What to Eat at wagamama greens How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For wagamama greens, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of wagamama greens, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try outdoors. Choose the outdoor seating when the weather is comfortable; reviewers specifically rate the setup as part of the appeal.
Watch spice. The chilli chicken ramen is genuinely hot, so ask about the spice level if you prefer a milder bowl.
Check offers. Ask about current lunch or value deals before ordering; one diner only noticed the 125 value meal after placing the full order.
Allow time. Leave extra time for a made-to-order meal, especially outside a quick lunch visit.
Adjust drinks. If drinks taste too sweet, ask for less syrup; one reviewer found half the usual amount worked better.
Request changes. Customisation is worth asking about, including vegetables on the side for children or substitutions where available.

Common Concerns
Inconsistent dishes
Some visits have produced disappointing results, including sweet-tasting ramen, cold gyoza and chilli squid too tough to eat.
Price concerns
Several reviews describe the food or drinks as expensive, while one older review reported higher prices alongside a smaller katsu curry.
Long waits
Made-to-order food can take time, and one review reported a wait of more than 30 minutes.
Salty broth
A diner found the Kare Burosu Ramen broth too salty and reported feeling thirsty afterwards.

The Bottom Line
Wagamama Greens is a casual Japanese-inspired restaurant in The Greens, with long communal benches and a relaxed neighbourhood feel. It suits a ramen craving, a family meal or a laid-back dinner outside. The chicken katsu curry is a dependable favourite, while reviews also highlight Pad Thai and the chilli chicken ramen.
There is room to adjust an order: one family regularly asks for vegetables on the side, and another review says substitutions were accommodated. Vegan options are mentioned too, although one vegetarian diner felt the choice of main dishes was limited. The chilli chicken ramen is notably spicy, so it is worth checking the heat before ordering.
Value depends on the offer. Reviewers mention weekday lunch deals at 55 AED, a three-course meal at 99 AED and a 125 value meal, while another visit came to around 115 AED for two dishes. Entertainer discounts have also been used.
Drinks can feel overpriced, and one reviewer preferred juices with half the syrup. Most visits describe fresh, flavourful food and attentive service, but consistency is not guaranteed: there are reports of cold gyoza, tough chilli squid, salty broth and waits over 30 minutes. Made-to-order dishes can take time, so allow a little breathing room.
