I've been coming to Simmering Pho in Morgan Hill for years, and it never disappoints. Whether I'm stopping by for a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner with the family, the quality and consistency of the food keep me coming back time and time again. The pho is exceptional--rich, aromatic broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and generous portions of fresh toppings. You can tell the ingredients are top-notch, and everything is made with care. My personal favorite is their rare beef pho, but I've also enjoyed their chicken and brisket options over the years. Each time, the broth is deep and flavorful, the meat tender and delicious. Aside from the pho, their spring rolls are always fresh and perfectly crispy. And if you want to mix things up, their rice plates and vermicelli bowls are also fantastic. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable, which is why it's such a great spot to visit regularly. The service here is friendly and efficient, even when the place is busy. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, making it perfect for both quick meals or a relaxed sit-down. I love how the staff always makes me feel welcome, recognizing me from my many visits over the years. If you're in Morgan Hill and craving authentic Vietnamese food, Simmering Pho is a must-visit!

Place is pretty solid. The pho broth is flavorful and good amount of meat and noodles. We also got fried shrimp and nem muon spring rolls. Both really good. Service was so so. One thing to be aware of is to check your bill. They added an extra appetizer and an extra beer to our bill. The lady said it was a mistake but not sure if she was being sincere. Couldn't quite understand what happened when she tried to explain why an extra appetizer and beer was added. She was nice though. But it really pissed off my husband. Just double check.

The best! Food is always fresh and tasty. Great family run business. The only thing I can complain about is that they are not on DoorDash or any of the delivery services.

Having been out of town for decades, we decided to stop by to eat. Times have changed, and there are more shops and places to eat. Simmering Pho Cafe is now on the top of my list for Vietnamese food. Everything we ordered was just delightfully delicious! From the tasty banh mi sandwich (one of the better ones I have had!) to the Summering Bang Xeo (a crisp rice flower Vietnamese pancake folded over and stuffed with bean sprouts and scallions) to a com Bo Luc Lac (shaking filet mignon with steamed rice). All were pretty simply-prepared, meaning the meals were not adulterers with excess seasonings and spices. And lastly, their Cafe Su Da (Vietnamese Iced Coffee) had the proper balance of coffee bitterness and sweetness of the condensed milk - awesome! If there was one problem, it had to be the glass of water. It was HEAVILY chlorinated (typical of restaurants in the area) and HEAVILY minted and HEAVILY lemon'd. I don't know how anyone else feels, but chlorine, lemon and mint just do not mix - stick with bottled water! I have been to many Vietnamese restaurants, albeit many of which catered to the "American" tastes, thereby changing the fundamental taste of traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Not here. For authentic Vietnamese Cuisine, I highly recommend Simmering Pho Cafe!

I love how the place is decorative and gives you Vietnam vibes. The tvs are playing street food experiences and/or the Vietnamese culture. You're immersed in the experience. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I ordered the combination pho and I always look to see if the tripe and tendons are soft and cooked just the way I like it. Some pho places have them hard and tough to eat. Not here! We had egg rolls to start and my husband orders the short ribs fried rice. Kid approved. My son had a side of white rice and egg rolls for dinner. Definitely coming back.

This is my family's favorite spot for pho and pork chops. Today I felt like pork chops for dinner, it was delicious as always. The service here is great and they make you feel welcome. I should mention that I also love the egg rolls here and the lemonade. Anytime you are craving pho, this is the spot. The ambiance is nice and cozy with all of the plants and the bamboo wall dividers.

I came here many years ago and it didn't leave a lasting impression, but several years later (today) I've decided to give them another try and I'm glad I did. I ordered the Pho Tai, Duoi Bo (beef pho with oxtail and rare beef) and it was the best pho I've had here in Morgan Hill. The broth was so flavorful. You can tell that they put pride into simmering their broth with beef bone without taking any short cuts. I also ordered the cafe su da (vietnamese iced coffee) and OMG, very strong as it should be. I had to ask for a bit more condensed milk. But nevertheless, made the way it's supposed to be made! Glad to say this will now be my go to place for Pho and Vietnamese food here in town. I'm excited that they have bahn mi on their menu as I plan to try that very soon. Hope it's as good as what I had today. The place is also well kept and the service wasn't bad either.
