Signspotting and Potstickers

We stumbled upon one of our new solid go-to restaurants (it's hearty food, it's across the street from us, it's pretty cheap, they deliver for free, what other reasons do you want) while looking for Thai food.  Why?  Well, because this was the sign that lured us upstairs:

That says: "Royal Thai Style Seafood & Dessert Fusion Restaurant & Pub"

So we went up to the second level of the big fancy building, expecting a seafood restaurant, a bar, maybe even a dance floor or, heck, a discotheque.  Nope.  No Sa Wat Dee Club to be found.  Instead, we wandered into a quiet, dark restaurant called "Hometown Dumpling," churning out pan fried dumplings and all kinds of meat and vegetable dishes in the Shandong style.  After dinner, I was still so mystified I asked the waiter where the Thai restaurant was located.  He chuckled and shook his head, explaining that the sign was for the former restaurant and simply too expensive to remove.  Hometown Dumpling has been in the space for over two years.  We shook our heads in amusement and admiration.  You have to give credit to a restaurant that can survive with such prominent advertising... for another restaurant!
