Hitman - Jet Li (1998) - Lung Mun Restaurant, Johnston Road

This place was quite famous for its dim sum at one point. It even has its own entry over on Gwulo.com. I did actually make it here before it closed, on the recommendation of a friend, but spent the whole meal time dodging big flakees of mould that were falling down onto our table from the aircon overhead, and then the waiter tried to overcharge us for the food we had ordered. I guess they just gave zero effs once they knew they were closing down. The place closed at the end of 2009.  The building was subsequently knocked down and replaced by a high rise of serviced apartments called "Chi Residences". You can see the exterior of the old restaurant in this shot from Bloodsport.

In the film, this is where Lo takes Fu for some food while he tries to track down the mysterious "Uncle Leung".
