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 25 years ago now. two whole decades to sharpen skills and refine recipes. to play with spices and discover tastes. we continue to get better with every day

our food

a little ginger to warm you up. chillis that kick. noodles to nourish the body and soul. our asian inspired menu has been created to soothe, nourish, sustain and inspire. pick from all kinds of rice and noodle dishes, alongside fresh salads and shareable sides. there are desserts, fresh juices, hot drinks, wine, sake and expertly crafted asian beers too

in the name of kaizen, our standards are high. our ingredients are cooked fresh, served fresh. every bowl and plate that we fill with them 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

a warming bowl of bold ramen. teppan griddled to perfection. or if you would rather rice, you’re in luck - our menu features many japanese favourites. fresh, authentic menus that are updated seasonally. wagamama is a staple of modern asian cuisine
