While I couldn't find what I was looking for, they do have a wide selection of albums and kpop merch. There is also this really good free bin where you can donate albums and pick from the pile. I can't really comment on pricing as this was my first ever kpop store but they seemed about average. Staff was super busy helping customers so I didn't really interact with them since I didn't buy anything. I will probably be back to pick up my SKZ and BTS light sticks as their prices are comparable to online prices; I prefer to support an independent brick and mortar than online (if possible). Looking forward to my next visit!

During my visit to the Gudetama Cafe we took a walk around the area to check out the stores. I came across KPOP Republic and wanted to see what kind of things they had for sale.

Parking: Large private lot VERDICT: One and done

As usual, I am surprised that I had not dropped a review for this bookstore, and I am here at least once a month, at the very least. Immense selection of books greeting cards, gifts, fiction, nonfiction everything is arranged and organized accordingly. I just love this bookstore. Great big parking lot that is free but it is shared among many businesses at the Long Beach town center. Great experience each time. Prices are fair (compared to Amazon?) at least you can actually pick up a book. Read it at the café and if you decide to buy it go for it if not, then just return it.

You could potentially get away from buying books and just open them up and read them there at the store. They have a large variety that I dare say it's at the same level as if you shopped online, they seem to also have "saucey" content in the mangas sections. The staff is friendly and are knowledgeable so they can recommend you a book! They also have this... $40 Yearly Barnes and Nobles Subscription that knocks off 10% (20% at rare occasions within the year) for every purchase as well as a free cafe drink upgrade if the bookstore has a cafe (NOT A STARBUCKS, THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT STATBUCKS GIFT CARDS), and a free annual tote bag (you cannot double dip for a second bag until you renew it). Unless you're planning on spending $400+ for the next 12 months or you're a regular cafe go'er, I wouldn't say this is for you. The seating for the cafe is fine, but can fill up real easily with most customers that intend to stay more than an hour.

The OC Record Show has been a staple in the OC community for music lovers and vinyl collectors…read more They have shows on the last Sunday of every month except for December. Early admission is $10 to get in before 10am and general admission is $5 after 10am. To get here, there is a free parking lot with a good amount of spots. Inside, they have a bunch of vendors with so many crates to dig through. Vendors all have different prices and selection of genres. Wifey and I had a fun time perusing around and ended up leaving with a Getz/Gilberto and Snoh Aalegra vinyls. I would definitely recommend checking out the show for those looking to explore new records for their collection.

I also happen to be a vinyl collector so I thought this would be a nice little adventure. Let's see how it went. Located a stone's throw from Knotts Berry Farm at the UFCW Union Hall, the OC Record Show is a crate digger's paradise. There's plenty of parking in their lot and it's free. It's $5 to get in after 10am. Early bird is $10 and you can get in at 7. The space is huge and there are tons of vendors. It's not just records but most physical media. CDs, cassettes....i think I even spotted so laser discs. Some vendors are better organized than others but as always, your patience can be rewarded! The OC Record Show has a special guest signing each month so I'll definitely come back based on who it is. The signing itself was very organized and the employees were all very helpful. Looking forward to seeing who is next (follow them on instagram if you're curious too). Highly recommended!

First, let me talk about their movie collection. Their DVD selection is awesome (thanks to the…read moreowner who has made that aspect a pet project). Most movies are found alphabetically. Along another wall are additional films sorted by "Hero." The "hero" is the common Hindi film term for the male lead. Tip: If you can't remember the name of a film , at least remember the name of the "hero," say, Sunil Dutt, or Raj Kumar. Heroines, while pretty (often stunning) won't be of any use as the films are invariably associated with the hero. The collection is immense. If you are into old films especially the classic black and white ones, then this place is your Mecca if you will. There are some Bengali films and some Punjabi as well. Like other places you can order titles if you can't find them. The music section is good. Not great, despite "music" being in the title. Yes, they have a good selection of CDs for most categories of Indian music, but searching for particular artists is not always easy as it is usually out of order to some extent. Furthermore the depth of titles for specific artists or genres is not what I'd expect or have seen in a few other places. In all fairness, the size of the store doesn't lend to a great amount of volume, and yet in reality it packs quite a bit for it's size. When in doubt or confused, ask one of the salespeople. Most of the time they are helpful, and one of the ladies in particular is relatively knowledgeable. If you're looking for instruments, understand that they carry "Bina." Bina is a Delhi based manufacturer that makes nearly every type of Indian instrument...from sitars, to sarods to tablas. Price wise, Bina intruments are relatively inexpensive to modest pricing depending on the level of quality of the instrument. (a student level sitar with decent finishing may cost around $500.00 or so) If you're looking to learn to play an intrument, then the intruments carried here aren't a bad way to start. However, if you are a decent musician with some experience and are looking for a good quality instrument, then I suggest you go online and search for better manufacturers...but expect to pay accordingly :) Anyway, Ziba is a fun place to browse and shop if you're a Hindi film nut or want to find some good music. Oh, another tip: if you're thinking of starting out into the strange world of Bollywood films, understand that suspension of disbelief is a term that probably was originally meant for these films in particular. If you ever had an odd appreciation for Busby Berkley girls and their elaborate costumes and dancing then you should feel quite at home watching a Bollywoood film - especially some of the older ones from the 50's and 60's. Along with the heros I mentioned above, Dev Anand was good if you appreciate the Bohemian. As for heroines, well I'm prejudiced and am an enormous fan of Nutan (first Miss India BTW!). Suchitra Sen was stunning, but I'd go for her Benagali films such as "Pothey Holo Deri" as Bengali was her native tongue and she often appeared stilted in her Hindi roles. The one exception to this is "Devdas" which is wonderful. As for music, while Lata Mangeshkar is rightfully lauded, Geeta Dutt is often overlooked.
