As we reported prior to its opening, UNIQLO has moved its flagship store from Taikooli South to the West plaza and transformed it into a global flagship store. Just like before, it’s got three floors of goods and it’s even a bit more spacious. Oh, and escalators are a nice addition, too.
Bouquet with your affordable Japanese fashion? Don't mind if I do.
The first floor of the mall also hosts winter sportswear brand Descente, and casual designer wear shop Nice Rice has opened on the third floor. A Nike Rise will soon open on the first floor as well, along with a shop called M. One will occupy the sixth, seventh, and eighth floors.
Several small shops have opened on the exterior walls of the mall on the east and west sides.

Fans of Chinese fine dining might find something worthwhile in the current state of Taikooli West, but those who were looking forward to a few hip new casual dining spots in Sanlitun will have to wait a bit longer.
On the fourth floor, Black Pearl single-diamond winner Chao Café has opened a venue alongside pot-fish restaurant Longrenju. Neither of these, however, is a first for Beijing, so we are more looking forward to trying Pure Thai, a Thai joint specializing in Royal Thai cuisine, with an expected price tag of about RMB 300 per person.
Soon, the same floor will also open a Fat Sister's Noodle Shop, the same noodle restaurant brand at Dongsi that always boasts long lines down the hutong.
