“Had lunch here on a weekday. Clean-tasting, comforting food and very affordable. The pho broth was light yet flavorful, with good portions for the price. 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. 🍜”

“They have lots of varieties of pho- Vietnamese noodle soups and on this day I tried the combo offer of Seafood fried rice which comes with a beef soup, and iced tea and some salad with white steamed chicken stripes. All the items were awesome and I was very happy. They were presented on a bamboo basket type plate which was innovative. The fried rice had adequate amount of prawns and some squid pieces. Appropriate for one person.”

Coffee Deal. Visit between 3–5pm if you want the Vietnamese iced coffee at the reported 50% discount.
Try Bun Cha. Consider the bun cha: one review called it the meal’s highlight, praising its sauce, herbs, noodles and meat.
Allow Time. For dine-in, allow extra time during busy periods because reviews describe one server handling many tables.
Ask Staff. If Vietnamese food is new to you, ask the staff for help choosing dishes; one first-time diner found the menu unclear.
Parking. For a mall visit, the business says BurJuman provides 3 hours of free parking; Lobby Entrance E is closest to the lifts.

One Talabat order took 1.5 hours before the customer learned the restaurant was closed.
Several reviews mention understaffing; one diner waited while a single server handled all customers.
A beef pho order was forgotten and left at the kitchen pass until the customer reminded staff.
One diner found the beef chewy, noodles too soft and the broth missing the expected spice.
A first-time visitor found the menu difficult to navigate and wanted more ordering guidance.
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.
