"Noodle house chain brings buzz to Boston" An excerpt with an Arlington connection: Elaine Fox, of Arlington, mother of Stephanie, 12, and Alexandra, 10, took her daughters to a wagamama in London's Covent Garden three years ago. They were all won over. "The girls weren't very fond of the food in London," says Fox. The family was staying for six weeks, while her husband, Patrick, was on business. After the first visit to the noodle house, they returned often, sampling fare at many London locations.
When they were back home in Arlington, the girls e - mailed the company encouraging it to come to Boston. "We thought Faneuil Hall and Harvard Square would be a perfect place," says their mother. When it was time to present location ideas to Lion Capital, says House, wagamama officials read aloud the girls' e - mail. As it happens, the Quincy Market location will be followed by another next summer on JFK Street in Cambridge.
Last week, when the Foxes went in to Boston to sample food in a dummy run, they were greeted like stars by the management. "My girls think the whole reason [the restaurant is] here is because of them," says their mother.
The managers didn't exactly disagree. Current Mood:  excited
