Review from John S.
Los Angeles, CA
Updated - 1/9/2012
I love Uniqlo so much... "how much" you ask? So much that for my recent weekend trip to NYC, it came down to two hotels and I chose the eventual winner because it was only 1/2 a mile away from this store. The fact that it was also cheaper and better reviewed might have factored into the equation as well, but let's not dwell on such vulgar things as money and creature comforts.
Seeing as I rarely venture into cold weather climates, I arrived in the city on Friday morning, threw on four layers of CA climate clothing and ran over to Uniqlo for some proper gear. Outfitted myself with thermals, a scarf and a killer pea coat, for a very reasonable price. In particular, the pea coat is perfectly cut with a slim silhouette and although I can't imagine I'll wear it more than once or twice a year in LA, I'm already practicing my scoffing when locals here will invariably ask me where I got it.
Peon: "Hey, hey, dog... where'd you get that coat?"
Me: "SCOFFFF!!!!" *yes, I still scoff onomatopoeically*Listed in: NYC Days and Nights

The only thing I like about Uniqlo are their thermals and cheap throw-around cashmeres. Yes, the clothes is priced at a lower price point and customers seem to enjoy that... but let's talk about quality people. This stuff won't last you more than one season! I DO enjoy that their pants come with free hemming (great for us petite ladies out there). I DONT enjoy the long lines, hot temperatures, massive crowds and everything kind of looking the same.
Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather purchase clothing that lasts and doesn't feel like fine sandpaper. -

All I have to say is...OVERRATED.
This store is huge, it's well lit, and there's a bunch of hip music making you feel very trendy shopping here.
Despite all of this, this import-brand just looks cheap and the prices are somewhere between high and affordable fashion. It's like a more expensive H&M, without any discernible improvement in quality. I get that this store probably pushed through a ton of inventory of a day, but stacks upon stacks of shirts or ties looks cheap for me, and all of the plastic wrap around their tees makes it feel mass-produced, thus not justifying the price.
I guess it's a Japanese thing that I won't get. But guess what, I'm Japanese too! Jokes on you, the reader, for reading all of this! -

Some of their styles I am not a fan of, but generally the clothes are good.
More pricey than H&M and Old Navy, but the quality is a little higher.

My only complaint is that I can't buy more! Good thing there was a sale going on last time I went....scarf as long as I am tall for 9 instead of 30 and peacoats that were 170 for 40.
I love their shirts because they are so soft. I want to buy one of their underarmor like shirts or pants someday, but I'm never in the need for them when I'm there nor are they never on good enough of a sale for me to just buy them. -

I expected more from this location. Everything looks organized and clean and super BRIGHT. (I wonder what their electric bill is.) The prices here bother me and I don't know why.
I can understand a few dust bunnies here and there. It's a big store. I'm sure the cleaning crew comes in a few times a week to do their thing. Someone needs to take a look at the stairs and give them a good scrubbing because they are FILTHY. What really gets to me is the drinking fountain by the restrooms. It looks like it was stolen from an abandoned hospital. Rings of grime and hair and who knows what else greet you when you lean over expecting cool water. Ugh.
3 stars for the overall layout & pleasant staff

The Soho Uniqlo is less overwhelming than the giant 5th Avenue spaceship - erm, I mean flagship - store. But what it lacks in size & grandeur, it makes up in ease & comfort. It doesn't seem to have the volume of tourist traffic that the 5th Ave shop has, and that alone makes it a necessary stop - especially if you're a local New Yorker.
If you're not convinced, the seemingly impossibly low prices and bright colors should lure you in. I'm a huge fan of the complimentary pants alterations. The stretchy jeans I bought from Uniqlo fit perfectly, and months later, they're still my favorite pants. They're super comfortable and haven't lost any shape or stretch. My boyfriend loves their v-neck sweaters, which are warm, light, and stylish. It's really a great "basics" store.
Are you still reading? Unbelievable. Go! Shop! Stock up! -

I have a Uniqlo addiction. On my last trip to NY, I went to a Uniqlo store 5 times in 2 weeks. Is this normal?????
And every time, I find something at Uniqlo that I want.
While people are undoubtedly going to be drawn the massive (and gorgeous) global flagship store on 5th, I still like this Uniqlo because I'm pretty sure this is the store where they keep all their final sale/clearance items.
Where else are you going to buy tees for $3? -

