AWESOME CHIIKAWA MERCH RAHHHHH. The workers here are super kind and they always make sure to attend to your every need

Maya N.

So I don't really like anime at all but I'm very much into short form animation and yurukawaii type mascots. I like to drop by different places like this and see what's available. Usually I'm just happy to find some Chiikawa or Sanrio stuff but this place really surprised me. There is merch from Youtuber Kawaisouni here. I'm a huge fan but I have never heard of any non-Japanese knowing about Npo-chamu etc. as I don't think the episodes are even subtitled in English... I was super happy and totally ready to grab an Opanchu Usagi keychain but it was a very unhappy $14, so I figured I could live without it. For a 2D acrylic keychain I thought this pricing was wack. Everything I saw was so expensive that anything I was remotely interested in became immediately unappealing when I realized how much it was. The gacha is $2 per token, with everything costing upwards of 3-5 tokens (if not sold out already). I am honestly not sure who could pay $10 for a tiny plastic trinket in this economy. Overall, I really wasn't very impressed by most of the things I saw (standard trending anime figures, plushies, etc), but I have to say the selection here was really surprising for it being such a small store (I wasn't able to find any Puppet Sunsun stuff though). So, if you're willing to pay an arm and a leg for niche Japanese stuff, it might be worth having a look.

Lots of packs super cool place Good selcextion of anime. I would for sure come back and buy more packs

Joey I.

Nice collections, variety of products! Very nice people and the transactions were very smooth with little to no time taken.

Such a cozy little store for anime goods! They have blind boxes and bags, plushies, keychains and more. The prices are very standard and expected for imported goods.

Jason T.

One pieceeeee!!!! They have some cool cards and a huge zoro statue here. Imani and Johnny were very kind and helped by answering some of the questions we had.

Gachapon galore! There are so many good options here, one of the best stores I've come across.

Brenda C.

Dropped by this Anime store and saw a bunch of good selections. Store associate was nice and informative! We saw so many good selections compared to other shops we went to. Getting a few items !

We came in on a noble quest for Demon Slayer merch, armed w wallets and way too much enthusiasm!! This store is absolutely anime heaven. Not only did they deliver the goods, they didn't try to drown us in a sea of Funko Pop figures like some kind of vinyl tsunami. No offense to Funko, but sometimes you want a katana, not another tiny plastic head judging your life choices. Parking: Horrible. You'll have to circle back around 8-ish times to find one. Overall, would definitely stop by again when in the area. Parking is awful, but the shop is amazing!!

DD S.

Amazing service and great anime collection! Great spot for anime lovers to shop around. Have a variety of anime characters. From collectibles to keychains to bling bags and you cant go wrong its a must stop for anime for anime lovers.

I've been an anime fan for over 20 years and having grown up in this area, I've seen quite a few anime stores come and go. In this modern era where you can pretty much buy any anime merch you want online, Anime Station still manages to provide a unique, curated shopping experience with the following: 1) Constantly updating with new products and new anime goods. Everytime I visit, there's something different and it's fun to just browse. 2) Capsule machines. There's a good number of them and while they are just a bit pricey, the variety and unusual prizes are worth it. 3) Official goods. As far as I can tell, most of the items are officially licensed and displayed in an orderly, neat way. 4) Ichiban kuji. If you don't know, Ichiban kuji is a prize lottery where you buy tickets towards different tiers of prizes. There are ways to purchase the prizes online but it's much more convenient the way they have you purchase tickets here. The Ichiban kuji available here are a good mix of older anime and new ones. It's also really nice that they have the prizes on display so you have a better idea of the actual product. It's often hard to tell sometimes what a prize is really like from photos or sample illustrations online. Today when I stopped by, Kate and the young man working (sorry forgot his name) helped me out to purchase tickets for the Frieren Ichiban kuji and I was able to get the special last prize!! Thank you so much! read more

We wanted to just browse around a cool anime store because we just finished having dessert at Melo Melo so wanted to walk it off... SERVICE: Didn't really see any? Was there anyone working there? VALUE: There store seemed to be filled with really cool looking figures. They were priced on the high side though... There's a place to put your drinks in the front at... Parking is a bit challenging unless you arrive between 3-5pm then, you might have a chance at the underground parking lot... CATCH YOU LATER ANIME STATION!!!! read more

A fantastic selection of anime merch and blind boxes. They have such a good array of ichiban kujis to try! This review is belated, but I wanted to praise Li-Wei for being such an excellent store clerk! We went in on the Pokémon kuji and did fairly well. However, we tried to chase one of the prizes. He was so encouraging and positive that it made a financially painful decision so fun. They have a deal where you buy three kujis in one transaction, they give you a small discount. However, I think the more unique kujis are more expensive because they are rarer to find in the US. read more

Cool looking store from the outside, but the claw machines are a total ripoff! If you look at them closely, they're definitely designed to make you lose.

