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!

    My fiancee and I dined here last evening for a special occasion and we were floored by how amazing everything was! Our waiter Ernesto was wonderful, patient and so kind and assertive, and all staff who delivered food and helped us out with drinks were amazing. We had the NY sirloin and petit filet, sides were done to perfection as well. Food was perfect, and we complimented the meal with nice red wine (try the pinot noir from Oregon) and the cheesecake and espresso desserts topped off the evening as if we weren't full enough! It's a standout establishment in DTC and we will be back! We had a mindful experience without photos of the food but I did capture the ambiance, so perfect for the holidays and end of the year to go out and be taken care of in this way. Thank you to everyone who made our night last night! Cheers and happy new year's we will be back with more people next time ;) Thanks again to Ernesto <3

    My son, his gf and I had a lovely dinner. The food was delicious and the service was great. Our only regret was that we may have over ordered but everything was really good and the leftovers went home. Highlights - the grilled romaine salad, my son's trip of medallions, his gf's short rib special and my filet del mar. But everything was good and we would be happy to have them all again ! I especially appreciated the service - it was spot on, enough but not overbearing. I have been to Eddie Merlot's before and that wasn't the case. With this experience, I will be sure to return. I also appreciated the email thank you for dining there. That may be a first !

    Julia was amazing! Great service start to finish. I noted in my reservation we were celebrating a birthday & they left a signed card on our table and dessert on the house. Great happy hour deals too! We will be returning:)

    They were open on Christmas and really saved the day! We were promptly greeted and seated. Wait staff was exceptional. The back waiter suggested I not add cheese to my dish as it would might make it too salty. After tasting it, I realized she was right! I really appreciated her having this knowledge and not being afraid to share her suggestion. The atmosphere is lovely and although it was bustling, somehow the surrounding noise was not overwhelming. 5 of us who had never been all gave it 5 stars and will all definitely be going back!
