Hilarious Naming Mistake

[GB]

This restaurant used an online translation tool to name their restaurant in China. This is one of the funniest translation mistakes I have seen.

There's a big Vietnamese community here in SoCal. Some of them are very creative in naming their pho restaurants.

Their names are not mistakes though I am sure.

 

[roadfix]

no

That's pretty funny. It reminds me of a stir fry sauce package I got from my Chinese exchange student. The instructions were to "pickle slowly for five minutes, then add shredded edible fungus".

I actually ate at one of these in LA. It was off of W. Pico. Other than the name, the pho wasn't very good. I heard that the restaurant was Korean and not Vietnamese owned which probably explained a lot why the pho kinda sucked.

LOL!!

GB, where do you find these things?

 

[GB]

I have my sources

So funny--love the What the Pho, especially if "pho" is pronounced correctly (which is the whole joke, I guess). When I'm surfing around the TV channels, some of the translations for the Chinese soap operas are just not-quite-right, and unintentionally funny.
