Terrific spot located in a busy strip mall in Lakeville. Menu was simple and to the point with the classics. Prices were reasonable especially for the portions Ordered: - Mi Kho (3/5). This was average at best. The sauce was a bit unique... - Banh Mi Pork (4/5). Fresh - fluffy, flaky bread with delicious (and generous portions) of meat - Com Tam (4/5). Yum - a slam dunk! Great place worth trying - would love to try the duck noodle soup next time which we have heard great things about! read more

This was such a disappointing experience. I've eaten here multiple times and talk about how great this place is but this was not the experience I had tonight. My mom placed an online order to be picked up at 6:46. We arrived closer to 7 and my boyfriend stated the name of our order and waited 10 minutes. He told the host our order name again and she acted like she had no idea what he was talking about. They didn't have our order that we had confirmation for and instead of working on our order, we had to wait for 40 minutes for our dinner. We ordered this food to make our lives easier for baking and cleaning tonight for thanksgiving prep and instead it put us behind. They offered an extra order of pho and in the end didn't give it to us because whoever was in the back said no. The food was not the quality it usually is either. The wontons were very chewy, the rice flour cake was a messy and burnt a bit, and the pad Thai leaked in the bag and spilled over everything else. There was nearly a cup of watery sauce in the bag. This was a disappointing experience and I'm not sure I'll be back after this. This is some of the worst customer service I've experienced. read more

Pho 45 - Vietnamese Near Me - Lakeville, Minnesota

Our family has enjoyed this place since it opened. Food and service is a hit or miss like I have seen in other reviews. What is disappointing is the lack of communication with the staff and online orders. Online orders should be ready for pick up. Had a pick up only to wait another half hour just for a bahn mi. Also, they charge you the extra 3% fee for use of credit card and debit card (which is illegal and transaction wasn't reversed). The owner needs to address these issues. I cannot come back to this place. There are other Pho places that have good service. read more

Been here a few times, the food is extremely average. Not horrible, but nothing to write home about. The service is also very hit or miss. We've had servers who were very friendly and attentive, and others that screw up our orders badly with no apology or acknowledgement (and they also attempted to charge us for their mistake and only removed it when we pointed it out). read more

The service was great. The servers were very kind. The food was delicious. It is a small restaurant but very personal and a great atmosphere. read more

Go to pho place! Good every time we go. Flavors are authentic. Service is good, they don't rush you and let you take your time. Pay at the register. They have different options on weekends usually. More authentic dishes not usually at restaurants. Pho and bun bo hue are always top notch here. read more

Great food. Fast service. Ok environment. Highly recommend the owner install a fan to keep the kitchen oily smell from dinning area. read more

No joke, probably my favorite pho restaurant in the state. Best broth and quality of ingredients. As far as my spring role, a little dry and not my favorite but the quality of the pho itself is exceptional. I will return for some pho soon. Kind staff too, very nice environment and great parking. read more

My wife heard this was a good spot from a co-worker so we made the 30 min drive. It's good but not great. Nice on the inside and the service is good! Chicken wings were my fav but the Pho lacked flavor and I prefer the larger meatballs! My wife ordered the duck noodle soup which she enjoyed as well. I would not drive 30 min for this food and I would not go out of my way to try but if you want some good Vietnamese and are close it's worth a stop. read more

Pho 45 - dining area - Vietnamese Near Me - Lakeville, Minnesota

Food and service are excellent; every trip has been great! Very willing to do modifications!

Absolutely delicious and spot on flavor. I ordered takeout from this restaurant and it was ready as soon as we arrived. I got the veggie pho and spring rolls. When I got home the soup broth was still warm enough to combined with the ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE portion of noodles and veggies- I couldn't even finish it all!! The flavor was perfect and exactly what I was craving from this complex meal. I feel silly for ordering a side of spring rolls because I was so full from the delicious pho that I almost couldn't fit them in my tummy! Definitely worth the drive. The gal assisting in pic up was super sweet and I could tell this was a locally owned business, so had no problem tipping, as always. Thanks! read more

Their pho is the best! Not better than my mother-in-laws of course, but nearly as delicious! The broth is incredibly rich and aromatic--you can tell it's been simmered for hours. read more

Food is good, but they need people to , at this point, just do better for online orders. I said no eggs in the fried rice about 7 times, (yes I was counting) and they started getting annoyed even though the last 4 times they messed this up. The fried rice had egg in it. I ordered this for my friend who is vegan. The people on the phone insult you and act like you are dumb. Then they get the order wrong even though you had to repeat it for then about 7 times. read more

not the best pho i've had, unfortunately. i got the pho ga and the broth was just lacking flavor for me. the broth was fatty though (as you can see in the picture), which i thought would've made it taste top notch, but it ended up being whatever. they were a little skimpy on the green onions and cilantro. i wish there were more of it. considering the location of this place, it was alright and worth stopping in in my opinion if you have a vietnamese food craving. however, i wouldn't recommend coming here if you're looking for stellar, impressive pho. the service was nice, warm and welcoming which is a nice plus. read more

