wagamama oxford in Oxford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

i couldn’t decide what food i wanted and josh suggested me what to have which was very nice, he was a respectful and nice server.

What you would expect from any other Wagamamas, but everything is up to that standard. Great Japanese food, immaculate vibes and friendly staff. There is always a buzz. What’s not to like.

The Wagamama in Oxford offers what you would expect from a Wagamama. The food is absolutely delicious and as always with fresh ingredients and freshly prepared. The staff is super friendly and attentive. You will receive very good advice when choosing dishes. Personally, I think it's great that you can pay directly on a website, so you don't have to wait when you're finished and want to leave. This is Wagamama standard and I highly recommend it.

We got the pork gyoza and the beef bao. The bao was really good but the gyoza wasnt our thing. We also got the coconut curry and the katsu curry which were both very good

We were sat very speedily and felt instantly comfortable in the familiar Wagamama dining room. Xav was our server and he was nothing short of exemplary for how any waiter should be! Quick and polite service paired with really tasty food. Will be returning soon!

Food was amazing and service from Radhika was top notch.

The staff was very polite and made sure we were satisfied with our food and help us with whatever we needed. We didn’t try a lot of dishes but the plates we ordered came fast and they were delicious And even though there were a lot of people in the restaurant the atmosphere was really nice and not that loud.

We ate here tonight with our family and friends. The food was delicious and we had wonderful service from Xavier, who also went the extra mile to post my daughter’s magazine back to her after she left it in the restaurant. Thank you! Highly recommend this Wagamamas!

Food was cold and tasted off. It looked like it was cooked and left to sit. When we told the waitress, she got aggressive and said this is what it is. For what you pay, this was appalling. The staff don't really care, you are better of going to an independent resturant. Last time I go to this chain.

The food was scrumptious and the service was excellent and quick. There is a very positive atmosphere .

I was really disappointed with my recent visit to Wagamama. I used to go a lot when I was younger, but the quality and taste of the food have gone downhill. I ordered the chilli chicken ramen and the salmon carpaccio starter. The ramen was cold and tasteless, and I had to add a lot of chilli oil, chilli powder, and soy sauce to make it decent. It made me sad because Wagamama used to be one of my favourite places to eat. The interior and decor are still lovely, but I won’t be coming back anytime soon. I hope they improve.

Hi everyone, we have been to wagamama restaurants a few times and the experience was great everytime, I must say they just get everything right, the food was fresh, cooked well, tasty and very well presented, its always busy there and that shows you that this place doing a good job, really authentic asian dishes and the sizes are massive, if you are not hungry one dish will do for 2 people, highly recommend stopping to them if you go in Oxford town centre !

Great food, visited twice in a week, highly recommended

First time been here and had bussing food served by Xav here in Oxford

The place was really nice, warm and cozy. Good ambiance and service. Really like the goyoza and noodles. Would recommend.

Visited Wagama oxford with a few friends recently.The best Japanese cuisine I have tasted in a while. I ordered beef ramen and it was delicious and we ordered some sides as well Chilly squid to name a few.The service was quick as well. Omkar suggested us to try raisukaree which was amazing glad we listened and order what he suggested. Thanks. Will visit again in the near future.

I ate the dandan noodles, but as others commented, the taste was bland, and for some reason the kimchi topping was added. I realized that the ramen I eat overseas is not delicious no matter where I go.

LOVE this place. Food never disappoints!! Amazing service always - extra special thanks to Naeem 👍👍

They are offering lots more vegan options. Even though I'm NOT vegan I've tried a few and they are delicious. What would be really nice would be if they got the hand dryers in the toilets to work!!!

Was all Millie. Wags wouldn’t be the same without Millie

Starters came at the same time as our mains which was disappointing but to be fair I did get extra grease on my food for free

The food was great as usual (that’s why we come here!). Our server Millie really made our day. She was attentive upbeat and chatty. A real asset. X

Xavier made me feel very welcome and gave me great service on my anniversary. Would recommend coming here and hopefully you have the same waiter as I did.

Had an amazing experience, Xavier was great and really helped with all of our problems and needs. Would highly recommend and would definitely come back

Great service, atmosphere and delicious food at Wagamama this evening! Thanks to Millie, Josh and Xav!

I absolutely love this place! The food is authentic and delicious, and the service is efficient and friendly. The only drawback for me is the relatively loud music, which in turn elevates the volume of everyone's conversations and the whole restaurant. Other than that, Wagamama is amazing!

