Restaurants San Francisco - Bodega Bistro (recommendable)

This is a simple, perhaps some would even call it kitschy place, but great Vietnamese food! So ignore the scooter that is standing in the restaurant as decor and enjoy the food!

We tried the following dishes NOM (finely shredded papaya topped with tender beef and coarsely grounded peanuts with a tangy sauce), Cha Gio (crispy vietnamese egg rolls filled with crab meat, hicama and wood ear mushrooms), Goi Cuon (pork and shrimp wrapped in summer spring roll), Pho Ga (chicken in rice noodle soup), Bun Cha Handi (marinated pork served with vermicelli, salad wrap and a delicious sauce) and Bo Luc Lac (filet mignon marinated with garlic, pepper and a special seasoning sauce.

My two favourite dishes here was the Bo Luc Lac and the Bun Cha Handi.

Again the value for money is good - we paid around 20 USD per person.
