    Garlic chicken & Kalbi(short rib) Mixed plate
    Andy L.

    Excellent Hawaiian food! I got the garlic chicken and short rib lunch, and it was pretty amazing. The short ribs were extremely flavorful, tender, and juicy and left you wanting more. It's a little bit pricey, but you could probably split the entrée with another person or both be plenty full. I recommend this place highly.

    This place is legit! We've been here twice and I think it's safe to safe it's some of the best if not the best Hawaiian food in Arizona. The kalbi ribs are sooo good! They have ribeye on thursdays and it's definitely a plate worth sharing! If you're craving Hawaiian food this is the place!!!!

    First time trying Hapa Food and will definitely be back! I tried the chicken and kalua pig. It was served with rice and Mac salad which were both rich in flavor. I highly recommend "hurricane" style! Xo -B

    First time here. I ordered the kalbi and garlic chicken plate and poke nachos. Everything was good and flavorful but I do wish there was more poke on my nachos. And the garlic chicken I had mostly were breaded not enough meat on it but other than that it was good but we were still hungry after. The place isn't big and it's kinda tight especially if it's busy. Service was great.

    Love coming to Hapa for lunch. My favorite to order is the Kalbi & Garlic Chicken mix plate. The beef is juicy and perfectly marinated. I love the ambiance of feel good island music, and the staff is so friendly. I will always come back. If you have enough room after, the fresh filled Malasadas (cream filled donuts) are incredible. I can never get enough of this place!!

    Oh my goodness this place is 1000% legit real Hawaiian food. I have been dying to go since I recently came back from Oahu and I actually think this out ranked the street food I was looking for in Hawaii. The staff and service are so great definitely "island vibes" 100% Clean and fast service everything made as ordered.

    Ribeye plate 29.99

    Been seeing this place on my social media and I absolutely love galbi and steak. We came on a day that served the ribeye 29.99$ and also ordered the galbi plate 24.99. Both were very good along with the Mac salad. The kimchi with the galbi is perfect, I only wish there was more. The plate came with a lot of rice and the galbi had such a great Smokey & sweetness to it. Both were super delicious, Would absolutely love to try the garlic shrimp next. Food took 20~min which was told upfront and it is worth the wait !

    Fresh made to order Hawaiian food, very friendly service as well! Will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu.

    I think I came across Hapa on instagram. It looked so good that I was dying to try it! The woman at the register was very nice, and she told me the food was made to order, and it would be 30 minutes. There were quite a few people in there so I think next time I would order ahead vs waiting in for 30 minutes... The food did not disappoint! I had the Kalbi and garlic chicken combo . I did t realize the chicken was deep fried. I would have preferred a non deep fried option, but it was good! My daughter had the shrimp and chicken. It was all great, but the portions were huge. We should have split one meal! I also love coconut so I had to try their coconut dessert. I can't remember the name - I think it was snow something - I loved that too! The restaurant is small and simple!

    Food is good! They'll inform you upon ordering that food may take a little while to be prepared but imo it wasn't too slow. My favorite is the galbi but i'm also fond of the mac salad (which I don't believe has any onions). Restaurant is on the smaller side but was able to find seating.

    First time trying Hawaiian inspired food. It was good. The cashier lady was pleasant and patient with our family of 5 even though we weren't sure what we wanted to get. Today we tried the galbi and garlic chicken served with rice and mac and cheese, galbi and garlic shrimp, and malasaras ube and custard flavors. We also ordered the Hawaiian sun canned drinks and they were refreshing as well. What stood out to me was the soft custard flavored malasara, please try this when you visit Hapa Food. This place is a fast food casual restaurant and it's worth the trip. The plaza offers plenty of parking spaces.

    so fire!!! you can tell how good a hawaiian place is by their mac salad and this one was quite delish. my friends and i tried the galbi and garlic shrimp, kalua pork, and the ahi poke plates. everything was actually so darn yummy. the galbi was grilled really nicely and had a good bite to it. the kalua pork was suuuper tender. and the poke was fresh and well marinated. this place was a delightful surprise

    Garlic chicken & kalbi ribs mixed
    Melissa L.

    LOVEEE Hapa food! Probably one of the best hawaiin food spots I've tried so far. The kalbi meat was so juicy and tender. Garlic chicken *chefs kiss* and don't get me started on the mac salad. Recommend the ube puff pastry. It was so good. I am obsessed!

That question turned into Carl proudly explaining the process from preparation, to smoking to plate and everything in-between. His enthuasism, artisanal detail, and forthrightness to answer our questions were extremely valued and appreciated. Carl went way beyond our expectations and set the tone for the rest of our meal. After conversing with Carl he walked us to the counter, introduced us to the staff making the plates and explaned the ordering process to us. We ordered several items on the menu so we we could each sample them. The brisket was exceptional... on point. Burnt ends were delicious. Sausage is a must to order. Absolutely incredible. Sides were lights out. The Mac and cheese was marvelous. Picnic perfect potato salad. Superb slaw and the corn casserole let's just say that we should have ordered a much larger size. We met Mason when we were checking out. His over the top customer service and genuine care for our satisfaction were greatly appreciated. As we were eating both Carl and Mason came over to see if we were enjoying our meal. We couldn't praise them enough. Everything about our visit was phenomenal. The food was delicious, the customer service by Carl, Mason and the rest of your employees was top notch. We look forward to visiting again and taking the pit class when we return to the valley. Thank you Caldwell County BBQ team!!!

How a team reacts to problems tells me more about the place than just having a 3 or 4 star experience - this group showed experience, grace, and real concern. To start - if you want a booth, make sure you specify that when you put in your name - it changes the wait time. While we waited, we ordered Cokes from the bar, and Marquis gave a warm welcome and great service! Upon finally sliding into our booth, we found the seats hadn't been brushed off - and it was very crumb-y (pun intended) - we ended up using our napkins and then grabbing new sets from a nearby table. We also learned the Coke was FLAT and bitter - not great. However our server, Calvin, during that typical greeting and small talk actually invited us to share our concerns, asking us not to hold back and as a result went above and beyond to turn our experience around. An additional visit from Manager Josh followed, apologizing and genuinely seemed to want the the feedback as a tool for improvement and coaching for some new staff. From that point, everything was great! From getting replacement drinks, to sampling the pulled pork and brisket to tender ribs, and the good sized Cajun shrimp appetizer, the team truly redeemed the evening, and the apple cobbler (it's got a pastry top!) and cinnamon sugar donuts was a great close to the meal. Calvin and Josh gave a masterclass in how to turn a meh start into a memorable meal. We're looking forward to going back - next time with a booth request upfront!

We were seated quickly, which was a great start. Unfortunately, it took quite a while for our server to come over, and it seemed like she was really struggling to keep up with her tables. I understand that things can get busy, but it did affect the overall experience. The food is usually very good here, which is why this visit was disappointing. Everything came out cold, and my favorite Cajun shrimp looked like it had been sitting in water--it just wasn't up to the usual standard. I recently found out that this location is under different ownership, which may explain the change. Because of this experience, I'll likely be taking my family to Bobby Q's Phoenix in the future, even though it's a bit farther away.
