wagamama basildon

I. Love. Wagamama. The best restaurant for vegan options that are actually nice and not all "beans". Bore me later with your lentils and beanie burgers... This stuff right here, this is what we want. The vegan crispy squid is better than the real squid, the portions are generous and the atmosphere and attitude from the staff is like nothing else. One of my favourite hot spots!

Pretty good experience. The food was good. Service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was nice. Prices are reasonable. Facilities were clean. Access was easy for everyone. Overall a good experience and recommend a visit

Our waiter holly was amazing!!! so kind and sweet! food was so good and came out so fast! And also shout out to the guy who lit up our cupcake!!

Alright hear me now, my friend and I decided to go Wagamamas. As it was my first experience I wasn’t sure what to expect it has been hyped up to me for years but I just never managed to visit it. We had an amazing server called Alfie who gave probably one of the best customer experiences I have ever had, he was patient when it came to me choosing dishes especially with their massive menu and with the help of my friend I was able to pick the dishes I wanted to try, he took care of us throughout this experience . I got two sides ; chilli squid and the pulled pork gyozas and for the main I had to try their best known staple the chicken katsu curry. Chilli squid The squid was coated in a light but crispy batter, the batter is self didn’t have much flavour and the squid was kinda a gummy texture but not chewy. It came with this lovely chilli sauce with brought the flavour it was necessarily spicy which is what I expected when it said chilli squid it was more of a sweet chilli sauce but not sticky like a traditional sweet chilli sauce but flavoursome nonetheless, they also gave a lot of squid that I couldn’t even finished and they stayed warm for quite sometime which is good. 6.2/10 Chicken katsu curry With the amount of choice that was there I was scrambled in what to choice so I went with the safest and recommended option to see what the hype was. The rice was soft, fluffy and perfectly moulded into this picturesque beauty that I almost didn’t want to ruin but I was intrigued to see how it tasted. The chicken was crispy and well cooked it wasn’t really season but I believe that it is relying on the curry for its flavour in this dish which was interesting. The flavour of the curry was somewhat temporary and lacked a rich depth that I was looking and I was expecting a wealth of flavour to inflict my taste buds but the salad that came with it eaten with it, that salad dressing definitely surprised my with flavour that added the extra oomph that was needed so as a whole it was a decent dish but it didn’t live up to the hype. 6.4/10 Pulled pork gyoza 🥟 These panfried and steamed gyoza were like light pockets of tender pulled pork which worked quite well with the tipping sauce. I like that it is pan fried so that it isn’t too soft but soft enough that it can melt into your mouth it was enjoyable with the dipping sauce but by itself after a couple got a bit tiring which is why I was happy there wasn’t too much of it. 6/10 Overall rating will be a 7.5/10 because the customer service was fantastic but I will definitely be try different dishes the next time I come.

Food was very tasty at first . I wanted to try the soysauce by the side of the table, I don't know why I did that it was way too salty and ruined all the dishes 😔 but we ate it anyways.I went with my family. Food was great 👍 except the disgusting soysauce. so please don't try that sauce unless the management decide to do something about it in future. It's a nice place too with a great customer service.
