The food is widely praised for freshness and flavor, with several dishes noted as especially tasty and beautifully presented, and the menu described as innovative and good for sharing. Cocktails are frequently highlighted as excellent and inventive, though a few diners feel prices are high for what is delivered. Service is often praised for friendliness and attentiveness, yet there are isolated critiques of uneven or slow service and one New Years Eve experience that left guests frustrated and seeking refunds.

I went during'Happening Gourmand' & was able to try a 3 course meal. I was so happy they were on the list because I've been very eager to go. Honestly, the dishes were okay but the drinks won me ever! So did the bartender! The drinks were so beautiful & delicious. It's definitely a place I'll stop by for drinks but that's all.
Beau-ti-ful place. (jungle atmosphere) The food is amazing & the drinks are so cute !! It's the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or to eat well in a pleasant & different ambience.

This place is an amazing spot to settle down, eat high quality vietnamese food, drink marvelous & unique cocktails & just hang out with friends or family! Favorite spot near the Old Port !
I have mixed feelings about this upscale Vietnamese restaurant. We were so excited to try this new Instagrammable restaurant. The first thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the host: she was unfriendly & to be honest, even rude. Not sure if it was a bad day for her, but I believe the professional attitude (especially when you're the first that customers see when they come in) is at least to pretend to be nice. The highlight of this place is the cocktails. They are well balanced, original & delicious. The food was not holistically good. What I mean by that is that the ingredients were quality & fresh, but the sauce & the balance were not to the point, always missing the mark. For example, it was either too salty from too much sauce or one dish even felt like they used sweet chili sauce from the jar. We were a big group, so was limited in time for 2 hours. The waiter was super nice & friendly, but we had to leave at the 2-hour mark, although no one was waiting for our seats. This is a place you go once for the experience, but will not earn my money again. What they did well: - Drinks - It's beautiful, although it does like better on IG - the waiter we had was very friendly & polite Rooms for improvements: - definitely replacing the host we got (1/26/24 at 6pm) for someone more suitable to greet people - the dishes ! Great ideas & concepts, but execution is not there yet on all the dishes
I went with a group of four girls for their NYE event which was supposed to continue until 3am but had already died down after 12:30am. Overall, we had a great time, the staff were friendly & they tried their best to make it an enjoyable evening. Had to wait a very long time at the bar to be served but the staff were super kind nonetheless! Not necessarily the place for dancing, people weren't very invested in the music & the place wasn't that full either, but definitely a great place for a calm dinner & drink, if that's what you're looking for! :)
We had an absolutely amazing time at Hang Bar! The food & drinks were simply delicious, the service was exceptional & the ambiance was nothing short of incredible. Thank you so much for providing such a memorable New Year's experience. We will be back the next time we are in Montreal!

I recently went to Hang Bar, a Vietnamese restaurant, & I have mixed feelings about the experience. The first thing that struck me was the charming aesthetic of the place, it's beautifully designed & visually pleasing. The service was also on point, with attentive staff. However, I did encounter a significant downside during my visit - the loud music. It was so deafening that I couldn't even hold a conversation with my friend. While the music itself was enjoyable, I felt it was a bit overbearing, especially given that it was 10 pm, & I presume they wanted to create a lively ambiance. Moving on to the food, I had a bit of a hit-&-miss experience. We ordered the ribs hai hau, which had a generous portion for $19, but it felt like it needed something on the side to make it a complete meal. The banh mi fois gras was a disappointment; it was exceptionally small, not even 6 inches, & priced at $22, which felt overpriced for what you got. On the bright side, the Da Nang fried wings were delicious, but they proved to be a challenge to eat gracefully in a setting that seemed more suited for fine dining. Where Hang Bar did shine was in their cocktails. The cocktails were top-notch, & if I were to return, it would likely be for the drinks. In summary, Hang Bar is a cute spot with a great aesthetic, good service, & fantastic cocktails. However, the loud music, mixed food quality, & pricing for some dishes make me hesitate to return for a full dining experience. If I were to go back, it would be only for a cocktail outing.
Tried this place twice & had a great experience on both counts. Beautiful dreamy decor, the food is excellent, drinks are really nice always with a touch of fabulous. Service very attentive & friendly. Worth every $. Please keep up the good work! :)
I reserved a table for my birthday supper & all I can say is that every aspect of my experience was top notch! The food was perfectly curated to fit the theme they embody, with amazing flavour combinations that pleasantly surprised me. The drinks were very unique & delicious, especially the one with popping boba in it (which I’ve never seen done before in a restaurant!). Not to mention, the place is gorgeous & definitely worthy of taking photos. Special thanks to Marc-Olivier the manager who made us feel welcome & took great care of us all night. Would definitely recommend Hang for those looking to celebrate a special event or just to go have a drink!:)

Really enjoyed the atmosphere & food here. They have a good variety of food from wings to bone marrow. The service was great. Drinks could be better but a great experience. Atmosphere & decor is excellent
