I’ve had very mixed experiences here and after 3 visits think I won’t be back. Overall vibes and service are fine, food / water is fine or downright bad. First visit we stopped in for banh mi sandwiches to go. They were great! Came back to try the pho - beef pho was really bad, with dry, tough meat and strange broth flavor, which matches some other reviews I see here. After that visit I swore off coming back but here we are again. I got a chicken banh mi, which was good, and my girlfriend’s veggie pho was better than last time, definitely an improvement! However what sealed the deal this time was the water. It tasted like chemicals and was undrinkable. Only one server and one chef so service isn’t quick, but for me the food and drink is the dealbreaker!

I love this place, the workers are very nice and thorough, the food is great. I can't remember the young lady's name but she works on the night shift she is exceptional and I went there this past Monday and the young man was also great. Thank you for great service!

Found a hair in my pho today, peeped over into the kitchen and cook was not wearing a hairnet.

Cup of water was pretty small like 6 ounces or something. Waitress was lacking kind of gave me an attitude for having an umbrella. I didn't see a sign where to put my umbrella and other customers had their umbrella with them... the pho was ok... Not something I would go out of my way for...

Food was delicious and tasty. Wait time was no problem and the food arrived hot and ready. I enjoyed the friendly staff and the spacious dining area! 10/10

The food was so good we forgot to take pics! Ordered the vegan bahn mi and vermicelli. It's nice and quiet inside even with the music playing. Server was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend and would definitely come back!

Solid beef pho -- broth is flavorful, meat is tender, and has been consistent across the several times I've been there. Staff have been friendly and willing to accommodate. Prices seem a little high, but maybe that's just restaurants in Berkeley. The restaurant space is nice to sit in and big windows, so lots of natural light.

I usually don’t leave reviews, but 84 Viet is definitely my go-to spot when craving good and authentic viet food! The service is top notch and one of the servers, Deejay, is very accommodating and knowledgeable of their menu. I’ve been frequently visiting for their Bahn Mi’s and Pho on cold days, and they never disappoint!

I came on the first day of Lunar New Year. I saw both of the restaurant’s owners work in the kitchen because there were no employees. All tables were full, slow service but I’m glad that they came to us and explained about being short-staffed. Food is good as always. Was introduced 2 new dishes: beef ribs pho and chicken breast pho. Both were fantastic. Authentic beef broth, no msg which I’m allergic to. Will definitely come back and bring more friends! Keep up the good work!
Really good. Beautiful space. We had pho, banh mi and spring rolls. Delicious fresh crispy ingredients. You can taste the care they take preparing the food. Please support this business. We were the only ones in 3pm on a Friday. Just off Shattuck so a tiny bit off the main drag. Check 'em out. It's great

Best Viet food in Berkeley area, been living here multiple years, trust me I’m Viet born in Vietnam. Just opened a few months ago, flavorful pho. They have bone marrow so you don’t need to go to restaurants in Oakland or San Jose. Thick cut of beef. Bún Chả is another good dish. Recommend avocado smoothie sand salted cheese coffee. Will definitely come back and spread the words.
