Amazing shareable asian-fusion food and drinks with friendly service.
Knocking off a star because the tables are terrible - they're finished with polyurethane that didn't cure correctly, so they're all sticky-feeling and extremely unpleasant to touch and difficult to slide plates and cups on. Please refinish or replace your tables!

Used to be one of my favorite places. Unfortunately, I won’t be going back. Manager left early for the night, chef wanted to close the kitchen early because it was a slow night, so we were pressured to pick our food so quickly, and when we asked for extra crackers for the cheese, they would not give us. It’s not the customers’ fault if the restaurant is having a slow night, we are paying to eat and enjoy our evening, not to be treated poorly. The waitress was kind enough but could not do anything because she had no authority apparently.

Second visit to Brighton Bodega, and we really enjoyed it again. By the name, you wouldn't think it has an Asian bent to it, and I kept thinking there would be tacos, but alas no. Chrysanthemum Caear salad isn't for everyone. Appreciate the creativity, and I liked it, but the greens will throw off most people, especially if you like Caesars. The steamed bun sandwiches are really tasty. Nashville chicken has a good kick. The double patty smash burger was presented so well, and my son enjoyed it. Their French fries are killer. My husband had the crispy chicken fried rice which was a generous portion. Very tasty! Shrimp chips are an odd addition. I had the duck lettuce wraps which were good, but not your traditional lettuce wraps. Needed real lettuce cups to scoop the mixture. The duck was just a titch salty. My Fire Flower tequila cocktail was really tasty and spicy! All in all, I would go back regularly to this fun bodega! Be warned, really hard to find parking in the area!
Vegetarian options: Chili oil noodles with vegetables. Brussel sprout. Caesar salad.
Very cramped ( small ) dark its not Brighton Center ? Ugly the “Bodega” cheesy . Good was decent ,hostess rude or to busy in her phone ? Price Average . It’s a place you would walk by in touristy area n get decent food n go. Not appealing, not place for date or 1 on 1 .
Parking: Search you will find before 6 not far from bar !

Best restaurant in Boston. Fusion food with a menu that varies frequently, with really good quality ingredients. Tried the spicy vegetable noodles and a cauliflower dish that were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is nice but not pretentious and service is very good. Best oysters you can find around here. Has been my go to restaurant since I moved from Philly (and this is one of the few spots that holds up the reputation)!
Vegetarian options: Absolutely delicious options. I was skeptical to try but the cauliflower dish and the noodles made my day!

I had an amazing dinner at Bodega Brighton this past Saturday night. We started with the Campari tomato, local burrata, and an artisan cheese charcuterie board, which were all beautifully prepared and exceeded my expectations. Each dish was fresh and flavorful, perfectly complemented by a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. The experience was top-notch, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining spot!

I always have a great time at Brighton Bodega. It's my go-to place. I love that they change their menus every few months and it never disappoints. Very delicious food every time.
The whole experience was amazing, I can't say enough great things. Our server Ann was outstanding, the food sharings were all so unique and delicious, and the outdoor dining area is just beautiful. We felt so welcome and will definitely make a point to go back, especially given the menu changes every day! 10/10

Food is great! The steam buns are 10/10, my favorite is the Korean Friend Cauliflower Buns. The Mussels were also incredible.

Solid local spot. Always adding new things to the menu. The food is always good and the desserts are always great. Serves and also friendly and knowledgeable. Grea spot for a first date or just grabbing some food and a drink after a long day at work. Def a place to check out if you're a local. 4/5
