The “Kwan Yin Temple” was a bar nestled inside “Yee Mee Loo” a Cantonese restaurant located at 690 Spring Street within Los Angeles Chinatown. “Kwan Yin” refers to a Bodhisattva in Buddhism associated with compassion. Yee Mee Loo was opened in the 1930s by Chinese immigrants and the gorgeous back bar of the Kwan Yin Temple was originally sourced from the Warner Brothers design studio and used as a prop in the 1937 film “The Good Earth.” After almost 60 years, Yee Mee Loo & Kwan Yin Temple closed for good in 1989 when the landlord decided to redevelop the property and turn it into a strip mall.

United StatesI love to wear Yee Mee loo
Love the shirt and the design, it fits well.
United StatesA very nostalgic matchbook cover
My family and I used to go to Yee Mee Loo in Chinatown and I have very distinct memories of the funny matchbook with the image of the son asking his father a question and the answer being before the question. We always laughed. I was thrilled to find out that this was an iconic restaurant & bar and so happy to see it available on a T-Shirt and canvas print!

This is a T-shirt, not overalls. (Rim shot.) My experience wearing the T-shirt has been very nice, thank you. It's quite comfortable and attractive. It fetches amused looks---as I do.
United StatesAnother Winner
So timeless! So cool. Past designs are being brought back to life by this brand so that we can all appreciate the good times and fond memories that industrious entrepreneurs, the mom and pops spaces built for us. These are the forerunners that defined our communites and brought such classic culture to them in ways that we'll always appreciate and should never forget. Kudos.
