Alan Yau set Wagamama up, turned it into a commercial succes then flogged it to fund Busaba.
It apparently went to hell in a hand basket at that point, as they moved production of the food from each branch to a central factory type operation, cut costs and so forth.
Say what you like about Alan Yau but he has a keen instinct for making money from good food- Busaba is good value for good food at the end of the day.
Hakkasan, Yuatcha and so forth are all good.
That the management style of these places leaves something to be desired- well, the customer never sees that.
