    Dining room!

    I'm so excited to have this new location! Tommy and the crew welcomed me and helped me out real quick! Pho is always spot on and no order is complete without the spring rolls! Check them out if you haven't yet you won't be disappointed and find your new spot!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Just had 1 of the best pho in So Cal. The soup is very rich and clean. Someone said the portion is small, no the portion they give you for the price is perfect. They give you alot. Service os also good too. Ill be back for more

    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.

    Friendly service, huge portions, but marginally chinese and super greasy. If it's any indicator,…read morethey DONT EVEN GIVE CHOPSTICKS. Think made-to-order elevated food court Chinese-ISH-style dishes. SERVICE: when we first walked in, the guy bussing tables onto his cart made eye contact, then COMPLETELY IGNORED US despite it being obvious that we were there for dinner. off-putting, i ALMOST WALKED OUT :/ Once we chased someone down and got seated, our waiter was super FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. 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 remember really liking it, but for some reason we hadn't been back in a while. This week my husband couldn't stop talking about wanting an Italian sub, and Frumento's immediately came to mind. We drove down and ordered the '58 Classic and another tuna sub, both as combos. The sides absolutely stole the show. The purple cabbage was so good, the coleslaw wasn't my personal favorite but my husband loved it, the four bean salad was absolutely mouthwatering, and the marinated mushrooms were also delicious. I'm genuinely so glad we have leftovers for tomorrow because I'll definitely be thinking about that bean salad again. We'll absolutely be back!

You can make any of their sandwiches into a combo plate for $3 more you get 2 sides (Mombo Meal). Their sides were good but not amazing, personally will be sticking to just their sandwiches. JALAPENO STACK -sooo good! Roast beef, turkey breast and Italian dry salami paired well together. Avocado added perfect creaminess. Their Cheesy Jalapeno Snack Bread is amazing, top had just the right amount of crisp from being toasted. FRUMENTO'S GRILLED PHILLY -opted for half roast beef and half smoked turkey breast and it was just what I needed. Solid hot sandwich. TASTE OF ITALY -a classic cold cut sandwich, it was good but their hot sandwiches were much better. Desserts were a hit or miss here. Tried the Strawberry Cheese cake and that was really good- creamy, airy and not too sweet. Tiramisu was a bust- mainly vanilla cake, bit too sweet, no espresso flavor, cream didn't have any mascarpone cheese flavor at all.

Omg the rye bread is made on the premises...so tasty, soft, fresh...better than Langers, the rye bread is thinner and the crust is crunchier...Pollys Pies makes it with a softer crust. 5 of 5...totally wasn't expecting that. The sandwich was thick and well-builtbwith corned beef and sourkraut and a slice of Swiss cheese, melting but not melted. I was fine with that. The lunch came on a metal tray, but because I was sharing, our lovely server brought us a platter without me having to ask. You can get your choice of Cole slaw or sweet potato and other possibilities like oni9n rings, but we went with basic fries. I loved that the fries were not presalted, or they were lightly salted, but mom needed to sprinkle more on and she found some black bits made from bad potatoes. 3 of 5. We both loved the lemonade, very refreshing 5 of 5. And while we were disappointed there wasn't any pumpkin pecan cheesecake or key lime pie or pecan pie, we were told they were only special holiday items, we decided on cherry pie a la mode. The pie was hot, but the huge helping if ice cream managed to hold together and not be soup despite the hot cherry pie slice. Overall both mom and I wete impressed with the lunch...and also the clientele were very nice....one told us about the free entree and free pie slice if it's your birthday, so immediately I hit the website on my phone and signed up for their rewards program ...then another neighboring patron helped us with the Wednesday Bingo. Whaassst? They have bingo??!! Every Wednesday. You don't pay for the fun...it's free to play. You can win a to go container of cookies made fresh on the premises....snickerdoodle, chocolate chip etc ...the games are from 4 to 6 pm. And it's hilarious...you bingo in shapes like a 7 or railroad tracks. .this kind of bingo game play was foreign to me. But the host (i think his name was Leo) he came around to every table passing out colored dabber pens and bingo cards...and he showed the pattern on his mobile phone...the host was lively and had all the game equipment to call a legit bingo game. Big-time fun. My mom was delighted, and would have stayed but I had another appointment so we cut out after three games. I actually won one round, but so did another guy, so we went to sudden death, and I lost out on the oatmeal cookies...bummer!! Highly recommend Wednesday at Pollys Pies. Plenty of free parking. Thank you Polly Pies for the good food, great pie, and for the Bingo!! And the friendly staff. My mom and I had a blast.
