Ha's Snack Bar

For six years, Anthony Ha and Sadie Mae Burns ran the pop-up circuit with their Vietnamese concept, Ha’s Đặc Biệt. It gained quite the following during the pandemic era, exciting us with egg-scallion bánh mìs and cabbages stuffed with pork shank. Making the rounds all around NYC, the duo even landed a residency in Paris and caught the eye of the The New York Times. But the ultimate goal was always to get four walls to call their own, and as of 2025, the couple has finally settled down in the Lower East Side with a new name: Ha’s Snack Bar. A chalkboard lays out the specials of the day, which wax and wane with the moods of the chefs, and have thus far included snails bubbling in tamarind butter to bass crudo showered with nuoc cham. Plenty of wines lay behind the bar, cooling in ice buckets, ready to be paired with it all.
