In Chongqing. I recent ate at a hot pot restaurant called Zhu's Fagty Rot Hot-Tot. I have the napkin to prove it. What is this: a restaurant for gay pedophiles?

The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
Safari Tacos in Door County, Wisc. I mean seriously, that makes no sense. Safari Tacos?

Phuket, let's Thai one on.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
Juan Toomany's Taco Hut in Missouri City, Texas (now closed).
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
My favorite is the chinese restaurant in Cooperstown, NY.
Foo Kin, as in "I want some of that Foo Kin Chinese Food!"
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
Singapore Bistro on 19th and L in Washington DC has the name right but if you look closely the sign below reads "Asian Cousin". Awesome!
And in Hilton Head, South Carolina somewhere I remember seeing a restaurant called Mexician Grill. We still laugh at that one!
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
There's a Chinese restaurant here in Portland, OR called Hung Far Low. I have no idea why.
There used to be a place called Takee Outee in the French Quarter. There was one right up the street from Pat O's. The eggrolls were huge, delicious and exactly what we needed after a few Hurricanes. Good times.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
In Bellevue, Washington, there is "What the Pho?"
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
Mrs. Fly's Bakery (now defunct) was famous for shoo-fly pie.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
Kung Food in Las Vegas far off the Strip
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
Around the corner from my house (in a neighborhood with a large Latino population) there is a restaurant called "Pupuseria My Family's" I'm dying to know how they managed to have a sign created without anyone pointing out the problematic grammar. thepictsie - There's a "Chinee Takee Outee" in Gainesville, FL too.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
"Cabbages and Condoms" in Bangkok.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
"The Oinkster" on Colorado in LA's Eagle Rock neighborhood is the best worst name I know. While the name is a total joke, the food is not!
I stopped in there in late December and got a generous serving of their belgian fries w/ garlic aioli. So damn good, I finished them all.
Oink, oink, baby.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
"Meat and two veg" is also sometimes used to refer to a portion of the male anatomy.
In Jacksonville, FL, there is (or used to be) a place called Chinee Takee Outee, which I always found somewhat horrifying.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
There is/was a "Mother Cluckers" in New Orleans.
When I was in London in '94, there was "Phuckets" which we pronounced with an "f" sound (we were in high school and thought it was hilarious)
And another place in London was called "The Crusty Loaf" which I thought was kinda cute.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
I got the name wrong. The official name was
"Mo' Better Meatty [sic] Meat Burger"
Awesome.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
There's a "Something's Fishy" in Malibu. Don't know if it's part of the South African chain rudbeckia mentions, but that one has definitely caught my attention as particularly unappetizing.
Also suspect in sunny LA-LA land: "Wacky Wok" and "Killer Shrimp," both on Washington Blvd, in Venice. Wackiness and lethality are just not attributes I like to associate with my food.
Honorable mention: the now defunct Mo' Meaty Meat Burgers on Pico and Fairfax Blvds. (They didn't specify what kind of meat, or what state of meatiness had existed prior to the onset of "Mo'.")
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
Pho King in San Diego and Taco Rosa (Pink Taco) in Orange County.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
We saw a place in Houston called "Chewy Balls"--amusing and disturbing.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
What the Pho!...pho noodle house.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
It doesn't get worse than a chain of fast food fish shops with the name "Something Fishy." It's a South African chain and when I saw my first one I swore that the name would never work in the U.S..
Years later we moved to Santa Barbara to find a sushi joint with the same name. Very appealing.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
"Food Wall" in Jamaica Plain, Boston. Chinese, allegedly. Just... gross.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
"What the Pho' " in Atlanta. I've also heard that there is a Vietnamese place somewhere called "Pho' King," but I've never actually seen that one.
