This chili oil is like crack cocaine. Pour it all over your yaki soba or directly into your mouth.

Lilit Marcus

Unlike other wagamamas around the world, this one serves brunch ! Yes, that includes avocado toast .

Anthony

It's wagamama more can be said? As good as any of their other locations, the main draw is the katsu curry . That said, the wagamama ramen is the best bang for your buck. They have chicken and veg broth

Edward Tinsley

As a Londoner for whom Wagamama was part of the routine...ebi katsu , yaki soba and a raw fruit juice are consistently delicious and homely

Emil H

Chicken + Shrimp Yaki Soba is tasty, and a smaller portion, if that's what you are going for, and the duck gyoza are particularly great.

Christina Chin

Positive juice drink is delish and refreshing! Ramen is decent, pork is leaner & more charred. Tea egg was lil hard boiled than i normally like but noodles were thin. Pork buns are great and have kick

Flora Reyes

Katsu Curry !!! ???? as good as the Boston location. Loved the food and the prices are fair .

Wan Miz

I’d been to the one in London and I loved it. I felt the same here. The staff is great and the manager is very attentive. The food was great for vegetarians and meat eaters. It was delicious and cozy !

pipitu

One of the few places in town where you can get carrot juice . I would recommend donburi over ramen here. I like the grilled duck donburi best.

Tara Dogra

One of the best Wagamamas I have been to, even tops the ones in London. Fantastic service and almost every dish is amazing and very fresh.

Emil H

The Spicy Chicken Ramen is a great place to start.

Kimmie Ohh

On my first visit here (when they first opened), the service was excellent. Employees were very friendly & attentive. Their spicy food was actually spicy .

Tom

UK import. Really large space , great for groups . Large variety of fusion offerings, not the best but decent. Service is very spotty.

WEI WEI

Trendy vibe, fresh ingredients , pretty big portion . But don't expect authentic Japanese ramen here. There are many more better choices in the city if you actually want good ramen .

Elizabeth Burstein

The pork steamed bun with apple Panko was my favorite, the wagamama ramen has too many meats but the broth and noodles were great

Jay Sekulow

Great spot for dinner , very comforting but elegant food! Will be back

John

What a great place! Excellent food (expecially the Ramen ) and friendly staff ! Shoutout to Peter, an incredible host

Michael Cosaboom

Really tasty pan-Asian fast casual . A little pricy for lunch but I guess that’s for the prime location on the park .

Matthew Caldecutt

Long wait -- more than 20 minutes -- during the lunch rush for slightly better than mediocre ramen . I'll try again when the novelty wears off. Iced ginger tea was well worth it.

Marianne

Nice place to eat ???? highly recommended! Excellent service????????

Carol

Was fascinating in London when I tried it years ago, but underwhelming when I went again. Trendy chain but in nyc you can find way better Asian fusion that isn’t watered down. Don’t get pork bao . Wtf

Roniel Tessler

A perfect, fast, yummy, option for something easy.

Gagan Singh

Good vegeterian choices. Very roomy . Communal tables. Great place to have lunch .

Rainbow T

Decent size portions with lots of toppings for the ramen is a plus.

Kathy Liu

Wagamama ramen and the smoothies are very good

Kathy Liu

Wagamama ramen and the smoothies are very good

Giulia M

Steak bulgogi !! Full of flavor and big portion . Also good as take out !

Dan Geiger

The donburi is perfectly sufficient but the ramen lack any real flavor beyond plain old chicken broth .

Crystal Pang

They have a separate vegan menu with great asian fusion dishes!

Adam Schuit

Surprisingly delicious and affordable ! Also nice decor just a weird layout.

Jack Osborne

The Katsu curry is fine but it's not the same as their UK restaurants and I sadly can't put my finger on why.

Jon Pressman

Banana katsu dessert w/ caramel ice cream

J Crowley

Ask to sit upstairs, otherwise your clothes will end up stinking like Wagamama. The ventilation in the kitchen is nonexistent.

Shaquoia Lanier

Prime Rib Beef Ramen was delissshhh

Lisa Rodriguez

Nothing special. I had the coconut ice cream dessert . Even that was just bleh... it could have used a sauce or something to enhance or compliment the coconut .

Vivian Li

Not worth the hype. Noodles had a strange texture, not enough broth, and they openly advised us the (free) green tea is watered down by the end of the day. Chicken kara age was the only decent thing.

Lee Simpson

Everything here is good and I mean EVERYTHING.

Murat Gülen

I love the chicken noodle + rice

Sandra Rubinchik

The noodles in the itame curry dish were so overcooked, they disintegrated. ????

Yoeun Pen

The Steak Bulgogi was delicious. The Shirodashi Pork Ramen was not. Broth was too sweet. Noodles were overcooked.

Rowland Hobbs

Vegan goo!

Ron Hsu

The new spicy curry portion is pretty tiny.

Joanna Lau

Teppanyaki was okay - the ramen was lukewarm.

Alston Green

All their food is good

Ilie Kim

Apparently they do take reservations . Not that you need one.

Vladimir

Try Wagamama ramen !

Analee Kasudia

Steak bulgogi + Clean Green juice = damn, mama

Vladimir

Ramen is not as fat as in other places

Ruby Anaya

I got the spicy chicken ramen . The noodles were over cooked, the chicken was super dry. Wouldn't get it again.

Jacky Becker

Duck ramen is great, but service is horrible. 40+ minutes after my friend got his food, I finally got mine...
