Really good food . Friendly and attentive staff . Price was very reasonable. Clean and welcoming place . Will return

41. Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio
Dana T.

I was excited to try a Viet place not in Garden Grove, but this place made me realize that nothing will ever beat the classic spots. I got the Bun Thit Nuong with Cha Gio and it was very bland and underwhelming. I had to ask for extra fish sauce and drown it in the sauce but it was still so bland. The meat was decent at least, but they barely give you any. The egg roll tasted stale and flavorless. The service here is very off putting because the staff is a little rude and side eye you when eating. Overall, super disappointed and will not be returning.

Food was phenomenal. Great price for such large portions! Service was super speedy! Ambiance was decent super crowded and had to wait a little to get in. #4 brisket ( well done) - 5/5 Egg rolls - 5/5

3. Pho Short Rib
Krystle I.

Amazing food! Pho is delicious, bahn mi is perfection, and the egg rolls are fried to a crispy golden brown. My family and I visited from Seattle and we are so happy we chose Pho 45. Our waiter was so kind and attentive. When our tired 3 year old was about to throw a fit he brought out a kids bowl of pho just for her without us even asking. Best customer service I've had in a while.

4. Pho Chin
Elijah I.

One of the best pho spots I've been to. Place was packed when I came by so be prepared. Service was amazing from the moment I walked in and greeted right away. I ordered the Pho Chin, which comes with well-done brisket, and it was excellent. No complaints at all, the broth was rich and flavorful, and the spices and sauces provided on the side were the perfect touch. Once you're done, you just head up to pay, which makes the whole experience quick and easy. Overall, a must try if you're in the area and craving a quality bowl of pho. Definitely coming back.

Grilled pork spring mushrooms: grilled pork is the same as charbroiled grilled pork chop rice dish. Packed with noodles, lettuce wrap and pork dish is savory and filling.

This is my fav local spot for pho. I've been coming here for almost a decade & the quality & taste has been consistent for all these years. The best part is the broth. It's served hot (temperature wise) which is a huge plus for me. Nowhere else I've been to serves their broth this hot. I also like that they're generous with the meat portion, onions & green onions although you could always order more on the side. Their spring roll isn't anything special but always served fresh. My husband orders the shrimp fried rice whenever he isn't in the mood for pho. The fried rice is also nothing out of the ordinary but solid. The 5 star review is for the pho. Service is polite & efficient. Place is packed all the time but never had to wait too long. I'll keep coming back as long as I'm nearby.

Shrimp Spring Roll

A well-deserved 5-star Vietnamese pho restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious, and the prices are very reasonable -- that's just the baseline here. What really sets this place apart is the outstanding service. Every staff member greets customers with a genuine smile, serves quickly, and treats guests with real care. Other restaurants should come here and learn what true hospitality means. While so many places only focus on tips, this team focuses on people -- and that makes all the difference.

Have been coming to this restaurant for the last 5 years and I recommend it to everyone in the area! 10/10 food and just as good hospitality and customer service! Food 10/10 The pho is delicious with a flavorful broth, tender thinly cut meat, and fresh and generous garnish. I've also tried their spring rolls and Vietnamese coffee both of which are also good. I would ask for less sweetness for the coffee though unless you have a big sweet tooth, but overall the coffee is nice and strong and fulfills my Vietnamese coffee craving. Service 10/10 One of the main things that makes me come back to this particular pho restaurant when there are so many in the area is their excellent and consistent customer service. The staff is warm, welcoming, kind, and attentive. I've never once had to ask them to refill my water because they're always on top of it. Even while writing this, they refilled my water! There was once when I visited and the owner was going around meeting and chatting with customers, something I've never seen at a restaurant before. Their hospitality definitely makes them a stand out. Whether I come in a group or alone, they're always extremely attentive and hospitable. Their whole wait staff works really well together. Aesthetic/Space The place is simple, clean, and modern. If you going during dinner especially on the weekends, there may be a short wait. Other times, you should have no trouble getting a seat. Food comes out fast and takeout as well! Will definitely continue to come back. I hope this place stays in business for a very long time!

Great food and fast service. I took my meal to go, but would eat in the next time. The pho broth is flavorful and just what you need. I added the meatballs on the side. A little pricey, but it was a nice splurge. I also had the spring rolls and those were delightful.

Egg rolls
Leslie W.

I came to Pho 45 and tried the brisket pho, #22 cơm tấm, coconut water, and egg rolls. Everything came out fast--within about five minutes--and the flavors were on point. The broth was tasty and comforting, the pork on the cơm tấm had a great barbecue flavor, and the egg rolls were crispy and well seasoned. Honestly the best pho in all of Whittier and La Mirada. I'd definitely come back.

Pho Brisket
Victoria A.

This is a local favorite for a reason, it's incredible. I visited on a Sunday night and it was pretty poppin as always, but not too long of a wait either (about 10 minutes or so). The service staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, the food comes out quickly (but not too quickly, I'd say 15 minutes or so), and the restaurant seating is comfortable and clean. Overall, great!!! Will be exploring more of the menu soon.

Spring rolls
Justina C.

Was quickly seated by the servers and the food came very, very quickly. I liked the spring rolls, they were largely portioned and the peanut sauce was delicious. I got the first combo pho item, which has all different types of meat in it. There was a lot of meat and noodle in my dish, but the broth was not as flavorful as I would've liked. You have to go up to the counter and pay, so it feels somewhat hectic but very efficient.

Is this owned by the pho 45 In Garden grove also?

I am not sure. You can call them directly and get the right answer.

