This is more of a bar than a restaurant. Just understand the pictures you see of the inside are not what you are going to experience it's not posh. Service was very good, and the people that work there are extremely pleasant, but the food, decor, and ambiance is bar read more

We came for lunch. Parking on level D. It was a random find and read good reviews and everything looked well kept and clean. They have good social distance in place. Lots of room dividers to keep it private and intimate. We especially loved the calm environment and chill music. The service was excellent. The staff wore masks and gave us a call button when we wanted to order. My BFF ordered the deluxe curry set and I ordered the rib eye curry set. The beef onion soup was great, not too salty. The salad was cool, crisp and nicely dressed. We could not finish our food and left happy and full! read more

I love this spot! I used to come here with my family since whenever we stayed at the New Gardena Hotel. This spot to me has lots of Japanese comfort foods, and niche dishes that you can only find in authentically Japanese restaurants. I ordered a bunch of small dishes so I can try a little bit of everything. I highly recommend everything I tried! - Hamachi Carpaccio (super refreshing - think this was a daily special) - Mentai Potato Macaroni (if you like mentaiko you would absolutely love this) - Agedashi Tofu (classic Japanese appetizer) - Mochiko chicken (fried chicken with crispy mochi texture) - Rice (You have to have a side of rice with any of these dishes) Right now it seems they're only doing outdoor seating, but it's really nice bc there's separate tents/ some kind of separation between each seating area so it feels private. read more

Kitchen closes an hour before it says it does here. Arrived at 11pm. Must call before arriving.

This place has a nice outdoors area for dining during COVID. It's a part of the New Gardena Hotel, so it might be a bit difficult to spot at first. There was parking in front of the hotel, so we parked there, but looks like there's underground parking. Overall, the food and service were great. I highly recommend the rib eye steak ! The shishito peppers were surprisingly very good and the black cod was very moist and fluffy inside. I wasn't vibing with the chicken skin appetizer though. I was expecting something crispy, but it has a chewy texture. Not bad, but wasn't expecting that. read more

We came this restaurant for lunch in outdoor dining because we're so satisfied with our last time. They changed the lunch menu. My friend ordered Ribeye steak bowl and I ordered Waraji Katsu bowl. Both were very good and amazingly reasonable. Actually we worry if they can make any benefit. We also ordered other dishes from the dinner menu. Yes, you can order most dishes from the dinner menu. It worth to drive 14 miles. They also have a big drink menu. We would love to go for a dinner after a new normal. Highly recommend!! read more

visited Happa Restaurant for the first time w/ friends and my must order items are: -Mochiko Chicken -Mentai Potato Macaroni the Mochiko Chicken was perfectly crunchy and chewy, seasoned perfectly with the accompanying sauce. everything on the menu at Happa Restaurant is a la carte. when one of the gf's ordered the Mentai Potato Mac (she offered to share it with the group), i knew i needed to order my own - so glad i did. in fact, our entire party of 5 ordered our own individual Mentai Potato Macs because nobody wanted to share the yumminess. our group also ordered the Shishito Peppers and Agedashi Tofu for sharing and we all ordered an entree. the food is on point at Happa Restaurant, if i lived closer, i would be a regular. parking is located down the driveway of the New Gardena Hotel. you will see a gated entrance upon driving down the driveway, simply drive up to the gate and the gate should slide open. read more

I can see why the place is filled with Japanese (3 star, 11/7/2021). What they serve here is truly comfort food. We ordered pork shabu shabu cabbage salad, celery pickles, chicken skin ponzu, chicken nanban, assorted sausages, karamen. Nothing was mind blowing but reminds me of things that we cook at home. Sausages were a bit disappointing as I expected something juicier and plump. I may come back for other items, though Gardena has so many more great authentic Japanese places to explore :) read more

Wow. Blown away by the service and taste of the food. Came tonight because my parents have been talking about this place and their tempura nasu soboro (tempura eggplant w/ ground chicken). It's a special, so I don't think you can order it all the time but it was fantastic! We also had the poke chips, which we split as an appetizer. Poke had a great flavor to it, as well as the shrimp chips. They complimented each other so well! My father had the beef stew, which looked really good but I didn't have a taste. He described the meat as really tender, yet flavorful. Will definitely be coming back again whenever I'm in the area! read more

