WAGAMAMA SOLIHULL REVIEWS

Staff are always friendly and attentive. Quick service and yummy food. My faves are the duck gyozas, chilli squid and pad Thai with chicken and prawns. Reading other reviews I don't think some customers realise Wagamamas deliver food to your table as it is ready. So you can get your mains before starters! Also you might get your main before your friends/family. So my advice is order the starters, eat them, THEN order the mains.

Delicious food at Wagamama Solihull. Fresh ingredients and food always comes piping hot. Really quick service too! It would be nice to have a waiter/waitress assigned to a particular section so you see the same person everytime but I understand that when it's busy this isn't always possible. Would highly recommend!

Went for the beef/duck Gyudon with some prawn for starters. Great food, it was served to us quickly and staff were friendly too. This was all done during a very busy period.

YAKINORI REVIEWS

Did the sushi class and it was great fun! Chef Vahid clearly showed his passion for Japanese food showing how to make sushi! A really good experience and good value for money considering how much sushi you get to make and eat plus two free drinks! Dietary restrictions: They catered to our vegetarian friend.

From the moment we stepped inside there was a really great family atmosphere. My little one has been eagerly waiting to try Japanese food! His Ninja Bento box went down a storm and the server Maisy made the trip all that more pleasant. Offering extra help, advice and recommendations, nothing too much trouble with a smile and time to engage with little one! Thank you Maisy & team!

Went for the Sushi master class which was really good. Staff very friendly and food and equitment were very nice too. The complimentary stuff was very nice as well.

KIBOU REVIEWS

Really enjoyed our experience here, had a lovely meal for 2 with my gf for a birthday treat using a Kibou gift card we had received. Service was excellent, Mikey our waiter really made the experience special. Food was excellent as was the atmosphere, tried and sampled a variety of dishes, Mikey even brought over a little sampler for us to try while we explored the menu, and a complimentary birthday dessert! Would highly recommend, we will most definitely be back again soon.

Absolutely lovely spot, food was amazing, drink selection was great and a good selection of gluten free dishes and a pale ale too and I was assured that it will be prepared fresh in a different area to avoid cross contamination. The A5 wagyu was amazing We will definitely visit again.

We've been here twice in the last month and loved it! The food is great, with several options even if you don't eat sushi. My favourite is the Katsu curry, will keep returning for that. Only suggestion would be to have a more diverse dessert menu.
