There were so many dresses I fell in love with, but were sadly above my budget. I also found a cute shirt with a Johnny Cash lyric on it, but was shocked it find out that it was $88 (for a cotton t-shirt). So, come to say, while this boutique is very cute, it has very high end prices, and some of the prices didn't match the quality for me. The selection was fabulous, and if it's within your budget, this place has some amazing clothes and accessories! Oh, and just a note, I did love the cute snacks on the bar cart when you walk in, as well as the snacks down low for kiddos shopping. Super cute.

The store is 2 stories and they sell everything from home goods, cards, gifts, clothes for the whole family and much more!

We picked up a vest that was clearly marked at $160. When we went to pay, the cashier told my wife the price was actually $200. We understand that pricing mistakes can happen -- that wasn't the issue. What disappointed us was the attitude. Instead of explaining the situation kindly or apologizing for the confusion, the employee was dismissive and rude. Unfortunately, that interaction really affected our experience and made us reconsider returning. I hope management can address the customer service aspect, because the store carries great products and has a lot of potential.

If I didn't need to return a purchase that day, I would have walked right back out. After waiting nearly an hour, my cashier was completely apathetic and unhelpful, and tried to reject my return altogether. I asked to speak with her manager, who was just as rude and dismissive, telling the cashier to "just take it back, it's fine" without even letting me finish speaking or bothering to check my items, which were unworn, tags still on, and purchased less than a week before. The entire interaction was condescending, rushed, and dismissive, with absolutely zero sense of customer service. Overall, this was one of the worst, most chaotic shopping experiences I've had in a long time. Definitely not what I expect from Nordstrom Rack, and I won't be returning anytime soon.

Also you can kinda forget it if you're over a size 6-8 which i definitely am. I do intend to come back because the allure of these lovely items is too great to stay away, but i hope it's a lot less crowded when i return. Good parking

I bought an amazing top from this store and ordered different colors of it to be shipped to my home since they did not them in store at the time. One of the ordered tops arrived defective. I contacted the owner, Sonia, and since I live an hour away from the store, she asked me to send it back and graciously offered to reimburse me the shipping cost of my return. I sent the item back for an exchange. She was leaving town that night, so she handed the matter over to her brother, Paul. Just like Sonia, Paul contacted me very promptly, got the order details over the phone, sent me the exchange, reimbursed me my shipping cost, and followed up with me to ensure I was happy with the 2nd delivery. Their products are great, the prices are reasonable, and the customer service is out of this place! Thank you Sonia and Paul! read more

There was not another soul in the store but two people (who were supposed to be) working. One was at first willing to look up the price, then the other rushed out and basically accused us of fabricating simple history and facts when it could have been so much easier, quicker, and polite to simply check on a price. These lazy, rude people are killing sales for the location -- and whoever should be managing them probably doesn't have any clue about the reputational damage and revenue loss they are creating.

They're very knowledgeable of everything that is available within their offering and it's nice that they have a texting service that tells you what kind of deals that are going on at any moment. They give a lot of samples with purchases and they do participate with both the Aritaum/Amore Pacific rewards program. Meaning that you can always go to any other Aritaum store (i.e. Garden Grove Arirang, H Mart Irvine, or other k town locations in Buena Park/LA). For me personally, I don't differentiate a product based on its designation for male or female. I think it's just what on your specific skin concerns. It seems like they've tried a lot of product as well so they can offer advice. Maybe come in ahead of time and always ask to feel the texture of products. They do accept credit card and Google / Apple pay so it's pretty easy. Parking lot can be a little bit challenging because it's shared with a ton of other Vietnamese businesses. Other than that, I would say check it out and don't worry about not knowing vietnamese. The owner and worker is nice and I feel like they provide better service than the one in Garden Grove since the other one is Catered more to Korean people. The past couple times I've been to the Garden Grove location, they usually don't pay much attention to me and don't offer me or inform me of anything going on. Because they assume that I'm just window shopping or not really a potential customer.
