Good gadgets and home goods with incredible prices, many items are made in Japan, and they validate parking with a purchase

I bought Jaga Choco Chips from Daiso and the entire bottom of the container had white mold and the chips were stuck to the mold at the bottom. I didn't realize until I reached the bottom. I called the store and they told me I had to come at a later time for a refund. I asked if I could just send a photo of the receipt and picture of the food I didn't want to be carrying moldy food and a receipt I had to fish out of the trash and do a round trip for a $2.75 refund. They said that's all they could offer. I had to take the day off because I felt unwell after eating the moldy food but that wasn't even a concern of theirs. I am so disgusted by this entire experience. Avoid their food products. read more

Daiso - BEWARE! White mold lined the entire bottom of the cup. The chips were stuck to the mold - Discount Store Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you're in the area and in need of cute affordable anything this is the place to go! Staff is so helpful with finding what you're looking for and they have a good selection of things to choose from. Love it here! read more

Average. Decent sized compared to the other Daiso locations I've been to, but this one looked very low stocked. There were barely any items on the shelves, but I guess that's good if you don't like it when stores are too cluttered. They also seemed to have all of the usual items that you'd find at the other locations as well as the same prices. Our cashier was really friendly and nice as he checked out our items. Not bad! read more

Daiso - Exterior - Discount Store Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Daiso is a magical store with everything and more. There are so many useful items, homegoods, cooking wear, plates, cups, gardening material, and many unique life hack items, and art supplies, stationary items, gift items, and snacks! They sell everything for very low prices. Think of Daiso as like the Dollar Store, but on crack and with actually all good quality and long lasting/dependable items, with an Asian flare. Their goods are from Japan. read more

I like that they have a variety of items, including books, gadgets, and clothing, which caters to different interests and needs. The service was amazing and the things were affordable read more

OK I posted a review for the wrong Daiso. As far as this Daiso goes it's actually similar in that it's a good sized of one of the Daiso stores but as of my last visit, their stock isn't as great as some of the other locations. My favorite locations - aside from the store in Little Tokyo which is just insane - are the stores down in the Gardena/Torrance area. This Daiso on Western is also in a highly congested part of Los Angeles so getting to it is a challenge. Once you do get there they do have parking, which is nice. But as a chain Daiso always has a fun selection of products: housewares, Asian snacks, office supplies, etc and at GREAT prices (most things are around $1.75 US and then some "expensive" items might be like $5 or $10). However I do notice - since my focus is usually on beauty supplies because I'm a makeup artist - that selection really varies by store. read more

Ktown Daiso is in a small Plaza with an underground parking lot which they also have validation for. I had some time to kill in Ktown so I decided to just spend some time in Daiso and got a few cute things that I didn't think I would need but I did buy it for future use. I bought a travel-size liquid container spritzer. Some hair accessories and also a small container for some small items that you might have. People here are friendly but the store is quite small so you might not find everything you are looking for compared to other locations. read more

I love daiso do much, I go with my friends all the time. I love the low prices and friendly staff. I just wish that there were more of a variety of stuff. read more

Great inventory. I always look for Tony (gray hair) as he knows what I'd like , that is new to the shelves . It's easy to find fun things to buy. read more

This place is really cute and there are a lot of good finds that will surprise you. They sell a wide selection of items from kitchenwares, plates, bowl, utensils, and the like to make up, cleaning implements, snacks (chips, chocolates, and candies). The items are reasonably priced. If the item has no price tag then it is priced at a $1.75, there are also price charts posted for each and every aisle to determine the pricing of items. The only con when we shopped today was there was no available bag for the items that we purchased. Good thing, we had an extra bag to place the items we bought. read more

First time going to Daiso, and I was not disappointed. The store was very clean and spacious, I also loved the layout! Huge selection of items; household tools, snacks, decor, etc. The cashier was very friendly, I wish I would have gotten his name. I got a good selection of 5-7 items ranging from a portable bed table to cat toys, it costed around $20-$30; not too bad. Most likely would have costed more at an Target or Walmart. read more

