Generous tasty chicken pho bowl served quickly with sprouts and jalapenos on the side. Nice vibe. Friendly staff and take out patrons seemed to be regulars. Was told the soups are simmered 10 hours.

Yummy food. Had rice plate with marinated chicken and mango smoothie. Friendly service. Definitely coming back when visiting the bay area.

I would say it one of the best Vietnamese food I had. Especially Im a vegetarian and Vietnam food fit well to me. I ordered their recommended choice of fried noodle and it taste and look wonderful! They service is nice.

Ive lived in Oakland my whole life and this is the restaurant Ive eaten at the most. The food is always amazing, the service is efficient and warm, and the atmosphere inviting. Just go.

Been going here since the mid90s. 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!

As someone who has eaten at hundreds of pho places across the country, this is hands down the best pho and Vietnamese food Ive ever had. Delicious broth, quality meat with solid portions. Clean restaurant and quick service. I go here once ...

I typically get the veggie and tofu pho, always tasty, wish the bowl was a bit bigger.

Just tried this place last night before seeing Primus at the Fox Theater. Its now our goto restaurant before a concert at that particular venue. Such flavorful food and the staff are so sweet. Thank you for a memorable experience, Pho 84!
