Noodles for everyone @ Wagamama, Earls Court, London, UK

Ramen-inspired cuisine (and some other Asian-Western fusion stuff). Long tables. Open kitchen. There's a reason why Wagamama is an award-winning restaurant with franchises in over 17 countries! Another awesome reason to be staying near Earls Court Road-Lots of restaurants and fast food. We had dinner there on our last night. Sis and hub met us there after work. Seems like eating in a food court of school cafeteria with those long tables. Never mind that though….Loved their menu with plenty of options. We had a hard time choosing and decided to go with whatever my sis suggested.
Wagamama Pad Thai £9.95
Prawn curry lomen £11.50
Pork ramen £9.25
Grilled duck ramen £12.95
Ginger chicken udon £9.50
Of all the noodles ordered, I personally like mine the best, Prawn Curry Lomen which was basically prawn in spicy coconut soup with ramen noodles. The curry was surprisingly quite thick and rich with coconut milk, tasty and spicy as well. Grilled prawns were fresh too although the ramen serving was way to big for me. I had a hard time finishing all the noodles but still managed to finish it (lols). Tasted the ramen broth (miso broth) from the grilled pork ramen and grilled duck ramen which were the same broth used. They were really generous with the huge slices of pork! The pad thai was not really authentic and probably an adapted version for the British with lots of vegetables though it has the wok-hei taste, which is a good thing. Also, the rice noodles used were the thicker ones compared to the usual noodles used for pad thai in Canada. The ramen soup were just ok for me (not a big fan of miso soup and for me it tasted more or less the same). Oh, and the green tea is served for free! 
Coconut & toasted sesame mochi ice cream £4.95
Although we were already so full with the large servings, we still decided to order their mochi ice cream. The coconut ones were just ok, not much of coconut taste to it but we all agreed that the toasted sesame mochi was better (and we ordered more of the coconut ones….@__@). Overall, food was good, quick serving and price acceptable. If you're looking for Asian food, Wagamama is the place to be without spending a bomb on it. 

Tips: In London, it is not obligatory to tip the servers. Check the receipt (cheque) beforehand, and if you see a service charge of usually between 10 to 12.5 %, you have a choice to pay and if not, you can request it to be removed from the cheque and then tip the server according to your preference.
