First, a correction: there is no separate dinner menu

Wagamama does not run a distinct evening menu. We checked the official menu in September 2026 and the categories are: limited time only, lunch time, sides, the main event, extras, desserts and sweet treats, drinks, kids, and gluten free.

There is a lunch time section with smaller, cheaper portions. Everything else — “the main event” and the rest — is served all day. So what people call the dinner menu is simply the full menu, ordered in the evening.

This page used to publish a table of dinner dishes with exact prices. We removed it. The figures could not be traced to Wagamama’s own published data, and a price list that looks authoritative but was never verified is worse than no list at all. What follows instead is what we can actually help with: what to order in the evening, and why.

What to order for dinner at Wagamama

Evening ordering at Wagamama comes down to one decision: broth or no broth. Almost everything else follows from that.

If you want…	Order from	Why
Something warming and filling	Ramen	Noodles in broth. The most substantial thing on the menu and the dish Wagamama is built around.
Comfort food, nothing challenging	Katsu curry	Breaded chicken or vegetables, mild sauce, rice. The safest order on the menu.
Heat	Firecracker or a chilli ramen	See our chicken firecracker guide for how hot it actually is.
Something lighter	Donburi or a salad	Rice bowls sit between small plates and a full ramen in size.
Dry noodles, no soup	Yaki soba or yaki udon	Stir-fried rather than broth-based. Easier to share.
To try several things	Small plates	Three or four shared across two people works better than a main each.

The one thing to know before you order

Wagamama does not serve in courses. Every dish leaves the kitchen the moment it is ready, so a table of four will get four plates at four different times. This is deliberate, and it is the single biggest difference from a conventional restaurant dinner.

Two practical consequences for an evening meal:

If you want to eat together, say so. Ask your server to bring the mains at the same time. They can flag it to the kitchen, though it is not guaranteed.
Order small plates first, deliberately. Edamame and buns arrive fast and bridge the gap while the mains are cooked, rather than landing halfway through someone’s ramen.

The upside is speed. A Wagamama dinner is usually shorter than an equivalent chain meal, which suits an evening with somewhere else to be and suits families — see our family dining guide.

Lunch menu vs evening: the real price difference

The lunch time section is the only genuine pricing difference across the day. It runs smaller portions at lower prices, and it stops at a set time — so ordering at 2.45pm and 3.15pm can produce noticeably different bills for similar food.

Two things worth knowing:

Lunch portions are smaller, not just cheaper. If you are properly hungry, an evening main may be better value than a lunch dish plus a side.
The student discount cannot be combined with the lunch menu. If you are a student, the 20% off an evening main may beat the lunch price — worth doing the arithmetic. See our discounts guide.

Full detail on the daytime range is in our lunch menu guide.

Building a dinner for two

A pattern that works well and avoids over-ordering:

Two small plates to share. One fried, one not — gyoza and edamame, for instance. Ordered first, eaten while you wait.
One main each. Ideally one broth dish and one dry dish, so you can try both.
One side if still hungry. Order it after the mains arrive rather than upfront. Portions are larger than they look.

The most common mistake is ordering three or four small plates alongside two mains at the start. Everything arrives at once, and half of it goes cold while you work through the rest.

Dietary requirements in the evening

The full range is available all day, so nothing narrows at dinner:

Vegan and vegetarian — a substantial range, covered in our vegan menu guide.
Gluten free — a dedicated menu section. See the gluten-free guide.
Allergies — order in the restaurant, not online. Only managers take allergy orders and they cannot be placed through click and collect or delivery. Our allergen guide has the dish-by-dish detail.

Frequently asked questions

Does Wagamama have a separate dinner menu?

No. There is a lunch time section with smaller, cheaper portions; the rest of the menu is served all day. The evening menu is the full menu.

What time does the lunch menu stop?

It varies by restaurant. Check with your branch if you are arriving mid-afternoon and want lunch pricing.

How much is dinner at Wagamama?

Check the official menu for your restaurant. Prices vary by location and airport branches are priced separately and higher. We removed the price table that used to appear here because we could not verify it against Wagamama’s own data.

Do I need to book for dinner?

Most branches take bookings, and it is worth doing at weekends or with a group. Turnover is fast, so walk-in waits are often shorter than they first appear.

What is the most popular dish?

Chicken katsu curry, by some distance. It is the dish most people order on a first visit and the safest recommendation for anyone unsure.
