    This shop is a whole dark stone comedy on its own... i love to shop here they have the most beautiful and unique weed bongs, I recently purchased this book for my big D friend who is embarrassed to have a big piece and actually this book has help him and i love it for him. I love this store so much i bring a new friend every time i visit and they have become regulars here because how can you not love this store. If i could say something bad or negative i can point 2 things that i was not a fan off but not a big deal TO ME 1. The customer service is very much nonexistent as they only have 1-2 employees and they stay behind the register at all times. 2. The prices for their items are ridiculous but they do put and move things for huge sales or discounted relatively quick. So when i like something i wait 30 days and then i can afford it because who's paying 69.99 for a small candle or a weed grinder not me .... Overall this store is a must visit for me and hopefully one day they improve with customer service and their price points 5/5 stars

    Adorable gift shop. I think you could find something for anyone here. Quirky, cute, funny selection. I wandered in off the street because it was so cute!

    We came here looking for sonny angel figurines and ended up finding so much more. Vintage touches here and there, with an eclectic collection of so much more. Pop culture branded items, NYC themed momentos, and a wide selection of novelty paraphernalia. The staff is nice and prices vary between run of the mill and absurd. I'll check out their next restock when it comes available.

    Really funky and quirky store to explore, so many random things to look at. Very fairly priced in my opinion, especially for NYC. This is one of those stores you visit not expecting to purchase anything, yet end up leaving with 5 random fun things you don't really need. I purchased some eccentric gifts for friends and would definitely come back to look around! A very visually entertaining store.

    Fantastic clothing and accessory stop just across From the subway stop and around the corner from Roberta's pizza. Perfect place for unique gifts, burning time before Roberta's opens at 12pm, and especially buying sweaters for only $40 or so! Everything appears to be vintage.

    the CUTEST store ever!!! customer service was nice. they have trinkets, candles, clothes, rugs, weed accessories, and sooo much more a ton of great stuff for gifts. smitski, sanrio, sonny angels i wanted to buy the whole store, love having this store nearby :)

    Their products are so cute and it supports a lot of independent artists. Their products are very LGBT friendly and feminist

    I used to visit the Pearl River Marts previous locations but my first time in Soho…read more It's not as crowded or big as i remembered it, but definitely more organized. Nice place just to browse Chinese decors, knick knacks, clothes, snacks and condiments. I bought some nice pens and a beautiful silk scarf. Prices are reasonable. I happen to chance on their little art exhibit at the back. The Red Envelop show for Lunar New Year. Very interesting. Over all, i like this place, feels like it instantly transports me to China with out leaving NYc.

    Finally made it back since the reopening and likely my last time stepping foot in SoHo. It's become…read moreoverwhelmingly crowded and far too touristy for my taste. I still remember Pearl River in the early 2000s. Two full floors and the go to spot for anything and everything Chinese: snacks, dry goods, stationery, art supplies, home goods. Walking in felt like stepping into a small piece of China right in NYC. It felt layered, authentic, and full of discovery. Fast forward a few years and Pearl River moved to Broadway in SoHo. It was still two floors, more spacious, and if I remember correctly, it had an entrance on Broadway and another toward the back (I can't recall the exact cross street). Even through its moves, it retained that sense of depth and cultural immersion. I recently stopped by the current SoHo location. It's now just one floor. The layout is open and well organized, but noticeably smaller in scope. They carry a mix of items: a small selection of blind boxes, modernized gift items, Chinese art and figurines, cupware and fine plateware, a modest kitchenware section toward the back, a small apparel and footwear area, and a reduced stationery section. A small book section with more small figurines. They also carry a small but thoughtful selection of loose leaf teas, snacks, and pantry staples. It's still cute. The prices are reasonable. There are definitely thoughtful and modern touches. But if I'm being honest, it feels different. More condensed. More curated. Slightly Americanized. And maybe that's just nostalgia talking. I experienced what Pearl River once was, and that version was special. It's not bad. It's just not the Pearl River I remember.
