    Beef Pho
    Matthew H.

    Quick fast service even during busy lunch service. Came here with co workers and saw many people in here, but within 10 mins food was ready even with multiple tables ahead. Pho was decent (pricey) and beef was tender and juicy. Pho broth well seasoned and noodles were cooked just right. A great place to grab a quick bite during lunch.

    Ginger Tea
    Daniel S.

    Came by on a lazy Thursday afternoon--low-key vibes, a quiet family dining nearby, and a calm, relaxed atmosphere. The service was prompt and friendly, which made the experience even better The Bun Bo Hue was absolutely healing--rich, spicy, and the perfect sinus-opener. The broth had just the right level of heat, bold without being overwhelming. They need to keep this on the menu--it's a standout. The Imperial Rolls were next-level--moist, clearly made in-house, and nothing like the dry, pre-frozen versions you get elsewhere. Filled with shrimp, ground chicken, and black mushrooms, they were perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The Ginger Tea had a beautiful presentation and a warm, aromatic flavor that tied the whole meal together. Pho 84 delivers comfort, quality, and care in every bite. I'll definitely be back.

    Beef pho

    Perfect spot for a hot, reasonably priced, really nice pho before a show. On a Thursday night it was mostly full. Surprisingly they didn't have a large selection of pho, but my beef one was tasty. Nice twist is that they didn't put lemon or lime, but Meyer lemon on their veg plate. That was a first for me, it was nice!

    Arrived at 12pm pst. Seated immediately and order taken immediately. The decor is warm and cozy. I ordered a water no ice and a tamarind base soup tofu and veggies which was tart and sweet. Everything was hot and fresh. I would recommend 10/10. I hope to come back soon.

    Rare steak pho
    Joanna B.

    Delicious oho! I admit I look at one star and five star reviews first. The one stars made me apprehensive as I witnessed one such scenario start to unfurl. I did have to wait quite a while for my menu but I already knew what I wanted, Jasmine tea and rare steak pho. Once I ordered things moved fast without rushing me. Keep in mind I came at the end of lunch order. I can't be frustrated at a slower speed in that situation. My meal was tasty. I'm happily full.

    Vegtable Pho
    David H.

    Tried Pho 84 for the first time and ordered the veggie pho -- it was light and fresh. Just a heads-up, there's an extra charge if you want a large bowl. The Vietnamese iced coffee was mild and smooth, but it was pre-made instead of the traditional drip. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the service was friendly and the vibe/ambiance was relaxed.

    They have some of the best pho in the area. It is pricy but you do get what you pay for, for service and quality. Recently took a coworker friend hear for their birthday. It was their first time and the loved it. It was fairly busy but service was fast. We had our food within five to 10 minutes and got back to work withing our hour.

    Prawns 'n Chicken Noodle Soup

    Excellent Pho!! The best I've had in the East Bay. Located in Downtown Oakland on a side street along with a bunch of other small businesses. Quaint and Cozy but doesn't work out too well for large groups. The wait staff is always nice and friendly when I stop by for lunch. Two thumbs up:)

    Tamarind Canh Chua Soup Chicken Salad

    My cousin has been coming here for years and highly recommended this place and now I see why. We got the shrimp spring rolls, chicken salad, and cahn chua (spicy hot and sour lemongrass soup). Every was super tasty, especially the lemongrass soup!!! Flavorful, good balance of textures, and very satisfying. The service was also very good and all of the staff were friendly and welcoming.

    I was craving Vietnamese food and randomly ended up here. The food was tasty and the service was fast. My only issue is parking sucks.

    26. Spicy Curry Shrimp Xao Lan
    Kendra F.

    Getting around to trying all of the places I've been eying for some years has been slow for me, especially when I find a spot I like and I've already decided I'm sticking with it. Well, that took a turn a few nights ago. I didn't feel like driving and with Pho 84 being on my list of local restaurants to try, I pulled the trigger and walked. We were seated almost immediately. That put our experience off to a good start. It was a full house Saturday night, so being seated upon entry was a plus. I can tell that who I presume to be the owner is very attentive to his guests. With that type of attention, I asked what he'd recommend. After eying the Spicy Curry Shrimp for some time, I was happy that was what he suggested. It was between that or the Spicy Curry Fish. I ordered the spicy curry shrimp which is served over vermicelli and a side of seasoned rice. This dish? Warming, savory and filling. The rice was needed, and at first I didn't think I'd need all of the rice but with the amount of curry on my plate, it was the perfect +1. We also had the shrimp spring rolls as an appetizer. Their sweet and sour sauce has a nice spicy kick. Good ambiance and they're located on 17th street. It's pretty close to 19th st bart as well. Maybe like a block or two away. The hours are limited but they have been here for years. It's worth your taste buds to come here.

    Wow there special for the day! Bún bò quế! Taste the sweetness straight from the bones, for real...
    James T.

