This place was great...arrive, sit down, order taken and in 10 mins or less your food arrives, and boy was it good. 5/5 Shrimp Spring Rolls (4) $6.50 were super duper fresh and served with what I believe is the best peanut sauce I've had in my life; it wasn't too thick and definitely not runny, full of flavor and complimented the rolls perfectly. You can get only 2 for $3.50 but still so so good. 5/5 Large Pho with Rare Steak, Well Done Flank, Tendon and Tripe $8.75 was also a full bowl of happiness; the taste of the soup was outstanding, the pho was perfectly done not too soft, and the meats they included was plentiful for the price of an inexpensive large bowl. The tendon was my favorite, and the flank was also excellent. 5/5 Service was fast and no nonsense; get in, sit down, eat and leave. Definitely a place to visit if you're in the area if you're looking for a fabulous place to enjoy a nice hearty bowl of pho. read more

One of my favorite pho places!! I've been here many times, and Pho 45 never disappoints. My go-to order is the #2 pho tai (rare filet mignon). I love the meat that they use, it's always so tender and gets perfectly cooked by the hot broth. Never again will I have to eat chewy tough rare steak!! The noodles are always well-cooked and not mushy or clumpy, and the broth has a warm and comforting depth of flavor. To top it off, the service is always so friendly and fast! We always get our food within 5 mins or less of ordering it. Highly recommend if you're looking for an all-around quality pho place! read more

This area is close my to house, so i did not have to drive to GG to get pho. I ordered the special pho and it tasted mid. After 1 hour later, I felt tired and they probably dumped a bunch of MSG into their soup. The spring rolls were thic because of vermicelli and peanut sauce too sweet. read more

Hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant in town! With gas prices rising, this saves yourself a trip to Westminster or Garden Grove.

I would give Pho 45 a 4~4.5 stars, it's decent, great neighborhood restaurant located in a plaza with plenty of parking and Stater Brothers a few doors down in case anyone needs to pick up some late night groceries. Cozy restaurant, good for families. People they were VERY friendly and VERY efficient. The bowl of pho came fast and hot, the soup base was great. The value was great, plenty of food for affordable price. If you just want a quick casual dinner out, Pho 45 is a great choice! The only thing I'd say is the consistency in the taste of beef, sometimes the ingredients taste very fresh, sometimes not as much. But, for what you're paying for, the service/efficiency, everything else it's worth the visit. This may not be the best pho but definitely a great bowl of pho. Would recommend! : ) read more

Authentic and solid Vietnamese food that does not break the bank. The standout here is the eponymous Pho. Just come here for the Pho period. The Pho with short rib on bone #3 is excellent and highly recommended. My mouth just about dropped when I saw the prices as it would've been easily triple in NYC. $14.99 for a large portion of authentic Pho with 3 enormous high quality short rib on bone for less than $15!?!?!? Frankly, I was flabbergasted. You cannot and will not find such high quality and authentic pho in NYC or in the tri state. Huge two thumbs up. Just come. read more

Love that they have a rib bone pho option. They give you a lot of rib bones and sometimes I end up having left overs to finish at home. The service is also pretty awesome - they are very attentive and helpful. Sometimes there has been a bit of a wait but not too long (usually under 15-20 minutes). read more

You come here for Korean comfort food, metal dishes of banchan, enormous bowls of soup and stone pots hot enough to continue cooking your dinner while you eat it. And that stone pot is where I'd start. The gondre dolsot bibimbap was fantastic. Gondre is Korean thistle and here it gets worked through the rice with the egg, seaweed and everything else until the whole thing becomes earthy, savory and deeply satisfying. But the best part comes underneath. Leave it alone long enough and the rice against the stone develops that beautiful scorched crust, nurungji, which you eventually scrape loose and mix back through everything. That combination of the greens, sesame, egg and crispy rice is ridiculously good. There are dishes you finish because you're hungry and dishes where you keep digging around the bottom of the bowl because you're convinced there must be another good piece hiding somewhere. This was the latter. The galbitang was more complicated for me. The beef itself was excellent. Generous pieces, tender, falling easily from the bone and soft enough that our kids loved it. Plenty of green onion, too. My issue was the broth. I prefer galbitang on the restrained side so I can decide where it goes from there. Same reason I like seolleongtang arriving almost defiantly plain, give me the broth and let me dress it up myself with salt, saeujeot or whatever else I want. Han Yang has already made those decisions for you. The galbitang broth was noticeably sweet and salty and eventually it became a little much for me. That's preference as much as criticism, plenty of people will probably love it exactly as it arrives. I just wanted the volume turned down. The banchan was similarly mixed but mostly good. The napa kimchi was solid and nicely balanced. The kkakdugi was particularly good. The mustard greens, however, were ferociously sour. I like fermented food. These had me physically wincing. The dipping sauce for the galbi was excellent, though and I kept going back to it. Rice was average and a little dry. It did its job. Service was good and the whole experience was easy. The room itself has some age on it, tables are fairly close together and depending on where you're seated you may find yourself with a commanding view of the bathroom door. Nobody has ever requested the chef's table at the restroom, but here we are. Somehow I don't particularly mind any of it. Han Yang feels like a restaurant that knows what it is. It isn't polished into anonymity. People are here eating giant bowls of soup, mixing rice in scorching stone pots and getting on with their lives. And when a restaurant can put something as good as that gondre bibimbap in front of me, I can forgive a dry bowl of rice and a bathroom with excellent sightlines. Absolutely coming back. And next time, I'm getting that bibimbap again.

