    Front of Pho 45

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Checked into this location, I've been here a couple of times and the staff is friendly, helpful, the ambiance is nice. I've tried a few dishes and they were all good. My waiter Bryan was more than willing to help with any questions I had. I would certainly recommend this location for quality food, good customer service, and good sitting space.

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.

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.

The last 3 times they've at least attempted to rectify their mistake... meaning we had to make a 2nd trip to pick-up whatever it was they forgot. So we took a break... sad because we always enjoy the food. Foolishly, we decided to try again... and again they messed up our order... this time they didn't put chicken on our pasta. It seems whoever took the order didn't write it down... wish I could say this was a big surprise! So we were fully willing to pay the difference and make the 2nd trip once again. But because it was near closing that was not made an option... just a sorry and goodbye. So now... after 6pm on Sunday, we are thinking of what 2nd meal we will have to purchase and pick up.... because this plain pasta is just not going to feed the 2 of us. We have so few options already in Montebello and we always prefer to support local small businesses.... but REALLY??? How do you consistently get it wrong???

For sub I ordered THE 58 CLASSIC and as sides I had their Garlic Pesto Potato Salad and Purple Cabbage. Both good but very garlic centered, I love garlic so I don't mind but maybe next time I'll get something else to balance it better. Service was good. They greeted and answered any questions I had and offered their advice or recommendations when I asked for some.
