This Daiso is so cute! Every time I am in an area that has a Daiso, I have to go. This one also has a self check-out area, so it's nice if there's a rush of people. Daiso has a lot of items that are super cute, such as plushies, stationary, makeup, pet toys, household items, and more. They also have an awesome snack station and a good amount of electronics accessories, so there's usually something suitable for everyone that they might find interesting/ useful. I have a lot of the kitchen items such as their dishes, stovetop liners, and chopsticks, but I also enjoy their home accessories such as their house slippers, plushies, and stationary. The snack area always has a lot of fun options to munch on during my trip back home! They also have excellent car accessories, so I have even purchased car cushions from here (they're pandas!). Overall, the items are usually in the $1-3 range, but some items may go up to about $10 based on what it is! read more

Daiso - Department Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

Where you can buy all the stuff you don't need but desperately think you want. I only allow myself to come here a few times a year (if that). It's Japan's version of $1 store except in the US, it's $1.75 and up. The quality to me is better than the regular dollar tree or 99 cents stores. The store is very clean and organized. There are some basic items that they carry all year and then specialty things that come and go. Some of the sections: gardening, toys, makeup and hair, electronics, storage, kitchenware, pets, snacks, camping, etc. You can grab some necessities as well as whimsical things. The staff are very friendly. Def one of my fave spots. read more

So if you wanna look like Barbi, try Lipo.. If you're with Big Sean, then you're Jhené Aiko.. If you're Norman Bates, then you may be a Psycho.. But if you want some cheap Asian treats, try Daiso. This Daiso is literally right next to the gym we come to all the time, so when picking Barbi up from her workouts, I'll often find her in here instead. Bad girl. They do tend to close the store a little early (at times), and I could easily give 3 or 4 stars for this fact, but Barbi's found such great stuff in here, and it brings her so much joy, that I can't bring myself to lower the 5 star rating. A truly magical store with a bunch of truly magical, mostly-imported goods contained within. It's basically a Japanese dollar store, although there's plenty of stuff that isn't a dollar. They do a great job and have a lot of discount goods that really delight Barbi and that's why I like bringing her here. I think the Westchase and Katy locations are both fantastic. But what am I doing... I need to finish with a lot more rap. When it comes to food tours, I'm the MAESTRO Scarier than Norman Bates in PSYCHO Scarier than the way Pittsburgh folks say GY-RO But if you want an Asian Dollar Store, try DAISO If I use a pen, it's always a BIRO If I drink a Toffee Bubble Tea, it's HOKKAIDO If I climb in Africa, it's KILIMANJARO But if I'm in Katy, I shop at DAISO If I want dancing girls, it's Rio De JANEIRO If I wave a White Flag, call me DIDO If I was better in the 70s, I'm Robert De NIRO But if you can't pronounce "De Niro" you might shop at DAISO Better than a raging fire to a PYRO Better than my missile feels in Barbie's SILO Better than Barbie looks with her new LIPO For cheap Japanese stuff, come and try DAISO! WHAT! read more

Shopping in Houston, Texas... Daiso is the dollar store in Japan. I first learned about Daiso from my friends in Los Angeles. I was so happy when Oahu got two Daiso stores - one in Pearl City and one in Honolulu! When I saw that Houston had a few Daiso stores, I chose to go to this one on Westheimer Road because it was the closest. I liked the free parking, air conditioning, spacious environment, and tidy aisles! The first thing I saw was Hello Kitty items! Then, I saw practical things like kitchen gadgets, office supplies, snacks, etc. I enjoyed looking at all things Japanese - even though some things were not $1.50. Those items were marked with a sticker and the higher price. I hope you have a Daiso in your city! If not, look for one when you are on vacation! read more

I absolutely loved this store! There are so many useful household items and cute items. They are higher quality things, but at an affordable price. I can't wait to go back! I definitely will start shopping here more than the dollar stores read more

A cute place if you are looking for Japanese Knick knacks, journaling/scrapbooking bc supplies. They have a little bit of everything and it's all so cheap. I would compare this store to a dollar store. read more

