually served prawn noodles, but the quality was very poor. Even the Mushroom Bao I ordered as a starter was also undercooked. After returning home, I spent the rest of the night feeling extremely ill and vomiting. This will be the last time I visit the Kingston branch. I love Wagamama and usually have great experiences, but I recommend going to the Wimbledon location instead. Update: To the manager of Wagamama Kingston Branch, I reported this incident to Kingston Council for suspected poisoning. The most concerning about all this, is your part of your staff being dismissive about the incident that happened.

Decent food, was given fast. Service can be a. It better.

Service was great, food was good and drinks was good, table service was rapid.

Chicken and prawn yakisoba was good you know.

Food was great, very tasty. Service was friendly, had to remind about a 2nd drink order, but they were busy so no stresses. Only wait was for them to clean a table when we arrived and because we can pay via qr code, we didn't have to wait to pay. Non alcoholic cocktails were really refreshing and great accompaniment to the spicey food

Another great lunch at Wagamama, our first time at the Kingston Upon Thames Restaurant. Food and service as always was great even though the restaurant was very busy. We were lucky to get a table so quick as it was half term and full of families.

Went out for dinner with a friend on a Tuesday night. Was looking forward to it until I noticed the amount of flies in the restaurant, not a good sign. We were shown to our table. I opened the menu and immediately saw it was covered in food, which really put me off wanting to eat here. So we didn't order food, just drinks, then when our drinks arrived I was given a dirty glass which had food residue in it!... this place is filthy! How it has a hygiene rating of 5 is beyond me!!!

Just don't like the food, although the service was quick and decent

Great place for a party, food was excellent (as always) and the atmosphere was welcoming.

I had a nice dinner here with family. I enjoyed the ramen with pork belly and some edamame beans. It had a lively atmosphere and fairly efficient service

We were keen to try the new menu and encouraged by the queue to get a table. However, on arriving, the waiting person explained that their IT system wasn't working so there were longer waiting times than usual. We were in no hurry so decided to try it anyway. There was some delay but all the staff were so keen to ensure we had received evrything on our order in good time that we felt properly looked after. It must have been so difficult for them but they couldn't do enough for us. It was a celebration for Mum's 90th so we really wanted it to go well. The food was excellent, too.

Shocking service and food, wagamama Kingston used to be good but I suppose it's all of them now that are just disgusting service. We got our mains before starters, didn't brings drinks even after asking 3 different members of staff just poor really don't waste your money here.

Everyone received food different time. The drinks and food were great.

This restaurant has been here for a very long time and continues to be a popular choice for foodies....great food options and a great vibe!!

The food is okay, had the grilled chicken ramen, the flavour is basic so ordered sambal to spice it up otherwise would have been quite bland. The duck gyozas are nice. The service was okay they were busy and took a while to seat our group even though seating had opened up. They mixed up one of the orders for in our group with some others customers, which meant they had to make the dish again which meant one person had to wait whilst everyone else was eating.

As an Asian, I cannot understand why people are going here. Foods are not authentic and portions are small. So expensive for the food quality too.

Food lovely as usual. Efficient service but very very noisy fue to strange acoustic. Difficult to yalk when so busy...

It feels like you're bothering the staff

Average food, warm wine and beer. Miserable staff. Disappointed

I have just had the chicken and prawn Pad Thai delivered, it was simply awful. I found ONLY one small bit of chicken in it and lots, lots of leeks. Will avoid this place for sure.

It’s hit and miss with the staff here. I was served by a very moody waitress who made us wait ages just to order. We ended up calling someone else over as she didn’t seem to care to look our way. Disappointed as I love wagamama.

Very busy when we visited just before Xmas so there was a wait to ne seated. However the staff coped really well and checked on people waiting. Food and service were good.

Never disappoints,always great food and service. Lovely lunch again yesterday,this time I remembered to take pictures.

Stopped by for a quick bite to eat. Fairly standardised food and service. Quick service and in terms of taste ok. The ramen was ok but the broth not flavoursome. The egg was not marinated and essentially just a boiled egg. The katsu curry was ok. The bao buns were a bit soggy. The dessert was nice. If you want authentic don’t come here.. it’s more fusion…for example… I don’t agree with bao buns mixed with Korean flavours.

Delicious food and friendly staff,we experienced a bit of a problem that was sorted very quickly

It's been some time since my last wagamama and I was very much looking forward to it but, sadly, was pretty disappointed.. The food was okay but not great, there was minimal protein with the noodles and the flavours had a blandness that I didn't recall. For the cost (almost £15) I wanted better. It may be another long while before the next visit.

The picture speaks for itself. Always top quality food and always fresh and very reasonably priced. Always look forward to going there..

Shoutout to Joanna and the team for a wonderful night out

chicken gave me food poisoning service was ok flies everywhere

I was served by Rohan in Kingston branch today. It was a take away order placed in store. Rohan was absolutely amazing as soon as I walked in. I was aproached promptly. Rohan was kind & polite, profesional, patient, took his time to explain the dishes to me with a genuine smile on his face along the way. No question was a trouble for him. I was seated as soon as I placed my order with a drink to wait along. Food arrived before I even finished my aperitive. Credit goes to Rohan, true Gem. Store looked clean and tidy ready for the evening customers. Staff were happy and relaxed. Truly enjoyable atmosphere. Thank you.

