Overview
Fueled by Americans’ evolving infatuation with Japanese cuisine,
culture and tastes, sushi, continues to gain popularity in the
United States. Hapa Sushi Grill & Sake Bar takes this fun,
healthy and artful dining tradition and turns it into a high-volume,
profitable new franchise concept.
Hapa Sushi Grill & Sake Bar is where Tokyo meets New York. We capture the cosmopolitan edge of the finest upscale sushi bars, and add an American twist to create a blend that is uniquely Hapa.
Founded in 1999, Hapa is a recognized brand of Japanese-American casual dining restaurants. The name Hapa comes from the Hawaiian word for “half,” a term that describes Hapa’s dynamic blend of Asian and American cultures. Our food is the centerpiece-based on traditional Japanese dishes, then amplified, muted or mixed with influences of many different styles of cuisine. The Hapa menu is innovative, uninhibited and distinctly fun.
Hapa caters to everyone from young hipsters looking for a great night out to world travelers with adventurous palates, a busy lunchtime crowd, vegetarians, children and families. Hapa’s clever advertising, word-of-mouth buzz from loyal customers and recognized logo has put our brand on the map.
