  • I've yet to experience the Hapas in Vancouver, so I can't really compare it to anything other than izakayas either here in North America or those in Japan, which is kind of unfair and also somewhat pointless as the idea is to review this establishment alone, for its own merits, right? I checked out Hapa the first weekend of its opening and I liked it a lot. Considering it had just opened here, there was little in the way of any noticeable snags which can often happen when a place first opens its doors. Good to know that an already-established chain has got it together. Upon entering, one feels like they've just entered some hip place: the music, decor, vibe, and the crowd...all positives. Service was good, though we did have one waitress who was inexperienced and a little too chatty for our hungry bellies, but there was no lack of effort there. We ordered everything off their menu, which I can't say is the most intriguing and lacks any real originality or excitement but hopefully this will change over time as they fine-tune things along the way? Prices were about $5 and up for tapas portions. I avoided things like kimchee and edamame, and my favourite item on the menu was their black cod. The skin was perfectly crispy and the flesh fell apart with the slightest nudge of the chopsticks. The size was rather small for ~$11 but still very delicious. Their ebi mayo was also decent: eight succulent shrimp battered and fried, then smothered in a mildly sweet/spicy mayo. It's not something I would normally order but given the choices, it was one of only a few things that stood out. Oh, and their cocktails were great! Located in Coco Lezzone's old spot in Little Italy, Hapa is definitely worth a try and I am sure they will be around for a while. They seem to offer something a little different from the rest of the izakayas around town in terms of the vibe mostly (AND they take reservations!!!), but also its location is ideal for a night out.
