Hai Ha - Carta

This restaurant is just across the road from my flat and the food is so consistently good that I have been a few times recently. Try their salt and pepper squid. Seriously good.

I used to be a local and Hai Ha was a regular haunt with family and friends. Always knew we would get a warm welcome and really tasty food that was good value. I moved away 4 years go but return regularly. Every visit 'home ' has to include a visit to Hai Ha and it still never disappoints.

I waited 40 minutes for them to confirm my order. During this time I 'spoke ' to a robot on the Just Eat website that was no use at all and the restaurant did not answer the phone. Eventually the restaurant cancelled my order! Terrible service. We usually love the food when we eat in, but clearly something goes very wrong with this system. Ver carta

The welcoming staff greeted us as we entered. They had a wide variety of dishes on the menu and when we asked for suggestions, we were told that everything was delicious. We had a great dining experience and would definitely return, but we thought that one portion of rice could have been shared by two people and the £2 corkage fee per person seemed a bit high, especially for those drinking beer.

Got a take away and the portion was very small which I didn’t realise till I came home. Staff are nice but when I called up to explain about how small the portion was the lady who must be the manager I assume was extremely rude and hung on me. I’m not saying I expect a big portion but for £10 three bits of meat and barely any sauce compared to all the other Vietnamese on mare street it’s no comparison. I wouldn’t go there again.

I just ordered £64 worth of food for me and my family via Uber Eats, and it was cold, greasy slops! The crispy pancake and softshell crab were so hard that we couldn't chew them. So shockingly bad was the quality of the food that, for the first time ever, I've actually asked Uber Eats to refund my money. Everything is now in the bin! Why should I have to throw away my money like this? It shouldn't be allowed. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY HERE!!! Ver carta

We have dined at Hai Ha countless times, both in the restaurant and for takeout, and it never disappoints. The staff is always friendly and the food is consistently delicious. The chili salt and pepper tofu is a standout dish, perfectly crispy and never greasy. The Hai Ha Special vermicelli rice bowl, featuring cold noodles, salad, and three kinds of pork, is a must-try dish that always impresses our friends. The tamarind prawns are also outstanding. We recommend ordering these three dishes and thanking us later! :D

This restaurant in Hackney has been around for years and used to serve amazing food. However, my recent experience was terrible, indicating a possible change in ownership. It was my first time dining in after the pandemic, and I had high hopes. Unfortunately, before our food even arrived, a cockroach fell onto our table and my partner had to kill it. Despite this, we decided to stay as we were hungry. The food looked good, but ultimately disappointed. The catfish hotpot had a gravy that tasted like microwaved jelly, the PHO broth was lacking in flavor, and the noodle dish was dry and had two hairs in it. When we brought this to the attention of the server, she dismissed us and made excuses f...

Whenever we are in Mare Street, Hackney my partner and I make a beeline for Hai Ha. It is a Vietnamese restaurant with a big smile and a warm welcome. Our waiter suggested that we order different main courses from our usual choices and we took his advice. We are very glad that we did. To start with, however, we shared our usual the Ground Pork Meat Wrapped in Betel Lalot with vermicelli salad. It is always scrumptious, the juicy meat is complemented by the luscious leaves in which it is wrapped. The salad is fresh and zingy, especially the fresh bunches of mint. Our main courses were, for me, Slow Cooked Duck in Tamarin Sauce. The duck was succulent and moreish and the sauce had the lovely t... Ver carta
