I used to love Wagamama's and always ate there as a treat while at university but usually I now now that Duck Gyoza's and Chicken Katsu were not such a good idea!! I was excited but a little apprehensive that a free from trip would not be quite as good but i had read good things online and so went with some friend's to the Wimbledon Branch last night.
As soon as I asked for the Dietary Advice folders our server brought them over, enquired as to whether I had used them before, which I said I had not. He then very kindly explained that one folder highlighted gluten free (and many other allergens) and the other then showed you the modifications that you could make if you wanted to, for example not having Teriyaki Sauce.
My server however recommended the new Chilli Squid, the work 'Deep fried' is usually a cause for concern but he assured me it was a celiac favourite and one of the Itame dishes which you can get in chicken, prawn or tofu and was described as'rice noodles in a spicy green coconut and lemongrass soup topped with stir-fried chicken, beansprouts, chillies, red and spring onions, bok choi, peppers and mushrooms.' which both sounded good to me so i took his recommendation and ordered the chicken itame and the chilli squid side and this was the result:
CHICKEN ITAME |
CHILLI SQUID |
Safe to say I was not disappointed, in fact I was a very happy bunny! The Itame was much like a Thai green curry in flavour, the chicken moist and with the flat rice noodles it was both flavoursome and filling, and the Squid? Amazing, closest thing I have had to batter in 18 months and the sauce was also gorgeous, will definitely be back for more :)
