Every figure on this page is taken from the nutrition information Wagamama publishes for each dish on its official UK website, checked on 26 September 2026. This is an independent guide, not Wagamama’s own site. Figures are per dish as served, and recipes can change, so check the official menu or ask in restaurant if an exact number matters to you.

Wagamama Calories Overview (All Categories)

Here’s how each part of the menu compares. The ranges come from every dish Wagamama currently lists in that category.

The pattern: ramen is the lowest-calorie main category on average and curries are the highest. Every curry on the menu comes in at 988 kcal or more, because each one is served with a full portion of rice plus a rich sauce, and the katsu versions are also breaded and fried.

Wagamama Ramen Calories

Ramen is where most of Wagamama’s lower-calorie mains are. The two chicken ramens are the lightest mains on the whole menu and among the best for protein. Ramen broth is salty, though: every bowl has at least 4.9g of salt. See every bowl in detail on our Wagamama ramen menu page.

Wagamama Katsu Curry & Curry Calories

Wagamama’s curries are the most calorie-dense part of the menu, averaging about 1,156 kcal. The famous Chicken Katsu Curry is actually the lightest curry at 988 kcal, with 43.9g of protein. The spicier “hot” versions add more than 100 kcal, and the firecracker curries are the heaviest. See all of them on our Wagamama curries page.

Chicken vs yasai katsu: if you’re choosing the vegetable katsu to save calories, it doesn’t. The Yasai Katsu Curry is 1,223 kcal, which is 235 kcal more than the Chicken Katsu Curry, and it has 21.5g of protein compared with 43.9g.

Wagamama Donburi & Rice Bowl Calories

Donburi rice bowls average about 857 kcal. The two new rice bowls from the summer 2026 menu are the lightest options. The grilled duck donburi is the only one over 1,000 kcal, but it also has the most protein (53.9g). More detail is on our Wagamama donburi menu page.

Wagamama Noodle (Teppanyaki) Calories

Teppanyaki noodle dishes range from 638 to 994 kcal. The Yasai Yaki Soba is noticeably lighter with udon or rice noodles than in its mushroom version, and the Steak Teriyaki Soba has the most protein (49.5g). See the full range on our Wagamama teppanyaki menu page.

Wagamama doesn’t currently publish full nutrition figures for the Katsu Udon (848 kcal), so its other columns show n/a.

High-Protein Wagamama Meals

These are the 21 mains with 30g of protein or more, from highest to lowest. For a lighter high-protein meal, look at the ratio column: it shows how much protein each dish gives you for its calories. There are more ideas on our higher-protein Wagamama choices page.

Protein per 100 kcal ranking

This ranking divides each main’s protein by its calories. A higher number means more protein for fewer calories. It’s the most useful number if you’re tracking calories and trying to hit a protein target.

Takeaway: the Grilled Chicken Ramen (34.8g protein, 456 kcal) and Chilli Chicken Ramen (37.3g, 541 kcal) give the most protein for their calories on the whole menu. As a side, edamame (24g protein, 280 kcal) is the best option for protein. The lowest-protein mains are the vegan Yasai Yaki Soba with rice noodles (16.9g) and the yasai katsu curries (21.5–22.5g).

Wagamama Sides, Gyoza & Bao Calories

Sides range from under 200 kcal to as much as a small main. Watch the fried chicken and bao buns in particular: the hot honey fried chicken (786–842 kcal) has as many calories as a full teppanyaki main. Browse them all on our sides, gyoza and bao page.

Hidden Calories: Sauces & Extras

Extras can add a surprising amount. An extra pot of katsu curry sauce adds 227 kcal, which is more than a portion of chicken gyoza.

Wagamama Lunch Wrap & Lunch Box Calories

The lunch-to-go formats added in June 2026 range from 466 to 800 kcal. For lunch deal dishes and prices, see our Wagamama lunch menu guide.

Buldak & New Menu Item Calories

Wagamama’s limited-time collaboration with Korean hot-sauce brand Buldak adds two dishes. Buldak Fire Wings are 780 kcal with 68.6g of protein, which is more protein than any main on the menu. Buldak Bibimbap is 1,012 kcal with 38.8g of protein. The summer 2026 menu also added the Chicken + Prawn Turmeric Rice Bowl (677 kcal), the Gochujang Salmon Rice Bowl (786 kcal) and the Signature Seafood Ramen (974 kcal). Follow every addition and removal on our Wagamama menu changes log.

