Food.

Every region of China. Every visit, something you've never tasted before. SE Michigan deserves the real thing — and we're bringing it.

The Real Thing.

This is us in action — serving real Chinese street food at live events across SE Michigan.

We Bring All of China to Ann Arbor

China isn't one cuisine — it's dozens of living culinary traditions, each as distinct as the regions they come from. Fiery Sichuan. Delicate Cantonese. Smoky Hunan. Shanghainese dumplings. Yunnan mushrooms. Every recipe carries a story from the source.

At Hao Chi, we don't offer a menu. We offer an experience.

SE Michigan deserves real Chinese food — not Americanized takeout. We're here to change that, one dish at a time.

We Test With Real People First

Nothing reaches our menu without passing the most important test: a table full of honest opinions. Before any dish goes public, we bring together a group of community tasters for an exclusive preview — and their feedback shapes what we serve.

01

Community Tasting Sessions

We gather a curated group before every new product or menu launch. You sit down, eat, and tell us exactly what you think — no filters. Your feedback shapes what we bring to market.

02

Pop-Up Preview Events

Limited-seat pop-ups where new dishes make their debut. These aren't dinner parties — they're live test kitchens. The community helps us get it right before the doors open wide.

03

Subscriber-First Access

Sign up below and you'll be the first to know when a tasting seat opens up. Spots fill fast. This is how we keep it real — and how you eat before anyone else does.

Be First at the Table

Early access to tasting events, pop-up announcements, new menu previews, and exclusive community gatherings. We only reach out when there's something worth tasting.
