About the cart: Hapa served traditional Hawaiian food, including classics like musubi, a to-go-friendly snack. It’s traditionally made with spam, but the cart has other variants of rice wrapped in seaweed available. The cart also serves their in-house macaroni salad — a staple of every Hawaiian meal. The cart also serves island favorites like lemonade, served with a tropical umbrella in and in flavors like blue raspberry, strawberry, peach mango and the classic regular. Breakfast is available on weekends starting at 9 a.m.

Your first order should be: Tanya Welker says to start with the Hapa plate. It’s a dish with two scoops of rice and then a split of teriyaki chicken and Kaula pork. The plate comes with a side of teriyaki sauce, a Hawaiian sweet roll with butter and their mac salad. Welker says it’s “a taste of all the Hapa options.”

Fun fact: The cart will soon add a kids menu as well as dessert options. Welker is also playing with the menu, adding a pupu platter during football season, when Otto’s Landing has lots of sports fans catching games in the afternoon. Welker chose the name “Hapa” because it means “mixed” in Hawaiian and she is half Hawaiian. She also offers catering for outside events.
