• Vietnamese • Financial District / Embarcadero
Booked 25 times today
Bodega SF is an evolution of Matthew Ho’s family's restaurant, Bodega Bistro, which operated from 2003-2017 out of San Francisco’s Tenderloin District, serving traditional Northern Vietnamese cuisine. The brand’s success continued as Ho organized pop-up events, eventually transitioning to meal packages throughout the pandemic to meet demand. In 2022, Ho and his partners opened Bodega SF’s brick-and-mortar location, again located in the Tenderloin District, bringing high-quality Vietnamese cuisine back to the community with a modernized, casual fine dining experience. The family-style concept allows visitors to sample its variety of authentic, creative dishes.

    We went for our anniversary dinner and opted to get the tasting menu (which was $90 per person.) It was composed of 8 dishes with a slice of pistachio nut crepe cake (which melted in our mouths!) The 8 dishes varied in flavors and was quite filling. I had to take to go container home! Service was attentive and the timing of the dishes coming out was on point. The atmosphere is lively, with pleasant decor and lighting (I could read the menu!)

    Lovely warm summer evening. We ate in a shaded part of the outdoor patio. The live music from a nearby alcove made for a nice background. The food was quite nice. We enjoyed the salmon and the ravioli.

    Note that we went before an event at ACT and were on a short timeline. The food and drinks were really quite good. To be honest, I hadn't expected a lot from a restaurant in that area, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's casual, not elevated in any way, but solid prep and served quickly. There were 3 of us and we shared the Caesar salad - which was fine, a pasta dish that had a taleggio cream, pancetta and hen of the woods mushrooms - also good, though very small, and the salsiccia pizza which was superb - I didn't even get mad about the broccoli that was on it, though I generally am unequivocally opposed to it. I had a Lemoncello spritzer that was outstanding, and a glass of wine. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable about the food, and had opinions on wines, all of which I really appreciate. I think this is a great choice when attending an ACT production! ONE IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW - The restaurant validates parking for 3 hours, but if you stay longer than that, you will pay the full-rate, all-day parking price of $38. That was not a pleasant surprise.
