The place was very busy. They squeeze you in like sardines in a can. Every empty chair is basically available for anyone who walks through the door. Think communal seating. I tried the #1 pho Dac Biet pho bang. The broth was bland. The meat selection was okay. The pho wasn't chewy like fresh pho noodles. Overall, it wasn't very satisfying. I supposed I've been spoiled with pho from northern VA and LA. If this is the best Montreal has to offer, pho lovers here need to check out restaurants in NOVA and LA.
