Front entrance

Came here today to look around and see what's new. I love this location. They have everything very organized and immaculate inside. I did notice there prices now start at $2.25 instead of $1.75. It was bound to happen eventually I guess. I found som cure Sanrio themed hair clips and bathroom accessories. Check out was fast and easy. They gave to self checkout kiosks the front. Excellent customer service here.

Quality/Quantity - My wife's favorite "dollar" store. Too bad they did NOT have one thing she was looking for; thanks for saving me some $$. She spent an hour here shopping, while I hung around the mall deciding where to eat for dinner or dessert. Atmosphere - Good size location, see pictures. Open 7 days a week from 9am or 10am to 8pm or 9pm. Plenty of mall parking, but crazy busy on this Friday evening. Service - N/A. Price - Prices start at $1.75 to $15.25. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1977 and with 6000+ worldwide locations.

The new price list

I ended up shopping madly because I have a whole new list of items. I was blown away by the selection of reusable or improved items. They had reusable silicon food storage bags, reusable "paper" towels, silicon coated sheets for baking. Definitely a step up from the usual dollar store offering. I ended up with the most unexpected stuff, shelf liners, and foam weatherstripping. The readers were so nice I finally succumbed and brought two pairs. These are the lightest weight, comfortable and accurate $2 readers I've encountered. They blow away my Foster Grant readers. The half lens shape is just what I need since I'm fine at the 4 foot plus distance and just need magnification at about 12 inches. I was looking for a clay pot but no luck. They did have a small collection of cast iron and what looked like stoneware skillets but I have tons of skillets and even these adorable tiny bits of cookware failed to tempt me. I was looking for noodle bowls and ended up with some small bowls. Later I found some at 99 Ranch and the price was so high I was sure it couldn't possibly be noodle bowls. Perhaps they have gold ingots embedded. The collection of hand tools was well stocked but mine are in great shape. As usual I stocked up on small kitchen tools, cleaning brushes, spray bottles and the like. Of course Target is closer and reasonably priced but Daiso has the edge in terms of value. Checkout was a pleasure. A young man with the most beautiful manners I've seen in a long time literally took care of me.

Cashier damaged item for soap, left black mark/crack and no exchange made. Cannot remove mark. This photo is after washing it.

08/08/2025 12:06 PM PST: I checked out with an Asian lady cashier (unfortunately I was unable get her name at the time/but I'm aware of who she is) and she dropped my soap box really hard on the counter. It left a black mark on the portion that the soap directly touches on. The cashier ignored this, and continued to complete the transaction as if nothing happened. Unfortunately, I went back to car first to clean it with hand sanitizer. I should've discontinued the transaction immediately upon the damage. The mark didn't disappear, so I went back immediately to request for an exchange or a return. This request was made WITHIN 3-5 minutes of purchasing (feel free to pull up the CCTV footage if needed). I had consulted the same exact cashier, and again, instead of any apology, she started rubbing the mark with her finger. She then proceeded to call the manager, and said "apparently" she dropped it so the customer wants an exchange. I will give her credit for telling the manager that the customer "just bought it", but she did not disclose that the mark was not removable. The manager of this store refused any exchange or refund despite my immediate/prompt request within minutes of purchasing. Per Daiso policy, all sales are final EXCEPT damaged goods (second photo attached). Your own store's cashier not only damaged an item that's supposed to be sanitary for soap, BUT also your own store's manager refused to adhere to a legitimate Daiso policy regarding damaged goods. I'm not expecting much, but BASIC customer service was 0. No exchange, no refund, no apology, no politeness. I was told to just "wash it at home". Cracked plastic will harbor bacteria, and this will be dealt with on my own accord. This Daiso's cashier (on this specific shift) and manager have poor understanding of their own parent company's policy.

We shop here once in a while on a whim / impulse. They sell a lot of thrifty household items and products at a pretty discounted price. Haven't gotten any bad products from this place. When you line up there are also snacks and drinks to buy. Not a bad place to browse around after eating at this plaza.

I love this place! Although most of the items are made in China, I found a good amount of kitchen items made in Japan! Like many of the ceramics bowls, small plates and tea cups are actually made in Japan! They now also have fishing items and camping items available. I'm not sure it's a seasonal thing or not, but it's definitely a plus for those who only has limited budgets. I also see more gardening items in the back of the stores today. Hope to see more new items soon!

But I went in to find a birthday present for a Chinese girlfriend with really good taste in fashion and maybe buy a cute hair clip for myself. A clerk started giggling at me as soon as I walked into the store. Another sales lady walked up to me with a highly disapproving look on her face. "We don't have anything here in your size," she said. I could just tell she was envisioning me ripping the seams out of one of her $180 skirts trying to zip it over my fat ass. I'm well-acquainted giggles and rejection from clothing sales clerks in Thailand, Hong Kong, China, and Japan. But I wasn't expecting it here. Oh well; they lost my business.

