From the Jimmy's website
1969 22nd August Jimmy's Kitchen Kowloon was opened at G/F J. Hotung House 何鴻卿大廈 (now Hankow Ctr), Hankow Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui.
1982 Jimmy's Kitchen Kowloon moved to 1/F Kowloon Centre, Ashley Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui with 130 seats.
Was located at 257, Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay.
Labelled "Atmosphere Restaurant". The restaurant was opened in 1976 by Leo Landau who also owened Jimmy's Kitchen. Probably closed in about 1990 when the building was demolished for the new Sino Plaza that opened in 1992.
From my 1980 Hong Kong Tourist Association Official Guidebook.
In 1934 Jimmy's Kitchen moved from Lockhart Road to the China Building at Queen's Road Central/Theatre Lane near King's Theatre. It closed during the Japanese occupation from 1941-1945.
In August 1945 (!) the restaurant opened again. In 1975, the restaurant closed because the China Building was about to be demolished and moved to Wyndham Street.
Jimmy's Kitchen opened in 1975 at the South China Building on Wyndham Street. It moved here from the China Building at Theatre Lane/Queen's Road Central (See Jimmy's Kitchen QRC [1934-1975]).

South China Morning Post from 17 May 2020 refers:
Was located at 57 Peking Road. The restaurant changed to Spaghetti House later.
2, Bristol Avenue
The Lung Moon Restaurant stands at 130-136 Johnston Rd. It's just passed its 50th birthday under the current name - or 60th if you count from its previous name. Is it the oldest restaurant in Wanchai?
1948: It opened under the name 龍鳳大酒樓 ('Lung Fung' or 'Dragon & Phoenix' restaurant).
1958: It re-opened under its current name 龍門大酒樓 ('Lung Moon', or 'Dragon Gate' restaurant) on 4th Dec 1958.
Thanks to readers T, Raymondlo and Moddsey for their help with the names, photos, and dates.
The tag is just an approximate location. I have not been to that location for nearly forty years so it practically a blank to me.
