The film was engineered for the restaurant to have several floors so that the editors could crowbar Bruce Lee's pagoda footage into the part of the film when his character supposedly makes an assault on the place.

Game of Death - Bruce Lee (1978) - Red Pepper Restaurant, Causeway Bay
I have no idea why this place was chosen for the gangster's HQ in GoD - perhaps because of its Chinese style exterior. Anyway, it is still around and still does a roaring trade (it must do to have survived so long in the face of ever increasing rents). I've never been but you can find it on Google Streetview if you head over to Lan Fong Road.
