I dig this place. I've read their reviews for quite some time and admittedly I never had the motivation to make the trek in on own. Those months I wasn't trying Mindzai out were wasted months now that I realise how much fun (and stressful) one of their private events can be!
It's a small space located near Warden and Hwy 7, with approximately 10-14 seats and a massive inventory of every designer toy and figurine you could imagine, so for the POP! Collector this is your go to place!
Parking is a bit tricky as this plaza is jam packed with many popular options such as Tendou, Gal Sushi and a St. Louis Bar & Grill amongst many many others.
As mentioned I was here for one of their private events where you book out the entire space after hours for about 2 hours of time. The entire booking is approximate $200 roughly. This includes unlimited painting supplies and a small figurine for painting. The small toys aren't necessarily that great so you invariably end up wanting to upgrade to a larger toy, which is what I did and what I recommend you do as well!
The owner was very helpful and provided good tips and instructions on how best to paint/decorate your toy and once your masterpiece is completed you get to put it into their photo lightbox for the "big reveal".
It was a race against the clock for me so be sure you pace your to ensure you finish within the 2-hour time frame! I think this is a great spot for a quirky date or night out that doesn't require you to drink alcohol.
Fun times in Markham - you should go!