Japanese Dollar Store I like it, no love it here.. :3 guilty. never been to the Katy location only to the one near/behind the Alief HCC ~ They have cute stuff and cute seasonal stuff. Also saw a lil' increase in the crafty aisle semi-recently. But yeah. Think like suburbs dollar store but 5 times better. If you're in the area would highly recommend checking the place out Edit: also I read another commented that mentioned it, is sorta important. Don't forget 'is still a dollar store (though prices can be higher than a dollar range ofc) and yeah no refunds so be certain when you purchase read more

(Edit: the previous review was meant to be for Katy Daiso) I went to this Daiso first and then Katy. I really love how well stocked they were and everything was just $1.50! Super clean and the staff were fast! read more

If you have never been here before and like dollar stores then you need to go check out Daiso. Daiso is the cleanest "dollar" store around. Not everything there is a $1.50. Prices are up to $11.00 (I have never seen anything over $6) They have some really cool stuff from Japan. They have seasonal stuff, stationary, crafts supplies, makeup, containers, gardening, dishes, candy, drinks, food, socks, household items and so much more. They have a no return, no exchange policy. And they mean it too! read more

Daiso - Price chart - Department Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

General Info: Daiso is the equivalent of a Japanese Dollar store. There are many locations worldwide, and just two in Houston. This one is closest to central Houston and is across the street from Whole Foods and that small Japanese grocery store (Daido). There a number of different types of products including beauty products, kitchen goods, snacks, cleaning products, plant care, gift wrapping etc. There are multiple helpful signs in every aisle reminding you of the pricing scheme. Most products are $1.50 unless otherwise labeled. If a price is labeled use the sign to convert the Japanese yen pricing labeled to dollars. Better than any American dollar store in terms of quality of products, cleanliness, and ingenuity of products. Parking: Plentiful. Part of a shopping strip. read more

The first time I went to daiso was near my aunts house in Santa Ana, CA. I loved how it was sort of like a dollar store, but everything was Japanese! So once i found out that there was one in Houston, I decided to go and check it out! I went to visit the Daiso off Westheimer. The store was big and had a variety of products ranging from tools to kitchen ware. This store would also be a perfect place to get small gifts. Definitely try to visit this japanese dollar store if you are ever in Houston! FYI: -There are no public restrooms inside the store -Everything is $1.50 unless otherwise noted -Bring a reusable bag for your purchases read more

LOVE THE LOCATION! It's in the same center as Whole Foods on Westheimer + Wilcrest. The first Houston location is in Katy off Mason Road, too far from home for me to frequent. This is every crafter's and office supplies junkie's dream store as most items are $1.50! Household items and dishes are also pretty popular at the same affordable price. Note: Some items are above $1.50 unlike the Cali locations I visited before. Still, those items are still cheaper than buying at target or home goods. read more

Love Daiso! Made a visit early Feb 2023. A cute and extremely affordable shop of Japanese goods. They have everything from home goods to stationery items. I was pleasantly surprised with the different products they carry which included some Disney branding. I'm excited to come back to check out their mini cards! read more

I am a great lover of Asian knick knacks. I go to a lot of similar stores around China Town and was greatly disappointed to see that FIT store close. When they opened the Daiso in Katy, I didn't like the distance. Luckily, they just had their soft opening at this location. There's so much stuff in so little space! I personally spent about $70... This place is an elementary teacher's playground... I bought so many sensory and motor items. I am already cataloguing what to buy as small Christmas gifts @_@... I think the only thing I didn't really like was how the door was wide open...so even though they had a/c...it kind of felt gross. Everything is final sale. Most are $1.50. A few of the things were a bit overpriced, but most things were very reasonable. I can definitely see myself dropping another $100+ come holidays... read more

What can I say - I'm a sucker for Daiso! I have been to this location several times now. The staff are always friendly, and I have never left empty handed. They have everything I love - Japanese pens, tiny stationary, cute stickers, and ceramics. They have lots of fun home goods, kitchen supplies, and snacks.The best part is everything is pretty inexpensive. I just went shopping there yesterday, and the most expensive item on my recipe was $3.50. Everything else was priced at $1.75. Great little store for unique gifts - for others and for you. I'll be back for stocking stuffers! read more

It was my first time here and the stuff was cute! Everything is $1.75 unless specified on the package. The conversion charts are also posted around the store. We got a variety of different things, but it's fun just to walk around the store to see what they have. read more

This place was fun to visit. I enjoyed the different kinds of things they had. Quirky fun stuff this is a fun store. Refreshing.

