Description:

I had always wondered about Dave Wong's China Sails restaurant after seeing the Tiki mugs that featured the restaurant name.

I picked up a postcard that shows the exterior building and sign and the interior bar and dinning room.

The sign was pretty cool.

The bar had a Covarrubias-style mural as a backdrop.

Back of the card.

I grabbed some images of a menu a while back from ebay. They featured all of the standard drinks.

Interesting logos used on the menu

Looks just like the images used on the Hawaiian Hut matchbook located in Portland, Maine.

Wonder if they were somehow related.

Found a website that has some information and tributes to Dave Wong.

There were several other locations in addition to the original in Salem.
