Wagamama has delighted fans with the launch of their new menu packed with Korean-inspired flavours, as the cuisine skyrockets in popularity.<\/p>\n
Korean food has only been growing in-demand in Britain, with restaurants popping up across London and videos of Korean Corn Dogs garnering 83.9 million views on TikTok\u00a0alone.<\/p>\n
So, it only made sense for the restaurant chain to give the British public what they have been craving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pan-Asian chain’s menu has had a major shake up, introducing hot pots, tteokbokki and many more delicious dishes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Wagamama launched a new menu on October 4, gracing customers with a range of new Korean-inspired dishes<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The pan-Asian introduced the menu shake-up alongside its first television creative since 2021<\/p>\n
On October 4 the restaurant launched its Korean-infused menu with the hopes of pushing the envelope further with their innovative dishes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wagamama also announced their first TV advertisement at the same time as the daring new menu, which is their first since 2021.<\/p>\n
The pan-Asian chain hopes the new menu will leave customers satisfied and rejuvenated after every dive into their warm bowls.<\/p>\n
Among the new cutting-edge items up for grabs is the vegan k dog – the restaurant’s take on a popular Korean street food classic.<\/p>\n
The corn dog is encased in a crispy noodle crumb coating, and dished up with a fiery sriracha sauce, as well as a zesty turmeric vegan mayo.<\/p>\n
Among items gracing the restaurant’s menu for the first time are nourishing hot pots, drowned in a hearty Korean-inspired broth.<\/p>\n
Not only does the warm bowl come with ttoekbokki and vegetables, but tofu, chicken or premium cut steak can be added depending on your taste buds.<\/p>\n
You can even opt for a popular spicy rice cake alongside it, if it takes your fancy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another new addition to the list is their perfectly-balanced gochujang rice bowls, that similarly to the hot pot come with steak, tofu or chicken.<\/p>\n

Wagamama’s have also included their own take on the famous Korean corn dog, in the form of the vegan k-dog (pictured right).\u00a0The restaurant are also plating up heartwarming hot pots (pictured right), coupled with steaming Korean-inspired broth<\/p>\n
The bowls bursting with the spicy yet sweet gochujang flavours are plated up with crunchy vegetables, snow onions and pickled onions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But it is not just mains that will see as a change, as Wagamama fans will spot an array of new sides on menu’s across the nation.<\/p>\n
Hungry fans will be pleased to see crispy rotis served with raisukatsu sauce, as well as king oyster mushroom skewers on the menu.<\/p>\n
But the pan-Asian restaurant has not forgotten about those with a sweet tooth either, offering customers crispy chouxnuts pumped with kuromitsu black honey or sweet matcha for dessert.<\/p>\n
Global executive chef, Steve Mangleshot said: ‘We designed the new menu to nourish and rejuvenate our guests and to tap into the cultural and social trends that are exciting people in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘For this reason, we have been inspired by mouthwatering Korean flavours and street foods.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Our test kitchen is constantly working to create innovative, sustainable and groundbreaking dishes and our chefs are excited to showcase their skills and serve up the new dishes.’<\/p>\n

Wagamama haven’t forgotten about their sweet-toothed customers either introducing new crispy chouxnuts filled with kuromitsu black honey or sweet matcha<\/p>\n
The new menu announcement comes after Wagamama launched the UK’s first vegan fish and chips.<\/p>\n
The chain put their own Japanese twist on a British classic by selling Tempura F-ish + Bang Bang Yaki-imo.<\/p>\n
The flavour-packed dish saw classic Beer battered fish swapped out for a lightly tempura coated ‘f-ish’, made from a concoction of pea protein, rice and soy in an attempt to recreate its flaky texture.<\/p>\n
The Asian-inspired restaurant also took a swing at recreating their own version of the classic takeaway chip, by combining red onion and sweet potato chunks.<\/p>\n
The imitation of the British takeaway staple did not stop there, as the chain also re-imagined the trimmings, smashing edamame beans as a unique take on mushy peas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
