As the name suggests, it's on the smaller side, but they pack in a nice selection of home goods and clothes for all ages, with a clear focus on children's items. You'll find tons of cutesy, well-designed things from several recognizable brands. It's the kind of place where you can pop in and easily find a charming gift or a special outfit for a little one. The quality of what we saw was alright, nothing extraordinary, but perfectly fine, and the prices felt similarly alright, matching the quality you get. It's a sweet, straightforward spot. If you're in the area and looking for something charming for a child, it's definitely worth a quick look inside.

So when the place is full or there's a lot of kids, it can be noisy. But it's too be expected. There's also a couple small dogs in the store. They keep to themselves. They had a decent selection of pottery to choose from. However, I think we wished there was a little more. We wanted to paint some of the marvel characters that we saw in a picture and also saw as a finished product on the shelf, but they were sold out. It's $8 to sit and then the price of the pottery on top of it. It's not cheap, but you're paying for the entertainment of it, the experience and memories, as well as, bringing home a one of a kind painted pottery. Additionally, there's a credit card fee if you pay with credit card. So I opted to pay in cash. Owners/staff are friendly. The staff offered suggestions on how to start painting (e.g. sketching out my design with a pencil first). But be patient, the owners have broken English. It didn't bother me, but I could see how it may be frustrating for others. Overall, we had a nice time at Mud Genius.

Sadly it was a frustrating experience and I am left wondering if it's this place only functions when the wife of the husband/wife team is at the helm. When she appeared she at least made an effort at customer friendliness. We went in on a weekday. I asked for an ice cream bowl. The husband's owner pointed to the shelves. I said I looked and could he help. He pointed to them again. No help. Sigh. I pick out a big item for my 8-year-old. We sit down. He proceeds to lecture my kid on using a big brush so he will finish faster. Is fast the goal here? It was overbearing and he didn't get any social cues to back off. More people come in -- a 5 and 8-year-old. He insists they sit together even though there's plenty of space because as he says: "this way I don't have to keep walking back and forth." It's a small shop people. Now we are crowded next to a 5-year-old who has ants in his pants and is ready to climb the walls. Relaxing it was not. Then there's the dog, which they keep in the store. I don't mind dogs, but some do. One such customer said her kid was afraid and could they put the dog away. He is put in the back only to keep coming back out or yap. Now we have to listen to the drama unfolding. But, I think the final straw, after enduring all this was that when I asked for a fine point brush because all the brushes out had bristles that were worn out I was informed customers ruined them so that's what they had. The message here: We can't have nice things and neither can you. I get kids are the main customers but it's an art shop and I KNOW brushes are not that expensive that you can't keep some aside for adults who are trying to do some more detailed work. So, no, it wasn't much fun, and it was sure as hell not relaxing. We won't be back.

Some of my friends think I am crazy for not trying to sell or make a profit off of items I have that are expensive and like-new. A coworker recommended I sell my Graco Sooth My Way swing that I just purchased in July 2021 for almost $200 instead of just giving it away as I usually would. I only used it for a few months because my baby grew out of it quickly. She recommended I go to this place. I called ahead and the woman sounded nice enough, saying she would take it and give me cash on the spot. The swing is in like-new condition with all of the parts. I brought it in and the lady took it out of the bag and told me she is going to give me $16. I said that is it? And with an attitude she said "yea, all I can do is $16. If you want more than you have to sell it yourself." I already unloaded it out of the car and was not trying to bring it back to my house, so I just accepted the $16 and left not feeling good at all. I came to the conclusion that I feel much better giving it away for free than getting lowballed like this so someone else can make a profit. She will probably sell it for $100. I'm sure the experience here as a consumer is a lot better than one as a "seller" even though it felt more like robbery. Never again.

ArtBox, a supposedly well known stationery store in Korea. They open one up inside H Mart,…read moreoccupying the space that used to be customer service and claw machines. At first I was hopeful that H Mart would use this space for more restaurant stalls after it created a 4 stall food hall last May, followed by another 5 stall section in the summer. But no more restaurant stalls. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Browsing through the store did bring back a lot of my sweet childhood memories in Asia. Stationery stores in Asia were students' favorite stops. I remember in classes and during recess, we would show off fancy pencils, fragrant erasers, sick stickers, and transformer-level pencil cases. Well, that's what ArtBox offers, and more - what every student would love to own and show off in class. One thing that is totally unique here, well in addition to merchandise offered, is the price tags. The prices are printed in Korean Won (currency) during packaging, presumably in Korea. And the store would have a placard of "price list" at every section, tabling the amounts equivalent in US Dollars! Another observation is there was no staff in the store proper! No cash registers either. I suppose one pays at the supermarket check-out?! I suspect ARTBOX isn't just for students and kids. I think grown up women might find many desirable items here too, such as plushes. I can see this as a fun date stop after some fun dishes at the adjacent food hall. Everything is cute. Not so much for men though I'm afraid - unless they are being held hostage and under duress by their kids (or date) lol.
