"Hapa, which began as a food cart, established itself as a brick-and-mortar with its distinctive blend of ramen, Hawaiian cuisine, and Japanese whiskey. The restaurant prides itself on its proprietary noodle recipe, featuring thick and wavy noodles that stand up well to its broth. The menu offers classic ramen options such as tonkotsu, shoyu, and miso, alongside Hapa’s original creation, the G-Special: a rich pork belly-based broth with succulent chunks of pork belly, complemented by spicy sprouts and shiitake mushrooms." - Zoe Baillargeon
