Why do all Vietnamese pho restarants have numbers in their names, like "Pho88" or "Pho72"?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
The right word of PHO is PHỞ. Phở is a special traditional food of Vietnamese. People adds " 88" "72" or any numbers to make the differences between restaurants.

I think it's because it has worked for other vietnamese restaurants so it's easy to copy others and the numbers are for good luck. 8 is a very lucky number in some asian cultures. Hope this helps.
