It's all a numbers game with pho, and this one came highly recommended by a friend who lives out there. The broth here is super-savory and has a deep flavor. The #1 is the everything sample: soft rare steak, tender brisket and flank, tendon and tripe for texture. If you're hungry, there's one with Beef Ribs. Same solid broth and it's fun to see those big bones sticking out of your soup. Sadly, I don't think I'd get it again - one of my ribs was mostly a sac of inedible fatty tissue, and that was really unpleasant. Eggrolls are the best! Impossibly crunchy wrapper, juicy mincemeat with a perfect ratio. Get more than one order because four is too few to share. Dip in fish sauce and wrap in lettuce for best results. I like it. I bet you will too. read more

They scam you by caluating the Tip inclusive of the tax. I had a combination pho which is $15.99. Tax was $1.52 (9.5%). So the total was $17.51. I have selected 15% Tip which should be $2.40. The total amount I should have paid should be $19.91 ($17.51+$2.40). However, what I have ened up paying was $20.14 = $17.51 + $2.63 (15% of $17.51). Why am I paying tips for tax? It doesnt show the percentage of the Tip you paid on the receipt!. This is very disturbing and wrongful act! read more

Pho 45 - Receipt - Vietnamese Near Me - La Mirada, California

This pho place was big and service was quick and attentive! We were greeted immediately, sat down within a few minutes and food came out so fast once we ordered. This place seems busy on the regular. Rightfully so. Their pho broth was amazing! The restaurant was a little loud for my liking though. read more

Pros: Large servings for the price Fast team service Enjoyed the fresh spring rolls Lots of meat in the pho Ample seating Cons: The peanut sauce for the rolls was a bit thick Pho broth was a bit weak The restaurant felt a bit unclean Pro tip: Decent place for pho if you are in need of a quick, healthy lunch. read more

10/10 service, very proud to have such a good pho spot up the street from me and for the quality of service this staff exudes. They care about their customers experience so tip them well and spend your money here! read more

if you are looking for some of the most authentic, deep-flavored broth in La Mirada, Pho 45 is the absolute destination. The Food: Generous & Genuine The first thing you'll notice here is the portion size. They do not skim on the noodles or the meat. I've tried several spots in the area, and Pho 45 stands out for the sheer volume of high-quality ingredients they pack into a bowl. The broth is the real deal--clear, aromatic, and rich with that traditional beef marrow flavor that only comes from a long, slow simmer. It's not overly sweet or heavy on the MSG; it just tastes like a home-cooked meal made by someone who knows exactly what they're doing. The herbs and bean sprouts served on the side were crisp and fresh, which is always a tell-tale sign of a kitchen that cares. The Atmosphere & Service Let's talk about the vibe: It is hectic. This place is a local favorite and for good reason, so expect a crowd and a lot of movement. The service is actually quite good--the staff is efficient, fast, and they move with a sense of urgency to get everyone fed. While it can feel a bit chaotic inside during peak hours, I actually find that it adds to the charm of an authentic noodle house. It's loud, it's busy, and the food comes out piping hot. Final Verdict: Don't let the crowd intimidate you. Put your name in, wait a few minutes, and get ready for a massive bowl of some of the best pho in the area read more

Disclaimer this is just a comparison to the Pho 45 in garden grove. It's the same chain, but this location has only one size bowl, which is a large. They are open until 9:30 which is a plus and this restaurant is larger! They are super friendly. The pho here does take a little longer to come out, but you are not waiting for more than 10 minutes. The meat isn't as soft and broth as flavorful/clean, but still does the job. If you get the chance, I'd definitely recommend the Pho 45 in GG! read more

