Wagamama ramen: compare calories, protein and salt together
The standard grilled chicken ramen lists 498 kcal, 35.7 g protein and 6.3 g salt. Chilli chicken ramen is 589 kcal, 37.9 g protein and 7.7 g salt; the full named recipe matters.
Start with the named bowl, including its broth
Wagamama’s standard grilled chicken ramen lists 498 kcal and 35.7 g protein. Chilli chicken ramen lists 589 kcal and 37.9 g protein. The latter adds 91 kcal and 2.2 g protein in these published recipes; “chicken ramen” alone is not specific enough for an accurate log.

Calories do not predict the salt ranking
Grilled chicken has 6.3 g salt in the source, chilli chicken 7.7 g, tantanmen beef brisket 6.5 g and kare burosu 5.1 g. The lowest-calorie bowl in this set does not have the lowest salt figure. These are recipe comparisons, not a score of which dish is healthier overall.
For a common sodium display, 6.3 g salt corresponds to 2,520 mg sodium using salt grams × 1,000 ÷ 2.5. That is a salt-equivalent calculation. Wagamama separately reports 2.5 g sodium for this bowl, or 2,500 mg. Independently rounded salt and sodium need not convert to precisely the same number; the separately published sodium value is retained in the food record.
Do you finish the broth?
The restaurant supplies a whole-dish value, not a separate laboratory value for noodles, toppings and broth. Leaving broth can change what you consume, but we cannot calculate the exact salt reduction from these totals. Do not divide the bowl’s salt in half merely because half the broth remains: the ingredients do not necessarily contain salt evenly.
The gluten-free-menu row is another build
The separately listed grilled chicken ramen on the gluten-free menu is 494 kcal, 28.4 g protein and 2.5 g salt. Those values differ materially from the standard recipe. Select the corresponding row only when that is the dish ordered; do not quietly average the two or call the standard dish allergy-safe.

Log extras separately
Extra noodles, egg, meat, sides or drinks change the meal. The table is one named bowl and no extra components. Northern Ireland has a separate menu link, so do not assume this main-menu snapshot establishes the recipe in every UK restaurant.
