Goodies is definitely one of those places that is near and dear to me…read more Once I started to get into furnishing my own space, I really wanted to focus on intentional pieces as well as high-quality without breaking the bank. And goodies checks off all those boxes. Whether it's a beautifully crafted or sourced marble stands, that's a perfect addition to a bookshelf, really great plates, a Matcha set, or my personal favorite, random vases goodies has it all. I would also keep an eye out on their Instagram so you can get their harder pieces, like the ladder, stools, as well as great teakwood, charcuterie boards.

Really disappointing experience, especially because I was genuinely excited to get these stools…read more I ordered two A-Frame Curved Stools on May 17. On June 12, Goodies texted me: "We got your pre order for END OF AUGUST pick up" and "We will send you a text when it's ready for pick up." August came and went with no update. I followed up myself in mid-September and was told, "our factory messed up this particular style and the corrected shipment will arrive second week of oct." Four months after ordering, I still don't have the stools. I understand production problems happen. My issue is the lack of communication or accountability. When I expressed frustration about the delay, the response was simply, "we can issue you a refund if you'd like." I've also seen other customers describe similar experiences with delays and poor communication, so mine does not seem unique. I still really liked the stools, but the way this order has been handled has been very frustrating.

The storefront is open where you can purchase the masks or you can order them online as well. Parking: There is street parking in front of the store as well as a pickup area too. I would definitely recommend you get masks here to support a local business and the quality is amazing :)!!!

I went in yesterday and there were 2 employees there, no one greeted me. It was silent and awkward as I was the only one in there. Also, the photos are from a few years ago and it looks like the aesthetics of the place had changed a bit from what I was expecting. They had a variety items from sage, to cards to clothes but nothing caught my eye.

Bianca and Matt were incredibly helpful, and Matt especially impressed me with his plant knowledge. He really knew his stuff and made the whole experience even better! Parking can be a little tricky, but I found street parking right out front without too much hassle. Totally worth it. Highly recommend!

Of all the shops dying off in Chinatown and becoming galleries and other things, this one has been…read moregoing strong since 1938 -- when businesses in "Old" Chinatown, near Olvera Street, were relocated into what was then Little Italy, forming "New" Chinatown. Tucked in the Central Plaza, which was opened and dedicated the same year Sincere opened, you can find it across from the fountain where people throw their pocket change, aiming for the receptacles labeled "Wealth," "Health," and "Luck." Tourists love Sincere for the shopping, perusing their stock of fans, lanterns, figurines, porcelain, hats, and other knickknacks after they bang on the gongs at the front entrance for "Good Luck" and "Money" and rub the giant Buddha statue's well-worn belly that greeted them as they entered. I dig Sincere for the things hanging above the shelving -- ceremonial dragon and lion heads, giant Peking opera masks, and massive lanterns -- and the nice people who own the place. It's one of the few shops left that embodies the old spirit of Chinatown.

this is where i shop for folding fans. from decorated paper fans to larger sized nylon beauties,…read moreyou can pick up a fine variety of self-propelled cooling mechanisms. the nylon fans have a plastic armature that is remarkably sturdy and long-lived. i have at least two of these fans from an era when i was commuting across los angeles without air conditioning during the usually hot to witheringly-hot summers. sincere hails from the golden age of chinese 'gift' stores in california. and to this day stocks low-priced items ranging from tiny plastic swords, to more regular-priced things like paper lanterns, kites, parasols & wind chimes. i lament the disappearance of tiny spy cameras that used to be a staple item. sincere is also satisfying when you want to shop, but not somewhere spendy.

**OK INDOOR HOUSE PLANT SELECTIONS IN CHINATOWN**…read more After eating at nearby Broadway Cuisine, we wandered into this garden shop while exploring the area. PARKING There are nearby lots, but we had street metered parking. Most likely limited, especially on weekends. AMBIANCE A typical Broadway storefront in the heart of Chinatown. The space is airy and bright, with natural light filtering in from above. PLANTS I purchased a 12" watermelon peperomia for $40. They didn't have the fiddle-leaf fig I was hoping to find. Credit cards are accepted. The overall plant selection is decent, and everything looked healthy. OVERALL The staff was pleasant but hands-off, not informative unless you ask. I didn't receive care instructions until I was practically out the door. Pricing leans medium-high (but reasonable), so this isn't a budget-friendly stop, but the quality is solid, and it's nice to support a local, family-owned business.

The Hunt…read moreVintage hits both of those perfectly with two pinball machines and two film photo booths and one of them is a color photo booth. If you're not a photo booth nerd you might not know that these are EXTREMELY RARE nowadays. There are probably less than ten of them in the US out for the public to use (maybe even fewer than that!) Anyhow Michael is a great guy and super friendly. Helpful and enthusiastic he invited me to some live bands playing there later in the day too so there's a lot more that must go on here aside from the furniture, photobooths and pinball. Definitely gonna be a regular stop of mine every time I am in LA!

I made small talk with some people and this very kind older gentleman approached me to talk to me for a bit. I think he was the one in charge of the store for the afternoon/evening shift on a Saturday evening. 10/10 place.
