The place is large so you have ample space to relax and soak in the view. It is located perfectly in the middle of 5th Ave. So after you walk down the street admiring all the beautiful architecture, window shop, grab lunch, stop by Rockefeller Center to wind down before continuing your day. It is worth the visit!

I typically go when Im in Honolulu as we don't have UNIQLO where we live so I always make it a point to stop here when in NYC. The store is gorgeous and huge, three stories including a coffee shop on site!

This 5th Ave location is known as the flagship store in NYC. Additionally, it's the largest Uniqlo…read morestore in the entire US and considered as one of the largest in the world. Has three floors in total in which each floor caters to different categories like heattech + men's + women's + children apparel + graphic tees. There's even a Uniqlo coffee shop on the 2nd floor. A large fake Christmas tree is placed in the center when first walking inside through the entrance. Then, a huge red escalator of heading up and down to each floor is behind the tree. Additionally. everything's either being neatly organized or stacked on most of the shelves and inside drawers except for a couple of areas here and there. The price range is reasonable for most apparel items besides the thick puffer jackets + sweaters + graphic tees. Even though there seem to be signs for the fitting room and cashiers/self-checkout, it's still pretty confusing to walk around and find stuff imo because of how large the Uniqlo space is. I have to flag down and ask different staff about the whereabouts of cashiers as I'm paying with cash. There's a bit of a line for those paying by cash despite several 5-6 cashiers being present while no line at all for self-checkout (card only). No line for the fitting room though. Generally, staff is shown as helpful + amiable + patient in a professional manner towards customers. My favorite section is probably by the heattech area. There're 3 various heattech types of warmth for both adults and children. Of course you can wear whichever layer as you please at the end of the day. All the desired temperatures are simply suitable for preferred reference anyway. The Original (Mild Weather) - 5°C to 20°C or 41°F to 68°F Extra Warmth (Colder Days) - -5°C to 15°C or 23°F to 59°F Ultra Warm (Extreme Cold) - -20°C to 10°C or -4°F to 50°F I think The Original layer of heattech is already pretty warm for the 30s-40s temperature here in NYC. The fabric is the thinnest in material. Very comfy to wear without being too stuffy on the inside. I bought two long sleeved heattech pieces today ($19.90 each). They also come in different colors and styles that might be suited to the personal taste of each and every customer. I'm not sure if they have a restroom for the public, will have to search for it next time...

The Shops at Columbus Circle is easily one of the most gorgeous and well-designed shopping centers…read morein the city. The layout is clean, modern, and easy to navigate, and the atmosphere feels upscale without being overwhelming. Every visit feels effortless -- from the open views to the overall vibe, they've definitely created something special here. That said, there is room for more. More stores, more variety, and a bit more energy in the service across certain shops would take this place from great to truly exceptional. You can feel the potential -- like the space could easily support a wider selection and a slightly more attentive customer experience. Still, what is there is solid, stylish, and worth the trip. The overall experience, the setting, and the convenience absolutely make it a 5-star destination. With just a few additions and improvements, it could be one of the best shopping hubs in all of NYC.

To get to the second floor there's an escalator which is nice but to get back down you have to take the stairs which you can imagine is not comfortable with a stroller.

Last year I took pictures of the tree and holiday decorations. The tables fill up at lunch time. People bring their lunch. They also have a wide selection of food choices in this atrium. It's nice to purchase and have a seat. It has always been clean when I visit. Same with the public restroom. And naturally they have free WiFi. I see people getting together to play cards, checkers and chess. It's a nice community gathering place. Great place to get indoors off the busy sidewalks. Quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend.

Friendly, welcoming and professional staff. Was directed to the samples table - tasted green and black teas; and bites of 2 japanese sweets: sakuragoromo (crepe with red bean paste and cherry blossom leaf), and chocolate mikasa (chocolate pancake with choc cream). Their products are beautifully displayed and packaged. Samples on display so can see what items are like. Prices vary. Sold in sets (would be good as gifts) and individual packs (for tasting; good for me bec. I would like to try different ones). Bought a choc mikasa $5 and kingyo $6.60 (white grape jelly; was just ok). It was also the last day for the winning confectionary art which will be returned to Japan the next day. Joined their rewards so can earn points towards $ off.

For my first introduction to wagashi, I visited their store when they were offering samples with tea tasting. Chocolate Dorayaki (chocolate ganache cream filling sandwiched between chocolate pancake) paired with roasted tea and Sakuragoromo (sweet red bean paste, Mochi rice cake and edible cherry blossom leaf covered with Japanese style crepe) paired with green tea. Each one cost $5-6.50ish. They have huge display cases with tons of varieties, but since I'm new to wagashi I would have also loved to see the treats displayed instead of relying on photos with descriptions. Their team is professionally dressed in branded uniforms and graciously ready to assist. I definitely need to dive deeper into this delicious world of Japanese delights. Looking at their menu I would love to try tosenka (whole rich white peach covered with juicy jelly, 1 piece $29), kurogoma daifuku (Black sesame paste wrapped with rice cake and black sesame seeds, $$4.70 1 piece), white peach mochi (19.80, 8 pieces) and many of their cakes!! Check out their online store if you cannot make it in person.
