Wagamama Kids Chicken Ramen

Wagamama kids chicken ramen costs £6.70 and carries 365 kcal, a scaled down noodle soup that hands a child the same sort of bowl the adults are leaning over. Noodles sit in a chicken broth under sliced chicken, carrots, sweetcorn and pea shoots, with nothing sharp, nothing spicy and nothing that needs negotiating.

The quiet headline is protein: around 28 g, the most of any main on the kids menu and more than either kids katsu manages. The broth is mild and savoury, closer to a good chicken soup than anything challenging, and the toppings are the holy trinity of child approved vegetables. Half the fun is the format itself; a bowl you are allowed to slurp beats a plate you are told to finish, and the kids chicken ramen trades on that daily.

One number needs a parent's attention. The bowl carries around 3 g of salt, which is the entire daily amount the NHS sets for children aged four to six, and almost all of it lives in the broth. The fix is easy and worth saying out loud: let them eat the noodles, chicken and vegetables and treat the broth as optional rather than a challenge to drain. The kids chicken ramen calories are gentle by contrast, under a fifth of an adult's 2,000 kcal reference day, and the bowl runs to roughly half the size of the adult grilled chicken ramen it clearly descends from.

Allergen wise the sheet lists gluten, wheat, egg and soya, with no published may contain entries, though the shared kitchen caveat applies to every wagamama dish when a medical allergy is in play. Parents checking how much is the kids chicken ramen will find it shares the top kids menu price with the chicken katsu plates, and the board at London and airport sites reads slightly higher. The bowl arrives hot, so build in five minutes of cooling time for small children. Duck gyoza keep the adults busy during exactly that wait, and a peach iced tea rounds out the order without adding another salty dish to the table.
