Wagamama

They forgot about us and once asked served us half cold food. Had no flavour and was expensive. Not going back.

I like the quick and easy nature of Wagamama and the communial dining. My friend and I only had an hour before a movie but we were in, fed and out in this time. We ordered Edamame and then a noodle dish each. My friend didn’t like his too much as it had a fair bit of onion that he didn’t eat but my Pad Thai was really yummy. A little bit stingy on the prawns and chicken but tasty. At $ 50 with a none alcoholic drink you expect a bit more meat. I think it can be hit and miss here but as there is not a lot to choose from in Sylvia Park — beggars can’t be choosers!

The problem with going to Sylvia Park after work is that you are usually starving and so you think that maybe Wagamama will not be so bad this time. Unfortunately this is not case. The edamame was so bland, could not taste the garlic or chilli. The chilli calamari was not so bad, and the dip was crisp and fresh. The chicken tama rice was awful. I just gave up trying to eat it. Definitely the worst meal that I have had in Wagamama. I keep saying we need to remove this place from places to eat and it is now officially off the list. The cost of the meals is outrageous, especially when it is basically fast food. Nearly all the mains are $ 20

Once a year I get bored with the other choices at Sylvia Park. We get amnesia and think Wagamama is good idea. We have an Entertainment voucher, why not? Bland, and even with the discount, overpriced in comparison to the plentiful cheap and cheerful authentic places you can find all over town. I don’t know how this place is still open. In it’s heyday, the décor was funky, but 10 years on it just feels like eating at a picnic table. Meh. Until next year Wagamama, when we meet again.

Food is good. Nothing particularly amazing but good quality ingredients & a Western take on Japanese food. Staff was pretty slow and too occupied with closing down they forgot our dessert. Priced a couple dollars more than other similar restaurants, however décor is nice and very modern.

Gosh I want to be kinder but just too many issues with the food to give more than three stars. If I can do noodles better than you, you need to up your game. Atmosphere and décor are good and even with eftpos broken they did okay.

After hearing about Wagamama for years I finally went to check it out and I must say that I wasn’t disappointed at all! The staff were friendly and attentive and explained the menu options clearly when asked. We ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry and Chicken Teriyaki on rice and they were both delicious and really well-​presented! We also ordered the Iced Lemon Green Tea and it was amazing. tasted really fresh and light. I’d definitely recommend it for when the weather gets a lot warmer. Overall, I was really pleased with the food and experience. It’s a bit pricey but the quality of the food made up for it.

Been here a few times. It’s not cheap but a good quality feed. The chicken Katsu is great for the not-​so-​adventurous in-​laws and the noodle soups are very good!
Great spot for a bite before heading to the movies.

Usually we go to the Wagamama in Newmarket and we really enjoy it, but the other day my boyfriend and I were going to see a movie at Sylvia Park so we thought we would have dinner here beforehand. When we walked in we were seated almost immediately which was a great start but sadly it all when downhill from there. We ordered our meals, for mine I made sure to specifically ask for rice noodles as they are gluten free. We sat there for what felt like forever, it took over 25 mins for two meals to arrive and they were only soups. Mine was placed in front of me and they weren’t rice noodles… great. I told the waitress and she rather rudely sighed and took the bowl away from me without saying a word. When my meal came back 15 mins later my boyfriend had already finished his because it had been so long. My meal wasn’t warm and they hadn’t made it fresh, all they had done was pull out the old noodles and put some rice ones in, I know this because the old noodles were still all at the bottom. I was so hungry by this stage and we were late for our movie so I just ate it but when we went to pay they tried to charge me $ 2.50 extra for the rice noodles!!! I disputed this and they let me off but the whole experience had put me in a bad mood, I won’t be going back to this location that’s for sure.

I’m not a particularly huge fan of Wagamama. Maybe it’s just me being fussy, but I feel that the meals here aren’t quite up to the standard that I was expecting. There doesn’t seem to be anything special about this place that makes it stand out. The meals are much too expensive for the small portions that you get, and not particularly great tasting. I admit that I haven’t tried many of the dishes here, but I still feel that the food lacks the taste that it promises. Bland is probably the best description. The restaurant itself if nice, and has heaps of seating available. The service that I’ve experienced here has been fine, no complaints there.

I’ve always been hesitant every time my partner suggests we go to Wagamama, mainly because I’m pretty picky when it comes Asian-​inspired food. Usually, once I’ve tried something I like, I stick to that to avoid utter disappointment and this is precisely the case with Wagamama.
The miso soup at Wagamama tastes so, so good, they put in a bit of spring onion and wakame (edible seaweed) and altogether its delicious. I do wish that they’d give you a bit more for what you pay, but as they say, quality over quantity. The miso is one of my staples here as well as the chicken katsu curry, where the chicken is coated in breadcrumbs and then deep-​fried; don’t think I need to say more about that one, but its also a goodie! Never disappoints.
Wagamama doesn’t take reservations but there’s a lot of seating inside (and a few tables outside), so chances are you’ll be seated as soon as you get there. If you enjoy Asian-​inspired cuisine, Wagamama could be an ideal place for your next meal out.
