First time dining here and couldn’t have left happier. This restaurant is by far the best traditional Japanese restaurant we have tried. The sushi was so fresh and soft it melted in my mouth. Tonkotsu ramen was to die for!

Incredible, great atmosphere and food is even better, you can even elect to sit on a low table on the floor which is cool and adds to the experience.I had a katsu curry bento box so I could sample a few things, absolutely deliciousCan’t think of a single thing wrong, if anything, the prices are a bit on the low side for the excellent service, food, and qualityVegetarian options: Lots of veggie sushi and curry’s

Been several times and it never disappoints. I’ve a lot of items of their menu and my favourites are the bento boxes, the sushi selection and the ramen. The takoyaky and the karagee chicken are also some must haves when coming to this place. The staff is always delightful and ready to help without ever being intrusive.

We went to Hamayu for a birthday dinner tonight. The prices were reasonable but the service was really appalling.When we got there, we told a staff member we had a reservation for two at 7:30pm, but it seemed like she didn't know about it. We ordered food at 7:34pm, and food came quickly. The sushi was ok.After we finished eating, the same staff member took our plates away and asked if we wanted dessert. We said no, as we were full. But then she put our bill on the table without saying a word. A little while later, she brought a payment machine and asked us to pay at about 8:10 pm.(Given that they close at 9pm. If they consider 7:30pm too late for arrival, they shouldn't have accepted my booking.)There were other customers too, but they weren't given their bills. Another couple who came after us had no issues.My partner and I were surprised because we had only been there for 40 minutes. We wanted to relax and chat over tea, then we requested to pay later. I used to love coming to Hamayu, but this was my worst experience there. Spending over £40 on dinner, being handed the receipt and asked to pay just 40 minutes after arriving felt disrespectful.After reading other reviews, I wonder if discrimination played a part in this.Overall, the food was ok and prices were fair, but the bad service ruined the experience for us. I used to love Hamayu, but I'm not sure if I'll go back after this.

Stunning food! The vegetable tempura skewers were so flavourful and held their crispiness. Highly recommend the vegetable gyozas too and the tonkatsu ramen was incredible. The interior is also beautiful with gentle lighting and the staff are very friendly.

Staff are lovely. Food is amazing every time. Prices are very reasonable. You can even buy Japanese snacks here. Very much authentic and we are lucky to have this close by.