Pho 45 - pho ga - Vietnamese Near Me - Lakeville, Minnesota

My family and I were here the other day for lunch and had a wonderfully delightful experience. For appetizers, our kids wanted the cream cheese wonton. My father-in-law ordered the eggrolls as well. We ordered the black bean tofu dish (it came with rice), the grilled chicken banh mi (extra pate and extra daikon / carrots). My husband ordered the tofu bun vermicelli noodle bowl which he said was the best tofu dish he had in a long time. Other family members ordered chicken with snow peas. They loved it as well. I believe that this place is always busy for a good reason! They have so many dishes for all dietary preferences and I would definitely come back here again. Exceptional lunch experience! read more

I like discovering a hidden food find. I felt like pho while I was in Burnsville. I did a quick search and found Pho 45. I drove over here for dinner. What's interesting is that Pho 45 is located inside Saigon Asian Food Market. Cool! I parked in a spot where there was a thirty-minute limit. I didn't bother moving my car. I felt that I could eat my dinner during this period. I also didn't see anyone from parking keeping tabs on every vehicle parked in this plaza. You enter on the left of this large store. Pho 45 is on the right side. I walked over there, stopped at the counter, and asked if I could dine in. The woman grabbed a menu and had me seated at a table. A nice man took my order. I got water and P2 on the menu, which is the rare tenderized beef and beef ball pho. I got the large. I didn't go nuts with the extra large because portion sizes in the States tend to be huge. I got my water first. The condiments for my pho (lime wedge, bean sprouts, hot peppers, and mint) came out next. Finally, my bowl of pho was placed in front of me. I was excited. The broth was excellent. It was flavourful and authentic. The tenderized beef was fine. I like thin rare beef, but I didn't see that on the menu. The beef balls were cut into quarters. They looked large even quartered and were yummy. The pho was perfect. The onions and green onions completed everything. The only downside is that most beverages on the menu weren't available for order. You could only get regular pop drinks. I declined. You pay at the counter. I used a credit card. It took a couple of tries for some odd reason, but everything worked out in the end. My meal was just over $10. Cheap good eats. Yes! I highly recommend coming here for a comforting bowl of pho. I look forward to returning to try more items on the menu. (453) read more

I have ordered from here a few times and love it. The egg rolls are the best. If you like Vietnamese Egg rolls these are great. They are very large and the filling is awesome. I usually order the special fried rice which is always good. read more

I remember when this place used to rent out of saigon market off hwy 13, and everytime I went there i'd order seafood pho with veggie broth. As a pescatarian I didn't want the tradition beef broth or pho ga. The staff, always friendly and always makes sure the customer is always satisfied. With that being said I thought they'd carry the same recipes over to lakeville, and I was wrong. The staff was friendly though. read more

Have been to Pho 45 several time. Mostly for take out but also for sit down. Tonight was a take out night. Very disappointed in the following. Sweet sour chicken must of been the last of chicken bag. Very dry and tough. Fried rice was tasteless. Be awhile before we go back to sit down or to go. read more

I walked in to get takeout on New Years Day. They were busy. I placed an order for 3 lunch entrees and waited and waited and waited. I checked my phone at 1:29 and was going to give to 1:45 or I'd walk out as I didn't pay yet. They had many eat in tables. It seemed to them that take out orders were low priority. The worker apologized and gave me 25% off my order. It may be awhile if I return. Takeout customers should be treated with same priority as eat in customers. read more

I moved to Minnesota about a year and half ago and been looking for authentic good tasting food with great atmosphere and this place checks all the boxes I absolutely love this place this is my favorite place in all of Minnesota my wife, kids and me come here at least 2x a week the service is top tier they are supper friendly and make you feel like family I just love this place a lot if you haven't come in and try it out it's so delicious!!! read more

I love that all these new Vietnamese spots are moving into the South Metro. I loving having options. We ordered the big bowl of pho, grilled pork chop Banh Mi sandwich, egg rolls and Bun Bo Hue. Didnt get a chance to take a picture of the egg rolls or Bun Bo Hue, kids were hungry and waited a while for the food to come out. There must have been a call out. The wait was worth it. The Pho was nice and hot for a winters night. The broth was amazing and warms you right up. The egg rolls were good. The Banh Mi was good but the next time I get it I'm going to ask they don't toast the bread as it hurts the roof of my mouth. Over all it was a good balanced sandwich. My son enjoyed the Bun Bo Hue. I asked how would you rate it compared to other places we go and he said it's the best he's had so far. read more

Delicious! I stopped in for lunch and the pho was delicious! The fresh rolls were very tasty too! I'll be back!

