This place is perfect—beyond excellent! The service was great; our waiter, Zack, was super nice and always attentive. We tried the sake sampler, which was wonderful, and the ramen was incredible (they even had a duck version!).
The fried calamari was the best I’ve ever had. The head chef actually came to our table and recommended a couple of dishes, which made for a great experience. I had the chicken curry and loved every bite—it truly warmed my soul!
I recommend Wagamama 100%

We went by there for a quick bite and had two starters- Bang Bang Cauliflower and the Edamame. They were both absolutely fantastic and flavorful. Their Yuzu cocktail was also AMAZING. Banging 12/10
Only giving it a 4 because we were served coke (pretty flat) in a chipped glass and the bathroom was not well maintained. The ambience is so beautiful but going into the bathroom felt weird because it felt unclean - the toilet paper rolls were not filled and were on the floor, the soap dispenser was empty. Also, we hoped they had more than one veggie option per section.

The food was amazing here. Kudos to the chef. Waiters were very friendly and patient too. Wish this place the best. Will definitely visit whenever I’m in this side of NY.

While on my way to one of my favorite chocolate shops I wasn’t sure what to have for lunch on Saturday. So I decided to try Wagamamma. My uncertainty about what to have for lunch didn’t end with which restaurant to choose but also what to eat. I ended up ordering 3 starters. I went with the chili hoisin duck bao which was delicious. Their version of calamari, a chili squid which was interesting but I don’t think I’ll try again. And Tokyo fries which was also interesting but I don’t think I’ll be trying again. My sister’s birthday was on Monday so naturally on Tuesday I ran to Macys (Herald Square) to get her a little something & decided to try Wagamamma once again since I felt or was cold enough to have ramen. I sat at the bar this time & ordered the Korean fried chicken bao for my appetizer & the chicken gyoza ramen for my main. Oddly enough my main was served before my appetizer. The ramen was pretty good however I wasn’t a big fan of the Korean fried chicken. Since there was hardly any chicken involved. It’s a nice restaurant with polite staff however I don’t see myself going back anytime soon.

The food is not always prepared and
served properly. Hot food is not hot or even warm. The Avant Gard'n is supposed to be glazed seitan but was swimming in spicy BBQ sauce, that was definitely not 1/3 as indicated on the menu. That was a 2 plus!
Alicia the manager said we could substitute teriyaki seitan. It tasted like a smoky Asian BBQ and was not sauce logged. The amount of rice compared to the small, thin sliced seitan was ridiculous. The large bowl was
all rice and not much protein
The Bang Bang cauliflower was enjoyable.
It had a light breading but the kitchen completely forget the shredded fresh ginger. Definitely have the super spicy Bang Bang sauce on the side! The sticky rice was not sticky at all, boring and bland. At best it was overcooked white rice.
The Vegetable Curry was a light, thick
Japanese style curry and I changed out the vegetables to Snap Peas and Mushrooms. The mushrooms are cooked in soy sauce
and tastes horrible. Ask for no soy sauce and they are amazing. The snap peas were interestingly sliced thin on an angle and julienned. The side salad was a delicious spring mix with a citrus dressing
We have been to this restaurant a few times and service consistently falls short. The staff is clearly inexperienced and untrained. The waiter Henry has a seemingly pleasant demeanor but there was a lot of unnecessary confusion!
First, he wiped down only half the table and didn't dry it, leaving the table wet and making the paper placements soggy. That was strange. Then once we received our order, did not check back to the table. Once dried the wood table was sticky which seems to indicate that it was wiped with water and not cleaned.
He said we could have the French fries instead of vegetables, that came with the Avant Gard'n. This was discussed a few times but then when the bill came out,
he charged us. I had to point out out
our agreement and then he complained about our special order.
The dining room is rather large. Seating, temperature and atmosphere were comfortable with a moderate level of noise. Cocktails and juices are available. Parking is difficult but we saw 3 parking garages when we drove around the block.
