Great ambiance but limited vegan options . A great bar with quite a unique atmosphere. An ancient Chinese pot of cocktails is worth a try. Could possibly use more than one vegan option for snacks .

Once you go down the stairs, you will be greeted by a waft of incense! Cocktails are served with a teapot . Dumplings are great match.

Share the teapot cocktails and dumplings . Can't go wrong with Tokyo Rose . Staff dropped sauce on my bag and as compensation we revived a free teapot cocktail :D

Great selection of Japanese whiskeys and they know how to make a killer cocktail .

Kitsch cocktails in a teapot . Great music (salt n pepa ????????), great vibe and friendly staff .

Cindy Hung

The food menu needs some serious improvement to beat the competition around. Nice deco & concept. I'd be a regular if the food is better than the current offer.

Morgan Ragagnin

Great place which made me thinking about the comics The Blue Lotus. The dumplings are really good.

Geoff Kim

On York St. Look for the Roman Daniels sign and go downstairs. You'll know you've found the right place with the whiff of burning incense.

Sara Wiedenhaefer

Bruce lee was recommended, and we agree: SO tastey. Get the teapot . The atmosphere is great, the staff is stellar. Do it.

Great for a date. Wonderful food. Drinks were a little pricey .

If you're still confused on how to find this quirky-incense-infused-bar then look for this entrance to Roman Daniels Suit Club.

This place has lost a lot of its original magic. And, it's bloody freezing inside. Blasting out air con. Should have stayed in Stitch.