The location is convenient, but I wasn't impressed. As soon as I walk in the store I notice a foul smell like musty arm pits. The employees didn't look too happy at the cash wrap & the check out process was very slow. The store has a wide selection of nicknacks, but I'll just stick to amazon. The prices were reasonable. The treats are tasty, but I guess I was expecting the store to be way different. I'm looking for those happy welcoming employees as soon as you walk through the door. I wouldn't visit again, but it was a decent trip. read more

I love Daiso in Asia and I am glad Houston finally has one. If you love Michael's, you will love this place. Its Michael's but added the Asian cuteness vibe in it. The products also have that vibe as well. Everything is so affordable and adorable. Just be aware you might go in thinking you would get one or two things but ends up with like 20 things. I ended up with 3 cushions (photo attached) read more

Daiso - Super Cute Store selling Super Cute Stuff - Department Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is the most well stocked Daiso I have ever been to. The shelves were full unlike most Daiso's I have been to in Cali. Maybe Daiso is more popular in California but I am glad I had a moment to stop by in Texas. It's not a large location but fully stocked. I managed to grab more items, things I obviously don't need but want. I also got all my fav Daiso snacks. read more

I saw this place all over TikTok and I'm a big Sanrio fan so I had to go. I wish I had went into it without any expectations. There was maybe 3-4 Sanrio things and then some cute Rilakkuma/Sumikk Gurashi/similar pens, washi tape, journals, magnets, calendars, and stuff like that. But otherwise it was a Japanese dollar store, but in a good way! I was able to pick up a bunch of cute little things but it was not like how it seemed on TikTok with a ton of Sanrio things. read more

Daiso - Department Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

Daiso offers a wide category of cheap quality "Japanese" goods that are mostly made from China. To me, it's the equivalent of a Japanese dollar general. Before you go, it's helpful to know that only a very few selected items are actually made from Japan. Other than the product's origin, it's still fun to see some of the items that aren't so common among other Asian stores such as tiny Tamagoyaki frying pans, bento box accessories, chair socks, and imported candies. Most of the selection is underwhelming if you go in with high expectations so you just have to have the right mindset beforehand. For more Japanese stores, check out Nippan Daido, Seiwa, and Japan House. The first two are grocery stores, but they would sell other interesting items too such as Japanese clay pots and other cookware. Overall, Daiso is another alternative to Fit Store (in Bellaire). I think what Houston really needs is a store that focuses more on Japanese made goods and pens and pencils (emphasis on not made from China). TIP: Check quality before you buy. There is a no refund/return policy. read more

I love Daiso, but unfortunately I think this is the last time I'll be going here. Staff was incredibly rude and condescending-- was literally just looking at item and an employee raised his voice at me in front of the other customers saying I wasn't far enough away from the person at the register (mind you, I'm standing 6ft away. I'm pregnant and have 0 intentions of trying to get close to people during covid.) I scooted back another few feet and again, this RUDE employee raises his voice and says I'm still not far away enough (at this point I'm like 8ft+ away.) Aside from that-- it's a shame but the store isn't as stocked as it usually is. Not sure if it's shortages but it's disappointing either way. Clean store at least. Good food selection. But bad customer service. read more

I LOVE DAISO!! probably the best dollar store i've been too, they have great food selection, cute sanrio things, GREAT selection of stationary too!! i honestly dont even know which store location im talking about but honestly all of them are the same with great stuff and service. i recommend their orange soda (you should find it by the cash register or where the food/snack is by !!). its super good. i love daiso so much and i always come at least 3 times a month or more if i feel like it, lol!! read more

