Description

Hapa Sushi is essentially a fusion restaurant, offering sliders, nachos and Fuji-apple-and-bleu-cheese salads on the one hand, poke don, kanpyo maki and a small spread of sashimi on the other. It caters quite deliberately to rookies, actually naming a section of the menu "Beginner Sushi Rolls," which is followed by "Intermediate" and then flows right into the house specials -- almost all of which are named after something sexual. But while Hapa is a fun place, there's also undeniable talent in the kitchen. This Hapa spinoff has been altered to fit the Cherry Creek aesthetic: Black and silver chic artfully permeates the corner spot. Too bad the only place to safely get your dance groove on while the DJs spin is in front of the hostess station.

    At Hapa Sushi (see review), you don't have to worry much about rules. Don't sneeze on your neighbor's edamame, don't lick the help, don't stick two chopsticks in your top lip and pretend you're a walrus (they've seen it before, Shecky, and no one... More »

    I've been a fan of Hapa Sushi since they opened when I was going to school in Boulder. Then when I moved down to Denver after graduating, I started going to the Hapa in Cherry Creek to get my fix. These days, I'm happy to spin a fun happy hour party there every Sunday called Hapa Life. I play a mix of soul, r&b, classic hip hop and more to compliment the sushi and wind down the weekend just right, here's the details in case you wanna check it out: Hapa Life Sundays w/DJ Low Key Every Sunday evening from 8:30-midnight (food til 11) at Hapa Sushi in Cherry Creek (2nd & Detroit) 2 for $7 select rolls $3.50 sake specials $2.95 little sides $3 Hapa Beers 10% service industry discount & more More info at hapasushi.com, djlowkey.com, twitter.com/hapasushi & twitter.com/djlowkey

  • 2004 | Best Sushi Selection for the Rookie

    Say you're new to all this raw-fish nonsense. You're curious about the fuss, but you don't know your ebi from your uni. For you nigiri neophytes, we suggest making a lunch date at Hapa Sushi. While fish aficionados may scoff at Hapa's jumped-up, fusiony, oh-so-flashy fare, this hip Cherry Creek hot spot has two very important things going for it. First, the menu is comprehensively descriptive; no matter what you order, you'll know exactly what you're getting, and you won't accidentally find... More »

  • 2002 | Best Sushi Bar

    This hip, Hapa-ning chain now has three links (two in Boulder), but we like Hapa's Cherry Creek sushi bar best. The sushi is always super-fresh, interesting and well executed, offered in cutting-edge combinations that might sound silly but actually work. For starters, there's the "multiple orgasm," a tempura-battered sushi roll filled with cream cheese, crab and smoked salmon, all fried and then smothered in a gooey white sauce. Since they have to serve dishes like that, it's no wonder the... More »
