Grit and Grub in San Francisco's Tenderloin

From down-and-out to up-and-coming— the city’s next Mission District.

Had a food/beer combo near epiphany last night. At Jimmy’s suggestion tried the newly offered Chimay Red Ale with nom(papaya salad). Come to think of it, it also went really well with the pancake and prawns. I may be...

Finally got around to trying Bodega Bistro. We had papaya salad (best I’ve ever had), spring rolls, pork bun, fried mushroom and crab rolls served like bun, pad thai, the “pancake” (similar to Slanted...

After grabbing a banh mi today, I noticed a newish Vietnamese restaurant on Larkin near Eddy called Bodega Bistro. What caught my eye was the elaborate food photo shoot being set up in the front window. Has anyone tried it? Bodega...

After reading the recent posts and having a disappointing lunch at Mangosteen next door, I talked some non-hounds (charming but not terribly adventurous friends) into dinner at Bodega Bistro this weekend. We shared: -green papaya...

a lot about and was eager to try is Bodega Bistro, in the Little Saigon enclave of San Francisco’s tenderloin (the Vietnamese influx adding some family stability to this traditionally seedy neighborhood). There are some...

I posted last week looking for a Vietnamese restaurant near the Civic Center for a quick dinner, and got responses on Bodega Bistro and Mangosteen. We walked past both, and decided on Bodega Bistro. The warm interior was more...

I’m going to Bodega Bistro for dinner soon, and couldn’t find much discussion of it in the archives. What do they do best? Is everything excellent, or are there specific don’t-miss dishes that are well above the...
