Pearl Market is the Chinatown equivalent of a shopping mall. Pearl Market a staple in chinatown and often browsed by tourits. While they do have the items that are touristy and cheesy they also have some really good steals and finds. They also have many items at some very cheap prices.

I love to stop in at Pearl River Mart because I feel like I'm taking a trip to the orient. They have all kinds of good things for your home like housewears and furniture and bamboo plants and lanterns. Their prices are fair to expensive - you could probably do better in Chinatown but the merchandise is high quality and probably you're paying for the neighborhood rent. I highly recommend stopping in when you're around there. It's fun!

It's a lot of fun to shop through Pearl River Mart. Their two floors are packed with great stuff for your home or gifts. Beautiful bamoo flower pattern dishes, potted plants, fans, paper lanterns, samurai swords - all this can be found within the store. The prices are not really cheap, but the merchandise is of good quality. Oh, I almost forgot: they have furniture too!

At its new location in Soho, Pearl River Mart offers everything that you can associate with Asia. A true Asian store, it sells products that not even Chinatown may carry. They offer a range of kay pole (traditional Chinese dress) in a variety of color. There must be one that you would like. As well, they carry tradtional chinese slippers, dishes, umbrellas, toys, food, papers, etc. Well, lets just say, if youre looking for something traditional Asian, this is a one stop shopping destination.

Consider this place the oriental version of a shopping mall only with better prices and more oriental knick knacks. They have great gift items that are cheaply priced and often very kooky and original. I love coming here to buy gigapets for my cousins. They also sell these great rose and sandalwood scented soaps wrapped in beautiful oriental wrapping for a dollar.

Pearl River Mart is truly a wonderful place to shop for all those nick nacks that you would expect to find in Chinatown as well some slightly higher end items like tea kettles. I agree that the new location is not as good but it still is a neat place to visit that my wife is irresistable drawn to. Even if she does not buy, she come out of the store happier for seeing what they have there - like a Chinatown window shopper.

The earlier incarnation of the Pearl River Mart was a few blocks down Broadway in Chinatown, and years away in ambiance. It was a well known secret among, well, those who know all the secrets. You went up a flight of stairs and stumbled into what seemed like a Chinese supermarket undisturbed (and undusted) for decades. There were noodles and tea and condiments and cookies and other comestibles impossible to determine, their labels bearing no english except the requisite label indicating how many calories and grams of fat they might include. There were row upon row of tea pots and sake sets, the ceiling was hung with paper lanterns and umbrellas, and the aisles were too narrow for two people to negotiate. Flash forward to the new Pearl River Mart, a well-lit, multi-level emporium selling the same stuff but with a dash of marketing savvy and, no doubt, a serious consultation with a feng shui master. The front of the store is a sea of brightly colored silk and rayon clothing for the whole family liberally dotted with accessory tables. Downstairs the food and lanterns and umbrellas and china via for attention with portable fountains, baskets, slippers. It's packed on weekends but worth a little jostling if your taste runs to origami colors and Asian spice.

On the one hand, Pearl River Mart sells Westernized Chinese souvenirs, including traditional dresses and decorations with Chinese calligraphy, to tourists in Soho. On the other hand, it offers Hello Kitty cushions and the like to teenager girls with native Asian hearts. This is a good place for gifts. It also has some cute lamps.

Pearl River mart has lots of Chinese products, including food, teas, dishes, clothes, kitchen supplies, etc. It used to be a real Chinese department store and it was really fun to go up its crowded floors at canal and broadway. Now they have a huge spacious store and some of the same products, but none of the charm and none of the Chinese customers. Its still inexpensive and still has some good stuff.

Pearl River offers an assortment of imported Asian products. Everything from clothing, to stationary, and even ancient weapons. This is probably the biggest well known shop for imported Asian products here in New York City. If you like collecting such products, this is the place to be. They have two locations, one in broadway and the other in Canal Street. Both are tourist districts so expect it to be crowded. The prices might be slightly higher too due to the tourist volume, but that's only my guess.