Truly a hidden gem in Gardena Wide variety on their menu and all very reasonably priced and portioned. Love trying their special appetizers. Personally I'll always be back for the charcoal grill setup in the outdoor patio. All the choices for the grill are excellent, our favorites are the ribeye steak and the smelt fish. The outdoor is especially nice for an intimate date or gathering; note it's pretty limited so call ahead for reservations. The staff is excellent and very attentive and quick. I'll definitely be a regular here! read more

Excellent Asian themed American restaurant; with emphasis on Japanese tastes from Japan. Also dishes /tastes from Korea and Hawaii. If you miss "Curry House" curry; it's that good. My favorite is the Chicken macaroni gratin at lunch only. If you miss the "Doria" in Japan (baked rice with white sauce and cheese with shrimp or chicken on top). For dinner you can have a Japanese style charcoal bbq (outside only). My favorites: - kurobuta sausage - Kawahagi (file fish) dried river fish - Rib eye steak strips - Kurobuta (Berkshire pork) strips Also they have the best grilled Tara (black Cod) marinated with Miso. If you go for lunch try the toasted "Mentaiko mayo baguette" . Just try it. you'll be surprised. read more

One of my friends celebrated his birthday this weekend at Happa Restaurant. Hapa in Hawaiian means "Half" (typically referred to mixed race kids). I have no clue what Happa means, but I'm guessing it means something in Japanese? It probably doesn't mean anything in Hawaiian. In the early hours of the evening (about 7-9) the owners reserved the bar-side of the restaurant for the 50+ guests in our party. At 7:00 p.m. when we arrived on a Saturday night, there was about 3-4 of the 12-15 tables on the main dining hall taken by customers. For the birthday celebration, my friend ordered from the pre-set menu, which included: Green Salad: A really nice bowl of fresh green salad topped with thinly shreaded cabbage, and tomatoes. They served the salad wth two home-made dressings. One was an oil and vinegarette (a bit bland, but safe for most tastes) and one of a thousand-island-ish dressing (very delicious). Grade: B+ Macaroni Salad: First, I have to admit that I typically don't like macaroni salad unless it is made by Zippy's (popular restaurant in my home town of Honolulu). Happa's macaroni salad had a weird brown tinge to it - I couldn't figure out what it was, and I wasn't going to eat it to find out. Visually, it didn't look appetizing. Grade: N/A. Chop Chae: This was a Korean-style clear rice noodle stir fried with onions, bell peppers and other veggies. This was perhaps my least favorite dish, because the noodles were overcooked and the dish lacked flavor. Grade: C- Fried (mochiko) chicken bits: Chicken thigh meat cut into bite sized pieces, marinated with soy sayce and garlic, and deep fried. It was a fun orange-brown colored batter. The chiecken was tender, but it was a bit tasteless and salty. Good bar food, I guess. Grade: B- Pork Spareribs with pineapple: This dish had a lot of potential, but it was another one of my least-favorite dishes. The pork ribs were super tender and fall off the bone, but the marinate which it was cooked in and served was bland and the dish lacked flavor. There were nice chunks of canned pineapple in the dish, but it did nothing to help out the flavors. Grade: C Teriyaki Beef: The *highlight* of the night was the sliced teriyaki beef! The beef was super tender and delicious! It was cooked to perfection, and there was plenty of flavor. It was so good - I went back for seconds (and thirds). This style of teriyaki beef reminded me of the kind of old mom-and-pops saimin stand in old town Honolulu (For the Hawaii Kama'aina, tasted like Dillingham Saimin & Stadium Saimin teriyaki sticks). Nostalgic, tender, delicious! Grade: A! At 9:00 pm, the bar opened up to the general public and the Karaoke started flowing. Us Hawaiians had a good chuckle, because the bar's fixtures (the old people who hang out here all the time) showed off by singing their typical songs for the crowd - "Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You", "Endless Love", "Reunited", "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." The servers and bartenders here are super friendly and hard working. Looked as though there was two main waitresses (mother and daughter?), two kitchen help, one main bartender, and another owner who managed the cash and inventory. Everyone worked super hard! I'm willing to give this place another try, because I'm always looking for a place that serves home-cooked Hawaiian meals. Food Grade: C+/B- Service Grade: A Worth the Money Grade: B Overall Impression Grade: B-/B read more

