Tips for a Better Visit

Start Small. Order the small pho first: several reviews say the medium bowl can be too large for one person.

Try Lunch. For better value, ask about the business lunch set; one review specifically recommends it for the best bang for your buck.

The Bottom Line

Vietnamese Foodies at Nakheel Mall in Palm Jumeirah is a Vietnamese restaurant with a menu that suits both traditional orders and lighter dietary preferences. Pho is the clearest starting point: reviews mention Shredded Chicken Pho, Chicken Pho and a slow-cooked broth described as clear, fragrant and simmered for 14 hours. Vegan diners also have more than a token choice, including Vegan Spring Rolls and vegan stir-fry noodles with mushrooms.

Portions are a practical consideration. Multiple diners found the medium pho bowl large enough to share or too much for one person, so starting with the small bowl leaves room for another dish. The Business Lunch set is another useful option; one review reported a 65aed/person package with generous, shareable portions and mix-and-match choices.

The setting is warm and relaxed, with bamboo and wood interiors, indoor seating and places along the mall corridor. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and quick, with staff helping explain the menu and spice levels. There are a few cautions.

One diner found an entire meal disappointing and called it expensive, while another disliked the sweetness of the drinks. A separate review questioned the pho’s authenticity and advised against the Australian beef, so expectations may vary by dish.
