At Mogutable, Choose the Bowl You Will Use Every Day

Mogutable, a home-goods shop on Grand Street in Williamsburg, offers a curated selection of tableware and home goods that blend East Asian and U.S. design. Founded in 2019 by sisters Yingchi and Yuchen, who were raised in Taiwan and are now Brooklyn-based, the shop invites you to rethink how you choose the bowls, plates, mugs, and utensils you use every day. The key is to shop with your real-life routines and space in mind.

Start With Your Everyday Meals

Before you visit Mogutable at 130 Grand Street, consider the meals you prepare most often. If you regularly eat noodle soups or rice bowls, focus on bowl sizes that fit your portion habits. For someone who enjoys a morning matcha or a large coffee, mug capacity becomes a practical detail—note your usual drink volume and compare it with the stated capacity of a mug. If you’re shopping for plates, think about the dishes you serve most: do you need wide, flat plates for pasta, or smaller ones for snacks and desserts?

Measure Your Storage Space First

Williamsburg apartments often have limited kitchen storage. Measure your shelves and cabinets before heading to Mogutable. Bring those dimensions with you to compare the footprint of plates, bowls, and mugs. If you’re eyeing a set, ask staff whether you can compare how the pieces stack before handling a display. This can help you avoid the frustration of beautiful dishes that don’t fit your shelves.

Ask About Care for Each Piece

Mogutable’s selection includes tableware and home goods from both East Asia and the U.S., with categories spanning plates, bowls, mugs, tea and coffee accessories, and chopstick holders. Care instructions can vary widely by maker and material. If you have a busy schedule or limited time for hand-washing, ask staff about the care requirements for each piece you’re considering. For example, if you want to use a bowl for both hot soup and cold salads, confirm whether it’s suitable for temperature changes and what cleaning methods are recommended.

Plan for Pickup and Confirm Availability

If you prefer to pick up your order at the Brooklyn shop, the store FAQ identifies the Williamsburg shop as a pickup location. Wait for confirmation that your order is ready before heading over. This is especially important if you’re shopping for a gift or need items by a specific date. Since prices and availability can vary by maker and piece, it’s a good idea to call ahead at 929-426-6185 to check on current stock and any special requests you might have.

Consider Transit and Accessibility Needs

Mogutable is located at 130 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249. Before you set out, use current MTA directions and check for any service changes that might affect your trip. If you have accessibility needs, contact the shop directly to ask about step-free entry, interior routes, and any other accommodations you might require. Planning your route and confirming access in advance can help ensure a smooth visit.

Shop by Category, Not Just by Set

The shop’s selection covers a range of categories, including plates, bowls, mugs, tea and coffee accessories, and chopstick holders. Instead of defaulting to a matching set, consider mixing and matching pieces that suit your specific needs. For example, you might choose a larger bowl for ramen nights and a smaller one for snacks, or select a mug that fits your preferred grip and drink size. This approach lets you build a collection that’s both functional and personal.
