WAGAMAMA LEICESTER REVIEWS

Came for a little date for my birthday tonight, was served by Amelia! She was so lovely and really helped us out. We was abit quiet but such a lovely girl. The food was outstanding we cannot fault it. We will be back again! Thank you loves :).

Wonderful service. Kai (my waiter for the evening) was a kind and polite man. He clearly introduced himself before taking our order. He checked our order with us and told us he would help us if we call him before leaving. Service was quick. I would highly recommend to family and friends.

LITTLE TOKYO JAPANESE RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Absolutely love this place and go regularly with my partner. Everyone needs to try the special curry noodle soup (actually Malaysian curry laksa), it’s SO DELICIOUS and just the PERFECT bowl of hot noodle soup. The staff are also absolutely lovely too and we have a great rapport with them each time. So underrated more people need to go!!

Went there a few weeks ago for my friends birthday. The food was delicious and the service was amazing and the staff helped make their birthday special. Would definitely recommend, thank you Little Tokyo!

Absolutely Delicious, Definitely recommend, the Chicken Dumplings were exceptionally nice I’ve had similar At Wagamama this place is so so so much nicer.

WAKAZE REVIEWS

This is our go to spot for sushi for Leicester. All menu items are very reasonably priced and good portion sizes. The sushi and sashimi is very fresh. Spicy beef fried rice is a must try. Everything is well presented and speedy service.

Great food. It was quite busy and I had to wait 20mins to be seated for lunch on a Saturday. They don't reserve tables. I would highly recommend visiting however be prepared to wait a bit.

One of the most authentic bento boxes I’ve eaten outside of Japan. It was paired with a complementary miso soup and I added the Komé B?ru Japanese Rice Beer which worked perfectly. A real gem of a find in Leicester.
