Wagamama says hello on 3rd Avenue

Yesterday, workers dropped the plywood at 55 Third Ave. at 11th Street... revealing [drumrolling]...



Wagamama/ramen coming soon signage...



As previously reported, Wagamama, the London-based chain of Japanese restaurants, is opening an East Village location. This will be the second Wagamama in NYC; the company has nearly 150 worldwide. There isn't any mention of an opening date just yet on the Wagamama website or social media properties. (They are currently hiring cooks and servers.)

Updated noon: A tipster says they are shooting for an October opening.

You can find their menu full of noodles, rice and curry (and more) here.

...and, as a bonus, right around the corner on 11th Street — the finished M-A-R-T-I-N-A...

I went to a Wagamama in Stockholm several years ago and though it was really expensive especially compared to the sadly closing Republic. Please keep in mind this is a "chain" restaurant and there are lots of independent asian food restaurants in the immediate area. Shop local.

Martina, from the outside - reminds me of a car body shop/garage.
