We stood at the door waiting for almost ten minutes, and the waitress told us three times to wait a little longer. With so many empty seats, why couldn't she let us sit down first before serving others? The food was terrible; the Korean BBQ chicken wings had a disgusting taste. The worst restaurant I have ever go.

The food was okay. The service was very slow and we didn’t see our server for 15-20 minutes at a time. The restaurant was not busy and our food came out at all different times, one person had to wait 15 minutes for their food after everyone else had theirs. Would not recommend, there are better asian food restaurants in Tampa.

Atmosphere is really cool, open kitchen and lots of diverse seating where people go to work - overall relaxing and chill. Got the Sichuan pork ramen and some streamed pork gyoza: 39.95 post tip. Both were honestly not good - lacking flavor, especially the Sichuan dish having 0 Sichuan peppercorn flavor/aroma - and I wouldnt recommend either, so will not be coming back. Service was good but the review card I got from my server looks like it was played with for 30 minutes before it was given to me.

Love wagamama from the food, music, and drinks.
Want to give a shout out to Justin, he’s an amazing bartender! Is able to keep friendly conversation while maintaining the entire bar and drink tickets from his service well. He’s got a great smile and attitude and works well under pressure. He’s the reason I keep coming back!
Went in for a quick bite and drinks before a concert awhile back. The yuzu is my favorite cocktail. It’s so light and refreshing. Love the duck bao buns, they’re very delicious. I rarely get duck anywhere but they’re so flavorful and cooked well here. A few friends joined us and one requested a lychee mojito that Justin was able to concoct.
Can’t wait to visit and try more of their food!

Went in for a last minute dinner. We were seated right away and heard the specials and immediately got a pitcher of one of the drinks. It was so hard to choose from all of the options. We got edamame (which was the best I’ve had) and a couple main dishes. Can’t wait to go back and try different things!
