Muji

Neat and organized store. Buy the pens. They’re long lasting and write smoothly. Also the pens are all over Instagram

Visited this store. The staff are so unfriendly and unwilling to help customers, they are more concern on folding and stocking. The cashier didn’t even say thank you, she make me feel like my purchased didn’t matter.
Never coming back in this locations!

I LOVE MUJI! This is, hands-​down, my favorite place to buy school supplies, but you can buy others lifestyle products here. Products are Japanese, therefore, awesome quality. I would describe their products as smart, minimalistic, and modest. I would describe their clothes as a step up from Uniqlo (If Uniqlo is Gap, Muji is Banana).
I purchased two notebooks and a cool highlighter (has a see-​through tip so users can see what they’re highlighting). What an awesome place!

An impressive selection of innovative and high-​quality items. Some of the prices are just ridiculous while others are just fine. Their marketing campaign is great and the brand stands out among others. As soon as you walk into the store, you get a very pleasant aroma from their AromaLab. I wish their items had better value. Still, it’s a store worth visiting.

I don’t usually write this stuff, but I felt very harassed after I visited MUJI near Timesquare in nyc. I always satisfied with their polite service. Since a guard asked me to leave my coffee at cashier, I asked a cashier named EVAN to hold my coffee while I shop there, because I didn’t want to spill my coffee just in case. (Other stores usually ask me first to hold coffee.) He stared me for a while looking so annoyed. After I bought sth and politely asked him that I want to get my coffee back, he gave it aggressively without even looking at me. I felt so harassed, and still can’t understand why he is annoyed even I voluntarily asked him to hold my coffee. I still like MUJI, but he was rude.

Great organizational tools and their clothing is simple, elegant and affordable. Can’t wait to stop in again when I am back in the city.

Great selection of slim trash bins that are cheap that come with vertical or horizontal opening lids. The dude who rung me up was in a crotchy beglassedIlooktoogoodforthissh! t mood, but the other lady strapped up the bin so that I didn’t have to ride the train looking like a moron.

Bad service. Three staffs stand by the door and were responsible to welcome customers, instead of opening the door, they were saying hi when people came in. When we leave, they told us that the door is heavy, but no one came to help. It was not helpful and not respectful.

Love love love Muji!!! Everything is so aesthetically pleasing and this store just makes me so happy. However, shoppers beware because you might end up spending a pretty buck without even realizing it. Although I love Muji I give it 4 stars because some of the products didn’t have price tags on them. Everything in this store is high quality; what you pay for is what you get. Highly recommend!

It’s like higher quality ikea, with a touch of Japanese minimalist style. Most people like the stationary here and I do too, although I don’t even use them much nowadays. I also bought their aroma diffuser and I love it! Recently I bought a coffee table and floor seats from them so I can utilize the small corner space in my room. The coffee table was super easy to put together, I literally just opened the package and unfolded it that’s it. It’s also made of real wood with a nice finish, I like that. It’s probably slightly pricier than ikea though.

It’s like Japanese IKEA, full of goods that balance being generic and being stylish, from notebooks and pens to kitchenware to slippers to suitcases.
I came in here looking for a notebook and a pen, and left with multiples of both, plus a pair of boxers and a bag of Taiwanese oolong. I don’t know how that happened exactly, except to say that Muji’s stuff is often subtly but powerfully appealing. In the same way that you shouldn’t go to a supermarket when you’re hungry, you probably shouldn’t go to a Muji when you’re itching to buy household knickknackery.

I came here earlier today to pick up a present. There weren’t many people in the store. I saw a couple of things that looked awesome but the price didn’t seem to match the quality. I picked a few novelty items including cult favorite pens for my friend. The checkout was fast and they do free gift wrapping.

I guess I could have spent hours in a Muji store without getting bored — tons of things that I either consider to buy, or already bought it at home. Loved the way they decorate the store, such a relaxing feeling.
Muji probably is a perfect place for small little container type of stuff — they have those in as many customization as you could literally think of. I have got a small carry-​on bottle for flight purpose for instance. Apart from that, Muji is also famous for the lamp light aroma diffuser.
They even have snacks and tea bags selling inside the store. How I wish they could start to serve real pastries, like the ones in Japan!

As a writer and beauty junky, I was so psyched to check out Muji. Unfortunately my experience ended in being accused of shoplifting.
The security guard stopped me at the door and asked me to present the receipt for my $ 1.50 notebook. The reason? I picked up said notebook and he didn’t see me put it back down. That is, I believe, what the French call «shopping».
Mind you, I walked to the register (he must not have been watching me THAT closely), bought it, and put it in my canvas bag.
When I questioned whether he asked everyone to show a receipt, he said yes.
I called bullsh*t (in my head), waited a few minutes, and saw him do the same thing to a couple as I stood there; he did not do so again.
I returned the notebook explaining my profiling experience with the guard (ironically, a self-​professed «Muslim who doesn’t see color», but told me about the negative perceptions of Black people).
Yes, it was only a $ 1.50 purchase, but my beauty spending packs quite the punch when I’m treated as a valued customer versus a criminal.

