Sushi
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.

    Pleasant dinner at an outside table on a weekday so ambience was Pearl Street mall. Mainly nigiri sushi ordered, one roll plus salads. Cucumber salad was underwhelming: lacked vinegar bite, too much packed in, too difficult to eat from a parfait glass. Sushi was average, nothing amazing flavor-wise. Service was attentive and appreciated. Nothing available in the non-alcohol category for drinks unfortunately. The check was over $120 for two people including tip, which is not a value proposition. First time eating at Hapa.

    We made reservations weeks ago for our friend’s birthday and were sat in the bar area. Table was sticky, restaurant overall was dirty and not the best environment. Food was okay- not what we’re used to for Hapa.

    We usually enjoy eating at Hapa. This time the sushi was terrible. We could not eat some of the Nigiri as it was too thick to bite through. We could not pick up the rolls as the rice was runny and did not stick together.

    Our server Nicki was so nice and helpful with everything. All the food ( calamari, a few sushi rolls, miso soup, and some individual pieces of Nigiri too, and banana pudding for dessert) were amazing! As always! The only complaint I had was paying $10 for a "mocktail" that was literally filled to the brim with ice so I really only had 2-3 sips through the straw of the drink before it was all gone! That was a major rip-off and when I mentioned my displeasure to Nicki she quickly rectified the issue with a refill. So overall my birthday dinner was a huge success! Thank you.

    One of the best sushi restaurants we’ve ever been to in Colorado. The Glass House and Firecracker roll are truly amazing!! But everything we’ve had has been delicious and the wait staff is always so friendly and helpful. Love the energy in that place! So excited to have found it through the recommendation of friends.

    It started off so great. The hamachi carpaccio was delish. Then even after asking to have the sushi rolls slowed down by two different servers our meal was forced onto our table while we were still enjoying our salad. After being rushed through our meal we were then left for close to 30 minutes waiting for our server. We tried to get the hosts attention and she just stared through us. Finally we had to leave the table to address the host directly to be able to pay. Sadly the food wasn’t worth all the hassle. Plenty of other sushi places in boulder with better service and food

    I am glad they are moving to a new location. Hapa has always been a favorite but the place is cramped and crowded and very noisy. The food is always consistent and good however we had some vegetarian sushi this time and it was disappointing. Come for the fish! Also we ordered a sashimi plate and the food runner who dropped it off had no idea what types of fish were on it. Neither did our server, who called over a manager. He bluffed his way through but it was clear he wasn’t sure either. Isn’t that bad form for a place that mainly serves sushi and sashimi? And they said a piece was named Tonga but then had no idea what kind of fish it was. Also we were there to celebrate a birthday and had indicated so on the reservation, and they asked about it when we arrived…and that was it. Why ask if you’re not going to do even anything tiny for the celebrant? Not sure I will rush back. Hapa is “new” style sushi and there are other more traditional places in town, across the street even!

    After having gone to the East Coast on vacation and wanting coastal sushi, I have to admit and was shocked that our local land-locked joint had better sushi!
