wagamama, nomad, new york

Management rocks! I forget the GM's name but he's awesome.<br><br>Service sometimes varies. There's been some amazing servers who are attentive and others who are less so.<br><br>Food is solid, but not the main draw. The drinks are stellar! I do wish they were more consistent with quality, but who can argue with a $10 marg in this city. My friend is a big fan of their dirty martini and mentioned they've failed to give her the blue cheese stuffed olives and make the drink truly "dirty." Small detail, but if it impacts her assessment of the restaurant, I think it's worth mentioning.<br><br>Overall solid meet-up spot for friends, co-workers, alike. Curious to try other locations around the city.

The food was amazing here. Kudos to the chef. Waiters were very friendly and patient too. Wish this place the best. Will definitely visit whenever I’m in this side of NY.

Honestly found the food here pretty mid. After walking by it for years, I finally decided to try it only to have the most blandest duck ramen ever. I was surprised that was their signature dish as it did nothing for me. Was it bad? Not necessarily but i could have paid 5 dollars for a bag of chips and gotten the same feeling of fullness instead of the $25 duck ramen.<br><br>Place looks really cool though so props to the interior designer + staff was nice and attentive.

I recently dined at Wagamama in NoMad and had a great experience!<br><br>Food: The food was delicious and flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the ramen; it was hearty and satisfying. The presentation was appealing, with fresh ingredients.<br><br>Service: The service was friendly and efficient, though there were a few moments when we had to wait longer than expected for our drinks. Overall, the staff was attentive and helpful.<br><br>Atmosphere: The atmosphere is vibrant and modern, making it a great spot for a meal with friends or a casual date. The open layout adds to the lively vibe.<br><br>I had a lovely time at Wagamama and would recommend it for a casual dining experience. Looking forward to my next visit!

We went by there for a quick bite and had two starters- Bang Bang Cauliflower and the Edamame. They were both absolutely fantastic and flavorful. Their Yuzu cocktail was also AMAZING. Banging 12/10<br><br>Only giving it a 4 because we were served coke (pretty flat) in a chipped glass and the bathroom was not well maintained. The ambience is so beautiful but going into the bathroom felt weird because it felt unclean - the toilet paper rolls were not filled and were on the floor, the soap dispenser was empty. Also, we hoped they had more than one veggie option per section.

Very fresh and innovative and high quality ingredients in theit modern twist on Ramen. Extremely high execution and quality. Will definitely be back to try more.

Wagamama is our go to place after work!<br>We come for the amazing cocktails made by our favorite bartender, Hannah. She is always so friendly and attentive, and most importantly she never misses her cocktails. Highly recommend!

This place is perfect—beyond excellent! The service was great; our waiter, Zack, was super nice and always attentive. We tried the sake sampler, which was wonderful, and the ramen was incredible (they even had a duck version!).<br>​The fried calamari was the best I’ve ever had. The head chef actually came to our table and recommended a couple of dishes, which made for a great experience. I had the chicken curry and loved every bite—it truly warmed my soul!<br>​I recommend Wagamama 100%

While on my way to one of my favorite chocolate shops I wasn’t sure what to have for lunch on Saturday. So I decided to try Wagamamma. My uncertainty about what to have for lunch didn’t end with which restaurant to choose but also what to eat. I ended up ordering 3 starters. I went with the chili hoisin duck bao which was delicious. Their version of calamari, a chili squid which was interesting but I don’t think I’ll try again. And Tokyo fries which was also interesting but I don’t think I’ll be trying again. My sister’s birthday was on Monday so naturally on Tuesday I ran to Macys (Herald Square) to get her a little something & decided to try Wagamamma once again since I felt or was cold enough to have ramen. I sat at the bar this time & ordered the Korean fried chicken bao for my appetizer & the chicken gyoza ramen for my main. Oddly enough my main was served before my appetizer. The ramen was pretty good however I wasn’t a big fan of the Korean fried chicken. Since there was hardly any chicken involved. It’s a nice restaurant with polite staff however I don’t see myself going back anytime soon.

