Which Dishes Are Included in the Wagamama £12 Lunch Deal?
A clear breakdown of what’s actually included in Wagamama’s £12 lunch deal — dish categories, examples, and what to expect at your branch.
The £12 lunch deal covers a rotating selection from Wagamama’s core menu categories rather than a single fixed dish list, so what’s available can shift slightly by branch and season. Here’s what to generally expect.
Dish Categories Typically Included
Ramen bowls Broth-based noodle bowls with a choice of chicken, pork, prawn, or vegetarian toppings — usually among the most popular lunch deal picks, since they’re filling without being as heavy as a fried main.
Donburi rice bowls Protein and vegetables served over steamed rice — a straightforward, balanced option if you want something less brothy than ramen.
Noodle dishes Stir-fried noodle options, generally lighter than the rice or ramen bowls.
Salads Asian-inspired salads, including the Thai-style beef salad, which is a popular choice among diners wanting something lighter at lunch.
What’s Not Usually Included
- Starters and small plates (like Bang Bang Cauliflower or gyoza) ordered on their own
- Desserts
- Alcoholic drinks — the included drink is typically a soft drink or coffee
- Some of the larger or premium mains on the evening menu
How to Check What’s Available on the Day
Because the lunch deal selection can vary slightly by branch and by season, the most reliable way to see the exact dishes on offer is to check the menu board or ask staff when you arrive — the categories above are consistent, but specific dishes within them can rotate.
Best Picks If You Want the Most Filling Option
If the goal is maximum value per pound, ramen and donburi bowls tend to be the most substantial choices within the lunch deal, given their combination of protein, carbs, and broth or sauce. For a lighter option, the salads are the better pick. See our Wagamama Calories Guide for a full calorie comparison across dishes.
FAQs
Can I choose any dish on the menu as part of the lunch deal? No — it’s limited to a rotating selection from the ramen, donburi, noodle, and salad categories, rather than the full evening menu.
Are starters or sides included in the £12 price? No, the deal covers one main plus a drink or coffee only.
Does the dish selection change by season? It can — Wagamama periodically updates its menu, so the exact dishes within the lunch deal may shift throughout the year.
