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 you will find our menu innovative, uninhibited, and distinctly fun!

Authentic Mexican and Spanish cuisine with a fine dining quality to it was a unique and exceptional experience. This will be a must go to spot for years to come. The ceviche stole the show and the wait staff was attentive and super helpful offering suggestions and sharing knowledge of each dish.
