    We went to Wagamama for lunch. We got the Chicken Gyozas, Chilli Chicken Ramen. It was my first time having one. It was delicious! I wanted to get a fresh juice. I always get one when I am there. They are good. But this time I couldn't because the machine was broken. I was disappointed about that. For dessert we had the Mocchi Balls. We had a green tea too. The food is always good. The staff were friendly.

    Unfortunately there is no option to give zero stars. I ordered the vegan katsu dish for delivery. Waited an hour and a half for delivery to then receive CHICKEN katsu curry. I do not eat meat and haven't done for over 10 years. The customer service I received when I called about their error was appalling, the manager wouldn't even come on the phone. I will never be ordering from here again.

    Ambience is good. Some quite yet pricey place in Dublin. But food was delicious! Enjoyed it.

    i have never emotionally recovered from the closure of the cork wagamamas. i just had to come here whilst visiting dublin to see if it could ever fill the wagamama shaped hole in my heart. the ramen i got was amazing. i loved it. the goyzas were perfectly crisp on one side. unfortunately tho.. my brothers phad thai came out 30 minutes after everyone else had already been served their main. then to add insult to injury the poor boy found his noodles sauce-less :(

    Great place to go! The entry is in a weird place, but the space is calm and peaceful. The servers were fast and helpful and the food didn’t take much to arrive. I had chicken ramen & dumplings and both were insanely good. I’ll definitely go back!

    Nice place, super cool interior and great service. Desserts are super yummy, we ordered the bao nut, banana katsu and mochi balls, I have to admit that the mochi balls weren't that nice but the other ones were amazing. The vegetarian gyosa and the sweet potato are nice as well.

    This is one of the best Japanese restaurant I have visited so far in Dublin. Their ramen and donburi are awesome. The ambience is great and staff is very nice. Location is great and perfect for food if you want to have some Japanese food in city center 😋

    The restaurant is in a nice discrete location in a renovated basement with lovely lights and aesthetic put into the building. The staff were nice and got to our table quickly. The restaurant has a nice selection of food and drinks from which you can get and isn’t far off the centre.

    One of the best Japanese restaurants I have tasted. Mix of different flavours. Chicken wings was too good. Nikko curry was yum.

    As I'm writing this a person I am eating with hasn't received their food, and I have finished eating mine 20 minutes ago. Sure food won't come at the same time but do they expect us to eat after ours have gone ice cold, 30 minutes after receiving it? Ridiculous. Food was nothing to write up about either and this just made the experience worse. I ordered the Katsu Chicken Curry, the chicken was cooked well but the curry was quite bland and the rice was dry, part of the salad tasted like it was fresh out the soil. My friend ordered Chilli Squid which was rubbery as it was overcooked. The best part I would say would have to be the service of the waiters and waitresses as they kept active and kept the place (and the toilets) pristine.

    5/5 stars for sure. Wagamama satisfied all my japanese food cravings, and hit the late night spot. As a pure vegetarian, it is difficult to find eggless/vegan japanese food. Wagamama however, has a vegan dish for almost every category of food. I had the vegan itame curry with sticky rice, and the flavours were just banging. They provide the same quality of service as Wagamama in London, which is how I knew about them in the first place. Their Coconut reika ice cream was also DELISH. It was full of desiccated coconut and coconut flakes, and the passion fruit coulis on top beautifully brought the dessert together. Overall, a super pleasant experience and affordable restaurant. I highly recommend.

    Pros: Nice staff + Delicious Yaki Udon + Fair price Cons: The number of prawns in the Yaki Udon were too low; only 3 in one big dish! Another day: Pros: Warm food delivery + Yaki Soba was good but still I prefer their Yaki Udon + Chicken Gyoza was tasty Cons: Nikko Curry was awful + The same issue with Yaki Soba, just a few prawns in the dish!

    Grilled duck donburi worth 5 stars. Chicken wings 4 stars. Yaki udon only 3 stars. They have a open kitchen, which is nice. It might be noisy when they prepare the fruit juice.

    Food is always as good as expected for the price, you wont be ripped off, still pricey for working-class people however, and you'll strictly get no more than what you pay for. The staff are kind & relaxed, very patient & understanding too. The atmosphere of the place is above & beyond. The "just above dim" lighting perfectly compromises between visibility & calmness. Those with physical disabilities may find some challenge in traversing the place (potentially not being able to traverse at all, if there is no lift - unfortunately I didn't make a point to look for one, will update my review when I find out).

    Starters are amazing, recommend trying “BANG BANG CAULIFLOWER”, any “GYOZA” and any “BAO STEAMED BUNS”. This is my second time here will be visiting again

    I have ordered a few dishes out of which these two were the best ones. Really good taste and beautiful ambience.

