Dish on Dining: Bong Su

By Cooking with the Single Guy   Jan 31, 2008

My friend Margaret from Hawaii was in town this week for some business meetings, so we got together for dinner on Tuesday. I decided to pick a place within walking distance of her SOMA hotel, so I made reservations at Bong Su, the upscale Vietnamese restaurant by the same people behind the popular Tamarine in Palo Alto. Joining us was Margaret?s mother-in-law,... FULL REVIEW

I went to this Vietnamese "Restaurant and Lounge" for lunch and probably missed all of the night club aspects since it, you know, wasn't at night. FULL REVIEW

Dinner at Bong Su

By See Us Eat   Sep 08, 2007

We had a big dinner with both Alexis and Giao's families at Bong Su, a high-end Vietnamese place near our house. The food was really delicious and with so many people, we ordered quite a few things, not all of which are shown below, since we didn't eat them. Including alcohol, tax and tip, this meal came to about $50 per person, which was really quite a good deal considering everyone left stuffed and happy. Duck Mustard Wraps $9 Succulent pieces of duck wrapped in tender mustard greens. This is an innovative and delicious way to start the meal. Kampachi Sashimi $13 An order of this actually comes with 5 pieces, but people dug into... FULL REVIEW

Dinner at Bong Su

By See Us Eat   Sep 28, 2006

Giao had been to Bong Su once before, but Alexis had not been there yet. It was very good, better than Slanted Door, the go-to high end Vietnamese place in SF. Much better. The decor was beautiful, elegant, yet casual. The staff was friendly and the bathrooms smelled good. What more could you ask for. FULL REVIEW

Zip, Zap, Bong Su *

By Give Me Some Food   Sep 20, 2006

Felix has been working incredibly hard for the last two weeks. In fact, the reason that I'm writing this post right now is because he isn't home yet. So last Saturday, when we got to have a date- I wanted to take him out to one of his favorite kinds of food: Vietnamese. FULL REVIEW

Lunch at Bong Su

By See Us Eat   Aug 15, 2006

When we say the build out starting for Bong Su, we were interested, since it was replacing the dreadful Mel's. It opened up about two and half months ago, and Giao had a chance to go. During the morning it is very hard to tell it was open because of the window decoration, but when you went in, it was opulently, if a bit fakely, decorated. For dinners, I would imagine that light would identify it better as being open. FULL REVIEW

Bong Su

San Francisco continues to generate restaurants featuring higher-end interpretations of otherwise inexpensive ethnic cuisines—Mamacita is a far cry from the Tamale Lady, Shanghai 1930 and Shanghai Restaurant are two very different animals, Prana is opening soon and DOSA is, well, we don't have any other South Indian joints in the city yet, so DOSA stands alone. When Slanted Door first opened many moons ago on Valencia Street, I don't think many folks would have believed it would morph into the iconic San Franciscan culinary destination/ever-growing empire it is now.
