Vegan Wagamama UK: The Best Plant-Based Dishes 2026

Wagamama is one of the best chain restaurants in the UK for vegans. Their menu has an entire plant-based section, and many of their most popular dishes have vegan versions. Here is the full breakdown.

Vegan mains

• Yasai Katsu Curry — sweet potato, aubergine, butternut squash, and broccoli in katsu sauce with sticky rice. The most popular vegan dish on the menu and genuinely excellent.
• Tofu Firecracker Curry — tofu in a spicy coconut and chilli sauce with rice.
• Yasai Pad Thai — stir-fried rice noodles with vegetables, tofu, and peanuts. Ask for no egg.
• Veggie Ramen — rich vegetable broth with noodles, tofu, mushrooms, and greens.
• Yasai Yaki Soba — soba noodles stir-fried with vegetables in a yakisoba sauce.

Vegan sides and starters

• Edamame — steamed with salt or chilli garlic. Always vegan.
• Yasai Gyoza — vegetable dumplings. Vegan.
• Tofu Bao Buns — steamed buns with tofu and pickled vegetables.
• Sweet Potato Fries — vegan.
• Mixed Leaf Side Salad — vegan.

What to watch out for

• Egg — the standard Pad Thai contains egg. Ask for yours without it.
• Fish sauce — traditional Japanese cooking uses fish-based dashi. Wagamama’s vegan dishes use a plant-based alternative, but if you order off the non-vegan menu, ask about fish sauce.
• Tempura — the vegetable tempura batter may contain egg. Check before ordering.

The verdict

Wagamama is one of the best chain restaurants for vegans in the UK. The Yasai Katsu Curry alone makes it worth visiting. Unlike many chains where the vegan option feels like an afterthought, Wagamama’s plant-based dishes are some of the most popular items on their entire menu.