Great assistance and service as always from Mr xavier. Thank you

Had a takeaway and the food was delicious

I dont think i have ever left a restaurant review. I must have eaten in wagamamma a 100 times . my wife and i went to itsu in oxford for a meal it was so revolting we left it all. We wanted some noodles so we went to this place thinking well at least we know what we will get will be edible. i am afraid we were completely wrong. Like all wagamamma when you order for some reason your order comes bit by bit over time. first we got a bowl of rice then about 10 minutes later another dish came then about 10m minutes after that we got the main dishes by which time the rice and first dish were cold we asked for a new bowl of rice which they served we then set about trying to eat the main course which was almost indebible including the earlier dish. i left half my dish my wife about 3/4 we then got a bill for £35 . We left with a revolting taste in our mouth and had to go to a cafe to eat something sweet to take the awful taste away . The restaurant had about maximum 10 people in it but you would have thought it had a 100 the way the place was run it was about 5.30 so maybe it was a change of shift or something. i dont think i will ever go to wagamamma again anywhere. The staff were OK but seemed to be a bit confused about everything . There appears to be nowhere in oxford worth eating in which is strange when you think it is a tourist and student hotspot. I would give no stars if possible for the food

In my humble opinion as Japanese, Katsu Curry was fake.

We've been given a very tasty food ...nothing to complain about.

My order number #8092 had peppers even though I called them immediately after I placed the order to request them to remove some of the ingredients as I am allergic. There is no option to remove them on deliveroo and instead of being understanding the lady who I spoke to at 10:51pm Friday 22nd March 2024 still said she won't tell the chefs to not include them in my meal. I'm very unhappy that I have paid for a meal with ingredients that I am allergic to & will be seeking a full refund. I am disappointed in this service & will not be returning

The Thai chilli margarita is not for the faint of heart, nor the faint of will. In fact only a true colossus can withstand the heat of the chilli followed by the fire of tequila 🔥🔥

Really good will definitely go again

We were served by Xav who was very accomadating, even with our request to have two flavours of gyzoas on one plate! Very friendly and food was delicious as usual. 10/10 for service and food.

Our waitress Laibah was totally wonderful- as was the food, thank you!

Never disappoints Delicious food Very lively and lovely service Omkar ( our server ) was very helpful with recommendations and explained the dishes well to my grandparents who were visiting… I was quite impressed with his knowledge of the menu and friendly attitude that made my family so comfortable… Lilia who was managing the tables was so fun and accommodating … she helped us find a large table in a very busy time Will definitely will visit again and recommend while visiting Oxford.

The place has been going down for ages but the last visit was a disgrace … curries that have the world smallest prawns at the price tag for a king prawn ones, overcooked chicken starter and a sloppy chilly squid. I am done with Wagamama if Oxford represents what Wagamama is.

The noodles are not cooked properly and stick together, and the tantanmen has a unique taste made by soaking cilantro and kimchi in bland water. The menu shows Korean and Japanese cuisine, but this is neither Korean nor Japanese cuisine. British-style Japanese food was not easy to taste.

Great place with great vibe, waiters with good knowledge of the menu, and recommended dishes. 👌 we keep coming back and we love it every single time

Very delicious! Service was pretty decent, queue fairly short. Keep in mind it may be queuing at least five families out the door at peak time.

Absolutely disappointing. Normally I don't have a problem but not only did I receive uncut vegetables I received hotpot with chili oil when I asked without the broth it self tasted like pure water just extreme spiciness. And I still had to pay for it as they were sure I didn't have chilli oil in however I had a nice hot pot here before and had it with chili oil which then I asked without as I couldnt handle how spicy it was so I knew they didn't do it without

Good food and service, nice quiet location

my fav place to go for a quick lunch, good value for my fav mini yaki soba!! quick service and rlly cute inside x have had click and collect and also regularly eat in and both have been great x

the food was below average. we ordered a food which had chiken and pawn. then we asked to remove the pawn. but instead of adding more chiken or at least vegetable, they just brought a nuddle with 2-3 pieces of small chiken!!! so yes, we paid for a plain nuddle! so disappointed!

Best Wagamama we have ever been to! Good food, good atmosphere, great service.

Xavier and Bailey were exceptional servers - would definitely recommend going again.

Rude waitress, worst dining experience in Oxford, not recommended

Un buon ristorante di cucina orientale, zuppe molto buone, servizio cortese e veloce, ambiente gradevole, privo di odori sgradevoli nonostante la cucina a vista. Prezzi nella media.

Usual lovely food and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Had a lovely time here, food was delicious and the guy who served our table just made our evening so much better. He was polite, friendly and so attentive - I hope Wagamama values him as he will be the reason we will be going back on a regular basis. Thank you Noah for making our evening ☺️

Cooked frozen chicken had a funny taste and was very hard, the rest of the food and drinks were good.

Came for a quick lunch and the restaurant was not busy. Despite this my food was not hot. When (politely) pointing this out to the waitress, there was no apology, only an aggressive denial. For the prices now being charged, cool noodles are simply not worth it. What a shame.

