About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    First bad experience at Bodega, hopefully it's not reoccurring. Asked to be seated somewhere "cozy, comfortable or out of the way in a booth" for the last dinner with my friend in SF. Ended up seated in the back of the restaurant directly next to a table of 14 bros who were all yelling loudly and carrying on. We could barely hear each other talk. Not exactly the comfy/ cozy I was expecting. Server was not nice and seemed annoyed by us the entire night. My friend had recently been ill, and was observing Ramadan, so we didn't run up our typically lavish tab. But that doesn't mean we should have a bad experience right? I tried to tell myself the server wasn't mad at us- but she certainly seemed to not like us. All in all it wasn't what I know and expect from Bodega :(

    Really great dinner we selected a few different dishes to share between the group. Waiter was excellent, was able to give us hints at small adjustments to certain dishes to ensure we had enough for the table (ex. some dishes are one item, only 3 meatballs split 4 ways).

    Food was very good. The waitlist for the bar with no one there is a bit odd, but enjoyed my experience overall.

    I love my time at Bodega: the food was great, and of high quality, cocktails were original and the service was great.

    The food was really good. Service was good. Only issue is that they rush you to finish and leave. Literally every two minutes they kept coming by asking if we were done and if we need boxes. Literally a rotation of the same waiters that kept coming by and asking if we were done. Made it hard to enjoy our meals and talk.

    A solid “good not great” eatery. Would go back but there are tons of other places to go in SF, so might be a while.
