0

wagamama is turning up the flavour this October with a menu full of fresh, feel-good dishes. The line-up features sweet and savoury baos, nourishing mains and a brand new kids’ bento box, created in response to parents seeking more variety and choice for their children’s meals. Packed with vibrant flavours and bold ingredients, the new menu has something for everyone.

At the heart of wagamama’s October menu is the kids’ bento box*, a customisable option designed especially for younger guests. With over 1,000 possible combinations, kids have the freedom to explore bold flavours and turn mealtime into an interactive experience that caters to even the fussiest of eaters. Available for children under 12 and priced at £7.50, it lets kids build their own meal using separate compartments, to choose a main, rice or noodles, fresh vegetables and a delicious sauce. Served with gyoza and prawn crackers, it offers kids a customisable experience that encourages them to discover new flavours.

Other highlights include wagamama’s refreshed bao bun selection and comforting mains inspired by guest favourites. New savoury baos include korean fried chicken and tonkatsu pork, while korean barbecue brisket, hoisin pulled duck, and oyster & shiitake mushrooms have been refreshed to include more filling and a fluffier bun. Dessert baos, deep-fried baos filled with ice cream, include ube & cherry, matcha & chocolate and miso caramel with toffee.

New comforting mains feature a warming gochujang pork belly ramen that’s rich, spicy and satisfying, alongside a hearty katsu udon that showcases wagamama’s signature flavours. While the katsu udon has been created as a vegan dish, wagamama offers customisation in which guests can add chicken, tofu, or prawns.

Steve Mangleshot, Global Executive Chef at wagamama said, “Our new October menu is packed with fresh, bold flavours, from nourishing mains to shareable bao buns, giving guests more ways than ever to make every meal their own. Our bento boxes also give kids the chance to discover new flavours and enjoy a variety of carefully balanced dishes. Whether you are after something familiar or looking to try something new, the menu has something for the whole family.”