Highest Calorie Dishes at Wagamama

1. Hot Yasai Katsu Curry: 1,350 kcal (68% of 2,000 kcal)
2. Tofu Firecracker: 1,252 kcal (63% of 2,000 kcal)
3. Chicken Firecracker: 1,239 kcal (62% of 2,000 kcal)
4. Yasai Katsu Curry: 1,223 kcal (61% of 2,000 kcal)
5. Prawn Firecracker: 1,139 kcal (57% of 2,000 kcal)

Simple Calorie Swaps

Wagamama Salt Content

Calories aren’t the only number worth checking. UK guidance says adults should have no more than 6g of salt a day, and several Wagamama mains reach that in a single dish:

The lower-calorie ramens aren’t low in salt either. The Grilled Chicken Ramen has 4.9g and the Chilli Chicken Ramen 5.7g, mostly from the broth. If you’re watching salt, leaving some of the broth will help.

Vegan & Vegetarian Calories

Plant-based doesn’t automatically mean lower in calories at Wagamama. Three of the four highest-calorie mains are vegan curries. These are the vegan mains, from lowest to highest calories. Find more on our Wagamama vegan menu and vegetarian options pages.

The best vegan choice for protein is the Kare Burosu Ramen (30g protein, 706 kcal). The vegan sides with the most protein are the two edamame dishes, with about 24g each.

Wagamama Gluten-Free Menu Calories

Wagamama publishes a separate gluten-free menu. Most gluten-free versions have exactly the same calories as the standard dishes, but three ramens and one side are different:

Dishes with the same calories on both menus include the raisukaree and firecracker curries, the chicken, beef and duck donburi, both new rice bowls, edamame, wok-fried greens, spicy smashed cucumber, the corn ribs, and the miso caramel ice cream, coconut reika and chocolate brownie desserts. Gluten-free dishes are prepared without gluten-containing ingredients, but always tell your server about coeliac disease or any allergy, and see our gluten-free menu guide and allergen guide.

Wagamama Drinks Calories

Drinks can add as many calories as a side. A regular Coke (139 kcal, 35g sugar) or a fresh juice (120–139 kcal) adds almost as much as wok-fried greens. The zero-sugar drinks, water, green tea and espresso are all under 5 kcal. Wagamama doesn’t publish nutrition figures for its alcoholic drinks (cocktails, wine, beer and sake), so they’re not listed. For the full drinks list, see our Wagamama drinks menu.

Wagamama Kids Menu Calories

Kids’ mains have roughly a third to a half of the calories of adult mains. The lightest are the yasai ramens made with rice or udon noodles (295 kcal), and the mini chicken ramen has the most protein (27.9g). Full details, including prices, are in our Wagamama kids menu guide.

Wagamama Dessert Calories

Popcorn affogato (225 kcal) and banana katsu (327 kcal) are the lightest desserts. The ube + cherry bao nut (533 kcal) is the heaviest.

Is Wagamama Healthy?

It depends on what you order. That’s why this guide sticks to published figures rather than labelling dishes “healthy”. Wagamama has broth-based chicken ramens under 550 kcal with more than 34g of protein. It also has ten mains over 1,000 kcal, including some vegan curries, and six mains with 6g of salt or more. If you have a medical or dietary condition, get advice from a qualified professional.

How These Figures Are Checked

Every figure here was taken from the per-serving nutrition information on Wagamama’s official UK website (wagamama.com/menu) on 26 September 2026. Protein-per-100-kcal figures and meal totals are our own calculations from those numbers. Percentages are worked out against the 2,000 kcal daily reference that Wagamama prints on its menu, and the salt reference is the UK’s 6g daily maximum for adults. Large food businesses in England have been required to show calories on their menus since April 2022. Northern Ireland, airport and delivery menus can differ. Read our full nutrition methodology, and if you find a figure that’s changed, please tell us through our corrections page.
