Welp We Never Got Ours (Washington DC) but “Wagamama, the iconic global restaurant brand offering modern Asian cuisine, opens on August 2 in Clarendon”


2950 Clarendon Boulevard

Oh what could have been

From an email:

“I’m excited to share that wagamama Arlington will FINALLY open its doors in the heart of Clarendon next month! The UK-born, full-service Asian restaurant will make its long-awaited debut in the DMV – marking its 8th location in the US.

Opening festivities kick off on August 1 with a private, ticketed grand opening celebration, and the first day of dinner service beginning the following day on August 2.

During opening weekend, wagamama will be open Friday, August 2 from 4-11 p.m.; Saturday, August 3 from 4-11 p.m.; and Sunday, August 4 from 4-10 p.m. Starting Monday, August 5, wagamama Clarendon will open for lunch and dinner daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.”

Congrats to Clarendon. The saga of a Wagamama coming to Penn Quarter was one of hope, tears, anguish, hope and ultimately tears. Bring back Olson’s some shout! Some of us are old. Some of us have no idea what we’re talking about. This is all true. And so chapter twelve begins…
