    After church brunch My wife has been a little under the weather so Pho' soup sound good. I got #9 and my wife got #5. Soup is good as always enough protein noodles mix well. Got our egg rolls as well Music in the air more calmer then the last time we came. Place is clean and wait staff very attentive. Love how you walk in and they yell "welcome" ! Young lead wait staff I like him always welcoming. They have hand held POS system for ordering a little modern touch. I still and will continue to recommend this establishment, see my past reviews for more info

    This was my 3rd visit to pho 45. And I won't be coming back anymore. The soup got super salty and now there putting to much fish sauce. The customer service is great but the food not anymore. I'll go to your la mirada, it's better there. Thanks

    Came In and were instantly greeted by multiple people. They opened this year I guess in this location they are #3. Staff were very friendly and helped us with questions we had on the menu. We chose the #5 rare steak and well done brisket. We also ordered egg rolls. Food came out extremely fast and the broth before adding anything tasted pretty good. The restaurant was colorful and bright, had a good mixture of tables and booths. Would definitely come back there again. We didn't experience anything sub par during our experience.

    Omg omg omg omg. This is the 3rd location now for Pho 45! Service: You will see Ann herself here at the Pico Rivera as well as La Mirada. She was so cute. She remembered me from the other location. She was checking in very often. Thank you Ann! Food: I got the tendon and brisket pho as well as the spring rolls. Let me tell you they do not skimp on the meat at all. It was so filling. I loved it. The broth is nice simple and smooth. I like to dip my meat in the sriracha and hoisin sauce. The spring rolls were actually massive ! lol. It was tough to finish but I did take it to go. So worth it!

    A couple of buddies at work were raving about a new pho spot near our job, so who am I to say no to a good recommendation? Right when you walk in, the place is super clean and surprisingly pretty busy for a Wednesday, which is always a good sign. The staff was great--everyone was greeted like a regular the moment they walked in. Annie, our server, was extremely attentive and made several solid recommendations that did not disappoint. The food was amazing. The broth was spot on, the noodles were fresh, and the meat was perfectly tender. My wife ordered the #27, and it was packed with flavor with incredibly tender meat. I'll definitely be coming back. Glad to see they've found a home here in Pico Rivera. Highly recommend!

    This was amazing! Highly recommend it! The grilled pork is a MUST! I had it on everything and it was perfectly cooked. Soft and super flavorful! The spring roll was nice and fresh paired well with penut sauce! The soup was good! The portions were huge! The restaurant is super cute! The service was amazing! Everyone was so nice!

    Grilled chicken with rice add fried Egg, so good!

    Love this place so good and great service! Will definitely come back. Came in and ordered a beef soup and it was so good, the grilled chicken plate is also very good!

    I love this place to feel super fresh employees are so nice to services. Amazing. I will be returning. As soon as I got my order and give us complementary pho. So delicious and fresh. It was a very clean space. Nice and tiny. And everything was really well. Organized and clean. They also had beautiful decor Look very luxurious. Also, the bathrooms were very clean and smelled clean. These portions were pretty big. Highly recommend. The only thing that suck was that their Thai Tea was very diluted, and the flavor just wasn't there. Wish it had a stronger taste.

    Pho Dav Biet and off the menu winter melon tea (it was really good, should be added in the future)

    Its a great pho place. Plenty of seating, quick service and decently priced especially for the times. Definitely worth checking out

    Wow! Stopped in while passing through and found some amazing Vietnamese food! Pho 45 seems to be the place because it was popping in there with groups over 12 and as small as 1. We got egg rolls. Spring rolls, chicken bahn mi and beef brisket pho and everything was packed full of flavor and filling! The portions are huge for everything so bring and appetite and a dining partner so you can try it all!! The staff were also so amazing and helpful you feel like it's more family style while you're there!

    #5 , Grilled pork spring rolls

    If you're ever in the area and looking for a GOOODDDDD PHO... THIS IS IT. The owner is the sweetest! Their service, cleanliness, food &&&& DEFF Budget friendly! 100/10. In this economy, the small complimentary pho bowls for the little ones goes a LONG way. I'm soooo glad to have found this spot!

    After a few years of searching for a great pho place I can honestly say I've found my FAVORITE.! If I could rate this place a 10/10 I would! Let me say the food quality amazing and the staff is so welcoming and so quick they make you feel taken care of the whole time you're there. The ambience here is so good no one compares I will definitely be coming here more often. Also shout out to the owner the most humble and generous man, thank you. If you're around the pico are this is a must try place.

    Pho with Well done steak, well done brisket and tripe.
    Georgette S.

    Still keep coming back!! Easy to order for pick up and to go. I wish they can add on the menu Well Done Steak, Well Done Brisket and tripe. I always have to order No. #7 and ask to substitute the Well Done Flank for Well Done Brisket. Pho 45 please add it to it menu? I will still continue to go there either way. Food is never disappointing. We eat there too. The place is clean and lots of seating.

    Number One Pho, good portion. Spring rolls really big and rolled well!