1st Japanese to settle in California were Samurai families seeking refuge from the upheaval of the transition of Japan being ruled by the Tokugawa Sho-gun clan representing a feudal system to a more modern, more Western based system propagated by factions backing the Meiji Emperor as the titular head who would introduce & legitimize this new form of government. Interesting since the last emperors having some power died almost 800 years before. Throughout most of those 800 years emperors became figureheads, and the Sho-guns or generalismos had the true reins of power. The 22 Samurai families started the Wakamatsu Tea & Silk Colony near Coloma, California in 1869, but due to agricultural failure in a new land, the colony disappeared in 2 years. Other Japanese migrations would introduce them back to the Golden State. 1st Japanese to Hawai'i, which was its own kingdom then, was in 1868, the year the Meiji Emperor ascended the Chrysthanthemum throne. About 150 men & women made landfall & most became laborers. They were treated so badly by the plantation management that the Japanese government restricted immigration to Hawai'i until 1885 when the Hawai'ian government negotiated & agreed to protect the laborers. With the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, Japanese laborers were in even more demand so that by 1924 about 40% of the Island population was of Japanese descent when all Asian immigration was restricted to the U.S. Japanese Hawai'ians along w/ the original native Hawai'ians, Chinese, Phillipinos, Portuguese, Koreans, Anglo Americans exchanged cultures & traditions so that a true "fusion" culture was established. For reasons unknown to me, many Japanese Americans from Hawai'i had settled in Gardena & remain to this day. There are probably more Japanese/Hawai'ian restaurants here than any other place in the United States except Hawai'i. Happa means leaf in Japanese, but also means a person of mixed parentage in Hawai'ian from the English word "half", and like Hawai'i, Happa restaurant is an eclectic mix. Food is mostly Japanese & Hawai'ian run by Cantonese speaking staff in the Japanese run New Gardena Hotel. Ladies here are very welcoming & smile a lot. They are fast, efficient, & the food comes out reasonably fast. Kitchen is sometimes off in getting the dishes out so that one person in the party might get their food about 3 minutes faster, but not a major problem except for people who are easily offended. Just remember that this is not the Ritz Carlton nor the Montage. It's a downhome eatery & as such don't expect Christofle, Bacarat, Lalique, nor Ricci. Just imagine you are at a local place, nothing fancy, somewhere along Kamehameha Hwy in Pearl City. White board specials mostly include a two combination plate w/ mixed green salad topped w/ soy sauce/Japanese rice vinegar dressing w/ pureed Daikon radish; a hybrid mixture of macaroni & potato salad w/ plenty of mayonnaise, but not much of anything else; Miso soup w/ Wakame/green seaweed; big bowl of steamed Japanese short grain rice; homestyle Tsukemono or pickles of cabbage, thinly cut cauliflower, slivers of Nappa cabbage that seem more Hawai'ian inspired w/ more soy sauce infused saltiness rather than the typical salt brined Japanese style & by the inartistic way of just slapping it into a small bowl. I ordered the Poke & Sweet & Sour Sparerib combo for $15.95. The chopped up Ahi tuna had a nice fresh pinkish red glistening color that seems marinated in light soy sauce, touch of ginger, good dose of sesame oil for a smokey, nutty, sweet, unctuous taste & aroma. Dressed w/ slivers of green onion to add sulfur based funk to the meaty Ahi, Daikon Tsuma which looks like finely cut Capelli d'Angeli pasta, but refreshingly watery, crispy, crunchy. A bit of red seaweed resonated w/ the color of the Ahi as well as adding a light sea minerality. The flavouring was subtle to showcase the freshness of the Ahi tuna. Excellent Poke as good as any in Hawai'i. There was a pile of pork ribs thick w/ meat & had a nice chaw. Very lean, our friendly waitress let us know that the spare ribs are first fried to render out the fat & then braised in the soy sauce/ vinegar sweet & sour sauce. Ribs seem braised long enough to soften the meat somewhat & to infuse the sweet sour sauce deeper into the flesh of this lightly porky dish. This spare rib dish may be Cantonese influenced & reminded me of the Hawai'ian version of what is found in dim sum restaurants called "jin pai gwut". Had Japanese green tea, but there is a full service bar in the back room so perhaps you can order & pay for a drink at the bar & then bring it to the front room or just dine in the back which is darker & more cave-like to create a more closed in feel. Nice service, good food, come-as-you-are laid back atmosphere. 3+ Yelp stars for when the warm winds from the tropical isles hit in the back of the mind to indulge in the venerable fusion food of Hawai'i. read more

