about wagamama

our story

'kaizen’, meaning ‘good change’ is the philosophy that sits right at our heart. it shapes every dish we create, and pushes us to find better ways in all that we do. we’re restless spirits. forever creating and making things better

we’ve been practising kaizen since 1992, when we opened our first doors in london’s bloomsbury. inspired by fast-paced, japanese ramen bars and a celebration of asian food, wagamama burst into life. we set out to create a unique way of eating. bringing the fresh, nourishing, flavours of asia to all

that was over 30 years ago now. three whole decades to sharpen skills and refine recipes. to play with spices and discover tastes in our noodle lab. we continue to get better with every day

our food

our recipes are created to make you feel rejuvenated + satisfied. a base of noodles or rice to give you energy. quality protein + good fats to sustain you. an abundance of fresh crunchy vegetables to nourish you + finally, spices, sauces + steaming broths to ignite your tastebuds. there are desserts, fresh juices, hot drinks, wine, sake and expertly crafted asian beers too. our simple balanced soul food is made freshly everyday in our open kitchens

in the name of kaizen, our standards are high. every bowl and plate that we fill is served as soon as it’s ready. the colours and aromas, flavours and spices are always at their best when they touch your table