I love Uniqlo! This store is what H&M was 10 years ago- reasonably priced, well-made pieces in classic designs that I can wear to work or out on the town. And they don't fall apart after a year or two.
The store's usually busy (I come to this one when I'm in the area) but staff is pretty good about getting you what you need. I bought a few pairs of jeans and some socks here recently. The fitting room staff was nice enough, but you definitely are going to have to ask for different sizes if you need them- it's usually busy and There's usually a long line at checkout but it moves fairly quickly.
Since there's no Chicago location, I always come to this one when I'm visiting NYC and want to stock up on quality basics. -

I recently moved to NY, hailing from warmer weather I needed to update my wardrobe to withstand the "new cold" and relatively cheaply as it was such a large upgrade. Enter Uniqlo. It's the right size (except for the pants, however I have problems with pants full stop in America, fit's in the waist, however ridiculously oversized in the leg) for petite's, and is incredibly comfortable wearing. I bought five heat generating long sleeved tops (equivalent to thermals) at $12.90 ea and they go under all my work and casual garments. They withstand the laundrymat (another NY phenomena for me) and really keep my vitals warm. Not to mention they smooth over bumps and lumps, a unrealised bonus at the time of purchase. I also have sensitive skin and most of their materials don't bother it.
Great clothing store for layering and basics. It fills in between my second hand boutique purchases that I love from the Village. -

Japan's GAP comes to America with a big splash. I'm not a huge fan of all of the clothes here but if you like cashmere sweaters then this is your place. The cashmere alone gets this place 4 stars especially at the price they offer the sweaters. Not to mention the sweaters come in every color imaginable.
The rest of the clothes are "meh" decent I suppose. If you like the gap, Banana Republic or H&M then this is your place. -

Although I live in Atlanta I've probably been here at least 4 times in the last 2 years. I even checked out Uniqlo while in Tokyo (it has similar stuff). Why do I make an effort to come here? I like their jeans , the fit me well, good quality and a fair price. I usually buy my socks, boxers and undershirts here. And most recently I bought a pair of wool slacks for work. Yes, the clothing is usually pretty basic, but like I said it's a fair price and good quality. My wife loves coming here because 1. she's Japanese and 2. she can actually find her size (as you'd imagined she's petite) and 3. they accept JCB.
To the complainers I say "don't shop here". You're in NYC, there are 10,000 other places you can go to, walk down to Canal St or something, just stop your bitching.
Wish they had a store in Atlanta, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. I'll just continue making trips here when I visit my parents. Oh, be warned, Uniqlo seems like it's always packed, always. So if you don't like crowds you may want to rethink coming here. However, if you're into Asian girls (or guys) this could be a good pick up place, but I wouldn't know.Listed in: Life on the road

Lived in NYC for three years. You might complain about this place because it's busy but then you're really doing it wrong. Great store. Perfect for t-shirts, jeans, anything you want to rock without a brand that will look clean. My favorite pair of pants are from here and were like $20. This is that place where you can pick up all the basics. They have every color, size, and style of jeans/pants you could think of and a great sale rack and by far the best place to buy v-necks/tees (they're $5). If you're one of those this-is-too-cheap-for-me-and-I'm-too-cool-to-shop- at-cheap-places kind of people, obviously you won't want to shop here lol. If you like looking good though and not spending all of your money on clothes, get the basics here and your "pieces" from your favorite brands.

Went here 'cause someone who is not me got advertised to enough that it was decided that a "Heattech" t-shirt was a must for winter.
This isn't the location that just had the Grand Opening, but boy, it was still crowded! Lots of human logjams by said t-shirts. Lots and lots of Japanese and French was being spoken. (Japanese makes sense; it's a Japanese store, I think the French might have been because of the Statue of Liberty's 125th celebrations?) It's laid out very confusingly - it was very hard to figure out which sections were men's, and where coats might be found... it all seemed kinda mixed up, intentionally.
The advertised sale items are indeed very cheap, but all the other items aren't so much. It's midrange clothing, at midrange prices. The store reminded us of a higher-end version of H&M. Lots of basics, nothing really remarkably stylish or unusual-looking. Looking through the racks, I had doubts about how durable a lot of the items would be. It remains to be seen if the Heattech shirts live up to their advertising... will "Japan Technology" let us down, or no? -

I fly from California to New York just to shop at Uniqlo.
I even flew from California to China just to shop at their Uniqlos as well, but it turns out that even the flagship store at Sanlitun Village in Beijing doesn't carry cashmere or selvedge jeans like the NYC stores do.
If you haven't already, you should read last year's feature in New York magazine on the rise of Uniqlo:
http://nymag.com/fashi...
There's something about a mass-market retailer whose emphasis is on fabric -- and not on style -- that's won me over completely.
Now, if Uniqlo would only come to San Francisco... -

