Hai Hai is chef and co-owner Christina Nguyen's Southeast Asian street-food restaurant in Northeast Minneapolis, opened in 2017 with business partner Birk Grudem in the former 22nd Avenue Station dive bar (the name nods to "twenty-two" in Vietnamese). In 2024 Nguyen won the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Midwest, becoming the first Vietnamese woman to take a Beard cooking medal; the restaurant was earlier named among the best new restaurants in the country by Eater, Thrillist, and Esquire. Alongside its tropical craft cocktails, Hai Hai keeps a small, named spirit-free trio whose names are Vietnamese numerals — Mot, Hai, and Ba (one, two, three). The drinks lean on house-made cordials and shrubs built from the kitchen's bright pantry of lychee, jackfruit, guava, grapefruit, rhubarb, strawberry, and ginger. Reservations via Resy; walk-ins welcome.
