• Sushi • Boulder

Booked 57 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 37 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.

While not an extensive menu the selections are creative and delicious. A farm to table approach that uses in season ingredients and a tasty pairing with spices create excellent meals to be share. A very nice addition to the Pearl Street Mall.

First time here and it was delicious! I highly recommend a reservation as it was packed on a Saturday, partially due to homecoming. But the food still came out fast and it was creative and flavorful. We had 2 of the starters and 2 of the rolls and it was the perfect amount for the 2 of us.