Located in the MaDang shopping center, this location of the very popular 'thousand-yen' retail store selling Japanese products, is a great place to pick up daily essentials (along with other things that you didn't know you needed....). It's very similar to the dollar stores that are all around us, except for more Asian related products (which is why Daiso can be found in areas of higher East Asian populations like Little Tokyo, Sawtelle, and K-Town). read more

All the Daiso store have bad services ,no return accept, no bet cards accepted and no bathroom for customers. on top of that at the register they are trying cheating US tax asking you whether you wanna receipt or not. I always say I wanna receipt. read more

3 stars One of the smaller Daisos I have been to. Many of the similar pots, pans, glassware, and other home goods are available here. This location is probably my least favorite Daiso because they have a limited selection of kitchen and office essentials. Quantity is good, variety isn't. The only good thing that came from my visit here was finding the perfect sized pipe cleaner for some of my thinner-than-usual-reuseable straws. Unless you're in the area and want to make a pit stop, this Daiso isn't worth driving out of your way for. read more

The good: Daiso is like a Japanese version of Family Dollar. They have locations all over the world and they sell really neat and cheap home gadgets. I love coming here to get office or kitchen supplies. I got a kitchen sink bucket and a small trashcan for a total of $5-6. Things you can buy here include snacks, drinks, makeup, trashcans, post-its, pens, notepads, gift bags, Christmas decoration, face masks, erasers in very fun shapes, phone accessories, and more. They're located on the 1st floor of a Korean mini-mall with multiple floors. My 12 year old niece enjoys this store so much that she aspires to work here as her 1st job. The bad: The layout of the register makes it so folks standing in line to pay block the aisle for other shoppers who want to look at that aisle. Looking for the price takes some effort. The prices are listed in yen and there's a conversion chart posted between some of the shelves that help you translate it into American dollars. The interesting: They sold a mystery bag of items for Black Friday. read more

I love Daiso! Even though most of the items are $1.50, a lot of the merchandise is actually good quality. They were selling disposable face masks located at the cashier. They had shelves and shelves of hand sanitizer at a reasonable price. This location takes safety precautions seriously. All of the employees were wearing face coverings. There might be a line to get in the store because they have minimized the store occupancy. The parking garage entrance is on Manhattan. Prior to the pandemic, parking was a hit or miss. Now, parking is easy to find as there arent a lot of shoppers out and about now. read more

Everything is written in Japanese with pricing in Yen and cross coded into US currency. Sucks.

Chill little spot with lots of cool cheap little trinkets the snacks are not lacking just needs a few more isles ... aside from that it's dope. read more

I'm a candy addict. Specifically gummy and sour candies. When I saw the candy display at Daiso, I went to town. Bought a bunch of different kinds on Tuesday, November 20th around 3pm. *WarHeads: Sour Dippin' Puckers Packs, Sour Twists, Sour Chewy Cubes ($1.50 ea) *Trolli: Sour Brite Blasts, Sour Brite Octopus, Watermelon Sharks ($1.50 ea) *Hi-Chew: Sour Citrus, Yogurt Mix ($1.75 ea); Caramel Apple ($1.50) I had bought a pack of Hi-Chews at the Korean grocery store in this plaza. Wish I had waited as I would have saved almost a dollar per pack. So if you want candy, go to Daiso instead. It's cheaper. They had a pretty good assortment I've never had before. My inner fattie wanted to buy everything, but I showed some self restraint. There's only so much candy I should keep around. I adore Daiso in general. And this location is a pretty good size. read more

Who doesn't love Daiso?? The entire store is $1.50 per item (unless otherwise noted) and there is a huge variety of snack and home items for people of all ages. I love coming to Daiso for stocking stuffers, goody bag items, small home items (like bowls/cups/utensils), beauty goods and of course... the crafts! For under $10, you can buy a bunch of crafts to keep your little one busy all day (slime, coloring paper, crayons, stickers, playdoh, etc). The Daiso in Madang Plaza validates parking so it's super easy to pop in and out if you need to stock up on gifts or small home items! read more

