This isn't just like any other clothing store, because there are pieces here that she hand makes herself!

If it's a far drive for you, don't worry. You can place orders through their IG DM's and they also just launched their own website! I have about a couple pieces from them and I love it.

This place makes adulting fun! I don't know why I never discovered this before. It's got everything…read moreI've ever wanted to look at all in one place. From knives to pots and pans to kitchen gadgets you didn't think you would need until you see them. They even have makeup, hair products, clothes, and anything you can think of. It was so much fun roaming around this store, and they have a variety of the same item. For example, my goal was to get a butcher knife. They have big ones, small ones, heavy ones, ones with short handles, and ones with longer handles. I spent a long time picking one out to my liking. The inside feels like a big warehouse with everything neatly placed in a way that you can just walk up and down the aisles with ease. There was so much to look at that I felt like I spent close to an hour or more here. Some things were reasonably priced, while others were a little higher. It really depends on what you plan on getting from here. I almost got a wok from there but decided against it because the one on sale was a little bit too heavy for me. If you are in the area and love kitchen things, I would suggest going to Shin Shin to check it out. It was fun for me, and I plan to take my mom there on our next trip to Seattle. However, I might regret that decision later, because my mom would just spend her entire trip there and not want to leave. Haha, I will keep you posted on this. Parking is plentiful. Credit cards are accepted. One thing that caught my attention, though, was that the employees would stare you down after a little while. Instead of having security cameras, they have employees at every corner who would randomly show up next to you to ensure you are "shopping" and not stealing. If you are okay with having a personal bodyguard while you shop, then there would be no issues at all. Have fun!

I had driven past Shin Shin several times in Lakewood, but always headed elsewhere. This time I…read moremade it a point to detour and check it out (4/17/26). It is a fairly large retail site that carried assorted housewares, some alcohol, restaurant gear, small appliances, bedding and linen, Korean hair & skincare products, and clothing. I was rather amused at the gigantic sizes of some bowls, woks, rice cookers, and cooking pots...literally could hold a toddler or two. As other Yelp posts have noted, they do have attentive store personnel that are at the ready should you have any questions. Unless you're a regular shopper, one will definitely be wandering and browsing every aisle since there are no overhead signage. After all that wandering, I did end up paying for a substantial back scratcher for The Homie and a floral print quilted vest for my mom. Both were reasonable and one was even on sale! Chalk it up to, you don't think you'll find anything in particular, but stop in Shin Shin for some momentary retail therapy.

It would be nice if they had like the used game store, or the pet store they used to have... or something that people actually wanted to buy. Typically I just go cuz the food courts really good and my wife likes the hair place. It's a good way to kill an hour you just want to browse and look around.

While they have some nice,…read morediscounted prices compared to a regular Nordstrom's I typically don't find anything that I can live without. I y=usually am more apt to find something to my liking at a regular Nordstrom's but I wouldn't quite count myself as a regular shopper there either. By and large it's more of a preference thing really more than anything else. While I do love acquiring clothes...and from an observer's point of view that may look like I am not picky at all with what I get I actually am more picky than it would look. So that really has nothing to do with quality of product of service really. Just preference. Moving away from preference however is the parking to get to the cluster of stores where this store is at. It's often a tight squeeze and and very congested to navigate through here. Other driver's get mixed up at the Stop signs or simply don't care and one can risk a collision. That's why if I go to this sector of stores I park over in the main mall parking lot and get in and out from the main mall routes rather than navigating through all the pedestrians and cars. So if there is anything that causes actual frustration it's that.

They were also taking pictures of me when I was trying to find help and trying to avoid me? All I wanted was shoes I saw online and couldn't find in store. I picked out something else in store only for the product on the tag to say something different than the actual shoe itself. I asked the cashiers if I can buy the shoe from online and ship to the store since I'm about to move to across country and want to have my mail sorted out through usps first so it doesn't get lost in the system. She said they could only deliver it to a house instead of in store. I looked online later because I've always done it at Abercrombie, American eagle, and Tillys where I can order in store and have it mailed to the store for secure pick up. So not only did she lie, she was also trying to take pictures of me and laugh behind my back? Crazy. I went in the next day to return the shoes that said one size but were actually another (my luck of course) and the other person was actually super nice surprisingly. Sad that one rotten apple ruined the whole bunch.

We were able to take care of our situation. It was done all in one day. Sometimes parents have to travel all over but not us. The clerks were friendly and helpful. The store was neat and organized. And they had items on sale too. It took me no time to get my items. It was actually stress free when I shopped there. And I saved money. Customer service was an A+ letter grade if I was a teacher. The clerks made us feel welcome That raises the letter grade more higher. And they put coupons in our bags too. I love saving money! The overall shopping experience was great for me. I would return here again if I need something for my son.

I had her make me two pencil skirts that were custom made to be good for biking to work. While much of her shop has African print dresses (and they are beautiful!) she will make anything - prom, homecoming, quinceanara dresses and custom jackets and suits and dress shirts, too. Pricing depends on difficulty and time spent as well as materials involved, so it's not cheap - but it is very fair pricing for the quality. She will also do tailoring if you have existing pieces you need improved. Half the shop are sample dresses (she also sells sandals and costume jewelry - necklaces cost less than $10) and the other half is her workshop. She is open Tuesday - Saturday, so call ahead or just show up and prepare for a warm welcome!
