Why Choose Wagamama Gyoza

Wagamama gyoza are iconic pan-Asian dumplings that have become one of the most popular starters and small plates across the UK menu.

Health Benefits of Wagamama Gyoza

Gyoza can fit into a balanced diet when chosen and consumed thoughtfully. Vegetable and steamed gyoza are comparatively lower in calories and fat, offering plant fibre and micronutrients without excessive energy load. The inclusion of lean protein (such as in chicken, beef, or duck gyoza) can support satiety and metabolic needs. Even where fried preparations are used, moderating portion size and choosing lighter dips or steaming methods helps manage overall calories and fat intake.

Wagamama gyoza offer a perfect balance of flavour, texture, and variety, making them an essential part of the dining experience. Whether you prefer classic vegetable fillings, rich duck gyoza, or bold, modern flavours, there is something to suit every taste.