I love the leggings and tights in all their variations and combinations: heattech/ cooltech; the knit/ thick/ warm ones, the thin nylon type. The tights are better than the ones I used to get at Macy's. So durable. When leggings + tunic were in fashion, I had a couple of pairs that I wore practically every day and just rinsed out and rotated for over a year until they finally tore. I recently restocked when the new Uniqlo opened on 53rd and 5th and they had promotions at all their stores. It's too bad they don't come in nude (or I didn't see them)! I have them in black.
Most of their clothes (including the leggings) are not for my body type. They need more curvy/ pear clothes! I do have a +J dress which fits well. -

Nice clothes, good prices.
I discovered this place a few years ago before the rest of the world went nuts for it and made it impossible to get in the front door. They have a lot of classic pieces that are always good to have. The store is massive, so plan to spend some time there.
The line for the dressing room is always painful, but I seem to recall that if you find a pair of pants you want, they will alter them for you for free, which is a nice feature. They have good stuff for both men and women, and it is cut a lot better than the stuff at H&M where you have to be 6''2 and German to wear it. Also it doesn't have that wash it once and it will never fit again quality of some other stores. -

I shopped here once and enjoyed the experience. They're a mix between JCrew, Gap, and H&M. It's quite affordable (H&M price range), but they have a pricier area within the store.
The sales were amazing when I went. $15 cardigans! -

If you have an Asian body type like me, where your hip to waist ratio is like 1:1, then Uniqlo is where you need to go to buy jeans and pants. Normally I can never find anything that doesn't either dig into my belly or hang too loose around the butt or isn't so low rise that I'm worried about baring my crack every time I bend over. The bottoms at Uniqlo fit me perfectly, and I was so happy to stumble into the one in SoHo on a business trip!
That said, this is the kind of place where you get boring basics. The items haven't changed much since I was last there in the Tokyo store in 2007. So don't expect to find the latest fashion trends here.
P.S. I also swear by the bras here .... Padded, no underwire, so comfy ... -

Upon entry, the eyes are treated to an assortment of colors with bright lights.
It does get quite crowded in the afternoons and weekends since it's so popular.
The prices are decent. Occasionally, there are specials / sales going on for specific items. If you like them, best to stock up on them.
Overall, clothes are comfortable and good looking. -

I love the quality of their clothes. I used to buy novelty t shirts for my ex from here. No matter how many times he's washed them over the years, the shirts I bought him still feel soft. =)
Without a fail, for every future trip I make out to NY, I will be back at this store for a nice shopping spree.
*They also do free tailoring on all pants that you buy from them. It usually takes 2 hours. Woot. -

I only buy one thing from Uniqlo - pants.
Not that I don't like what they sell, I just can't fit their XS tops- its still a tad big for me.
PANTS, though, is a different story. I like Uniqlo for one reason - free alterations on any pants - even the ones on sale for $9.99. I'm very short so this really works out for me. The associates help you pin your pants when you're in the dressing room. If you get it altered in the morning, you can usually get it picked up that night, if not - it should be ready the next day.
However, I have noticed that the pants on sale are usually terrible quality (which I guess, makes sense). Their jeans have serious crocking issues, not sure what Uniqlo's quality assurance team is smoking.... -

I LOVE JILL SANDER--when I learned she had a line for career-persons, if you will, at UNIQLO, I partied like Oprah on a crash diet. Yeah...my basket brimmed with monochromatic pieces. Some of my favorite LBDs also hail from UNIQLO.
The jackets and skirts were pretty decent for the price--something to tide you over if tailored stuff at the dry cleaners. Shockingly enough, didn't look as cheap as they were. I really appreciate the lighter fabric as most decent looking skirt suits are heavy. I got three skirt suits here with lightweight fabric (perfect for oppressively humid Houston and its decadently cruel summers) for like $30-something a piece. I also got several three-quarter-length white business shirts for $15/each so I can fake it under my suit in this horrible heat.
I think this place does free hemming. I'm not a NYC denizen and don't have time to stick around, but if I did, I can imagine that would be convenient. At the same time, this place is a great fit for petite women. I'm 5'3 and 115 lbs so I'm used to shortening things up...no problems here, everything fit fine. Sleeves not too long, etc.Listed in: Itchin' 4 Hell's Kitchen, NYC

