Today, wagamama is opening its third New York City location. The new location is in the heart of the city just a few blocks from Grand Central Station. wagamama is a popular British chain of Asian restaurants that began in the UK over 20 years ago. Its humble beginnings spawned a massive empire of over 120 locations spread out over 20 countries. Prior to the official grand opening, we had the honor of attending an exclusive dinner at the new Murray Hill location. The evening was hosted by Executive Chef Steven Mangleshot with special guest, vegan chef Gaz Oakley.