Great selection here. They’ve got more than the NoHo location as well as the Chelsea location. Of note are the travel-​sized beauty items, like a foldable tooth brush and hair brush. The frosted white plastic items are gorgeous; wonderfully precise; quintessentially Japanese. It’s a delight to observe and to hold them.
They offer a range of home goods, like clear plastic containers, which would fill out an apartment nicely, giving it a fresh feel.
This one’s got the best interior design of all three locations I’ve visited (this included). It’s fresh and clean, filled with wood.
The staff member who processed my return seemed none too happy. Maybe returns count against them — a broken approach if true.
Muji products are, above all, pure. If only they hired with the same level of attentiveness.

If you’re looking for a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of times square — drop by muji on your lunch break to roam the store.
From my experience it’s never too packed and they play soft soothing music — far cry from the traffic noises and dj party at h&m.
The merchandise itself is pretty overpriced. Some of the lotions and stationary are reasonable but the housewares and storage boxes are way overpriced. Very neat and organized like most Japanese stores are.
They also sell clothing/​bedding/​and a few variety of japanese snacks. Overall a nice store to browse around and to escape the loudness of time square. But in terms of merchandise — not sure if the price really justifies it.

After an incident in which a blue pen I had borrowed stubbornly decided to die on me and I was left to write a note with the last couple of words horribly, messily, angrily scratched and etched into the paper, I VOWED to carry a working pen with me at all times. I then overcompensated and had too many pens, markers, and pencils rolling around my bag. Then, when I was trying to find the perfect one, I had to spend approximately fifteen seconds (which is a lot!) looking for it in the recesses of my bag. «I have a Sharpie!» I once announced to a woman at the post office. Fifteen seconds later (see, it’s a lot!), I produced a Sharpie and a beet red face.
I came to Muji recently to buy a pen (cil) case and once again was amazed with this store. The case was the perfect size — small enough to fit in a purse, but big enough to hold my collection — and I even added to my collection because the pens here were so affordable! The 0.38mm gel pens, in particular, are $ 1.50 each and add just enough color without bleeding through the pages. They also dry so quickly. The stationery station at this particular Muji is a bit smaller than the others, but still does the job. I eyed a flip book scheduler that looked really useful.
Muji also has housewares and clothing. Oh, and J introduced me to the chocolate peanuts, a snack that could easily be made at home, but are too good to pass up when conveniently packaged and placed near the registers.
Likelihood of another visit:
Very likely!

I come here all the time whenever I need to replenish my stationary. They have a vast assortment of pens and notebooks, all of which come in different sizes and points. The ink does not bleed however the it doesn’t last as long. The prices are very affordable and wallet-​friendly which is nice compared to other products like Moleskine etc.
Not only do they sell stationary, they also offer a nice catalog of clothing for men and woman as well as household appliances such as towels, robes, humidifiers, bed sheets and many more.
The overall shopping experience is very enjoyable here. The interior is very elegant and trendy which is very enjoyable for me because I’m a fan of Japanese products and style. Definitely come here and take a look a what they have to offer.

This is truly an amazing place to get really good, high quality stationary. I don’t shop much at Muji, but when I go, I go straight to the pen and stationary station that meets you in the front of the store.
The fine tipped pens, which are available in an abundance of colors and sizes, are my Achilles heel. They are so beautiful and bountiful that I cannot help but to «stock up» on items that are more of a fun luxury than a necessity.
I’ve willed myself not to buy these beautiful pens again until the ones I have run out of ink. Hopefully this plan will work. Hopefully.

Came here to grab something quick before we head to dinner. l childishly thought all Mujis in Manhattan are the same but no, this one doesn’t feel like a Muji at all. I definitely prefer the one at Cooper Square.
First of all, the address is a bit confusing and the shop is hidden behind the Dean and Deluca. When I walked in, the store was really messy. It’s as if a storm came through. I guess they were in the middle of changing their products on the shelves, thus there’s boxes everywhere. But don’t shops usually do that after they close for the day so that they won’t disturb their customers?
I couldn’t find anything I came looking for other than a bowl. I know for sure they have refills for the hexagonal click pen. However, all they had were refills in orange. They don’t even sell this pen here in normal colours. I was trying to find another pen and their selections are so limited. Found a cap gel pen but doesn’t have the tip size I want. They have refills for this pen but not the same tip size as the pens they sold. What?! What’s going on here.
Overall, not a very pleasant experience. Staff was not helpful.
