Wagamama Staines is tucked into the Two Rivers Retail Park, making it a handy stop for a bite before the cinema, after the gym, or mid-shopping spree. With its minimalist, modern interiors and signature communal benches, the space feels open and unfussy - ideal for casual meals with friends or quick solo refuels. The atmosphere is upbeat and efficient, with friendly staff and a menu that caters to a wide range of tastes and dietary needs.
While ramen bowls and katsu curries are Wagamama staples, you'll also find a variety of rice and noodle-based dishes on offer. Look out for the likes of teriyaki beef donburi, featuring tender slices of steak served over sticky white rice with shredded carrots, pea shoots and a sweet soy glaze. For something with a bit of crunch and zing, the yaki soba offers stir-fried noodles tossed with chicken or prawns, vegetables and a light sauce, finished with pickled ginger and fried shallots.
The shu’s ‘shiok’ chicken is another bold option, inspired by Singaporean street food. It’s served with coconut and lemongrass rice, sambal paste and a cooling cucumber side. If you're after something warming but less brothy than ramen, the chicken tama rice - a rich, umami-packed bowl with grilled chicken, mushrooms and a soft egg - is a satisfying choice.
Plant-based diners will find plenty to enjoy too, from the avant gard’n (a vegan take on barbecue with seitan and smoky sauce) to the yasai yaki udon, packed with wok-fried vegetables and thick noodles. Drinks include fresh juices like raw carrot and ginger, Asian teas, and cocktails, while the kids’ menu features smaller portions and a set-price combo deal.
This branch offers step-free access, braille menus, hearing loops and baby facilities. Wagamama Staines also participates in the packaging return scheme, offering a complimentary side dish when takeaway bowls are returned responsibly.
