My partner just moved to Petaluma, and we love good pho more than just about anything, so we were SO excited to discover this place! Very flavorful broth, tender meats, beautiful decor, and quick, kind, attentive service. Our waiter even noticed be trying and failing to Shazam a song playing over the radio and came up and told me the artist and the name of the song. If that’s not great service, I don’t know what is!

I’ve always enjoyed Simmer. But this evening, I had such great customer service and food that I had to post a review. The restaurant is full of customers (which is always a good sign) but it’s still serene. All of the portions are huge, delicious, and well worth the price.

Soooo good! We don’t dine here often enough especially considering it’s one of our favorite restaurants IN THE WORLD!!! (…and for context, we do dine all over the world, are food and travel writers, food and drink tour guides, and international food and drink judges.)
The quality of the meat is amazing especially considering the prices (some of the best filet anywhere), the food is always quick and delicious, and the staff is great. I wish they had a nicer location and more comfortable seats, but they are still easily in our Top 10 list of favorite and realistically are probably in our TOP 5.
(Sorry but our Mains photos aren’t great because we already started devouring the food.)

What a treat to have Simmer in town! Their food is excellent and so is their staff! Seriously I’ll fan girl all day for all of their locations! I think it really speaks volumes to how they operate their business! Thank you so much!

By chance, the restaurant was right across from where we parked. It was clearly a popular spot, with people still enjoying lunch well past noon. We went for the chicken curry and prawn fried rice – both were piping hot, flavorful, and satisfying! The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes next time!

Portions are decent in size and very tasty. We had lemongrass chicken and lemongrass tofu. They were both very good. I liked the fresh greens that they came with. Essentially, a salad with your meal. The bill included tip suggestions, which is normal, but they were based on the cost after tax, which is not ok.

I love simmer! They have great egg rolls and amazing noodles. Overall I would suggest the spring roll as the sauce pairs so good with it! The food always comes fast and they’re always happy to bring you anything you need like even a ladle!

Nice local restaurant with tasty, well presented dishes. Very friendly and fast wait staff. Good selection of draft beers but limited choices of wine. Good sized portions but not overwhelming.
