I feel like Takashimaya has way too much real estate for the small amount of merchandise that they offer. The items are almost all high-end/high price tag. I have not been able ...

Editorial review from Citysearch 1/18/2013

I worked for Takashimaya and must say that it was heartbreaking when it closed it's doors. One of the greatest things that we were given in return of our hard work was the ability to make sure our clients were always satisfied and on behalf of myself the ability to wrap the traditional takashimaya way always and forever..... It is deeply missed and glad I came across this site to read the many kinds words shared knowing we done a good job. more

Another Beautiful Shopping Experience Gone 1/10/2012

Takashimaya closed its doors. What a heartbreak. The store was exquisite, sophisticated and quiet. No bling, no woman in dirty sneakers (or clean sneakers). Just high end clothing, sleepware, bedding, fragrances, makeup, giftware and the most heavenly place to tea. Now its Forever 21 which is primarily another name for discount Schlock. Even the GAP looks good in comparison. Forever 21, please die a slow and pennilless death. more

The most exquisite store in New York 2/8/2010

Although I've always ranked Bergdorf's & Barneys highest in my pantheon of shopping meccas, I may have to make a special emeritus place for Takashimaya. This is quite simply the most exquisite store in New York. The design sensibility is very Asian although they represent surprisingly few Asian designers (Yeoh Lee, Eun Hwa of Paris are only a handful). Most of the designers carried are European or French Canadian - I am NOT complaining! Everything here is exquisite. The look is discreet luxury - this is not the place to find gilded Versace or high-bling looks (which can be fun and have their place). Functional design, architectural nuance, textural wit - these are the hallmarks of the clothing and accessories Takashimaya carries. I can spend hours happily browsing this store. And the Tea Box cafe is an oasis of delicious foods and teas in the intensity of Manhattan. Pros: Extraordinary designs Cons: Smaller but exquisite selection more

Fab Merchandising, Lunch @ The Tea Room 5/2/2006

Exquisite merchandising - each floor different and equally as beautiful. Who needs to buy when you can window shop here! And don't miss the tea room in the basement. Expensive, but glorious food in a soothing atomosphere. Pros: Exquisite, Elegant, Unusual Cons: Expensive more

Valentines Day Misery!!!! 2/14/2006

My Boyfriend ordered roses and paid nearly $300 on Feb. 13th for V-day. On the 14th at 4:45pm they called and said that my BF had ordered flowers and their delivery guy was very close and begged me to wait for him. I sat in my office waiting and he didn't arrive, so I left the office at 6pm. The roses didn't arrive until the 15th at 3:30pm. My boyfriend was so upset and he told them that he would be paying for the flowers, I ended up getting an arrangement that was not even half the size it was supposed to be. He ordered from Takashimaya because of their reputation for high quality flowers, and beautiful and unusual arrnagements. Takashimaya is now the unreliable company that ruined my Valentines Day and sent me a dissapointing arrangement a day late. Cons: Unreliable- expensive, Low quality flowers, Bad Customer service more

best depaato in nyc 2/12/2006

Takashimaya has a beautiful assortment of antique, contemporary, Japanese and European things that you can eat, wear, look at and use. The service is also some of the best in the city. I recently spent an hour looking at makeup with Reiko - she was helpful and unpretentious. If not for yourself go there to get gifts. The wrapping and presentation is absolutely gorgeous. Pros: service, unique, variety Cons: expense more

TERRIBLE DELIVERY SERVICE 2/14/2005

Flowers that were supposed to be delivered on Valentine's Day never arrived. more

Beautiful! 6/30/2004

Takashimaya is such a gorgeous store with unique items and a dedicated staff. The store is small, so it is very easy to navigate, plus the Teabox Cafe on the bottom floor has the best lunch on 5th Avenue for a day of shopping; light yet filling and very delicious. Things are pretty expensive, but the quality and originality of their items are unmatched by any other department store in the city. Pros: Beautiful items, great cafe more

A little of Asia right here in NYC! 12/19/2002

who says NY only replicates quaint little shops of Europe. Takashimaya is the best! although a bit small, this store offers the best items and presents them all so beautifully. AND customer service is second to none. the staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. even their gift wrap is gorgeous! more

Mixed Feelings 12/19/2002

The merchandise was beautiful and beautifully displayed, however it was our misfortune to encounter the rudest sales person I have ever met. I left the store completely disillusioned because of it. I can find darling Japanese and high fashion things in other stores where they treat you much kinder Pros: unique items, beautiful layout Cons: rude employees more

Museum Quality but Purchasable 9/6/2002

My favorite store in New York City!!!! As an Interior Designer, my dream, a Client that wants me to design their entire home with all Takashimaya items. I spend a day browsing, shopping and lunching or taking tea after three each time I visit New York City. Pros: Unique, Classical, Understated elegance Cons: Not in Miami more

oasis on fifth 5/12/2002

How refreshing to spot an understated facade on Fifth Avenue. The entrance area for plants and ceramic flowerpots is fun to browse, and you can pick up nice gifts (many in the $50-$80 range) in the Tea Box downstairs. Try some emerald tea while you're there. This store is somewhat touristy, but a pleasure for anyone who appreciates Japanese aesthetics. more
