    Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp
    Katherine C.

    Was looking for a place to get lunch and happened to see that this place was open. It's only open for limited hours on Friday and Saturday at the moment so I wasted no time in ordering. I did an online pickup order but they didn't have a QR code on the pickup if you wanted order it there (although I recommend just ordering online beforehand) The garlic shrimp was very flavorful and and a good size. Tried the chicken katsu, pineapple and spam, and egg and spam musubi which were all decent but favorite had to be the egg and spam. Definitely a good option if you're looking for a quick and lighter takeout lunch. It's a shared kitchen concept restaurant so there's no dine in. Parking spots in front of the storefront that has a "the Kitchen" sign.

    Just like Hapa Musubi's business itself, so much has changed since I first tried Hapa Musubi. It was shortly before the pandemic where they had a storefront and I got to take pics in front of the You Had Me at Aloha Sign and all those Spam cans on the wall. The next was front door pickup at the same location, then from a shared kitchen like so many businesses that have changed their model. Then came their closure. But like true Hawaiian fashion, it is not good-bye but until we meet again and they have reopened at the shared kitchen What has not changed is their delicious musubis that has a good amount of filling and not just a lot of rice filler. Having tried pretty much everything at least once following them whereever they went, we have narrowed down our faves to the chicken katsu, shrimp tempura, and traditional spam and egg. The garlic shrimp, although tasty, was way too oily as a musubi and would be better off as a plate lunch.

    I could not find this place for the life of me. I kept thinking my gps was taking me to the wrong spot. I circled around so many times but I kept ending up in some odd industrial area. If you think you're in the wrong spot, then ur absolutely on track! If you see large trucks, a couple of big rigs and strewn lumber then you're there. Just walk towards the store fronts and you'll see it. I couldn't get a photo of the musubis because I started to scarf them down before I could get into my car. Ordered the kimchi & spam/egg. Both delicious. I was a big fan of the kimchi flavored one. Definitely getting that again. Also ordered the garlic shrimp plate. Shrimps are huge. They were nice and meaty, and they certainly don't skimp out on the garlic. I'll be returning shortly to try the other flavors on the menu.

    Spam Musubi

    YUM! I always hate it when the spam musubi is full of rice with a little bit of stuff, but these are definitely not the case! I would recommend to order online since it's one of those kitchen places where they have multiple vendors. The people at the front were super friendly and let me know that I can either order at the counter or online, and I went when it was close to closing time but I still got my order really fast. I love the spam with the hapa sauce, and I think the shrimp tempura was my favorite. Will definitely come visit again!

    Yummy Musubis!!! Been wanting to try this place for quite some time now and it didn't disappoint. Between the fam, we each had 2 and there was not a grain or rice left. In order of our favorites: Pineapple and Spam Musubi (5/5): Hands down the favorite for all of us; a classic musubi with pineapple?! The pineapple pairs so nicely with spam! Chicken Katsu Musubi (5/5): this was a super close second for us. A juicy piece of katsu chicken with pickled cabbage and sauce. Another great combo. Seaweed Musubi (3.5/5): not sure what the kiddo was thinking when he chose it. I think he thought there would be spam in there. It was...refreshing, but he wanted meat in there LOL Overall, the flavors all came together so nicely! We loved it. It was made fresh too - all nice and warm when we picked up our order. Can't wait to go back. And next time I think I'll pick up a bottle of POG too.

    They have one more weekend in operation before they close for good. It's so sad to see this awesome musubi place go :( They prepare the musubi fresh so it was hot when we picked it up. Chicken katsu was still so crispy and warm when I had it at home. Spam musubi was also so tasty and savory. I'll definitely visit next weekend for more musubi before they close!

    We were driving through town and was looking for some snacks. Hapa Musubi popped up on my map. Location is not retail but inside a warehouse near VTA. You have to order online which was fine as we only waited 10 minutes. Everything was piping hot as it was made to order. It was so good! We ordered the tofu katsu, Cali, and chicken katsu. Wished it was a little bigger or maybe full square! Will return to try other fillings. They share this location with a pastry business as well!

    Make sure to order online as they only do online pick ups! The place is shared with 2 other businesses and the store itself is tucked inside a warehouse and not a normal store front. Even with google maps giving me directions I almost missed the turn because I didn't realize it was in an industrial warehouse.. Musubis are packed individually and if you order multiple it'll come in a pink box! Tried the chicken katsu and spam + egg musubi! Enjoyed both of them. The katsu was still slightly crispy and the sauce and veggies that came with it made it delicious! This one was definitely my favorite. Also tried the loco moco bowl with Mac salad (you have to upgrade to get the Mac salad). The bowl was small and the taste was average. I personally would skip on their bowls and just order musubis.

    Our Hapa Musubi order today!

