To equalise its vegan menu, Wagamama has included four new inspiring vegan dishes.
First on the menu is the Teriyaki Vegan ‘Chicken’ Ramen – Vegan ‘chicken’ in a spicy teriyaki sauce topped with sweetcorn, bok choi, chilli sambal paste, spring onion, and chilli, served on a bed of ramen noodles and vegetable broth. Perfect for warming up our souls during the winter months.
Next is the Spicy Vegan Short ‘Rib’ Ramen – a blend of mushroom and soya protein ‘ribs’ in a sweet and spicy sticky sauce. Served with roasted bok choi, spring onion, chilli, sesame seeds, and noodles served in a rich broth. Delicious!
In addition, the chain has collaborated with chef Shu Han Lee to create its Shu’s Shiok. This flavourful dish includes turmeric and ginger marinated jackfruit, roasted and served on a bed of lemongrass dressed rice, with pickled slaw, radish, chilli, coriander and caramelised lime.
Finally, no meal is complete without scrumptious sides, Wagamama’s Spicy Teriyaki Vegan ‘Chicken’ Steamed Buns will not disappoint! The two fluffy Asian buns are filled with Asian slaw, fried shallots and spicy teriyaki sauce. How can we resist?

“We’ve been making choices, both big and small, to tread more lightly on our earth”
In a statement made to Vegan Food & Living, Wagamama CEO Thomas Heier said: “This menu launch marks an important moment for us as a business, as we officially make our menu 50% plant-based.
“We’ve been making choices, both big and small, to tread more lightly on our earth.”
Heier added, “We’re privileged to have restaurants in most major UK cities, therefore feel a real responsibility and exciting opportunity to make plant-based food as accessible as possible to all guests no matter their dietary preferences.”
He explained that Wagamama’s hopes its new menu will inspire diners to try something and not miss out on its iconic flavours.
Don’t forget, guests can sign up to Wagamama’s Plant Pledge and receive a free plant-based side with every main. Enjoy!
