Fit Japanese Store

Visited Houston for a few days, and this store was by far the best thing I found in the entire city. I spent hours in here, but I could spend all day! Everything is super kawaii, and pretty cheap too, considering it’s mostly imported. If I ever visit Houston again, I will definitely go back to this store!

Lettuce begin. Coming inside, you are greeted by all the employees. No wonder where they’re located, they just yell out a phrase. At first it scared it, but then I realized what they were doing and it was pretty cute. Throughout the store, the had a lot of stationary stuff, gadgets, and toys. Walking around, the place was really clean and organized. Walking around for 3mins, I notice how much random stuff they have. For example, ropes, stuffed animals, pens/​pencils, makeup, and cooking supplies. This place is a Daiso basically. With all these stuff, I thought they were pretty pricy to be honest. $ 6 mugs, $ 22 camera lenses, and $ 6 key chains. Maybe I was cheap because I knew these items could be cheaper like Daiso. Another problem was how some stuff are outdated stuff; for example, iPhone 4 car stands and cheap iPhone 4 cases. I personally came here hoping I was able to get a gift since I’m not from Houston, but I couldn’t find anything gift worthy (sorry if I sound harsh). FINALLY, what got me exited was their photo booth, I always wanted to use one and a picture is only $ 7! That’s cheap compared to other places!
But I recommend this place if you need random stuff and want to waste time if you’re in the shopping area! Peace Out Girl Scouts.

Oh, their tiny knick knacks are adorable. I’ve heard something about their well-​known $ 3-​concept and dropped in to find out more about what I could have gotten at that price. Got a cool mug and my general impression of the place was brilliant! Really cheap, but so rich on small interesting objects. The place itself is very clean and organized.

This store sure know show to steal your heart. Right when you walk in, all the employees greet you, no matter how far they are deep in the store, they will all yell out a greeting to you once you walk in. The products there are amazingly adorable and some are fairly useful and rare to see in American stores. They are linked to a parking garage and they have a back door that links directly to the store, very convenient.

I have lovED this place but the quality of products seems to be going on a very LONG trip downward. At first I thought the lesser offerings were a seasonality or availability issue, but no amends by the buyer/​store owner over the last 2 – 3 yrs. I still go here w relative regularity, although it’s lessening due to quality lessening. I have been noticing I’m regularly disappointed to shop here. I’m noticing I don’t care to drop in so much, or tell other people about this place. Also, it doesn’t seem to matter that I’m here w *any* regularity; They never seem to remember me, AND ALWAYS follow me (often more than one of them), closely the entire time I am there. No exaggeration. It’s like I’m a black shopper before Civil Rights happened (not that that’s been fully remedied after it’s happened!) I don’t understand why this is the only place I’m followed w suspicion. It was annoyingly tolerated, and still maddening –when the quality was good. Know the Unilocal photos are currently misleading. The ratio of interesting/​great stuff is lessening, as is the entire gestalt of this place. I am looking to find a replacement to this former love.

All kinds of Asian-​ness at this Japanese shop located on the second floor in the Dun Huang plaza. They sell pretty much everything and anything. It’s a cutesy store so you will see trash cans in the shape of an animal or strawberry key chains. Lunch boxes, piggy banks, pencils, you name it. They also sell make ups. I like their make up wipes, smells good and cheap!

Its the next best thing when you don’t have Daiso. It is a bit more pricy. $ 2 vs $ 1.50. But they have soooo many CUTE things, anything ranging from storage containers, makeup, kitchen gadgets, house supplies, cooking utensils, stationary needs.etc. You can find so many things here and spend at least an hour looking at everything that you can’t find at your local dollar store. Some things can be more expensive that $ 2, but it will be labeled.
This is a must stop for me everything I’m in Chinatown in Houston.

Cute store, nice young cahiers in the front, but as I walked in with my husband and browsed around the store I notice an older lady employee following is around. Wherever we went there she was, acting as if she was fixing things that were already fixed, she was so obvious in keeping an eye on us so we wouldn’t steal. It made me feel unwelcomed and uncomfortable.

I guess it’s okay for what it is… I had the expectation of finding cute-​sy Asian stuff, but everything is pricey and there isn’t much I would care to buy. There’s not much stationary… It’s much more empty in general than Unilocal hyped up

If anyone knows the store Daiso, this is very simliar. It has neat little things ranging from house hold items to stuff animals and makeup. Everything is $ 2 unless it’s marked. Depending on the day, the staff can be friendly or they follow you around like you’re going to steal stuff. Either way i like this place.

Has cheap though low quality little knick knacks that are fun to look at. I did notice the staff stalking me a bit. I thought I was just paranoid but after coming back to my hotel room and checking reviews on Unilocal,I found out this was a normal thing at Fit. Other than the slight discomfort of being watched the whole time, it is a cool place to stop by after a good meal in Dun Huang plaza.

Very cool place to find little knick knacks. It’s cool with the 3 dollar concept but it’s like a pencil/​pen is 3 dollars but I bought a mug there for 2 $ plus tax so 2.17. It’s fairly cheap buying small amount of item but it really adds up lol. I like it there though. Very big and clean

I just don’t know how to express how grateful I feel about having this store opened in Houston. It’s a family store. It sells from stationary to kitchen wares stuffs in there, and they are mostly Korean and Japanese brands. They actually have quite a few stores similar to this back in Taiwan, and I used to think that if they have a store like that near by where I live, I would be all over it… well, my dream came true!!!
Price is totally reasonable. I got my child a lunch box and it was like $ 3 and I could have spent a little more in Taiwan. I also got some cute pens too. Totally cute and cheap.
Anyway, I will just come to Houston more often because of this place (I mean also for my boyfriend as well).

