The Coolest Vietnamese Pho Shop Names Abroad
There's no denying how far Vietnamese pho has spread around the world. If you want to see just how famous it is, take a look at these pho shops abroad rounded up by VN Cooking.
Some of these shops were opened by overseas Vietnamese, others by local entrepreneurs. To win over foreign diners who don't speak Vietnamese, they came up with brand names that couldn't be any cooler.
PHO REAL

With the name "PHO REAL", the owner is proudly declaring that his shop sells "real pho", not a fake. And to English ears it sounds just like "for real", meaning genuine, guaranteed "100% the real deal".
PHO SURE

"Absolutely certain", as sure as it gets: that's what "for sure" means. The clever play on the Vietnamese word "pho", spelled "Pho" and pronounced like "for", makes the shop's name all the funnier.
WHAT THE PHO

This is probably the funniest pho joke of all. Taken literally, the name means "what is pho?", but the slang phrase it echoes will be very familiar to young Vietnamese today, who often use it when something is simply unbelievable.
UN PHO GETTABLE

What an adorable pun the owner came up with for this pho brand. Many restaurants have deliberately given their pho this name on the menu to pique diners' curiosity as they browse. Un Pho Gettable is a play on "unforgettable", meaning something you can't forget, just like the taste of pho once diners have tried it.
PHO EVER

A single word, "forever", has now become a pho brand: "Pho Ever". Funny and memorable at the same time, isn't it?
