Muji is always filled with neat items you never knew you needed and/or wanted. Chances are, you'll enter without any shopping plans and then leave with a bag full of clothes and home goods. I generally find their clothes to be well-made and not dated. Maybe the color selection isn't always the most vibrant, but that's okay. When I visited, there were some sales going on which was perfect though the prices seem reasonable in general. What wasn't great was their system going down just when I was about to pay. Not the biggest deal since there were other ways to kill time in Williamsburg before coming back but still a little inconvenient. The staff were friendly and easy to interact with. read more

Muji is like my second Teso Life, the only difference is that Muji doesn't sell blind boxes (sadly ). It's a shame there aren't more Muji stores around the Tri-State, so having one in Williamsburg feels like a small win. This location is your typical Muji size: compact, clean, and well-organized. It's on ground level and easy to browse through. I do find the Hudson Yards location larger and more spread out, but this one makes the most of its space. When you first walk in, you're greeted by the stationery section, neat rows of pens, notebooks, and writing accessories that are always tempting. To the left, you'll find the home section stocked with cleaning supplies, linens, slippers, and dishware. A few steps up takes you to the apparel area, along with accessories, skincare, and other small lifestyle products. I usually stop by for their pens, smooth, consistent, and great quality, and their notebooks, which come in a variety of sizes and textures. Everything here has that simple, calming Muji aesthetic that makes even the most practical items feel special. It's a cozy, well-kept location that captures the essence of Muji perfectly: minimalist, functional, and quietly charming. read more

I always love stopping in to Muji when I'm in NYC! Similar to IKEA but on a much smaller scale at this store, you can find kitchenware, clothing, organization tools, bedroom and bathroom items, and stationary here. If I was stocking a house from scratch, this would 100% be where I would go to get plates, organizational tools, and items for the bathroom and kitchen. Alas, I am not and have to pack a carry-on to fly home, so I bee-line straight for the stationary. Their displays of stationary are so satisfying and I can never help myself! This time, I picked up a handful of markers, pens, and highlighters - plus some post-it notes and sticky tabs. The price on the stationary is quite reasonable, but I find some of the organizational acrylic items to be a bit pricier. The clothing isn't my style, but they have some great basics available. I found the service at the front to be helpful and efficient during checkout. Always a fun stop to peruse and get inspiration for home items! read more

When I told my friend from Nepal that I got my pens from Muji, she burst into laughter. Turns out, "Muji" means something quite different (and not exactly flattering) in her language. But hey, cultural quirks aside, I love Muji! This particular Muji is alright. You can find just about anything you need, but I have to admit, I prefer the one in Manhattan. The Manhattan location has more floors, which means more to explore. This one feels like the CliffsNotes version of that Muji, with a smaller diffuser section and a more sparse clothing selection, though still substantial. Overall, this Muji is a solid spot for your minimalist needs, just not as expansive as its Manhattan counterpart. For that, I'll place my funky Yelp star at the "Good" indicator. read more

Muji - Department Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

"I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so" (The Vapors) Ever hear of Muji? I hadn't until a few days ago when we saw one while wandering through Williamsburg Brooklyn. Now I've learned the chain was founded in Japan in 1980, and they sell a huge variety of household goods, kitchenware, health and beauty aids, writing supplies (think pads and colorful gel pens), clothing, and food. There are over 1,000 MUJI stores on Planet Earth that sell over 7,000 items! They're named after the Japanese phrase "Mujirushi Ryohin" which roughly translates into "no-brand quality goods." They sell No Frills, simple, utilitarian stuff. So don't expect to see any fancy pants pretentious logo endorsed brands here. They have their own minimalist spin on marketing and consumerism, replacing "This is what I really want" with "This will do." We had a blast wandering through the store and I walked out with a nice blue plaid flannel shirt for $20 and a Hot and Sour soup mix for $6. Now I'm a fan! read more

