5/5 M G. 2 years ago on Google
I
had
a
day
off
with
my
partner
today
and
decided
to
pop
into
wagamama
for
a
quick
bite.
I'm
so
glad
we
did.
Firstly,
the
menu
is
50%
plant
based.
There
is
literally
a
vegan
dish
available
for
every
meat
dish,
and
you
can
really
taste
how
much
work
has
gone
into
making
each
dish
mimic
its
meat
counterpart.
For
starters,
I
got
the
vegan
chilli
'squid'
(lightly
battered
pulled
king
oyster
mushrooms.
shichimi.
sticky
dipping
sauce
with
fresh
chilli+
coriander)
now
one
of
the
things
I
really
miss
since
becoming
vegan
(nearly
three
years
ago)
is
fish
but
this
dish
totally
has
the
same
tough,
chewy
feel
of
squid.
The
batter
is
lovely
and
light
and
no
sign
of
excess
oil,
just
beautifully
crisp.
My
partner
got
the
sticky
vegan
'ribs'
(mushroom
+
soya
protein
‘ribs’.
sweet
+
spicy
sticky
sauce.
sesame
seeds.
spring
onion)
and
again
the
dish
has
the
chewy,
tender
meat
feel
to
it
and
the
marinade
was
delicately
rich,
not
over
powering
at
all
or
sickly.
For
the
main,
I
got
no
duck
donburi
(shredded
seitan
+
shiitake
mushrooms
in
a
cherry
hoisin
sauce.
edamame
beans.
kimchee.
coconut
+
sriracha
vegan
‘egg’
made
in
collaboration
with
gaz
oakley.
cucumber.
spring
onion.
chillies.
coriander.
sesame
seeds.
Brown
rice).
It
is
a
full-on
dish,
and
everything
gels
together
so
well,
just
the
right
portion
of
each,
so
nothing
over
powers
the
other.
Even
the
vegan
egg
was
surprisingly
good
and
very
clever,
just
a
bit
on
the
soft
side,
but
that's
forgiven
as
it
is
made
from
coconut.
My
partner
got
the
teriyaki
vegan
'chicken’
ramen
(seasoned
soya
protein
in
a
spicy
teriyaki
sauce.
udon
noodles.
sweetcorn.
bok
choi.
chilli
sambal
paste.
spring
onion.
chilli.
coriander.
chilli
oil.
vegetable
broth)
the
soya
protein
tasted
rich
but
a
bit
chewy,
almost
like
pork.
My
partner
enjoyed
every
part
of
this
dish
apart
from
the
udon
noodles,
which
there
was
a
lot
of.
For
dessert,
I
got
the
banana
katsu
(banana
in
crispy
panko
breadcrumbs.
miso
caramel
ice
cream.
Toffee
sauce)
absolutely
divine,
you
must
try!
My
partner
had
the
chocolate
orange
cake
(flourless
chocolate
orange
cake.
Miso
caramel
ice
cream)
reluctantly
shared
a
bit
with
me
and
said
he
could
eat
another,
so
that
pretty
speaks
for
itself,
lol.
For
drinks
we
ordered
the
ginger
'no-jito'
really
fresh
and
spicy
and
helped
cleanse
the
pallet
after
each
dish
and
of
course
we
got
the
mandatory
glass
of
water.
The
service
was
ace
and
super
friendly,
with
great
insight
from
the
staff
into
the
different
dishes
and
giving
recommendations
👍🏼
I
asked
if
they
did
cooking
classes,
which
unfortunately
they
don't,
but
it
was
recommended
I
have
a
look
on
YouTube
and
search
wagamama
Steve,
and
guess
what...that's
exactly
what
I'm
going
to
do
.
