Wagamama Restaurant Brand Moving U.S. HQ To FL

TAMPA, FL — Wagamama, a global restaurant brand known for a modern take on Asian cuisine, is moving its U.S. headquarters from New York City to Florida.

Its new Tampa address, starting Dec. 1, will be at 1408 N. Westshore Blvd., Suite 200. The new office will staff 15 to 20 employees.

The new headquarters is part of “the company’s next phase of strategic growth,” according to a news release.

The move builds on Wagamama’s presence in the Tampa Bay area after it opened its Water Street Tampa location in early 2023. This was the company’s first restaurant in Florida.

“Relocating to Tampa positions us for long-term growth,” Stephen Judge, CEO of Wagamama USA, said. “It allows us to continue building a world-class team and strengthen the foundations required for disciplined expansion.”

Judge joined the company within the last year. During this time, Suk Singh was also named the chief development officer to lead U.S. site strategy and growth.

The modern pan-Asian restaurant brand, founded in London in 1992, operates seven restaurants in the U.S., including three in New York City, two in Boston, and one in Arlington, Virginia, in addition to the Tampa location.
