Dick’s Dragon was once billed as the largest Chinese restaurant in the world, and at 20,000 square feet it may well have been. Sitting on Bascom Ave in San Jose for years the building was eventually turned into Zorba The Greek Restaurant. We’re not sure why.

This was sort of a holy grail-like quest for us since I have a recollection of having been in the building as a Chinese restaurant. I also vaguely hearing my dad refer to Dick’s Chinese A-Go-Go as a nightclub so it’s possible the place became a club before turning into Zorba’sI don’t know, I would be happy to hear from anyone who maybe knows for sure.
