If you can wait 5 mins for a table this place is brilliant. Always good food, service and atmosphere.

only my second visit to Wagamama and first evening visit. We had to queue for about 15 minutes to get in but once seated we had a really fantastic experience. Aisha who served us was lovely, the food was amazing apart from the Gyozo that were just bizarre. All in all a fantastic evening.

As a regular customer of Wagamama at rushden lakes, the last meal I had here was disgusting. The chicken that was served was raw the other food that also came to the table was cold. After asking to speak to the manager the manager came over to the table to tell us it was a vein in the chicken and that if we would like we could have a fresh plate cooked. After receiving this chicken it put myself and my partner off the meal. I was very disappointed on how this was acted on, it was never offered to have it taken off the bill we had to ask as we wasn’t satisfied with the food received, after taking this further the customer service back in regards to this is awful, no customer care what so ever.

Nice staff and clean restaurant but quality of food very poor in flavour and taste. If the chef If the had tasted both my partners and my dishes they would not of sent them out. I was really looking forward to trying the Wagamama experience but based on what we experienced both my partner and I won’t be back. Very disappointing but great staff.

You know what? This place used to be my go-to in Rushden Lakes. The food is usually to die for, but on my last visit, I was left underwhelmed. The kick in the food just wasn't there. And you *need* the *kick.* So this time it gets a 3/5. The drinks can also be a tad bit stronger. But this place is still a good time. It'll still take my money, if pork belly anything is on the menu.

Went to Rushden lakes branch tonight have been a few times before. Not one to usually write reviews but felt I had to due to the waitress we had, a girl called Lilly. A breath of fresh air. Made us feel very welcome, was very attentive, polite and helpful with ideas for our order. The drinks arrived very fast and the dishes came out staggered but just right. My daughter was waiting for her main and before we even had to ask where it was she appeared apologised for the hold up and went to chase it up, with the dish not far behind. Worked her tables impressively showing the same attention to detail to all diners The recommendation on my mild curry with having a side of firecracker sauce was the best. Praise when praise due. Well done

We last visited this restaurant on 24 April this year. It was a very poor experience. I tried to contact the management to explain my thoughts but couldn’t so I wrote a TripAdvisor review. After many chats with them later and my offers of suggested changes to their systems and supervision I wondered if anythings changed……Marginally! Reception slightly improved. Trying to place an order or seeking assistance ..requiring a drink..or the bill. Still very difficult to 'catch the eye’ of the food service team who were NOT busy. I asked if there was a manager on duty and got a mumble reply that suggested more than one…….but nobody came to see us. I made a very bad choice. A tasteless grilled chicken ramen…..the chicken was grossly over cooked and therefore very dry and tough. I won’t make that mistake again. My wife chose much more wisely, Shu's 'skiok' chicken which she throughly enjoyed! The waiter did ask if it was all OK…my wife said it was wonderful, I said no, mine was tasteless and over cooked and he apologised. This establishment basically lacks good supervision to ensure that customers are being cared for. We like Wagamamas…but NOT THIS ONE!

Awful food. We got three ramens and all were abysmal- the soup was absolutely tasteless, quite literally tasted like water, and the noodles were so soft they tasted like cheap pot noodle noodles. The pork in the pork ramen was not at all crispy and just tasted like a badly cooked lump of meat. It was quite busy so the service was bit slow, but that’s understandable to some extent. However, the food was just not up to standard and made the whole experience really disappointing…

My husband and I arrived at this restaurant at 8:45 on 20/06. We were seated immediately and a drinks order taken, after a 20 minute wait I approached the bar and asked where our drinks were; throughout the time, we observed the waiting staff chatting and laughing around the bar. My query was dealt with in a dismissive manner and no apology was given. After another 10 minutes we finally got our drinks and our food was ordered, which came relatedly quickly. We asked for the bill, waited another 10 minutes and so decided to stand by our table to see if this would elicit any action from the staff. We were eventually given our bill. We were disappointed by the standard of service, especially when the restaurant was quite - there were only 10 tables being used in total, inside and out. We waited 30 minutes for a food order and drinks, then another 10 minutes for the bill. Also what is happening to the portion sizes? they seem to be shrinking!!

