1912 Amax Stationery Metrotown

I absolutely love Japanese stationery and usually love shopping here, but my last trip was a bit unpleasant and now I’m uncomfortable with going back. I was trying to ask an employee, who was an older woman, if she knew if the store planned on getting more Midori notebooks. She snapped at me asking if I was looking for pens, pencils, what, then said notebooks are over there and went right back to the shelf. The mall was pretty busy that day so I understand if she was stressed, but I also struggle with social anxiety and all I did was ask a question, so it sucks she decided to take out her stress on me. I’ll go in if the younger girls are there because they are always very sweet and friendly with me and don’t get mad when I ask questions, but if I see the older woman I won’t go in.

I really like their pens, a little pricey but the quality speaks for itself. I always get my pens from there.

Very unfriendly cashier assigned today. Was there about 20 mins ago. I normally say thank you after every transactions but I was not able to spit the words out, she was not worthy.

Cute little Asian stationary and gift store. Lots of interesting gift items. They also have those popular Chinese surprise box dolls. Always fun to look around here and see what they have.

Generally prices are a bit expensive BUT I splurged and got a $50 PENCIL SHARPENER and can't be any happier with it. My kid sharpens her pencils literally everyday since then, it is such a cool product.Cute little gem full of mostly Japanese items - pens, notebooks, bags, and general decor for the homework area" of a house."

Hallelujah! I've been collecting Japanese pens and I found the ones that I've been looking for here. This location has some interesting stuff and the staff was courteous. I'd come back again. The only drawback is that it's pretty small and it feels somewhat claustrophobic when there are a few other customers inside.

Been buying stuff from this store since they had opened, mostly because my daughter think their stuff are cute. Brought two cups on sale few weeks ago, when I opened up yesterday, noticed that the word happy is spelled as happp" on both cups. It was clear that I just found the reason for the sale

Beautiful and cute stationaries! You can get all your artsy fartsy stuff here!

*THE* place for cute stationary. Be prepared to pay a lot though.I'd consider myself an overpriced fancy pen enthusiast" and they have a full

First time visiting this store and although the products are really cute, I wasn’t greeted at the door when I walked in. When I went up to the cash to pay for a birthday card, the lady working on the floor was on her phone and almost didn’t see me for a few minutes and once she saw me, it was if I was disrupting her time. No hello, or thank you. Just a quick transaction. Not the best customer service experience in my opinion and don’t really have a desire to return to this store after this.
