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.
Amazing taste, best thai food I've had in Montreal! Great setting!
There's a downstairs too with a speakeasy vibe. Great drinks up & down stairs!
Enjoy!
2nd time going there & it was an absolute delight! Everything is great: superb service, food & drinks ! The Mahi-Mahi crudo was to die for, & the broccolis are incredible too! Overall great restaurant.

Such a great experience! We got the « table d'hôte » special dinner for the Valentines Day for 65$ ( serving 2 people) & we loved it! Inusitate flavours & very good portions! We even got a delicious complimentary drink! The staff was very welcoming & went above to provide us with a wonderful service. I'm still craving the incredible fried brocolli dish & the pho soup!! The only thing that was a little bit disturbing was the noise coming from the dance club that runs underground that the same space & it made conversation a little bit hard. But we are definetly coming back!
Celebrating a special birthday evening, thanks to Restaurant Hà, & Francisco & Co!
All of us delighted with a dinner of delicious Pad Thai, salmon, bao buns…Yum! & copius amount of drinks ( I am still recovering!).
Ending the late night at the Nhâu Bar with amazing music from a top DJ Francisco.. the place was buzzing!
A special thanks to the amazing staff who all make creating such a magical evening!
Please try this amazing Vietnamese restaurant ! Not only one of the cutest restaurant in the area with a secret bar in the basement, but the food is absolutly amazing! The service is very efficient & the staff always has good suggestions. Their drinks are also very good & refreshing (I only take mocktails & tried a few of them, always satisfied). As for food, their fried brocoli is definitly my favorite!
Service was not up to standards… waited 30min to even get greeted by waitress to order drinks.. the helper was the one that ended taking our order… despite that experience, the food was incredible…
Food was great, however service was awful. Extremely slow - 30 minutes & more in between sightings of our waiter. Had to call him over just to get a second drink. Service used to be much better so sad that it's gone downhill.

Great ambiance & friendly service. However the Pho was missing noodles & we had to send it back. Pretty fundamental error but the friendly waiter comped my drink.
Vibe is nice but food was not interesting..less options & small quantity. We were 6 people..we went there after work. Drinks are good but food was a deception
Super vibe in a great dark speakeasy. A bit hard to see but I guess that's the setting they want to have. Good music & unique drinks to fit the Asian bar theme

We had a great time at HA this past weekend. The ambiance & drinks were real standouts (nice but not huge wine list as well). The food was tasty & the menu had great, diverse options. Our favorite dishes were the fried brocoli & the butternut scallops. Special shoutout to out server Loic who made sure we were well taken care of, despite having short staff!
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.
Un des meilleurs restaurants à Montréal selon moi. Les plats , les drinks , le service , l'ambiance. Tout est là pour des soirées mémorables! J'en suis à ma 3e visites & j'ai déjà hâte à ma 4e !

Great place to eat, food is great, lots of fun drinks. Good atmosphere also. There's a bar section downstairs & a restaurant section upstairs, big terrace in the summer. What's not to like?
Food was incredible! Buns are out of this world & they adjust the spiciness of the pad thai to our taste. The drinks are great (a little too much ice, but great in taste) The service was a little slow, there were some mistakes on the bills. But we were a group of 16 & they still managed to get all the dishes out at the same time.
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.
I want to rate the overall experience as a five star rating because the food from the chef & drinks from the bartender is off the chart delicious but the hostess was not giving us good vibes. Maybe she was having a bad day but it rubbed us the wrong way. Our waitress seemed to be carrying too many tables so she wasn't able to give us the attention because her time was limited.
