This restaurant in Mystic, Connecticut has the second worst naming choice ever. For those too young to remember, this was the worst one.

I guess they didn’t know to double the ‘k’ when adding a suffix to “wok”. (The similarly named restaurant in Edmonton got it right.)
They need a hyphen … like all those “enlightened” couples who defy the patriarchy by combining surnames … so enlightened … so edgy
Just put the hyphen in the right spot … wok-ery not woke-ry
A dozen years ago, I was in a hotel in Fukuoka, Japan. There was a small sign, in English, on the headboard of the bed, which read: “No snorking”
I couldn’t decide it they meant “No smoking” or “No snoring”.
Perhaps “No snorkelling”?

When I first moved to Edmonton, many decades ago, we’d eat at this breakfast place where the owner didn’t speak the greatest English, and he called his place “Humpty’s Dump”.
Tried telling him why the name wasn’t great, but the guy really really liked Humpty Dumpty.
Eventually he shortened it to just the first word. It might have been Humpty’s Egg Dump, i forget. It was 40 years ago.
I thought “Slug and Lettuce” was a poor naming choice for an eatery when I saw it on the outskirts of London, but then someone told me it’s a chain in the UK. I guess if you can laugh about it, maybe it’s not so bad… provided you don’t find a slug in your salad.
There used to be a Chinese take away in Ilford, London called “Kitty Feast”……..
Truth in advertising.
We had “lucky wok” in the same strip center as “small animal veterinarian and crematorium” which was suspicious… but they had awesome chicken fried rice.
“Lucky Wok” in the same block as a small animal vet and crematorium is definitely one of the great moments in town planning. It’s up there with my all-time favourite, the main street of Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba, where the Sobering Funeral Home sits across the street from a butchers called Brokenhead Sausage.
There is a very popular Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong just off the Lockhart Highway named “Fook Yu.”