Muji = IKEA + Uniqlo + Stationary Store/Japanese Target I always love Muji's array of pens and stationary. I've been a loyal Muji shopper ever since I could remember (at least 5 years ago+). They also sometimes have cute clothes inspired by Japanese styles which are usually more loose fitting - I would say some do the clothes are also similar to Uniqlo styles with basics ranging from pants, shorts, sweaters, shirts, jackets, etc. Many people have said all of these products from Japan, which is partially true. Many of the products are unfortunately made in other countries such as Vietnam or Indonesia... so it's hard to justify spending $70 on a clothing item. Service is also a bit cold here with some staff members. It's a hit or miss based on who you get. Some greet you and try to be helpful, while some are very aloof. I'm a regular at Muji regardless, coming here at least 1-2 times a month. read more

Muji is to Asia what IKEA is to Sweden. Think one space, providing all of your clothing and household needs at a low price range and with minimalism in mind. I used to shop Muji when I worked in the city many years ago and hadn't seen another since. I was working close by this location and taking walk and happened upon the store. I purchased 3 pair of work pants that were together right under $100 on sale. I spent another 15 mins just carousing. I could have easily walked out with a travel size suitcase and 50 household items I didn't know I needed until I saw their take on it. Everything from wet and dry floors cleaners to bed linen, storage items to kitchen utensils. Again, these items are designed with minimalism in mind so think either one item that has 5 uses or 5 ways you can use them. I'd say that clothing items are the most interesting as they can be used across genders. Customer service is typical to the industry. Most of the workers were behind the desk or in huddles with each other but seen as though this is sort of a grab and go of self explanatory items it didn't change the experience. read more

bought holiday gifts asked for receipt to be emailed it was never received need to exchange size and so I called muji and was told that they cannot help me EVEN WITH THE EXACT TIME DATE AND CARD NUMBER of the purchase, Every other store in the world can look it up with just the card number now calling card co to dispute the charge this is an awful situation with complete disrespect for the customer read more

I have been a loyal customer at migi over the years however I was in the Brooklyn store and noticed that the stairs down to the homewear section had suitcases stacked so you couldn't use the banister, I pointed this out to a member of staff who basically told me to F$&k off even after I explained that this was not ok with the ADA I am disabled and have problems with stairs. No big deal I just won't shop at mugi again read more

I went in here to shop for my girlfriend, but geez everyone was so rude?!? except this one girl she was really nice. I asked about a tshirt and she helped me find it but cashing out and another coworker were all whispering. I felt paranoid. and when I paid with cash and the associate cashing me out returned my change they threw it towards me and the coins all fell off the side of the desk. read more

