wagamama (Old Town)

• I came here on Friday after work so was 'rush hour' for diners so to speak
• The girl who was looking after our table was absolutely lovely and explained the menu very slowly
• The dishes were really good having had Pad Thai in Thailand only fairly recently
• I didn't think it was as authentic as it could have been but it was still very good
• The most annoying thing is the wait for a table but guess the whole being able to rock up without a reservation does add to the charm
• Managed to have a good dinner which felt I rushed even though we were probably in and out in under an hour
• Not only is it affordable especially if you are a student but its also has a eye filling menu
• The service is super quick
• Wagamama's is a pretty easy option
• It doesn't take long for food to arrive and the quality is fairly consistent
• Our squid was a little on the chewy side and my firecracker chicken was lacking in sauce
• It was full on flavour though with a dark smokey chilli kick
• My dining partners dish was delicate and creamy but lacking any punch
• S each time I walked past but my resolve stayed until it was time to experience the Winter menu or otherwise known as the UK specials
• 30 the queue was almost out of the door
• S an eating area with tables for four rather than the long benches we&rsquo
• Ve got children with you though but I rather hankered after sitting at the long tables
• They taste great and are so refreshing
• Chillies and peppers in a fiery sweet and hot sauce with shichimi (hot pepper)
• Had the lemongrass and mint chicken soba which was equally delicious
• I wondered whether they were explaining how the dishes come when they&rsquo
• I expected a very similar menu and level of service considering that the seating was very similar to the former branch
• This branch is comparatively professional
• The tables and seats were set up as soon as we entered
• The menus were handed to us and we were first guided to a rack to hang our coats after being assigned a waiter
• Starters we ordered sake and fried squid which was cooked to absolute perfection and sprinkled with delicious spices
• The quantity was just enough for one person but not if you're agonizingly hungry like some of us always pretty much are
• I went with the traditional Yaki Soba which was quite a lot honestly and I some how finished the entire thing but I'm pretty sure 2 people could do very well with sharing it
• The last main course was the Wagamama Ramen which again I believe is enough for 2 and was delicious
• What was most astonishing for me was the cheesecake
• We ordered alongside chocolate fudge cake (I was really excited about this one)
• This was white chocolate cheesecake with caramelized ginger and it's like nothing I've had before
• I'm not a fan of cheesecake but this particular one with all of it's flavours drove me crazy
• The fudge cake was delicious as well but that cheesecake stole the show
• This branch and the food was an absolute delight
• Two of the meals came out at similar times whilst the third was a good 5 mins later
• The gyozas to start are always a winner
• One of my goals was to get to Wagas as often as I could on my trip to the UK
• Superbly flavoured with herbs and spices
• Whenever I have dined with them be it lunch or dinner
• They have recently launched their new separate vegan and vegetarian menus along with their new Jinzu Fever Gin and Tonic
• We went along to indulge in their new and old menus and see what was new on the vegan
• I was happy with the food and service
• The waitress was very friendly
• We came away with a memorable culinary experience
• The portions were served as large meals in a bowl
• I met a women named Deima she was very kind and friendly
• I kept asking her so many questions she patiently answered with a sweet smile
