Just started watching this. And realised some locations look familiar...

Despite the anime being 35 years old, some of the placed might still be there.

So I'll make a start of any I recognise.

Episode 5, Soba: "OOki Soba" is irl called "Namiki Soba" down the road from Kaminarimon in Tokyo.

Episode 34, Abalone Steak. Is IRL a place called "La Mer the Classic" in the Shima Konako hotel

Episode 38, "Beer hall", it's pretty obviously the "Ginza Lion" beer hall (the original) the arched door way is a dead give-away.

Episode 45, the "Jackie Chan" episode in HongKong.

... the actor they're referencing is no other than late 80's Jackie Chan (despite the "dragon lee" name should be referrencing Bruce, but the rest of the details dont fit), the jacket and jeans, the hair and the distincive nose detail is a dead giveaway...
- the Movie name "Operation B" is obviously a word play on "Projcet A", a Jackie Chan movie.
- the name of the production company "Diamond Films" was refering to "Golden Harvest"films, who mad all the Jackie Chan films back then, "Diamond" being a workplay on "Golden"

Ok the restaurant. called "福寿门" and the dish it servied "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, aka Buddha's Temptation"...

The "real" location is no other than Fook Lam Moon Restaurant (福临门)... been open since the 1940's.