Rock and hip hop seem to predominate the space in this small shop. They also sell CDs and tapes. Follow them on Instagram @vinylsaurs. This is the best way to know when they are open as they don't adhere to the schedule posted on Yelp. This is also how I found out about their amazing sale that Saturday.

I recently visited Anime Station and was blown away by the incredible selection and atmosphere. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a life-sized statue of one of my favorite anime characters, making it clear that this store is a true haven for anime enthusiasts. The store is packed with a wide variety of merchandise, from adorable plush toys to intricate figurines. I found so many unique items that I hadn't seen anywhere else. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help and chat about the latest anime trends. One of the highlights for me was the selection of crane machines filled with exclusive goodies. It added an extra layer of fun to my shopping experience. Plus, the store was clean and well-organized, making it easy to find what I was looking for. Overall, Anime Station is a must-visit for any anime fan. Whether you're looking to add to your collection or just want to browse and soak in the anime vibes, this place won't disappoint. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I didn't expect this shop to have so many cute character goods! They had everything from anime figures to Sanrio blind boxes, and the displays made it really easy to browse. The staff was super nice and even gave me recommendations when I couldn't decide what to get. You can tell they keep up with the newest drops, since I saw a lot of recent collections in stock. If you like collecting anime merch or fun little gachas, this place is definitely a must-visit! read more

Stopped by Anime Station in Rowland Heights recently and was pleasantly surprised by their Ichiban Kuji selection. They've definitely added some interesting choices lately, with a mix of popular series and a few unexpected finds. The variety makes it fun to browse, and it's always exciting to see what new prizes are available. If you're into Kuji, it's worth checking out--you never know what you might come across. read more

That place felt massive. This location does feel a little smaller, but it's still massive. Plenty of vendors and variety, some shady vendors that will overcharge too much or just be plain rude, but overall it's a great experience as you will find very niche and interesting/weird stuff. You will also find vendors selling things for great prices. Make sure to bring cash and most vendors will give you a discount. The only downside is even with the ridiculously large parking area, it STILL fills up every single day. It's literally always busy, so prepare to walk a lot.

Vender refused, so I offered $20 for everything. It was amazing. Now, it's gotten way too commercial for my liking. Everything cost way more than they should, and You can't find a deal anywhere. Last week, I came in looking for a couple MTG to fill out my cEDH deck. Seller says they price things competitive off TCGPlayer website, and then quoted me $6over the tcg price for a $20 card.

I believe that these may be the same people who did Hot Pot Penjing based on their Instagram. (LOVED that place and wish that I had a chance to go there more and I missed the chance to get that Touko Aozaki figure...). They specialize in anime statues. That's right, STATUES. Not just regular figures. They have those huge, super detailed, scale figures with prices ranging from $300-1k+ If you are a big One Piece, DBZ, or Demon Slayer fan, this this the place for you. Lots of huge statues for these series. In addition to these statues, there are some fancier figures, Nesoberis ($35 which is the standard price), and some playmats of various series. I'm not super big into most shonen series (as a non-casual lmao), but they did have some bigger Fate series items like Formal Craft Rin and a Scathach figure. Would like to see some smaller scale figures here from other series too. Regardless, it's a fun place to check out if you are an anime fan!

Of course, the fact that it's like a museum, a lot of the things in here are pricey but you can tell the amount of work put into it by how detailed all the statues are. It's a rare sight and fun to visit if you're in this area! He lady worker didn't seem too interested and was kind of just looking down while the room filled with customers. Lots of kids as well so it's a little scary not to keep an eye on them in case they knock something down. You don't normally see stuff like this at regular malls so it's definitely a nice change of pace. Hoping to see more stuff like this at other malls but also not sure how often they sell something since these statues go for $500+! I saw one for $800 but it was beautiful. Love this type of art and I wonder how often they rotate what's on display? Curious and definitely visiting next time we're here! IG: @ammysalamii
