    Great place! Was at the original one in London when it first opened; loved it then, love it now.

    No one was there. The entire restaurant was basically empty, save for a few people sitting outside and at the bar.

    Our food and drinks were delicious, healthy and on point! Our server made great recommendations and he was attentive to our needs without being obtrusive. He was friendly and professional (and our tip reflected that). The ambience of the restaurant was also good... energetic but not too loud. The hostess and the manager(?) were also friendly and professional. We were greeted like family, and it was our first time there! I would definitely recommend Wagamama's Clarendon location !

    Overall a cafeteria vibe; with unappealing food presentation. Hostess should sit larger parties in the larger booths that are available (common sense). All undesirable corners should only be used when the restaurant is full; ie sit patrons at the good tables first, especially when they have a reservation. Not sure why any party of 4 episodes be seated at a booth for 2 next to the bathroom unless the restaurant was full to the brim. Pad Thai had too many chunks of scallions, chicken had a poor taste. Unlike any Pad Thai I have ever eaten. Dessert portion was a joke. Matcha cheesecake was stale tasting and just a sliver. Dumplings also are not average size.

    Food and drinks were delicious! We ordered pork gyoza and Korean fried chicken bao for the table. Everyone agreed that the bao had a nice blend of spice and sweetness. I had a yuzu cocktail, which was refreshing and had subtle flavors. Our server, Claire, was friendly and knowledgeable. They had a great kids menu that even my pickiest eater liked! We ate outside on the patio and enjoyed the ambiance of Clarendon on a Saturday night. We’ll be back again soon!

    I’ve been a Wagamama fan going back to the the 1990s in London. While I miss the original, British version’s concept of long communal tables that encourage a sense of community and chitchat diners thrown together by face, the food was as good as ever. While the service was solid, on this visit I had a beer can explode upon opening and had to ask twice for water when suddenly choking on something spicy that went down the wrong way, and no, I really don’t need the bartender to point at a glass of water and tell me that the server will bring it to me, when he and the server are chatting together at the end of the bar and I’m in mid-choke. But other than that 60 seconds of drama, I had a great time and, as always, the food hit the spot, the spot being my stomach. :-)

    Thank goodness they've finally opened a Wagamama in the Washington area! We last ate their wonderful food in London in 2006. This restaurant did not disappoint. Food, service, and presentation all were fantastic. Our waiter took time to walk us through the menu choices and to make amazing recommendations. We particularly appreciated that the General Manager came by several times to make sure we had everything we wanted. I even saw him helping his stretched staff by cleaning off tables. That's the way to make a restaurant a success. Our only complaint was the noise level; things were a bit lively when we first arrived at 7pm, but they quieted down a good bit by the time we left a few hours later. Best of all at Wagamama is the presentation. Each plate is a work of art. Keep up the good work!

    Our waiter seemed inexperienced. No big deal, we are super chill! After ordering drinks we ordered apps. We received our apps before our drinks. It took a long time for the waiter to return and take our dinner order. Eventually, the dinner entrees came out, but all at different times. Everyone’s meal tasted good but it felt like we were eating in shifts. We can check this place off of our list.
