HAMAYA Restaurant
07781 26, Gangseo-ro 10-gil, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, 1st floor, right side
"A cozy and hearty rice bowl place like home, HAMAYA" HAMAYA is a rice bowl restaurant with a frequently changing menu, making it an exciting place to discover what dishes will be available each day. Based on the original review, I had the shrimp and vegetable stir-fry rice bowl and the squid rice bowl, both generously topped, making one bowl quite filling. Orders are placed in advance, and cutlery and water can be accessed from a self-service bar. Rice refills are available, and used dishes are returned at the designated area, ensuring a smooth flow. The space may be small, but the handwritten menu and charming atmosphere create a comfortable place to stay. The flavors are not overly stimulating and feel quite homey, with the shrimp being plump and the vegetables fresh. The squid rice bowl has a moderate spiciness and a hint of smoky flavor, though the pepper taste was quite strong. It’s a great spot to casually stop by when you're craving a satisfying meal.
