Brendan Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Anyone ever go to the Chinese restaurant on the Old Kent Road where the owner (I think he was the owner) was an Elvis impersonator and would entertain the diners during the evening? Anyone know what happened to it? Is it still there? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1257-chinese-elvis-elvis-chinese/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 To be honest I don't even remember the food. It was always more about the music maaannn. I had some top nights that started out in there.

Jah Lush Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Me? Messing about, don't be silly Mockers. Anyway, just remembered Paul "Elvis" Chan played at the wedding reception of a friend of mine a few years back and he was bloody fantastic. I wish him a speedy return to good health.

Jeremy Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 The other one was/is in Tunbridge Wells... I went there once. He was actually pretty funny for a while, but the joke wore thin after about 1 minute. Food was diabolical, and not cheap.The one on Old Kent Rd is now a Nepalese place.
