No Wagamama for Philly (yet)
 |
The other day, we were thinking about the long-standing rumor, set off by this 2008 Philadelphia Business Journal article, that the UK-based Wagamama noodle bar chain was hunting for a Philly location. So we decided to drop the company, which currently has three U.S. locations in Boston, a quick line. Right now, a rep tells Meal Ticket, the restaurant is focusing on opening its fourth Stateside spot in Washington D.C. in May 2010 � no Philly news to report as of right now. They do promise national expansion in the near future, though, so udon heads should hold out hope.
NOOOO!!!! Wagamama was one of my favorite places to eat in the U.K. - their ginger cheesecake is DUH BOMBBB!
[...] Wah! No Wagamama for us, at least not yet says Meal Ticket. The next Wagamama is set for May 2010 in Washington D.C. [Meal Ticket] [...]
I can only hope the UK chains do a better job than tho ones in Boston. The Wagamama in Harvard Square was responsible for probably the worst meal I ate last year--just awful from start to finish. And expensive, to boot! I thank the stars Philly is being spared.
