Hatoba

Meaning “wharf” in Japanese, Hatoba is serving up Hawaiian-Japanese dishes that can be enjoyed indoors or along the Anacostia River. The restaurant recently released a new menu featuring coconut shrimp with honey-coconut sauce and steamed broccoli, pulled pork sliders on King's Hawaiian Rolls, and a vegetarian Caesar salad with rice crisps, pecorino, black garlic dressing, and nori.

Part of the Daikaya restaurant group, Hatoba has moved away from its ramen focus and introduced a menu leaning on Hawaiian favorites—think loco moco, kalua pork, and ahi tuna poke. If you’re looking for a quick snack and a drink before gametime, small plates like spam musubi and furikake chex mix are welcome menu additions alongside tropical drinks or a cold Sapporo.