Over the years, I've bought hair clips, cell phone charms, skirts, and dresses. The lady was very professional and nice. She is not pushy at all, and lets me have my time browing through the things. When she recommended an item to me, she was not pushy either. Many times I don't buy anything but just tried a few pieces on. She was not angry, like some other Asian store owners do. They have cute Korean style clothes. The price tags are pretty expensive, but they go on sale after a while, like 50% off. I like many styles there, but sometimes just didn't buy them due to the price. Sometimes they have on-sale items hanging outside the store. $29.99 a piece. I've found great bargains there. I bought a summer skirt, a winter skirt, and a full dress! Great deals.

They have a big parking lot in the front. I love all the beauty product option and accessories. They have nice purses and a nice clothing section for men and women. I found some nice Korean skin care products for a reasonable price. They had a glow recipe mini set on clearance. I had to get that because the price was right. Customer service here is exceptional. The employees are really friendly and eager to help you. I had a lovely conversation with an employee in the skin care section. We were discussing the Korean skin care products and she told me about a few she had tried. I really appreciated that. The checkout wasn't too bad today.

As soon as she saw me &started hearing my African accent Instead of listening, she continuously interrupted me, questioned my honesty, and repeatedly said she could not trust what I was saying without reviewing cameras -- despite the fact that I had been returning for days following their instructions. The issue was never resolved, no apology was offered, and I was treated as though I had done something wrong. The lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic respect was unacceptable.

They are located in the Safeway shopping center and share a huge parking lot with other businesses. I was very disappointed with this stores selection of items. It was very disorganized in there. It reminded me of a huge yard sale where items were randomly placed on shelves. The space of the store seemed too big for the shelving and inventory that they had. They did have a small section of Fall and Halloween themed items. But it was not much. The cosmetics area was very small as well and a complete mess. They did have a few glow recipe products in locked up plastic boxes. But the prices were more expensive than TJ Maxx and Marshall's. I did find a package of decorative tissue paper for gift bags and wrapping. There was only one of that variety and it was only $2.99 for 50 sheets. I decided to buy it because I did need some and the price was right. There was only one employee working at the checkout counter. There was a line of customers waiting but the line seemed to move fast. I waited about 5 minutes before I was helped. The young lady helping me was polite and friendly. Sadly, I won't be returning.

The store manager first claimed that all employees will ask if the senior wants the senior discount or not. When the senior person said the employee did not ask her that's why she's back to get her discount. Then the store manager turned around and changed her statement and said No, she as a senior person should remember to ask the cashier to give her the senior discount. It's not the cashier's job to give her the discount. Then the senior person carrying her 3 bags of purchases asked if she could return everything and buy back with the discount. Then the store manager again raised her voice and said with the most annoyed look "No! You can't do that!" And continued to say the purchase's a done deal and she won't get her senior discount. The 2 other younger cashiers, a male Indian cashier on the left and a younger Spanish gal on the right stood there in sort of a disbelief look and then just quietly looked away. The senior lady left I guess angrily but without saying another word while the store manager continued mumbling something. This is just plain stupid! How much is a 10% discount worth? Is this how a store should be run and how a store manager should act and treat its customers???? This store in several occasions had shown terrible customer service as I had also seen this same black store manager chose to greet an ex-employee at the store and spent 10+ minutes chatting and catching up with the person while there was only one cashier and the line has over 6-8 customers waiting and looking at her. A work performance review and feedback from the coworkers and customers would be prudent.

I'd say the Cupertino store feels more like a Miniso version, while the other locations carry what you used to see at the older stores -- way more stationery, pens, and miscellaneous items. That said, the store is still cute! My daughter has picked up a few things here, like a mug and a bag, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Parking isn't an issue either. If you're a hardcore Sanrio fan, temper your expectations -- but it's still a fun stop for cute finds.

They were very kind and helpful when I had a question about a product. The store was nicely laid out and organized. I loved all the cute plushy charms. They had so many to pick from. They also sell t-shirts and cat accessories as well as iPhone cases. I enjoyed looking around and taking in all the cuteness. The only downside to this store are the prices. Everything is extremely expensive. I was looking at some of their ball point pens and they ranged from $10 to $15. Daiso and Miniso both carry Sanrio produce that are way more affordable. I bought a Hello Kitty pen, at Miniso, for $2.99 and it's adorable. I can't justify paying $10 to $15 for a pen at Sanrio. It was fun window shopping here today, and this store is lovely. But, I will stick to Daiso and Miniso for all my Hello Kitty needs.
