It's just so special here in every way. Some of the best and fresh take on food around! The Leeks and Mussels dish is an all time favorite! and the yuba so delicious... Burnt meringue and tapioca desserts are a must.
Was disappointed with what was a fairly highly rated restaurant. Nice dining room and attentive (almost over attentive) staff. Food was okay. Lots of fish sauce. Tried entrees only as the mains did not excite. The cuttlefish was well marinated and delicious. Enjoyed the whole soft shell crab. The fried beancurd with meat and prawns was well done. The mussels on leek was ok. It did not match the “scrambled” eggs that the leeks was sitting on. They used Maggi sauce and Fish Sauce. The Pork Chop was more lean (too lean) Pork Loin deep fried with breadcrumbs. The Vietnamese normally deep fried with batter (which we thought was coming). It turned out much like slightly over done Pork Katsu. Overall the food was okay but overpriced for what we can get elsewhere.
One of the best dining experiences of my life. The food was outstanding, and the service was excellent. It’s hard to find places this genuine and cool in NYC. Ha’s Bistrot is truly special. I highly recommend the leeks.
Top meal of the year in NYC so far! From start to finish everything was impeccable and didn't let up at all- drinks, apps, mains, desserts, decor, bathroom vibes, unlimited rice & bread, friendly service with free drinks for barely perceptible delays, and great music! Can't wait to bring more friends and try their sister restaurant as well! Was reassured by the reviews from Viet people, now me included!!! :D FRIED YUBA WITH PORK, SHRIMP & SWEET NUOC MAM FLUKE CRUDO WITH GREEN BLUEBERRY & SHISO LEEKS VINAIGRETTE WITH MAGGI & MARINATED MUSSELS SOFTSHELL CRAB WITH GARLIC & 'HEAVEN FACING CHILI’ STEAMED BLACKFISH WITH NUOC MAM & LETTUCES HA'S MARTINI NUOC MAM ON THE ROCKS STRAWBERRIES & CREAM PROFITEROLES
