    If you're looking for a cute book store this would be one to visit. They have so many selections of gifts. If you're a Ghibli fan they have lots of goodies. Bento boxes, calendars and ceramics. The staffs were friendly and we were able to roam around the store undisturbed. Lots of space to check out the manga and trinkets. You can just take your time to soak it all in.

    Kinokuniya is my favorite store for all my anime and kawaii needs! Everytime I have visited, I left buying something! It can be overwhelming when you walk in but make sure to check out all the aisles. They have everything from books, stationary, plushies, stickers, etc.

    Do me a favor drop by this bookstore, and spend all your money here!!! I love the store associates; they are super sweet. Do you have ADHD??? This is your spot there is just so much... it's sensory overload in a good way. Too many cute items, and I even found a book I wasn't even looking for but really wanted.

    If you love Japan, this store is for you. They have the latest and greatest books and manga in English AND Japanese, pop culture gifts, all things Studio Ghibli, and so much more. I could lose myself exploring the stationery and gift items. They have a perfect selfie spot with Totoro!

    My haul from today!

    I absolutely love coming here! Everything is so clean and organized and especially now since covid hit, they have been more careful in their store. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted and are required to have your temperature checked. Masks are required and all of the employees also wear masks as well (: I love coming here to read/buy manga, buy stationery, studio ghibli puzzles, and stickers or enamel pins. They basically have everything that you could dream of in a store. I love reading the mangas to catch up on new anime that I am watching and also seeing what little figurines or collectibles that they have (: I highly recommend coming here to check out any Japanese stationery that you may have been wanting to try out or maybe to check out a manga that you have been wanting to read! They have a ton of different genres of manga and there is also a wide variety of children's book and other novels (: I was looking for a specific manga volume but they didn't have it in stock so the employees at check out were kind enough to look online for me and let me know when the next shipment comes in! I love coming here and this will always be somewhere that I stop by at when I am in the Katy Asian town area!

    Cute bag for the items I purchased!

    This is a hot spot to shop right now! I went there 2 days in a row and both days it was busy! Great place to find gifts. This is a bookshop with a collection of Japanese literature, but I spent most of my time perusing the other fun items they have in stock: lots of Japanese pens (I bought a new Kaweco Sport fountain pen for my brother. My fave pen!), high quality stationary, and tons of cute little knickknacks. It is super interesting and fun to just walk around and see what they have on the shelves. I ended up buying several pens and stationary to give as gifts. The staff here were friendly and helpful. They invited me to join a pen club that meets at the store: Space City Pen Club (Insta @spacecitypenclub). I was delighted and hope to join one of their meetings soon. I will definitely be back! After shopping I went to Kura revolving sushi next door. Just another reason to love Katy Asia town.

    I love it here. I want to live here. Stationary, manga, anime, kpop galore There's so much stuff! You really have to take your time and shop around. The store is clean and the staff Is very helpful. I like that they keep the doors wide open during business hours!

    Manga galore!

    My first and only visit to a Painted Tree Boutiques was not what I expected. I was very pleasantly…read moresurprised to find that this was not the typical big box craft store. The store is jammed with such a large variety of items that I can't find the appropriate category which to label them. The store has something of interest for everyone. It appears to feature small businesses in kiosk size stations of clothes, sauces, jellies, seasonal items, home decorations and the list goes on forever. The store draws you in to explore looking for what you'll find around the corner or next isle. This isn't my typical style of shopping so I can't determine whether the items represent a good value, however, I didn't go into sticker shock at any point.

I…read morefeel like if you have a problem with something you bought you should review that vendor and not the building. As for the vendors that are there, I feel like painted tree should do a better job veting who can get a booth. Some of the items looked like they were just from Harwin. If you go down the main middle aisle it's usually the best vendors. Once you go further away from the center the weirder things get. Because it has a bunch of random vendors you can sometimes find a dress at more than one vendor and just check prices and grab the cheapest one. Happened to me today. Vendor right across the aisle had the same dress for $10 cheaper. The dressing rooms are clean and sometimes they have a live band in the back of the store. You can find so many items here and the prices depending on the vendor can be really great! I guess it's kind of like a flea market but for boutiques or vendors. If you come just wear comfy shoes cause you will be walking a lot!!

The staff are simply wonderful, genuinely friendly, and extremely helpful. Also, they hand out KOI pellets to those of us who are addicted to them. I have had the privilege and pet the KOI while feeding. It's unlike any other experience you've had. My most recent visit was to pick up some "Dirty Dirt" which is dirt made from food waste compost from the Heights area of Houston. While they're much more expensive, its top quality product and all of my plants thrive living in it. I planted my most recent batch of garden plants, several different types of Certified Organic/Non-GMO potatoes (the plants are sprouting thru the dirt and it's only been a week!). In addition, I got an Orange tree, Swiss Mint, and a few other little goodies for my back yard. The staff answered all of my questions and I went home feeling like I had a true experience. I spent 2.5 hours there, they were very peaceful and happy 2.5 hours. I highly recommend spending some time here.

We bought some stuff for algae control, a water pump, and some faux wood floaters made from cork.
