wagamama birmingham new street — Restaurant in Birmingham

🌱 Wagamama, New Street Check us on Insta Earlier in the week we were invited to experience the new vegan tasting menu at @wagamama_uk on New Street. @wagamama_uk do many vegan options but this is their new menu in support of veganuary. If you love Japanese food or want to try a plant based diet then pop down to @wagamama_uk We tried all the starters, mains and desserts from the new menu and here is our verdict of the mains. First was the vegan suika tuna which is dehydrated watermelon on a bed of rice with guac, radish and dried onions. The watermelon tasted interesting, a little sweet and the texture wasn’t bad either. Not like tuna but very pleasant. Definitely the best dish. Second was the BBQ glazed seitan with rice, carrots, beans and vegan egg which was made from coconut and sriracha. Not sure what Seitan is but it looked like meat and had a hard texture. Probably second best main dish. Third dish was the kare burosu, a soup dish made from veg and tofu with brown rice. It tasted great but the tofu just wasn’t for me as was like biting in to a cube of slimy air. Definitely pop down to @wagamama_uk and give the new vegan menu ago. Coming up next will be the starters and dessert. You are in for a treat with the desserts 😍 . . . . #wagamama #japanesefood #veganuary #veganuary2020 #invite #tuna #watermellon #Birmingham #lovebirmingham #lovebrum #solihull #moseley #lovefood #foodporn #drinks #drinkporn #foodies #foodiesofbrum #whattoeat #eatout #foodlover #vegan #vegetarian #glutanfree #foodstagram #goodfood #instagood #instafood...

The Best Wagamama in every way! (And we have been to a few!)

Best Service Best Meal Best Experience!

We were greeted at the door by a lovely member of staff who showed us to our table. The table had sides between them due to Covid but it also gives you a bit of privacy too so I hope Wagamama keeps them up even after Covid.

We had a server called Romal (orJomal - sorry not sure on spelling!) And he was really nice, always had a smile and making us laugh.

I ordered a Yasai Curry and my Fiancé ordered Shirodashi Ramen and wanted it with Udon Noodles instead of the Noodles it's normally served with ,this was absolutely no problem to them and by doing this it made it the best Wagamama he has ever had. The Yasai Curry was also really nice and traditional tasting. The best part - they came out together and super quick!! (Not like our recent visit to the Nottingham branch!)

We ordered green tea (it's free!) Which was a really nice treat to have.

There were chopsticks on the table as well as cutlery which was great to have an option - especially when it comes to the curry.

It was easy to pay through the QR code.

Toilets were clean

In a great location and would highly recommend. We are 100% going back to...

I’ve visited quite a few times and always had a good experience, the food is usually lovely and the staff are great but for some reason when I came last night that was not the case. First, there were a few things on the menu that I tried to order but they were unavailable. Second, I ordered a cocktail which was supposed to have rum in it but when I couldn’t taste any whatsoever I politely pointed it out to my waitress, she was really lovely and spoke to the bar staff but I could see from my table that they were not happy in the slightest and actually got quite irritated by the fact that I’d said I couldn’t taste the alcohol and the bartender actually marched over to me to tell me she had put the alcohol in. Finally, my food took absolutely ages to come out, my husband got his fairly quickly but I think I was waiting around 20 minutes just for my starter and then my main took about 10 more minutes after that but it wasn’t super packed in the restaurant, there were quite a few empty seats. But when I did finally receive my food, it was delicious as always. My server was Amira and she was super sweet, she couldn’t apologise enough for the few things that went wrong despite none of it...
