About the Brand
Wagamama is a British pan-Asian restaurant chain that’s become a familiar fixture on high streets across the country. Founded in 1992 by Alan Yau in London’s Bloomsbury, the brand now operates more than 150 restaurants in the UK and has expanded into Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. It’s part of The Restaurant Group, which was taken private by Apollo Global Management in 2023.
The menu draws on Japanese cuisine but pulls from wider Asian influences. Ramen, teppanyaki, curry rice, and donburi form the backbone, with chicken, beef, tofu, fish, and vegetables all featuring prominently across the range. Dishes are prepared fresh and served in the chain’s signature communal-bench style. There’s a dedicated vegan and vegetarian section too, including plant-based takes on popular dishes like yasai gyoza and the vegatsu curry — so dietary preferences rarely limit your options.
Several features set wagamama apart beyond the food itself. Soul Club, the loyalty programme, earns you a stamp for every £12 spent — three stamps for a free side, six for a free main. Students, key workers, and armed forces members get 20% off food and drink Sunday to Thursday. For families, kids’ bento boxes start from £7.50, and set menu deals (two courses for £20, three for £25) are available when booking a bench.
Between the loyalty rewards, demographic discounts, and set menus, there are several built-in ways to eat for less at wagamama. Pair these with the current offers listed below, and you’ve got a page worth bookmarking before your next visit.
How to use
Shopping Guide
When’s the best time to eat at wagamama for less?
January is when our users save the most, with post-Christmas promotions running all month. Late November around Black Friday brings occasional limited-time deals too. Outside of these peaks, dining Sunday to Thursday is your strongest play if you qualify for a student, key worker, or defence discount — the 20% off doesn’t run on Fridays, Saturdays, or Bank Holidays.
How does the Soul Club loyalty programme compare to just using promo codes?
Soul Club and promo codes work independently — you can benefit from both. Each £12 spent earns one stamp: three for a free side, six for a free main. A typical main and side runs £15-18, so you’d unlock a free side after about two visits. New members also receive a welcome treat. If you eat at wagamama regularly, the loyalty rewards stack up faster than you’d expect.
What should I watch out for with wagamama discounts?
Most discounts exclude Fridays, Saturdays, and Bank Holidays, plus occasions like Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. Some offers need Soul Club membership or must be activated through the app — they won’t apply if you just pay at the till without redeeming first. Many codes cover food but not drinks, and minimum spend requirements are common. Always check the terms attached to each offer on this page.
Are wagamama’s set menus actually good value?
Two courses for £20 or three for £25 saves roughly £3-5 per person versus ordering à la carte, given mains around £10-14 and starters at £5-7. Complimentary edamame or prawn crackers sweeten the deal further. The catch: set menus require a bench booking, so they’re not available for walk-ins — plan your visit accordingly.
