Why Do Phở Restaurant Names Usually Involve Numbers?

Intersting! My Aunt, who immigrated from Vietnam in the 70s, told me that the numbers usually represent the shop number of a pho restaurant in Vietnam. She said in the capitol city of Vietnam, the pho shops were numbered. So back in the States a restaurant owner would make tribute to a famous or favorite Pho#__ restaurant from Vietnam in hopes to attract the older nostalgic Vietnamese generation or recreate the success the original restaurant had achieved. However, I'm sure the lucky numbers or significant year theories are also correct.

Lucky to have one in my town! The whole Sha-bang is the way to go!

@nelkins: if I remember correctly, they're farmed in Seadrift, Tx. My friend's cousin is the founder and i'm pretty sure he mentioned shipping the seafood from Seadrift.
