#1 Pho with sliced onion
Juliana L.

It was my first time trying this restaurant since it took over from the previous business, and I was pleasantly surprised! The two servers at the front were welcoming and friendly. They checked in throughout the meal. The food was absolutely delicious. Every cut of meat was tender and full of flavor, and the noodles had the perfect chewy texture. The Thai tea was also amazing--refreshing and creamy. Overall, fantastic first experience, and we'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

For dinner, we were looking for noodles...and chose Pho. Saw this place had good reviews and was locally owned (always love supporting family business). We went for dinner around 8:30pm, and the brightly lit inside along with the large green sign make this place hard to miss. It's located down Whittier Blvd, in the large parking lot with other businesses like Superior Grocers, Burlington Coat Factory, and In & Out (if you need landmark reference). They also had a Grand Opening banner out but that was in Jan of this year. At the time we went there were only a few other diners so it was pretty empty. You seat yourself where ever there is open seating. There are also 2 gender neutral restrooms in the back. The menu is pretty standard for Pho places, with your traditional soup pho, vermicelli, stir-fried, and rice dishes. We ordered a 4-piece spring roll and the #1 combo pho (rare steak, well-done flank, brisket, tendon, and tripe). Previous reviews saying the portions are generous, is accurate. The spring rolls were large and cut in half, we could have easily been satisfied with just the 2-piece as I'm used to them being smaller. Now the Pho...at most other places this size would have been considered a large portion. Broth was flavorful, salty with the slight sweetness. Plenty of noodles (I almost didn't finish) and large cuts of the proteins. My bf and I ended up taking our broths home as well as the spring rolls. Everything was delicious as was definitely worth the price for the amount of food served. Service was quick and all the servers were attentive to each of the tables and kind. One of them had thanked us for coming in that evening. I feel like this place has made a name for itself, as literally the last hour to 45 minutes people started just flowing in. It went from empty to busy in the span of our time dining, which I love to see in a restaurant. If you're in the area looking for a good Pho spot, with better than average portion sizes stop by Pho 45!

This pho spot was really solid! After an engagement party, my girlfriend and I came here before closing. Staff was really on it and was checking up on us a bunch. The inside felt really new and modern too. We sat at a booth and enjoyed a bowl of pho each and springs rolls. Spring rolls were really big and the peanut sauce was great. Had a good amount of sweetness to it. The pho was also good, the broth was solid but I didn't like the meat too much. I got the pho tai (rare steak) and it had a lot of yellow fat flaking off of it. I'm not used to that and haven't been to any pho spots that had so much yellow on it. I looked it up and its normal but I've been to plenty of authentic spots without that. Not for me but good pho overall and would come back if I was looking for pho.

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

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!

#2 Rare steak pho (rice noodles)

So it's my first time trying this spot and I always go to different locations to find the best Pho available. Their Pho tasted so good. It's all in the broth and they definitely have that part down. The restaurant itself is very clean, simple but cute/ stylish. The service was amazing and very welcoming as well. The owner is such a personality, he brought a positive vibe to the restaurant for sure.

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 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.

Shrimp pho

Amazing experience at Pho 45! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The pho was amazing, with a rich and flavorful broth and generous portions. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. The restaurant was clean and had a great atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite spots for pho! I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!

Plenty of Parking and plenty of booth and table seating. The restaurant is very nice and clean inside and the service was very good. They give you a pitcher of ice cold water. The menu offer a wide range of food from pho, banh mi, lomo saltado, to seafood boil. The price is pretty reasonable for the amount of food you get. - Egg Roll (2 pcs only) for $5.99 - Freshly fried (let it cool for a bit), comes with lettuce, radish, and fish sauce. It's very flavorful. - Pho rare steak (P12) $13.99- Love it that my broth is hot, very flavorful, lots of noodle, meat was so-so. (comes with a plate of bean sprouts, lemon, basil, and jalapenos) -Chicken tender with fries $13.99 - Tender was good, fries were so-so. - Grilled All-in (Beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, eggroll) $15.99 (G01) - You can pick either rice or vermicelli. I ordered this to-go and it was a very decent portion. Overall plate was really good except the chicken. The chicken was very dry and grainy. I'm going to have to come back and try their lomo saltado and seafood boil.

They were perfectly crispy on the outside, had lots of filling inside, and came with 6 big pieces. It also had a side of veggies and fish sauce, which I love using to wrap my egg rolls. The golden delight pho had rare meat and noodles to the side, while the other toppings came inside the sizzling pot of broth. It had lots of noodles and toppings: tripe, rare beef, tendon, meat balls, and brisket. Pho was really rich in flavor. I also loved that the sizzling pots kept the broth hot the whole time. Noodles were also very bouncy, loved the texture. Beef short ribs were also very tender and full of flavor. Although it was very busy during a Tuesday lunch hour, the waiters sat us asap. The restaurant was pretty full but the food still came out really quick. Servers were really nice and attentive. They checked on us a few times. The restaurant has lots of tables and it was clean. It gave an overall homey- atmosphere. I would definitely come here again. Pho is a great price for its quality!

Okay so I'll be the first to admit -- this place has been sitting right under my nose for who knows…read morehow long and somehow I never made it in. Honestly? Embarrassing. Moving on. So yeah, it's another Vietnamese spot in Rosemead. And before you say anything -- yes, it's a pho review. Again. Look, I don't make the rules, I just eat the soup. This place does something a little different though. Their thing is the earth stone bowl -- basically a heated stone bowl that keeps your broth stupid hot while all your toppings come on the side in separate little dishes. Cool concept, very extra, I respect the commitment. But here's the thing -- it was hot outside. Like uncomfortably, aggressively, why-am-I-outside hot. So sweating over a volcanic bowl of soup wasn't exactly on my agenda. I went with the regular bowl, picked two types of beef and tendon, and called it a day. First sip of the broth and I genuinely had to put the spoon down for a second. Not in a dramatic way -- just in a "okay, this is actually really good" kind of way. It holds up against every other spot I've been to, no question. But what got me was the flavor -- there's something subtle going on in there that's hard to put your finger on but impossible to ignore. The kind of broth that just works and doesn't need to explain itself. The toppings were solid, but the tendon was lowkey the highlight. Soft, chewy, not rubbery -- exactly what you want. Some places fumble the tendon. These guys didn't. Iced tea on the side, Saturday afternoon, nothing else going on -- honestly doesn't get much better than that. Should've come here sooner. My loss.

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.
