This is the second time visiting. What was disappointing is that a certain employee, Winnie, did not offer a brand new set and instead chose to deceive me with a display set. This has occurred twice, and even after I realized, she still denied it. She sneakily made it appear brand new, which was deceiving. I believe honesty is the key to customer service, and Winnie does not seem to display that. There was also no assistance from the supervisor, despite her awareness of the situation. I hope that the overall customer experience will improve in the future.

I was asking if they had a chair as my friend was selecting a few pieces of clothing and jeans for herself and her boyfriend. Next, this XL-sized lady showed a black face and said, "No. No chair." Duh. She maintained that black face throughout, as if I owed her a million dollars. I walked to the nearby Bugis bus stop. I'd rather not spend a dime.

It was a very pleasant shopping experience. The price seemed to be on the slightly higher side, but a discount was offered for buying two or more pieces. Sales associate Mia was very helpful and had a good service attitude. I will definitely shop with Recoil again.

The entire team at this location is superb: friendly, helpful, and so personable. It was truly a delight to "yak yak" with the staff while laughing the entire time. I will revisit, even just to say hello.

I would like to compliment Mr. Jason for his 5-star service. He makes us feel welcome to the shop, recommending us some clothing options that suited us best. It seems like we were the only customers there, as he dedicated his time to us. He seems like a very hardworking man. Congratulations on hiring such an amazing staff member. 👏 👏 👏 …

5-star review for Recoil!
I'm obsessed with Jenny, she's the best!
Every time I visit Recoil at Bugis Street and she's there, I end up buying way more than I planned. She has a way of making you feel like you're the only customer in the store. Friendly, charming, and knows exactly how to make a sale. I've been 'victim' to her excellent customer service skills multiple times, and I don't mind one bit! If you're looking for a great shopping experience, make sure to catch Jenny at Recoil. Highly recommended!

Donkey has been a loyal Recoil customer for years, ever since he first discovered their store in Bugis Street. He was immediately drawn to their trendy designs and the quality of their clothing. Their shirts, in particular, have a great fit, and he loves the way their cotton feels. It irons easily and doesn’t wrinkle as quickly as some other shirts he’s owned.
Donkey and I have made Recoil a tradition for our Chinese New Year shopping. We always find stylish pieces that we love. This year, we snagged a few new T-shirts and Donkey even picked up a shirt for the festivities. He was also impressed by their suit sets. They’re so well-priced and stylish, and it’s great to find a complete outfit for a reasonable price **compared** to a tailor shop.
Recoil keeps things fresh with new designs every year, and they always have fantastic sales, especially during Chinese New Year. We even became Recoil members a couple of years ago, and we’ve since upgraded to Gold Members.
The staff is very friendly and helpful, although they can be a bit pushy during peak seasons like Chinese New Year. It’s definitely busier during those times, but the selection and value are worth it!
If you’re looking for **couple wear**, Recoil is also a great place to check out. They have a wide variety of matching or complementary styles for couples.
One thing to note is that most of their T-shirts are oversized. So if you’re someone who likes to wear oversized tees, this is definitely the place to come. However, you can also get smaller sizes if you prefer. Donkey and I usually go for extra small, which is typically equivalent to a size Medium for us. If you want a more fitted look, just go down a size from your usual size.
Overall, I highly recommend Recoil if you’re looking for high-quality T-shirts, stylish shirts, or affordable suit sets. They’re a great option for trendy and stylish clothing at a reasonable price.

One of my favorite places to shop since pre-COVID, this store offers timeless, sleek designs. The quality is good, and prices are reasonable.
The staff are well-trained and approachable.
I'm hoping they have jogger pants with two back pockets.
They offer a wide range of products, from caps and belts to tees and pants.
Definitely worth adding some pieces to your wardrobe.
PS: Don't be like some establishments that have no standards yet expect a 5-star review. LMAO