    Soooo, my kiddos love musubis. This is what they will choose to eat everyday when vacationing in Hawaii! I didn't know about Hapa Musubi til I ordered EatOn Monday which is operated out of the same kitchen in Milpitas with 43&company desserts which is what led me overall to this packed kitchen pushing all kinds of goodies out! I was intrigued when I saw the display sign so looked them up. It's made to order so you can't just drop by or walk up to get some. They need 30 minutes to prep so while standing there waiting for my EOM order, I placed an order for 5 different ones to try out. Funny enough - the Kids favorite of the 5 ordered are exactly how they printed the ticket or maybe how I ordered it lololol: Crunchy Spicy California Musubi Original Spam Musubi Chicken Katsu Musubi California Musubi Shrimp Tempura Musubi - least fav The musubi's in my opinion came with too much rice. Definitely didn't bother my kids at all. (3 rating) The POG juice is delicious! It's really good but on the pricey side. $13 for a large. (4 rating) I would definitely come back just for the POG which is passion, orange and guava juice. Being so residentially close, I'm already planning my order for today. Maybe just the California Musubi for my oldest and of course the POG!

    Hapa Musubi is located in Milpitas. I saw this place mentioned on Yelp and decided to check it out. It's located off Montague Expressway in a warehouse location. It shares a space with two other eateries -- 43 and Company and Eat On Monday -- housed in Catered Two Kitchen. The Hapa Musubi sign is easy to spot -- it's pink. As I walked up, I was told you have to order online. As I checked their website, I found it simple and easy to use. I ordered 4 Original Spam Musubi and Lola's Loco Moco Bowl. The wait was surprisingly short, and I soon got my food. The Loco Moco was delicious as was the Spam Musubi. I will have to make a return trip to try out more of their menu.

    California musubi 3/5, Chicken Katsu musubi 4/5, Spam & Egg musubi 5/5!
    Jess N.

    We ordered online and picked up (the only option available at the time of this review). Pick up time was ~30 mins after we ordered. Musubis were made fresh (still hot when we came at pickup time). We got: - Chicken katsu musubi: the red cabbage was a really nice addition to the chicken. Since we ate right when we got it, the chicken katsu was still kinda crunchy. Good flavor but not too special, would give this a 4/5. - Spam and egg: this one was my favorite!! 5/5, must get!! Very well flavored. OG combo :) - California musubi: my friend said it was just ok, she liked the chicken katsu better, 3/5. They share a space with 2 other shops, which is pretty economical. Location is kinda odd, trust your GPS.. look for their pink sign. Overall, pretty good! Just make sure you order online beforehand. A little bit pricey for musubi imo, but you're getting some quality food. Definitely worth checking out. Glad I got to support this small business :)

    A good quality Musubi is sooo underrated and Hapa provides deliciousness seaweed wrapped sandwiches? (is it technically a sandwich?) So we ordered a variety of different musubis: Cucumber & Spam, Chicken Katsu, & the original Spam.... all of which tasted delicious and would order it again! @phidingthefam

    Top row: cucumber and spam, seaweed salad, tofu katsu. Bottom: crab salad and avocado, chicken katsu.
    Ee Vonn Y.

    Kitchen pickup only. Service is nice. When I have a musubi craving from missing Hawaii, this is where I go. Cucumber and spam - Alright. Seaweed salad - More a fresh, simple palette cleanser. Tofu katsu (panko tofu, pickled red cabbage, katsu sauce, avocado) - The best item here! Lots of flavor, must order. Crab salad and avocado - Richer and creamy compared to the others. Chicken katsu - Close second to the tofu katsu musubi.

    Ask the Community - Hapa Musubi

    Is the hours on Yelp correct? Few hours on 3x a week? About where on Main Street are they located?

    Is there an option to walk-in and buy items? or should we always pre-order online?

    Are any of the menu items gluten free?

    Hi Shelly, the only gluten free items are California Musubi and Seaweed Salad Musubi.

    Is garlic shrimp still available? I'm trying to order?

    Hi, it’s not available today, but it’s usually on the menu. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The Dragon bowl was refreshing and not overly heavy, with a nice tropical flavor from the dragon fruit, pineapple, banana, and mango. The toppings added a good mix of crunch and sweetness. The Adaptogenic Mushroom Toast was probably my favorite. The mushrooms had a nice savory, earthy flavor and paired well with the toast and creamy toppings. The truffle oil and added avocados were exceptional. It was filling without feeling too heavy. Everything felt fresh and filling without being overly heavy. Prices are a little up there, but I like that there are a lot of plant-based options that actually taste good. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm looking for something healthier but still flavorful.

She will not make the slightest change and will give no reason. All I asked was to take out the basil seed and longan from my drink. She could have added more water or whatever if she was afraid that the juice would cost more money. But she just said no with no reasoning and stared at me to make my decision. When I asked why not, she said "we don't do that." I was hoping she could at least explain or give some kind of suggestion of what we could do instead. When I was trying to ask about that, she said "I TOLD YOU ALREADY WE DON'T DO THAT." To me, this is just inflexible, LAZY customer service. Other bambus were more than happy to make adjustments as it's cheaper to take out all the extra stuff. Why not make more money and make the customer happy? Plus this drink was 10 bucks with tax (and this is the smaller size). I just don't understand. Anyway will be happy to patronize the other Bambus that prioritize customers being happy!
