Our university's restaurant has funny English translations to their meals sometimes. You people know meat balls, right? Once we had a vegetable version of it, i.e. vegetable balls, and the menu had it written as something like, "Vaegetable cake". The university's cafe has food and drinks you can buy and take with you, they're called Take-Away products. Once they had a sign that was calling those products "Take-A-way".

I have found a lot of Engrish over the years. I absolutely love Engrish. xD A more recent one I found in a 99 Cent Store:
All your base.
My little Brian_the_Shark has a book full of weird translations. Things like 'Toilet oout of order. Please use floor below'.
'Don't fold pushchair while child is inside' or something. I don't think that was a translation, just something to be safe. You can sue for anything in America.
This isn't quite a mistranslation, but...
My uncle went to China a while back. While there, he went to a restaurant that had "Noodles and Beef Balls" on the menu. He, of course, asumed it meant Spaghetti and meatballs. When they came out with the dish, he found that it was, indeed, a plate of noodles with three large beef balls on top.
Don't know why it's three, but ... He said it was a very good meal :P
