It's never a bad time for pho but as the colder days approach, I decided to treat myself to Simmer before tonight's graveyard shift. I walked in at 4:30 PM when they reopened and was seated immediately. The server brought me a cup of water and a menu but I already knew what I wanted and ordered the P10 Chicken Pho soup and the salt and pepper chicken wings. The food was brought out within 10 minutes piping hot and everything was delicious. read more

Had a great dinner width excellent service tonight. Sarah was friendly and the food came up quick. I had the bbq pork spring rolls to start. A little chili oil in the peanut sauce was amazing on those! I would consider making those my main next time and being another appetizer to enjoy. As it was, I had the cabbage salad with lemongrass chicken. So much food and such intense flavor! I took half my food home (including more chili oil in the peanut sauce) to enjoy later. I'll be back for sure! Oh, and the decor made me chuckle and I had to take a pic for friends. read more

I brought my mom and sister here for dinner during a trip to Graton Casino. The restaurant is very cute and spacious. Parking is ample. Service was speedy and friendly. We started off with the fried calamari. I would give it 3 1/2 stars. It was crispy, but chewy... maybe overcooked. We did family style entrees to share. I like they included a big portion of green salad on the plate. We enjoyed the yellow curry chicken and garlic noodles with no cheese. I love the lemongrass spicy beef. It was bold and full of flavor with tender beef. The ginger chicken was tasty. We had a wonderful dining experience. We will return again. FYI - Simmer is located less than 10 minutes away from Graton. It's the next exit. I would dine here instead of paying for overpriced food at the casino... just saying.... LOL... support your local business... read more

They are really honest about the mistakes that they made, their food is also pretty good. It is a pretty good place for visitors to enjoy a good meal. read more

Was craving Vietnamese food and this place definitely did the job. Food is very good and Thai tea was point on. This place is considerable expensive, but honestly pricing is just going up and as long as the food tastes well then I'm okay with paying. I do wish it came with more pork. Service was great and came when needed. It was very peaceful and quiet inside the restaurant. I would come back, but maybe order Togo. read more

Love the bowls and they are ample. Bring your appetite. I started with the spring rolls with peanut sauce. These are large, definitely for sharing. The peanut sauce is a bit too sweet for me, though it worked with the rolls. Then I got the lemongrass chicken with vermicelli rice noodles. The chicken was flavorful, tender and mixed with the noodles well. (Forgot to take a picture) There visit a nice mix of cabbage, too. A great lunch spot. read more

We were in the area and decided to try a random place. The reviews here were pretty good so we thought we would try. I went with two friends. All three of us had very different dishes, and all three of us really enjoyed it. The curry was mild. I don't know if I could've got it hotter but I added chili sauce and it was HOT My friends enjoyed their dishes and we all took home extras Service was good I felt a little crowded the way the tables were set so everyone knew everyone else's conversations Otherwise nice dining experience read more

Love the vegan Pho and of course I can eat the Fresh SPring rolls forever I actually met the owners, they know what they are doing. Nice couple. They own several businesses. read more

Massive quantities of amazing food!! Such a great place, I really wish we had one of these near my home. The petite server gal with dark eyeliner was so kind, so professional and so responsive. She will be absolutely successful in life. The other servers were also pretty nice and the food is just PHO-nomenal. THE place to go anywhere near Rohnert Park. read more

The service was good. Everyone who helped us was super nice. We ordered the garlic noodles with bbq pork and springs rolls with bbq pork. The food was somewhere between ok and good. The noodles were kind of bland and didnt get any garlic flavor. Biggest complaint was the meat. Bbq pork had good flavor but there was barely any in both the garlic noodles and the spring roll. The spring rolls were between 90-95% veggies. In the garlic noodles there was maybe 2oz of meat, but alot of noodles. The ratio is way off and pretty expensive for the amount of meat. Even though we are located in Rohnert park, would rather go to What's the pho in santa rosa. Wouldnt go back here. read more

I initially visited the restaurant as I was in the shopping center, assisting a friend with errands. Limited vegan options however, I have now taken a few friends to Simmer as I am crazy for the lemongrass ginger sesame tofu noodle dish. Originally tried the lemongrass ginger sesame tofu appetizer then learned of the entree. Fantastic. My friend, and I drive to Rohnert Park from San Anselmo to dine here. read more

Came here to try the viral short rib pho that I saw on IG and It did not disappoint! Meat fell off the bone, broth was flavorful. First time I tried it I did the pho noodles but didn't care for it, next time I added veggies and did rice noodles and it was 12/10!! Even better the next day as leftovers. Their apps were great too. Had the beef wrapped green onion and potstickers. Great place. read more

Simmer - Short rib Pho with veggies added. - Vietnamese Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

Went the other day for the first time. The employees were kind of out of it. But other than that the food was great! Huge portions. I ordered the Beef Pho Combination with the short rib pho and combined them. The short rib was cooked perfectly. Fell right off the bone. Also ordered the cream cheese crab puffs as an appetizer. Lots of cream cheese, can't really identify the crab, it may be real or imitation. But you cannot tell.. or taste it either way. More of a deep fried cream cheese ball. Still tasted good! All the food was good, just wish the employees were more attentive. Water glasses were empty on the table the whole time we were eating. The staff maybe walked by 10+ times and the glasses were sitting on the edge of the table in plain view. That's the only complaint though. The food is what we came for. We weren't expecting service to be that great! read more

