Sort of looks like WIlly Wonka upchucked a box of crayolas. If you are looking for a plain red T-shirt--piled from floor-to-ceiling; there will be maroon-magenta-strawberry-rouge etc alternatives.
Prices are right-store is layed out wondefully. Staff is friendly and efficient.,,,BUT
huge BUT---
quality---these arent really well made clothes. I am a bit of a clothes horse. My shorts after one washing were already bit faded. And two of my sets of socks already tore after a few wears.
Also--though the variety is enormous--these arent particulary interesting clothes. If Old Navy and the Gap spawned a boring ugly bastard child--UNIQLO would be it.
If you need a functional wardrobe for minimal place-this is it--but it isnt really it for me.

UNIQLO is COOL.
The prices are reasonable and the store itself is eye candy! i've never seen so much colors in one store.
For a really big store with 3 floors i'm surprised they can manage to keep this place in good shape. After working in retail myself (F21), kudos to them.
Although I didn't get to buy anything I think I peed in my pants a little cuz I was so giddy with excitement...especially since i've been holding it in for an hour =P

A few years ago I bought a really cool wool, zip front hoodie as this small shop in Paris. For the life of me I couldn't remember the name, that is until I set foot in the UNIQLO store in SOHO. Eureka!
I like to shop by touch - the softer the better without feeling like polyester is the way to my heart (and closet) The clothes at UNIQLO seem to be of great quality and affordable prices. I'll definitely update this if my purchases fall apart after a couple of weeks (hello, H&M!)
This time around I ended up with a pair of plaid shorts and a plaid, short sleeved shirt (no I won't be wearing them together) as well as some boxer briefs. And if the dressing room lines weren't so long I probably would have tried on some more items. Next time, UNIQLO , next time...

Not just another H&M
Recently discovered UNIQLO and found it to be pleasingly trendy without the trendy pricetag.
It definitely has a "look" that might not be suitable for all, but finally here is an alternative to the mainstream at mainstream prices
Everytime I visit NY, I always come for a visit. This is the closest one to be besides when I fly to HK. They have cute clothes for cheap, and the best of all is that I am able to sometimes find pants that will fit me perfectly.
People thought this was:
Uniqlo is pretty damn great. For those who care, the characters are
U-NI-KU-RO which is to a japanese ear, the shortened version of unique clothing...
I like the stuff they have hear, plenty of good deals abound. Especially for jeans. Note, FREE ALTERATIONS... the most important thing that clothing gurus will tell you is to wear clothes that fit well, and to have them altered to your body, so that makes Uniqlo $10 cheaper than the price you would pay otherwise... THey also have a quick turnaround...
I went in to pickup a couple pairs of jeans today, and found two arcade style video games on the back stair mezanine. Check it out, free video games, pacman, miss pacman, and galaga. I used to be a pro at galaga, so i started playing before I picked up my jeans. I got the high score 100,000!! woohoo!
People thought this was:
Very cool store! If you know me, you'll know that I am not into color so a place like Uniqlo is not normally where I'd shop but i found yself in here for 2 reasons yesterday. 1) because my friend was visiting and really wanted to go and 2) Yelpers Ramon C. and Gaie C. from Miami are always raving about it so I felt obligated to check it out.
I must say it's a nicely merchandised store and very visually appealing. They also had great promotions everywhere! I was not really there to shop but ended up buying 4 sale dresses. Ironically they were all grey and black. Leave it to me to find gloomy colors at a place like Uniqlo. ;) But I'm not the only one. The cashier complimented me on my grey sweater and we had a whole conversation around how we both love the colors grey and black and that's all we ever wear. Apparently the cashier next to her also shares our love for gloomy colors because she was wearing a grey dress layered with black. Gotta love New Yorkers and their dark attire. ;)
I was a bit ambivalent about how hyped up this place is and was half expecting another H&M. Uniqlo definitely proved me wrong though and other budget clothing retailers should take heed. Uniqlo has got this high quality for low price business down to a science. Super soft supima cotton jumpsuits and tees for less than $20 and 100% linen open front cardigans for $40? I work in textiles and am baffled that they can sell all of this great stuff for cheap. Though some of the printed t-shirts are a tad juvenile, their collaborations are some of the best and most tasteful collections to come out of the whole concept.
