Happa Restaurant

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.

This little hidden gem is nothing short of fantastic! The staff are all so friendly and accommodating, the venue itself is very welcoming and comfortable - and while it’s not over-the-top fancy, it’s not really supposed to be. It’s very much like home, complete with home style cooking! The menu isn't a novel, which is good. There’s more time and attention paid to the few but delectable selections. Very straight and to the point, which is rare for restaurants nowadays, what with everyone constantly trying to outdo each other with unnecessary gimmicks. The prices are very fair - the portions are extremely generous, and the food itself is absolutely delicious. Every dish is just dancing with flavor and memories of home. (I’m a happa, too!) My husband and I like to come here for our occasional date night, and we’re never disappointed. 6/5 stars, Happa is always the go-to for us in every category! (Try the burdock chips - I just might go in today for some, they are AMAZING!!!)

I love this place to death!! The food is unbelievable, the staff's very professional and knowledgeable about their craft. If you're on a budget and still want to eat and drink out, you have come to the right spot. Great happy hour!! Although the drinks are very cheap anyways. I mean... Where else would you get a Budlight for 3 bucks??!?? I know, right
