Hamayuu is a compact Japanese restaurant on Watergate Street for sushi, sashimi, ramen, katsu curry, donburi, bento boxes, gyoza, tempura, vegan options, bookings and takeaway when service allows.
What it's like
Hamayuu is the Watergate Street Japanese restaurant that rewards a little planning. It is small, central and food-focused: sushi, ramen, katsu, donburi, bento, tempura, gyoza and enough vegan options to make the menu useful for mixed tables.
Compact Japanese, book at peaks
The best use is a calm lunch or dinner, then Watergate Street afterwards if the evening wants more noise. It is not a big-room safety net for a vague group wandering in at peak time.
Worth knowing
Hamayuu is strongest when you respect its size. Book, order properly, and let it be a good Japanese meal rather than forcing it to absorb every loose Watergate Street plan.
