King Quong Restaurant was a buffet restaurant in Salt Lake City that was
open from 1986 to the mid-1990s. It was owned by restaurateur Johnny Quong,
who ran a number of themed restaurants in Salt Lake City, including The
Hawaiian and The Tiki Hut.
They used the imagery from the 1976 King Kong to promote the restaurant,
which included a jungle setting and an animatronic gorilla inside. I have no
idea if they had permission for the use of the images.
More information about Johnny Quong and his restaurants can be found in this 2014
article published in The Salt Lake Tribune:
