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!
went there with a friend, nice place for weeknight lounge vibe & chit chat, food is real & delicious, plates are.. unique…un belle espace pour se procurer un petit pain au boeuf moelleux ou des fruits de mer crus.
the vibes are really nice, would reccomend for date night. the servers are also extremely friendly. I got the Mr. Ha Traditional Pho & it was delicious.
Great place for a date night or a get together with friends. The vibes are always chill. The food quality & value is at it's best here. The food never disappoints & the bill is very affordable.

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
Ça vaut la peine de se rendre jusqu'au dessert. La crème glacée du moment en vaut la peine, même si c'est à la vanille. Les cocktails sont toujours bons. On a seulement pris un cocktail & un dessert, c'est un nice vibe pour une date. J'ai déjà mangé les brocolis une fois précédente, & c'est très umami. L'ambiance en vaut la peine, mais soyez prêts à prendre votre temps, le service n'est pas précipité.
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.
Beautiful restaurant, well decorated & amazing food. Special mention to the service who offered a glass of prosecco for our wedding anniversary. Such a cool vibe
Food was excellent, service was slow & I feel like they just forgot about us. Waitress finished her shift but didn't even come to check to see if we wanted something else. Otherwise staff is very friendly & restaurant has a nice vibe