  • 5/5 Ella 2 years ago on Google
    I would highly recommend this place for food. We had the chicken gyozas, which we finished before I remembered to take a photo of them. The bao buns were absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly and the service was fast. The cocktail was also the best cocktail I've ever had (Japanese Ice Tea). The beef ramen bowl was also great. I would definitely visit this place again if I was in Dublin.

    Me and my friends were having a much needed catch up after months of not seeing each other. One of my friends recommended wagamama as they had been last week and had a lovely experience. Unfortunately we did not have that same experience. 4 stars for atmosphere: The atmosphere when we came in at first was really warm and welcoming. We were seated pretty quickly which was great. We were excited. 3 stars for food: The food was really tasty but unfortunately arrived cold. 1 star for service: The service wasn’t great. The waitress was quite cold. I understand a busy friday night but it definitely dampened the mood. When it came time to pay we felt as though we were kicked out. She told us we’d need to pay soon because they were closing which is fine. So we hurried our food and drink because of this. However as we were leaving the restaurant some tables were still being served food. So this made us feel like unwelcome customers. We spent 133 euro that night.

    Located right by Stephens Green center. Food was tasty but felt super heavy and was difficult to digest. Quality is not like it used to. We had bang bang cauliflower, a salad with Tofu and lemongrass soup with noodles, veggies and tofu.

    Amazing food! The location of the restaurant is beautiful. It is underground and the food was just delicious, cant say anything else about that. Its fresh, lovely made and soo worth it.

    Wagamama located in the heart of dublin city centre opposite the famous gaiety theatre + in walking distance from st stephens’ green luas stop with limited outside seating available our south king street restaurant is where it all began. with a range of delicious cocktails, wine + beer to pair with your wagamama favourites, find in us the perfect pre theatre + post shopping pit stop since first opening our doors in 1998. it has three convenient locations in Dublin (South King Street, Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, Dundrum Town Centre) wagamama serve a delicious range of pan – Asian cuisine including chicken katsu curry and a range of tasty rice, noodle and seafood dishes. you can book a table for groups of 2 or more to a maximum group bookings of 6 + a recommended stay of 90 minutes. Dublin is a great city for those who enjoy the finer things in life. From delicious food to beautiful architecture, there is something for everyone to enjoy. For the foodies, Dublin offers an array of amazing restaurants, ranging from traditional Irish pubs to upscale dining establishments. For the history buffs, Dublin is home to some of the most iconic buildings in Ireland, including Trinity College and St. Patrick's Cathedral. With so much to see and do, you're sure to work up an appetite, so why not top off your day with your favourite food delivered with wagamama. I had diner in wagamama and to be honest it was awesome. Yes we had to wait in a queue for few longer but I think that was worthy. I had tasty ramen, it was up to the mark. The environment and service was also very good but as this is in busy market so most the time it seems busy. We went there to have dumplings but till the time we arrived dumplings and other snacks were not available. So we decided to chose ramen and rice veg bowl. It was too good.

    Amazing vegetarian and vegan options, the best thing is that I don't get a hint of fish oil! It was a really enjoyable experience dining in at Wagamama.

  • 2/5 Mariusz B. 1 year ago on Google
    2 stars only because the food was good. We've ordered food for 4 adults and 3 kids. Kids had to look at adults eating food for over 15 minutes before they got their food served. Then we asked for ice creams for kids. We've asked for the ice cream for kids, waited over 20 minutes and ice creams did not arrive, so we've left. I understand that or was quite busy, but waiting for drinks 10 minutes, for food over 30 minutes and then on top of it for ice creams over 20 minutes is simply not acceptable.

    Really nice food with great portion sizes. I enjoyed the selection on the menu and the dessert was good

  • 1/5 Erik 1 year ago on Google
    Changing my review to one star after the answer from the Restaurant owner that we "unfortunatly" didn't ordered the tasty dishes and should order the next time the dishes with flavour. So thank you to agree that the food was bad and take the food away from your menue what is not tasting good! Original Text: "Unfortunatly not the best food I had in a while, quite plain. Service was nice but a bit too pushy." P.s work on your Marketing/ communication skills!!

    Had the most delicious meal here for my birthday with my fella. The one in Cork closed down so I literally came to Dublin to eat here as it’s my ultimate favourite restaurant!!! It didn’t disappoint, it never does.The staff were so kind and attentive, especially our waiter the handsome gentleman With the glasses. Please try the homemade lemonade it was insanely refreshing and authentic. Thank you Wagamama for a fantastic experience (and Please come back to cork!)

    We bunch of friends went on a dinner at Wagamama and we weren't disappointed with a single dish. Everything was damn delicious, and we decided to visit here once again. The staff was was awesome, food was great. Highly recommended place if you look for a delicious Japanese food.

  • 4/5 iSmile M. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice and calm eating in the heart of Stephen's Green. We were seated outside due to restrictions but it was good. The food is delicious - I ordered the Chicken Gyoza which tasted wonderful and I tasted a friend's Chicken Wings which were beautifully smothered in sauce. The staff were very nice too.
