Hà

Très joli restaurant et service sympathique et décontracté. Si les rouleaux de printemps au smoked meat m’ont moins convaincus, tout le reste est frais et très goûteux, voir même réconfortant.
Mention spéciale pour le boeuf grillé servi saignant qui est délicieux et accompagné de légumes tout aussi intéressants. La salade de papaye épicée vaut aussi le détour.
Si on pourrait qualifier l’endroit comme étant le restaurant vietnamien le plus cher de Montréal (voir le plus cher de l’unviers — on pense au Tuk Tuk sur Côte-​des-​Neiges et ses soupes à 2.95 $), Hà propose probablement l’expérience thailandaise la plus authentique de toute la métropole.

I did think it was definitely a-​ok! The room is beautiful, I love the light and décor and the service was friendly. It’s comfortable and elegant and not too fussy and it’s location across from the park is dreamy.
The food didn’t blow me away but I did like the pad thai I had with it’s super soft and savoury pork, the ingredients all tasted fresh and clean and delicate. (I know, not a good authentic choice for a Vietnamese place but I had a craving.) I would love to go back to try some of their delicious sounding cocktails. One of my dining companions was pretty bummed by the broth in her soup so I’d avoid that and explore more of the small plates next time.

Amazing little joint with great service. Go for a bike tour around the corner at Fitz and Folwell and then come here for a quick bite and vino. Really fresh and tasty.

I have been there twice, and it’s one of the best Asian restaurants in the neighborhood. First things first: good drinks. Then, all of the food items I have ordered are delicious. The kind of place where you can shut down your eyes, point to a coupe of things on the menu, and no matter what it is, it will be delicious. You want to be amazed and surprised? Try the buns. I have been thinking about the buns again for several days, imagining the texture in my mouth, wondering how they make it so moist, and how they give the «bread» this black color?! It’s a place to go amongst adults (like a date, or a night out with girl friends, etc.); they were friendly when we brought our baby in, but it’s just not convenient given the setting.
I want to go back (again)!

Excellent rapport qualité prix, bonne nourriture asiatique, service décontracté!

Not open til 11pm on Sunday, as written here and on google. No hours posted on the website.

Accidentally stumbled on this place. The pork buns and crispy tofu I had were fantastic. The outside seating is nice with lots of greenery.

Pros: Nice seating, Outdoor patio, Fusion food
Cons: Service, Prices
–Ambiance–
A nice place to grab lunch or dinner if you’re in the mood for Viet food with a bit of a twist. The service for us was not so great but we could have overlooked that. We had the lunch menu and it offered a good variation. The prices range from 10 – 28 $ for lunch. Tbh a bit pricey for a Vietnamese person who’s use to paying less/​nothing for her people’s food.
–Food–
Coconut Soup: It came with the lunch, you had a choice of soup or papaya salad, I thought it was OK nothing too great. Think of a thai coconut red curry in a lighter soup version with some noodles.
Thai Papaya Salad: This was a solid app, the fresh vegetables are mixed in a well balanced and flavoured sauce. Lacked a little spiciness kick that I’m use to.
Banh Mì: Ok, so I am use to paying 3 $ for banh mi so when we ordered this for 14 $ I was expecting to be blown away. Unfortunately that was not the case, don’t get me wrong it was good but I expected more for the price. The bread is grilled and the whole sandwich was warm.
Catch of the Day aka Octopus /​Pieuvre: The dish that saved this place from 3 star rating, so you should kinda get it. It was a serving of grilled octopus served with asparagus, watercress and other vegetable mix. The octopus was tender and well marinated. The dish really did keep true to Vietnamese flavours, from the octopus marinade to the salad vinaigrette to the side dipping sauce. A dish worth its price and worth a revisit.
–Overall–
A step up in price and ambiance from your usual Viet cozy/​crazy restaurants. You’re paying for a prettier seating plan and a twist on flavours.

I Went their for lunch and like a previous reviewer wrote the menu is limited.
We had the imperial roll (5 $ for one) a bit pricey,
and the coconut soup for starters, both were very good. For mains we had a very delicious pad thai with shrimp and pork, definitely worth trying, as well as a mediocre shrimp in 5 spice dish. Service was a bit slow for the mains but overall it was an enjoyable meal. I look forward to going back and trying their other dishes available for supper only.

