7/4/25 Happy 4th. Last time I shopped I think they started at $1.50 or $1.75......

Happy 4th of July. Quality/Quantity - One of my wife's favorite brands, not mine. Just noticed they raised the price again, now starting at $2.25. Inflation continues. I was hoping to find an ice cube scoop, but failed. Amazon here I come... Atmosphere - Small location. Open 7 days a week from 9am to 9pm; Sundays from 10am to 8pm. Plenty of mall parking, even today on this holiday. Service - Self service. Price - Still affordable. But as mentioned above, prices continue to increase. See menu of pricing. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1977, with 6,000+ worldwide locations, and over 150 in the US.

When we walked in very well greeted! Being greeted is huge for me. We walked around so much fun things to buy. The only problem is I don't understand the prices. Of course I didn't take a picture of that! I just went the register asking a times! I believe the prices should be in English as well. I would buy a lot more. So after waiting in line asking prices. I was kind of over it! Exactly cashiers just a bit much asking prices. Especially have to wait until others got rang up Thanks again cashiers!

Been to this location times. The place is quite small but they carry a lot of items that I love especially Sanrio. this time around we purchased more household items and didn't splurge on "wants". My hubby picked up a few items to give as gifts for his co workers. Now, of course the standard price is $1.75. Still a great value even though they have lots of items there that cost more. They will have different colored sticker label on the item and you'll need to refer to their price guide posted throughout the store. If I'm ever in the area again I'll definitely visit again. I highly recommend this place.

Daiso is like the Asian version dollar store. I would say it's a bit more higher quality. All items start at $1.50 and up. Pretty similar concept to Target's Playground & Dollar Spot. This store is smaller than most other Daiso stores. The aisles are small and usually cluttered. I can't even look at something for more than two minutes without someone saying excuse me and me having to move for other people to get through and vice versa. Not really able to enjoy my shopping experience here. Every time I drop in, they would have new items. I don't know when they have added this, but they now have Sanrio products. My childhood favorite! So nostalgic. That says so much of my age though.. ha! I had to grab a few items ;) All of my office supplies and snacks are bought here. They have really cute stuff! And they last pretty long too. Daiso is one of those stores you don't really need but want. You'll have the intention of only getting an item or two but will end up getting more than you'll need.

Oh! If you haven't discovered Daiso, you must!!! Especially now that the Dollar Tree has increased prices to $1.25. This is a Japanese store with very cool gadgets. From office supplies to kitchens tools, from animal pillows to electronic helpers. Just love, love, love this shop!!!

I've been coming to this Daiso location on multiple occasions now and have enjoyed my experience here every time. As noted in almost every other review, this is an exceptionally small Daiso location compared to most. However, it is quite impressive how they've managed to pack in nearly everything that could be expected from other Daiso stores in such a limited space. The one downside is that it can get very crowded here, especially on the weekends. Especially when the queue to pay is long it can be a bit of a claustrophobic mess but it really helps that everything in this store is placed in a very neat and ordered fashion. The workers are excellent as well in keeping the store in good shape and in being friendly to customers.

I am a huge fan of Daiso stores!!! You can never leave without buying something or a full bag of random items! I always look forward to their stock of Sanrio, Hello Kitty and now BT21 items!!!!! This store is much smaller than others but you will still find something to splurge on!!!! If you are a fan of Asian snacks do NOT come here hungry. They don't have a huge selection of stationary but they still have a decent selection of pens, paper, office supplies.

Tiny store, so they limit the amount of people that can be inside at once during COVID. It was really stuffy in there and I immediately felt lightheaded, I feel bad for the employees but maybe they don't mind it. Has everything you need, and see in a basic Daiso. Kitchen stuff, clothing, pet supplies, stationery, gardening supplies, bath supplies, arts & crafts, etc. My kitchen is basically full of Daiso bowls, plates, and chopsticks. Pretty good quality for ~$1.50. Check it out if you live nearby and need everyday things.

Different designs from the Daiso store in my area!
