Typical Daiso store that sells 100 yen items at US$1.75. There are certain items that can only be seen in the States. They do have some clearance discount items at US$1 too.

I had a great experience there. Very cheap and the best place to buy your school supplies, house supplies, etc.Also, you can grab food as well if you like. They also have several k-pop, and cute stuff to buy.Overall, I liked how they used Japan Yens that was cool and had a sign to help the people who are not familiar with yen prices was an opportunity to learn it if you plan to go to Japan for a trip or vacation.The worker was a hard worker and did a splendid good job with service. I was happy that they were able to communicate with paper to write down if any deaf customers were buying like me! Shout out who helped me communicate with me even though I was so embarrassed that I was in the credit area which I only planned to buy for cash.The only I had an issue was I couldn't figure out what the price was exactly because there weren't any prices on the tag was difficult to tell what the price was.

My love for Daiso never die. I feel delighted when I found out there’s Daiso in California. When I resided at Toronto, there was none.Lovely Japanese market with cute everyday items. I often come in Daiso to buy something, and end up getting a bunch of other extra stuff that I never expect to buy. This habit didn’t change at all.This store chains in the US offer price in Yen with a conversion board in every isle. It’s kind of confusing at first, but you get used to it over time.

I have lived in California for 18 years, previously I traveled a lot, I had the joy of knowing 36 countries and I am interested in communicating with people from other places, that is why I learned several languages and now I am studying Japanese. I love the culture and entering Daiso is the prelude to a trip to Quixote in Japan, everything is very neat and clean. They have pretty much everything. You can find large bowls for ramen, chips, candy, makeup, gardening stuff, hats, underwear, I love the shopping bags that I use instead of the supermarket ones. Great price and lots of choices. Walking through its corridors I lose track of time. It opens every day at 10 am and closes at 8 pm on Sunday to Thursday and Fridays and Saturday close at 9 pm . The staff is friendly and always helpful when I need Don't miss out on the experience. I highly recommend this store for a colorful moment.

Great spot for accessories or home goods. Snacks and some appliances are also present.Fairly priced but obviously not super high grade quality.Parking is tight but there are spots depending on the time of day.

This store is fun and fantastic just like all the other Daiso stores. Daiso has a lot of school and craft supplies, cleaning supplies, makeup and nail polish, storage containers, snacks and drinks, Croc like slippers , party supplies, bowls and cups and more. Most items as $1.50 and some may be $2 or a little more, but still a great bargain to be had and the quality is better than the dollar store. Items that are more than $1.50 have clear signs. The only tip I have is to go early or late in the afternoon. This Daiso is in the same shopping center as Mitsuwa Marketplace so parking can sometimes be tough. Happy shopping.

Not a large location, but still has most of the things you might need!

You can find many Japanese household goods here for $1.75 each only, except for some pricier items that have their price marked in Yen, and you have to use their conversion table, which is posted everywhere, to find out the price in USD. Most of the stuff are pretty usable, but of course you can’t expect the highest quality for $1.75. And there is a lot of cutely designed stuff. Compared to the Daiso on Stevens Creek which is only 3 miles away, we feel this Daiso has more variety in the stuff that they carry.

Nice ADA parking right up front. there's a good selection of Halloween stuff right by the door and there is lots and lots of LA Colors makeup available. Noticeably most of the things in this Daiso actually were a $1.50. there were not as many organization tools / boxes available as at other Daiso's but it could have just been the time of the year, or what stock was available. There were a lot of food and Candy items to choose from, more than I have seen at other daiso's. Plenty of stationary & an excess of paper goods that I'm sure will be a consumer's dream for the upcoming the holidays. check out with quick & efficient, even though it was fairly busy. a decent, clean place but not the best Daiso I have been to.

We have this store in Michigan. If you need small cable management, this place will have accessories that you thought you wouldn’t need, yet need. Ex. I bought an iPhone cable management winding box. #gamechanger

Never notice they got camping stuff, the yard mat for keeping stray cat away is pretty decent too, I use it on the door to avoid my cat from scratching it...Also found ice cream mold

Lovely store with great associates that would make sure you’re finding everything as needed. It was very clean and had great organization for such a busy store!!

I’ve been to this shop many times; it’s a great deal of stuff but some things are very cheaply made and you end up tossing them really fast. Everything is inexpensive but still items like slippers, table linen, cooking pots and pans, etc. are not quality made. I love their dishes, cups and wrapping paper. Their makeup and lipstick that I purchased were not good. They have some food items that are good. I like the concept of the store; but many things are a total waste of money. Staff is nice here, however, it’s like a race to see how fast they can get you out of the store. I’m not comfortable being rushed. Hard to park here for sure and forget about handicapped parking; it’s non-existent because the few they have in this lot are always all taken.

If you seen those subscription boxes for Japanese treats and candy politely pass. You are mostly paying for shipping, handling, packing material and the convenience of not going to Daiso. You can get so much more for your money and exactly what you want. Come during non peak hours to enjoy all what this store has to offer. Yes, a lot of things are cheaply made but there are some gems if you look hard enough. I really like the S hooks, very handy around the house.

Store is really clean and was basically empty of customers late'ish on a pandemic Saturday. Staff was very friendly and they had a nice selection of random nick nacks. I was too late to find any Halloween stuff--but they're getting in Christmas stuff already.

In 2024, the selection is really sad. I'd recommend going to the one in Cupertino because they now have better stock and accept Apple Pay.2022-2023 review: A solid Diaso. Usually has decent selection, and is always clean. Cashiers/employees are helpful. They play music somewhat loudly, and it's often 80s ballads.

We liked this location as much as the flagship store in Cupertino. It had a large variety of items in a smaller footprint but we efficiently bought most of our omiyage in this one trip. Store was bustling and there was a lot of inventory especially of the kids toys and cute Rilakkuma stuff that is so popular. Will definitely come here again on out next trip.

My love for Daiso grows every time I shop here. I always come with a specific item in mind but end up purchasing an armful of useful products lol. The only negative point here is that there's often a wait at checkout due to popularity and/or short staff.

I go here often as they have a lot of the essentials I need such as home products and other things. Affordable prices and a nice selection of stationery. I mostly go here for my masking tapes, kawaii stickers, and some cooking items like a cheap strainer. When I'm just strolling around, I end up buying quite a bit. Evil daiso! LOL. If this chain shuts down, my life will be doomed for. ><

Always love a good browse at Daiso. Only minor drawback: some items do not have the ¥ count on the product which makes it really difficult to find the price. 🤪There were a varied selection of small baskets on the back-left wall (from the main entry) that had no pricing info at all.

It's a small place but you can spend hours in the store because they have sooo much stuff that's interesting, cheap but made in Japan so you know it's not gonna burn out, rip or break easily

Daiso is your upscale Dollar General replacement. However it has everything you want and need as opposed to anything ya could need that's gonna break in 5 minutes. Always a great place to find the odd ball item you're looking for, that you can't find anywhere else!
