Outstanding Japanese Gourmet-Hapa Izakaya
Posted on June 23rd, 2009 in Vancouver Restaurants Reviews |
The Hapa Izakaya is located in 1479 Robson St, Vancouver.
Telephone: 604-689-4272
Insider review:
dishes ranging from marinade sashimi to grilled kobo beef to mushroom rice served in a piping hot stone bowl, and although they have one or two ‘plain’ sashimi selections, their marinade or ’sauced’ versions are highly recommended.
Cold sake is served in a very cool bamboo container. Food is served quite quickly, so you don’t have to sit there waiting for too long. Seating is more of table settings with one side on a bench, and there is a row of ‘bar’ seats ideal for couples.
Feature:
King Salmon Sashimi, Mackerel and rice.
Tips: definition of Izakaya ?
Izakaya: a type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks. The food is usually more substantial than that offered in other types of drinking establishments in Japan such as bars or `snack bars`. They are popular, casual and relatively cheap places for after-work drinking.
Overall ratings: great Izakaya food but VERY busy!
