3 Best Japanese Restaurants in Nottingham, UK

“Wagamama Nottingham is an Asian-inspired & Japanese chain restaurant where dishes are whisked to long communal tables in the Cornerhouse. They serve modern and traditional Japanese dishes in bright spaces with bold art and high-backed chairs. The restaurant has a nice interior and plenty of seating. Wagamama Nottingham gives a contemporary feel to space, and much of the menu keeps things admirably authentic except for freshly sliced sashimi, nigiri and maki alongside rice, noodles and various teriyaki. The service from staff members is excellent; remember to order everything at once, as they bring it to you as it is cooked, meaning sometimes your sides come before the main and vice versa.
