Restaurant Review Wagamama St Paul’s Ludgate Hill

Attended the first preview and found that although the website had only had bookings from 1pm it seemed to start earlier than that as people were already there at 1240.

I had 2 new dishes a starter of Bag Bang Cauliflower and Shiitake Donburi.  The starter didn’t look a lot like the picture on the place mats and looked a bit burnt with a darker sause than the orange sauce in the photo and it was quite spicy.

The main was a large bowl with a whole round omelette on top which was made with mushroom slices and whole tenderstem broccoli. Underneath the omelette was grated carrot and rice and it was very filling.  I was warned in advance that it would take at least 10 minutes as it was made from scratch. I also had a tropical juice with orange mango and apple which I’ve had before.

For a popular tourist location it is a very small restaurant but the staff were friendly and attentive.