My friend invited me to lunch here and I got super excited to see laksa on the menu. I was disappointed to find this did not make the cut for their lunch menu, but quickly came around when I took a sip of my Coconut Soup – SO good. We also enjoyed their very tasty Imperial Rolls to start and split the Catch of the Day (Octopus) and the 5 Spice Shrimp Wok for the mains. Every dish we had was stellar and the ambiance is great – very nice terrace if the weather permits. Can’t wait to go back for dinner to try the laksa.

I was verrry curious about Ha when it first opened on Mont Royal. I finally tried it with a friend of mine last week for lunch. At first, we were disappointed with the limited lunch menu compared to the extensive dinner menu online. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Lunch includes a soup or papaya salad so here’s what we ordered in the end:
1. Coconut soup — SO flavourful. Exactly the mix of tangy, creamy and salty with a kick from a Southeast Asian soup.
2. Imperial rolls — We shared the deep fried rolls with veggies and fish sauce on the side. Really tasty!
3. Catch of the Day: Grilled octopus with rice and watercress salad — The combo of all three were perfect in this dish… The smokiness from the grill, the sesame from the rice and the acidity from the salad with watercress and pickled onions.
4. Five spice shrimp — You can never really go wrong with anything five-​spice, and this shrimp did not disappoint. It’s super satisfying and goes very well with the rice and sauteed veggies on the side.
Most DEFINITELY would recommend Ha for lunch! I will definitely be coming back for their dinner menu on a pleasant evening to sit on their terrace!

It was difficult to rate Hà but I’ve settled with 3 stars and will come back with a recap after I return for dinner. We went at 2:30pm and the lunch had just finished so there were only 4 things available on the menu; a phở soup, imperial rolls, shrimp chips and edamame. The service was terrible. The staff barely even noticed we were there. The waitress mixed up our simple order of one soup, one spring roll and never brought us cutlery or napkins, I had to get up and retrieve them myself. It’s one thing if she said «oops I forgot cutlery» as she laid the food down, but to walk away and ignore, and make your customer work, is a big no-​no. The soup was really good. It came with no accoutrements (or perhaps they were forgotten too) but the broth was flavourful, the noodles were heavenly and the meat tasted like filet mignon. The spring/​imperial rolls were, well, one small fried roll– for a hefty price. But good. In all, good food, a bit expensive and bad service. I will come back though, for a dinner service, and update.

vietnamese pub. Great little jewel in plateau. superb food at good price = price quality ratio spot on ! combined with fun and courteous service — you can’t go wrong here. was lucky enough to enjoy the patio. love it !

Love that place! Subtile south east asian food with cool twists!
Laksa= best ever!

Had wanted to try this place for a while, but even the good reviews I’d read couldn’t draw me up to the Plateau during the brutally cold first two months of 2015. We finally ventured out tonight and were not disappointed.
Re reservations, we called this afternoon and got the recorded message that we should email, which we did. We got a call back about half an hour later offering us a 6pm or 8.30pm table for 2. There was in fact quite a lot of space when we got there at 8.30, with a free table for 6, and several tables for 2. The restaurant was in fact maybe 70% full.
I liked the décor, which I found simple and tasteful. I particularly liked that they have hooks for your coats, especially since I had been saying just a couple of days previously that I don’t understand why all Montréal cafés and restaurants don’t have cloakrooms/​coat hooks.
And so to the food: We tried the papaya salad and pork buns for starters, and followed with the lemongrass ribs and the catch of the day, which was grilled arctic char served with a coconut milk and curry sauce and accompanied by sweet potato noodles and shredded daikon.
The papaya salad was good but not as spicy as Satay Brothers. The pork buns were really good. I loved that they were black (from squid ink), and the sauce on the pork was excellent. It was a typical Asian taste that I find hard to describe — a touch of sweetness and a tad of sourness, with neither taste overwhelming the other. And there was just the right amount so that it was succulent, risked oozing from the bun, but didn’t make it soggy.
The arctic char was really, really good. I expected way more sauce, but in fact there was really just a touch to set the perfectly grilled fish off. The noodles and daikon had the a couple of Thai Basil leaves on top, but I felt that they would have been better shredded and mixed in. It was just missing a little something to make it an excellent dish.
The lemongrass ribs had been slow-​cooked sous vide (vacuum cooked) and the meat (a good amount of it) fell off the bone easily and completely. They were a nice change from barbecue or spicy flavours, fresh and tangy in taste. They were served, or rather, decorated with a few slices of vegetables and edamame in a lemony sauce.
We washed it all down with beer. I tried the Bia Hoi on draft (they also have Boreale and a selection of imported bottles of Asian beer). The Bia Hoi is a lager with a nice golden colour and fine bubbles. I’d expected something more German in style so it was a nice surprise.
The service: We were a tad late and the restaurant called me to see whether they should wait for us or could give our table away. I didn’t think anything of it till I got there and found there were plenty of tables. :-/​We were served with water quickly and got our menus shortly after, but I had to ask what the catch of the day was. The waiter was friendly and the service was prompt.
The bill was very reasonable at just under $ 75 for two.

