The place is clean and the staff were polite and welcoming. Service was slow due to only one server handling all customers—not the staff’s fault. Overall, great value and worth coming back for the pho. 🍜”

The Bottom Line

Pho City is a Vietnamese restaurant inside BurJuman Mall in Al Mankhool, and pho is the main draw. You can order Pho Bo, bun cha, Vietnamese iced coffee and starters such as crispy spring rolls or tempura prawns. Most diners describe the food as comforting, fresh and authentically flavoured, with generous portions and reasonable pricing.

The strongest reviews focus on the pho broth and beef, while bun cha gets a particularly clear endorsement for its sauce, herbs, noodles and tasty meat. The Vietnamese iced coffee is another reliable pick: reviewers describe it as strong and sweet, with one reported 50% discount from 3–5pm. The seafood fried rice combo was reported at 47 dhs, though that is a customer-reported price rather than a current menu guarantee.

The setting is bright, clean and cozy, making it suitable for a casual mall lunch or dinner. Service is often described as warm and helpful, but staffing appears uneven. Several diners encountered slow service when one person was covering many tables, and one order was forgotten at the kitchen pass.

5 hours before being told the restaurant was closed. For parking, the business states that BurJuman offers three free hours, with Lobby Entrance E closest to the lifts.
