I'm not sure about that as I don't get it. Where is the joke? I just know that pho is a very popular Vietnamese noodle soup.

Pho is pronounced “fuh”

Pho king sounds like fucking

So it would read "FUCKING VIETNAMESE FUSION"

Got it, thank you! I'm not native English and read it like "poh". Like "poking".

This reminds me of a shop I've once saw in Thailand. Apparently there is a common name called "Phorn", sometimes spelled without the "h". You see where this is going. Strolling through the streets of Bangkok I found a shop called "Porn Wedding Photography".
