Re: The Dragon Inn Seafood Restaurant
Just checked. According to this piece of information the restaurant still exists, but I have no idea whether the original building survived the redevelopment.

T, thanks for finding the location.
Here's a photo we've been sent, showing the Dragon Inn in the 1950s:
From the Dragon Inn's website, it looks as though the same building is still there today.

The 1939 Dragon Inn Villa buildings were demolished in 1989, and the current Dragon Inn Restaurant and bar was built on the same site.
The restaurant is still owned and managed by Luk Hoi Tong Co. Ltd. (registered 1926), which also owns the Luk Kwok Hotel in Wanchai, the Nathan Hotel in Jordan, and owned the former Queen's Theatre in both its incarnations (and now owns the "LHT" retail/office building on that site, 31 Queen's Road Central).
