• Fast Food

  This place is conveniant if you are going to Vue Cinema's in Angel - It's right next to the cinema, unfortunately I wish it tasted a bit nicer!The dumpling were fantastic - it was all going well to start with, we have the chicken dumplings filled with cabbage, chinese leaf, chinese chives and water chestnut. served with a chilli, garlic, sesame and soy sauce. (£4.50) - really good, we should have just ordered a whole lot of these!I then had: chicken kare lomena spicy soup made from lemongrass, coconut milk, shrimp paste, red chillies, fresh ginger and galangal. served with ramen noodles and garnished with a marinated and grilled chicken breast, beansprouts, cucumber, fresh coriander and a wedge of lime. Sounds delicious, but all it tasted like was soup with chilli, I had to pile on the soy sauce to get any taste whatsoever out of it - not impressed. (£8.20)My partner had seafood ramen £9.00noodles in a vegetable soup topped with seasonal greens andwakame, grilled smooth dory, marinated and grilled black tiger prawns, grilled squid and kamaboka-aka. The was one prawn.. and to be honest, if I had eaten that I would have been sick. They call themselves fast food to excuse themselves from the fact that your meals never arrive out at the same time, something I see as a poor and basically unacceptable if you are going out for a meal and paying for it!I'd go back for the dumplings, but I think my meals at home are nicer than what we got here...

  For those of you who don't know Wagamama... is there any of you out there??? Well in case you are just a tourist or have just arrived in London, Wagamama is a chain of Japanese noodle restaurants. You have huge tables which you find yourself sharing with either a large group of friends or strangers. In any case the one near Angel is found on the 1st level of the newly built N1 centre. It's everything you can expect from a Wagamama, tasty and fresh food in a clean restaurant. Service is fast, and some of the waitors are quite eclectic!
