First of all I think the owners should update their current website to include the new old port location. To avoid confusion, if you reserve online it's for the mont royal location. So make sure you google Hà on William and then the address and phone number will appear so that you can call and reserve ahead time. You will definitely need to reserve because it can get quite busy. I came here with my aunt yesterday night (Saturday) at 7:15pm and we stayed till 10 pm. At first the restaurant was half empty but by eight pm or so it was packed and we were seated at the bar because all the tables were reserved. Luckily I like to sit at the bar and talk to the bartenders and watch them make drinks.
I tried their Bloody Caesar which has sake in it. It was very good and spicy. FYI I told the bartender that I like it spicy. Afterwards I couldn't pick which cocktail I wanted and the bartender told me he would create one. So he made me a spicy drink that consisted of a rum, pastis, a splash of Earl grey, lime juice and a red chili pepper. It was surprisingly good considering I don't like the taste of black liquorice and that is what pastis tastes like. I guess he didn't put much. He said it was to counteract the sweetness of the rum. These bartenders know what they are doing!
My aunt and I shared the papaya salad and the pork buns. The buns come in twos so it's perfect to share with another person. I was surprised that the bun was black because I'm used to seeing white buns. The bartender said it's because they use squid ink to make it black. I feel like they should put that on the menu because most people like squid ink. The dough was good and soft. I just wish they had more pork in it because it was a lot of dough. I prefer the pork buns from Satay Brothers.
For mains we shared the pork and shrimp pad Thai and the classic coconut salmon. The pad Thai was quite big and it had about four big shrimps in it. The salmon was good too and so tasty. If you like coconut I recommend it. These plates are meant for sharing so go and try a few things.
