We had contacted Hapa to redeem Travelzoo Voucher for an 8-course Omakase meal in March. Due to Covid we appreciated the extension to the end of Aug and also providing a takeout option. However, once we returned home with our meal we discovered we had only received 7 courses. Additionally we didnt feel like the choices for the meal met the value of the voucher (valued at $100 per person). In our dinner we received: Avocado Salad (1 box) Edamame (1 box) Ebi Mayo (4 pc deep fried shrimp) Karage (4 pc deep fried chicken bites) Jerk chicken tacos (2pc) Spicy Tuna sushi roll (8pc) Fried rice (1 box) Overall, I would not recommend an Omakase for the type of cuisine Hapa offers. An Omakase traditionally is more elevated dining and Hapa offers more of a bar/snack type of food. I would likely recommend Hapa for social gatherings for drinks and snacks instead of a meal.

I've been coming here for a few years now for many different types of occasions. Every single employee is always welcoming and always giving amazing service, they honestly always make you feel like family, and the food is absolutely phenomenal every time. Currently, the menu is smaller than usual due to the pandemic, definitely try the pork belly spring rolls and the Kimchi Yakima Udon, my mouth watered with how good those were. I've loved coming here since the first moment I stepped in, couple of years ago they had this torched lobster sushi that has been my favourite dish to this day, I'll excited if they bring it back on the menu. 5 stars and above from someone who's been visiting for many years now.

My husband and I loved our experience at Hapa. The food was amazing the staff was awesome and the ambiance was just right. Chris made our dining experience that much better and easier and was able to answer our razy little questions. The only thing was that I only felt that it was a tad bit dark. Other than that, I would say we will definitely be returning.

I had a great time with my girlfriend and the music was really good. Also the food was delicious we ordered the steak tepenyaki. The DJ played old school hip hop and R&B which was beyond epic and fun, and the karaoke was great. Met the manager and he was awesome. Will definitely be going back in the future.

We had a fantastic dinner (8-course Chef's tasting menu) with the best service we have experienced outside of a white table cloth establishment. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone of my friends or family. We had so much food that we took home enough for lunch the next day.

We used a Travel Zoo coupon for an eight-course tasting menu and it was a great deal. The meal started off okay with edamame and an avocado-tofu salad. Then it ramped up with jerk chicken tacos, huge prawns with a spicy mayo, and ended with an amazing stone-bowl shrimp and rice dish. The topper was the fabulous sesame ice-cream. This isn't a typical Japanese restaurant, it's more of a hipster bar with large TV screens and nondescript western music. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. The food is terrific and we'd go back again.

Our 2nd visit! The first visit was Summerlicious, we returned because we loved the food but the air-con was not great in the heat of summer. This time, the restaurant was comfortable, service was good even they are lean on staff. The food was delicious! The only advice was you can access the restaurant via public transit or on foot. Otherwise, we suggest parking on the street. We parked at the Green P parking right behind the restaurant on a Friday night, our vehicle's logo emblem was stolen.
