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. Done with your sushi? Use your chopsticks to tap out the beat while the DJ spins it. A smart layout enhances the comfortably stylish environment so you won't bump the tables when the sake commands you to shake your booty.

    By the third time I'd driven past the construction site, the workers were getting suspicious. The fourth time, they waved. I was beginning to wonder if mocking motorists was their job, if the building site at First and Josephine was really some so... More »

    Laurence Iwamoto isn't offended by Hapa's hot, sexually charged atmosphere (see review, above). What he finds offensive is the restaurant's name. Not long after the sushi bar opened in Cherry Creek, Iwamoto, a Japanese native and Denver resident, ... More »

    What can I say ...... the double orgasm roll is .... well .... out of this world? I still have to try plenty of other sushi places in town though, so recommendations are welcome.
