wagamama aberdeen

You know that spot on the upper level of Union Square where you can actually hear yourself think? That's wagamama, and it's been quietly serving some of the most consistent Asian food in the city centre for years. The long communal tables might feel a bit corporate, but the kitchen knows what it's doing – their chicken katsu curry remains absolutely faultless, and the yasai pad thai has converted more than a few Aberdeen carnivores. The service moves at proper pace here, which is exactly what you want when you're either shopping or trying to grab dinner before catching a film downstairs. Yes, it's a chain, but it's the kind of reliable option that Union Square desperately needed. The gyoza are properly crispy, the ramen broths have actual depth, and they'll sort you out whether you're flying solo or feeding the whole family.
