    Ken our waiter was very attentive and so helpful and polite. Food was generally good. The kids boxes are brilliant. I would have preferred a little more sauce on my main dish and my partner said the same about his. My chicken was also a little dry. The bang bang cauliflower and duck gyozas were delicious.

    The food is always fresh, tasty and light. The people who served us were lovely and very helpful. Our only issue is that for a group of six we found it hard to hear each other - but it didn’t really stop the enjoyment. It’s a great post or pre theatre place to hang out with great food.

    We had a wonderful meal for a family birthday. Wagamama is usually our go to for a meal out, as the food is good and there are many options for different people in a group. We were slightly wary about coming this time around, after having a very disappointing meal at Wagamama in Gatwick airport recently where the food was so poor that we weren’t sure if we could or would return again. Thankfully, Wagamama Royal Festival Hall has redeemed our love for the brand again. Thank you for your service, we had a great time. Let’s hope that other branches can take your lead and remain true to the brand with the food and customer service, that has become a staple at Wagamama.

    I went with friends who had two very well behaved young children. The staff provided activity sheets and as they were so polite, got an ice lolly for the road. 100% recommended for families who want a restaurant that understands what you need. By the way, the lunch menu was good value..and the children were served first!