Resumen: servicio lamentable, comida fría, higiene pésima. Desde el primer momento nos atendieron fatal. Vinimos porque buscamos en internet mejores restaurantes asiáticos y nos salió este. Sin duda no repetiremos. Perdieron la comanda de tres de nuestro grupo, sirvieron a todos y se despreocuparon, a pesar de verse claramente que había 3 personas que no tenían comida. Tuvimos que avisar 6 veces a dos camareras distintas para que al final nos hicieran caso y volvieran a pedir los platos. Cuando llegaron, se habían equivocado con los platos que habíamos pedido y uno de ellos venia no con UNO, sino con DOS pelos.

The WORST ramen I ever tasted. I work as a private chef and they served me OLD RAMEN, the smell was sooo bad that I almost vomit. This is not the first time. I’ve been trying in different Wagamamas, different cities, but Oxford is always the worst…

Josh is a fantastic person working in your team! Very helpful and kind!

Went here spontaneously and our server was unbelievably amazing and the food was top notch!!!!

Great food, nice atmosphere. £100 for four people with 3 starters and 3 soft drinks.

It's a wagamama. What more can you say.

拉麵、烤肉跟餃子完全不道地、不太符合亞洲人口味；但服務人員跟店內裝潢很不錯。

I wasn't impressed by the food. Too expensive for this quality of the food and restaurant. The staff very nice and friendly.

Delicious food but service is not good

I liked the place. I liked the free green tea they offer. I liked the employee attitude. I liked the general atmosphere. I recommend having a delicious meal there or a cup of green tea.

The service was good and the food was excellent and I would go again!

disappointing! ordered the belly pork ramen.. don't get much for £15. few thinly sliced pork belly that's been fried.. not much ramen nor other ingredients.. the good things are the fresh bean shoots. soup base was ok. not very authentic Japanese.. you won't find this in Japan. won't be returning.

Not for black people. My first experience with something that looks like racism. I don’t usually give a hoot about such stuff because I think colour has nothing to do with being dumb or having a low IQ. Maybe it’s rascism maybe it’s not but I was expected to hold a menu and place an order standing plus wait for the food for 15minutes while standing. Amazing ! This lady had me standing at the door with a menu. I went back to ask her if that’s what really happened or I was jaded. The reply was : customers order their food then hang around and come back to pick it. They had an empty space upstairs but that is not usually open. However clients went up while I was standing there and clients went up when I passed earlier and had walked all the way to west gate then decided to come back and order a meal. She said : priority seating is for those who eat in and that she meant I could take a seat but if people came in then she would have to seat them first. Despite the attempts to confuse me, it really is clear what happened here. I’ve never had Wagamama before and someone literally chatted me up that night and said go try their food. There are lots of nice restaurants on the roof top of west gate mall and that’s where I was initially headed. I won’t miss what I’ve never eaten.

Overall the food was tasty. My only reason it's a 4 star was the Ramen noodles were a bit soft on the bite or was over cooked slightly.

Паста неперевершена. Креативний заклад, готують швидко, їжа смачна, офіціанти посміхаються. Дякуємо за чудову атмосферу та гарний настрій)

I’m a huge Wagamama fan and really enjoy the food and trying new dishes. Today I went to the Wagamama in Oxford and had Judith as my waitress and this has yet been the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. She is so attentive, polite and joyful. Thank you for making our experience even better due to your service.

Easy ordering, quick delivery to the table and easy payment via their menu QR, very efficient operation and good food!

Solid Japanese fare at a reasonable price. Come for lunch or a quick meal

Exactly what was needed after a very long day. We both needed 'warming soup', so I was delighted with my chilli chicken ramen, and my wife really enjoyed her chicken ramen.

Very disappointed in customer service. Leather bag badly damaged by substance used to clean table. Told to email complaint but totally ignored

Very popular place, it's best to arrive early. Great food, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere all make for an enjoyable eating experience. I would definitely recommend.

We love this place but it's almost victim of its own success. Long queue to get in on a Sunday (not their fault and handled very well by staff who come out and chat to you and give a time estimate), orders mixed up/delayed (rectified by staff constantly checking on us). Not the cheapest place to have lunch either. On the plus side, the food & drinks are awesome and the staff are really friendly and working hard. Perhaps on a less busy day you'll get the positives only?

Food always fine, waiters are very friendly but good luck trying to get one to take payment. Usually they are all too busy gossiping to bother to notice someone waiting to pay

Great food, ambience and service. A place to visit in the heart of Oxford and also it remains open till 10 PM.

Great atmosphere and the food is pretty good. Not quite as tasty as other Wagas I've been to but the place and staff are lovely. Would recommend.

