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! read more

Place was pretty packed for a Monday dinner service time window. Doesn't matter because they serve the soup quick and it is delicious. I'm in the neighboring city Montebello and boy am I glad a authentic vietnamese owned establishment is in the near by area. The soup color was there, first taste test pass, meat quality checked also. Delicious authentic pho soup. You know its real when you can choose your kinds of meat in there. I went #6 beef Plenty of seating for families and small groups, they have a huge TV in there also. People eat rather quickly since its delicious. I didn't realize its another brand of the main store La Mirada, I've been there several times and that spot is very busy. I couldn't help but listening to a new customer ask for corn and a vegetable option, the definition of pho is bone broth so if you are a vegetarian this might not be the place for you. There is a chicken broth option too which I'm sure is legit. Definitely going back for more! Staff is friendly also. read more

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. read more

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.

This location is pretty big has so many tables. Super friendly customer service and they helped us right away. I got the Pho tai nam (rare steak and well done flank). The portion was really big I was not able to finish it. As for the flavor I felt like it was missing something. Usually the broth has so much flavor but for this one I had to add sauce to make it better. We also go the order of the egg rolls. They were okay not my favorite. Overall service is amazing and quick just more flavor on the pho. read more

Driving out 30 min to pick up pho at 925pm just to have them say they had last call (it says they close at 10pm) worst ever.

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 read more

Pho 45 - #6 - Noodles Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

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. read more

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! read more

I had a very disappointing experience with my to-go order from Pho 45. I called ahead because I had a shuttle to catch for an event, and the order was repeated twice over the phone to confirm it. When I arrived, I discovered that instead of the 4 sandwiches I ordered, only 1 had been prepared. Rather than apologizing or acknowledging the mistake, the employee insisted she had not taken the order incorrectly and told me I would need to wait another 15 to 20 minutes while she checked with the kitchen. At that point, I could not wait because I had planned ahead specifically by calling in the order. Mistakes happen, but the lack of accountability, apology, and customer service was extremely disappointing. My dinner plans were ruined, and I left feeling dismissed rather than helped. I hope the restaurant improves how it handles order errors and trains staff to respond with more professionalism and courtesy. The food is great by the way but the service was lacking today. And the audacity to say I was wrong and instead of making 3 more sandwiches and having a happy customer she was gonna make me wait another 15-20 min. Smh... read more

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! read more

This place is so good that I had to come back a second time. The service is incredibly fast, always clean, the food is amazing, and the shrimp/ pork spring rolls are a must-try. Honestly, everything you order here is good. Highly recommend -- don't miss out on this hidden gem. I ordered the rare steak, brisket, and tendon pho, and it was delicious, especially with the side order of onions and their sauces. Their iced coffee was also really good and paired perfectly with the meal. read 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. read more

This place has become my family's and friend's favorite pho spot. Every single item we have tried has been delicious. We came to check out the pico Rivera location since we always go to La mirada one and the food quality is consistent at both restaurants and just as delicious... We were helped by the wonderful owner.. he had so much energy and was very welcoming and made our night that much better. Excellent service and excellent food. This place has the best egg rolls I have ever tried in my life. The pho is delicious and of great quality broth and the banh mi has a yummy smoky flavor that makes you want to keep ordering. I honestly have no complaints whatsoever .. 10/10 in food quality, customer service, cleanliness , and ambience. We will always be back for more. read more

Pho 45 - Number 1 combination. - Noodles Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

This is my second visit to Pho 45 in 4 days and both experiences have been great. The business opened recently and had been on my list to visit after seeing a few videos promoting it on Tik Tok. Finding a good pho spot is tricky but I'm so happy to have given them a try! Upon arrival I was pleased to find a very clean and welcoming restaurant with a very friendly staff. Their pho tai is delicious, with generous portions of meat. I ordered a side of vegetables (broccoli, carrots, bok choy, baby corn and mushrooms) and the portions had the perfect crunch, all fresh and delicious. Their shrimp spring rolls were good as well, fresh with the perfect combination of soft and crunchy. Definitely recommend their Thai tea. Overall I've had 10/10 experiences here and look forward to visiting again. There are plenty of other dishes I'm excited to try! read more

The bright lights, outgoing staff and beautiful decor make this so inviting upon walking in! We were greeted right away and able to pick our own table. The staff is extremely attentive, we were immediately served water and brought silverware and menus. We placed our order and the wait was short for our food to arrive. We ordered the pho tai and it was absolutely delicious. The broth is rich and flavorful, the noodles cooked perfectly, and the meat super tender. We also ordered a side of veggies and not only was the portion a good size but they were cooked really nicely; still had some crunch and vibrant color. We tried shrimp spring rolls; the peanut sauce was sooooo good. To drink we got Thai tea and the sweetness was perfectly balanced. The restaurant is spacious, clean and overall a comfortable environment. The staff seem to have a team effort approach with everyone and anyone available checking in on us which was nice. In all the service was top tier, the food was delicious and generously portioned, and our experience very pleasant. Will definitely be back! read more
