16 Vietnamese Restaurants Obsessed With Puns
This trend in L.A. restaurant names is getting Hannoi-ing.
3. PHO' EVER

Not bad... but there has to be a way to make this a little more cloying...
4. PHOever YUM

Nailed it.
5. 9021-PHO

For the record, this restaurant is located in Glendale, CA, which is actually ZIP code 91210 (sorry, I mean 9121-"Pho").
6. ABSOLUTELY PHO-BULOUS

Because nothing says "traditional Vietnamese food" like a cult '90s Brit-com about drug abuse and alcoholism.
9. BUN ME!

Oh great, now the banh mi guys are getting into it. Stay out of this, banh mi guys!
10. PHO SHOW

That's better.
11. GOOD PHO YOU

Good for you. You came up with yet another "pho" pun.

But don't worry...

They get it.
13. SO PHO, SO GOOD

OWNER #1: We need a mediocre pun for our business. Help me brainstorm. Remember, it HAS to be mediocre!
OWNER #2: Ok. How about "Pho-Tosynthesis"?
OWNER #1: Too nerdy. "Pho-skin?"
OWNER #2: Gross. "Pho-bidden Zone?"
OWNER #1: "Friend or Pho?"
OWNER #2: Not mediocre enough!
OWNER #1: "Homo-PHO-bia"?
OWNER #2: What?
OWNER #3: Hey guys, how's the brainstorm coming?
OWNER #1: So far, so good!
ALL THREE OWNERS: Heeeeeeey.....
But the best / worst "pho" pun isn't in LA at all.
It's up in Renton, Washington.
You ready?
16. PHO SHIZZLE

(Honorable mention: This one is not a pun, just an unfortunate choice of name.)

Apparently it's pronounced "me-yoon." Judging by the Yelp reviews, the name is bringing in a decent amount of business... and a dollar spent ironically is worth the same as one spent in earnest, so maybe the owners of My Dung know exactly what they're doing.
