By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

The Vietnamese restaurants in Abu Dhabi cluster heavily around Khalifa City, and it shows in the numbers: two of the restaurants on this page sit within a few minutes of each other near Etihad Plaza, both rated 4.9. Every kitchen here sits at 4.8 or higher, an unusually tight spread, so the real decision comes down to location and whether you want a sit-down room or a quick food-hall bowl.

Short answer: Pho 7 Vietnamese Restaurant in Khalifa City leads with 4.9 stars across 1,307 reviews, the most-reviewed Vietnamese kitchen in the city, tied on rating with Vietnamese Pho Khalifa City and Pho Mo at the Galleria. Expect AED 50 to 150 per person for a full pho or noodle meal.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Vietnamese restaurants in Abu Dhabi. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from over a thousand reviewers carries more weight than the same score from a few hundred. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these Vietnamese restaurants?

We started from every Vietnamese restaurant in Abu Dhabi with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Are there two Vietnamese Pho restaurants in Khalifa City?

Pho 7 Vietnamese Restaurant and Vietnamese Pho Khalifa City are separate businesses both located in the Khalifa City area, near Etihad Plaza.

Can I get vegan Vietnamese food in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Pho Mo at the Galleria specifically offers a vegan pho option, and several other kitchens on this page can adjust dishes on request.

The bottom line

Pho 7 is the safe default with the deepest track record and the fullest menu, while Vietnamese Pho Khalifa City and Pho Mo are tied for the highest rating if you want a smaller, more under-the-radar pick. Whichever you choose, ask about the pho broth and any vegan options when you order.