Yelp Review: Pho 45 - 5 Stars Down in Buena Park for a fun-filled day at Knott's Berry Farm, our family was craving something different for dinner--something to truly satisfy our palates. Thanks to Yelp's superpowers, we landed on Pho 45, and let me tell you, Yelp nailed it with this one! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was fantastic. Every employee greeted us warmly, and we were quickly seated with water on the table. The menu was a breath of fresh air--not overwhelming, just the classic staples done right. We all went for pho and added some spring rolls to share. I swear our table was bugged because the food came out lightning fast! Almost as if the cook was listening while we ordered our food. The pho was a game-changer--broth so hot and flavorful, exactly how it should be, with super tender meat that melted in your mouth. My son got the pho with brisket, tendon, tripe, and ribeye, and this kid went to town on it, slurping away happily. My wife was raving about her bowl, too. The spring rolls were delicious, but honestly, we were so focused on the incredible pho that we almost regretted ordering them--only because they became a midnight snack back at the hotel! The staff was on point, constantly checking in to make sure we were good, which elevated the whole experience. Pho 45 is AWESOME, and I totally get why it's got rave reviews. We can't wait to come back next time we're in town. Five stars all the way for this gem! read more

My husband and I had dinner here tonight and it was the best pho we have ever had! Driving around Whittier looking for a place to eat we decided to have Vietnamese food tonight and my oh my did we choose the right place with Pho 45. We like to go out to local restaurants and get away from the big chain stores and Pho 45 was exactly what we were looking for. When we got there parking was available close to the door and as we walked in we were greeted by many beautiful smiling faces. We picked a table close to the kitchen and as is often the case we had our camera with us and we were making videos for our YouTube channel reviewing the food and vlogging as we usually do. After we ordered, Jason, the owner came out, said hello to us and told us about the restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing! We ordered the shrimp and pork spring rolls, the egg rolls, the #1 mixed meat pho, and #25 the charbroiled pork chops and rice. Everything was made so well! We will absolutely be going back! Thank you Jason, and the wonderful Pho 45 staff! Love Tati and Clif read more

I absolutely love this place! Pho 45 is hands down my go-to spot whenever I'm craving a comforting, flavorful bowl of pho. The broth is always rich, aromatic, and perfectly seasoned. I always order the pho, and it never disappoints. They're generous with the sides too -- plenty of fresh bean sprouts, jalapeños , and bay leaves to customize your bowl just the way you like it. Everything tastes fresh and authentic. My husband always orders the pork chops, and he swears they're the best he's ever tasted. They're perfectly cooked, flavorful, and consistently delicious every time we visit. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The staff is always friendly and attentive, even when the restaurant gets crowded which it often does because it's that good! Despite how busy it can be, the service remains quick and efficient, and you never feel overlooked. Another big plus is the convenient location. It's in the same shopping center as Stater Bros, so there's plenty of parking, which makes dining here easy and stress-free. read more

Pho 45 hits the spot if you're looking for a solid bowl of pho. The broth is rich and flavorful, with just the right depth that makes you want to keep going back for another spoonful. I got the combination pho, and the portions were generous. The meats were tender, and the noodles had that perfect bite. Service was friendly and quick, even with how busy they were. My order came out hot and fresh within a reasonable time, and the staff made sure I had everything I needed. They were attentive without hovering, which I appreciated. The ambience is casual and no-frills, but it works well for what Pho 45 offers. It's clean, comfortable, and has plenty of seating, which is great if you're stopping by during a lunch rush. There's a steady flow of people coming in, and you can tell it's a local favorite. If you're craving pho or Vietnamese food in general, this place is worth a visit. It delivers on flavor, portions, and service without any fuss. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu. read more

