These very nice people were admitted into the Funky Ladles circle of positive vibes, yesterday. Joselyn and "Kirry"(his already newly coined nickname)..could not be a more friendly and deserving pair of brains behind this concept. They will have the full support of Funky Ladles.

Psyched! I love WagaMama!

We are getting some really great eateries in Kent!

It just keeps getting better and better to be in Kent!! All the years we have had to wait for different dining options in Kent are finally paying off

This is good news - we've been craving noodles and the only place nearby I've found is Noodle Cat, downtown Cleveland - so this place will be fairly unique to the Kent area.

Great to get an Osoba place downtown. Now all we need is an Indian eatery.

I was hoping for a noodle joint! What a great fit for Kent.

Wagamama rocks. Great to hear that this will be the model.

I've been to Wagamama near Piccadilly in London and I loved it. I am very happy to hear that this place is opening.

What kind of noodles will they offer?

What William said. I mean really. How much more explanation is necessary??

According to the article, the menu will be styled after Wagamama. Here's a potion of their menu, just for an idea - beyond just saying "noodles"...

Did it open?

My husband and I were in with some friends on Friday night - the experience was not good. Some may be attributable to the newness, but some really cannot given the experience of the owner and manager above. We waited over two hours and did not get our food, we ended up leaving for Pufferbelly instead. Too bad, eagerly awaiting opening: 1) We asked for the progress of our food 45min and 1 hour after ordering, and did not get a response from our server, we then asked the GM (above) at the 75min after, we were assured that we would have food “20 minutes out” (exact quote from the GM), 2) at that time, the GM offered us a round of free drinks and 50% off of our food bill, 3) only 4 (out of 6) ordered drinks, instead, we asked for something from the sushi bar as we were all starving at 90 min, we were told that we would have to pay for them at 50% off, 4) we ordered one each of The California and Fresh Alaska rolls, but they used smoked salmon in the Fresh Alaska, 5) GM was spotted sitting at the end of the row of booths by the wall playing with a customer's baby, several times, 6) at 105min after, the waitress came out to tell us that one of our orders was no longer available, 6) we asked to leave about two hours ordering, the GM (after being seated and playing with said baby several times) let us leave without paying for about $60 worth of drinks and sushi, 7) the waitress was sent to handle most of the issues at our table and was caught in a bad situation, tipped $10.
