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.

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.

    We had a wonderful evening. The commitment to sustainable sourcing and management is commendable/awesome. A+. The setting, the service, the pacing of the meal and the fresh, farm raised offerings were excellent. The prix fixe menu offered two starters per person and a main, or a starter/main/dessert. The amount of food was too generous and guidance on portion sizes would have been helpful. We enjoyed the starters immensely but they were quite large. The main courses - pork and lamb - were delicious but busy - again substantial and might benefit from a simpler presentation. The bowl of root veggies that came with the mains was yummy but we could not finish it. Overall, a wonderful concept that we support but might need some refining in terms of menu design and portion clarity.
