    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

I don't care how friendly you are, that's just effin annoying. yes, I have worked retail and understand. I am sorry. I just lost a pet and then went to the dentist for an intense cleaning I wasn't ready to go home to an empty house so.. I went to peruuuz the clearance section. Sometimes things make it into the clearance section that aren't actually on clearance so you have to be kind of careful. With my absolutely stuffed cart seriously... full of stuff, I pulled up to the checkout line. I waited an incredibly long amount of time because the checker was being absolutely delightful to someone who required a lot of assistance. The person in front of me commented to this checker how they have the patience of a God. I was about to say the same thing. I mean, she didn't even look put out. She was still just as friendly and just as helpful with the person in front of me. When I finally pulled up, I explained to her that I needed to be quite careful with what I purchased because I am broke let me tell you she was just incredible. She told me the original price and then discounted price, then explained how much of a percentage it was off Each item on clearance! THEY WERE FAST. She totally understood that I just couldn't buy things unless they were under a certain amount. I felt like I had a teammate --instead of someone making me feel ashamed or embarrassed, or that I was taking up too much of their time. She was fast, polite, super helpful, and incredibly understanding. Andrea, if you read this, you were the friendly person that I needed today and I appreciate you.

Then, when I brought it back, the person handling the return gave me a skeptical attitude as if I was returning it after use rather than because it was defective. The issue was clear: air was flowing out of the wrong pipe, making the tank unusable. This was a product defect, not buyer's remorse or misuse. The whole reason I purchased online was to save time and avoid inconvenience, but instead it created more hassle and wasted time. This was a very disappointing experience, and I expected better customer service and a smoother resolution from Target. Target can do better.

I had walked over to the Sunnyvale Public Library with my son and stopped for a moment to wipe my brow when out of nowhere, one of the nose pads on my glasses completely broke off. These were an older pair of glasses I had recently rediscovered while cleaning, so I figured the parts had simply become worn down over time. At first, I thought I'd just grab a repair kit from Target after ChatGPT recommended their Up & Up eyeglass repair kit instead of going all the way to Walgreens. Unfortunately, the only kit I found didn't include the nose pad I needed. As I kept walking through the store hoping they might be stocked elsewhere, I stumbled upon the Target Optical department, complete with an eye doctor and full service optical counter. That's where I met Irish. Irish was absolutely wonderful. She patiently and diligently worked on my glasses, replaced BOTH nose pads, cleaned them thoroughly, tightened and tuned everything up, and honestly made this old pair feel practically brand new again. You know how over time those little parts get dirty, brittle, degraded, and loose? She took the time to carefully restore them instead of rushing me through. What really stood out was her attitude and customer service. She was warm, professional, patient, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire interaction. Irish gave us her full attention and made us feel completely taken care of. Excellent service experiences deserve recognition, and Irish absolutely earned this review.

I haven't seen designer shoes at this location for years now. It's unfortunate because that was one of my favorite aspects of shopping here. Now the only "designer" items, if you can call it that, they carry, are Kate Spade and Dooney and Bourke bags (which are hilariously kept locked in a glass case). I've seen the random higher end like Tiffany's keychain and Valentino sunglasses. But you're hard pressed to find any high-end designer items at this location. They do have a fabulous home section, though. Pillows and towels and decorative knickknacks at this location. And they actually do carry some great decorative furniture pieces too. I get some great deals on clothing for my six-year-old daughter. If she needs new clothes, this is my first stop before Target. I would say for the most part, the store is kept as organized as it can be considering how much product they have to put out in the space they have. The fitting rooms could be cleaner. There's always balls of dust on the floors in the fitting rooms. They could stand to run a vacuum through there every morning. I have always found the staff to be pleasant. The only annoying thing is when you are checking out they consistently ask if you want to get the Marshalls/TJ Maxx credit card. And they think they are enticing you with 10% off your purchase if you join. But if you actually do your homework, you'll see that the interest on their company's credit card is outrageous - making that 10% off irrelevant. Don't fall for it unless you plan on paying off your purchase immediately. Otherwise getting their credit card is kind of a trap.