On top of the great value and versatile style, the salespeople were so gracious and helpful. It also helped that in NY, there is no sales tax on clothing under $110 so when I say I spent $40 on a cardigan, I really spent $40 and not $44 like I would have done in my San Francisco home base.
Altogether, I only blew $250 but also managed to restock my entire wardrobe of great basics. I think it's safe to say that I'm totally a Uniqlo convert.
I came back to NYC two months later and still found quite a few things to bring back with me to California. I even bought the BF a collared, light cotton, but smooth (hard to explain) cargo shirt and it was only $19.90 on sale! Uniqlo has GREAT service and everyone is super helpful - the guy putting your umbrella in the plastic bag, fitting room people, floor people who helped me find BF's size upstairs and cashier person who gave me another paper bag to cover my goodies since it was raining outside. They are always accommodating here and I love shopping here. The new pac man paper shopping bags are real cute too. PLEASE COME TO CALIFORNIA!
And I got this super cute dress designed by Shipley and Halmos for Uniqlo. I luv it!
I haven't been to a Uniqlo since my Tokyo trip in 2005 so this was a real treat during our trip to… Read more »
It's was my first time at UNIQLO and I was in 'Ahhh'
I believe 3 floors of cuts I've seen at American Apparel and and H&M.
The actual design is not MY style. I wouldn't say it not hip... just not what I would wear... They have a bunch of old game console shirts and odd designs.
All their "no graphic" items are nothing new.... been done.
They do have great sizes, XS, and the fit is nicely fitted.
If I go back to NY, will it be on my list of shops to hit up? Prob not. TOPSHOP is down the street and I can spend hours in the store.
People thought this was:
Oh yeah. After all the hype you almost don't want to like this place. But dammmmmn, THIS is where you find that knit linen wrap dress in a Spanish Moss color that you've fantasized about for ages. I was traveling with a designer-friend for a show in New York, and our mantra the entire trip was "Neutrals, with a pop of color!" This is basically all you need to know about Uniqlo. Skip the bullshit screenprinted tees and stock up on every single slightly-more-interesting-than-basic basic item in the store. For good measure, get each thing in all proffered shades of bone, egg, or ecru.
I first fell in love with Uniqlo while in Japan. This store is the "Gap" of Japan.
I love the simplicity of the clothes here. While the quality isn't superb, the prices are affordable and the quality is probably between Old Navy and Gap. It's not excellent, but it's decent for the price one would pay. For instance, I purchased two pairs of tights for under $5 dollars several months ago. One could easily buy a dress on sale here for around $20-$30 dollars or tank tops for under $10 dollars.
One of my favorite staple items here are the tank tops. They come in variety of colors and styles. I love the lacy tops. They last pretty long and I still have some of the ones I purchased from 4 years ago.
The sizes here are fairly extensive. It was one of the few stores that I comfortably fit into while in Japan. The clothing sizes are a big "bigger" than the typical stores that are catered for young folks such as Bebe or Guess. Like I said, clothing sizing similar to Gap's range.
The store is great for basics with many solids and different styles for a variety of solid color choices. They have items for males and females and have a wide range of polos. The store could use more formal items, but they really are not known for that. They are known for simple basics in particular cotton clothing/wear.
I love it when they have sales or clearance/"red" items because what is already cheap becomes cheaper. It's like the bargain bins at Old Navy or Macy's, but I believe the quality is better than Old Navy.
Very organized, clean store. I wish they had one of these on the West Coast because I would def. be a frequent customer.
Friendly customer service. Fairly fast service as well despite having to wait in line.
I also love the ambiance of the store. It is huge with multiple stories (1st floor, basement, and 2nd floor) and the layout is excellent.
Takes credit card!
Cons: perhaps a bit difficult to find parking (it is NYC though), also can use more "formal" type clothes as an expansion of its current offerings.
here's the skinny on uniqlo:
SKINNY JEANS! men's skinny jeans!
after some unsuccessful shopping misadventures,
the skinny jeans remained as elusive and reclusive as hipsters in kensington.
after a fruitless search in soho,
after my son had resigned himself to a skinny jeansless existence,
after being told twice that many men/boys wear women's skinny jeans,
the goods were delivered here.
real live men's skinny jeans!
People thought this was:
Because I'm a skinny guy who has trouble finding clothes that fit, someone once suggested that I should move to Japan. That someone also happened to be an employee at a clothing store. Ouch.
Well, since I can't move to Japan, Uniqlo is as close as I'm going to get.
