the pho itself is pretty good (i usually get the brisket original pho). it's not the most mind blowing but pretty decent for the price point. it's quite empty when i go, so it's nice to have some quick service! read more

Broth on the Pho Dac Biet (Combination) wasn't as complex but clean so not too much flavor. The brisket was a bit overcooked. The tendon was definitely had flavor to it and tasted great. Service was great. Questioned the server if they used condensed or regular milk for the Vietnamese Coffee. At first he said condensed milk and then admitted it was topped off with half and half, which was the reason I asked because it was very watered down and not as thick nor had any hints of sweetness from the condensed milk. read more

The service and food are both excellent. I've eaten here multiple times over the years and I've never been disappointed by the meals or wait staff. I especially love something here I can't find at other Vietnamese places, northern-style egg rolls. They're so puffy and crispy. So delicious! (I'm also very impressed by their late hours.) Last time I was there I noticed one of their plants, a peace lily, really needed watering. They're thirstier plants than most. I felt badly for the plant and decided to water it myself. There was no saucer, so I spilled some water on the floor. The wait staff was patient and kind towards me after I confessed my ill-begotten scheme to save the peace lily. I appreciated that on their part. read more

I was craving pho, so I ordered takeout from DoorDash. It came with a bowl of beef broth, sliced onions, rice noodles, sliced steaks, beef brisket, beef tendon, and meatballs. It was served with a side of basil, cilantro, lime, and bean sprouts. Everything tasted really great. The broth was really fragrant, and all the food was packed really well! read more

I got to visit 84 Viet for the first time. I got the fresh spring rolls to go with pork and shrimp. The quality was great! Everything inside tasted super fresh.

Good late night eats. The place is clean, spacious, and food is good. The portions are large so you will definitely be full! I did wish the pho broth had a bit more flavor and was hotter. It was more of a luke warm temp and needed hot sauce/sauce to give it that extra flavor. The meat they give you is very generous and tasty though. There's lots to try on the menu and a good variety of things! read more

Clean cute place open until 3pm for lunch. Tried the VS1 dipping sauce and grilled pork egg roll vermicelli. Pork patty was the best thing, so flavorful and juicy. Grilled pork was on the lean side and only 1 egg roll which was small and plain. Service was alright until waitress started hovering over my shoulder with the machine to pay. read more

This is one of the rare moments where I opted for something else other than pho at a Vietnamese restaurant and honestly, the vermicelli dish I ordered did not disappoint. Despite looking a bit bland, it was actually quite the opposite. There was so much flavor. I love the variety of texture, especially the layers of crunch from different sources - the bean sprouts, the lettuce, the crispy pork belly. Mmmm I wish there was more crispy pork belly because that was the star of that dish. And, halfway through eating my meal, I actually ordered a small bowl of pho because I was curious. Yes, their soup is also good! read more

Ambiance was cute, decor for holidays. The service was super quick, no physical menu, QR code and paid for meal before we sat down. Super easy. We got the spicy mayo tempura shrimp absolutely delicious little kick, we also got the House pho, such a good ratio of meat, a great amount of noodles, we also got thai tea and it was super tasty. My friend got a Bahn-mi, she typically doesn't like them, but she found the grilled chicken delicious. Flavor was good and the bread was fresh and even had a bit of a crunchy. Good quality.

Looking for a place for dinner before a show in the area, we stumbled upon 84 Viet located in Berkeley Way off Shattuck. After checking out the menu posted on the menu and then Yelp, we decided to give it a try. At 5pm, there was only one time of diners in this modern, bright, clean and spacious dining room. The waiter welcomed us and sat at a table towards the back and from talking with him, he was their chef is from Hanoi. The menu consists of pho, buns, rice plates, banh mi, and specialty dishes. Listed under the Must Try signature dishes, I decided to order the Hanoi Style Grilled Pork Vermicelli with dipping broth. The plate consisted of a bowl of vermicelli, a bowl of grilled pork belly and pork patties in a sauce, a side of vegetables and a side of basil, mint and cilantro. I spooned the meat and sauce into the bowl of vermicelli with some herbs and this was delish. The sauce was with the noodles and the meats were so flavorful. My first time experiencing this Hanoi specialty and I enjoyed it. My dining partner had the Grilled pork and egg rolls vermicelli. The pork was not grilled brown and the egg rolls skin was different than the typical Vietnamese restaurant. I guess this is Hanoi style. The second egg roll was brought out separately. We enjoyed our food and glad we both experience Hanoi style for the first time. We will have 84 Viet on our dining list before shows in the future. read more

