Fans of Japanese-inspired dining are in for a treat this summer as wagamama has announced a major menu refresh, introducing 26 brand-new dishes across its UK restaurants and delivery platforms from 17 June 2026.
The popular restaurant chain is expanding its offering with inventive grab-and-go lunch options, seasonal bowls packed with bold flavours, refreshing drinks, and an impressive selection of gluten-free dishes, ensuring there is something for everyone this summer.
New Wagamama Lunch Menu Reinvents Fan-Favourite Classics
Designed for busy professionals and food lovers on the move, wagamama’s latest lunch menu transforms some of its most iconic dishes into convenient handheld meals.
Leading the launch is the new Chicken Katsu Wrap, which brings the restaurant’s famous crispy panko-coated chicken and signature katsu sauce into a portable wrap format.
Joining it is the Yasai Ramen Wrap, a creative twist on the beloved noodle dish that comes complete with a warming dipping broth, delivering the full ramen experience in a fresh new way.
New Lunch Boxes Join the Menu
Alongside the wraps, wagamama has introduced three new lunch boxes available Monday to Friday between 11am and 3pm:
- Miso K-Chicken Lunch Box
- Miso Cauliflower Lunch Box
- Nasi Goreng Lunch Box
The Indonesian-inspired Nasi Goreng Lunch Box features golden teriyaki fried rice topped with grilled chicken breast, katsu pickles and curry sauce, offering a hearty lunchtime option for diners looking to switch up their midday routine.
The new lunch range complements wagamama’s existing £14 lunch deal, which includes a selected main and drink when dining in.
Signature Seafood Ramen Headlines Summer Specials
Among the standout additions to the summer menu is the new Signature Seafood Ramen, arriving as a chef’s special.
The dish combines butterfly king prawns and tender squid marinated in gochujang and miso, served in a tangy yuzu broth and finished with crispy onions and samphire for a fresh seasonal flavour.
Seafood lovers looking for something different this summer may find this one of the chain’s most exciting launches yet.
Gochujang Salmon Rice Bowl Brings Bold Korean-Inspired Flavours
Another highlight is the Gochujang Salmon Rice Bowl, which combines tender salmon with the sweet-spicy kick of Korean gochujang.
The dish joins the new Chicken and Prawn Rice Bowl, offering lighter, fresh flavours ideal for warmer weather.
Both additions continue wagamama’s reputation for creating vibrant dishes inspired by Asian cuisine.
Matcha Colada Offers a Tropical Summer Refreshment
To accompany the new food menu, wagamama is also launching the Matcha Colada.
