My friend and I really enjoyed our lunch here, sat on the patio (a little loud due to trash collection day). Our server was wonderful and the food was delightful! We shared the hummus and whipped labneh appetizers, which were delicious, then enjoyed the house mezze bowl and house bowl with falafel. Everything was very fresh and tasty.

About the restaurant
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 you will find our menu innovative, uninhibited, and distinctly fun! Incomplete parties will not be sat until complete.

Our server was drowning with the amount of tables for two servers upstairs, a brief hold on seating would have done the trick. However after our meal, we sat patiently waiting for the server to come to us with the check and some boxes. Never got a to go bag or the usual side of ginger, wasabi and chopsticks. The servers knowledge of knowing when to settle out a table that has been done eating for about 10-15 mins would have allowed her to direct her attention to the newer sat tables. Some help from the male host would have been beneficial as a runner to the restaurant as a whole as he was on his phone on our way out. Not the best showing as we come here often enough.

About the restaurant
Located in Denver’s thriving Union Station neighborhood, our menu embodies the dual nature of its name. Featuring both hearty and light items, it provides thoughtful, creative seasonal fare for vegans and meat-eaters alike. Even the bar program gives a nod to this split focus – our quirky, sexy cocktails are paired to both palates. We’re proud to source ingredients locally and make items in-house whenever possible.

We designed the space to make guests feel like they’re at a casual get-together hosted by their most stylish friend. Climbing vines, antique books, garage doors that overlook two patios, sleek couches for lounging and community tables for making new friends come together to welcome guests, whether they’re wearing flip flops or a suit (or both).

We had a great lunch experience yesterday. Starting with the warm welcome from the hostess, Sadie, to the attentive service from our waiter, it was a top notch experience. I look forward to doing it again soon.

We wanted a restaurant with an interesting ambiance and Elephant definitely provided this. The interior is an artwork and it was fun just looking at it. The weather was lovely and we sat near the open windows. Service was attentive and pleasant. The food was good, but nothing special, I would call it comfort food. I felt that I could prepare our dishes at home myself just as successfully. But when you're a vegetarian dining in Denver, you are often grateful just to having something to order other than the extra large salad. The drinks were very good.

About the restaurant
Welcome to Kobe An LoHi. In addition to a full sushi and izakaya menu, our signature dish of “shabu shabu” is a traditional Japanese-style hot-pot meal. The phrase “shabu, shabu” means “swish, swish” for the custom nature of cooking this dish. We're not your typical hot-pot or fondue restaurant. Our "Shabu Shabu" style transports you across time and cultures to immerse you in a deliciously fresh and evocative world. Enjoy the skills of our chefs and bar staff as they complement this gastronomy of the past with quality sushi, crafted cocktails and small plates with a modern twist. In our beautiful dining room , or under Japanese lanterns on our patio, come savor not only the food - come savor the swish and the sushi.

Great little spot. Hot pot & sukiyaki food, as well as sushi bar. We enjoyed the hot pot option, but there is an “unlimited” option as well, augmented by sushi. Hot pot was very good, protein options pretty small, and the sushi rolls were good but unremarkable. Great neighborhood spot, service charge automatically added, good food.
