We celebrated a friends birthday at Happa on Saturday night, and with a party of 10 you never know what to expect (forced set menus, frustrated servers etc.) We were pleasantly surprised to be seated at a cozy table for 10, and the servers were attentive and friendly! Our water and teas were always filled to the brim- and for my friends who were drinking- the server recommended some great shots for the table. The food was fantastic, the Waygu steak bites are to die for, as are the Ebi Chili Shrimp. The price point was actually quite impressive. For $50 a person we got a huge variety of Japanese tapas + cocktails and shots for 7/10 people (3 pregnant women not drinking in the group). The server actually grabbed a few other wait staff to deliver a unique birthday desert and energetic version of "Happy Birthday" for our friend, they legitimately seemed happy to help us celebrate.
We had friends who had visited Happa earlier this year and commented that the restaurant has definitely improved, I guess their experience was much better this time around. We will most certainly be back to visit soon!
