The Hai Description

What used to be Kangaroo – a neighborhood dive on Yongjia Lu – was bought by new owners in 2020 and reopened as The Hai, a similarly easy-going watering hole with sports bar undertones.

For years the joint didn’t have a food license and was left allowing carry-in or hosting pop-ups, but all that changed this past season when they welcomed consulting chef Matty Waters (previously of The Smokehouse x The Camel) on board to launch a slew of comfort eats that rival the best of ‘em. Think burgers, wings, sandos, pizzas, and bowls, with a whole lotta specials and deals.
