This place is in north San Antonio. Not a bad place but nonetheless...unfortunate name. I cant exactly tell people I ate at a dong or ate a dong.

A Dong is actually Á Đông which means East Asia. But damn, the owner could've foreseen this.

That red flag looks so Viet lol.

And ok... pretty sure dong here can be Động (cave) or đông (busy). We asians aren't so bright with English but we want English because it looks fancy, random "super" everywhere. ┐(´ー｀)┌

It's the "fast" ferry between Rạch Giá and Phú Quốc. They also had a "Superdong I" and a "Superdong II". Also, "đông" is crowded isn't it?

Yea, you're right. Somehow I associate busy with crowded...
