Century Dragon (and I still don’t know why a Burbank Chinese restaurant would open up in WLA) is the sixth Chinese restaurant at that location, but the first one didn’t show up until the late 1980s. Cheng Du, however, was preceded by Chung King restaurant which I believe opened up in the early 1970s. And then further down on Pico was Viking’s Table, which might have been a smorgasboard restaurant in the 1970s, but which was definitely a Chinese buffet in the 1980s.
