Wagamama, 29 nuffield street, newmarket, Auckland

Advantages: Cheap, nice, healthy
Disadvantages: The service

...Wagamama's oxford Wagamama's first UK restaurant opened in Bloomsbury in1992. At first its restaurants were limited to London and Dublin. However the outlet now boasts 50 UK restaurants and one of its newest openings is this Oxford restaurant, which opened, in September last year. Wagamama's is located just off the main shopping street of Cornmarket and is handily on the way to the covered market, which is one of the biggest draws for shoppers in Oxford. For anyone who knows the area the restaurant is in the former pub that was Bar Oz. This was a fairly low key opening which no information in the local press and it was that I stumbled upon it whilst going for a baguette in the market at lunchtime did I realise that Oxford finally has a Wagamama's. This is a chain that my girlfriend first introduced me to some time earlier... Read review

..., and I found the PureNZ web site to be quite comprehensive for all areas of NZ. The main shopping areas are downtown Queen Street, High Street, Parnell, Newmarket and the St Luke's mall. There are also a large number of shopping malls throughout the region so you're probably not too far from one, no matter where you're staying. What surprised me about the shopping over here was that, despite being a very large city, there were none of the big name international chains I was expecting to see like Gap, HMV, Tower Records, Next etc. However, apart from the usual fast food chains (McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, Subway etc.) the shops are strangely unfamiliar. However, you can still buy some labels you'll recognise Levi's are a big thing, and surfer and outdoor gear is huge, so you'll be able to pick up your Quiksilver, Oakley O'Neill's etc... Read review

...Wagamama - Tivoli, Copenhagen Having established themselves in the UK over the past 15 years, Wagamama have now begun to spread their wings abroad venturing across Europe and into the United States. The new outlet in Copenhagen has taken a prime site in Tivoli Gardens with entrances from the park and the street outside. I dread to think what the ground rent for such a site would be but Wagamama is a popular, high volume restaurant which is invariably very busy. What is Wagamama? ~ Wagamama serves a mixture Japanese noodle and curry dishes. The menu is pretty much the same in any outlet and the one in Tivoli looked very similar to the ones in Covent Garden and Bloomsbury I've been to in the past. The template for each restaurant is the same and this one is no different. Seating is on long communal benches which you will share... Read review