Simmer - Beef P7. Steak, Tendon, Brisket, meatballs Pho Lunch - Vietnamese Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

OMG - what a lucky find! The place is big and you won't smell like food! Employees were friendly and prompt! I was "hangry" so I opted to get the BBQ Beef Short Ribs rice plate. I was so hungry and we were so tight with time that my friends and I just ate our food once we got them. And they were fast. The portions were gigantic! It was kinda bad that I ate that rice plate that fast but it was so good - well worth it. My friends loved their food too. One got pho and again, both enjoyed it. Well worth checking out if you're hungry and craving for a good Vietnamese restaurant! read more

Simmer has been back in my good graces. Portions are much more consistent, but not always. I wish they would NOT pack to-go pho in plastic containers. Please or please change to paper! read more

Simmer - Crispy Lemon grass tofu - Vietnamese Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

Ordered via Doordash so this review is specifically food related. For the cost, I personally don't think you're getting your worth. I didn't take as many photos as I should've and I apologize because it would help people understand why I say that. Combination Pho (Lunch) ($15) with extra tendon ($3 added as it comes with as well) The soup was fine. They forgot the meatballs. The amount of meat otherwise was 4 small cuts of brisket (the size of two thumbs), 3 THIN (could compete with bacon in thinness) index finger length tendon pieces total, a good amount of tripe cut up. I'm still hungry and normally I'm able to split my pho in half still feeling full. Grilled short ribs ($20) with extra ribs ($5 added) The amount of meat is honestly laughable. 2 Small short ribs for the bowl itself and an additional 2 for the extra (see pic for reference). Absolutely will not be ordering again or going in person. This is what happens when you cheat on your regular place. I have a review for my regular place that costs the same but gives more. read more

Simmer - $5 extra side of beef rib - Vietnamese Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

One of the better pho places around. Large portions that I could take home. Soup didn't need the extra sauces (hoisin, sriracha) as it was flavorful by itself. A bit pricier than other pho places but worth it. Nice servers. Nice atmosphere. read more

Simmer - Lemongrass chicken vermicelli with an egg roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

Read some reviews and decided to stop in and try this place. Super glad I did! The atmosphere was great - the lights were turned down a little bit and nice decor. It was also busy which is a good sign. My waitress was super friendly, and I let her choose the beer for me. She chose asian brothers Vietnamese IPA that complemented my meal perfectly. My meal? Oh yeah, it was filet mignon Pho! Say what!? Yeah, filet mignon Pho! So nice, I had to say it twice! The bowl was piping hot with layers of flavors and fresh tasting ingredients. Everything was perfectly cooked as well. I come to this area about once a month, and I will definitely return. Check it out for yourself! They also had some thing I've never tried before: an appetizer that was thin strips of steak wrapped around onions and grilled. Absolutely delicious. read more

My favorite is the combo fried rice! It's always full of flavor and the combination of meats. Chicken and fish is perfect for me.

Simmer has been a go-to restaurant for me since the location is perfect for meeting my friends or family from another town! I've had the Cabbage Salad with Grilled Shrimp, Curry Chicken and Chicken Pho Noodles, and all were absolutely delicious! They are so friendly and attentive to the customers, have outdoor seating, and the prices are hard to beat! read more

Simmer - Vietnamese Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

If I could give his place a zero star based on it's customer service I would. Waited for 3 mins- while staff based me by several times and ignored me. Then an older Asian woman walks in and they greet her and seat her immediately. I walk up to them tell them I have been waiting and I'm asked my name. I say I've waiting to be seated, and now the only available spot is the bar stool. Which is not what I want after a 12 hour long work shift. No apology or acknowledgment for their mistaken. Extremely disappointing since I've come to this establishment many times before. Won't return read more

Simmer has apparently gained recognition from San Francisco Chronicle as a top Vietnamese restaurant in the North Bay in 2013. We stopped in to try a few dishes during their weekday lunch rush. Ordered the spring rolls with pork and shrimp ($12.50), salt & pepper chicken wings ($8), Cabbage salad with lemongrass chicken ($16), Cabbage salad with grilled prawns, and a Pork Vermicelli bowl. All the dishes were nicely made and flavorful. Tasted pretty authentic to me, and my friends. We'll be coming back the next time we're in the area. This is 1 of 2 locations they have (Rohnert Park and Petaluma). This spot is nestled a Safeway grocery shopping plaza with plenty of parking. read more

I finally ordered the garlic noodles that everyone raves about. .... I just don't get it. They are just literally noodles with a bit of garlic flavor. I found them to be quite disappointing and will never order them again. In fact the meatballs I ordered as an appetizer were a let down as well. Good luck for this business. I and anyone I know will not ever be patronizing this buried again! read more

Really great food and atmosphere! I got the tofu curry with vermicelli, and it was a great price for how delicious it was and for how big the portions were. Also recommend the lemongrass crispy tofu (recommended by our server); amazing crunch and flavor on the tofu.
