Hidden gem in a strip mall with easy parking. Service was great and food came out fast. Menu had a wide range of spring rolls, egg rolls and appetizers along with pho and standard rice dishes. The Chinese noodles were a bonus on on the menu with chow fun, birds nest and other specialties! Don't miss out on the fried calamari -- we would have bought two of those but ended up too full. The Vietnamese coffee was right on as well. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Ambiance was good with a big TV so you can stay entertained. Enjoy! read more

This place was so good!!! I didn't expect such good pho from a more modern looking restaurant ambiance, but Simmer did not disappoint. My boyfriend tried pho for the first time and he really enjoyed it as well. The service is phenomenal here. We're definitely coming back. read more

We had a wonderful lunch at Simmer. The food was delicious, the portions were ample and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. Couldn't have been better! read more

Food is bomb and decently priced. A go to spot for lunch with friends. The spring rolls and egg rolls are a must.

Ordered spicy chicken curry for lunch. Flavor 10/10 full bodied, creamy, vibrant, flavorful Service: 10/10 staff is always so nice!! Protein (Chicken): 3/10 very chewy, blubbery, not the texture chicken should ever be. I'll be taking the delicious broth home and cooking my own chicken breast to add to it cause this meat was not it. read more

I have to say this is the best broth in town, hands-down in their pho. You don't even want to put Sriracha or hoisin in it. It's so good. read more

My spouse and I were craving pho but I was hesitant to try Simmer because it didn't have a "traditional" Vietnamese name. I did a Google search and learned Vietnamese brothers started the chain. We are glad we tried it because the pho was delicious as well as the spring rolls. I would have rated the pho 4 stars, but the service at this location was outstanding which deserved a 5 star rating. Very friendly and attentive servers. read more

Great customer service, and the restaurant was very clean. The pho broth was tasty! I ordered the rare steak pho, and the meat was tender with plenty of it in the bowl. I also tried the BBQ pork fried rice, it was a little on the sweeter side, but still really yummy. I will definitely be back! read more

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

Great food and great portions. Located in shopping center with tons of parking. My favorite are the pho combo and combo meat rice dish!

Rare steak pho was delicious! Perfect for a cold night. The prices might be high ($18 Pho, $2 green tea) but such is the times. They serve curry and other items Definitely recommend this Vietnamese restaurant. 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

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

My server Vincent was very quick and nice. He was super generous and caring and had great recommendations, overall made my experience great. The rice plates are delicious. Will definitely be coming back. 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

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

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

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

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 - $8 for 5 tiny hard (and cold) potstickers. No problem here says the manager! - Vietnamese Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

We have been going to this restaurant for a while, and I always order R7 either with rice or vermicelli, So on Friday 5/22/26 I ordered the same dish and dish looked delicious but the egg whites was not cooked enough and it was not so good, so I put the whole egg on the side and I was ready to ignore that and keep eating but the pork chop was not good at all no flavor at all and I know how it supposed to taste after getting same dish every time. So, I did not want to make a big deal but if I paid for my meal, I want it to be good, so I talked to the server (very nice young lady by the way) and I told her about it and I said that I want to order something else she went inside but the manager said that they will be charging me for both dishes and we were like WTF, so we just got up paid and I asked to talk to the manager I wanted to say that I don't think was fair for me to pay for a dish knowing that my R7 was not cooked well, so the young lady came and said that the manager spoke only Spanish and he won't be able to communicate with me (well... I Latino and my first language is Spanish) so the young lady went inside and of course the (manager) made another excuse not to talk to me (What kind of manager is that) to me sounds like the manager's feelings were hurt because seems to me that he was cooking and obviously was doing a bad job. I hope there is someone to translate to the manager since according to him he does speak only Spanish. Of course we are not going back to Simmers again, but can't believe that they put the young lady in the middle of the whole thing (Not surprised apparently, they don't have good management) read more

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

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