I am one who love stores like 5 Below, 99 Store and etc. Daiso majority of the items are $1.50, there are a few that are more but nothing of $10. What I love about this store is a lot of Asian stuff which I love! Let me warn you grab a basket because you will see a lot of things you want; Snacks, drinks, household and other great thing. You want to go down each aisle to see everything they have. The cashier did tell me each week the restock with new things, that's a great was to keep the customers coming. The location is over in the Wilcrest and Westheimer are where there are a lot of little strip malls there. If you're ever in the area be sure to check it out they have a lot of great stuff over there. read more

Such a fun place to shop ! Many unique items ! Cool coffee cups, lots of storage items, great shoes including fun house shoes. Wasn't expecting it to be so large ! I was just killing a little time but am going back tonight when I have time to really look around ! Highly recommend ! read more

While I'm waiting for my doctor appointment close by here, I was shopping here. Great price with great product. So beautiful design from Japan. Highly recommend it. read more

It's a cute Japan $1.50 & up store. I did not see anything over $4.00. The Westchase location is a lot closer to me than the Katy/Mason location. I believe this used to be the old WholeFood Market store which now moved across the street by Target. This store is like the .99 store. One stop shop. Fairly cheap & unique stuff to buy. You can find some of the snacks & drinks at other Asian grocery store in Houston. They sell stationary, cooking utensils, make up, hair accessories, cool gadgets, disable raincoats, toiletries, containers, & other stuff you may not find anywhere else. They do not sell Sanrio or Japanese Animation collections. Definitely will come back here. read more

I was so excited to see Daiso finally opening stores in the Houston area! I've come to find out about Daiso on my trips to California. This store in particular is of decent size. It took me some time to check out everything in the store! Beware that not everything in the store is made in Japan! It might say something like Made FOR Daiso Japan, but is in fact made in China. My favorite findings include coffee flavored candy, sweet treats, and matcha & ginger tea drinks. The checkout experience was a bit slow. Plus, the cashier did not know to put cold drinks and food in a bag separate from household items that could get wet or crushed. read more

Lots of cute stuff to choose from. Great prices and easy layout of store! I always find things here!

I love love love love this place. Its AMAZEBALLS! I learnt about here when I started working in the area back in 2018, then I left t hat job and now I am back working in that area. I go there during my lunch breaks just to see what treasures I can find. My last trip, I found they have grocery shopping baskets for $5, which I love, especially since I can use it for actual grocery shopping when I dont want to touch those nasty ones at the supermarket. They have better quality stuff than the other dollar type stores, and also have Japanese pots. read more

Definitely my go-to place whenever I feel like I need to buy something that I want but not sure if I need. Haha Everything is so cheap here but still has high quality. Daiso has everything you need with the price you can afford! However, the cashier works so slow, and with the small amount of stuffs, we had to wait for a long time read more

I love their kitchen area, all the bento items are my favorite, i did however notice that some of them are cheaper on places like amazon, so it would be a smart tip to know the value of what you are buying. Compare to other daiso i feel the assortment of cute/kawaii stationary is not as big but you can definitely get items with characters like rilakkuma, i hope to see more stationary in the future read more

I love everything about this place! The products and prices are totally unbeatable! Also the ramen section smacks!

Love..love...love...cutest little store....I can come here for absolutely no reason....just because!!!...

Lots of stuff to look at. Fun little spot to pick up cheap items. Quality of items seem pretty good too. Lots of cute stationary and kitchen items. They have yummy Asian snacks and drinks too. read more

Daiso - Daiso Snacks - Department Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was noticing that after checking out my choices I looked at my receipt and noticed I was overpriced. I spoke to the manager and said that they can't do anything about it even though they knew it was their fault. The manager just apologized but did not care to pay us the difference. Daiso will steal your money and they don't have to give you the difference back. Never will I shop there again. read more
