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.
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
I was in the mood for a pho soup & this place came up! We went at 6pm on a Friday & there were just a few tables. The staff was friendly, the decor was nice. The spring rolls with chicken were really good, the little peanut sauce it came with was warm which was nice. The soup was honestly super flavourful & tasty. It's a good spot to check out:)
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
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!
