wagamama newcastle eldon square

This place is great and I have been coming in quite often for nearly 10 years. Yaki udon is my fave. Food tastes good and is served quickly. I will say though experience today was not great. For first time ever asked for gluten free menu because my bf thinks he may be intolerant. We did say it was only a preference and traces of gluten are fine and there's no need to clean pans especially for us etc. There was a bit of confusion when ordering and manager who served us came across as quite rude and short tempered and a bit hostile. Was made to feel like we are awkward arses and a bit of an inconvenience. This interaction did spoil the vibe of our meal fair bit unfortunately. This place offers Eldon square discount for staff which is great but to be honest didn't really want to ask for this at the end due to the awkward interaction earlier.

Great food, prepared and served with care and attention. As a vegan eating out is usually stressful but not at wagamama's, as almost every dish could be modified. Wagamama's is particularly good at catering for special diets and there is a gluten free menu.
