    Had a lovely afternoon in Printworks Wagamamas. The restaurant is down a steep set of stairs, leading to a cute and compact restaurant. There is a lift to the lower floors as well. Space is set out nicely, with low lighting and a relaxed vibe. Were greeted very quickly by a lovely hostess who showed us to a nice booth table. Our server came over pretty quick and went through the menu with us. I went for the Chilli chicken ramen and my friend had the normal chicken ramen. Food came quickly and was presented well. Loved the spicy broth and veg but my chicken was a little dry. Drinks were great, I had their chilli margarita and a iced coffee. Both super delicious and I was very happy! Staff very cool and friendly.

    Food is delicious and so are the smoothies, staff really friendly and paciente, went for a late sunday dinner with husband, we didn't get rushed at all by staff, everything 5 stars, great decor and will for sure be coming back many more times. Not as expensive as other places, good value for money paid. Pity other restaurants don't treat you with this kindness.

    Can't go wrong with a vegan katsu curry, and their vegan squid was surprisingly lovely and had a good texture! The vegan dessert menu is looking great too, will definitely need to give it a try sometime. Bit of a wait even though it wasn't busy, but always worth it.

    Wagamama Manchester Printworks sets the bar for Asian cuisine throughout the area and possibly across the UK. The food is outstanding with an open view kitchen area and a really well laid out dining area for patrons. The fresh produce in all meals is outstanding and the food is good value for money. We were assisted by Jonathan "Johny" serving us who is not only polite, pleasant and courteous, he was also knowledgeable about all the dishes, very quick to assist, accommodating, helpful and a real brand ambassador for Wagamama - great job Johny. Everything was superb and we will definitely come back. Personal rating 5 stars.

    Been coming here since it first opened, it's a great place for a variety of Japanese food, honestly the vegan/vegetarian sweet potato katsu is PHENOMENAL! I'm not even vegetarian and it's so good, plus the rest of the food is on point. I took a group of my friends and we ordered a great variety, I've no complaints really!

    Had to seek out staff for order, sweet menus etc. Food OK but my soba noodles were cold before i was 1/4 of way through them. Had better at other branches, so probably a day/staff combination of issues rather than fundamentally broken

    What can I say. We travelled from Greece to Manchester for this place!! Big shout out to Ashley, who waited on us both times. Amazing food and even better service. Thanks for the bang bang cauliflower.

    First time visiting Wagamama. We ordered crispy mushroom wings and soya ribs for starters. Both dishes were exceptional. Mains were vegetable gyōza ramen and vegan chicken with coconut and lemongrass. We ended up sharing as we loved both. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice. We will definitely be returning.

    My partner and I, who both have social anxiety, called ahead and were accommodated perfectly. We were seated in a quiet area and our server, Vicky, was so kind and respectful of our needs. As well as this, the food was perfect, and affordable, too. My partner and I ate a two course meal and the bill came out as only £35. It was an all around wonderful experience and we will definitely be dining here again! Thank you!

    We were at the restaurant celebrating my husband's birthday and as always, everything was excellent! Impeccable service!

    Had a brilliant time at wagamamas printworks yesterday, all the staff was lovely and we had a young lady called Sephora that tended to all of our needs and even went the extra mile to get a cheesecake for my friends birthday free of charge. We will definitely be coming again. Food was beautiful if not a little pricey but for the money the experience is top notch thank you to all of the team

  • 5/5 Rick C. 5 months ago on Google
    Joe looked after us and was super friendly and helpful throughout our meal. He really went out of his way to help me with my being picky and asking for something which was on the old menu. The food was nice and quick and tasted amazing (as always) Wagamama in at the printworks we find to always be consistently great whether it be take away or eat in! Thanks again Joe & Team! - Rick

    Lovely food. Special shout out to our waitress Emily, who managed to turn an order mix up into a positive experience with her professionalism and friendly manner. A very enjoyable visit!

    I have loved Wagamama for many years, at least 20, and so happy they’ve ventured out of London. Myself and a colleague ate here after arriving in Manchester the night before. I ate a dish I’ve never tried before and wasn’t disappointed. The service was good and all dietary needs catered for.

  • 5/5 Chris E. 1 year ago on Google
    It was amazing. We turned up one hour before closing (our son had been ice skating across the street) and it was no problem. The food was fantastic. My main dish was a little late arriving, but the staff kept checking on it, and I didn't have to mention it once. And it was worth the wait: smoked mackerel was recommended and did not disappoint. And the staff were brilliant. They made us feel very welcome, really friendly, and did a great job. If only every restaurant could be this good.

    Absolutely stunning as always. Never disappointed. Great selection of vegan options, easy menu, no messing. Helpful staff and quick service. 10/10

  • 5/5 Mel E. 1 year ago on Google
    The meal started off badly as our (couldn’t-be-bothered) waitress took some of our order wrong, she then left her shift. Our new waitress Mo then asked if everything was ok..!! We explained what was wrong and she went above and beyond to ensure we got what we had ordered! I have to say that this lady was adorably helpful and sweet. AND as it was my birthday meal gave me dessert on the house! Mo, if you’re reading this then show your boss!! You deserve a raise for your lovely personality, fab attitude, kindness and willing to do whatever you could to rectify our problems! We need more people like Mo in the world!

  • 1/5 Charlotte A. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered through Deliveroo and what arrived was utterly disappointing. The ‘ramen’ had no soup and no flavor. The ‘pad Thai’ was flavorless with 2 bits of tofu. The portion sizes were half of what they should’ve been. Sad because I usually love wagamama and order from there a lot, I will no longer eat out or get food from this restaurant as it was definitely the worst takeout I’ve ever had. Absolute waste of my money!!

  • 4/5 Les Quatre F. 2 years ago on Google
    This was our first experience at Wagamamas, and its first few days of opening after the nationwide lockdown. Dining was alfresco only. Booking wasn’t required so we waited for a table. In less than 5 minutes we were seated. Friendly and helpful staff were on hand. The drinks and food menu was extensive. A mix up in our order resulted in us waiting over 40 minutes for our main. The staff were apologetic. Although disappointed by the wait, the duty manager Francis was extremely attentive, professional and understanding. He resolved the situation effectively and efficiently. Sometimes restaurants get it wrong but when handled in this way, it demonstrates the staff have Customer Satisfaction at the core of their values. Well Done Francis and staff. Excellent Covid protocols in place to protect both Customer and Staff.

    Staff and food are so nice good value for money

  • 4/5 Kate H. 2 years ago on Google
    This used to be a go-to for me but not been in a while. The food was tasty although I used to love the Wagamama ramen and they no longer do it. It is somewhere you go for a quick bite as its not comfy or inviting so for this kind of setting the food is expensive. We had a new member of staff who didn't come back to ask if we were OK and we paid on the app as requested so it is quite clinical. Probably won't come again therefore, but the food was tasty.

  • 4/5 Gareth T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and excellent service. We were well taken care of by Esme today. The food is very tasty. The only downside was the lengthy wait queuing to get in. Worth the wait though. I'll go again.

  • 3/5 Rhodia E. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was okay, didn’t have much flavour like they described when we asked the waiters what they recommend to order. We had to season our food quite heavily for it to have some flavour. The chilli squid was good but the overall service could have been better since we had to wait a while before we could even order.

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
