well, that particular Kubrick is one in which some abandoned back lot in the UK stands in for Vietnam, poorly. So one’s expectation of authenticity should be, let’s say, somewhat tempered.
Seriously? How about naming a restaurant:
Suicide
Murder
Coroner
Enlarged Prostate
Camphor… oh wait…
Join us for cocktails at the Salonpas Lounge at Camphor (still smh at this name since it opened)
San Rafael, CA has “Sushi to Dai For”, but at least that’s a pun.

Lol, really great!
any derivative of PHO KING is so low effort.
As is Wok ‘n’ Roll or Wok to Wok.
If famed sushi Chef Keiji Nakazawa were to venture into making Vietnamese noodles, he’s for sure call it Pho Sho…
There’s already a Pho Show in Culver City. It’s not bad.
I’m waiting for a Muppet-themed Asian fusion place called Wok-a Wok-a…

I think I’ve been there, if it’s in Deerfield Beach, FL.
