"Daikaya Group’s Hatoba serves Japanese/Hawaiian fare in an old boilermaker building in Navy Yard. Chef Katsuya Fukushima grew up eating both styles of food, as his mother is from Okinawa, Japan and his father is from the Big Island in Hawaii. Along with Sapporo ramen, Hatoba’s menu hosts small plates inspired by classic Hawaiian dishes, like Spam musubi, salmon and tuna poke, and pulled pork sliders. Here, the Spam musubi is classic — served with teriyaki sauce and nori furikake. With limited availability each day, patrons should plan to arrive early to sample this little delicacy. Price: $4.50 per piece" - Abi Newhouse
"The best part of Hatoba by Daikaya, a Hawaiian-Japanese restaurant in Navy Yard, is the venue. The restaurant is large enough to comfortably seat a big group but still feels warm enough to deliver an intimate vibe—a great place for after-work drinks with coworkers or friends. As soon as you walk in, you'll be inundated by color thanks to the yellow and orange furniture. There are dozens of lanterns hanging from the front window, and a large TV screen at the front of the restaurant that livestreams endless footage from the streets of Japan. Skip the over-seasoned appetizers here and go straight to the mains—our favorites are the tomato curry (the only vegetarian option on the menu), the butter mochi, and the red-bean ice cream." - Omnia Saed
"Hatoba, Daikaya Group’s 4-year-old destination for Sapporo-style ramen bowls like tomato curry and red miso clam, has closed." - Tierney Plumb
"Navy Yard’s recently reopened Japanese restaurant now has a bonafide bar area, where patrons can gulp its new Ocean Water cocktail on draft (rum, vodka, Curacao, pineapple, lemon and lime) for $12. “Slightly carbonated, very refreshing, and very crushable,” says manager Brian Marvel." - Tierney Plumb
"The furikake Chex mix at Daikaya’s newly reopened Hatoba in Navy Yard is an ode the sweet-and-salty childhood favorite its partner Katsuya Fukushima used to eat growing up in Hawaii ($4)." - Tierney Plumb
