I've never reviewed anything on Yelp but I had such a great time at this restaurant that I felt compelled to write.
VIbe: I loved the vibe! Classy, sexy friendly and professional. As a new joint, this group is working hard to carve out a top-notch reputation.
Food: Very well executed with flavour profiles that should please a broad audience. Here's what the four in our party ordered:
Halibut Taco - must try
Beef Short Ribs - must try
Ebi Mayo - if the batter can be a bit crisper it would be a must try
Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps - must try
Spicy Pork Ishi-yaki - must try
Sockeye Salmon Sashimi - must try
Chicken Karaage - again, needs to be crisper
Drinks: You must order the Red Dragon shots! The sake in the bamboo flasks is a cool presentation.
I just love the energy of Hapa...this place is my new favourite chillax-with-friends spot!