I recently visited Pho 45 and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles and a warm atmosphere. The restaurant was clean and well-lit, with plenty of seating available. But the real star of the show was the pho. I ordered the Pho Tai Chin Gan and it was nothing short of amazing. The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The noodles were cooked just right, and the beef was tender and juicy. One thing that really stood out to me was the portion size. They give you large bowls of pho, so you definitely won't leave feeling hungry. And the best part? Despite the generous portion size, the prices are very reasonable. Overall, I would highly recommend Pho 45 to anyone who is a fan of Vietnamese cuisine. The pho is simply delicious, the portions are generous, and the service is top-notch. I will definitely be returning soon! read more

I came here expecting comfort in a bowl and left questioning my life choices. The service was rough, and the brisket didn't deliver -- dry and underwhelming for a dish that's supposed to be the star. But the real heartbreak? The noodles. They were a bigger letdown than my last relationship -- soft in the wrong way, lacking structure, and leaving me genuinely sad by the end of the bowl. For pho, that's unforgivable. Ironically, the coffee was actually good, which made the whole experience even more confusing. Wrong thing to excel at. The TV placement felt awkward, and the music was a bit much, not exactly the soothing pho-house energy you'd hope for. Everything just felt slightly off. Overall, this was a waste of money for pho. Plenty of better options out there. Come for the coffee if you must, but I'd skip the noodles -- save yourself the emotional damage. read more

We have been coming to this restaurant for years and have always enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, this recent order did not meet their usual fresh, delicious standards. We ordered pho, egg rolls, and chicken fried rice. What I did not order was a cranberry-colored roach in my fried rice. We were completely disgusted and could not continue eating. Since this was a takeout order, I returned to the restaurant to show the manager what I had found. To my disbelief, they initially refused to issue a refund. I was appalled. After speaking with another manager, I eventually received a refund. This experience was extremely disappointing, especially because we truly loved coming here. Sadly, I do not think we will be returning. read more

I used to be a regular at Pho 45, but I've found it to be highly overrated lately. The quality of the meat has noticeably declined, prompting me to stop visiting after several years of enjoyment. The pho, while okay, tends to be too salty for my taste. Additionally, the fried rice is often very dry, and the spring rolls are served excessively cold with too many rice noodles, making them less enjoyable. The peanut sauce accompanying the spring rolls is also just average. Overall, Pho 45 offers okay-quality food, but it falls short of the high praise it receives. The pho, in particular, didn't meet my expectations in terms of taste and overall experience. read more

My husband and I really enjoy the pho at this place and have been coming here regularly. The food is usually great, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. Today, we ordered pho and spring rolls, but the spring rolls never came -- even after we had finished our pho. When my husband mentioned it while paying, the response was simply a dry "sorry," without much acknowledgment. As frequent customers, we were genuinely disappointed by how this was handled. We hope they can improve their service, because we truly do enjoy the food and would love to continue supporting this place. read more

I recently had the chance to enjoy a bowl of pho from Pho 45 and it was truly exceptional. The broth was rich and flavorful, clearly simmered for hours to achieve that perfect depth of taste. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the generous portions of tender beef and fresh herbs made each bite a delight. The balance of flavors, with the addition of lime, bean sprouts, and basil, was just right. This pho was comforting and satisfying, making it a must-try for anyone who loves authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Highly recommend! The service is so fast and efficient! read more

Pho 45 is the best spot for pho in Pico Rivera, bringing a taste of Orange County to the area. The pho broth is rich and flavorful, easily the best in miles, and the egg rolls are perfectly crispy. Portion sizes are generous, making the meal especially satisfying. The appetizers are worth trying, and the service was attentive throughout, with water consistently refilled. As a suggestion, adding the Pennywort drink to the menu would be a great addition, and a kids menu with a small pho bowl option would be appreciated. read more

Overall, we had a good time at Pho 45. We ordered the chicken Bahn mi, combo pho, and the grilled pork and egg roll vermicelli. The service was great, and they gave us hot water when we asked for it. The Bahn mi was perfectly crisp and the chicken yummy. The only con was that the Bahn mi lacked in picked root veg to give it a bit more depth. The pho was great, as the soup was flavorful and the meat super tender. The vermicelli was a great mix of veg and meat. We'll definitely be coming back for more. read more

