Wagamama Kids Chicken Yaki Soba

Wagamama kids chicken yaki soba costs £6.50 and carries 399 kcal, and it exists for one very specific customer: the child who refuses soup. Stir fried noodles come tossed with chicken, egg, mangetout, peppers and sweetcorn in the sweet amai sauce, a dry bowl with no broth to negotiate and no spoon required.

Flavour wise this is the easiest sell on the kids menu. The amai sauce reads as sweet and sour, close cousin to the sauces most children already accept from a takeaway, and the egg scrambled through the noodles softens everything into comfort food. The vegetables are cut into the stir fry rather than served alongside, which works both ways: some children eat peppers for the first time this way, and dedicated pickers will excavate every piece with forensic patience. Heat is zero; sweetness does all the talking.

The kids chicken yaki soba calories land around a fifth of an adult's 2,000 kcal reference day, with around 18 g of protein and around 10 g of sugar from the sauce. Salt sits near 1.5 g, roughly half what the kids ramen bowls carry, which makes this the pick when salt is the number you watch. Against the rest of the kids list it costs slightly less than the katsu and ramen chicken dishes while eating like a proper adult style plate, a scaled down cousin of the yaki soba on the main menu at less than half the size.

Allergens run to gluten, wheat, egg and soya with no published may contain entries, and the shared kitchen rule applies for medical allergies as it does across every wagamama site. Parents totting up the bill and asking how much is the kids chicken yaki soba will find it undercuts the kids katsu by a small margin, useful across a family order. Korean fried chicken bao buns keep the grown ups on theme beside it, and a strawberry spritz makes the whole thing feel like an occasion without another salty dish landing on the table.