Do you add sugar to Pho? I am on a Keto diet that requires me no sugars. Appreciate your help

Traditional Pho contains rock sugar. The level of rock sugar also depends if you are eating "north" pho or "southern" pho. Sriracha also has sugar.

Any one know why they are still closed? When will they re-open?

Closed

Does anyone know if they are open?

I went by last week and they were closed. I'm not sure if they were remodeling or taking everything out.

Will you be open Christmas Eve?

Does anyone know if they're open for dine in again?

We Are Open now ...

Does anyone know if they're still open with all the Covina-19 virus that's going on now?

I've called numerous times over the past couple of weeks and the phone goes to a full voicemail box.. no answer. Not sure if they are still open for business.

Can you order pho to go?

Yes just call the number that is listed

Loved our Sunday lunch here! Super tender and tasty sizzling braised beef with cheese ($67) and…read morebeef brisket noodle soup ($20) was just perfect! Banchans were delicious and fresh. We were craving Korean food, searched Yelp and this popped up. What a fantastic find. Servings are generous and we ate left-overs the next day and it still tasted great! We'll definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. Glad to discover another type of Korean cuisine. Happy to support this local mom & pop business! The lady owner was the only server/busser on a busy Sunday and she hustled back & forth. Highly recommended!

My partner and I stopped by for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to be seated right away…read more We ordered the premium gomtang and the yukgaejang. I will say the service is pretty slow, I'd keep that in mind especially if you're looking for a quick meal. I will say there's about 1.5 people working the front with 12 tables, so it would probably have been better if they had 2 people dedicated to the front. Both soups were good! The menu was a little difficult to tell what the difference between the options were. I wasn't sure what really went into the premium gomtang aside from the fact that it was a combo of meats. I will say that mine was very tendon heavy, so if that's not your preference, I'd lean away from the premium gomtang. My partner liked his yukgaejang. The banchan was good, but I did feel like the kimchi was purposefully on the saltier side as to complement the gomtang. Overall, solid place and would return.

Been coming here for years and Han Yang is always a solid and consistent choice for soups…read more Food 10/10 I've had the: --Sul Long Tang (ox bone soup) --Yuk Gae Jang (spicy beef and vegetable soup) --Galbi Tang (beef short ribs soup) The Sul Tang is delicious and easy to eat. You need to add your own salt which is provided on the table. It's a simple and filling soup. The Galbi Tang is flavorful with lots of meat. You also add your own salt. This is one of my go to "sick dishes" as it's very comforting. Their Yuk Gae Jang is SO GOOD. It's definitely my favorite here. It's the perfect amount of spice. It's filled with meat, noodles, and veggies. The flavor of the broth itself is so yummy and when rice is added, one bowl can be stretched to three full meals. I had this dish last week and I actually can't stop thinking about it. Overall everything here has been delicious and the portions are very generous. The banchan includes 3 dishes: radish kimchi, kimchi, and mustard greens kimchi. All have fish sauce. Service 10/10 Servers are quick, efficient, and attentive. They brought extra bowls and without being asked, brought serving spoons and scissors to cut the noodles with. I have a fish/seafood allergy and I appreciate them taking it seriously and letting me know which foods they recommended I stay away from although they did not know for certain. I wish they knew which dishes had fish/seafood so I knew for sure what was allergy safe, but I understand that it's impossible to know the ingredients of every dish. Ambiance 8/10 I've been coming here since the pandemic days when they had outdoor seating and it's always very neat, clean, and pretty quiet as well. There is plenty of parking and lots of other dessert, drink, and food places nearby. Even though it's almost 90 degrees outside, I've been craving their Yuk Gae Jang and can't wait till my next visit!

The best late night comfort food! Soup Shop has good food, and they're open late. It's no wonder…read morethere's always people waiting for a table outside. We were craving some warm pho on a cold night, and Soup Shop sounded like the perfect spot. The plaza Soup Shop is located in is usually super crowded, but if you go after 9pm when most of the other restaurants and shops are closed, you'll find plenty of parking. Write your name down on the waiting list at the front podium and then wait for your name to be called. They have a few seats to wait right outside the door. Once we were seated, we were given menus. I really like that their menu has a lot of large photos of the dishes, so you know what you're getting! Once we ordered, the food came out pretty quickly despite being busy. For appetizers, we ordered the Crunchy Pork "Bao" since it sounded unique. Inside the bao is pork shoulder, mushroom, Vietnamese sausage, and quail egg. The outside has a thin, perfectly crispy layer that gives a nice little crunch when you bite into it. Really enjoyed these and would recommend! We also got the Crusted Parmesan Cauliflower. Not sure what's in the sauce, but it's sweet, tangy, and delicious! It's also topped with fried onion, cilantro, cucumber, and parmesan cheese. Also a winner! For entrees, we got the Chicken Pho and the Pho Ribeye. For the chicken Pho, you can get it with thigh or breast meat. I got it with breast meat, and they gave a good amount of meat! A little dry, but I appreciated that it was nice and lean. The flavor of the soup is really good. Pho Ribeye was also tasty! Hit the spot.

Stopped by Soup Shop during my lunch hour after feeling cold at work and was craving something warm…read moreand comforting. I ordered the pho brisket along with the crispy Vietnamese egg rolls (chả giò) through Yelp for pickup and drove out to grab it myself. The broth had really good flavor and definitely hit the spot once I warmed it back up at work. The brisket portions were generous, and the egg rolls were crispy, flavorful, and probably my favorite part of the meal. By the time I got back to work, the pho had cooled down a bit, so I did have to reheat it, and I noticed some grease collecting on top of the soup after it sat for a while. Overall though, still a satisfying and comforting lunch on a cold day, and I'd come back again when I'm craving pho.
