Ha’s Snack Bar

Super cozy restaurant with delicious viet food. We sat at the bar and I loved that I could peer over my shoulder at the kitchen and watch them prepare the food. Plates were small so we got 5 of them for the 2 of us, and they came out one after another which was a nice leisurely pace. Highly recommend the chanterelle toast and the Bo kho

Loved it, I like going in blind and all I knew about Ha’s Dac biet was that it was a pop up for a while and was Vietnamese. It was actually seemed like French bistro with small plates and Vietnamese touches. Had the oysters which came with a light sauce very good, spicy carrot salad was fantastic. The pork belly was delicate and crispy without being too fatty or heavy. The French onion soup with pho spices really worked well. Lastly they had a birthday cake on special that was amazing, hope they keep it on the menu but seemed like it was someone’s bday and they wanted to make a cake. Be prepared to get cozy and take a pic of the menu. Also our waiter who I think was the owner was so nice and went through the whole menu. I want to try the rest.

What a great little place! I had never been able to catch up with their pop-up so I'm glad they finally put down roots, and I was able to stumble upon it for a light dinner. The space is intimate and cozy. The hostess/co-owner is lovely and welcoming as is the chef/co-owner and the servers. I was given a glass of a very tasty unfiltered bubbly right away (too bad I didn't catch the name of it). The menu is Vietnamese, but with a pronounced French influence. I had the Beef Tendon toast that was sublime -- very tender with a touch of sweetness that almost gave it a hint of maple syrup. The Pâté Chaud came en croute and the crust was just as delicious as the rich pork pâté inside. It was very nicely complemented by a glass of Chenin Blanc. For dessert I went with the Espresso Granita. It was served with whipped cream and little cubes of green (?pandan) gelée. It looked so delicious that the lady at the next table (who had the Apple Pie Ala Mode) said she was sad she hadn't ordered it, so I gave her some and her remark was "this is what granita is supposed to taste like." I agree, the espresso flavor was bold but balanced nicely by the whipped cream. I ordered light, but there were plenty of substantial dishes on the menu, like Pork Belly and a Seafood Risotto. Nothing was priced over $32 though! All in all a lovely dining experience. (NOTE: For some reason, Google is not allowing me to rate Food, Service or Atmosphere. Rest assured they were all Five Star.)

It’s the best new restaurant in New York. The kitchen is turning out dishes that you’re not going to get anywhere else in the city. On a menu full of standouts, the stars are the Pate Chaud, oysters, and toasts, with the pork belly and crudo (rotating fish) also being mandatory orders. Get a table while you can, it’s going to be very very hard to get in the door in a couple months (probably sooner), they’re doing something very special in that tiny kitchen.
