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.
I had an incredible dining experience at HÀ. From the moment I arrived, the staff took exceptional care of my table, ensuring everything was perfect throughout the night. Their attention to detail & warm hospitality truly stood out. Every dish, from appetizers to mains & desserts, was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented & packed with flavor. The cocktails were a highlight as well; perfectly crafted, balanced, & original. The ambiance & decor added to the experience: warm & elegant. Thank you to the team & manager Francisco!
Les plats ne sont pas tous égaux , j'ai quand même adoré leurs brocolis frits, un délice. Pat contre le reste était exagéré rapport qualité prix, c'est bien trop cher pour le type de nourriture & les très petites quantités. Nous avons attendu beaucoup de temps également.
Excellente cuisine, plats savoureux & très bon service. Les rouleaux sont un must en tout temps ainsi que les ailes de poulet laquées.. Mais tout est bon. ;)

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.
Nous sommes clients depuis des années, nourriture est excellente mais le service mis en place dernière pour les commandes en ligne ou la réservation de table est maintenant tellement compliqué que nous avons donc supprimé ce restaurant de notre liste. Tout se fait en ligne, il est absolument impossible de parler à qui que ce soit pour une réservation de table ou pour toute autre information pertinente. Le service à la clientèle est à revoir Hà, c'est ainsi que doucement & graduellement vous perdez votre clientèle.
Nous étions un groupe de 23 personnes. Nous avions choisi avant la soirée entre 2 menus, le plus nombreux remporte. C'était 2 services avec plusieurs plats Laotiens ou vietnamiens chacun. Ayant voyagé dans ces pays j'ai beaucoup apprécié la cuisine de chez Há, c'était délicieux. La carte des vins & saké offre un grand choix. Juste hâte d'y retourner. Un seul hic, le choix des pourboires sur le terminal n'a pas l'option 15% automatique & c'est calculé après taxes.

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!
The service left a lot to be desired. Several small situations made the experienced feel very low quality. While placing our order, our server stopped listening to me because another staff member had to tell her something, which is unprofessional & should have waited. Additionally, there was a comment made that came across as backhanded, & my entire party noticed it, which dampened the mood. While the quality of the food was impressive & deserves praise, the service significantly affected our overall experience. I hope these issues can be addressed because the potential for a great dining experience is definitely there.