Full of cute little cheap Japanese goods. They do have healthy stuff like ceramic, silicone, wood and metals instead of plastic. I could spend hours in here browsing the store. There always seems to be little things that you need and can end up buying. And they’ll be in style.

You can get lost in a place like this… especially if you like to shop! The reason being the place is full of all kinds of cool things! And you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg either!
Once entering you are greeted by the store employees with a phrase in Japanese which I’m guessing means something like, «welcome to our store!» And there are plenty of employees wandering around willing to answer your questions or steer you in a direction to help you find what you need!
Now if you like things for the kitchen and bathroom this would probably be heaven for you! All kinds of goodies for just pennies compared to places like Target and Wal Mart. Now for stuff I’ve gotten here I have found most of it to be of decent quality. At least for what you pay for it which is practically nothing.
I think that’s the attraction of this place… a kind of Japanese dollar store if you will.
Located on the second floor of this fabulous shopping center near Bellaire and the Beltway. It is also connected to the indoor parking garage if you happen to be caught in the rain or you don’t want to leave your car in the hot sun. I love the convenience of that!
Bright and spacious… it’s definitely a fun place to check out after having a nice dinner in the area. And that’s what’s really cool about visiting this area… lot’s of options as far as eating.

Ever wanted to spend money on things you never knew you needed? Well, this is the place for you! They have so many random little items that will brighten you up. I always find myself buying something when I come here. Most of their things range from $ 2 – 10.
I usually buy bento box items or random things to make a gift box for friends. You can find office supplies, stationery items, household décor, phone accessories, and so many other things.
The quality of their items ranges. Not everything is durable, but they do have some items that are, but you just gotta look carefully. There are also some items that have english phrases on them. Be careful! You gotta read it first. Don’t assume that they use proper grammar. I’ve read some things and they crack me up because you have no idea what it’s trying to say.
The thing I hate is people always following you and watching your every move so that you don’t steal. It’s really annoying and also they have to ask for your ID every time you check out. I understand if you spend a lot of money, but if you use your card for an $ 8 purchase they still ask for your ID.
Overall, this is like an asian walmart, but without the groceries.

I remember the time when I first came to Houston and FIT was just starting off.
My first impression of FIT was how welcoming everyone can be. I also appreciate the effort of saying hello and good-​bye in Japanese, as this is a Japanese Store. Not only do I like how clean and classy everything looks, but I absolutely adore the items they’re selling. Their pricing is simple and affordable, especially for the quality of the items.
One thing that’s stopping me from giving this a full 5 stars is the type of items they have. I would like it if they were a little more creative with their selection. Some of the items they’re selling are items I could bye anywhere else. I hope they will increase the variety of items they could be selling, especially since this is a Japanese Store.
Yay! I’m a fan! But I also want more creativity and variety in the item selection (:

It was love at first sight when I entered and was greeted by lucky cat items… everywhere.
Seriously.
I LOVE lucky cat, I hope me sporting the lucky cat look isn’t cultural appropriation because that would just crush my soul.
Anyway, Fit is such an adorable shop with shelves and shelves of literally everything. Makeup, house décor, stationary, writing utensils, school supplies, mugs, plates, silverware, sponges, storage… seriously. It’s like a Japanese walmart. they don’t have isles and isles of food though… how great would that be.
Everything related to price is pretty cheap too. Anything without a price tag is $ 2! I love Fit and even if you don’t feel like buying a three feet statue of lucky cat or a pen that has 10 different ink options that you’ll probably never use, it’s a great place to kill time when you’re in the area.

I love going in here just to look at everything they have that I couldn’t find at a normal store. Although sometimes I look at the merchandise and it’s weird, but so awesome.
You can spend hours in here browsing… the Japanese are so innovative, yet simple at the same time. What they sell here you wouldn’t think you would find. There are such cute items or plain items that are super useful. You wouldn’t think there would be a product like it that was sold, but it’s probably here! Everything is relatively affordable as well. If the price isn’t labeled it’s probably $ 3. Depending on what the item is, that’s super cheap!
There’s so many things in here you just look at and say, I want it. I need it. And if you have an obsession with miniature-​anything, this is a place you have to stop at. There’s just too many things to describe that you can find in this store! Simple things you need around the house, kitchen, or for your room or desk. You can also find accessories for your phone or car or whatever else!
I want everything in Fit…
What we thought was nice was that when you’re making your purchase, they check the item to see if anything is wrong with it/​if it is broken. And depending on what item, they wrap it so it won’t break.
All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges. $ 5 minimum purchase for Visa and MasterCard.

I’ve had FIT Japanese Store bookmarked on my Unilocal app for years. I’m glad that I finally got a chance to drop in.
First, it’s a great spot to take your child, grand kid or other lil tyke in your life and spoil them rotten with a bunch of random knick knacks. Stickers, toys, stationary items, phone accessories — you name it. With the holidays coming up, you’ll find a lot of stocking stuffers there.
They do have kitchen items, plastic containers and organizers, chop sticks and tea sets to keep your home organized. I refrain from using a lot of plastic in the home — and this store has a lot of plastic stuff — so their merchandise really a fit for me.
Items not priced are $ 2; everything else is priced as marked. I will say that $ 2 is super cheap, but when you compare it to what you’re actually buying — say, a pencil or scrapbooking hole punch, I can certainly find cheaper elsewhere. Same thing goes for the items that are specifically priced; for example, I kinda liked these soup bowls, but $ 12 for two bowls? I rather buy a set of four for $ 15 at Home Goods. Also, there are irritating «you break, you buy.» signs everywhere.
