"Bodega SF takes northern Vietnamese dishes and amps them up with fun twists—there’s caviar on bánh khọt, and yuzu coconut foam atop oysters. But one classic they’ve kept, well, classic, is the phở. At dinner, it’s only available on their $90 tasting menu (miniature bowls of phở round out the multi-course extravaganza). If you come for lunch, you can order the phở a la carte, each with slippery tangles of noodles in chicken or beef bone broth. There’s also a vegan option with mushrooms, tofu, and bok choy." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
