How to order with confidence

  • Always say "vegan". Some dishes come in more than one version. For the yaki soba, choose rice noodles or udon, as those are the versions on the vegan menu.
  • Use the vegan filter online. Wagamama's website has a vegan toggle that hides everything else, and there's a downloadable allergen guide.
  • Share sides. The sides menu is where Wagamama's vegan range really shines, so order a few to share alongside your mains.
  • Ask about shared woks and fryers if it matters to you. Vegan dishes are cooked in the same kitchen as everything else, and staff should be able to give you an honest answer.

Allergies: vegan isn't the same as allergy-safe. If you have an allergy, tell your server and ask to see Wagamama's allergen guide.

Make every meal out a good one

Chains are getting better, but plenty of places still leave vegans with one token option. The Vegan Eating-Out Toolkit shows you how to check any venue in five minutes, spot hidden animal ingredients and ask staff the right questions.
