Wagamama

"Wagamama": a fun, but unusual name to say, and a fun, but unusual place to eat! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this hailed noodle bar among the UK. Even the website and modern logo with the famous red star, made us look forward to the evening that we were able to visit. The location in downtown Manchester in the Printworks building is unique with an entrance into a small, empty lobby with a lone stairway descending into the basement-like dining room. The tables are set up cafeteria style where couples sit across from each other and side by side to other patrons. The kitchen is open and the atmosphere is chic and minimalistic—bustling with young energy.

The staff was very friendly immediately letting us know how the menu was arranged and explaining some of the unfamiliar dishes—from ramen, kare noodles, and teppan, to raw juices, sake, and ginger cheesecake. The main dishes are mostly under €10, while the sides and desserts are around €4 to €6. There are several vegetarian options that are clearly labeled on the menu with a red "v" next to the item.

We enjoyed grilled veggie dumplings, a mixed veg fried wide noodle bowl, and a chocolate fudge cake with choco-wasabi sauce. Overall it is a fun, unique, non-expensive restaurant that we would highly recommend during a visit to the UK.
