THE MOST DELICIOUS JAPANESE + HAWAIIAN FOOD FUSION Hapa is derived from the Hawaiian term that describes a harmonious blend of Asian & American cultures. Thus, our 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
Modern sushi spot with imaginative takes on Japanese fare, including creatively named rolls.

Absolutely delicious. I hadn’t been to a Hapa’s location in over 20 years, let alone this one ever, and it was just as good as I remember. Fresh ingredients, eclectic dishes and beautiful plate presentations. The service was excellent and even with a lot of families with children and some larger parties in the restaurant it was not noisy by any means.
PS – Get the Multiple Orgasm roll.

UPDATE: I visited again on 8 Sep 2025 and had a wonderful time. The food was good and service was impeccable. Added new photos to this review. Still recommend this restaurant to everyone.
————————————-
My family tried this restaurant a while back without me and told me about their wonderful experiences and mentioned that they wanted me to try it. Being from Hawaii, I naturally thought the name of the restaurant was intriguing; not to mention, the term, “Hapa” has a special meaning to me. I was recently in Boulder so my daughter and I visited this restaurant on 3 Aug 2025. We arrived a little later than the normal dinner window so the restaurant wasn’t busy at all which was perfect because I didn’t feel like waiting for a table – yes, we were starving.
When we walked in, we were immediately greeted and escorted to our table. After we sat down, we were provided with one of the best service a customer can have…courtesy of Savannah – she was extremely professional, attentive, friendly, and very efficient. All quality traits that every restaurant employee should emulate. In fact, prior to ordering our food, I looked at one of the dishes that were brought to our table and unfortunately, when I lifted one of the plates, it was dirty (see attached photo). I brought this to Savannah’s attention and she immediately resolved the issue, following it with an apology. Though, I would hope in the future the kitchen staff would quality check their items before they make them available for servers to bring to the tables. Regardless, things happen and it was resolved.
We ordered Miso Soup, Ginger Pork Gyoza, Vegetable Tempura, and Taro (Tuna) Poke for our appetizers; Hapa Roll, Statue of Liberty (SOL) Roll, and Beef Teriyaki Dinner for our main entrées; and Da Kine Punch and Hapa Draft for our drinks. The appetizers were good; the miso soup and tempura definitely stole the show for the appetizer round. The gyoza was good; however, I was shocked with how it was prepared…it didn’t have as much crisp to it as you would get at a Japanese restaurant. The texture almost reminded me of a Chinese-style (pan seared) dumpling…but it was still pretty good; just not what I was hoping for. The SOL Roll was outstanding; I’m mainly an ahi tuna guy so I was taken back at how refreshing (and crisp) that roll was – that apple provided a whole new level to that roll. The Hapa Roll was ok; for some reason, the tuna didn’t taste like it should have (I found it strange considering the Taro Poke was great). I know land-locked states are limited to how fresh a fish can be, but this one didn’t taste fresh at all. I have never received bad ahi when I was in Hawaii (of course), and in Las Vegas (where I currently reside). I still finished it and it never made me sick afterwards so perhaps it was just my tastebuds? Also, the Beef Teriyaki was adequate; nothing to write home to Mom about…but it wasn’t bad either.
The restaurant was clean with very nice décor and a respectable amount of space; both interior and exterior. The restaurant’s logo was fascinating which makes me wonder of the history behind picking that logo/character. The price-to-quantity/quality ratio was reasonable and I highly respect this business for their continued support to the active men and women of the Armed Forces, including its Veterans – thank you for that! Overall, I liked my experience here, as depicted in my 4-star rating. I can definitely see myself returning for another visit whenever I’m in the city again. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Our favorite sushi spot in town. The new space is very bright and airy, beautiful and modern design. Absolutely amazing food – creative, savory flavors, the freshest high quality ingredients. Great, attentive and friendly staff. We usually come here for brunch on weekends and there are always tables available for walking in.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hapa Sushi Grill and Sake Bar – Pearl Street Mall
We stopped in for a date and found the perfect mix of atmosphere, creativity, and flavor. Sitting outside under the glow of string lights while storm clouds rolled in set such a cozy, romantic vibe.
The food was as fun as it was delicious. We tried some of their signature rolls—“The Big Kahuna” (yellowtail, salmon, tuna, jalapeño, and yuzu miso) and the “Booty Call Roll” topped with lobster and garlic sake butter—which were both show-stoppers. The playful menu names kept us smiling, and the flavors didn’t disappoint.
We also loved the Magic Mushrooms appetizer—avocado wrapped in salmon with sweet soy—and the Chukka Seaweed Salad for something light and refreshing.
Drinks were another highlight: a chilled sake paired beautifully with a vibrant cocktail (the Curious Margarita with strawberry, jalapeño, and smoky togarashi salt rim). They balanced the meal perfectly.
The service was warm, the presentation was gorgeous, and the whole evening felt like an experience rather than just dinner.
In short: creative rolls, great drinks, and an ambiance that makes even a rainy evening unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back.

Popular spot and it can get busy, but really nice atmosphere.
Some rolls were super tasty, others more average, and desserts looked beautiful but could use a little extra care (the crème brûlée was served cold).
Overall, I had a good time, though I’m not sure the quality matches the price enough for me to come back often.

Stopped by for an early dinner happy hour time. The food came out on time and was definitely delicious. We especially liked the appetizers and sushi. The Brownie dessert with ice cream was super fresh and delicious. We enjoyed our time sitting outdoors.

i have had some decent meals here. It’s never amazing, but serviceable. Tonight though I went and had dinner there during the happy hour. All of the dishes were really sub par. They tasted fishy, and unappetizing. We didn’t finish any of them. Then afterward I felt really sick for a few hours. The drinks are good though and the service was good. I am going to avoid it from now on.
