Located in the heart of Tunbridge Wells, Wagamama brings its much-loved Japanese-inspired dining to Kent. With its signature black exterior and bold white lettering, the restaurant is instantly recognisable, while the interiors are clean and minimalistic. Spacious bench seating encourages a communal dining experience, making it a great choice for everything from casual lunches to family dinners or relaxed meals with friends.
The menu is designed around wagamama’s philosophy of fresh, nourishing food served quickly and enjoyed together. To start, small plates set the tone with big flavour bites such as hot honey fried chicken, chilli squid, bao buns and ebi katsu, or lighter choices like salted edamame and miso soup with tofu.
Mains include wagamama’s signature curries - katsu, coconut and kare - while colourful donburi rice bowls are topped with your choice of protein and garnishes. The sizzling teppanyaki noodles come straight from the grill with options like chicken and prawn, steak or mushroom, while bowls of ramen and pho deliver warming, fragrant broths filled with noodles and fresh vegetables.
Drinks are as carefully considered as the food, with a line-up of signature cocktails, gin teas, beers, wines, spirits, juices and soft drinks, as well as a selection of sake. Hot drinks range from coffee to teas with a Japanese twist, including cherry blossom tea, golden leaf breakfast tea and fresh mint. To finish, desserts such as raspberry snow cake, rich chocolate brownie, or ice cream and sorbets round things off perfectly.
Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diners will find plenty of choice, and children are well catered for too with a dedicated kids’ menu featuring mini katsu or ramen. For fresh, flavour-packed dining in Kent, wagamama Tunbridge Wells is a reliable go-to.
