Modern Vietnamese cuisine with unique cocktails and tasting menu
"By the time the fog rolled in thick on day two, all I wanted was something warm and comforting, and the beef chimichurri pho dip—a mash-up of banh mi and pho—somehow just worked: thin slices of tender beef, bright pickled vegetables, and a tangy swipe of chimichurri tucked into a crusty-yet-soft baguette, best dunked into the aromatic pho broth until it soaked just enough to drip down my wrist; a savory hug that took the edge off the fog’s chill." - Paolo Bicchieri
"At Bodega SF, Northern Vietnamese dishes are amped up with fun twists—you’ll see little mounds of caviar atop bánh khọt, truffle butter in the shaking beef, and yuzu coconut foam atop oysters on the half shell. This fancy spot in Union Square, decked out with funky geometric lights and a full bar, is a special occasion restaurant disguised as a nước chấm-drenched dinner party. The best way to do a night here is to pile into a leather booth with six or seven of your favorite people and get the family-style $90-per-person tasting menu, a seemingly never-ending parade of their greatest hits. When you’re done, wander downstairs to their moody sister bar The Felix and keep the night going." - team infatuation
"A night at Bodega SF is full of surprises—the good kind, unlike accidentally sitting on a melted Ghirardelli chocolate square on the cable car. At this swanky Northern Vietnamese restaurant, savory turmeric pancakes are punched up with caviar, papaya salad is topped with crumbled beef jerky, and cocktails are infused with pandan and yuzu. After a long afternoon of doing Union Square things, like taking family photos by the Christmas tree or shopping, a meal while seated in a cushy leather booth is the perfect cap to the day.

"Proclaiming our love for Bodega SF in Union Square is easy—this place serves fantastic Northern Vietnamese dishes that are punched up with unexpected surprises, like a shaking beef with truffle butter and crispy bánh khọt crowned with caviar. They won’t have such luxury ingredients at the festival, but we’re equally excited about the bún chả sliders and chicken broth. Bookmark the soup for when Karl starts to roll in as a guest performer.
