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 love hapa, we have been coming here for years. We are sad with the new menu though. We miss the teriyaki salmon and the terriyaki tofu And the udon soup which on a cold night has been one of our faves for years. The new ramen is just not the same and it’s not even on the dinner menu. The new tofu on the menu is too spicy and too sweet and not as good as the teriyaki nor the yakiniku which was too spicy for me but my friends loved it. Please bring back our old favorites, it is what kept us coming here for the past decade almost weekly.

    This was our third year for the Feasr of the Seven Fishes (Christmas Eve). We love the tradition and the food, service and ambience were great. The only (small) negative was the music- techno club music was loud and not a great backdrop to a Christmas Eve meal. Everything else was fantastic!

    Amazing experience! Started with the prosciutto, a pinot grigio, and had the tagliatelle, followed by the torta. It was all so wonderful! HIGHLY recommend the tagliatelle!! I sat at the bar, where Caesar waited on me, and he was exceptional. Highly attentive but not over-bearing; he was personable and friendly. I loved the ambiance as well. It should also be said, Caesar went above and beyond, and is an expert in his craft! Make a reservation, and you will not be disappointed.
