Located in the Safeway Shopping Center, Simmer is a bustling Vietnamese eatery specializing in pho made in-house daily. This traditional soup is made with beef, chicken, or vegetable broth, plus bold spices like anise, cloves, cinnamon, fennel seeds, shallots, and grilled ginger root. Each bowl is customizable with an array of proteins and fresh toppings to choose from. Plant-based diners will also love the salads, towering spring rolls, and the crispy lemongrass tofu with vermicelli. Tasty dips and sauces like umami soy, smooth peanut, and tangy sweet and sour finish off each dish, and they’re all freshly mixed from original recipes.

Restaurateur Sonny Le is focused on offering affordable dining options full of high quality ingredients and diverse flavor combinations. The dishes include lots of fresh ingredients, avoidance of heavy oils, use of herbs and vegetables for flavoring, and complementary textures. There are also several gluten-free and vegetarian options throughout the menu.