Food is mostly very good - with little exceptions. It feels healthy and fresh. The service isn't as good as it used to be. It feels like all the floor staff is underpaid, underage, and is not really engaged in what they do. Firstly - we had to wait for our drinks forever. Secondly - I received all my food before my friend got her starters,but couldn't eat as there was no cutlery. After we asked for the cutlery, we had to ask again as it wasn't complete. We had find sauces and tissues by ourselves. I still had a good time, but it is not as good as before.

Nestled in a charming shopping area, Wagamama beckons with its stunning all-window exterior, offering picturesque views of the serene lake or the vibrant hustle and bustle of people strolling along the waterfront. As you step inside, you're greeted by an ambiance that seamlessly blends modern elegance with inviting warmth. But let's talk about the main event – the food. With prices that won't break the bank, Wagamama offers a culinary experience that's as delightful for the taste buds as it is for the wallet. Families are welcomed with open arms, with a dedicated kids' menu and high chairs available for the little ones. When it comes time to order, the convenience of paying by QR code streamlines the process, leaving you more time to savor each delectable bite. And speaking of bites, the ramen options are nothing short of sensational. While there are several tempting choices, my personal favorite is the mouthwatering beef brisket paired with a perfectly seasoned tea egg. Of course, Wagamama has something for everyone. For my wife, the chicken teppanyaki is always a hit, with tender chicken and a flavorful sauce that's sure to please even the most discerning palate. So, whether you're in the mood for a leisurely lunch with a view or a family-friendly dinner that satisfies every craving, Wagamama delivers an unforgettable dining experience that's as satisfying as it is memorable.

We were seated pretty quickly but had to wait quite a while for our orders to be taken. The staff were friendly, the food was tasty, and their alcohol free drinks were delicious, albeit a little pricey. The vegan sticky ribs are a must 😋 I didn't realise they have their own cookbook, available to buy in amazon. All in all, it is a nice place to eat, even if the service is a little slow.

We have eaten in at least 5-6 other Wagamama’s and we have always enjoyed all aspects of that experience. Nice cheerful staff keen to provide a good fast service, attentive and returning frequently to ensure all's well. Food that’s been very tasty and well presented and usually hot. Rushden Lakes branch fell on all of the above criteria. It was Wednesday lunch time and the restaurant had barely 10% occupancy. When a waitress did appear there was no warm welcome..not even a ‘hello'!………just a 'wait there!' We were directed to a table which we turned down and we were led to another, with a look of disdain. From there on every time we wished for service we had to ask and it took an age to produce a result. As the restaurant was so empty we could observe that there was no good reason for such delays. There were 4 food service staff on duty none appeared to be enjoying their work. What they did do was to create a negative ambiance throughout the restaurant. Our food order spent much too long on the huge thick marble counter top being rapidly cooled by heat loss into the counter. Marble is used in kitchens as an excellent surface to reduce food temperatures. I observed this happening continuously during our visit. I suggested to the head chef he could reduce this problem by placing the plates on cloths or paper to insulate the food from this obvious heat loss. Not only was the food tepid but the cooking liquor had drained down off the food onto the plate so the food above becomes less flavoursome and colder as a result. I did suggest that the contract we had on entering the establishment had been broken and I was entitled to reduce the amount I was charged. The chef offered me a voucher. But not living locally I chose not to accept. Wagamama managent need to urgently review not only work practices and procedures but also consider how to overcome basic design flaws in their front of house operations to ensure foods are served at the RECOMMENDED food safety temperatures!

The edamame we ordered was so hard and chewy it was so hard to swallow so we just left it. The bao buns we ordered came out at completely different time mid meal. My partners food came out way before mine, he had almost finished his as mine arrived. We couldn’t even ask to get the Edamame off the bill as no one would come over to take our plates or ask how the food was. however our waitress was lovely. The mains themselves were lovely. Disappointing first visit. Was definitely not worth the price :(

I've had better tasting POT NOODLES with more of a flavour. By the time my daughter's dishes (starter's and main's) came out i had already finished... FIrst time and LAST for me

There was a queue when we arrived but the staff seated us as quickly as they could. Ruben was amazing, recommended dishes to us and helped us with our questions, and when we sat down he informed us that starters were on the way to us on the house! And they were incredible - the mushroom bao buns and fried oyster mushrooms (I had mentioned to him that I was vegan :) ) The vegatsu was delish as always! Thoroughly recommend and thank you Ruben for making our date night extra special!!!
