Attentive staff, great atmosphere, lovely food... cannot really fault it.
There are aspects which I suppose could put people off, for example (as explained on the menu), "as we want to ensure the freshness of your food, some dishes may arrive before others... the aim is, don't wait, just tuck in and share... enjoy the Wagamama experience."
That said, however... this really is part of the experience, and in no way is it a case of being rushed in and rushed out, as I've read elsewhere online. Plus, you rarely have to wait more than a few seconds to be seated, and ordering is dead easy as everything is numbered on the menu. The drinks menu is a little limited, I found, but overall there really isn't a bad thing which can be said about the place. The prices may seem a little steep on first glances, but the portions are huge and the food really is delicious.
Last time we visited, our server had trouble totting up our bill as a few things had been jotted down wrong, which they acknowledged and knocked a few quid off... plus we spotted a couple of famous faces amongst the diners.
Oh, and one last thing... if you struggle with the chopsticks, do not be afraid to ask for a fork!

Hey!
I've been to the Wagamama only once, but I'll definetly go there again. Even my parents liked the atmosphere-it's stylish and looks a little bit like a university refectory- but that's perfect. The guests don't spend to much time to sit around after there meal-that seems to be part of the concept which is great as there can be a long queue. We had about 20 people standing in front of us it we only waited 5 minutes.
The service is quick- food is served when it's ready and it comes immediately- so one might have to wait longer than the others, but it's fresh.
I had Ramen noodles with chicken and coriander- it' was just delicious!! The noodles were good, the chicken was crispy and the coriander was fresh. Sorry- I can't remember the price for it. But as a student you get a discount on the bill (only food i guess) before 7 pm. It's worth it!!
I'm going to buy a t-shirt there aswell one day!
Go there and try- you'll love it if you like chinese, thai or indian food.
Enjoy!

This is my favourite place to go in Manchester for a quick bite to eat when I'm absolutely 'hank marvin'. The menu has a great selection of noodle dishes, ramon soups and some excellent beers. The restaurant decor is ultra-cool but also relaxed and informal. The staff are always extremely quick and friendly. I liked it so much I almost bought a t-shirt!

Seems to be the place to be in Manchester, like the concept and the food and will go back, so there you go!