The decors were cool. We signed in to the waiting list. Waited outside and before long, we were called in and got our table. The staffs were courteous and friendly. This is a Vietnamese restaurant that also serve Chinese Foods. They have two sets of menus. One for Vietnamese dishes and the other one for Chinese dishes. Both menus offer a variety of selections. They even have Set Dinner Menu that comes with pre-set items. Have to give that a try one day. We ended up ordering the Bún Bò Huế and the Vietnamese Braised Fish. The Braised Fish did not come with steam rice, so we had to order the steam rice. For the drinks, we had the Peach Oolong Iced Tea and the 3-Colored Dessert. The Bún Bò Huế was very good. The Braised Fish was a little salty but still tasted good. The Peach Oolong Iced Tea was refreshing. The 3-Colored Dessert was very yummy. I enjoyed the sweet taste of it. They gave us orange slices for dessert on the house. The orange slices were so sweet and delicious. Will be back to try their other dishes I saw on their menus.

This soup is so pungent that the only time I get to savor it is at home and the stink doesn't leave your home for a few days. So, it is to my delight that they offer it here during the weekdays. It is a nicely stacked bowl that has everything but the kitchen sink in it - roast pork belly, catfish, squid, eggplant, and stuffed jalapeno with fried fish cake. Very filling and reasonably priced! The only reason I gave this place a 4 instead of 5 rating is because you can only order certain items from the menu when they open. I wanted to get some Chinese food to-go for my husband, but was told by the server that the other items were only available beginning at 10 am, which is odd to me.

Since there are multiple locations, we debated between the South Gate and Whittier spots because they're both about the same distance from us in Montebello. For our first visit, I'm really glad we chose this location. The shopping center is huge, so finding parking was easy, even though the area was busy. When we walked in, the restaurant was pretty crowded. All of the booths were occupied, and only a few tables were available, so we waited about five minutes while a staff member cleaned a booth for us. Once seated, we looked over the menu and ordered the egg rolls and garlic truffle fries to start. For our entrées, we chose the ribeye pho and chicken pho. The server was kind enough to offer me a sample of the salted coffee. I had already had coffee earlier in the day, so I didn't order one, but I'm glad I tried it because I'll definitely be getting one next time. Instead, I ordered the cucumber limonade. Overall, we had a great experience. The staff was friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout our meal. The food was delicious, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're looking for a good late-night pho spot.

They give a LOT of meat, i swear my pho ga was 99% chicken and 1% pho noodles lol! Broth has cilantro + green onions, yum!

Service was outstanding- second you step in, you are kindly greeted and get to choose your seat. They bring out your waters, utensils, napkins immediately. They check up on you to make sure you are taken care of if you need anything. 6 out 5 stars for the service, never had this amazing of service like this before at any pho restaurant, major shoutout to the PM crew on 6/9, you guys made our first time experience here AMAZING!

For that reason, I feel it is important to provide a factual account of what occurred. I visited the restaurant to place several combo orders. During the ordering process, the employee assisting me asked if she could briefly step away to get some water. I agreed without issue. When she returned, her demeanor and tone came across as annoyed, frustrated, and dismissive. In an effort to make the ordering process easier, I suggested that we complete the orders one at a time so that it would not feel overwhelming. I also commented that the interaction was not great customer service. The employee immediately responded by stating that she suffers from panic attacks and suggested that my comment meant I was uncomfortable with her medical condition. I explained that I had no knowledge of her medical history and that my feedback was directed at the customer service experience, not at any personal or medical matter. The discussion then shifted away from the order itself. I was told that I was shaming and invalidating her medical condition. I reiterated that I was addressing the service I was receiving and had no way of knowing anything about her medical history before it was disclosed to me. During the conversation, the employee raised her voice. When I calmly asked that she not raise her voice at me since I was not raising mine at her, she responded, "I will raise my voice if I want." The employee also made comments suggesting that I believed I could speak to people a certain way because of "corporate" culture and stated that "here we are all equal." I had never mentioned my occupation, employer, position, or social status at any point during the interaction. These comments appeared unrelated to the issue being discussed and were based on assumptions rather than anything I had said. Despite the disagreement, I still intended to complete my purchase and continue placing my order. Instead, the employee turned to another staff member and stated, "Cancel their order. We're not serving them." I then asked to speak with management in hopes of resolving the matter professionally. The employee scoffed and informed me that she was management. Shortly thereafter, I was instructed to leave the establishment. My concern was never that an employee may have a medical condition. My concern was the manner in which a customer-service concern was handled. Customers cannot reasonably be expected to know an employee's medical history, and feedback about service should not automatically be treated as a personal attack. Professionalism requires addressing concerns respectfully, even when there is disagreement. What disappointed me most was not the disagreement itself, but the decision to escalate the situation, make personal assumptions, raise one's voice, refuse service, and ultimately remove a customer who was still attempting to complete a purchase. Given the many positive experiences I have had here over the years, this outcome was surprising and disappointing. I hope ownership reviews this incident carefully and places greater emphasis on professionalism, communication, and conflict resolution moving forward.
