Bodega SF

Matthew Ho’s Bodega SF is the latest iteration of a family tradition—from 2003 to 2017, his family’s Bodega Bistro was a destination for Northern Vietnamese food in the Tenderloin. Ho carried the torch with Bodega pop-ups in 2019 and meal kits during the pandemic, leading to the opening of Bodega SF. The space, with intimate booths and communal high-top tables, is well suited to a variety of experiences, from tucking into pho at lunchtime or feasting on Oysters with Yuzu Coconut Foam and turmeric-and-dill-laced Cha Ca prepared with Whole Branzino at dinner. The menu, which balances traditional Northern Vietnamese dishes with some California-inspired interpretations, showcases local producers and goes well with a cocktail.
