I've walked in and looked around , but never made a purchase. Today was different. I bought stuff. $7.50 in total, tax included. It's the incoming 兔年, and I'm decorating/plastering my front door. This store is not for the masses. It's for the Chinese that want to put up traditional Chinese banners welcoming the new year. Or just to put up banners in general. $2.00 each for 揮春 $0.75 each for 利是封 aka 紅包 for you Mandarin speakers The product is old school. 婆婆 would be the one buying stuff here. None of the more modern decor interpretations that you may find at T&T is here. 福字揮春, check 紅燈籠, check 利是封, check There's other stuff in here, but they've got you covered for your 過年 festivities Reasonably cheap, guy behind the counter seemed helpful to customers. I just may find myself here again. Cash only i think.

A massive centre bustling with food vendors and a massive grocery store…read more The food court really made me feel like I was in a night market. So many vendors with so many options. The food was laid out so picturesque at some stalls as well. Everything was very much made fresh to order as well. The facility itself is fairly clean and the restrooms seem to be serviced regularly. I do wish the entrances smelled less like cigarettes but they can't really control what goes on outside and the way that it wafts inside.

Besides jewelry and some clothing items, there are small items for gifts, as well as things for the home. I have bought an Ellen mug here when it was on sale. There are also more kitchen stuff I am eyeing which I will be getting once I get my kitchen in order. The staff is usually very welcoming and does not follow you around or hover ceaselessly. I appreciate that as it allows me to just stop and think of the item and if it will suit my place.

According to other Yelpers, he seems to always be well-dressed. He also has a cute pet daschund who walks around the store. I love their tea selections here. My favorite is the Chocolate Strawberry tea bags in a tin can. I love loose leaf teas more, but I'm pretty lazy with cleaning out loose leaf teas, so I tend to get the tea cans with the tea bags. I alao enjoy browsing their soap, bath and skincare area. I love their Lollia and Tokyo Milk lotions, especially Tokyo Milk's "Rose", "Honey Moon" and "Let them Eat Cake" handcreams. Although a bit on the pricey side, this is my to-go to store for teas. The teas have strong great flavor, not like the weak tasting tea bags you get at grocery stores. I also like that there are no pushy sellers like the commission-hungry staff at Teavana, and the atmosphere at David's Tea stores feels minimal and cold. Nikaido feels so warm and friendly whenever I visit, and the staff leave me alone to browse for as long as I like. I highly recommend this boutique for tea lovers. You won't be disappointed!