Happa Restaurant - Shoyu Ramen - Izakaya Near Me - Gardena, California

Sort of ono for Hawaiian/Japanese grinds. The dinner special sounded like a good deal. Large servings of fried pork chops, green salad, and miso soup. I also tried the mac salad and everything I consumed was pretty decent and tasty. The sweetie and I normally would not have dinner here unless we were attending a musical performance in the room with limited tables, chairs, and a bar. For the jazz fusion performance, the cost was a 10 dollar cover charge. All the artists that performed that night were incredibly talented. At one point that Saturday evening, the power actually went out on part of Redondo Beach Blvd. The saxophonist kept the show jumping and a lady from the audience even came up for a little bit of jazzy singing. A fun evening for sure! This review is a combination of my experience with the musical night on a Saturday. Awesome to have a South Bay local restaurant that features great talent for a bargain cost. I'd give Happa as an entertainment venue 4 stars. For food alone, I would grade a 3.0. Service was just fine. Parking options are good as it shares covered parking with the hotel. Make sure you check their hours because I think they are only open in the evenings for dinner. Overall 3.5 rounded down to 3. Mahalo Arigato! read more

Happa Restaurant - Pork chops, side green salad, and mac salad - Izakaya Near Me - Gardena, California

I haven't been to Happa's in a while and a friend told me to go check out their new more Japanesey menu. When i say Japanesey, it's because it used to be a Hawaiian/Japanese style restaurant which now has more izakaya like dishes now. Which isn't a bad thing. For those that don't know, Happas is inbetween Denker ave (west of spoon house) and before you get to (painters tape, tomizo ramen area) before Western Ave. in the New Gardena Hotel. Just drive into the driveway that goes to the hotel underground parking and just drive up 2 levels to get to the Happa and or lobby level of the hotel. Anyways, what i tried was the deluxe curry plate, sort of hawaiian take on curry i'd say although they have all the standard japanese variations of curry plates like katsu (pork cutlet) curry. My deluxe consisted of 2 spam slices under the rice, then rice, then a hamburger patty, then 2 sunny side up eggs cooked perfectly with the yolks ready to run. It looks great, look at the pics i will post below. There was plenty of curry sauce to cover the whole thing and was very filling. And i love it when they give you fukujinsuke (red pickled daikon) i think, but it's a sign that the place is authentic japanese lol as it's always on curry plates in japan. When you order anything on the dinner menu, you can make it a dinner set, which includes a salad with a sesame/ginger dressing (very good). and a small scoop of a mac salad like mixture. They had a dark (red miso (soy bean paste)) soup but it was darker then what i've seen and it had dark pieces of tofu. But interestingly i loved it, rich tasting, with wakame (seaweed), tofu (soy bean curd), green onion, and a green leafy vegetable (was great, but reminded me of like a mustard green). Then the main dish, the curry dish. So i just dumped the curry which is a beef curry with carrots and beef and might have had a few potatoes as well. It was your standard japanese tasting curry which is great, i loved it. The hamburger patty looked like it was fried on a pan with onions as there was grilled onions below the patty on the rice (very loco moco like) and further below which i think wasn't needed but if you're a fan of spam like i am, likes it anyway it's served lol. I think the curry sauce sort of overpowered it but i still enjoyed it. The hamburger i just chopped up and ate it with the rice and curry sauce as well. So overall, a pretty filling meal. Next time i will try one of the more japanese dishes like miso salmon. Oh and i did get an onigiri (which is just a rice ball). You can get it three ways here, tarako (spicy fish eggs), ume (sour plum, my fav), and salmon (flaked salmon in the center). I took a pic but they keep the nori separate so that it stays crispy (really nice touch), wondered what the aluminum foil was almost threw it out, till i peeked inside and seen the rice balls with no nori, and the nori in the foil to keep it fresh. The rice ball was big, but i'd like it with just a tad more salt. If you ever seen Japanese mom or grandmas make it, they will touch salt and rub their hands with the salt before making it into the famous triangular shape rice ball. The salt gives the rice ball a great flavor, and that was lacking a bit, but overall it was still tasty and i'd order it again. So if you like japanese food, give Happa's a try, they are just opening up their outside eating again, a few tents and tables, but maybe better to take to go as it's still cold outside at dinner time. read more

Best of the Bay 2018 through 2019 Top 3 ! Congratulations to Happa restaurant which is located in the New Gardena hotel Entrance right side. 5 star all around place Without a doubt the island vibes are real From the entry to mic, the drinks to the Restuarant booths adjacent to the bar & Ktv floor.

