Alisan Florist

Rude. I guess they just don’t need my money judging by the complete lack of interest shown by staff. Disappointing as I had high hopes on the basis of other Unilocal reviews.

Just ordered flowers over the phone this morning and they promptly arrived within a couple of hours. I don’t know too much about flowers but gave them roughly how much I wanted to spend and that I wanted bloomed, bright and colorful flowers. The gentleman on the phone was professional, helpful, and knowledgable. I even mentioned the recipient had meetings during a certain time and they were able to plan around them. Thanks for the great service and I would definitely order from this florist again!

I am very picky with my florists and Alisan Florist has definitely hit my floral needs. They are great listeners, ready to customize any floral arrangement to your heart’s desire. Jae and Jimmy are great and I have been super happy with all the arrangements we have ordered, both for my office and for gifts to others.

I ordered flowers a week in advance for Thanksgiving dinner. I explained that I wanted something that looked autumnal and cost about $ 125. I couldn’t have been happier with the centerpiece that Alisan made — so gorgeous and perfect. I think it was a great value and will order from Alisan again!

Alisan Florist always provides the most gorgeous arrangements. For years our office has used them for arrangements during the holidays, for all client parties, and various other events and occasions throughout the year. The arrangements are always unique and absolutely beautiful. When you order from Alisan you know that only the freshest flowers are being used. I highly recommend Alisan for all floral needs– large or small.

Said it was open, but the lights were out and the door was locked. Too bad bc I hear great things about this place!

I had birthday flowers from Alisan delivered to my mom — who has impeccable taste — and she couldn’t believe she had never heard of this shop with such gorgeous arrangements. The company would benefit from including a business card with their deliveries! The gentleman who took my order didn’t speak the best English and we had some challenges communicating over the phone – but he still understood exactly what I was hoping to gift my mom. High-​end, perfect warm palate of roses, calla lilies, verbena and green Celosia. Beautiful !

Located in a rather hodge podge set of buildings in midtown Manhattan is Alisan Florist. This relatively small store front is a welcome respite from the corner delis with flowers that litter the area. Instead, what you get here are gorgeous flowers and plants that are fresh and smell great. The shop is beautifully laid out. When you walk in, the order counter and cashier are to the right. To the left is a wide variety of flowers and plants. Beyond that is a prep area with even more selection.
The family that runs this shop is ultra friendly and very good at putting together arrangements. I’ve gone in and picked one flower, asked for a bouquet assembled with it as a centerpiece and they’ve never disappointed. If you’re lucky, you may even get to meet one of the family dogs that hangs out at the shop every now and then (and they too are super friendly).
The flowers aren’t cheap here, but you’re in midtown Manhattan so expecting a cheap florist is like expecting cheap (non street meat) food. I’m more than willing to pay for great service and high quality product and Alisan is a great reminder of that.

Ordered an arrangement from here for my girlfriend on Valentine’s day. They did a great job customizing it (unlike the cookie cutter arrangements on the online sites), and the final product looked great — nice touches like the nice handwriting on the card. Ordering over the phone was quick and easy. They delivered early in the day, even though it was Valentine’s day.
The only potential gripe is they are a little expensive compared to a «standard» florist, but in my opinion well worth it.

I only rely on this florist and one other florist in the entire city to take care of my floral needs. Jae and his staff are AMAZING! Very creative and talented at what they can do with simple flowers. Anytime I send clients flowers for any occasion I’m always asked who made the arrangements and how much directions I had to give them to create it. It’s never too much direction I give them. Usually they can create something on the whim with me just telling them what I absolutely don’t want in the bouquet and what colors scheme to focus on. I also know that Alisan is the only floral company that Pfizer uses to do all of their floral and holiday decoration in all of their buildings.

For a flower shop, this place is very good. How do i rate that you might ask?
1) accessiblity: this place is central which means deliveries will be easier
2) staff: the head designer, jimmy, is a nice guy
3) value: not a cheap place but much more affordable than other high end places where their bouquets do not look differentiated
W/​all that said, the main downfalls are 1) limited selection although everything you would really need htey have, and 2) they do not have set designs, you have to show them something or describe it to them

Just walking into this store makes me happy… few things are better than the smell of fresh cut flowers. From the plethora of plants to the damp cement floors, Alisan overflows with earthiness. Though their selection of flowers is limited, the quality is excellent, and the Asian man that runs the shop arranges a gorgeous bouquet no matter what your price point. I also love the sweet, shy golden retriever mix that is present on some days.

Jae was so helpful, no matter how many times i called to make changes. The 2 dozen red rose arrangement was gorgeous and grand and at a reasonable price compared to the other top 3 florists I inquired with. Delivery was as scheduled and overall, their services were excellent.

I called this florist to ask about making an arrangement for a base of $ 30 before shipping/​handling fees and the man on the phone said, and I quote, «HA! Good luck in Manhattan. There is a minimum delivery charge.» I was so offended that he phrased it that way and said to him «You don’t need to be so rude» and he just said, «I’m not rude.» You’re in the customer service industry, buddy. Think twice before insulting customers.

i needed flowers for my anniversary and came across this florist on here. all the reviews are accurate. this place is awesome. the person who answered the phone was really pleasant, knowledgeable, and attentive. qualities that are hard to find in new york city. i highly recommend them. thank you Alisan florist.

Called these guys last Monday for a same-​day flower delivery. The communication was a bit difficult when placing the order, but it was well worth it. They delivered what was described as a beautiful arrangement based on my instructions of «lilies and make them look nice» and staying within a price range. Recommended if you’re trying to figure out which florist to go with in Manhattan.

Excellent florist, called for a delivery at 10am and they were delivered to my girlfriend’s office by 11am. Couldn’t ask for better service. Would have given five stars if the arangement had not inluded roses, as I requested. Regardless I will definitely use their services in the future. Thank you Alisan.

This is my go-​to place for a nice birthday or Mother’s Day arrangement. They’re very helpful and conscientious, and they always think of the perfect flowers to send for the occasion — incredible dark purple cala lilies, gorgeous peonies, cherry blossoms and whatever else you can think of.
I love that I can pick the phone up in California, tell the florist how much I want to spend and then have something that isn’t some generic Teleflora bouquet delivered the same day in New York.
