    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!

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    Well the Pho' shack is no longer and this new place replaced it. Thank you for keeping the chalk picture representing Viêt Nam it give the place its meaning. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive as well as knowledgeable. Your given water and your essential for your entree The wide spoon with its pedistool, napkins and chopsticks The menu is nice a good variety to chose from. We chose Pho' I got the #1 Pho' 45 Dāc Biêt And my wife got #5 Pho' Tái Chín Mine has a mix the tripe and tendon with brisket and flank steak. Love the broth the mix was great caution this isnt like Menudo tripe and tendon are different but I like it My wife loved the broth and the meat mix. Especially with extra celantro The essential come the water noodles jalapeno and lemon. The place is clean and still holds the decor of the former establishment which I like very much. Beside the one TV they added another on the side wall. Customer service - 9 Atmosphere - 7 music when I came in want for the abiance but they change it Food - 8 Plating and presentation - 8 Atmosphere - 7 Over all I would return to try other entrees

    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!

    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.

    Egg roll
    Devin B.

    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!

    Been two weeks since I've visited this new establishment but really love the food, service and vibe. No longer do you have to drive to Little Saigon area for decent Pho.

    Busy strip mall with a lot of parking. Place is big and clean. Service was fast and friendly. We had the chicken pho & the rare steak pho. Broth was flavorful and they give plenty of meat. I've had a lot of pho from many different restaurants. This is top 5. We will be back.

    Spring roll is amazing

    Great energy since we got here! Very prompt service and amazing food! I am really enjoying this location because there's a lot of space to enjoy yourself with family and share a well made meal.

Food came out quickly and piping hot. FOOD: PORTIONS-what stands out is the HUGE PORTIONS, one plate could probably feed to and perhaps three moderate eaters. QUALITY-unusually and OVERWHELMINGLY OILY. Way more than I would've expected, and detracted from the eating experience. **Cheese WonTon-wrappers were FRIED CRISP AND TENDER, but the decent dollop of cream cheese filling was overwhelming. **KUNG POW CHICKEN was the BEST DISH we had, barely spicy but it hid the oiliness better somehow. **NOODLE (?chow fun) SHRIMP was difficult to eat, and the EXCESSIVE GREASE COATED MY TONGUE so bad the i couldn't taste the shrimp or veggies. **BLACK BEAN BEEF was fair. OILY BUT FLAVORFUL. veggies were nicely cooked still crunchy, but the HARSH ONIONS were overpowering. sweet or milder onions would let me taste the other ingredients more. the beef itself was tender and tasty. I personally won't be returning, but I see the value due to large portions and moderate prices. i'd gladly sacrifice quantity for higher quality.

I came here for dinner, and the restaurant was filled with customers craving food that tastes like home. I tried the "大盤雞" (Big Plate Braised Chicken with Handmade Noodle), and it was absolutely delicious--one of my favorite dishes from this place. The portion is huge--easily enough for 2-3 people to share. I recommend ordering it with extra noodles. My husband is a huge fan of their sweet and sour pork fillet. It's all meat--no unnecessary bell peppers or onions. The meat is incredibly crispy, and the sauce strikes a perfect balance between sweet and sour. It's one of the best versions we've had. If you're looking for something hot and sour, I recommend the QiShan-style noodle soup. The broth is tangy with numbing chili, and it's packed with pickled mustard greens, pork, chives, and other toppings. Absolutely delicious and satisfying! I'm looking forward to trying more items on the menu in the future.

I could have sworn the menu of "Noodle World" was more robust 'tho with many other dishes. So, I think this might just be a "smaller" (in space) location to the one in Alhambra, maybe. Parking was easy 'tho and it's on the cusp of the East Los Angeles area. Nothing too wrong about this place, other than the restroom/bathroom is a bit intimidatingly overrun by graffiti where it has a bad aesthetic, but isn't filthy nor dirty per se, just not the way a public restroom should look and they might consider getting rid of the graffiti (unless it's a clientele problem that continues to arise and can never be kept clean).
