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!

First time there & definitely not the last!
Very good food & amazing service (special thanks to Jessica)!
We tried a lot of things, our favorites were:
- crispy broccolis
- beef ribs
- crudo Mahi mahi
- tum yum soup
- Pad thai with extra roll
- coconut tapioca dessert
Definitely recommends!
Great service, great atmosphere - the pad thai & bao buns & cocktails were all delicious. Highly recommend for a date or girls night dinner - make a reservation!
We came here because a few reviews mentioned vegan & the menu also mentions it on the pad Thai. Even though we're vegan we always mention my partner's shellfish allergy because better safe than sorry. I swear if he didn't have that allergy we wouldn't ever get vegan food.
The tofu that is offered on the menu under the pad Thai is fried in the same oil as the shellfish which isn't vegan or vegetarian. & they don't have any tofu that can just be cooked on top. I'm not sure who they're offering tofu to if it's not for the vegans or vegetarians.
Sometimes I feel that restaurants add the word vegan on their menu just to do it, not because they actually want to offer an option for people who choose to not eat animal products.
The only options we had were the edamame & the pad Thai without the tofu.
The only pro was that our server was nice & the place was nice.
But from seating to getting our main meal was 1 hour, so don't go hungry.
Tout était excellent! Les rouleaux croustillants de M. Hà toujours aussi bons & que dire du pad thaï au porc avec crevettes bien croquantes! Meilleur pad thaï!!
The service was friendly & exceptional from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. Our server was incredibly helpful in identifying vegan options for our table. The food was delicious & satisfying. I've never had pad Thai with such a dynamic flavour. The sauce was sweet but not too sweet; it was tangy & bright without being sour. The tofu bao were amazing! They had to change up the sauces for us so please let them know of any allergies or dietary preferences.
Ganz Klasse!! Selten so lecker gegessen, egal ob vietnamesisch oder anderes. Die Vorspeisen waren super: Crispy Brocolli und Crispy Shrimps; aber die Hauptspeisen haben es noch getoppt: Pad Thai und Nagano Pork Ribs (mein Favorite).
HA est désormais un de mes endroits préférés à Montréal. Samedi dernier, j'y ai passé un moment formidable dans leur bar du sous-sol, parfait pour commencer & finir la soirée. Leur cuisine fusion propose des plats inventifs & délicieux - j'ai adoré leur Pad Thaï. Le personnel était d'une gentillesse & d'une attention rare! & pouvoir terminer la soirée en dansant avec un DJ sur place, c'était génial. Il y a peu d'endroits comme ça à Montréal… j'y retournerai très bientôt !
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!

Excellent resto, plats originaux & service impeccable. La burrata thai est une belle découverte pleine de saveurs. Belle terrasse en plus, je recommande.
Bien aimé mon expérience dans ce restaurant! Ça faisait longtemps que je voulais essayer l'étage du haut, car j'étais déjà allée au bar au rez-de-chaussée.
Le serveur était extrêmement gentil!!
Points forts :
-Brocolis frits : wow, un vrai coup de coeur!
-Mocktail basilic Smoush : absolument délicieux!
J'ai moins aimé le bao au boeuf, il y avait très peu de viande & ce n'était pas assez garni en légumes. Le pad thaï au porc & aux crevettes était malheureusement trop épicé pour moi.
Le service a été un peu long vers la fin : plusieurs clients sont arrivés en même temps & les serveurs semblaient débordés. On a attendu longtemps pour avoir notre facture.
Mais somme toute, je suis très contente de cette belle expérience là-bas!
Food is very very good with twists on the originals. Some of the best flavors I have had for Thai/Viet food anywhere in the world. Only exception was the Tom Yum which did not taste anything like what one will get in Thailand.

My daughter & I have been regulars at Hà on Mont-Royal since forever. We were so sa d when it shut down but we have just moved to Griffintown & we're so excited to be once again within walking distance of these amazing asian fusion creations. Mr. Hà's salmon & the pad Thai were just as tasty as we remembered & we can't wait to be back for more!
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.
Expérience de menu de groupe pour un anniversaire, comme toujours, plats savoureux cependant, difficile de partager un pad thai à 3-4 personnes. Il aurait été bien de servir des assiettes pour 2 au lieu de 3 car nous étions 8 à la table pour 3 plats, pas évident à partager. Cocktails divins autant côté resto qu'au Nhau Bar. Service ultra attentionné & sympathique, ambiance wow.
