Chinese Restaurants with Fun Names

I was driving the kids I take care of to a doctor's appointment recently. We were on a road I don't normally travel on, so I was kind of looking around to see if there was anything fun and exciting. We passed by lots of restaurants.....a Sal's pizza, which if you haven't tried it, you should. Their slices are ridiculously huge (1 slice is a 1/4 of a 16 or 18 inch pie....What?! It's like 2 slices for the price of one....what's better than that!) But I digress......We also passed by a Chinese restaurant in or near Marlborough, MA called Yummy Kitchen. This tickled me. Whether it is indeed yummy or not, remains to be seen. But I guess if you want people to pop in and give it a try, calling it Yummy Kitchen might persuade people to pull off the road and give it a looksee. That got me thinking about other names for Chinese restaurants that I have found amusing. Here is my list so far:


  1. #7 Chinese (I believe in West Roxbury, MA)

  2. Pu Pu Hot Pot in Cambridge, MA (I looooooove saying the name of this restauant out loud....it is very fun. Try it! I'm sure you'll agree)

  3. Wang's in Duluth, GA (My family frequented this restaurant often when I was growing up...I never realized how funny the name is....I guess I was too young and innocent. Now whenever I hear the word "wang", I think of George Takei on the Howard Stern show or I picture Butthead saying to Beavis "huh....huh....huh.....You said wang")

Anyone else have any good ones?

My sister has another one to add from Georgia.....She was driving in her car the other day and saw a restaurant called Wings and Chinese. This definitely deserves a place on the list!

I don't have a funny restaurant but there is a hair salon in our town owned by some asian ladies called "Nice Cut."
