I went to Wagamamas probably last year now and I couldn't believe how poor it was. I won't go back. I've been a decent cook for years now and Wagamamas was always fine. Decent portions, food was alright. Now the prices have gone up massively, the quantity has gone down and the food is completely bland and tasteless.
I used to love it, pre-2017. Then I went to Japan, and the minute I stepped back home I went to this japanese place in Cirencester that has 4.8 star out of 5 on Trip Advisor and got a ramen and gyoza. I gave the place an honest review, but fair. Saying the gyoza was good but ramen lacked flavour besides salt. I had a tonkotsu and there was hardly any umami.
I got a DM a couple days later from the owner asking me why, I explained to her and then she asked if i could come to her shop to teach her how to make it!
Wagamama is like 1/5 on the scale, I give it a 1 because it's still food, just not good food.
One thing that Wagamama always annoy me is how they plate their Tonkatsu curry.
Why on earth do they plate their chicken UNDER a bed of rice? This is so moronic that I just can't get my head round, regardless of the argument of "you are covering it in sauce!".
