I guess the chances are good that they may have actually filmed there. 'Goodfellas' came out in 1990 and HK closed in '89. So it's entirely possible. Every time I go to Chan's in Jersey I always wonder why nothing has been filmed there. As far as I know there hasn't, but man, that place is a location scout's wet dream. I'm not a fan of The Soprano's but that place would have been a perfect location for that show. It's right in that part of Jersey.
