My wife and I joined two other friends for a early dinner Friday April 22nd. The whole experience was nothing short of outstanding. Vince our server was top notch. The music was like it was taken right from my Spotify playlist. Food was delicious... I'm looking forward to our next visit.

So happy we discovered Hapa - we didn’t know it and went solely on the reviews which were spot on. Thanks for making our Canada Day date night a fun one. We’ll see you again soon!

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.

Toronto restaurants open on Christmas Eve

The Isobe family brought Hapa to Toronto back in September 2012. During their first year they fought through adversity and had to close for four months. They reopened late October 2013 with a new and improved restaurant and a strong motivated family that share the same goal. Voted “Top Five Izakayas In North America” by Bon Appétit Magazine, topping “Industry” and “Readers Choice” Georgia Straight awards for Best Japanese in 2012 and Best Izakaya in 2014, and “Best Casual Chain” by Vancouver Magazine from 2011-2014, Hapa continues to offer a winning combination of Japanese cuisine, fun, and culture, paired with local seasonal and Ocean Wise ™ ingredients.