Sadly, this is my first not-so-good review. TL/DR: I truly had high hopes for this place, as my first visit several months ago was a great experience. Unfortunately, the last couple of times have progressively gone the other way. The wait time for food has gotten longer, and the flavor in the pho broth is lacking. The cost to value ratio just doesn't add up for the dine-in experience. The customer service varies, likely due to inexperience or to individuals who simply don't care about the business and just need a paycheck--which I understand. What shocked me was finding an extra $5.60 charge when I reviewed my transaction. Despite already paying an additional $4 for extra onions and cilantro (+ giving a decent tip since it's not always easy being a server and she was nice overall) wait time much longer than before, and noticing messy table areas (even though it gets busy), I was the only walk-in customer at the time, and the other table of six had just left. Granted 10 mins in a few more customers arrived. I would think that with all the time spent waiting for food, other tables could have been cleared. While I acknowledge that there were to-go orders being picked up, it's disappointing that this impacts the dine-in experience. Needless to say, what was supposed to be a $16.99 bowl of pho somehow ended up costing me $33.60. I understand inflation and the costs of running a business, and hopefully paying a fair wage; but paying $30+ for mediocre Pho--especially when the broth was bland and not as hot this time around and like many other Pho places--felt excessive. To top it off, whoever answered the phone today could use some training in phone etiquette with customers. As I tried to remedy the situation with them, although the conversation with another employee talking about another customer seemed more important to them without asking me to hold. Which made me hang up and write this review. Again, I really had high hopes for this place. I probably sound like a "Karen/Ken" at this point, but as a heads up: check your transactions so this doesn't happen to you! read more

Came to 84 Viet to try some Pho. The food was amazing and delicious. We also received amazing customer service. We also grabbed a Thai tea that was really good. A dinosaur pho that was delicious with a huge meat on a bone. An oxtail pho that was also delicious. Finally a grilled chicken noodle. Highly recommend bringing your family if you're in the mood for pho. read more

5/5 Vegetarian pho with tofu. 4th time ordering it for takeout/delivery during this rainy weather. Always hot, fresh, and great packaging.

Their Banh Mi is gross and disappointing. Almost no meat, almost no daikon, carrot, mayo, or anything. Ironically, a ton of vinegar and oil which doesn't belong anywhere near a Banh Mi to my recollection. I finished it for nutritional value, which in and of itself is a debatable choice. Don't do it, people. This place ain't worth saving. read more

We DEVOURED our pho. All three of us were fishing for the last tiny bits of rice noodles in our bowls of broth. I thought the broth was perfectly seasoned. Pho is the perfect meal for when you want something both comforting and refreshing. Definitely a bit pricey to sit down and eat here, but service was excellent. Lots of cute floral decor and very spacious. read more

Gigantic pho is small, able to feed two hungry people. Currently $99, that is correct, almost $100. We, a group of four, came here to celebrate my brothers graduation and ordered the gigantic pho. We asked ahead if it would serve 4 people and we were told it would. We expected it would too as it costs $100 and while this is already expensive for pho, $100/4=$25.00 a bowl of pho (while pho is $15-18) we expected it to be a little pricier because it is kind of a novelty item. Safe to say, gigantic pho is small. Very small. There is a good amount of broth and two large bones which fills up the bowl but the bowl is quite small too. The noodle is about 1.5 portions and the broth and the meat a good 2 or slight 3 portions. The gigantic pho is not enough to feed 3 people with regular appetites even at $100 dollars a bowl ($33 a person) which makes it very very expensive and not worth it in my opinion. It is enough to feed hungry people at $50 a person though. Instead, just order their regular pho 2 times and you'll have the same amount. Four times if you actually want to feed four people. Another reviewer mentioned the small portions, especially noodle portions and I thought it was small for two hungry people. However, it is small for two people with regular appetites at $50 per person! While the pho is average for Oakland, our broth was also lukewarm after waiting for it for 30 minutes even though we called ahead an hour ago. And as a previous reviewer has mentioned, the cuts of meat can be a little tough and thick. read more

Came here on a whim mostly because it's open till 2 am and most pho places close by 9 pm. Was pleasantly surprised that both items we had, the spring rolls and pho (forgot to take a photo lol) were quite good! The first thing I noticed about the spring rolls was that they were extremely fresh and crisp tasting! Also I loved that the vegetables were nice and cold which made refreshing. Solid. As for the pho, broth was tasty with a lot of depth with lots of noticeable spices. I wish I took a photo of this but the raw meat that we asked the side was surprisingly really good with lots of marbling. Was much better quality than the typical round that you get at other pho restaurants. Also solid. If this place was near me, I'd frequent often! read more

I've been trying to find a good pho place walking distance in Berkeley, so when I saw rave reviews about this restaurant, I was so excited to try. I ordered pho with steak and brisket, and my friend ordered the grilled pork dipping vermicelli plate. The restaurant itself is so cute, with nice comfortable spacious seating. Our waiter was very patient and kind, explaining to my friend how to eat his meal. The pho had a good amount of meat in it, but I was disappointed in the flavor of the broth. It honestly tasted pretty watery. My friend said the grilled pork was just okay, and wouldn't go here or get it again. This place definitely beats pho k & k but that's not really a high bar. read more