1 st time eating at this restaurant and I will definitely be back. All the food I have ordered for myself came out to be so delicious. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Vietnamese food... the pho broth was excellent especially with the thin layer of beef fat on-top of the pho broth makes a huge difference in the flavor profile. The papaya salad was super delicious, but I do wish they didn't drown the dish in sauce. The great thing about this restaurant is that it's located inside the grocery store, you can shop and eat delicious food all in one visit. Great times! Thank you for making memories with me! read more

We've been here several times. Every time, the service has been subpar. It kills me to say this. We are a Vietnamese family and want to support these nice folks. I can't do it. Long wait. Wrong orders. Wrong order. It has happened way too many times. Today was the last. It's Friday night and I am taking my daughter to have some Pho. We get in at 735. We are pointed to a booth. Nobody comes by. After 10 minutes of fiddling with our phones, I tell the tall bus boy to get us some menus. We wait and wait. Nobody comes by. We left at exactly 8pm. That's 25 minutes without being served. Yes. They were busy. But the restaurant was not full. So is this to be expected? Again..... nobody came by...even after 25 minutes. We chose to leave. Sadly, we will not be back. read more

The FOOD wasn't good, little flavor and mushy meat(soggy), we took a couple bites and threw it away! The SERVICE was slow, our order was delivered late, incorrect food items on over half of our order, missing utensils, missing drink(s), and our wonton soup had zero wontons! Ambiance via photos online look presentable! I would not recommend this restaurant for a good experience. TWO STARS at most!! read more

P1 Pho with rare steak was delicious. I would have given a 5 star but the place was not clean. Table and floors were sticky. I also had to pull off the top of the siracha and pour from the bottle as the nozzle with clogged. read more

I'm pretty bummed after seriously loving this place. Ordered again tonight and my sweet and sour chicken was burnt and tasted like fry grease. The wontons were also a little rubbery but, the egg rolls were still super good. I'm sure I'll give them another shot, but still a bummer. read more

Still great food and price, but their new location near Apple Valley makes me nervous. Pho 45 was almost always busy when it was in the Asian grocery store. In the new location, there have been several times we've come where we are 1 of 2 parties in the whole restaurant. I hope more people will eat at Pho 45 so they can stay open and we can continue patronizing them. If you are looking for great Pho and vermicelli noodle bowls, you have to go! read more

Hmmm? Pho 45 hasn't been in business very long to have such mixed reviews. We ordered takeout Shrimp Pad Thai, Chicken Vermicelli, and Spring Rolls. Everything was great. We were the only customers at the time so can't vouch for their rush capability. This small restaurant seems nice enough with a welcoming ambiance. They fill a much needed niche for this area. We're looking forward to our next visit to see if they continue to improve. read more

We DoorDash Pho 45 often and the food is ALWAYS delicious and more than we can finish in one sitting (we tend to over order because we can't decide from all the great options and the options itself come with an ample amount of food). It is authentic, ingredients are fresh and you can tell they put time and effort into everything they make as everything is always nicely put together/presented and our orders are never missing anything. Was shocked to see there aren't more reviews. Staples we get would be the Cream Cheese Wontons, Spring Rolls, House Rice Platter and Cold Cut Banh Mi. read more

I will say the servers were pleasant. My Pho was all fat! Chicken wings were less than they said on menu. If the Pho had meat it would have been good. The person at the front register was not pleasant but I did. It figure him into my review or it would be a one. Don't think I will be back. There is no way they could have made a mistake and put that many chucks of grizzly fat chunks in my Pho. read more

Delicious food served hot and fast. Surprised to find it in a grocery store! Egg rolls were incredible!

So so good. The whole family loves this menu and it is consistently great food! Pho broth is dreamy

Ordered takeout from here, so I can't speak to the service or ambience. Ordered the Mock Duck Banh Mi-- what a great price for this meal!! It filled me UP. They really added a lot of mock duck and it was flavorful and juicy. They were very easy to order from even though I have dietary restrictions. The sandwich was VERY warm too, which was great. Awesome place! I didn't even take a picture bc I was so hungry but it hit the spot. read more

Visiting over any holiday is crazy when everyone in the family is running here & there so we opted to find a pho place just for us near the hotel ... this was a great find & open on Christmas Eve too! Hubby really enjoy his Grilled Chicken Vermicelli (nice serving) and I loved the veggie Pho. Plus we share some spring rolls which were fresh & delicious. Although I ordered just the L serving... both servings were huge & absolutely delish! The restaurant was clean & orderly - all the staff were happy & smiling - service was perfect (although they were cleaning & closing - they did not rush us to finish). We travel here often & will plan to visit again! read more

On our first day in the Minneapolis area, we settled on Pho 45 for lunch based on all the reviews here. Hard to find as it's located inside a smaller Vietnamese grocery store and your only indication that you're in the right place is a red poster board that says "Pho 45" in permanent marker. This is exactly my kinda place. We had a party of 4 adults and 7 kids (yes, 7) and they were really accommodating! Fast service, extra bowls for kids to share, and just a good rhythm to the meal. I ordered the grilled pork chop and my 2 year old practically ate half of it because he liked it so much. Half of my family ordered the sesame chicken and for a Vietnamese restaurant, we were all pleasantly surprised how yummy it was. The actual pho was pretty decent too. Definitely too 5 of all the Pho's I've ever tried. They even had a fridge of Vietnamese desserts that I grew hp eating so it was a nice way to end the meal. Best part was that the prices were extremely reasonable with the consideration of inflation and all. We definitely would recommend!! read more
