Café Bich Nga

Verdict: 👍🏽 The short of it: I recommend Cafe Bích Nga as a place to have a relaxed evening and eat some good food! We ordered a noodle soup, broken rice w/shrimp, and broken rice with a gas-grilled pork chop. The pork & shrimp came wish a soup which I loved, and a small bowl of a fish sauce blend for dipping. The staff was cool and atmosphere was chill. The reason I won’t give it 5-stars is because I’ve had a better pork chop at a different Vietnamese restaurant (it’s now closed.) Still, that is just my opinion. The people I went with, LOVE Cafe Bich Nga! I will go back to try other items on the menu too! Overall: 8.5/10 recommend 🤩

I was craving a viet beef stew & was presented with the biggest bowl of soup Ive ever seen lol. The coffee is strong and sweet. The soup was savory & full of beef ! No skimping on the meat :)

I saw this place from a video on Instagram, the name of the restaurant is hilarious in English, i always love seeing catchy names of Pho and Vietnamese restaurants. In the video I seen how kind the owner was to the person who filmed and posted the video, and i immediately wanted to support this business. It's crazy I saw the video randomly right before my trip to this area for the week, coming all the way from South Florida. I added it to the itinerary and had to stop being within 30 min of the destination. The food was great and the service was amazing. They check up on you to see if you need anything every few mins, and to refill your water. I've been to so many restaurants where once you get your food your lucky if you see your waiter again before the check. But here we were constantly being checked on in a good way by both staff members. It was a great experience and I highly recommend to give them a try. We got 2 XL Pho Special / Combination (Phở Đặc Biệt) , and #35 Rice Noodle soup w/ seafood (Hủ Tiếu Hải Sản)

I have been all over the city trying pho and this place has the absolute best pho each and every time I come here which is at least once a week especiallly if I have hang over I will be here for sure best broth ever never disappoints giant …

Be careful and check your bill before paying. If you pay by card there is a 3% charge and an automatic 18% gratuity with 4 or more people. I had left cash as tip on the table and when I went to pay the bill there was a sign saying they have all those charges. I have never been to any restuarant that automatically charge gratuity for a party of 4 or more, especially a Vietnamese restaurant. As in the food, we got Bun Bo hue. The only “wow” thing about it was it came out in a very large bowl. The amount of food is just a bit more than a regular bowl that you would get anywhere else. The flavor was salty but that’s how I like it. For anyone else, don’t add any fish sauce or mam ruou to it or else it will be very very salty. The pho was awful. The broth was murky and all you can smell and taste is anise. There goi cuon spring rolls were good. The hoisin sauce that goes with it had a little tang to it which was different for me. Overall I don’t think it was worth my 1 hour 15 minute drive from Lakeland.
