Gochujang chicken donburi Net +1

“Tried the Gochujang Chicken Donburi and it’s a winner. The chicken had a great kick to it—super flavorful but not "need a gallon of water" spicy. The highlight was definitely the hot and cold mix; the warm chicken and rice paired with the cold, crunchy slaw and pickles kept it feeling fresh and not too heavy. Service was ok. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I would've loved a few more pieces of chicken, but the flavors were definitely on point. Will be ordering this again!”

What to Avoid (5)

Food 5

Bang bang noodles Net −1

“At our table we had the Yakisoba, bang bang noodles, grilled chicken ramen and a gochujang rice bowl along with our appetizers. I can understand if one of the dishes were bad, but every dish on our table hosted under seasoned, undercooked, and overall underwhelming food beyond belief.”
Gochujang rice bowl Net −1

“At our table we had the Yakisoba, bang bang noodles, grilled chicken ramen and a gochujang rice bowl along with our appetizers. I can understand if one of the dishes were bad, but every dish on our table hosted under seasoned, undercooked, and overall underwhelming food beyond belief.”
Premium seafood coconut rice noodle ramen Net −1

“"Breaking a fast is a significant moment, and tonight’s experience at WAGAMAMA mirdif was a total disaster. We ordered the premium seafood coconut rice noodle ramen, only to be served a cold broth with raw, thick noodles. To call this 'ramen' is an overstatement; it was inedible. What is truly 'below zero,' however, is the management. Despite raising the issue with the waitstaff, not a single manager approached the table to apologize, investigate, or offer any form of customer recovery. The lack of basic hospitality standards is shocking for a restaurant of this price point. I expected a quality meal; I received raw food and total indifference."”
Steak noodles Net −1

“The curry dish was really good as well, but the steak noodles were not good at all.”
Yakisoba Net −1

“At our table we had the Yakisoba, bang bang noodles, grilled chicken ramen and a gochujang rice bowl along with our appetizers. I can understand if one of the dishes were bad, but every dish on our table hosted under seasoned, undercooked, and overall underwhelming food beyond belief.”

The Bottom Line

Wagamama at City Centre Mirdif is a casual, Japanese-inspired Asian restaurant built around substantial bowls, curries and noodles. The chicken katsu curry is the safest recurring favourite, while ramen also earns strong praise; one diner rated the beef brisket tantamen’s rich, creamy broth 10/10. The gochujang chicken donburi brings warm chicken and rice together with cold slaw and pickles, and tom yum noodles are another recommended order.

Portions can be generous enough to share, and there is particularly useful coverage for vegetarians and vegans: one reviewer says every dish category has an option, highlighting khao suey, kare buruso and sweet and sour tofu. Service is often the bright spot, with reviewers describing quick, friendly attention and thoughtful help with spice levels or order changes. There are some reasons to stay alert.

A handful of recent reviews report cold broth, raw or undercooked noodles and poorly seasoned food, so consistency seems to vary. The mall setting may be noisy, and one visit felt hot and claustrophobic. Ask about spice and portion size before ordering, especially for Tom Yam Krung, and check lunch, happy-hour or Esaad offers.
