When people in this community look for Thai Porn, it’s along La Palma Avenue, most locals say.
It’s Thai Porn. A restaurant which uses the word “Porn,” which means blessing in Thai, but is pronounced Pawn, says its owner, a woman named Pornpan.
Pornpan says she used to get funny looks from people at first, but no longer, though the occasional jokes still find their way into the restaurant from time to time.
Featuring Thai favorites like barbecue chicken, and Nam kao tod, a pork sausage served with roasted peanuts, green onions, red chiles and other seasonings, the restaurant has been a community favorite for years, Pornpan says.
With a growing clientele, Pornpan says she has no plans to change the restaurant’s name.
