Fab Merchandising, Lunch @ The Tea Room
by lilybart80 at Citysearch
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
Unusual and exotic items for the Eastern-influenced cosmopolite.

The Scene
This Osaka-based retailer's store is compact, assertively stylish and loaded with neat stuff. Six floors, stocked with everything from green seaweed flakes to chic clothing to fresh flowers, keep browsers rapt for hours. First-floor art installations reinforce the idea of store as cultural experience.
The Goods
Gadget freaks gravitate toward the second-floor array of shiny cameras and trendy sunglasses, while beauty aficionados swoon over prestige brands like Czech & Speake nestled up against off-beat products like Eau de Botot (billed as the world's first mouthwash, invented in 1755). Survey the lifestyle you so richly deserve on the home furnishings floor. Then pop down to the basement to buy tea accessories and take refreshment at the Tea Box Cafe.
Valentines Day Misery!!!!
by jennyj78 at Citysearch
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
best depaato in nyc
by rakucha at Citysearch
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
TERRIBLE DELIVERY SERVICE
by jianni at Citysearch
Flowers that were supposed to be delivered on Valentine's Day never arrived.
Beautiful!
by jessjessjessi at Citysearch
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
A little of Asia right here in NYC!
by Ruthie at Citysearch
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!
Mixed Feelings
by amber07 at Citysearch
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
Museum Quality but Purchasable
by Suger9 at Citysearch
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
oasis on fifth
by KarenHudes_Citysearch at Citysearch
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.
