All wagamama UK locations available on OpenTable

The United Kingdom has one of the most exciting and culturally diverse food scenes in the world. From the cosmopolitan streets of London and Manchester to the historic quaysides of Cardiff and the elegant crescents of Bath, British diners have spent decades embracing bold, internationally influenced cooking — and pan-Asian dining sits right at the heart of that appetite. Leading the charge for over 30 years, wagamama has built a reputation as one of the best Asian restaurant groups in the UK, combining Japanese ramen-bar inspiration with pan-Asian flavours drawn from across the continent. Founded in London in 1992, the group became synonymous with fresh, flavour-forward cooking at accessible price points — steaming bowls of ramen, chicken katsu curry that has won over millions, and gyoza that regulars order by heart. With more than 160 UK locations bookable on OpenTable, the chain spans seaside towns, city centres, retail parks, and riverside waterways.  Explore the best affordable restaurants in the UK, book on OpenTable, and earn loyalty points for every single reservation.