We had a lovely welcoming from noah, such a lovely atmosphere and he waas so accommodating. The food was amazing all staff very chatting and

I used to go eat at Wagamamas all the time back when I lived in the UK. Went there for the nostalgia and well… I took a ramen and some Chili squid. The ramen was alright but, honestly, the Chili squid could’ve been called the salted squid instead and the name would’ve been more fitting as it felt like it was dipped in salt before serving.

Had a good time at wagamama as a stop off for lunch! We enjoyed going as a group of 4 and got in pretty easily. The service was sharp, and we got our food in around 15 minutes of sitting down. We all had different dishes but shared between us - all agreed on the shirodashi pork belly ramen!! We had a bit of a problem when needing things, though, and couldn't be attended to as swiftly as normal. But I really enjoyed all the equations on the window - made us feel smart!!

It was a nice restaurant with friendly staff. Food was great as always. Definitely enjoyed the steamed buns

Very, very disappointed. On our canal holiday we decided to order a takeaway (due to having a dog with us). Walked 15mins there and then 15 mins back to discover one of the meals was missing. When we rang, and they realised the meal was still with them, the only options given was to have a new one cooked to have picked up in an hour or a voucher!! We went for the 1st option but really this wasn't at all acceptable as one of us had to wait while the 1st meals were eaten and then walk again to fetch the other. No compensation at all was offered.

I could eat my own weight in their steamed buns ;)

If you love a wagas this is a perfect store. Chicken katsu curry is always my go to and this didn’t disappoint. Friendly staff, nicely decorated store.

The food was quite bland and there was an egg shell in the food. I had to ask to be seated.

Noah was excellent server very friendly very polite we got our food order straight away and I mentioned that I would like the starter first rather than with meal as I k ow they come all together and he did this for me

Great place. Food is delicious, and the service was amazing. It does get crowded and even with a reservation you'll need to wait for a table.

Incredible noodles, and for a restaurant that looks (and is) trendy, it was quite friendly to families, with a children's menu that is thoughtfully adjusted to a child's palate.

Coming in here with my husband, we didn't exactly expect an "authentic" Asian restaurant, but we were very confused when we received our chicken chili ramen because it didn't taste like ramen at all, what we got was more like Penang Asam Laksa. The broth had a fresh light spicy soury taste, topped with red onions, coriander leaves, big red chillies, beansprouts, and lime (which is just like Asam Laksa without the fish). Even the noodles tasted and looked more like rice noodles than ramen noodles. I think if they changed the name to "chili noodles" instead of "chili ramen" at least it wouldn't be so misleading. The yakisoba was better (albeit maybe too many ginger slices), though both dishes were a bit too bland for us. That said, the food was still ok and didn't taste terrible, but it would probably fit the palates of British people better than ours (I will say that the place was very packed for a Monday night, though most of the customers were not Asians, and as far as I could see the chefs were not either). You can get much better ramen for cheaper prices at other places in Oxford. Service was great and friendly.

Regular customer here. They keep changing and experimenting with menus so the quality varies. Ramen in particular, the beef brisket ramen has changed recent, and I was not the biggest fan.

visited with family and was served by Noah! had the sweetest interactions and treated all of us amazing! can’t recommend enough.

If you’re craving ramen or dumplings, this is the place for you! I ordered their ramen bowl with chicken dumplings, and it was delicious. Their green tea is free. The environment has warm lighting and is brick with lots of modern twists. My one qualm: The place is very popular, so you might have to wait a bit to be seated. The wait is understandable though, and worth it once you get their food! The food was a bit pricey, but the portions are very large.

Good food, service can be improved, they had to be reminded to bring the last of our four orders. Good place for quick, casual dining.

Awesome food, don’t bother ordering a drink with Deliveroo though, they forget it every time. It hadn’t even been checked off the ticket

Wagamama is always a good place to go when you don't know what you want. They have great staff and food. The seating is a bit cramped often, and it's always loud even when it's empty, there must be something with the acoustics. This specific one is the perfect size and has a great layout.

Amazing food and super helpful staff. Lidia was helpful with my allergens and helped me work out the best dish and it helped the dish was amazing! Will definitely be back and hopefully soon!

Apart from usual wagamama experience food and atmosphere wise, this place shines with extremely patient and polite staff Even at quite a busy time of the day all the staff was polite, professional and extremely efficient at dealing with tables and requests in timely manner

Delicious food and great service.

Nous étions deux, nous avons attendu 15 minutes le premier plat alors que nous avions commandé des entrées. Puis la première entrée est arrivée... 10 minutes plus tard, il a fallu pleurer pour avoir le deuxième plat et encore 10 minutes pour la deuxième entrée. En fait, le restaurant travaille tellement pour la vente à emporter que les clients du restaurant attendent... Nous nous sommes plaints et nous avons quand même eu une remise sur notre addition. Quel dommage pour une chaîne qui faisait de bons plats ! La vente à emporter gâche le plaisir de celui qui prend la peine de manger sur place ☹️
