Although I 100% trust Joke's tastebuds ..if you've had Prince Street, Flushing Pho Bac or Pho Bang in Emhurst.. Pho Bac 97 isn't as good in flavors or clean. Not to be a snotty brat but it only made sense that when us three Queens girls treck it over here to Montreal's Chinatown but only from St. Denis (no biggie) to try this place (all over the tour books) we weren't too impressed.\n\nI believe the Sriracha and Fish sauce were in containers too... so no squirt bottle action. \n\nThe decor made me feel like I was in a sad hardworking Alaskan family's restaurant. I can't imagine it in the Summer.\n\nNone of us got the vermicelli or rice plates but the only way I could explain it is that if those other spots I mentioned boiled their broth for 5+ hours then this place only did 2... \n\nSo if you're far from this location .. I'm pretty sure any other Vietnamese place around town will be the same.\nThe servers were all friendly gangster men and one of the main guys even gave us his card in case we wanted to go to any \"asian parties\".. I believe his name was Chino or something close.
