• Sushi • Boulder

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.

• Seafood • Boulder

We don't take ourselves too seriously at Jax Fish House. Two things we do take seriously? The freshness and sustainability of our seafood. You know fresh fish when you see, smell, and taste it-and thanks to modern delivery technology, we bring in that freshy-fresh seven days a week. Sustainability is a little more complicated. Not all commercial fisheries are created equal. That's why we work closely with our suppliers and science-based organizations to ensure that every single thing we serve is responsibly sourced. We consider the stocks of the species we source to prevent overfishing and we work with suppliers who harvest in ways that have minimal impacts on marine environments.

    The place is happening. Style of restaurant is light, open and inviting. The staff was personable and well informed, the food was very good on flavors, and preparation. Some of the small plates should be served for 4 or 2 depending on your dinner party….having 3 or 4 items come out w 3 pieces to try at a four top just deflates the experience a little. Restaurant can be a little noisy because of the higher ceilings.

    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.