Pho 45 - Vietnamese Near Me - La Mirada, California

Absolutely rude and unprofessional staff. 30 mins had passed by so we asked the male waiter what happed to our food. He looked worried, didn't say a word and quickly walked backed to the counter. He spoke with all the staff and they all looked very concerned. Finally, this female worker walked over to our table. She had two receipts in her hand and asked us if we ordered 4 egg rolls. I told her no, we ordered 6. Then she knew which one was our order. She said they ran out of egg rolls. So I told her that is fine but what about our 4 entrees? Then she repeated in a very annoyed tone that they ran out of eggs rolls. I repeated that's fine but there's three tables of people who sat way after us and they already got their food and are almost done eating. She again repeated and yelled "we ran out of egg rolls" and walked away. Then, my family and I got up and walked out. We would have been fine to wait if the female waiter just admitted and apologized that they forgot our order but instead she yelled at us like we did something wrong. Never coming back here again. read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for something hit and delicious. Pho 45 did NOT disappoint. I ordered the Pho Tai and the broth was so flavorful and the meat was perfect. The boyfriend ordered the Tofu Pho was tender and the flavor was good. We came on a Friday night so this place was hopping! The food literally came out within minutes of ordering and the entire wait staff were so sweet and absolutely adorable. What I love about Pho restaurants is seeing the hustle and bustle and then all you see are quiet tables (they're too busy eating). There plenty of parking so come hungry cause I'm stuffed. read more

I grew up in SGV and OC, so when I moved to Rowland Heights, I was disappointed to find that the pho in the area just wasn't the same. Recently, I discovered Pho 45, only 20 minutes away, and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed! I normally avoid pho tai because of the chewy texture, but my fiance ordered it and recommended I try some of his cause of how good it tasted. Holy moly, their tai was incredible--it melted in my mouth. You can tell it was cut against the grain, just as it should be. I ordered the pho with beef bone, and the flavor was outstanding. I couldn't believe the size of the bones they provided. Each piece had so much meat on them. The rich, savory broth reminded me of the pho I grew up eating. Bonus points for how hot the broth stayed--even my last bite was steaming, unlike other places where it turns lukewarm after 10 minutes. That said, the noodles were slightly overcooked for my liking, even when first served. Still, everything else made up for it. The ambiance was warm and inviting, like any good pho spot should be. I'll definitely be coming back and would recommend it to anyone craving authentic pho in the area. read more

Authentic Vietnamese restaurants are scarce in La Habra/Whittier/Hacienda Heights/Brea, so I'm glad Pho 45 is an option without having to drive to Garden Grove or San Gabriel. The pho is flavorful, and the portions are generous for $15, which seems to be the standard price nowadays. The pho dac biet had a hearty amount of meat--so much that I struggled to finish it, and I usually have a big appetite. Overall, this is my go-to spot in the area for good pho. read more

my bf and i were looking for a pho place we give this one a try and it was good the first time the meat would cook with the broth we don't eat there, we do take out, now is been like 2-3 time that we order for to go and the meat doesn't cook fully anymore with the broth i put it in the microwave so it could fully cook the meat that didn't work i burn myself and the meat was still raw not sure maybe the cut is to thick or they have the meet to frozen that it doesn't cook fully my bf and i loved it because it is good the only issue is the meat, being hungry and wait for it to cook and it doesn't cook fully that just doesn't work for me read more

Pho 45 - the meat doesn't cook with the broth after putting it in the microwave, be careful for take out people - Vietnamese Near Me - La Mirada, California

Will probably be my go to pho spot from now on, great portion sizes at a good price. Typically I'm in different towards pho broth, but this one was so flavorful even without adding any sauces. The service was good, I think it was the owner that walked around and checked on all the tables himself which was very kind. It feels very homey, which I don't get from a lot of places nowadays. 10/10 will be coming back the next time I'm craving pho. read more

Came here hoping it would be an alternative to Pho 69 as someone recommended. Boy they were wrong. Beef broth not as deep, soybean condiments skimpy, egg rolls bland and uninteresting, crispy noodle dish not generous with seafood toppings either. We drove an hour each way to give it a try and were sadly disappointed. Staff was friendly and attentive. We got seated right away. Place was packed with young families. It was too loud to hear the conversation as everyone was packed into one room. There's a recycling center that share the parking lot so if you're here for that or something else nearby, then you might give the place a try. Otherwise, there are plenty of places to try instead. read more

The best pho I ever had! All the workers are kind and efficient. Been going here forever, always good.

