True story: when we spent a year living in London, we ate at Wagamama once a week. For ten pounds (which would have been a lot cheaper if the exchange rate hadn’t been bound and determined to strip us of all our money and/or sanity), one could get a hearty bowl of chicken ramen (the authentic kind, which bears no real resemblance to Oodles of Noodles), two gyoza (dumplings), and a beer. Truly, the lunch or dinner of champions. They also serve a chocolate cake with a wasabi and white chocolate filling that, quite literally, haunts us in our dreams. Imagine our excitement when I learned that the ‘Mama would be opening their first ever North American location in Quincy Market, with a Harvard Square outpost to follow. (Hint: said excitement involved shrieking and sending several frantic text messages.) A post on Craigslist seeking servers and kitchen staff reveals that I only have to wait until April 23 to reunite with Wagamama’s favorable prices and fantastic food. And the countdown begins…