I love Uniqlo when I'm looking for dressier pieces--sweaters, collared dress shirts, etc. Not really into their t-shirts. And I know everyone raves about their skinny jeans, but I can't tell you how many times I've gone in and they've been sold out of my size. The problem is that EVERYONE knows about Uniqlo's skinny jeans, so you gotta get 'em while the gettin's good.
It can definitely be overwhelming (sometimes I find myself pacing for minutes without actually doing anything), but overall the sizes and the prices make Uniqlo worth it.
People thought this was:
HI. Yeah, Uniqlo.... Why are your sizes so large? I thought this was a Japanese brand. I'm 5'4" and literally 101 pounds, and your XS is big enough to fit two of me. Now, I know that blousy clothes are all the rage, but come on.
However, I do love your skinny tapered jeans. This keeps me coming back. They really are every bit as nice as my JBrand jeans. I actually find myself reaching for my Uniqlo jeans more often than my muuuuch more expensive pairs.
Love the designers invitational project (or whatever it is).
you're headed in the right direction, but take another look at your sizes.
I feel like I have to mentally prepare before shopping here because the store is huge and the weekend crowds can be overwhelming. It's a good place to stock up on basics (plain t-shirts, cardigans, sweaters). They also have a variety of more unusual patterns and cuts but these can be very hit or miss. The salespeople are pretty well organized and can be helpful. One huge plus is that they offer free jeans tailoring, so if you have to get your jeans hemmed, it's worth checking out the huge selection here. Another big plus is the large and reasonably clean bathroom in the lower level.

I have heard of Uniqlo but I have never been inside or purchased anything until yesterday! After hearing that my friend was going by, I agreed to go and can I say that I have definitely been missing out. The Soho location has 3 floors that have various tees in vibrant colors! I loved that they had so many jeans and yesterday they were on sale for $29.50. My fave find was the Tapered Skinny Leg which I will definitely enjoy wearing. Although I don't know about how well everything will last - it's good to know you can get something that will be good for a bit! I hope that the jeans work out and I have to say - I went in looking for one and came back with four!
People thought this was:
UNIQLO is great, it's an awesome place to get basics - simple dresses, leggings, shirts, jeans. they always have some sort of sale and their quality is pretty good. i think 60% of my wardrobe is from here. it's "The Gap" of Japan but muchhhhhhh better!
I walked in here for the first time yesterday. It's such a cute store! I loved the turning mannequins in the middle. It made the store look so "futurish"-- especially with the TVs on the side. Unfortunately, there wasn't really anything for me because it's not my style but the guy who was standing by the door was super-incredibly nice, even thought I didn't buy anything.
What I really love about UNIQLO is that they sell all sorts of quality items that are not covered in any sort of brand name. Everything from solid color t-shirts, to sweaters, to jeans, to hoodies...and all at a good price.
I also bought some SWEET longjohns here. I don't think I would've made it through the winter without them. In fact, if you appreciate my existence at all, you might as well thank UNIQLO.
On the other hand, if this causes you to protest UNIQLO in some way (throw rocks at their storefront,* picket them, badmouth them around town), I understand.
*Let's be clear that I am not in any way condoning you defacing UNIQLO's property.
People thought this was:
If you are looking for cheap basics in multiple colors at reasonable prices then you have to go here.It really is like an American Apparel and H&M combination.They even have some kitschy graphic tees on sale.
People thought this was:
4 stars, 391 reviews can't be wrong. Uniqlo rocks!
Forget GAP. Forget H & M. Get UNIQLO.
It's not as gigantic as the store in Shinjuku but it's impressive nevertheless. Not as expensive as Muji.
I love getting the basics here. T-shirts, fleece, linen shirts. Uniqlo has an extensive collection of cool t-shirts.
People thought this was:
I say Japanese H&M, my friend says Japanese Gap. Same thing really, they offer cheap basics that everyone could use from time to time. A lot of their more popular items come in bright variations which is nice if you're tired of the white and black of most other places.
I found a men's sport jacket that was made out of cloth which was perfectly business casual for around $40. Good enough for casual occasions and I won't run crying to the dry cleaner if it gets dirty.
They tote the fact that their jeans are all japanese denim, which usually runs around $400 and are world famous for their quality and fit. So how does UNIQLO pull it off for $50?? Because its really just a name. The quality was excellent for the price but they wouldn't be mistaken for $400. Best jeans I've ever worn for that price range though.
