Guide Review - Wagamama Boston Review
The menu has a wide selection of options, with a heavy emphasis on noodle dishes. Wagamama's soup options are delicious and savory (try the Moyashi Soba, Wagamama's take on traditional Japanese ramen soups), while the fried noodle dishes offer a variety of ingredients and flavors, including the savory Yaki Soba and spicy Chili Mein. If you’re not inclined to slurp up the noodles, Wagamama also offers rice dishes and smaller plates such as dumplings (the duck and leek dumplings are a sure hit). If carbs are a concern, the salads are a good option as well. Finally, Wagamama has a good selection of drinks ranging from the common, such as green tea and soft drinks, to more unusual offerings like sparkling elderflower drink or sake wine.
Wagamama offers an efficient and pleasant dining experience for those looking to have a quick meal without breaking the bank. Prices for all dishes range from $8 to $12 with drinks and sides costing an additional $3 to $6 each. The service is friendly and speedy, if a little chaotic due to multiple waiters bringing food as it's ready and not knowing which diner it should go to. However, these are small imperfections that should be ironed out over time.
