Very nice as usual

This is my safe place. When there aren't any other veggie options around, Wagamama is a delicious place with lots of vegetarian/vegan plates.

Pros: Food, Service , Ambient

Great for vegans

Delicious food cooked here every time. I always opt for the mushroom bao buns and the firecracker Tofu dish.

Asian Favourite

Not so many Vegan Restaurant at York, I found Wakamama is promising. Must try curry plant based meat with rice and Mushroom Skewer.

Pros: Delicious, Lots of choice, Quality ingredient

Wowzers🤩

The most delicious ramen, never disappoints! The katsu bannana desert is something else and the staff are so friendly

A favourite!

Always loved Wagamama. They’ve made an effort to make nearly half of their menu vegan and vegetarian.
Only problem is they keep changing the vegan options just when you get to liking something. Bring back the vegan chilli squid!

I already know what I’m ordering next time

This was only my second visit to Waganama. I came because I had heard that they had a good vegan range on the menu - and it’s true!

Ok, it’s a chain organisation so it’s going to be a different experience from the little, local specialist but it has its place - obviously, as it is so successful

First impressions are good - friendly staff welcome you and the place is clean. A bonus is that the kitchen is open.

The menus have lots of different options and I was rather spoilt for choice. In the end I had the spicy vegan short ‘rib’ ramen which was full of flavour and had a gentle, spicy warmth. My wife had no-duck Donburi - she had it on our first visit and enjoyed it so much she had it again, and now I already know what I’m ordering next time.

The food came quickly and was excellent! Some chain restaurants are really nothing special and I actively avoid them but Wagamama seem to have got it right and I’m looking forward to my next visit

A bonus - how wonderful to hear so many different accents among the staff. Wonderfully cosmopolitan

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Quick service , Prices reasonable

Varied vegan menu of great food

They have a dedicated vegan menu and take allergies very seriously, allocating a manager to take your order and cleaning kitchen things before they make it.

We went recently with a serious hunger on. My wife had the no duck donburi, which was healthy and tasty, although the shirt grain brown rice was a challenge to eat with chopsticks! I had the tofu firecracker, which was hella spicy 🔥 but very tasty as well!

For sides, we had the vegan 'squid' (crispy and delicious), vegan ribs (tasty and chewy) and the vegan gyoza (always good). It was a lot of food, but we are it all cos we were so starving!

Dessert was a chocolate orange cake for me and a guava and passion fruit sorbet for my wife. All in all, an incredible dinner!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great staff, Excellent food

Delicious, Vegan menu.

I had the Vegan Chilli squid, and also a BBQ dish of Seitan. Wagamama have a separate, and very extensive Vegan Menu, including deserts.

One of my favourite places to eat

Wagamamas is very vegan inclusive and has a whole separate vegan menu. I usually get the vegan ramen, edamame beans and wok fried greens, but I have also tried the vegan boa buns and the gyoza, all of which are delicious. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever had bad food here - I’d give this 5* if the app would allow me to!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pros: Lots of delicious vegan options , One of the best vegan cakes I’ve ever tasted , Inclusive and friendly staff

Cons: Serves meat, fish and eggs

Interesting vegan menu

Good sign when waitress greets you at door with question Do you need Vegan menu. Anywhere that has whole menu just for us is exciting. I normally have the steam katsu curry but decided to try the new Avant Garden as you get a vegan egg. It was mixture of seitan and assorted veg on bed of rice and it was delicious. Good big portion as well. I also had the buns with mushroom filling which were really good. I had the positive juice which was amazing. Overall great selection for us.

Pros: Good choice of food, Separate vegan menu

Vegatsu and gyoza

The vegan gyoza is ok but does have a weird flavour. But the Vegatsu is amazing, so glad one of favourite places offers this now. Would highly recommend

Pros: Good selection of options , Always good potions

Cons: Expensive