Best pho is Whittier! Been coming to this place for years and the food has never disappointed. Amazing food all around and love eating in here. Very big dinning area and the waiter are always friendly. If you're looking to have a nice take out of a nice dine in place this is the perfect spot. Nothing on the menu is bad and all the food and drinks are amazing. read more

Fantastic service and delicious food! Really enjoyed my pork pho with my daughter. They didn't have a table right when we walked in and we only had to wait about 2 minutes for them to clear a spot. They were very polite and apologetic even about the short wait. read more

The food was reasonably priced service was good until they served my Bún tôm nướng (Vietnamese grilled shrimp vermicelli) with piping hot noodles instead of cold noodles. I asked about it, and the server said, " Oh, you want the noodles cold?" I said, "yes, please, that's what makes it refreshing and yummy." After they brought me the correct dish, they never spoke to us again. I wasn't rude about it. I just know that the vermicelli is supposed to be cold or room temp, and that's why I like it, especially on a hot day like today. It's okay to make a mistake, but ignoring the customer when they aren't being rude or acting like a Karen is not cool. Our food was good, & it was worth returning. read more

This place is busy during lunchtime. There's a reason. Their portions here are large. Jumbo spring rolls. Big bowls of pho with the noodle and seem like endless meat. We had extra food to take home for later. The best time to go with no wait is after the lunch rush around 1.30-ish. The place was clean with excellent staff. Food came out quick. Great place for non-greasy food. Lots of parking conveniently at strip plaza. They really know their stuff. The restaurant has been there for 10+ years. They have another restaurant opened in Garden Grove. I say come on out to this food establishment. I will see you there. read more

The food is really good, customer service not so much. The servers are always rushing around but there was one particular server who was rushing so much he was spilling pho as he was placing it on our table. He wound up spilling a small bowl of hot broth on my daughter in laws lap with out so much as an apology. Instead he sat there arguing with her that she grabbed the bowl. My husband had to step in and tell him to stop arguing and go get a towel. We never had the broth replaced nor was there an apology as we were paying. read more

Wondering if there is a change in ownership. We come her for many year. The eggroll wasn't the bestest before but it was se still a crunch to it. Our recent visit this past weekend, the eggroll was tough and chewy. The pho is fine. However we ordered the filet rare meat like we always have and the meat where literally all small pieces that looks like scraps. A lot of younger kids worker here which I don't mind. They all seem to know to greet you and service you quickly. However, the floors looks a bit dirty read more

Happy to find this in the area. I'm use to pho in Westminster. So when I saw there was a pho45 close to me I had to try. Very flavorful broth. The rare meat was excellent, very tender and flavorful. I'd recommend getting the combo or just the rare steak. They do have a lot of other dishes besides pho. Restaurant is large and spacious. Servers are very attentive! read more

Good value, big portions. My whole table got the #1 and it was solid. Lots of meat portions and broth was good. Pork chop with rice dish was also pretty good. The coffee was really thick, but coffee flavor was still there. I didn't think it was anything too special but maybe it would be good spot if you're just craving solid pho. No bum bo hue (sadly). read more

Legit, authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Pho broth was perfect. Eggrolls were really good, but kinda on the smaller side and I like it with extra lettuce to wrap and extra dipping sauce. Chicken banh mi was good. And the shrimp and pork vermicelli was really good too! The staff is super friendly. The restaurant was packed, but clean. We are quickly because there was quite a wait. Excited to come back! read more

This is the most decent pho place I've had in the area, and it's very affordable. I ordered takeout, but when I picked up, I saw they have plenty of seating inside, and the space looked quite clean for a pho restaurant. I called in my order, and it was packed and ready for pick up just 15 minutes later. Their portion sizes are very generous, and I quite enjoyed this place. I would definitely come back. read more

Bombsiies hooked up with veggies and bra. Recommend we're definitely return better than sup noodle bar.

First time at their La Mirada location which is much bigger than their Garden Grove spot. Glad they also offer the wider pho noodles as well as the complimentary noodles and broth for the kids. The food is just as good as their Garden Grove location and the service is even friendlier here! Someone opened the door for us before we even made it to their entrance. Though prices are a bit higher here. Nice clean restaurant and plenty of parking in the shopping center. We will definitely be back. read more

First time dining here -- IT'S SO GOOD. It's not as salty or heavy compared to other pho places. We came across this place via Yelp and don't regret it. Waitlist was long but the workers are extremely fast and provide amazing service! Plenty of parking as well in a shared parking lot with Stater Bros and other restaurants. read more
