  • Smooth-writing gel pens

Muji earns strong reviews as a minimalist one‑stop shop that works well for stationery, storage, and home basics—its 0.36–0.5 gel pens, notebooks, diffusers, and modular organizers draw consistent praise for smooth performance, thoughtful design, and longevity. Reviews also flag drawbacks: clothing can fit boxy or feel mid‑quality, some items (especially certain home goods) feel overpriced, pens may smudge or skip, and online selection/UX lags, making in‑store experiences distinctly better.

  • Fun place to shop in the city. Almost no online presence and seem to be winding down inventory. Super unimpressed when I returned recently and couldn’t find refills for past purchases.

  • I love Muji—affordable, minimal, practical. Their stationery is amazing, all the clothes I've ever purchased have held up for years, and I enjoy the clean, Japanese minimalism. I just wish they kept more stores open in the states!

  • I love that when you visit Muji, you know what you will find: well-made basics for the home. If someone wanted to move out, they could outfit their entire kitchen! On the clothes end, I've purchased a ton of the Muji Labo stuff, crispy cotton with beautiful oversized unisex fits. The only reason I gave Muji a 4 out of 5 here is because I have visited a couple of their locations in Japan and am bummed they down have the same diversity of products available in Canada - that would be soooo cool!

  • I always knew of Muji stationary, and used the mechanical pencils in school, but the household stuff is even better in my opinion! The essential oil diffuser is great, it covers a large area and the Muji oils smell awesome and leave a long-lasting subtle scent too. I also really like the feel of the stoneware bowls. Haven't tried any of the clothing but Muji is one of my go-tos for foolproof, safe gifts - either stationary or mugs/homeware and even snacks.

  • I love the miju store since i was in kuwait ! The aesthetic of the store is minimal and cozy , i would love to see the store in montreal canada as well !

  • This place is so aesthetic and I love how simple everything is. I would love it if they opened up their Hollywood store again. However, I can dream :)

  • Muji is one of my ALL TIME favorite brands for just about everything. I’ve been using their home organizational products for 10+ years, and they are standing the test of time (especially their plastic bins which we use and abuse daily). While their products aren’t cheap, they are WORTH it. Their design aesthetic is so clean and modern that it goes with just about everything. I also love their line of women’s clothing and all of their travel products. Their scent diffusers are amazing too! Never disappointed with this brand.

  • Muji products are quintessentially minimalist yet functional. Muji has everything from housewares to clothing gear. While the color scheme for the clothing is traditional and muted, the quality of the fabric and items is outstanding. Love MUJI!

  • I've loved everything I've ever gotten from Muji, from stationary, home wares and clothing. Really simple and elegant Japanese design. They make great pens, beautiful household items and really nice linen wardrobe staples.

  • I love the Muji brand ethos and have shopped both online and in store many times. Their products are stylish, functional and so well made they last for ever. I particularly like their storage systems - modular and so affordable, I'll probably never buy another chest of drawers again in my life.

  • I love the Muji gel pens and notebooks. Unfortunately they are hard to get and expensive in my country

  • God i love rhe design of their products. It screams minimalism. I highly recommend them. Not only they were sturdy but high quality too!

  • Basics are so great! Feels like an elevated bed bath and beyond - and it’s a bit more curated too. They also have a huge assortment of notebooks and pens, so you can exactly what you’re looking for! I think the experience is better in person, but haven’t had major issues with their site.

  • Muji is one of my favorite affordable brands The quality is amazing, especially for the price. Muji items are innovative and practical and every time I shop here I find something new to try. I’ve gifted many of their items to close friends and coworkers and they were well received.

  • Shopping at Muji makes me want to be a better person. Someone who is organized, simplified and is clutter-free. I love that I can go in without an objective and find the smallest piece of product that will enhance my day-to-day life. I recently went in to prepare for a trip and picked up the perfect travel size container to reduce my carry-on liquid capacity and small pouches for all of my miscellaneous essentials in one place. They are innovative and always finds a way to make my life easier. Only downfall is their ecom experience is non-existent or abysmal. Will only recommend IRL experiences.

  • The stuff here is all so simple. There a sort of Japanese peace to there simplistic designs. Bought a pen case and a set of colored pens. Love the design and simplicity of them

  • obsessed with everything from stationary to food to household goods. Always great quality, texture, aesthetics.
