Awesome name, amazing food. They knew exactly what they are doing.

 

[Burt]

Glad I wasn't the only one who saw this.

Me too, now. Was worried for a while there.

Received a paypal payment from Say Yang last week.

 

[hateradio]

Yep, I expected this.

Great director.

I was like what is this about . . . oh.

 

[ZackieChan]

I took a few when I was in Saigon. Vietnamese seems like a constant source of fun for us English-speakers!

Everyone's favorite restaurant, Hang Dong.

Oh, and the best cafe in town, Phuc Long.

Enjoy, gentlemen.

Saigon is a totally awesome city

No.

Read it again.

It says: Hang Duong, and that "D" is pronounced the same as the "y" in yam.

Man, these are really mundane for those of us who know Vietnamese. I'm like, "What's so interesting about a store that sells seafood???"

Quarter to 3 in the morning and this fucking slaughtered me. Lmfao

 

[EricTheCleric]

Near where I grew up there is a restaurant/cafe called Blancks

Outside there is a sign pointing the restroom in the restaurant.
To make sure people find it they have added the text Blancks to the sign...

[I H8 Memes]

Im in St Petersburg and there is a What the Pho about 150 yards from me and a Bich Nga about a mile from me.

I have a classmate named Nga. It's pronounced 'Nah' I think.

 

[Hex]

too easy

They have awesome Pho.
They are two blocks from my mum's house.

 

[dluu13]

Yo that's (was) like the corner of Victoria and Kingsway. The restaurant that replaced it apparently sucks.

This is a photoshop.

this has to be a photoshop.

this is not a photoshop.

How the hell is something like this possible?

Robin G. Mahfood is President and Chief Executive Officer of Food For The Poor. As one of the original founders of Food For The Poor, Mahfood previously served as Executive Vice-President and Secretary of the organization’s Board of Directors. His leadership, strategic planning, and business acumen have helped rank the organization among the top run nonprofits in the country. Prior to assuming the Presidency of Food For The Poor, Mahfood was President and CEO of a family-owned business.

Mahfood has been described as a “spiritual businessman with a true heart for the poor.”

This reminded me that I was watching a show last night and the producer's name was Richard Suckle. I laughed.

This is the racism on GAF I'm talking about. Belittling and making fun of another culture. Notice no one took time to actually figure out what the names really mean and appreciate that the owners actually do have good intentions in naming their businesses.

 

[John Kowalski]

good

 

[jstripes]

 

[fierrotlepou]

Bich ngaaaaa

 

[Inferno313]

I actually live near the Cafe Bich Nga in the OP. It's about 2 miles from here.

Almost crashed my car the first time I saw it lol. The best part was some friends on Facebook started posting pictures of places with funny names like that, I told them to just pack it in, I'd already won. Went and took a picture of myself near the sign lol.

I pass this place every time I go to the movies, and it makes me chuckle every time.

For the curious, looks like the address is 4366, so that's 4366 Park Blvd Pinellas Park, FL.

Pinellas park is a shithole.

when I saw the 727 area code I knew it was Florida.

I've driven by that exact place. Pretty amusing.

I know where that is.

Tampa right? I almost took a photo myself.

Do you go to parkside theaters? If so thats pretty cool cus I go there too didnt know there was a gaffer that was around the pinellas park area!

I'm in Tampa!

Tampa/StPete Gaf meetup at the Bich Nga. It has to happen now.

 

[Thick James]

Great director.

That's pronounced more like who-koo-naga

One side of my family is Vietnamese/Chinese and we laugh at signs like this all the time. I would wager that some of these are even intentional puns. Accusing people of racism over this seems pretty harsh imo; notice that several signs in this thread are English as well.

 

[Josh with a J]

How is Pho pronounced? I know it isn't foe but I always forget

 

[impact]

OP from Tampa?

unless of course there's another bitch nigga restaurant somewhere in the US

 

[Josh with a J]

Pho King and Pho Kim Long ;]



Pho King

PhoKing.



Yes, it is exactly what it sounds like.

I'm so confused now! Is it foe or fuu?

Pho King = Fuu-King?

Edit: Just call it Noodle Store, damn it!

Give me a pho king break. Half the pho joints in SoCal have pun names like "What the Pho" and they're Vietnamese owned.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

hopefully Kendrick will educate us Bich Nga like he just did with Negus

seriously Robin Mahfood was too epic for my tears

 

[OnkelC]

 

[Mr. Wedgewood]

Reminds me of that Russel Peters Standup bit about Pho pronounciation.

My ex-gf from Vietnam pronounced it F-uhhh.
My american friends always "correct" me with F-AHHHH. I intentionally say FOE all the time with my friends just to irrate them. Same with "Kerry-oh-key" (Ka-ra-o-ke.)

 

[Kazuhira]

We have a winner hahahaha

 

[Josh with a J]

F-uh!

It's neither "foe" nor "fuu."

Damn, I suck

Didn't get the joke at first.

I lived 4 months 2 doors next to the restaurant you posted O_O
For Hang Dong you are forgetting about the U though.
Phuc Long also made me laugh. Another one was a delivery coffee shop called Bukkafe.

 

[jaypah]

They're not the best, but...

Man, this shit is going to be funny forever my nga. Forever 😂

 

[explodet]

The original Ho King was better.

I am 100% serious.

I left out the "u" on purpose. Is this the "racism" the other guy was talking about?

Spoiler

ridiculous

 

[nampad]

I already got shit with my next statement from Asian GAF, but...

Pho isn't even that delicious. Now if they served ramen....
