Most items are fairly cheap and then they will also have some bigger ticket items that will be more. So make sure to check the price so there's no surprises. There's a big range from anything from snacks to household items to accessories there's many things that you can find here. This is a great store just like the other ones. The team is very helpful and accommodating. Make sure that you follow where in the checkout line is and their team members working the different registers will call you over if there is a queue. The parking can be kind of tough especially with a lot of one-way traffic and sometimes not everyone is paying attention. I can get a little bit congested but normally it's shouldn't be too bad under normal circumstances.

Whenever I have to go and grab stuff before or after going to Asayoru Maid Cafe in the same plaza,…read morethis Daiso has come in clutch, especially for cheki (polaroid) storage and oshikatsu goods. It also comes in handy when there's free events that get super hot and draining me, so their refrigerated drinks work really well for that. In the past, this shop was pretty bad with dimmed lights and not having the AC on, but things have gotten better in the past several months, which is great. There's 2 self check out kiosks and you can also check out with the staff there as well. Standard Daiso prices that have unfortunately also increased with the raised prices of just simply existing, but I did notice that a lot of the gummy candies that I used to get for the standard price is now almost $4. Why? Either way, not a bad Daiso. Sometimes it's a bit disorganized and messy, but that just goes to show how much stock that they have.

Buckle up--this wasn't just a delay, it was an ordeal…read more.. I rarely leave reviews anymore, but my experience at this Walgreens' photo department was so unacceptable that it warrants documenting. I submitted a photo order at 7:07 PM, and the confirmation email stated it would be ready by 8:15 PM. At 8:10 PM, I received another email saying there was a "delay," with no explanation, no updated ETA, and no further communication for the rest of the night. Because I needed the item for the following day, I waited. By 9:28 PM--nearly 2.5 hours past submission and an hour past the promised time--I called the store. A woman named Evelin answered, took my name, and said she would check on the order. I was placed on hold for 17 minutes. I could hear her helping other customers, talking to coworkers, and clearly forgetting I was even on the line. I eventually hung up and called back at 9:45 PM--only to have the call instantly hung up on. I called again at 9:46 PM and reached Bryant, who told me the order "was still printing" and asked whether I could come immediately since they close at 10 PM and would not be open tomorrow. While pulling up directions, another employee abruptly took the phone and asked, "How long until you get here?"--no greeting, no courtesy, just a rude, demanding tone. I said I'd arrive in 7 minutes. I got to the store at 9:58 PM and came face to face with that same employee, Andre. When I asked what information he needed, he stared at me for about 10 seconds, then said "I need your full name" without saying another word and a bored expression on his face. I gave him my name and told him I was the person he had spoken with on the phone. He walked to the photo area, and I followed. Only then did I find out the truth: the order was not printing at all. They hadn't even started it. I know this because the sticker on the print clearly showed a timestamp of 9:59 PM--one minute after I arrived. He had told me it was "still printing" when it hadn't been started at all. It took 18 minutes to complete the print. So after submitting the order at 7:07 PM--an order they promised would take about an hour--they didn't begin working on it until 9:59 PM, when I physically arrived at the store. The store was empty, it was a typical quiet Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving, and there was no legitimate reason for them to ignore the order. Instead of doing their job, they sent one vague "delay" email and then simply... stopped. No updates, no customer communication, no professionalism. In total, I waited: 2+ hours waiting past the original promised time 17 minutes on hold 3 minutes on the follow-up call 18 minutes in-store And not a single employee except Bryant showed even basic courtesy. Andre, in particular, was the rudest Walgreens employee I have ever encountered. His attitude, dismissiveness, and dishonesty were unacceptable. Whether he is a manager or simply acting like one, Walgreens Corporate needs to reevaluate who they allow to run their stores. The entire experience--from the lack of communication, to the forgotten phone call, to the lie about the order status, to the rude in-person interaction--was unprofessional, inconvenient, and extremely frustrating. This experience has ensured I won't be returning to this location at all.

They usually also participate in the Milkyway Marketplace events that occur at Atlantic Times Square. Stock is pretty decent and I've never really seen things out of stock. I've mostly seen them restock random things there or have huge boxed shipments in random spots of the store. Staff probably getting ready to add more things in. Sad day that Daiso is like $2.25 for items now, but le sigh, tis the society we live in. Sometimes things in certain aisles, like the storage, oshikatsu, stationery aisle are shoved everywhere and not as organized, but if they don't have a lot of staff, I can see why this wouldn't be a priority. They have self check out. Sometimes I've been here where the AC is barely on or not all of the lights are on, which is pretty funny, but not overly detrimental.

But no fear, they have so many other items to choose from. They offer books, collectable figurines, old game consoles and games, vinyls, and many other items. Some are Japanese related but not all of them are. I would say it's a pretty good sized store and everything is organized and labeled. It's fun rummaging through the boxes to see what goodies one might find, remember that this is a used book store so most items are pre-loved. I didn't get any Tokyo Sea items but I did get a pre-loved well kept Japanese Pressed vinyl of Air Supply's greatest hits! Priced at only $19, I thought it was a great find. Clean, well organized, lots of things to go through. Definitely a place worth checking out if you like hunting for treasure.

They also have CDs and other items. They have a great selection of books. Their prices are a tad high, but not insane. It is my understanding that they don't pay much for books you bring into sell, but I have found that to be true where ever I go. I just don't bother anymore and give my books away. The service is great. They know where the books are, there are so many, and they will actually help you and not just point in some direction. Parking is easy and free. The place is packed with books, but you can get through with no problem. I found a couple of books that I did not have and have not had the chance to read. All in all I was very happy.