There's a lot of bad reviews for Muji Williamsburg and I wish I listened and went somewhere else. I went to Muji giving them the benefit of the doubt and was lied to and stollen from. On Saturday the 7th I brought my bff who's never been to muji and bought lots of favs including an on sale item an item that was on the clearance rack. There was a bunch of pj tops (on sale because there was no matching bottom and the color and fabric was last season) on the rack and so I picked a light blue one. The rack said all items on this rack received an extra 40% off! Score! I made my purchases and we went on to a long day of being a tourist. BUT when I got home I realized Muji charged the full amount for the pajama top as if it was a set of pajamas and no extra discount. Ok so they made a mistake, mistakes happen. I think maybe I would catch it if the screen had an itemized display but their display is small, lags and is difficult to see for someone with disabilities. On Sunday, my last day of the trip, I called them up to see what could be done. I had a birthday party to go to and ABSOLUTELY no time to go back to the store. They said the only way to fix it was to physically come into the store with the card. :( This is so disappointing! What if I had already left the state? They found my receipt, knew what went wrong and told me they would fix it no problem right when I got there so I wouldn't have to wait in line. They also told me I didn't have to bring in the shirt which was nice because I didn't want to carry the pajama shirt everywhere I went. This is pretty upsetting because that means if I have flew back home and realizes what happened, they would have just stolen 34 bucks from me. Having to come into the store also meant I would miss the first hour of the party, but it was the only option because sorry, I'm not a millionaire and can't afford something that should be 20 dollars and pay the full price of 54 for a sale item. I get there and the person who I talked to on the phone her name started with a V was ready to help me. But then she said that I couldn't get the addition 40% off discount. I thought this was weird. It was on the rack. And it was upsetting because not only did they make a mistake, not be able to fix it over the phone, meaning I had to take the subway an HOUR to get to the store, be late to the party, I was also now being lied to and scammed. So they brought out another manager, I was relieved, but then he wouldn't tell me his name which I thought was really strange. He asked me to go in front of the desk so now I couldn't see the computer screen. The manager became really confrontational saying that the pajama top was in the wrong spot and couldn't get an extra discount. He continued to say it wasn't his fault the pajama top was in the wrong area. But as a shop keeper it actually IS his responsibility to put items where they belong and label them correctly. It was not my responsibility as a customer. I've been a manager of a retail store before and honestly I've seen it all -and this was a really easy fix. And I was upset because they refused to be empathic at all. But being a manager in the past, I didn't scream, throw things, or call names cause that's unacceptable. Still this managers, only response was to police my tone saying that if I was nice he would have helped me. I can't help but wonder that if I was not a woman of color, I probably would have been treated differently. He took zero responsibility or accountability for his actions and had no empathy what so ever. He refused to call his manager or give me his name or give me his managers name. Which again, suspicious. He said the best he could do was give me 20% off the sale price which was 50% off (because again it was half of a pajama set) so 70% off -Fine. I am still being scammed -it should be 40% off as advertised but I said fine because I didn't want to spend any more time being berated. I told him the only name I had was the name on the receipt the first person who made the mistake a woman who's name started with A and I didn't think it was fair for them to be responsible for his actions -then he told me his name was "Saul" and was the "visuals manager". I took a picture of him because who knows if that's really his name but not posting here out of decency. On my flight back looked at the receipt to write all this and "Saul" only did the return with the 50% off price and only 10% off instead of 20 that he promised. He lied to my face. It makes sense why he was so secretive about his name. He was clearly doing something wrong and knew it and enjoyed lying, arguing and tone policing a woman of color. People deserve better than this. There were so many opportunities to make it right and instead it was more important to Muji to rip off the customer than have integrity. Muji if you are ok as a business with your employees treating people like this then shame on you. read more

It was such a good trip to Muji! The staff were so nice to us and the robot coffee machine was so fun to watch!

Horrible customer service. Arrogant, smug, unhelpful. Unreasonable return policy requesting card used for purchase, which is not stated on the receipt. Had my wife return an item I bought, even with sending her the picture of the card no return possible. read more

The security guard was standing at the front door the entire time. As soon as my friend and I walked in, they started to follow us (and only us) throughout the entire store, peeking at the end of every aisle we went into. I quickly realized this was probably because we were the only people of color present. The security guard themselves was a person of color, so this truly made no sense and made us feel extremely uncomfortable the entirety of our stay. read more

Store is very clean. All products are from Japan. Highly recommend especially Stationary goods. Some products don't have price at all. Very quiet store. Relaxing energy. No judgement vibes. :) read more

Love this store. It has really great stuff. Going there again tomorrow. Great cotton tee shirts, hats, bags.

This store is always kept clean and the workers are respectful and always helpful. They really do the most to get what I need.

Cute store that is stocked with mostly items from Japan. Good selection of stationary, pens, and notebooks. I also liked their minimalist packaging for hygiene essentials - under their own brand. I bought the oil cleanser, here's hoping it's a decent dupe for DHC. I did notice that most of the clothing was made in Thailand, not Japan. I would come back for the home goods and paper products. Everything was clean and tidy. read more

This is one of my favorite Muji locations in the city. It's a stone's throw away from great ice cream (Van Leeuwen's AND OddFellows!!) and great food (Smorg, hello?!) In fact, I love coming here post-Smorg to cool down on their beanbag chairs-- not a lifehack, just trying to keep it real. I'll detract one star because they never have my favorite rice crackers in stock. read more

If you've been to one Muji, you've pretty much been to them all. This location here is much the same, but possibly a bit larger than other stores nearby. All the snacks, clothing, room humidifiers, luggage, etc... that you've come to know them for is here at ground level, and the check out process is just fine. They need to re-stock more often, but besides that I'm down with a Williamsburg outpost just off the ferry line. read more

Good selection at this location and perfect if you need to pick up a quick gift for a friend.

