Sushi
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.

    Hapa is consistently fantastic and I speak from experience having gone there since it opened 17 years ago. I’m a little sad to see them move up the street but time marches on!!! The fish is always excellent and the service is impeccable. Fun “sex rolls” and all the new style apps were amazing. Thank you for always making it a great experience Hapa!!! See you again soon.

    We thoroughly enjoyed a birthday celebration outside on the Hapa patio with awesome outdoor heaters blowing. We arrived for happy hour and took full advantage. Diner warning: even at happy hour a bill can reach the $125 mark easily (we were two adults and one child). However, the sushi is divine and the service was wonderful.

    Sushi was decent. The place was way over packed, service was sub-par. Tables too close together trying to maximize revenue for sure. Just not the right environment for a relaxing meal. Better options out there.

    We had a great Christmas Eve dinner at Hapa. We had to wait a few minutes for our table so they gave us a free edamame. Then an entree was a little delayed & they took it off our bill. Despite the crowds, our waiter was attentive & the manager was going out of his way to make sure everyone had a nice experience. Always impressed with Hapa!

    We had a good time. It was loud. A few food items were described well when we asked questions (like the green top mussels)… had we received accurate info we would not have ordered it. The server was good. However, he left the check and I put down my card and the bill came back $35 higher because he forgot to add drinks. You should inform someone of an error before running their credit card for a higher amount. Not worth $200 for a dinner for two

    Sushi was mediocre at best but the service was good and we had a good date night out despite being disappointed with the sushi. It was a chilly night but the heaters on the patio were sufficient to keep us comfortable. The miso soup came out barely warm, as did the hot sake. Cocktails were good.
