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!

I’ve eaten here quite a few times and have never had a bad meal. The rib eye cap dinner is outstanding, but I departed and ordered the ribs last night. They were fall off the bone good!! Portion sizes are perfect and service is always attentive. This is one of my “go to” restaurants when I head to the Stapleton area. One area of caution. They changed their well bourbon for their Old Fashioned. It’s a terrible choice, so be sure to specify your own bourbon.

Excellent service and a unique experience and elevated dining relative to most of the Denver food scene. It comes at a high price that many will raise their eyebrows at. However a great option for a special occasion, date, or group outing. Will go again.
