| - Simi's cafe is one of those restaurants that you get pleasantly surprised right when you open the door. On the outside, it's nothing special, dark windows that make you wonder what the hell you are getting yourself into and then you enter, you find a cozy, nicely decorated, and spacious cafe with a sophisticated ambience. Not to mention, how clean it is! You rarely find a pho restaurant that doesn't smell somewhat bad but this place didn't smell at all.
My husband and I went for lunch on a Saturday and despite how busy they were, the service was EXCELLENT and the pho was delicious. Their noodles were properly cooked and not undercooked like many of the places I've been to in AZ and their broth was rich and clean. Also, because I am a fan of small details that restaurants invest in, I have to mention this: they use light steel bowls as opposed to the white plastic bowls the other places use, which keeps the broth warm longer and is just better!
Looks like we found our go-to place that's closer to us. We didn't get her name but the waitress was so well spoken and courteous, I felt like we were at a 5-star restaurant. With that being said, most appropriately, I am giving Simi's Cafe 5 stars.