Excellent dîner toujours aussi bon toutefois, les rouleaux dégoulinent de gras. Un passage sur un papier absorbant serait requis.
Les goûts et les saveurs sont originaux et vraiment excellent.

Une expérience différente des autres restos vietnamiens à Montréal, Hà a créé une carte formée de plusieurs petits plats à partager, réinventés! Vous pouvez aussi garder votre assiette pour vous, mais vous vous priverez de goûter à la variété des plats. J’ai aimé l’ensemble des plats que j’ai mangés, particulièrement ceux qui incorporaient des fruits, ce qui vient ajouter de la fraîcheur aux assiettes. Bien que le menu offraient des cocktails, au moment où nous y sommes allées (soit la première semaine), le bar n’était pas encore prêt. Pour un nouveau resto, j’ai été très impressionnée par la qualité du service et le roulement entre nos plats. Pas de longue attente comme on voit habituellement dans les nouveaux restos, ni de plats à moitié réussis. Essayez le dessert, la texture des bulles de tapioca avec la crème glacée et les fruits rend le tout unique. Bravo!

Wow. Tout était délicieux. Le saumon au lait de coco était particulièrement à se jeter par terre, même chose pour les pétoncles, dont la cuisson était parfaite.
La vinaigrette maison sésame ail coriandre (je crois) servi sur les fèves edamame était tres goûteuse, je tenterai de la reproduire chez moi.
J’ai vraiment hâte d’y retourner.

Que ce soit le takaki de boeuf, le poulet frit, le saumon au lait de coco ou les meilleurs rouleaux impériaux, crevettes poêlées.
Bön service, belle terrasse.
On nous promet que le menu va changer régulièrement

Côté désappointement, eh bien, on est servi. C’est du vietnamien de boutique. Pas trop mauvais mais pas du tout authentique. Ma copine est très sensible au MSG et a du prendre un bon café, à la maison, pour se calmer le système.
Pour les Réservations, il faudra corriger le tir. Ils né répondent pas au téléphone et leur message vous suggère d’envoyer un courriel, alors que le maître des lieux me dit qu’ils n’ont pas le temps de les lire.
Le service est très collégial, c’est a dire pas très professionnel et inégal selon le talent de chacun.
C’est un peu cher pour la qualité et né sont pas à la hauteur pour les journées de grande affluence.

J’habite juste à côté, et c’est bon de savoir qu’il y a un très vietnamien à deux coins de rue de chez soi.
Le cadre est très cosy et chaleureux et j’ai eu la chance de profiter de la terasse: très agréable face au parc Jeanne mance.
Pour ce qui est de la nourriture c’est vraiment très bon ce que j’ai goûté que ce soit la soupe coco où encore les dés de boeuf en wok. D’ailleurs pour le menu lunch ça n’a coûté que 16 $. Je reviendrai très rapidement pour essayer d’autres mets sur la carte. Je recommande vivement cette place.

Le nouveau «Hà» est très sympa, bouffe/​menu (takaki de boeuf/​poulet frit/​saumon lait de coco), nouvel intérieur moderne & design, petite terrasse en avant, très bon service, j’y retourne dès que j’en ai la chance ! Il y avait déjà pas mal de gens et personnalités artistiques même pour un mercredi soir lors de ma visite. Ça va être assurément très populaire comme endroit couru dorénavant sur Mont-​Royal.
