Impressed by my first visit and will be back, especially to the patio. Service was attentive and the food imaginative and delicious. An outstanding option in Brighton.

We have been to the Bodega a few times in the past and I am happy to report it is still a great place! It was nice out, so we sat outside which is nice because it is a lot less noisy. The food was awesome, service was great, we will go there again for sure.

Food was amazing overall, we were a party of 10 and everything came out in a timely manner. Had a request for 2 birthday celebrations and it was great. To top it off, our server was amazing!
Patrice
The food here is inspired, and perfectly executed. Everything was so fresh! The only thing better than the food was the service, Roisin was the best server, and made our night. We drove an hour to check this place out, and can't wait to go again!!

We knew nothing about this restaurant going in and it was a pleasant surprise. Really unique small plate menu. Everything we tried was delicious. Service was great. Pro tip - sit at the counter by the open kitchen so you can scope out the best looking dishes before you order.

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!
