"From a verdant, intensely savory banana blossom salad to dill and turmeric-packed cha ca la vong, James Beard-winning chef Christina Nguyen offers one of the Cities’ most compelling menus at Hai Hai, a staple for Southeast Asian cuisine. Don’t overlook the cocktail menu: The slushies (think passionfruit and lychee) are a must at any time of the year. Grab a seat on the patio or in the restaurant’s breezy interior, dressed in tropical hues of emerald and turquoise." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