Muji - Store hours as of Oct. 18, 2017 - Department Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Prior reviews seemed to have honed in on the store's awkward opening period in this area. Over the 2017 winter holidays, I had no problems shopping here. In fact, the store is quite pleasant and the workers are very helpful. This store borders on a Japanese Ikea with clothes (for lack of better comparison). I am most familiar with this store at the Jetblue terminal at JFK and also at the Garden State Mall in New Jersey. I have not had any of the problems that others have commented on regarding delayed openings. I am glad this store is in Brooklyn North, just wish there was more in Brooklyn Central! read more

The manager wouldn't give me a refund or exchange on a faulty .49 cent ball point pen refill. Like, wow. Cheap AF and pathetic.

Went to Muji on the way home tonight to pick up a few things. Stood in line ( which happened to be the wrong end of the line for ages - asked the guy with the glasses and beanie if someone could serve us - anyone would think I had asked for his first born as he hissed and carried on - this is the service industry no one needs your bad attitude - and mumbling under your breath as you stand at the door is disgusting - your service sucked and your attitude sucked even more - no wonder buying on line has become a big thing - Covid and service from the likes of YOU ! And if I didn't have my kids with me I would have told you too your face - very rude read more

Hi, I don't have another way to get in touch with your store before opening other than here. I picked up my embroidery tonight from your store. When I got home, after you closed, I saw that it was embroidered on the backside rather than the front, where it is correctly depicted on the receipt/drawing. I placed the order on Saturday with the caveat that it needed to be done by Wednesday night because I would be leaving town. What can you do to get this fixed by tomorrow night? Thanks. read more

I hated the experience. Holiday sales had the place well decorated. Full of schlock. Couldn't breath. Had to get out of there.

I had an excellent experience with the MUJI Williamsburg store. My son wanted a piece of MUJI luggage for Christmas. I live in southern California and wanted to order it online and have him pick it up at the Williamsburg store but store pickup was not available. So I called the Williamsburg store directly and though it's not their practice, the manager, John, allowed me purchase it over the phone. My son was able to pick it up the next day so he could use it for his holiday trip. My son loves his new MUJI carryon. Customer service is a lost art and few companies value its importance and allow their employees to go the extra mile for customers like John did. I will be looking for other opportunities to shop at MUJI. Thank you, John! read more

Great products, but Muji has very serious inventory management problems. Items are often out of stock and they are not reliable in finding items at other stores. I trekked from Manhattan to Willamsburg because they claimed an item was available at this store, but to no avail. Floor staff are often clueless, engaged in side banter, and do not know their product lines. read more

Maybe my review isn't fair considering its holiday time and some employees may be seasonal and not as invested as permanent staff. I went in looking for a item when friends told me they may carry it. I looked on my own and couldn't find what I was looking for. I asked one of the staffers on the floor and all I can get was "did you see it over there? No? so we dont have it". It didnt appear to have a sarcastic tone but why ask me if I seen it instead of communicating with your colleagues or looking into it yourself? If I saw it....why would I ask you. Lol. read more

Muji- you think organized, quick, and pleasant. I just went into muji and was looking for two pairs of underwear simple... size XL. They only had S and XS and mediums out in the entire section of men's underwear. I thought this was strange so I asked if a sales associate to look for my size. Again muji you think organized and fast. It took maybe 15 min for him to come back to me and tell me they didn't have any underwear my size. I scoffed in sorta a disappointed way but nothing offensive. I took the two pairs of socks that I had been holding and tossed them down on the counter. The manager, a woman with an obvious attitude didn't even wait for me to walk 5 steps away before mocking me and imitating me in a completely exaggerated way throwing the socks across the counter as if I did that when it's not what I did at all. I saw her do it so I turned around and said "I'm sorry did I bother you by being a customer?" She looked down and said nothing... I have worked in corporate customer service and I will tell you something. This was one of the most immature interactions I have ever had shopping. Couldn't even say sorry. Get your shit together muji. read more

I do not recommend going into this place at night, the muted colors and soft music will make you ready to slumber, get on some organic cotton pajamas, a neutral comforter and tatami and you're all set.
