Every dish was impeccably prepared with exotic tastes that rivaled fusion Asian foods. From the lobster lo-mein (Chinese New Year special) to the mochi bar with lychee gelato, the flavors excited the taste buds (and make you want more of...what other dishes would taste?). Definitely worth the trip to DTSF and the service? Absolutely first class.

Young chap looking after us was friendly. Shrimps were very good. Crab fried rice excellent. Tenderloin was juicy and the crepe cake was a good way to end the meal. Green beans were also very yummy.
Neel
Service was very slow. Food was decent but overall due to service the experience was just average.
Gino
The standouts were the Bun Cha and Crab fried rice. Both were so fresh and full of flavor.

Excellent food served during dinner hours near Union Square of SF. Highlights of the menu are the Bun Cha, which was unlike any other Vietnamese dish we've tried; the Bu Luc Lac was also delicious with very nice flavors that come together incredibly well. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Bodega and would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for somewhere to eat in the city.

Bodega is my favorite restaurant in SF. The vibes inside, the staff, and the fact that every bite is a whole new experience.

I’ve been to La Bodega more than seven times, and it has never disappointed me. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is always excellent. Every visit feels just as good as the first one.
It’s one of those places you can rely on every single time. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely keep coming back.

Food was not good, doesn’t taste authentic. Way overpriced!
Server was not friendly and was black face. It was like he was doing us a favor.
The only reason the place is packed is due to Chase Reserve dining credit. There are better choices in the area otherwise!

Realy great Faux Luc Lac, especially with the spices, right proportions, and the lemon zest on top. Paired with rice the dish was incredible!

Terrible weird service ruined our dining experience. We were abruptly asked to leave after our waiter forgot about us. No chance to order drinks or dessert and no apology.
Arrived on time for our reservation and immediately ordered drinks and all apps/mains. Service was very slow and waiter ignored us, we sat at least 15 min after entrees and were only able to get dessert/drinks menus from food runners.
Our server finally shows up to tell us he lost track of time we need to leave immediately for the next reservation to sit down. We had no prior warning and had been at the table for less than 90 minutes since our arrival. We had no chance to order additional drinks or dessert after sitting around waiting for most of the time. We don’t mind slow service but please serve us so we can actually order and eat/drink before being kicked out.
Server was extremely rude and unapologetic. He offered us dessert, not as an apology but rather for us to pay full price and take it to go. We declined the $16 to go dessert to eat out in the rain in the tenderloin. The food was good but the insulting and weird ending made us never want to return. Food runners were lovely and tried to save it but our server was determined to treat us like dirt. Can’t come back to a place like this.
