Wagamama

First off, this is an international chain restaurant.

With that said, I have not found many of the items here at a reasonable price in the states; many others can't be found at any decent quality nearby except for here!

My big recommendation is the gyoza to start, and the Chicken Katsu Curry for the meal. The curry is very similar to the Japanese curry served in Japan, most notably CoCo Ichiban (if you're familiar with Japanese chains), except a little less hot.

Yasai yakisoba is my girlfriend's favorite, it's a vegetarian soba noodle dish and it's quite good even if you're an omnivore like myself.

One awesome point is that the rice is sticky, which lacks at many Japanese and Asian restaurants. I immediately can't respect a Japanese place that can't make a decent sticky white rice.

The seasonal Japanese pickles are great and remind me of my time living in Japan. The ramen is also incredibly flavorful and authentic.

The service is a bit odd and contemporary, but you'll get used to it quickly. Seating is also interesting as you may be sharing a bench with a stranger or two.

The fruit juice concoctions are very good and worth a try.

Join their emailing list and get coupons online before you go. Try something wild, you'll be pleasantly surprised!

I had lived at Wagamama when I lived in London. I was thrilled when they opened their first US restaurant in Boston! Fresh, healthy noodle & rice dishes. The soups are incredible! I always have the chicken chilli men. My son has an egg & peanut allergy and the staff was incredibly accommodating.

I LOVE Wagamama! It's so fresh, healthy and it's one of the rare places that you actually feel good after dining at this restaurant! The soups are amazing and the portions are large. Take out is always just as fresh and the location at the Prudential Center is quite convenient. Highly recommended!!

This is a restaurant that originated in London and is making its way around the world. Thankfully it came to the US!!! It is a fun time, good food reasonably priced. Try the chicken katsu curry, my favorite thing on the menu!