That's what we expect in a Hawaiian, Polynesian Restuarant/ Bar. The manager and staff are 5 stars. Let's see where Happas goes into the summer, I'm thinking Ill see you there. Mahalo.. read more

Happa Restaurant - Wow place is packed brSudan. - Izakaya Near Me - Gardena, California

Where do I start? Happa is a laid back resturant and lounge that is pretty underrated. I'd say it's because they're located on The New Gardena Hotel premises. In my opinion, it's one of the better places in the area to grub on tasty island food. As expected, the hospitality is friendly though the casual vibe surely chimes. The tara miso yaki (marinated cod) is buttery, poke w/chips salty yet craveable, and their house chicken has good flavor. I honestly loved the food here. Yes, the environment can feel a little stagnant but nothing a drink or two can't fix. I would definitely recommend Happa if a Hawaiian fare is what your looking to have. Don't forget that the lounge offers great drink specials and awesome live music so make sure you hit their social media for info. read more

Stopped by Happa Saturday night for a quick dinner fix before leading to Cinco De Mayo festivities. There's ample parking as it's in a parking structure with multiple floors, so that's not a problem. We arrived around 8p.m, and the restaurant was slowing filling up. There's two sides to the place- the bar side and the restaurant side, but you're welcomed to eat at either side. The salmon dish was one of their recommended dishes so i ordered the Miso Salmon- dinner comes with two salmons, rice, salad, and miso soup. The bf ordered the Sweet & Sour ribs with karage chicken. We also ordered two sapporos to start off with. The soups and water came immediately, so that was great. The meals didn't take too long to come out as well, my salmon came out slightly burnt but It was easy to peel off and still very tasty so it wasn't disappointing. The bf's meal was also pretty good. Overall, atmosphere is pretty chill. Service is GREAT, parking is plenty, restaurant is fairly big, opens late, full bar, but the price and quality of the food wasn't what I was expecting. Good experience though. Would I be back? Ehh. Maybe, to try something new. read more

This is located under and next to the New Gardena Hotel. Had a little trouble finding it so hope that helps. Bomb food though. Happa chicken is lightly breaded and has a nice slightly sweet soy sauce flavor. Curry is on point. Miso salmon was perfectly cooked. Miso soup had cabbage and onion in it so it had a nice sweetness to it. Cucumber and seaweed appetizer is a nice way to start the meal as well. Light and vinegary. Gets the juices flowing. Yum yum. read more

This place is located in the New Gardena Hotel - and it is a hidden jem! It has 2 sides - the restaurant side and the bar side. Good service, delicious food, great drinks and live entertainment (Acoustic Thursdays 8:30-10:30p) plus karaoke!!! I usually go on Thursdays to listen to the live music, eat, drink and then sing karaoke! The food is Hawaiian-Japanese fusion and it may be the best in the area! Happa chicken & curry is my favorite dish to order. Kitchen stays open until midnight! The vibe is chill and yes you'll meet a lot of friendly Pacific Islanders. If you like smoking - there's a designated smoking section outside. If you don't like to smoke - you're in luck because there's no smoking inside!

Open LATE, hearty portions, and friendly service! [The restaurant] This restaurant is decently sized! I came here at night and one side was a complete bar with the other side being a restaurant. The other night I came here around 10:00pm looking for some late night dinner on a Thursday and I am so glad that this place was open till midnight. Other places around Gardena close around 9 or 10pm. This restaurant has very friendly service and we were quickly seated, given menus, and our drink order was taken. The kind lady, even carried the specials of the day board over to our table so that we can have a look (and that board looked pretty heavy too!) [The food] I got the nabeyaki udon and it was perfect! The soup base was a tad bit on the saltier side but I loved that there was an egg inside and that it came with 2 shrimp tempuras and mochi. Some of my other family members got the happa chicken and salmon belly special. Portions were huge and they said that the food was really good! My family said that the happa chicken was really tasty and that it was on the sweeter side! Overall, I thought that the price was really good for the amount of food that was given. Felt very homestyle and I enjoyed my visit to this place! Would come here again for a late night dinner! read more
