Ha's Dac Biet is a cozy fusion bistro where Vietnamese flavors meet French cuisine, showcasing delightful small plates like pork belly and rich pâté chaud.
"One of New York’s hottest and longest running pop-ups, Ha’s Đặc Biệt now has a brick and mortar in the former Gem Wine space on the Lower East Side. We've loved the Vietnamese pop-up with their rotating menu—featuring things like an egg-scallion bánh mi, and oysters with a glossy nuoc mam, and we’re looking forward to their wine and snack bar too.

"A Vietnamese brick-and-mortar spot from Anthony Ha and Sadie Mae Burns, focusing on Vietnamese flavors and snacks." - Bettina Makalintal
"Anthony Ha and Sade Mae Burns have built a following by running of one NYC’s most exciting pop-ups under the Ha’s Đặc Biệt name. Now, they’ve opened Ha’s Snack Bar, an offshoot, and permanent headquarters for a rotating selection of Vietnamese-influenced snack items in a bistro atmosphere flowing with natural wine. This husband-wife team really knows how to make a dining room feel warm and the tight quarters work to their benefit — the kind of place that is filled with casual exuberance that feels like an extension of a dinner party they might host at home." - Emma Orlow, Eater Staff
"Ha’s Snack Bar, a Vietnamese wine bar on the Lower East Side, is a great place to bring a date. From the team behind beloved pop-up Ha’s Đặc Biệt, it’s plenty romantic—dimly lit by paper lamps and votive candles, with fogged-up windows and a billowing curtain at the door. A party of two is also ideal to navigate the close quarters of the former Gem Wine space. Ha's open kitchen is tiny too, but that’s no reflection on the magnitude of the flavors they turn out here. The chalkboard menu changes, but on recent visits we loved the snails—which arrive sizzling with a warm, crusty hunk of baguette, their earthiness harmonized with the sweet tang of tamarind butter—and the perfectly cooked branzino, skin crackling with peppercorns and other crushed spices. photo credit: Sonal Shah photo credit: Sonal Shah photo credit: Sonal Shah photo credit: Sonal Shah" - Molly Fitzpatrick
