Even if you're just browsing it's like being transported into another world. The stuff in here ranges from the weird to practical. Good bargains to be had on Chinese kitchenware. I love the wall hangings but can never find one that depicts what we want--mountains down to a village type thing.
The stuff (mainly lanterns) hanging from the ceiling is just wild. -

Chinese antiques a plenty, paper lanterns, fans, those little cats with the waving arm - they're all there. But the stars of the show are definitely in the back of the house!
Come on, don't be shy or scared: climb the crickety stairs, suck in your gutt and walk sidestep through the tightly packed aisles. (When I say tightly packed, what I mean is Thumbelina would love it here). But it's worth it!Listed in: Chinatown, Import Me, Funiture Fascination

If you're looking for furniture and accent pieces while on your walking tour of Chinatown, you can't miss out on Bamboo Village. They have a great selection of Asian pieces at reasonable prices - chests of drawers, lamps, tables, statues, even ornately cut wood for builders.
Beyond furniture and home decor, they also have a number of amusing conversation pieces from Chinese army hats to anime character plastic frogs that greet you with a high-pitched "Hello!!! Welcome!" as you come near. Incidentally, my friend tried to convince me to buy one for my own place. I was tempted at first for novelty value, but the growing madness I experienced every time someone walked into Bamboo Village (yes, they had one active at the door) convinced me otherwise.
Anyway, if you can handle the madness, be sure to check out this neat shop.Listed in: Chinatown Walking Tour: My…

There's a few things in here that I just LOVE.
Red Armoire- you know the typical Asian style. It would be a great focal point to a room, and looks well made. I really want it. Though the tag always indicated that it's been discounted several hundred dollars, it's still outside my IKEA/Craig's List budget.
There's also some amazing Buddha statues and figures. A big array of sizes are available- including one nearly life-size!
And last, I love the paper lanterns here. They have the super basic ones, but also the ones that have a designed metal frame around them.
Very cute stuff. -

I come here often, mostly to browse and see what new hidden treasures await me! They sell everything from paper lanterns and bamboo place-mats to antique furniture. I even saw this cute little kimono, meant to go on wine bottles instead of those "dime a dozen" gift bags. The best part is the furniture in the back and upstairs. I've purchased many of my favorites from here. It's the same pieces one might find at Moe's Home Collection, but at a much better price!! The staff that works here are always friendly, and one girl in particular, will giggle at me as I've been here so often. Great little place, maybe you'll find your own little treasure here.
