HÀ brings Vietnam's lively Bia Hoi tradition of sipping fresh beer on busy street corners to Montreal. Laos-born Chef Ross and Vietnamese late icon Chef Hong Hà Nguyen's menu is inspired by their favourite street foods and meant to pair with the bar's diverse selection of wines and fresh beers.
Diners describe Restaurant Hà as a lively, upscale fusion spot with warm, attentive service and a buzzy yet intimate vibe. The menu earns praise for inventive, flavorful dishes such as the fried broccoli, Mahi Mahi crudo, Pad Thai, bao buns, crab chips, and comforting coconut tom yum salmon, with many noting that tasting menus or sharing plates make for a satisfying experience. A recurring highlight is the fried broccoli, often called a must-try, along with well crafted cocktails and the hidden Nhau Bar downstairs that adds a special ambience. Several reviews commend the staff for friendly, helpful service, though a few mention occasional slower pacing or longer waits during busy times. Noise from the underground club can be disruptive for conversation on busier nights, and vegan guests sometimes find limited tofu options or cross contamination concerns in Pad Thai. Prices and portions are seen as reasonable by many, though some feel portions could be larger for the cost. Overall, Restaurant Hà emerges as a standout choice for celebrations or dates, with a memorable atmosphere, but it is wise to book ahead and note dietary preferences.

Shared a delicious meal with a friend & we very much enjoyed our experience. Casual yet elegant atmosphere. We ordered the fried broccoli appetizer, the crab chips, & shared some bao buns. Everything was exquisite & tasty. Wonderful attentive service as well, staff is friendly & efficient. Will come back!
The best food & service we had in Montreal! We went with the waiter's suggestions & they were all fabulous. Broccoli a MUST HAVE, especially if you don't like broccoli...you will be converted.
Lovely experience & surprisingly not too expensive for old montreal. Fried Broccoli is divine (trust i also was hesitant to order broccoli) & loved the tom yum soup!

Food was good . Server seemed less polite . Great presentation on food . We ordered the crispy broccoli , crab chips , edamame & lemon chicken as main course . There was happy hour before 6 pm . Ordered the flyer d'Orient
It was great experience as soon as we walked in. The host seated us right away. Our waiter recommended drinks, food brought us some shots. The food was great & could be shared with a small group like ours. The spicy broccoli is a must order. I will never eat it any other way.
Went to Ha for the first time. Arthur, the waiter was extremely accommodating. Excellent knowledge of all their list of sake. Food was excellent, especially the fried broccoli. To die for. My salmon was perfect.
Staff were nice & the drinks were great. The food was good - the spicy broccoli was as good as everyone said it was - we even ordered it again it was that good. The pad Thai was good flavor but it felt a little soft/over cooked but it didn't bother us much. The beef dish was okay - the broth was very flavorful but the beef itself was tough & pretty dry despite being in broth. Atmosphere was nice though & decor was very pretty.
Delicious food & amazing service. The staff was super kind & helpful. The place is perfect for a date night, as well as a birthday dinner with friends.
The fried broccoli are a must!
Highly recommended!
If I said that the broccoli was the best part of a meal, that would probably sound like I hated it, but man, the fried broccoli here is out of this world. The tuna tataki & the salmon tartare were also excellent in their own right, but I couldn't stop eating that broccoli. I'll be back.