Expect wagamama quality in the nicest environment.

Food was good as usual. Service could definitely be better. Very busy store over the weekends. Friendly staff.

Nice p Restaurant. Beaitful preregistration and tasty food. Love it

We had dinner this evening and one of us couldn’t decide on what to chose from the menu and asked George for advice and he was so pleasant and knew exactly what to recommend and both our meals were perfect. Always appreciate a member of staff that clearly enjoys his work environment and goes out of his way to help out and give advice.

Very busy. We were seated within 10 minutes, but they got the drinks order wrong and had to redo it. Food was good. Quite expensive for five people, but we had a successful meal. Would go there again, just perhaps earlier when they don't have people queueing out the door.

Wagamamas is one of our go-to spots for easy and tasty food. However, the Kingston one has really slipped in its standard. The food is as you would expect, no worse, no better, but the atmosphere is really what has suffered. Our last trip, we were surrounded by flies constantly, and our water glasses had lip marks on the rim and solidified green stuff (presumably old juices) stuck to the inside. We now make sure we only order in from wagamamas or go somewhere in London to eat in. Also, as a side note, I really miss the wagamama ramen. Please bring it back!

Georgios is great at his work he customer service is Exellent. Well done Georgios.

We went for a quick dinner on Friday night about 9pm. It was busy but not the busiest I’ve seen it for a weekend. Started off by being told we had to sit on the left side of the restaurant as they had closed the right side however when sat down we saw quite a few people be seated on the right side after us being made to sit on the left. We ordered our food - chilli squid, chicken gyoza, chilli chicken ramen and a chicken raisukaree. The sides were great no issues. When the chicken raisukaree came out the chicken was cold. I had con planned and had returned to lichen and remade - piping hot when it returned. The chilli chicken ramen - the chicken was so tough it couldn’t be cut with a spoon like usual. The chicken was also in huge pieces making it impossible to eat with the cutlery provided. When asked how the food was we said about the ramen, to be returned with well we are very busy. No apology. They did offer to remake but it was nearly 10pm by this point. Most of it was left as it was a chore to eat. When given the bill and was asked again if everything was ok. We said about the ramen again. No offer to remove from the bill just said again we are busy. Im sorry but it doesn’t matter how busy your restaurant is, if you create bad food when busy and blame the business for the poor food then people will Remember this and not come back. It sure had put us off Wagamama and it was a firm favourite in our household.

Very helpful staff when addressing my friends allergies. Always good food in wagas! Price is a little on the edge for me but still a meal I enjoy.

Expensive Asian fusion. Yummy but soo pricey

Amazing place, food good as always, but not best service

One of the really good restaurants. Food is full of flavor and very tasty. Manager and staff was excellent with service and thorough addressing any concerns we had

Took my daughter and four of her friends for a post-bowling meal. Food consistently good but friendly service from Magda really made the meal special - we sat separately from the children and she really looked after them and made them feel special. Thank you!

Food as good as ever. One overly chatty waiter!

Two times in a row I was disappointed. First time they introduced new meny and I couldn't eat raw vegetables ( courgette,butternut squash etc) because they are supposed to be cooked well to chew and eat. Second time had Ramen with fried Chicken( all night suffering from diarrhoea) . Previous experiences where actually excellent so not sure did they change chefs or whether something else is going on but avoid if you can

It's one of my favourite restaurants. I love the food and the service.

It's a standard Wagamama. Staff rotate frequently, but haven't had any bad experiences yet, over the many years coming here. The food/menu changes a few times a year and it's fairly good all the time. At the moment (for the last few menus) they have increased vegan options, at the cost of reducing vegetarian dishes which I think is a shame.

Standard. Not bad. Pretty dry. Everything came to our table at odd intervals.

All 4 of us had totally different food: (Buddhist, Muslim, Vegetarian & eats anything).Visually appealing & subtle explosions of flavour = delicious

Not sure why people bother with this chain anymore

Food was lovely, our waitress wasn't!! She was young and rude. Maybe needs some training in the people skill department. Doesn't matter how good the food is, if the staff are poor it takes away from the experience. We will not be returning.

Food was good if a tad cold. Still not a fan of the food coming at different times.

Lovely place, very clean, nice and caring staff, very fast service and food quality is top. Best Wagamama to date!

The miso soup was great and so was the service from Nathan and Othniel

Amazing food amazing staff great atmosphere what more could you want great restaurant

Absolutely love the firecracker chicken mains and chilli squid starter, green juice is good too. Hubby loves their noodles. So glad we have a wagamamma close by!

