Quite, clean, and peaceful atmosphere. A must visit for Simplified and Traditional Chinese Books, Magazines, and Caligraphy supplies. Speaking Chinese here will help. Check out the sales section. They also have a huge childrens section with English/Chinese books and posters.

I went there today, the cashier was a little rude to me. Didn’t have much stuff to buy but it was still very good!

I’m Japanese calligrapher. I ordered Chinese traditional flaming for my works to this store. It took longer than expectation (more than two weeks) but still works were great. Friendly people there. Only Chinese people should call if you have questions. Reception lady does not know English at all. Except that, nice place!!

Great little place with a great selection. Classes for Chinese calligraphy and a great selection of calligraphy things for any level. This is pretty much almost the last Chinese bookstore in New York city due to all the changes, be sure to check it out before it disappears!Wanted to find some calligraphy gifts for my grandma and this was pretty much the only place with a good selection of things. The other bookstore I went to barely had anything

That Oriental Culture Enterprises carries books in English, Chinese, Chinese Painting calligraphy material,3D puzzle, 3D Card and some gifts of Chinese culture.When I went to Chinese School every Saturday from April 1997 - December 1999, the teachers recommended the students to go get the exercise workbooks from a bookstore in Chinatown. This store still carries those blank exercise workbooks designed to practice Chinese Characters with.These days, learning a second or third language is a good skill to have and it is of significant importance because it will turn out useful somehow. The books in English and Chinese in the inventory here are at this store is something that motivates us to learn an additional language. Interested in getting books on Chinese Learning or something culture about Chinese? Just want to browse around before making a purchase? Come to Oriental Culture Enterprises Co.,In addition they are qualified specialist vendor of New York City Department of Education.This store is located in the 2nd Floor level so youll have to go up the stairs!ACCEPTABLE FORMS OF PAYMENTS: CASH / CREDIT CARDS* / DEBIT CARDS**TYPES OF CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED = VISA, MASTERCARD,*TYPES OF DEBIT CARDS ACCEPTED = VISA AND MASTERCARDPROVIDE SERVICE**Chinese Seal Engraving****Chinese brush painting & calligraphy Service - made to order**

What a spectacular bookstore! Not only do they offer an impressive array of books in Chinese and English (including resources for learning each others language), but art and calligraphy supplies, and musical instruments! Chinese cultural dream come true.

Small bookstore on a 2nd floor right next to Elizabeth Center. Aside from books, they have a lot of calligraphy materials, unique pop up cards, some Chinese wedding decorations, children’s games, ping pong stuff and more.

Its on the 2nd floor. Nice Chinese bookstore. If youre an ABC and want to get a bilingual Chinese cookbook, this place is the place to go. They also offer Chinese calligraphy classes.

Probably the largest Chinese bookstore in New York. Lots of childrens books. cookbooks, language and scholarly writings, art and games... cultural life in NYC would be sad without this place.

The bookstore on the second floor, a large space, rich in content, Chinese and foreign books, teaching materials in China & English, childrens books, special paper and ink for Chinese calligraphy, Chinese traditional musical instruments, calligraphy and painting couplets (you can also ask expert to creat a new one for you), all kinds of chess, Paper-cut entertainment ... it is really a great place to visit, to learn Chinese cultures.

Good for books and accessories like ink and paper. But dont go there for brushes, the brushes there are in general pretty awful.

This bookstore is one of my fav places in NYC. I have been going there for yrs to buy Chinese Brush supplies, art books and music. I live on Cape Cod now and miss it. On my few trips back to Manhattan, I always try to go there.

The books in it are quite complete, and it is the first choice to buy physical Chinese books. I bought these last time, it was Black Friday, and there were discounts.