Tried Wagamama for the first time in London 9 years ago and had a terrible experience. After almost a decade I decided to give it another try and it was ok. Had the seared tuna rice bowl and it was just ok. The tuna was fresh and nicely cooked but it was served over a mountain of rice and lettuce; nothing special. Service was good and the atmosphere was once again, just ok. Now dessert was a different story. The banana katsu was delicious. But dessert alone won’t bring me back.

We had a fun and flavorful meal at Wagamama! Tried a variety of dishes — some hits, some misses. The pad Thai was okay, but definitely not like the one you’d get in Thailand — milder and less bold in flavor. The duck ramen, on the other hand, was rich, a bit fatty in the best way, and absolutely satisfying.<br><br>The chicken salad was light and fresh, a good balance to the heartier dishes. Their famous bang bang cauliflower came with high expectations, but it was just okay — crispy but the sauce didn’t quite wow us.<br><br>We also had two bao buns: one vegetarian and one with chicken. Both were great — soft, fluffy buns with flavorful fillings. The chicken one especially stood out, with tender meat and a nice crunchy contrast.<br><br>Fresh-pressed juices were a highlight — especially the positive one, super refreshing and energizing. And the teas! One with lemongrass, the other with mint — both fragrant and calming.<br><br>A nice spot for a casual meal with a twist, especially if you’re in the mood for variety and fresh drinks.

I used to love this place but my last few times dining in or ordering out, something has been off.<br>My favorite meal there was the chicken katsu curry but it started to have a strong salt taste.<br>I tried the ginger chicken udon today and it seemed bland.<br>No one came to check to see how the meal was, and I had to wait for quite awhile to get the bill to pay.<br>It was not busy in there, just service was slow.<br>On my recent visit I spent $46 (including tax and tip) and it’s just not worth it. I hope things improve here because I really loved this restaurant.

Visited with my girlfriends. The place is really nice. The drinks are super good. I forgot to take more pictures because I was so busy stuffing my face.<br>The ramen was good but I definitely liked my friends better than the one I ordered.<br>Will have to go back and order different spread next time.<br>For apps we had Duck Hoisin Baos, Calamari, and Spicy Cauliflower Bites. I recommend all of them but careful with the cauliflower if you’re not good with spice, it definitely packs a punch.

I‘ve visited Wagamama in London several times and always had a great experience. When I came across this location in New York, I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, this visit was extremely disappointing, and I truly feel it was a WASTE of money.<br><br>Upon entering, a female server guided me toward a bar seat. I politely asked if I could be seated by the window instead, as there were plenty of empty tables. She did not verbally respond and seemed quite dismissive.<br><br>Shortly after, a male server, who was kind and attentive, brought me a glass of tap water.<br><br>However, the table was sticky and appeared dirty, which was concerning.<br><br>Regarding the food — I wondered how they are managing their ingredients and the recipe.<br><br>Pork Belly Bao ($11): The pork was extremely dry, and the toppings were poorly prepared.<br><br>Beef Brisket Tantanmen Ramen ($23): The bamboo shoots and the kimchi tasted spoiled, with a sourness beyond the normal flavor. The beef brisket was very dry, and the broth and egg were cold. For a dish that is meant to be served hot, the cold egg was particularly unpleasant.<br><br>I shared my feedback with the male server, who listened carefully and was understanding. I appreciated his attitude, which at least prevented the experience from being entirely ruined. Nevertheless, I spent $40 (including tip) for a deeply unsatisfying meal.

Came for Valentines day & the service was impeccable. Everything was fast & efficient. Food was amazing as always! My favorite gate keeping restaurant for YEARS. We ordered plain ramen for toddler, curry fire cracker chicken (my favorite), chicken gyoza ramen, pork dumplings & matcha cheesecake. Everything is definitely recommended. The pressed juices are delicious as well. Staff were friendly & worked very well on a busy evening. I arrived 10 minutes late for my reservation and they took me right away. Honestly no complaints.