I rarely eat out and generally eating out causes me stress as I have coeliacs disease and have to be on a strictly gluten free diet as even a very small amount of gluten makes me unwell for many days. When I arrived, I explained this to Mya and she went and got the gluten free menu and explained that she would get the manager as he had to deal with allergy orders. The manager came very quicky, explained the procedure and that my meal would take slightly longer than my friends to prepare as it was cooked separately. This was really reassuring. Mya was very friendly and efficient and enhanced our enjoyment of the meal. Thank you

After having visited the Trafford Centre branch and having a delicious meal, we decided to visit the Kingston Upon Thames branch after a long journey from Cheshire. Staff were welcoming and pleasant however the food was under par. I ordered chicken ramen and my husband ordered pad Thai. The chicken ramen was basic, the chicken over cooked and in large pieces which was very difficult to consume with chopsticks in a bowl and was tough. The broth was lacklustre and a bit tasteless. My husbands pad Thai looked appetising but was also bland. After enjoying Wagamama elsewhere it was disappointing to have such a poor meal. It was near 10pm and seemed as if it was all winding down although opening times are until 11pm.

I visited Wagamama's Kingston this week and it was such a pleasant experience. The service was amazing and all servers were attentive. We placed our order and within 15 minutes our food was being served. It all tasted amazing and I could not recommend enough how good the Yaki Udon Chicken and Prawn was. Definitely will be going back again!!

It was my first time trying out Wagamama's after being recommended going there by a number of friends and I was not disappointed! The service was immaculate and the food was excellent. We were looked after very well and the staff were very friendly. Thank you for such a lovely experience and I will definitely be back!

Outstanding service from the minute we walked in. Having never eaten at Wagamama, it was a bit of a learning curve. Our server, Nathan did an amazing job of explaining the menu. Needless to say the food was delicious.

Just want to say thank you to Mya who was our waitress. She made us smile with her welcoming conversation and helped with recommendations! Thank you!

Ate with my family on a Sunday evening and the quality of the food (particularly the mains) was far below the standard we have enjoyed in the past. The salmon teriyaki was bland and under seasoned. Other choices were equally uninspiring. It felt as though the usual chef must have been having a night off.

Thank you for such great service Nathan. We really appreciated your attention to detail (and the katsu sauce)!

My partner and I normally frequent Wagamama Kingston or order via Deliveroo, and normally service is 4/10 and food is 8/10, however this time service was 10/10 and food was 10/10. Nathan was attentive, took initiative, was polite and even waved goodbye as he finished his shift. We've both had a long day and we needed some niceness and Nathan was perfect, and so were the chefs! Nathan looked after us beautifully which was exactly what we needed.

Friday evening 25th November and we came here for dinner. There was no queue so we were shown straight to our table and given the menus. To start with we ordered two large bottles of Ashai beers, which were £7.30 each. Then rather predictably we ordered a chicken chilli Rahman each, £12.70. When the meals were served, they were bowls bursting with flavour and taste. The chicken breast was perhaps a tad overcooked, it did not spoil the meal in any way. We were able to pay our bill, which came to £40, by clicking on the QR Code on our place mats, key in the table number and off you go. There was also the option to leave a tip. The staff were friendly and efficient. We had a very enjoyable experience here.

The food is very poor. The chicken did not taste like chicken at all and was a grey colour, after complaining to the staff they too agreed that this dish wasn’t their favourite. It is too expensive for what it is.

Went on Friday and food was an absolute delight albeit a Rainy day Nathan was more than helpful to guide me to the Wagamama cuisine , Definitely love to visit again.

I am a regular here, I love the chain and ambience; it is lovely, but sadly, at this location, the food can be either fantastic one day or poor the next. For example, burnt Yaki Udon and missing proteins etc. On other days it's picture-perfect and amazing. I think they need to work on consistency to keep people coming back.

Manager was rude, almost blaming deliveroo for not picking up the items. They surely pack the bag and seal it. Bad customer service and finger pointing.

I went to Wagamamas last night for my birthday. As we went through the door the waitress showed us to a table and advised she would need to clean it before being seated. The manager came over (assume he was the manager anyway) and said...

Friendly staff. Food was ok (standard Waga) and decent portions but service was slow even though there weren’t many people in the restaurant.

Service was fast and the food was good with no problems. Nice atmosphere and the food came out quickly but some of my party got their meals much later than the rest of us despite us asking. other than that it’s a good wagamama’s.

Wagamama in Kingston offered friendly & top quality services. The food was delicious and the recommendation were wonderful by the staff. Maya our waitress, offered an examplary costumer service that made our experience even more pleasant and memorable. Thank you Wagamama!

Mya has delivered exceptional customer service which is second to none! (5 stars). She has recommended us great dishes as well as having an accommodating vibe that made my friend and I feel welcomed.

I'm very used to the Wagamama convention of dishes arriving at different times, but when half of the party has received and finished all of their food before the other half has received even a side dish, that's quite poor. The first-served half of the...

As always we got a warm welcome at Wagamama with friendly and efficient service. The table was comfortable with well-spaced dividers between tables. There are loads of menu choices and the food is delicious but unfortunately scarcely anything suitable for coeliacs - just two dishes...
