A POPULAR Asian restaurant chain is set to open a new location in a Scottish city.
Wagamama will open its first restaurant in Dundee on August 19, giving the chain a total of 10 venues across Scotland following the opening of the St Enoch’s Centre site in Glasgow earlier this year.
The new restaurant will serve all of the wagamama classics such as chicken katsu and ramen on its 50% plant-based menu.
It will also feature the chain’s new summer menu which includes new sides, mains, desserts and even a "pad thai sour" cocktail, inspired by the iconic Thai dish.

The restaurant will be located on Whitehall Street in the centre of the city and will be designed to accommodate 128 covers.
Open seven days a week, it’s expected to create 60 new jobs, bringing wagamama’s total to 167 restaurants across the UK.
“We are so excited to open the doors to our brand-new restaurant in Scotland,” said Milly Pearson, regional marketing manager at wagamama.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
