99 Ranch was started by a vietnamese immigrant. 88 and other numbers were already taken in restaurants and other businesses. 99 is not a bad number either. It means enduring, longevity or long time. 99 also means near perfection with some room to grow to perfection.
I dunno... I think 88 Ranch Market would have been a better marketing name. Hey... is that also why so many Chinese live in the 818 area code? Hmmm... Irvine has a 949 area code... but that still doesn't stop them.
i used to live in the 818 area code and some made fuss when parts of it got changed to 626 (although 6 is also a lucky number)
My first time at 99 was in college when my Vietnamese friend took me to the original one in Westminster, I believe it was then called Siêu Th? 99 Price Market. It was far more impressive than the Diho market that I was accustomed to. I asked him why it was called that and he said 99 is a lucky number in Vietnam. He also complained that most of Little Saigon was owned by Chinese merchants.
Pho 99 was being investigated. its Irvine, Costa Mesa and other locations have already changed name but still being managed by the same people.
Chinese do not like to live in cities with more than 4 syllables like San Bernadino, Santa Monica, and Santa Clarita. They have a hard time pronoucing words with more than 4 syllables. They prefer brands with 4 syllables or less.

Oh... so is that why there is a Pho99 too? If momopi ever opens a vietnamese noodle soup place... he should call it 1-2-3-Pho.bkshopr said:
