(Restaurants - Asian)
1479 Robson St, Vancouver  V6G • 604-689-4272
        Description: WEST END. Chic, hip and well-priced define Hapa Izakaya which is fast becoming a West End fixture. Enter the dining room whose sleek black-on-black decor defines Asian modern and deposit your shoes into clever little boxes to sit Japanese style (albeit through a cutout under the table). Order up some sake from the extensive list or sample a martini. This is a place well-suited to share entrees which range from traditional sushi selections to the more inventive cod roe gratin. Save room for the equally creative desserts such as annin tofu and almond-scented coconut and milk pudding, topped with maple syrup.
