• Sushi • Boulder
Booked 36 times today
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 that you will find our menu innovative, uninhibited, and distinctly fun! Incomplete parties will not be sat until complete.

    We appreciated accommodating my son’s bday dinner inside, as it started raining. The manager said it might be a wait and brought us edamame and gyoza which was a lovely touch. Sushi was especially on point tonight and delicious and our server was attentive. We have been coming here for over a decade and love the new space.

    My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to attend one of this farm dinner after our four children gifted us the two dinner reservations, which you pay in full before the evening of the dinner. Initially they may seem a little bit expensive, but once you've gone through the experience of eating the food and enjoying the views and witnessing/tasting the immense talent that this Chef has, it is completely worth it.....not to mention what a healthy multi course meal you will be getting! The views were beautiful, and the dishes that you will be served will be unlike anything you've probably ever had. Everything is fresh and almost everything is grown right on Farm. Staff are very knowledgeable about everything that they bring out to the guests and provide a great service. If I could make any suggestions, I would say that it would be a good idea after the guests are seated at their table for the staff to let them know about how long they will wait for the courses to start coming out because we were a little uncertain as the minutes went by when to expect a a server to come by or when our food would come. Once we saw how the "flow" worked, it was perfectly fine, we just weren't sure at the very beginning what to expect. Also the chairs could be a little bit more comfortable because they didn't really have any backs other than one bar across the top and it did get a little bit uncomfortable. I think they could probably find some good chairs that still fit into the farm theme that offer a little bit more comfort and support. Also, a little bit of background music might be kind of nice, since it was very quiet on the farm overall and you had to whisper at the table so as not too impose upon (or eavesdrop on) other conversations happening nearby. And maybe some candles on the tables would also be very nice and romantic. The last suggestion I would have is if they could put a little bit of lighting out in the parking areas, so as not to trip on dirt, rocks, etc.

    The food and service was terrific! The inside however looked like a former sushi bar, which I believe is true? Once the inside is redecorated it should be amazing.

    Our table was ready (with a reservation) right when we arrived. The staff is friendly, the location is great on the Pearl Street Mall, and the food is top notch. If you've never tried octopus, this is the place to do it!
