Hapa J's

Was recommended by a friend to check this place out on our trip in California. We got there when they opened, so we were served immediately. Our waiters were super friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. Wish they had a little bigger of a menu selection, but the food is amazing regardless!

Absolutely delicious food! Loved the vibe in the restaurant too, the open windows, surfer vibe, really added to the Hawaiian theme. My son said he had the best pulled pork quesadilla he's ever had! the thai beef salad was so yummy, and spicy, but in a good way. The tuna melt and cheesesteak sandwich were awesome too. We were really impressed and highly recommend 👏🏼

Great Hawaiian style Platters with tons of side dishes to choose from, they even have kimchi 😋

While eating dinner here, I thought I was in Hawaii. My wife was incredibly impressed. The flavors and presentation of our dinner plates were outstanding and memorable enough to want to come back for more. The teriyaki burger was just right - sauce was seasoned well enough to bring out flavors in the rest of the burger. Although fries were a bit salty, the burger was more than enough to be satisfied. The Loco Moco was also amazing - paired with pickled mango and Kim chee. Gravy on the side was my mistake. The next time, I will ask them to add more on top of the whole thing, eggs and all. Rice was perfect, showcasing the tender hamburger patty. Dinner was so amazing, we had to get a slice of cheesecake dessert because it had to be tried based on principle, especially after that meal. I highly recommend it. Don't be afraid to find parking and get into Hapa J's as this meal is a fantastic experience.

Alright I chose this email that won't say my name. But tonight I ordered their nachos for delivery (I usually go in person when I for happy hour) but all I can say is I love this place. And tonight they made me smile more than ever. On my order in the part where it asks for customization stuff I put them a super secret special message (I wanted them to smile and they know what I said). And they sent me this amazing note with an awesome desert because they saw my note! I wanna cry because nice people still exist! Whoever was working that night I love you. Not just because you gave me cheesecake (I haven't eaten it just yet but I'm excited too). But because you guys saw my note and gave me another note back! THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU! I'm sending virtual air hugs your way now!(: This brought me so much joy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Ill never forget this! I love you all!

One of the best restaurants in San Clemente. Food is delicious and their prices are reasonable 👌Parking was easy and fast, great service! I found items on the menu I haven't seen anywhere else so they get extra points for that. Also thanks for happy hour! 😊

Delectable! This place has delicious appetizers and main entrees. More than likely you will go home with eats for later, because they have good portions that will definitely fill you up. All of the staff was kind and gave great recommendations as well.
