The name Hapa is derived from the Hawaiian term that describes a harmonious blend of Asian and American cultures. Like our name, our food reflects this dynamic combination. The menu is based on traditional Japanese cooking fundamentals which are then amplified, muted, or mixed with influences from many different styles of cooking until they are something completely new: they're Hapa. We have stretched the boundaries of creativity to develop dishes that defy all the rules while holding true to our roots. We hope that you will find our menu innovative, uninhibited, and distinctly fun! Incomplete parties will not be sat until complete.

    We went to the Kitchen for a business dinner - 9 of us. I love the family style serving and Nicole (who was our server) did an amazing job walking us through the menu and helping us out. The carrots, and the pork belly are favorites of the team.

    Everything was a delight. Our favorites were the Ny strip taco and the sweet potato appetizer (spicy!) but the caesar was also a fun surprise. It was big and had more of a honey mustard dressing with a caesar tang but still delicious.

    Been going to Salt for over a decade. Never disappoints. This was a first date, I recommend seating in the cellar, quiet and intimate. Shared mussels, scallops, and a salad. Also split a steak with garlic mashers. All excellent. Ordered a bottle of wine from the by the glass menu and it was delicious.
