Booked 66 times today

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 that you will find our menu innovative, uninhibited, and distinctly fun! Incomplete parties will not be sat until complete.

• Seafood • Boulder

Booked 31 times today

We don't take ourselves too seriously at Jax Fish House. Two things we do take seriously? The freshness and sustainability of our seafood. You know fresh fish when you see, smell, and taste it-and thanks to modern delivery technology, we bring in that freshy-fresh seven days a week. Sustainability is a little more complicated. Not all commercial fisheries are created equal. That's why we work closely with our suppliers and science-based organizations to ensure that every single thing we serve is responsibly sourced. We consider the stocks of the species we source to prevent overfishing and we work with suppliers who harvest in ways that have minimal impacts on marine environments.

I'm always up for local dining experiences wherever I visit, and I wound up making a reservation here for brunch. The Crispy Cauliflower was great and so was the service. Everything on the menu looked so appetizing. I ordered the Quiche and Croque Monsieur to go, which I shared with hubby later in the afternoon. They also did not disappoint.

Japango is a fantastic experience. Their takeout is good, but the in-person experience really shines. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Everything on the menu looks so enticing, and the food is delicious.
