Very tasty food with reasonable price. Friendly and great service too. I ordered tempura udon and it came with 3 x prawn tempuras and 3 x pieces maki on the side for 11, great value. Enjoyed roast duck with rice for takeaway too. Highly recommended for quick lunch.

The food here is excellent. Cooked fresh in an open kitchen you can see your dish come together. Large and varied menu so you'll be sure to find something to try! Big portions and fairly priced make this a place definitely worth visiting.

Not only the best Japanese restaurant in the area but in my opinion, one of the best restaurant in the area. Current personal circumstances and a passion for food allowed us to discover restaurants in and around Cheltenham. There are a lot of fantastic places, but most of the time, they come with a huge price tag. The beauty of Wakame is that you get amazing food, great service and a drink without breaking the bank. Their egg fried rice is absolutely delicious( I'm obsessed ), sashimi fresh, and their miso paste homemade. When dining at Wakame you genuinely feel like home. The place is warm, clean and comfy. People are so friendly and accommodating. We love coming back there and are looking forward to the next visit. Thank you Wakame, it's been a pleasure

Not just the best Asian food in Cheltenham, but the best food in Cheltenham. Also the best service in Cheltenham, run by people who actually seem happy to serve you. Loads of great veggie options, all cooked in the open kitchen while you wait. I have never had a bad meal here.

A real local feel. The food was cooked fresh, I saw them batter the prawns themselves. Excellent value. We had 2 starters, soft drinks and 2 ramens for 36. The staff were friendly, kept topping up my water and so caring/attentive. The gyozas were amazing! Will definitely return, 10 out of 10.

Absolutely delicious, kind and friendly service, food piping hot and freshly cooked. Enjoyed mixed tempura, along with laksa curry and chicken chow mein. Thank you and see you again!
