The bunbo was delicious, but I liked the rice noodles more. The scent of the fire was impressive.

Wandered into here before Nish Kumar gig. The lady in there seemed to do everything, cook, serve, greet. She was very friendly. The food was very nice. Portions are not massive but are good value for the price. I had sweet and sour chicken and egg fried rice. Had a bit of wait to pay the bill, but as I say, it was just her!

Probably the worst Vietnamese meals I have ever had. My friend’s pork dish was bone dry and my chicken was tough. The freshly chopped chilli was not fresh and when we pointed this out, we were met with defensiveness. She did take half off the pork after admitting she had deep fried it twice, meaning it wasn’t fresh. Awful!

The food is 5 stars or more, easy — best Vietnamese food I've had in London. It's a sweet, family owned business, so I can't bring myself to rate it less than that. But the unpredictable, unusual hours makes it hard and frustrating to be a loyal customer at times.

It took an hour and 45 mins to arrive. We were really disappointed when it turned up, majority of the food was cold. Starter still had prawn shells in the sweet potato, we had to spit it out! There was only 1 summer roll in the starter and the mango salad was bad as the mango was very crunchy and not ripe. The xeo crispy rice pancake arrived cold was soggy and chewy and had poor quality over cooked chicken. Our other summer rolls had no peanut dip with them. I was most disappointed with the Singapore vermicelli noodles, this is my most ordered dish when eating takeaway and this one is one of the worst I’ve had! A lot of this food was just inedible and we are we are still hungry. Won’t be ordering from here again!

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.

We eat here regularly and the food is always amazing; always fresh with the finest quality ingredients. As we had a milestone birthday, we wanted all our nearest and dearest friends and family to also get a chance to taste the amazing food from here so we asked the owners if they could cater for our event. The owners happily obliged and provided a service that went beyond expectations such as including items such as sauces/garnishes etc. Needless to say, the food went down a treat with nothing left spared as guests went for seconds and thirds! Thank you so much Hai Ha Restaurant. We definitely recommend everyone try your food.

Vietnamese classics done right. Ordered takeaway from here and it hit the spot. The pho was the perfect blend of heartiness and freshness, the richness of the broth balanced out by crisp and fresh vegetables. The summer roles were thick, chewy dough giving way to crunchy veg with chunks of tofu soaking up the tangy peanut sauce. The interior was inviting and relaxed, and the owner was friendly. Highly recommended

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!!!

Starters of spring rolls and salt and pepper soft shell crab were fantastic. The mains however were subpar/inedible - avoid the clay pot prawns in coconut sauce, it came out bright yellow and tasted incredibly weird & bland at the same time & only 4 prawns and a whole heap of onions for a very expensive price of £11.50, what a waste of money. We asked the waitress (who had a great energy) what was in the sauce: coconut milk and fish sauce… couldn’t identify either & not sure of why it was fluorescent in colour! Overall, dishes are more expensive, less tasty and not as good quality than places like Green Papaya down the road.

I really don't like leaving bad reviews but I feel let down by this place. I used to enjoy the food here and have been getting take aways for years. I received a delivery of my usual favorites and absolutely every element was sub standard.

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 tang that you get from tamarind. It was a really good foil for the rich duck meat. My partner enjoyed his choice, Wok Fried Sliced Beef with Chili & Lemongrass. We washed it all down with tap water and a bottle of their reasonably priced but very quaffable house red wine. Our waiter was, as always, friendly and welcoming. We cannot wait for our next excuse to eat at Hai Ha.

This restaurant has been in Hackney for years and USED to sell amazing food. There has to have been a change in ownership because my recent experience was terrible. It was my first dine in experience after pandemic and I had good expectations. Before I even got the food a COCKROACH fell onto the table and my partner had to kill it with a tissue. That should have been the one and only time to leave but we were starving. The food came and it looked good, we hoped it would be amazing but no. Ordered the catfish hotpot, the gravy was obviously microwaved jelly. Ordered PHO and the broth was basically water with little flavouring. Ordered a noodle dish and it was so dry, even worse I found TWO HAIRS in it. & No, not from my own head. We stopped eating after finding that and was polite enough to say to the server woman what happened. The woman just yelled and said oh flies come in from outside to explain the cockroach. Like that was an excuse???? Pretty sure we know the difference between insects. & just didn’t hear what we had to say. She didn’t charge us but I mean neither of us was going to pay anyway. This happened 2days ago and I am currently heaving over a toilet because of that experience. Never again.
