Wagamama virgin - what do you recommend?

[BracedlnEndIessJanuary]

2 meat eaters
1 vegetarian
2 kiddies, one will probably have ramen off kiddies menu (portion size?)
Have never been before. Is a birthday treat.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance

Katsu chicken. It's breaded chicken (a bit like m&s) with a delicious mild curry sauce, served with white rice. My kids love it.

Totally chicken katsu curry - best thing ever.

Pizza Express!

Another vote for katsu! It also comes in yasai (vegetable), seitan and tofu so the vegetarian can try it too.

If they don't like curry sauce you can adame sauce on the side of the katsu curry .

Veggie katsu. Think it’s breaded aubergine and/or sweet potato in a delicious sauce. So yummy!

Bao buns and gyoza. My kids love both.

The bang bang cauliflower is lovely if you like things spicy

Ebi katsu.

Yaki soba noodles.

Try the gyoza deep fried, I quite like the duck one.

Wok Fried greens. My favourite side, very very garlicy.

Whatever main you decide on also have the greens on the side - pak choi and broccoli cooked in a shitload of garlic. So tasty!

Thanks. It is blooming expensive so do not want empty plates at the end or rumbling bellies. DS has requested it (on spectrum) as only thing he wants for his birthday so am hoping it pans out. I had katsu chicken rice bowl in tesco cafe once! Hope it is nicer than that (no disrespect to any tesco employees on MN. It is just that I was not very full and it was not that flavoursome).

Nothing. It's terrible!

Ah the veg itame is good too and if the vegetarian can take spice then firecracker curry (tofu!). Can't go wrong with Wagamama for vegetarians

Yaki soba chicken and prawn is amazing! Also, remember to order Japanese pickles as a side.

The vegetarian Yaki soba is great too.

Chilli squid as a side.

Katsu curry is good - but it’s chicken and rice, so not very exciting.

That explains why it's so popular then.

I love the beef brisket ramen 😋

If any of you are emergency services/NHS they are doing a Blue Light discount now.

Vegan ribs. ALL my meat eating friends love them. They are the best

Aw platinum For reasons stated above (birthday boy ASC) I have promised him ramen. Anywhere in Chester that does ramen, then, please recommend. I could always do click and collect at Wagamama, which might be better for him anyway but did not want it to go cold and we are on holiday there.

Not emergency services, sadly. They deserve any discount they get, mind.
Am in education. Any discount for dealing with teens gratefully accepted

Yaki soba noodles and chicken gyoza is my go to order... ooooo I could eat that right now!

Ginger chicken udon is so good for the meat eater. I usually go for the vegetarian ramen as don't eat much meat. I find Katsu curry a bit boring but its obviously a popular one. There's a good kids menu, my two just like the chicken and noodles with sweetcorn and cucumber. And the green tea is free so always worth getting.

Chicken teriyaki donburi
No duck donburi
Bang bang cauliflower
Green tea
Peach iced tea

My DC liked most of the sides; edamame/ squid/gyoza etc
Chicken ramen/yaki udon or Katsu curry( the latter isn't my favourite but family members like it).
