Wag ya mama's
The first lunch time meeting of the Square Mile reviewers club was less well attended than was to become usual due to offensive_mango's absence, which if memory serves was due to getting married in Las Vegas.
The glamorous chiller and I therefore set out to a) meet for the first time and b) have a spot to eat at the Moorgate branch of Wagamama.
Noodles. Rice. Meat. Veg. It's not hard is it? Well that's what you may think, but the success of the Wagamama chain has been in no small part due to the fact that they do the simple things well, and so my regular order of the Yasai Katsu curry was well cooked, well presented and as tasty as it always is. chiller had some sort of soup which she seemed to enjoy, but as I had never met her before I just had to take her word for it that she normally went that colour.
Our meeting proceeded to contain fainting goats, tiny horses and assorted other background trivia that you are probably not interested in, and fun was had by all/both/whatever.
One thing that regular bargain hunter pipistrellus had put me onto before our visit was the Wagamama website, which regularly contains offers for various branches, and as the food is of a consistent good quality across the chain all you need to do is make your way to a nearby branch to take advantage. chiller and I enjoyed a free side dish (chicken, I think), and pipistrellus and I downed a free bottle of wine on our visit to the Soho branch a couple of days later.
In summary, Wagamama's produces food of a consistent good quality that, if not exactly exciting, is excellent value for money.
chiller on the other hand offers excellent company, but I cannot comment on her value for money.
