I kept hearing great things about this NYC restaurant with the unlikely name of Ha’s Snack Bar. So I managed to line up outside the tiny spot at 4:45PM on a Wednesday afternoon in late March, and snagged a seat at the counter when the doors opened at 5:30PM. It’s a small (24 seats) but full Lower East Side restaurant featuring Vietnamese / French inspired flavors, with a great vibe, friendly, helpful servers - and you can’t miss the chefs at work in the microscopic open kitchen (Two inductions
Loved Ha’s! We ordered six dishes and loved them all. The snails were as described and hyped and the egg mayo was the best I’ve had. The sausage toastie and asparagus and Chinese bacon on toast had such deep flavors. And the curried crab tartlette had us scraping the plate for every last bit. Don’t miss there desserts, the chocolate and huckleberry sundae was solid. We also really liked all the cool, natural wines they offer. Service is friendly and tight. The space is small, some would say cram
4.5/5! Super cute wine bar and great selection of snacks. Loved the snails. Loved the oyster. Ribs didn’t do it for me. And the asparagus toast was pretty good. Was expecting the flavors to be more fun / standout. But overall, really nice and great energy. Good date night spot. It’s pretty stuffed in here