I also really like their line of retro anime shirts, most of them were too ultra otaku-ish for me but it was cool to see.
People thought this was:
As a guy who dresses like a hobo, this place seemed like a giant Gap store at first glance. But after only a bit of observation, this store is so much more. Its a very large store that is filled with people like ants. I bought a cashmere sweater for $30. Quite the deal.
There is so much color and everything looks so nice despite having so many customers. I was very impressed and probably would have bought a lot more stuff if I wasnt broke and shopping with 4 other dudes, lol
Definite place to shop in New York. The most impressive clothing store I visited in NY.
People thought this was:
God I love this store. I come here whenever I have time to stop by soho to do some shopping. Love the minimal design and the attractive display as soon as you enter. How can you not love the towering shelves of cashmere sweaters in all the colors you can imagine.
I buy my solid cardigans and t-shirts here cause you can never get enough of those.
People thought this was:
Like an oven,
Ok that place has serious issues with the AC, went to the men floor to look at some shirts i thought i was in the oven baking. So freaking hot, hotter than the outside, plus the amount of people there just wanted to leave. Looked at a few things and wanted to get out fast just an uncomfortable shopping experience.
loos of stars due to oven like feeling.
A fish tank?
I feel like I'm in a uniq aquarium, everything is mad out of glass...
Tough the store has…

UNIQLO just robbed me blind! Scenario: Here I was just strolling casually down Broadway when all of a sudden I see a couple faceless creatures peering at me through the window. They drew me into their store and then left me with an empty wallet. No, they weren't armed... just well dressed.
I had shopped in this store a lot in Japan and totally forgot about it until I saw it here in SoHo. It's the Japanese version of American Apparel... simple, vibrant designed tops and bottoms that can be had for cheap.
I went pretty nuts in this store, here's what I ended up scoring:
2 jeans for 49.90 (regularly 49.50 each), 5 graphic tees, a button down shirt, a handful of basic colored tees, $20 cardigan sweater, and a track jacket. It's a great place to pickup all those basics and layers that are key to starting and filling out your wardrobe.
Added bonus: they offer free hemming on their pants. It takes about 2 or 3 days though, so it's not available for a traveler like me. They only offer inseams of 32 and 34 for guys, so if you're shorter you can hem the 32, but if you're taller than 34 you might be in trouble.
Their t-shirt selection reminds me of something out of Urban Outfitters, their dressy/business side is kinda like H&M, and the layout of the store feels like an American Apparel.
All that for the price of a Target. My purchase came out to be $180. Guess they didn't rob me after all.
People thought this was:
Admittedly this place is not AMAZING. The graphic tees and designer collaborations aren't amazing. However, I LOVE their jeans. Nothing has ever fit me better. Just amazing. They're way too long for me but I can always get them altered. Also bought a great hoodie for $20! Wonderful, wonderful! I'm so sad that the basement is currently closed because that's where I get all of my cheap clothing xD Lines for dressing room are ridiculously long though.
I love shopping at this store. I always find something to buy even when I dont need to buy anything
What sucks is, the japanese stores are a billion times better than this hipster reject.
I mean really, they have like 2 different styles of a $40 t-shirt. The selection is lame- pales in comparison to the Japanese giant stores with lots of variety and selection- the USA flagship is hardly as enterprising. This place looks like a tiny sampling of UNIQLO.
The sad thing is, in Japan this place is like the GAP (even the CEO has stated he wants a GAP empire) they are everywhere ~ with tons of cool sale items, vast bins of pants, shirts, socks~ bargains. I think the infrastructure in Japan - lends the stores distribution to be networked- so different stores get unique items~ whereas in the NY store- its just the top 10 flagship items for deuchy wanna be Japanofiles who think this is the real shit.
This is quite the store to look at. From the outside many viewers gaze in at the numerous colored sweaters and shirts that line the wall from floor to roof.
In my mind, this place is a more trendy, better designed H&M.
The prices arnt too bad for a store in the middle of Broadway.
While I was in NYC I only had bought one or two things there but they have held up quite nicely to this day.
If you like simple styled clothing, in dull or super bright colors I would DEF. reccomend you stop by UNIQLO while on the walk down or up Broadway.
Im sure your breath will be taken away by the three floors of clothes, clothes and more clothes.
For me, Uniqlo was like a cheap american apparel.