This Pho restaurant has 5 stars for reason people!!! The soup is extremely good! I've been to other places and the rice noodles are a bit chewy, like they were cooked in a fast. But here, they were soft, and just perfect! the tripe is very tender as well. Just overall great food! The staff is very friendly. Your drink will always be full, and they will be checking on you every so often to make sure everything is going well. Definitely a place to go if your around the area, very recommendable! read more

First and foremost the service at this pho joint is amazing. Before I even asked for anything for my kids they brought out two bowls of soup and noodles without me or my wife even asking for it for our daughters. The interior is fairly nice for a place that charges only $12.99 for a large bowl and it's got a lot of meat inside. The flavor of the pho is spot on and not too strong with cinnamon use as I used to have my own pho restaurant now I see why this place is always decently packed. read more

Ever since I moved to La Mirada, it has been impossible to find an authentic Vietnamese restaurant nearby. Pho 45 opened up not too long ago, and I got to try it with my sister today. We both were extremely satisfied with the service and the food. Their pho is not greasy at all, and the soup is very tasty. Their spring rolls are very fresh, and their iced coffee is divine. All the servers were friendly and courteous. I am definitely coming back for more good authentic Vietnamese food! read more

WOW Best Pho in LA County. I have tried several Pho Places in the area to find the best one since I have moved from New York but had yet to find one until I came across PHO 45. The soup broth is so different from any other place that I have been to, it's so rich in flavor and they give you so much food. Def Bang for your Buck. Also the owner Jason is so accommodating which makes the environment so welcoming. Def a must try in LA County. Two Thumbs Up for this PHO place. read more

Highly Overrated. Pho is ok, too salty actually. Fried Rice is very dry and Spring Roll is super cold with way too much rice noodle, the peanut sauce is mediocre. The Deco is very boring. Everything here is an ok quality. I don't know why everyone gives a 5 stars. Something skeptical is going on here. I'd rather pay the same price and go to Pho house or Pho 21 instead. I will not be back! read more

I used to work around the area, and this was definitely my go to Pho spot. Since they knew me, i would even get an extra treat every time i went. The broth from the pho was really flavorful and the rice noodles were soft and not chewy like at other places. This is a great Vietnamese soup place to try out. And if its your first time here, let them know! they'll recommend some stuff. read more

We have passed this restaurant so many times with the realization that there was this little humble…read morerestaurant in a huge plaza, but never quite remembered to go back to try it. Today was the day, as I was craving sushi and remembered it, so in we went. Zero regrets! Ambiance/Service (3/5): We went around 1 PM on a Saturday and it was surprisingly dead in there; we were the only ones who dined in and there was only one customer picking up an order the entire time we were there. However, it didn't feel awkward. There was a TV playing on medium volume and the older Korean owners were really nice and made us feel welcomed. They gave us two bowls of complimentary miso soup (which our toddlers loved). Food came out relatively quickly. It definitely has mom n' pop vibes which I love. Decor was minimal but clean and the restaurant was well maintained. I think the place would make a nice casual dinner date. Food/Value (4/5): We ordered the udon with 4-piece spicy tuna roll combo, the mixed tempura appetizer, a baked salmon roll and a California roll. The total came out to $51.25. Prices are super fair for what you get, especially if you're craving special rolls or want a little of everything (they have so many combos). I'll review our food specifically below: -Udon & spicy tuna combo (3/5): Udon came in a pretty big bowl with udon, fish cake, green onions, and tempura flakes. Udon was nice and chewy, but the soup itself felt like it could use more depth. My husband wasn't a huge fan of the spicy tuna roll; he noted that the flavor wasn't the best, texture was bit different and the roll itself was loosely packed. He said he'd skip the spicy tuna next time. -Mixed Tempura (5/5): This was delicious. It came crispy and hot, with ten pieces total--2 each of pumpkin, potato, zucchini, carrot, and shrimp. The kids loved it and the sauce complimented it well. -Baked salmon roll (4/5): This was tasty, but it left something to be desired. I guess I'm used to heavier baked rolls with more creamy sauce reminiscent of a rice casserole made into a roll. Their rendition is essentially salmon placed on top of a CA roll with a drizzle of some sort of sweet soy sauce, but it was tasty nonetheless. -California roll (5/5): Awesome price and awesome taste. Loved every bite. I would come again just to order multiple of these. They don't skimp on the filling. Overall, I would give this place a 4 because it was a great lunch experience. We live relatively close, so this might be my go-to sushi craving place in the future. Would definitely come again and support this little mom n' pop shop!
