Came in to fix the fan on my PS5 along with 3 controllers. Only 2 controllers were able to be fixed as one of them did have water damage, but it's always good to check. Another reason I say they're honest, is because the tech told me I could still use pieces from the damaged controller as parts.

I was playing it for a bit while the owner (I assume) was replacing the battery cell of my Japanese pokemon crystal that I brought in. Speaking of, I am glad they offered this service and the fee is not bad at all. The owner is friendly and answered all my questions I had about my wii console and explained the process of replacing the battery cell of the Gameboy cartridge well. I will definitely stop by next time and will take my friends here!

It was very convenient having to only pay $50 for a GBA SP (in great condition) after trading in a few games I knew I wouldn't play again! Employees are also super friendly and patient. Really hoping to see this place flourish. :)

They normally have a fair amount of sealed for different TCGs with singles in their glass case. I do wish they did carry more One Piece singles/sealed.

They handled it very well and professionally, which showed me that Kingslayer respects and cares for their community. I'll be visiting their new store once they change locations!

Inside, they are usually hosting card events and games are filled with tons of Pokemon TCG, Magic, One Piece, and Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I was able to pick up some of the new Mega Evolutions packs here. Their prices are very fair and all of the staff are really friendly and helpful. Be sure to check out their social media to see when they have new stuff in stock!

Maybe it's the proximity of this particular location to Japanese businesses or perhaps there's just…read moresomething about this part of OC, but I found this Bookoff to be a delight. Sure, the parking can be hectic sometimes. After all, there is a Tokyo Central right next to it, but that's what makes this location so good. You can spend hours perusing the aisles for some good finds but can take a break and get some Pocky or a bento or a Fanta nearby without ever breaking theme. What's even better is it feels like the employees enjoy working here. They greet you warmly when you walk in and that hospitality Japan is known for is reflected in this staff, even if they aren't Japanese and this isn't Japan; the spirit still carries. So does the nostalgia walking through the aisles. If you played video games throughout the 90s to now you'll see pieces of your childhood everywhere you look: a Super Famicom with Chrono Trigger for sale or a Vegeta action figure going Super Saiyan or the many mangas of Rumiko Takahashi such as Ranma 1/2 or Inuyasha. In encapsulates otaku culture through the ages well. Even looking for books of different genres and authors can be found, some new but most used. It doesn't mean they aren't good. It just means they're pre-loved. This means you can get a bargain for some books you might have been meaning to check out for a great price. They also have book sales all the time. If you feel a need to lighten your collection at home, whether it be action figure or games you no longer play, Bookoff buys them from you. It means your cash could go even further if you have things to sell. Though the size of Bookoffs in America does have me wishing they were larger like their Japanese counterparts they do pack quite a lot for the space they occupy. You can spend 15 minutes to multiple hours here, depending on what you're looking for. I say that means it's worth checking out. After all, the worst that can happen is if you don't find anything to tickle your fancy you can always go to Tokyo Central or IKEA right after.

I love this spot. It's one of the OGs, and I've been coming here for a long time. There are some…read moregenuinely great finds--plenty of $1 items, solid deals on DVDs, and every once in a while something really special slips through the cracks. That said, the pricing is all over the place. It's obvious they rely heavily on some kind of algorithm to assign value, and when it works in your favor, it really works. I've picked up items worth hundreds of dollars for a few bucks. But the flip side is rough--things priced at $100 that you could easily find for $10-15 elsewhere. That inconsistency is both the magic and the frustration. Selling to them is another story. They'll give you next to nothing unless it's something truly high-end, and even then, you're usually better off selling elsewhere. The margins are so far off at times that it really makes you wonder who's willing to take those deals. They do require ID and seem to follow the rules, but the reality is this kind of setup attracts people who either don't know what they have, don't care, are impatient, or are desperate. And yes, it also likely attracts people unloading stolen goods because they know the items are valuable, even if the payout is low. The store itself is very DIY. Nothing is cataloged, staff can't really help you with inventory, and what you see is what's available. Customer service is minimal--they're mostly focused on sorting and loss prevention. There's also an awkward dynamic between management and floor staff that you can feel when you're in there. At the end of the day, this place is a gamble. Sometimes you walk out feeling like you scored big. Other times you find something rare and exciting that's priced so high it might as well be untouchable. It almost screams desperation and lack of knowledge on the selling side--but ironically, that's exactly what brings in so much good stuff. If you know what you're doing and have patience, this place can be incredible. If not, it'll just feel chaotic.

*Updating my review to something more neutral but still reflects my experience. I found out that…read morethis store's short staffed and that's probably why there's a lack of clear communication. I hope they're able to get the help that they need to help support their community, but I still stand by the frustration experienced when attempting to reach out multiple times.* I've spent a good amount of time calling this store trying to get ahold of a worker for clarification on a tournament they are holding. The phone doesn't even fully ring before you get sent to voicemail so I want to assume they're declining the call, but hopefully I'm wrong. Called since their opening and between the hours and still no luck talking to someone. They don't respond to their socials either. This feels very unwelcoming to new folks trying to stop by and support their shop. Unfortunately I cant comment on anything else from this shop as this was enough to deter me and my friends from wanting to visit, but it's great to hear from their community about their situation which clearly means their locals are happy playing there.

If you're looking for TCG, always come early and speak to the staff about what they have coming in because you guys know the struggles are real right now!

Then I was told that two of the gaming systems didn't work . I had no issues with BookOff. BookOff tested them, they had no issues.

I've been tempted to pull my business and go elsewhere, but I've built a relationship with this store.
