Stop dumbing down the Vietnamese please. Americans can pronounce Vietnamese food properly if you teach them. I've taught thousands of people to say Fuh? properly instead of the offensive Fo. I hate it when VN people dumb it down when we don't have to.
Que Huong is NOT pronounced Way Hong. That's just ridiculous. The Q is a hard Q. It's pronounced Quay. All Americans can say Quay. The Ng phoneme makes the W sound, but the Q is just a Q.
The Huong is a little bit harder, but it's certainly not Hong. It's a stretched single syllable. It starts out with a Huh (like you just got punched), then you take the Uh and stretch it into the N and end with the G (very slight Ga sound).
I own a Fuh? restaurant and the other night had a Vietnamese kid come in ordering Fo. What the Fuh??? It's come to that my bretheren. I almost threw him out.