    Authentic yummy Vietnamese goods and friendly staff. I heard they are the oldest Vietnamese restaurant in Oakland! More than 40 years! I guess I never found this gem until now. Check it out..they have an updated website is originalpho84.com. Don't get confused, by the hackers who's been milling our friendly pho 84 neighbors for years!!

    Imperial egg roll
    Anderson M.

    Delicious food, and the employees are very kind. I would've liked if there were more bean sprouts and basil with the pho. Also they added black pepper to the bowl which was different, still delicious. Great portion size for the price. Would come here again (but as for no black pepper)

With my luck, my car would smell like hello kitty for weeks. Anyhow, I found Mẹ Và Con on yelp, a mother-daughter owned resto that opened in 2024. They serve bánh khọt and have outdoor seating so we headed over. Thankfully, we arrived before the Sunday dinner rush (~5:45 pm) and before the parking lot was filled. Rezzies are accepted (via phone). M E N U Viet Cuisine with some elevated, modern twists (no specific regional specialty). Smaller menu than your typical hole-in-the-wall with 25-30 items including AZN fusion items like shrimp ceviche, kimchi pasta and tom yum pasta. Beer, wine, and soju cocktails available. F O O D * Bò Tái Chanh: Beef Carpaccio w/ Thai basil, fried shallot, house tangerine sauce ($18): https://tinyurl.com/nhcn9kxw - Served at dinner only Fresh, tender slices of beef carpaccio with a sweetness from the tangerine sauce and white onions. I appreciate their twist (tangerine sauce instead of nước chấm) but it was too one note for me...IMO, it needed acid and herbs. Plus, I miss the texture of peanuts. * Bánh Khọt: Viet Mini Pancakes w/ shrimp, coconut milk batter, herbs, pickles ($24): https://tinyurl.com/34nx7sat - Served at dinner only Fav dish of the night, the savory bánh khọt was delicately crispy and slightly custardy in the center with a snappy shrimp drizzled with fragrant scallion oil. It came with romaine, mint, and perilla leaves neatly layered for easy wrapping. The lettuce was a bit soft and soggy tho, and I think they forgot the pickled veggies. Served with a tiny portion of tangy sweet nước chấm. * Bò Lúc Lắc: Shaking Beef w/ soy, garlic, onion, cherry tomato, arugula ($26): https://tinyurl.com/3rkpukct Meltingly tender cubes of filet mignon but light on the seasoning and aromatics so it was bland. Also, was hoping for more smoky wok hei flavor. * Thịt Kho Tàu: Braised Pork Belly w/ hard boiled eggs, rice ($21): https://tinyurl.com/mr2evryw - Includes bowl of rice A traditional dish served during Lunar New Year, it symbolizes prosperity, warmth, and stability. Chunks of pork belly are caramelized in sugar and braised in coconut soda and fish sauce - rich, savory with a good ratio of lean meat to fat (4 pieces). Wish they used more braising liquid when warming up, as some pieces were a bit dry. S E R V I C E Warm, friendly hospitality. Food does take awhile tho...our first dish took about 30 minutes to arrive. A M B I A N C E Casual, no-frills indoor area with about 10-12 tables. Cute covered patio in the parking lot with 5 tables and fairy lights. Overall, Mẹ Và Con is a great place to introduce people that are new to Viet cuisine and/or you're looking for Viet dishes with different twist.

    The pho, the rice plate and the bun were delicious! It's been a while since I enjoyed these dishes…read moreso much that this will now be my go to place and my recommended place for these entree. The pho was right on. Piping hot soup that didn't cool down until after you're done even on a cold day. That's just perfect for the wintery weather. The soup was so good - the right amount of aromatics and the beef flavor. And it wasn't overly oily. The amount of meat to noodle ratio was perfect, and I would even dare say I felt there was a lot of meat for a regular bowl of pho that I didn't end the pho with just noodles but had meat to go to the last bite. The rice plate, where we had pork chop with fried spring rolls was yummy! The pork chop was well seasoned that my kids ate it without complaining anything about it. Some places use black pepper and even too much of it to potentially cover up for lack of flavor or perhaps low quality meat. The fried spring rolls were delicious and not too oily either. The bun though with good amount of fresh greens was still a very filling bowl with the amount of meat, spring roll and noodles. The taste of it with the fish sauce was reminiscent of bun in Vietnam. The only thing that ok instead of being amazing was the marinated fried chicken with sauce as it was on the spicier side with the fresh chili and the marinate didn't seem to penetrate into the chicken well enough. Service was reasonably fast, but then again we were there before the restaurant filled up starting at 7pm.

    Affordable and delicious pho. Definitely recommend this humble and tasty location…read more I will be back soon!

Only open Fri/Sat/Sun, unfortunately. Pro tip: get an egg roll ($1) to eat while you wait for your bahn mi to be made.
