Last Saturday, my friend Karen insisted we try this “authentic” Italian restaurant that had just opened. The whole place was decorated with plastic grapes hanging from the ceiling, and the chef, Giovanni, was dressed in a suspiciously bright white apron. As we sat down, Karen ordered the “mystery meat special,” and once it arrived, we couldn’t tell if it was beef or a disgruntled raccoon. After half a bite, I jokingly asked a waiter if they had a more realistic version of the menu, and to my surprise, he nodded and said, “Oh, we don’t have that. This is not a fake restaurant!”
Just as my stomach dropped at the thought of what we were eating, Karen burst out laughing, and I realized the irony: despite the questionable decor and mystery meat—this was indeed a “real” restaurant, complete with an actual chef who thought the grapes were a culinary masterpiece. But between wondering whether we should order dessert or call Animal Control, we couldn’t help but admire the chef’s dedication to making dining a true adventure…for better or worse!

J
This is a Vietnamese restaurant.
M
Sum Tien Wông?
J
It’s still not really a funny joke….Bahn Mi is an actual dish that this restaurant would serve. That’s why the original comment was funny.
I
Bich you didn’t say nga please again.
U
Vancouver used to be able to do you one better. We had a restaurant called: Po Bich Nga
G
I thought it was Pho Bich Nga, no?
U
Ah…my bad…its been a while thanks… Not as humorous now
B
Why bother? Wal-Mart has some really nice pho kits.
Z
Vegas still has this gem. Down in quality though. Check out Pho Kim Long! https://yelp.to/0Aen3_HpIB
P
Toronto has Dum Phukt
D
Pho Dat Bich
C
There used to be a Hung Far Lo where I grew up
B
I remember that place. I used to work at the Boys and Girls Club not that far from there and the teenagers used to like making jokes about it. One of the other workers was Vietnamese so he really didn’t appreciate it and would roll his eyes and explain the correct pronunciation whenever it came up.
C
got to admit thats a awesome name. owners knew what they were doing.
C
What up St Pete ✌️
C
Well, technically it’s Pinellas Park
B
Well now, that is authentic
A
Yup used to live right by there. Btw is pronounced “beekh n’ya” And the food isn’t that good.
A
Agreed but the biscuits and gravy at Victor’s across the street slaps.
P
I was there and tried the chipped beef on toast. Would not recommend.
_
Am I right that it translates to Blue Russia?
F
It’s just a person’s name. And Nga can mean several things.

What a legend
S
This isn’t that bad of a pr even though it wasn’t intended 😂
B
Thanks for the link
D
I saw it on an instagram reel, unfortunately.
P
Had to drive by that place everyday for a few years living in Clearwater
D
It’s in Florida. I looked it up and it seems it just translates to “Beautiful Jade”. It’s a common Vietnamese name.
P
It was the “authentic restaurant” without indicating what kind of restaurant that I found funny. I don’t know how to differentiate the language of the restaurant name to tell.
