Wagamama
Global comfort food — feels more London than Boston.
My Take
Wagamama is a UK chain that somehow works. It's not authentic anything — it's pan-Asian comfort food done consistently well. The ramen is solid, the katsu curry is reliable, and the communal tables make it feel less corporate than it is. Good for when you want something fast but better than fast-casual.
Why It Matters
Sometimes you want noodles without making a whole thing of it. Wagamama delivers exactly what you expect, every time.
Best For
Quick lunch, solo dining, when you're near Newbury Street and hungry
