Daiso was founded in 1977, with the name meaning To Create Big. It originated from the 100Yen…read morestores that are all over Japan, This location in Long Beach is well run, with fully stocked shelves, ranging from very specific products used for one particular purpose to everyday things that one would constantly have to replenish. Slowly browsing the shelves is like walking through a series of infocommercials...very possible that what you buy was a complete waste of money, but having the risk be minimal since it's only a dollar. When we went to Japan many years ago (before Daiso made it to the US in 2005), 100 yen truly meant a dollar. But the Japanese economy has really struggled compared to the US, to the point where 100 yen is only worth 64 cents now in 2024. Another thing I noticed is how they handle labeling of prices. Both 100yen stores and US dollar stores keep the effort of pricing products low, by selling everything at one even price (i.e. a dollar or 100yen). Of course, with inflation, this is not sustainable...prices need to go up. So rather than having to relabel everything as prices go up, instead Daiso uses the prelabeled price in YEN to represent a CODE..translated to a dollar amount per charts that are found throughout the store. And the vast majority of product has no price...which means that it is the default price of the entire store (which in 2024 is $1.75). Unlike 99cent or dollar stores in the US which sell mostly excess products that you can find in department or grocery stores, much of the products in Daiso are made exclusively for them. Thus, you can find real useful things here, at decent quality. On this visit (which we made only because we saw this store near the place where we had lunch), we ended up getting 2 china soup bowls, loose tea leaf filters, a fat/scum skimmer for soups, a spring loaded glass bottle for Q-tips (or in my case, Glide flossers), and a 10 pack of clasp chip bag clips. And none of them had marked prices, so defaulted to $1.75 each. Even here, they ask if you want a bag, needing to charge you the dime if you answer 'Yes' (that's California). So we always say 'No', and because this time we had not brought reusable bags, used the bowls to contain the knick-knacks back to our car. Would have been a very different story if we had walked, but alas, Brand Daiso is one of those stores that is not within walking distance from our place.

Just be sure to check the "best by" dates on items. I scored meat that was a range between $4-$6 off since it was supposed to "expire" the day of. This was a steal because all I had was $14 and my total for 2 picnic packs of chicken, 1 pack of chicken breasts, and a fee other items came out to $14.02. This was definitely a rare occasion. I hope they don't get rid of this location since it's so convenient to the neighborhoods surrounding it.

Once I was getting rung up and I asked for a bag at the end and the cashier got all upset because she didn't charge me for a bag. That's not my fault, she didn't ask! And then she said "I definitely did ask!" But I know she didn't because I was standing there waiting for her to ask me so I could say "yes!" Instead she was super grumpy about it and acted like I ate her last donut. Nobody ever helps bag groceries either. The line could be down the aisle and they will stand there looking bored and irritated while you fill 3 bags of groceries on your own. The cherry on top was today's interaction. I Bought a box of cereal and a bag of chips and a week later realized the cereal had a hole in the bag and the chips were partially opened. Went back to return it without the receipt but assumed they would just give store credit or look up the transaction from my card and the shift manager had the nerve to say "how do I know you're not scamming me without the receipt?" HUH?!? Over a $5 transaction?? Just ridiculously bad customer service then he wanted to stand there and argue with me about it saying only the owner can look up previous transactions. Again... HUH?! What kind of low rent business can't even look up a transaction on their POS system? And what kind of 22 year old manager manager uses curse words with a customer and wants to condescend me to explain how a receipt works like it's not 2026. I used to go to this store about 4 times per week cause I live close but I'll never go again if they want to be petty over a $5 transaction. I can be petty too!

I had a cashier by the name of Gabriel (skinny tall kid with shoulder length hair), & I was observing him while I was in line and he would not greet any of the customers, he would proceed to give them dirty looks, and I think he mumbled "thank you" once to a customer. As I approached my turn in line, he mumbled if I needed a bag and I said no, and that was all he said to me during the entire transaction! He did not greet me nor thank me, and he just handed me my reusable bag, and I did not say one word as well. What kind of customer service is this? Gabriel looked miserable and as if he did not want to be there. I should have told him life's too short to be unhappy, and if he was not going to give his best then he should look for another job.

Parking can be a little struggle as it was pretty packed when we arrived. First off, right when I walked in I was greeted by the three amazing and very funny ladies. Especially the one behind the counter. She was a major hoot that we all got a laugh with. It makes the shopping experience way better. It's broken down into two different sides. The main being where there cashier is and the women's department. They also have a pretty massive selection with accessories, jewelry and shoes. Plus shoes were half off. The other section house more of the home wares stuff, trinkets, glassware, furniture, babies and men's. There were loads of dish ware. Its nice to see that the place was very neat and organized which is also a major plus when browsing through. Makes it more easy to pick something up without having to dig through piles. There's not a big selection for men and kids as it was mainly a little sections. But pretty extensive collection for chinas and crystals. Woman's had the entire section for clothing and accessories. The staff were all amazing and friendly. Such sweetheart and major dolls. Chatting with them was so fun. Found out that the money goes to different charities which makes the shopping experience more enjoyable knowing that you helped someways. I was glad to walk into a cute little shop.
