16 Vietnamese Restaurants Obsessed With Puns

Good.

Would have gotten bonus points if it were "Pho-nomnomnom" but this will have to do.

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

Nailed it.

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

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

You know, like "forage" -- meaning to find / scavenge food, like an animal does.

But wait! What's that on the wall inside? It looks like... it looks like...

UnPHOgettable, indeed.

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

That's better.

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

Their website would lead you to believe they are not, in fact, in on the joke...

But don't worry...

They get it.

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.....

Because every year there is a meaningless cosmetic redesign and people are forced to line up around the block to get in.

See? If you've got a solid pho-king pun on your hands, then why not commit? Go pho-king big or go pho-king home.

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.