Simple designs on the cheap.
The tri-level store was exhausting... not just trying to scale the thing, but also... just the music, the heat, the walls of monotone garments folded just-so. I was overwhelmed.
It's alright though.
People thought this was:
After checking out Uniqlo in Japan, I wanted to see what it was like in the U.S. Well, I don't know if it's just NY or what, but I was surprised to see how massive the tri-leveled store is! It's huge and filled with so much clothes, in almost every color of the rainbow. This is totally different that what I experienced in Tokyo where the stores weren't as grand and definitely did not have as many color options for certain clothing items. Price was average...I didn't see anything outrageously priced. Just don't get why everyone is shopping when we're in a recession?
People thought this was:
I'm really giving Uniqlo 3.5 stars, but I wasn't quite confident in the store enough to round up.
I hadn't been down to the city in years, and I only had a couple hours to kill some Saturday afternoon. Obviously, I chose to shop.
I've been wanting to check out this store for a while, and was excited I had the chance to. For the most part, I liked the basics options. There were a LOT of skinny-fit colored jeans, and mini-skirts. No matter what my weight, neither of these styles work for me.
I wanted to haul 10 pairs of jeans into the dressing room, but I was working on limited time. I didn't even bother (I need to devote serious time and dedication for a jeans excursion) with those, but I did bring in some other stuff. Found a couple things I liked, and the prices were damn right.
Looking forward to coming back down in a couple weeks - and this time, I'll make sure I have enough time to deal with the denim!
Ok, the hype did make me expect too much, but you can find things here and for reasonable prices. Just like H&M (and most every store for that matter), you have to weed through a bunch of things you most definitely don't want to find something to go with.
I think the biggest let down for me was that the space is amazingly huge (three levels and roomy, with a simple, sleek interior design), but so much of it was filled with different colors of really basic staples, i.e. t-shirts. Also, the whole front of the store was essentially devoted to whites. I know it's winter and all, but unless you're uber thin and you take cabs everywhere, you'll never need that much white in your closet.
I was also a little disappointed with the printed t-shirt selection. They run very small (don't expect to find anything for a typical American male) and many of the styles and cuts were average at best.
I did pass by some jeans worth trying on (and they were pretty cheap), and found a cute purse by the check-out lanes on the first level, but in the end it's good that this store is so close to an H&M - I think if you plan on stopping at both, you're bound to find something that doesn't eat your wallet.
Miriam W told me I'd "absolutely love UNIQLO" and dammit, she was right! If you want to be faced with an alarming number of options and clothing of every stripe, colour and style, you'd be wise to have a gander at UNIQLO's wares.
I didn't even attempt to tackle the second floor as I was overwhelmed with just the main floor and my forearm was aching from carrying so many items around the store.
Shockingly, what I ended up buying was neither stretchy nor neon - a beautiful linen/cotten blend dress with pockets that wasn't advertised as being on sale but ended up having 20 or 25% knocked off the price. Thanks, UNIQLO!
People thought this was:
I was looking to purchase their cordalane suit from the spring 2009 collection, but they were not only out of stock, but could not tell me when, let alone if, they would be getting anything again. For the only uniqlo store in the states to not offer any kind of online shopping, but to also be under stocked, is pretty inexcusable.
My brother actually told me about Uniqlo bc he loves their jeans, so I had to check it out. My first impression was "another H&M or American Apparel" but after browsing around the quality seems to be much better and the selection is larger. I am not a fan of the t-shirts but jeans and sweaters are very nice. Store is also very organized and the staff can guide you to the right spot for anything.
I did have trouble finding sizes, seems like everyone wants a pair of their jeans and also weekends are crazy here so try and come during the week. Also the guys section is very big unlike some other places.
whoa! this place is crazy packed! i walked in and almost had an anxiety attack at the sight of endless colors and great basics for my wardrobe. the prices were amazing, and so many fully-stocked, newer items were on sale!
unfourtunely (or fortunately in my checkbooks case) i was so overwhelmed by choices and things to look at, that by the time i was ready to commit to actually picking out items, i was losing my mo. the dressing room lines were out of control, so my friend and i opted for the over the clothes kinda thing in front of a random mirror. which is always fine with me since i always end up having to pee whenever i find myself in a dressing room (why?).
still nabbed a few basics, one being an awesome pencil skirt with a fantastic fit. loves it.
