Reviews for Pho 45 in Lakeville, MN
The fantastic owner and staff creates the best vietnamese food in the twin cities, hands down. Excellent service a new location.... She had to move from her Burnsville location because the owners of the grocery store (from where she was operating) wanted tocapitalize on her success. This atmosphere is 100x where she was prior. and the food remains the best. and she opens at 10am! Read more

I came by to get some pho and I waited for an inordinate amount of time. It seems that they don?t even have people at the... register ringing people up or taking orders. They?re more focused on phone orders and customers who buy groceries, so I justbought a ready made item which was not properly labeled nor did it have a price on it. Cashier insisted I pay in cash.

Man this place was jam packed on a Wednesday and for good reason too. The name of this place shouldn't be Pho 45 no no. It... should be Pho *Consistent* 45. Their food is always 100%. No matter what we order, the food is always absolutely fantastic. Thepho, the chicken wings, the Korean BBQ khalbi, the grilled steak, everything is delectable. Read more
We tried this with chicken curry and rice platter with Korean beef via door dash and we're convinced that we should give this... one a try in person. The experience exceeded our expectations. Easy parking, clean restroom and store, fresh produce, friendlyand polite staff. We ordered rice platter with Korean beef, seafood soup, and Hue style beef noodle soup You can already tellhow good the rice platter is as we got it the second time. Flavor and tenderness were spot on. The seafood soup was good butunderwhelmed in compassion with others. Fairly speaking, the waiter knew that I was Vietnamese and the soup would not end well.He did warn me twice and confirmed it the 3rd time ???? (he really wanted to make sure that I didn't order it by mistake????) Iactually knew it too but my American friend wanted to give it a try. The Hue style noodle soup was splendid! I'd say it's thebest in town as it's the only location I've known that serves this dish with pork leg and blood pudding, 2 signatureingredients. Though you probably need to ask for them as for which you need an acquired taste. When they brought me one withoutthe 2, they immediately corrected it without any further Ado; which was greatly appreciated ???? The blood pudding was doneright both texture and flavor. The pork leg was huge even bigger than one I had in Jacksonville FL. The skin was well cleaned.Tendon was tender. The bone still had its marrow. They were generous with lemon grass and green onion. The veggie dish was freshand decent. We ended with iced milk coffee, sweet soup, and fermented riceballs. The coffee was good though underwhelmedcompared to the other locations. Sweet soup had the right flavor but was a bit too sweet for me. The fermented riceballs had anice flavor but I'd prefer it to be different softer. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the experience. I was totallysold for that Bun Bo Hue. I'd rate it 7* if I could. Great service! Highly recommended for everyone one **** Up Read more
They have some dishes that other Vietnamese restaurants around do not have yet on the menu. The taste is good, but not too... delicious or special for me. The food was cold whem I eat, it should have been heated up. Read more
Excellent Vietnamese food and customer service. I was so pleased to meet the owner, Ngoc, and a few of her family. The staff is... attentive and happy to explain the menu to me, offering suggestions. I ordered the Rice Vermicelli Bowl #4. It is beautifullyserved with grilled pork, shrimp, freshly shredded carrots, bean sprouts, zucchini, and a giant fried egg roll. The egg roll ishomemade here as well as everything else - it is prepared to perfection. It is served with a fish sauce. It is called Nuoc Chamand has a lovely taste (better than I expected!). As well they offer a wide selection of Asian Cuisine menu options. Manypatrons were dining, and others were picking up their orders. They have a very active take-out service. I?d say that it is anideal restaurant to take the family to. They serve soft drinks, including diet and Vietnamese coffee. There are many freshorchids decorating the place and a fantastic painted wall mural. Parking is ample. It?s located just to the right if you are inthe parking lot facing Carbone?s Pizza. There are no steps to enter, so it has handicapped access. Restrooms are provided. Theymoved to this Lakeville location on November 4th from Burnsville. I highly recommend it! Read more