Uniqlo is a great source of basic necessities...from jackets to underwear, even darn comfy slippers. Something about the japanese designs that are very appealing. It is probably the minimalistic look in everything, they do not have anything wrinkled or anything that looks too busy. The mannequins have great style to them, the "stylist" (is that what they're called?), a great inspiration to how you can dress their clothing. Legit, you can build a million different outfits from their clothing, very easy to mix and match. Also, the interior of the store is very unique, ...pretty freaken nice for a retail store; sorta reminds me of the apple stores (the glass and all that fancy but simple stuff)
However...there are some more personal issues i have with this soho one. The air conditioning, never seem to be working. When i'm trying on some jeans or a shirt, i end up sweating quite a bit... (after waiting on line and taking clothes on and off..on and off). Although it varies from person to person, i'm sure i wasn't the only one. Clothing retailers should definitely have the air conditioning on, no one wants to buy clothes that other costumers had sweated on, might as well buy second hand clothing.
Also, maybe it's just this summer while they're training new recruits, there are WAY too many workers, and many of them are too busy chatting with each other than doing anything else. Over crowded with sales associates makes it much harder to really..dive into shopping mode..haha. Then, there was ONE time...holy mother of god, it was so embarrassing, while i was in the changing one, one of the associates just opened the curtain. Certainly, it was an accident, but COME ON, there MUST be a better system of running the changing rooms other than actually LOOKING at a half dressed costumer.... tsk tsk
One last thing, the prices went up too much, bought jeans for $49.90, when i ripped off the price stickers, the original tag was $39.90. that's a good 20% increase. damn uniqlo, you used to be my all around clothing retail store... now...sometimes maybe.... -

In my opinion, Uniqlo is a mix between the well known stores of Gap and American Apparel. We visited this location and also the one on 5th avenue. It is hard to not walk out without buying anything, especially when the mens heat-tech t-shirts are only $6. Over a week visit to NYC, we bought at least 12 items from uniqlo. I wish this store were in the Bay Area/California.

This place is ridiculously awesome. On a trip to New York, I stepped into this store for the first time this past spring. I was, first of all, amazed by the huge space that Uniqlo had managed to get for their inaugural store in America. It's gigantic (for NYC) and organized very nicely.
I would call Uniqlo H&M's minimalist cousin. Their clothes are priced similarly, and they're both equally fashionable, but in different ways. Uniqlo likes leggings in colors like camel, white, and black, and their higher-end line consisted of simple, monochromatic dresses, skirts, tops, and pants whose cuts were timeless.
I'm not going to lie; I spent a couple hours and a pretty penny in this store, but it was definitely worth it. I bought clothes that were timeless and designed to last for years ahead. -

Cute Charlotte Ronson pieces from UNIQLO's Designers Invitation Project. I just love how more and more labels are getting in on collaborating with artists (established and up-and-coming) to design a series/line (a la Target's designer collective).
Found some great items from UNIQLO's +J Collection- nicely tailored hooded cotton cargo jacket, stretch cotton belted skirt, skinny jeans (which can be tailored free of charge).
***Mini shout-out to UNIQLO (Beijing)- found some of the comfiest reversible fleece jackets ever- and of course, in fun colors and patterns. Around $15USD /each. Neato :)1 Previous Review: Show all »

I'm from California. The Southern portion, to be exact. The land of the sun, sun, and more sun. And budget deficits. And water shortages. But let's not go there (OK let's, but just to say how ridiculous it is that my parents' neighbors turn on sprinklers at 3am to get around rules about only watering your lawn twice a week).
So you have to forgive me for knowing nothing about long underwear and even being confused by the concept.
Nevertheless, I trudged into UNIQLO after seeing the ubiquitous Charlize Theron and Orlando Bloom wearing-long-underwear ads and was surprised (pleasantly) by the diverse selection of cheap clothing and (unpleasantly) by the hoards of customers, many of whom seemed to be there only to be a part of the crowd.
Either way, got it cheap, it kept me warm and toasty, and I'll go there again if I need any basics. -

Just because I just got around to yelping it doesn't mean I haven't been going there since shortly after it opened and...
I LOVE THEIR JEANS!!!
The quality and fit of their jeans is great and they always have ridiculous sales - like $19.90 and $29.90 say WHA?
If you have a booty or hips this is definitely a good fit. If you are petite/short they offer FREE ALTERATIONS and they keep the original hemming. Keeping the original hemming is a must when you alter jeans or the stitches will look tacky however many tailors charge extra for that.
I'll be honest the windows didn't appeal to me because it was ver basic, and I guess that's what they focus on very basisc, everyday, good quality and comfortable wear.
I have yet to make it in for the Dry Lux tops which sound great for summer and yoga. -

Uniqlo is the Japanese version of H&M or Old Navy. $70 "special promotion" cashmere sweaters felt thin and cheap. Wear your sunglasses - the bright neon will blind you. We bought a couple heattech t-shirts and will test them out when it gets cold outside. I can't imagine buying antything else of substance there.