It's not everyday that a new Vietnamese restaurant opens up in Berkeley, so I was happy to hear about 84 Viet last year. I saw a new item "$75 Gigantic Pho" on their menu and knew I had to bring a friend to take it on. The presentation was definitely on point. A LOT of meat (bone marrow, brisket, viet meat balls, tendon, beef rib) arranged beautifully and in good portion too. The broth was tasty (a must for pho) and there were plenty of veggies to accommodate. I wish the noodle ratio was a bit more since this seemed heavy on the meat side, but at least we were getting our money's worth. The service was friendly and quick even for a sizable order like this, although I probably wouldn't recommend getting it if they're busy. The atmosphere is nice with lots of decorations and a decent amount of seating for families and friend groups. I may not take on the gigantic pho again, but I would come back for one of their "normal" (still big portioned) pho's read more

I decided to order via the phone for takeout since I was in the downtown Berkeley area. I got the tofu delight banh mi. It was decent, though not that big of a sandwich for $10 before tax/tip. The pickled carrots and radish added a nice sour and refreshing flavor, and the tofu was nicely firm. It had some jalapeno but I didn't find it too spicy. Overall, it was fairly mild in flavor and I wish it was more flavorful, but that can be an upside if you want to be able to appreciate the taste of the various ingredients. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Pho that's available able at 1AM? Call me a fan. Kind of hard to find decent food options at that time. The dinosaur pho caught my eye since they had a picture of it on the wall inside the restaurant. It's a pretty big rib and the meat just fell off the bone. I recommend using a fork to get the meat into more manageable pieces to eat. Good amount of noodles included and the broth wasn't too heavy. I loved the chill, EDM music they were playing in the background too. read more

I really did used to love this place and even brought my boyfriend here, but we spotted a rat going in and out of the kitchen and when we told the waitress she said she knows it is a problem that has been happening for a while and the manager doesn't want to do anything about it. Immediately after I felt so sick and couldn't eat after and when I asked to be compensated for the meal, they only offered 15% off of the meal and told us they would report it to the health division themselves, which we know is a total lie. I am telling all my friends and family who used to love this place to never come back. Horrible service and I feel super gross that they couldn't at least compensate my meal KNOWING a rat was most likely by it. read more

I was happy to see that 84 Viet has some good vegetarian options. I thoroughly enjoyed the Crispy Tofu and Crunchy Delight Egg Roll vermicelli noodle bowl. The noodles were warm, offering a nice contrast against the crispy onions and peanuts, and the vegetarian egg roll, cool lettuce, cucumber, and carrot slices. The non-fish sauce complemented the noodle salad. My husband commented that his meat bowl tasted fresh and flavorful. Two single-room bathrooms. Love the modern and clean vibe. Friendly service.

I've been on the hunt for good Vietnamese food in Berkeley and finally found it! This place is relatively new but it's well managed and is very VERY clean! They offer pho and many vermicelli dishes from Northern (Hanoi) and Southern Vietnam (Saigon)! Banh mi (8/10): large size, easily shareable! packed with meat and veggies. Coffee (9/10): The salted cream compliments the strong, bitter Vietnamese coffee perfectly. Slightly sweet. Bun cha hanoi (8/10): Great dish if you want to venture out of ordering pho! read more

Word of caution - do not order online unless you know they are open! My bf was feeling under the weather and wanted some soup so I placed an online order only to be met with a closed sign once I arrived (this was around 12:30pm), which was really sad because I only had an hour for lunch. I called and they said they weren't able to close online orders for some reason, but the lady I spoke to was very nice. I did end up ordering again a few days after (I called ahead of time to make sure they were indeed open), this time around . We got the chicken pho and beef pho, spring rolls, and a beef banh mi. The pho was very good and we really liked their to go containers. The banh mi wasn't really all that - it was more bread than anything so we probably wouldn't get it again. Overall a good place around campus for pho, especially when you're feeling a little cold coming in. read more

Love the food and service here. Very kind people, nice environment, and the food is so amazing!

Got the Pho with Fillet and Brisket, and a Thai tea. Co worker got the Pho w Meatballs and Fillet. Bowls were deep but not huge. The broth was ok, I've had better. The beef was tender and tasty. Picked up a spring roll with Shrimp and Pork for the wife. She loved it! My biggest gripe is that I asked for separate checks so we could pay separately, the guy says ok then I swiped my card and when I looked it was more than I anticipated... so I asked if the check was all together and the guys says yeah... we say we asked for separate checks and he shrugged his shoulders and said sorry... no Fs given lol. No problem... probably won't tip 20% next time or come back because there are so many Pho places to go to. The place used to be Bon Chons, the decor was nice, the restaurant was clean.... Bathrooms ok. The servers attitude was ok but the end was less than ideal. Not the biggest deal but his attitude was a turn off. read more
