The Hapa G ramen was amazing! We also got the karage chicken and added that to the ramen and that was excellent. Sage was our waiter and he had excellent recommendations and went above and beyond.

We had to wait for about 15-20 minutes for our reserved table for 4, and in addition to the wait time, the hostess kept calling me Stan, even though the reservation was under my name, Rob). Our server, Eric, was apologetic for the kitchen staff who were clearly overwhelmed because our appetizers were delayed over 20 minutes and entrees (ramen and poke nachos) were delayed an additional 40 minutes. We had to inquire where our entrees were because it was taking so long. Overall, the food and presentation were good, but the slow service was a turn off and will not return or recommend.

We’ve dined here twice in the last week and plan to work our way through the menu before we head home. It’s that good. The first night we went for happy hour…enjoyed the edamame , ahi poke with wonton chips, the pork belly banh mi & chicken karaage…all delicious!!! We returned and had the curry ramen…also excellent! Service by Anne and Nigel was attentive, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend 👍🏻
