I first started shopping at Utsuwa-No-Yakata when they had a store in Kent, WA. When that closed,…read moreI was in such dismay missing the quality Japanese-ware at very reasonable costs. I was very delighted when I discovered the shop at Aberdeen Centre, with the same spread and even some high end items in the back. Awesome! I have quite a collection from this store. Mostly bowls of all sorts, different diameters, depths, and slope of walls that I use for salads, ramen, pasta, and serving bowls. I also have (too many) of their boxed small condiment bowls that I use for the dining table and for soaps and trinkets. They are so pretty with high quality glazes. I have an affinity for girly colors, which unfortunately, that selection is limited. The normal colors are blue with whites and dark shades, according to the sales lady. If they have a wider color palate, this would be a 5 stars experience for sure. They do have a couple that have pink cherry blossoms and/or bunnies. There's nothing like eating your meal from dishes that make you smile. I highly recommend this store. :) Check out the pieces in the back wall behind glass. They are for sale with prices to match the behind glass status. An exception is a few piggy-banks that are not piggy shape. Those would make nice gifts.

It is your 'Winners' for home type goods, and why my dear usually walks in here is really for the kitchen stuff. Located right in the front... right side, sometimes you got to scurry through the junk to find the prize. Being here, helping her look through a needle in a haystack... usually we come up empty handed, believe me when I say.. not all HomeSense stores carry the same goods.. this one is no different. Just know at these places, if your looking to furnish your home on a budget, you'll get away with some good prices, all it takes is some work on looking around on what you really like. If you need extra big pillows for the couch, some extra chairs, weird candle type holders, big decorative vases, etc... stop by here first before you like to go pay the 'fool's' price on those type of items. Last time we were here, we purchased some pretty cake stands, and if you need a comparison on prices and are weary... just remember there's a Home Outfitters just a walk away to see what you would really be paying for similar stuff.

It is an awesome place for anyone who likes to cook. We bought many pots and pans and other small kitchen tools here. These are generally simple in design, intended for professional use (therefore presumably durable), and good value. There is parking in the back alley.

Solid 3.5. A…read morerestauranteur's candy store, everything you need to start opening your own restaurant, though why would anyone do such a crazy thing is another story lol. From a consumer's point of view, it's kinda of hard to gauge pricing; though Rob was helpful, when you're talking about tens of thousands of dollars, it's best to shop around. For instance, I saw my dream machine, a commerical milkshake mixer to make 3 at a time---guess we're talking about a drive-thru style a la United States --- for $995. One note is the warranty is VOIDED if you use it for residential use; guess asking for the GST # or restaurant name would clear that up in a jiffy lol. Besides, one would want this as a write off but I digress. Walking in from 7th Ave. (there's also the Manitoba entrance) the non-equipment goodies will be on your right: dishware, uniforms, pots/pans, etc. To me, there are other places that are bigger and more selection than here. Either way, they're geared towards restaurants/bakeries.

This Williams Sonoma is almost identical to what's in the states except it's more expensive…read more I wasn't greeted coming in and walked around to see if anything called to me and was unique enough to pay taxes for when I flew back. The only thing I saw that I loved was an amazing heart cutting board that was exactly what I wanted, but a quick check confirmed it was cheaper and in sold in the US so I didn't splurge. Overall, exactly like any other WS you might walk into, except slightly less friendly.

The other companies were smooth talkers but it was The Brick that really came through for us. We saw their "comfort guarantee " on TV and they were true to their word. We exchanged our first mattress that didn't meet our needs for one that worked for us, and they even up-graded us to the new model at no extra charge. Good folks! Fair prices (if not better better than fair), great service and a very competent and friendly delivery crew. If you need a little extra help and are in the Richmond store, ask for one of the managers, Ram. A good guy who knows his products.

"FAKE Invoice" & "FAKE Tent Sale" Concerns -- The "Greatest FAKE Brick"(Richmond, BC)…read more I'm sharing a friend's experience so other customers can be cautious. During a recent purchase, my friend learned that the extended warranty is optional, yet the sales consultant (Alia) presented it as though it were required and "FREE". In negotiations, my friend felt pressured to add the warranty with a promise it would be "cashed back" after three years. This felt misleading and not transparent. Invoice accuracy: the delivery fee appeared as $89 when the correct amount should have been $44.50. Careful review caught the discrepancy and prevented overpayment. Other concerns: my friend was told to cancel a so-called "fake invoice" (an unusual term we haven't encountered elsewhere) and was urged to leave a 10% hold-back/deposit. There was also a "FAKE tent sale" promotion that, in my friend's view, didn't align with the pricing discussed. Tips for customers: ***Be cautious of sales tricks designed to pressure you -- remember, the money is in your control ***The warranty is optional not "FREE". If you consider it, get all promises (e.g., "cash back in 3 years") in writing. ***Verify every line of the invoice (prices, fees, delivery) before paying. ***Avoid any deposit/10%hold-back until the invoice exactly matches the agreed terms. ***If unusual terms like "fake invoice" are mentioned, ask for a written explanation and keep copies of all documents. Overall: Shop at "The FAKE Brick (Richmond, BC)" carefully, take your time go to other Furniture Stores and be alert if they put pressure into extras. Always double-check the paperwork before you leave.
