Why Choose Café Bích Nga
This is a noodle-soup kitchen first. The broths are the reason regulars keep coming back, and most of the menu is built around them. If it is your first visit, these are the bowls and plates worth ordering.
Bun Bo Hue
$17.00Spicy lemongrass beef soup from the central city of Huế, with thick round rice noodles. It is the dish reviewers mention most, and a Tripadvisor regular called it the best Vietnamese food they had tasted.
Pho Dac Biet
$18.00The house special phở with a mix of beef cuts. Reviews single out the broth as rich and layered, which is what separates a good bowl of phở from an average one.
Bun Rieu
$17.00A tomato and crab broth with vermicelli. Lighter and tangier than bún bò Huế, and a good pick if you want something less spicy.
Pho Bo Kho
$17.00Vietnamese beef stew, slow cooked and served with phở noodles. Prefer bread? The same stew comes as Banh Mi Bo Kho for dipping.
Banh Mi Thit Nuong
$8.00Grilled pork bánh mì and the cheapest way to try the kitchen. Pairs well with a Ca Phe Sua Da ($7.00), the iced coffee with condensed milk.
Bun Mang Vit Co Goi Vit
$25.00The most filling item on the menu: duck and bamboo shoot noodle soup with a duck salad on the side. Easy to share between two people.
About Café Bích Nga
Café Bích Nga is a small, family-run Vietnamese restaurant at 5572 Park Blvd N in Pinellas Park, a few minutes from St. Petersburg. It has been open since 2009 and is run by Lieng Le, known to customers as Mrs. Lieng, who came to the United States after the Vietnam War.
For years it was a quiet neighborhood spot. That changed in 2026, when local content creator Julian Becerra posted a video of Mrs. Lieng refusing to let him pay for his meal. Viewers learned she had been working more than 90 hours a week and struggling since the pandemic. A fundraiser passed $200,000, and on June 1, 2026 she was handed the keys to a furnished home close to the restaurant, as ABC News reported. FOX 13 Tampa Bay also covered how the restaurant's name first caught attention online.
The menu itself is old school. You will find central Vietnamese soups such as bún bò Huế, southern staples like hủ tiếu and cơm tấm (broken rice with grilled pork chop), rice porridge (cháo), and drip coffee. Portions are large for the price, which reviewers point out often. If you are comparing styles, our Uncle Cha Fusion Cafe menu shows a very different take on Asian comfort food.
