Wagamama Lunch Menu, Deals & Discounts (2026)

What Is the Wagamama Lunch Deal?

The Wagamama lunch deal costs £12 and includes one main dish plus a drink or coffee. It’s available Monday to Friday, 11am–3pm, across UK branches (prices may vary slightly by location — see our lunch deal locations guide for branch-specific details).

It’s a straightforward swap for the usual rushed desk lunch: instead of a packaged sandwich, you get a freshly cooked bowl — ramen, donburi, noodles, or salad — made with Wagamama’s usual ingredients, at a fixed weekday price.

What’s Included in the £12 Lunch Deal?

The lunch menu draws from Wagamama’s core categories, with a rotating selection available at the £12 price point:

• Ramen bowls — rich broth, noodles, and a choice of chicken, pork, prawn, or vegetarian toppings
• Donburi rice bowls — protein and vegetables over steamed rice
• Noodle dishes — lighter stir-fried options
• Salads — including the Thai-style beef salad, a popular lunchtime pick
• A drink or coffee — included in the £12 price

Is the Lunch Deal Good Value?

At £12, it sits a little above a basic supermarket meal deal, but the comparison isn’t really fair — you’re getting a freshly cooked dish, a generous portion, and a drink included, rather than pre-packaged food. Compared to ordering the same dishes off the full evening menu, the lunch deal typically saves several pounds per visit (see our lunch deal vs. full menu comparison for a full breakdown).

Students can often combine this with Wagamama’s UNiDAYS discount — see our student lunch deal guide for how the two stack.

Why Wagamama’s Lunch Format Works

Wagamama built the lunch deal around a simple idea: lunch shouldn’t feel like a rushed chore. The shared-bench, open-kitchen format means you can sit down properly, even solo, and get a full meal without the wait times of a full dinner service. It’s a straightforward way to get a proper break in the middle of a workday, rather than eating at a desk.

Is the Wagamama Lunch Menu Halal?

Wagamama doesn’t hold halal certification at any UK branch, so the lunch menu isn’t certified halal either. Some vegetarian and vegan dishes are considered halal-friendly by many Muslim diners, though not certified — see our full halal guide for the complete breakdown, including which dishes to be cautious with.
