Zen Garden

It’s more of a 3.5 than a 4 for me (C’mon Unilocal,give us those half numbers!) but I’m upping it to a 4 mainly because it’s newer and it’s very unique. There are a lot of items that are hard to find in person. Many of the products they have are only found on websites or Amazon.
They have a bunch of adorable plushies featuring your favorite Pokemon and other Animé characters (if you couldn’t tell by the name, most of the store is Asian, mainly Japanese, inspired). There are also really cool trinkets, swords, figurines, and even DRAGON BALLS. YEP.
The clothes are super cute! There was a charmander dress that I swooned over, as well as other character onesies as well as kimonos and Asian-​inspired dresses. There IS a dressing room, which I didn’t expect from the layout of the store… in fact, I believe there are about 3 dressing rooms. There wasn’t a huge selection of clothing but I really hope it’s just because they’re still newer and are expecting more to be shipped! If that’s the case, I will DEFINITELY re-​review.
The pricing is kind of expensive. I can’t knock it completely because it’s hard to find most of the pieces and get them right away but I’m a bargain shopper, so I know if I can get it with free 2-​day shipping on Amazon, I usually wait it out (not to say I wasn’t extremely tempted).
The customer service was okay. It was very casual and they kind of did their own thing but for the vibe of the store, it didn’t seem like they needed to be on top of you either. I had to ask to try on but they were very friendly and obliged.
I love the overall style and all of the items they have. The store still looks a little emptier, but as I keep saying it’s a newer store. As soon as they get more items in, which hopefully they do, I’m sure this 3.5, will turn into a 5!

Love this place! So glad it’s here! They have Japanese home décor, incense sticks and oils, snacks, swords and blades, tea sets, animé posters and plush toys, cosplay costumes and kimonos! It’s a cute Japanese store right by Sears and DSW. Do be warned that there’s a minimum of $ 5 dollars for credit or debit. I love buying my ramune and pocky here! Hope they stick around!
