NO RETURNS NO EXCHANGES! I took my daughter in here to pick out a toy as a reward. She chose a…read moresmall stuffed animal. We got home and she pointed out that the animal is coming apart at the seems and has a big hole. I went back to the store to exchange and was informed of the policy. I kinda get why mom & pop stores have these policies. However, if you want to keep customers and you sell a damaged product, exchange it and take the loss. You just made Amazon look like a much better option. UPDATE: Spoke with the store owner. There seems have been a misunderstanding as damaged products can be exchanged (they then return them to the manufacturer) . Should be remedied tomorrow. Will update to more stars once its all rectified.

It's a big of store, full of all kinds of products, few thousands of them. They have the Japanese plates and cups, decorative items, samurai swords, chopsticks, anime characters, dolls, snacks, hats, apparel, stationary, gift items and decoration goods. Apparel collection wasn't that good, ceramic, decorative and stationary items were the best in my opinion. The prices are decent, but little higher compared to dollar store items, probably because these are imported goods. The aisles are tiny. Need to walk carefully, especially in the ceramics area. It's mostly tidy. Different sections of the stores have associates helping customers. The checkout line was long for us. Took us few minutes to get to the register. They also charge additional fees for credit card that is posted right in front of the checkout counter.

Even though we didn't buy anything, it was still fun to walk around and see everything. The displays and decorations themselves are a sight to see. I love that there was a greeter dressed like a nutcracker. She was super sweet and friendly. It definitely added to the experience. On the second floor, there is a giant floor keyboard that you can walk on to play. There are also certain areas of free play, such as a rocket center and train table. I would say that if you're just visiting New York, like us, this place is worth a visit especially if you have children.

There were mostly high school kids and young kids with their parents. The staff was very helpful with helping us locate our books. We were able to go in and find what we needed.
