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.

You know that place that is so good, so consistently, that you hesitate to give it a rave review because it might make it harder to get a table in the future? Well, Bodega is just that kind of restaurant. Authentic cuisine, frequently updated menu and specials, and fantastic service (and wine list). Very many thumbs up!

Excellent French food. The “little bites” are a great way to get started. The appetizers and mains were also excellent. Also quite vegetarian friendly.
