Pho name
Staunton’s pho restau-
rant has a new name and
a new logo.
“Notice any changes
around here?” a post on
the business’ Facebook
page said. “We officially
have our new name —
Laughing Bird Pho.
Thank you to Joy Krusz
for the wonderful sugges-
tion.”
Back in March the
Vietnamese noodle spot
started asking the public
for new name ideas. The
name came when they
were contacted by a com-
pany called Snapdragon
Pan Asian Cuisine, a
packaged-foods manu-
facturer in California, felt
the two names were too
similar.
Some of the new
names they considered
were: Laughing Bird Pho,
Basil Street Pho, Skyline
Pho or Dragon Baby Pho.
The restaurant opened
in 2016 and serves pho, a
Vietnamese noodle dish
in broth that comes with
vegetables, seasoning
and meat.
It’s pronounced duh,
with an “F” instead of a
“D.” It is located at 12 E.
Beverley St. in Staunton.
