I love Hapa! It isn't traditional sushi but that's what's so great about it. It is definitely a different style; they use molasses as a sushi topping (in small enough doses- it is so delicious). The ambiance is really cool. Plus, they stay open late. My favorite roll, hands down, is the asparagus caterpillar roll. I first started going to Hapa on the Hill in Boulder, and then the one on Pearl St. I was so happy when they brought Hapa to Cherry Creek. The restaurant is usually noisy and jammed packed, but if you're looking for a hip restaurant, this is the place to go in Cherry Creek for sushi. (Sushi Tazu's sushi keeps disappointing me- not doing that again) I like Sushi Den for traditional sushi, but Hapa has rolls that are unique and make my roommates and I have cravings to go back. Worth a try- but beware, you might get hooked. The wait staff could use a little improvement. They sometimes forget orders and bring out random rolls that you didn't order- which get comped (you have to say something), you eat the food you didn't order (still delicious) and then they bring out what you really ordered... sort of a bargain, really)

Pros: Best steak, open late, cool atmosphere, really really tasy sushi

Cons: wait staff gets food out quickly... but usually the wrong one.
