Pho 84

"Been going here since the mid-90s. Hands down the best Vietnamese food around. Try the spicy curry snapper and beef chili sate with special rice. Flavors NEVER miss! Support this Oakland institution! They need your support! :)"

"The food is good, the service is friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is cozy. With advance notice, they seated a group of eleven in the back and we had a wonderful time."

"I love the food and I visit quite often."

"I've been wanting to come here on Sundays but found out they are closed on this day. This place was actually recommended by the owner's nephew who I know. Good thing tonight I happen to be nearby and decided to come in. The restaurant is clean and has got a good decor. Food and service is quite good. I ordered the grilled pork vermicelli. To my surprise it is not your typical Vietnamese vermicelli. I would consider it fusion Vietnamese. Instead of a bowl the meal is served on a plate. It looks like they are trying to accommodate the Western taste in every way. I was most impressed with the egg rolls. I normally don't like the standard Vietnamese egg rolls which are stuffed with some unknown mushy meat. However, the ones here are stuffed with ingredients that you can see and know what they are. Overall the food experience was good. I can't wait to find out how they serve their Pho and rice plate on my next visit. A couple of things to watch: parking is awful around the area. It's better to come at night. During the day it's all metered parking so that will add cost to your meal. Secondly, prices at this restaurant are about 50% higher than your standard Vietnamese restaurant. I normally pay $10 somewhere else but here I paid $16 plus tips. Still a good experience."

"Great pho. The meat was delicious and noodles were really good! We also ordered the imperial rolls with the chicken, shrimp, and crab and those were delicious as well. The broth could have been a bit better in the pho but overall a really good meal. Even the service was spot on the whole time. The only downside to this place is the price. I've had better pho at half the price."
