The food is soo delicious, my family and I always get the pho shrimp and chicken soup with a side of egg rolls which are my favorite! We’ve been coming here for many years and love it very much. Service is great too, very kind and generous!!

Love this place! I come here for lunch often. The #19 (chicken plate with eggrolls) is a great combo if you're hungry. Good portion and fresh. Kind to their customers and very quick with service! Ask for Hai! He is the best!

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 was relaxed.

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.
