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.

    Che Fico is one of my favorite restaurants in SF. The service is always amazing and friendly and the food is amazing. Definitely best to go with people you can share with so you can try a variety of their offerings. Their focaccia, house cured meats, and the tritata salada are some of the highlights. You can't go wrong with their pizzas and pastas either.

    I was so excited to make a dinner reservation at Dalida because I had watched Top Chef, and I wanted to support Chef Laura! My boyfriend and I celebrated his birthday there and Alta really took care of us. We got the chef’s menu, which we thought was such great value! They don’t really tell you what you’re going to get, until it has arrived at your table. It was really fun to keep trying every delicious surprise! All the food was very tasty and beautiful. I loved the stuffed mussels and the bread with assorted dips, in particular. We also got a few drinks, I got the Yogi Bear (NA) and my boyfriend got the Horse Warrior. Both were delicious and we were very pleased at how quickly the bar turned out our drinks. At the end, of course, they brought us a complimentary birthday dessert with a candle on it, in addition to the 2 desserts included in the Chef’s menu! Needless to say, we were stuffed. The ambiance was great, the room was well put together, and the service was all very attentive! 10/10 would recommend, for sure!

    Freddy our chef was amazing. Our wait staff at the grill provided great service. Drinks at the bar before getting seated took a very long time to get served. You need more than one person working there.
