ABOUT US :

Hai Hai is our tribute to everything we love about Southeast Asia. Bright & fresh dishes full of herbs, bold flavors & textures, drinks with tropical fruits & ingredients, and bustling spaces filled with lush greenery.

Our menu focuses on scratch-made small plates and shareable dishes inspired by street food from countries throughout Southeast Asia.

At Hai Hai, we designed the food, drinks & atmosphere to evoke nostalgia of tropical Asian places that are well-worn, well-loved and full of plants and vibrant colors.

We hope to give our guests an experience unlike any other they can get in Minneapolis and make it a special place for them.

The menu at Hai Hai is crafted by our Chef-Owner Christina Nguyen, who is a 2024 James Beard Award winner for Best Chef Midwest.

Inspired by dishes that she grew up eating at home, at family celebrations, in Vietnamese Sunday school basements & during several trips to Southeast Asia, you can expect to find more than just the standards like pho & pad thai.

Hai Hai shines the spotlight on some lesser-known delicious regional dishes, along with new & original dishes using the Southeast Asian palette of flavors.

Our cocktails are vacation drinks made with Southeast Asian ingredients & fruits. Since opening, Hai Hai has received numerous national and local awards, and positive press over the years.
