wagamama was set to reopen in Victoria Square on October 22 but will now welcome diners from early November.
Beloved Asian restaurant wagamama is making its much-anticipated return to Belfast however the reopening of its Victoria Square location has been delayed!
Originally set to open tomorrow (October 22), the store has been delayed until on Monday, November 3.
To celebrate the opening, wagamama kicked things off with a bang, offering fans an exclusive sneak peek and complimentary tasting of the new menu ahead of launch. The limited preview events will give 1,000 guests the opportunity to enjoy a free meal and experience wagamama before doors officially open. All preview event spots have now been filled.
What’s more – wagamama is launching a refreshed menu packed with tasty new additions. At its heart is the kids’ bento box* £7.50 for under-12s - a build-your-own meal with a choice of main, rice or noodles, vegetables, and sauce, served with gyoza and prawn crackers.
For everyone else, the line-up includes new savoury baos such as Korean fried chicken and tonkatsu pork, alongside upgraded favourites like Korean barbecue brisket and hoisin pulled duck. For the sweet tooth, customers can enjoy innovative dessert baos, while comforting mains such as the rich gochujang pork belly ramen and hearty katsu udon offer plenty of flavour and can be customised or enjoyed vegan.
Of course, wagamama’s iconic classics are also returning – including the legendary katsu curry, fresh chili chicken ramen and delicious yaki soba, made fresh to order and packed with feel-good flavour.