They have a great selection of everything you need for your house hold and more! You can go in with 5-20$ and feel like royalty haha!! They always have tons of gadgets and fun things to make your home more cute read more

Daiso is like an Asian Dollar Tree store or like a Japanese 99 Cents Only store... Location: Madang Courtyard, Ground Level Benefits: Two hours of parking in Koreatown with purchase! Get cute items from Japan - most things are $1.50 unless otherwise marked. Compared with other locations, this one appears to have less variety - possibly because it's a really popular shop and many customers get items that I want before I get there? The store is in a convenient place? Other people want two hours of parking in Koreatown, too? The aisles seem narrower... maybe because it's a smaller space? I'm not sure why...maybe a combination of all of the above reasons...or...maybe because Daiso is such a fun and inexpensive store!? Note: bring your own packages, buy some shopping totes there, or pay 10 cents for plastic disposable bags...this is Los Angeles! read more

Pro's: social distancing in full force. 20 people waiting to go into Daiso 30-min before it closes. Con's: Same as above. There's no "quick trip to Daiso to pick up 2-3 things" now. Bring a backpack with water & snacks, because it's taking me longer to walk INTO the the store than it took to walk TO the store read more

About a 2-2.5: Daiso Japan is like the Japanese version of a Dollar Store, however, most of their items are under a $1.50. This particular location is located in the Madang Courtyard, on the main level. Compared to the Daiso in Little Tokyo, this store was super disorganized and not well-stocked. It had the usual items, such as snacks, kitchen, home decor, beauty products, accessories, toys, stationery, and little gifts. I really liked the little Santa hat hair clips and the French bulldog journal. Garage parking or limited metered parking in the area. +items all less than $1.50, unless marked +located in the Madang Courtyard, main level read more

I just discovered Daiso Japan while I was in Koreatown for a Yelp event. I love the mall that Daiso Japan is located in, very cute. The store advertises as a Dollar store, but prices start at $1,50 and go up to $4. Not bad, considering the decent quality of many items they sell: X-mas decorations, cosmetics, office supplies, kitchen items, slippers, house decor, all sorts of cute things that you might need or they'll be an impulse buy 'cause it's cheap. And they're cute. And fun. And different. Of course I couldn't help myself and got a few items (like a kitchen timer in a shape of a strawberry) that'll make cool stocking stuffers! Decent customer service, fun store, you can browse it for a while. And I bet you won't come out empty-handed! read more

Daiso - You know you need it! Or gift idea? - Discount Store Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This Daiso is located on the ground floor beneath Sul & Bean. We had 15 minutes before our meter would run out (yes, I didn't realize that they offered validated parking in the garage here... actually, I didn't know that they had a garage here), so we were doing sort of a hit and run shopping trip. We each managed to find something we wanted. We paid, and we left. We brought bags with us this time, so no need to pay for one of their baggies. $1.50 for everything unless otherwise marked. read more

The cutest little store you can think of. The best way to describe it is to say it's like a 99 cents store but everything here costs $1.50 unless marked otherwise and the thinks come in cute pastel colors like pink, purple and light colors. I personally love coming here for the cute notebooks and tons of stationary supplies. This store is conveniently located in a plaza so they have a parking structure. Just make sure you get your ticket validated. read more

I moved to Koreatown last month and Daiso was key in helping me get small home goods like a laundry basket and a shower curtain at a very affordable price. However, this particular store is very small in comparison to other locations and it is also very messy.. My main complaint is that they also do not carry a lot of items that other Daiso stores carry but again, I do think that it may have to do with the store being very small. Service was quick and cashier was friendly, but they are also very understaffed. Make sure to get parking validated! read more

Thank you Brenda! I called in for some chairs and she immediately found some and left it at the front for us. She wasn't there when I got there but she was extremely helpful and kind over the phone. read more

The Japanese $1.50 store. Their small comparison to the same in Japan. But I'm glad their here. They should open one in Victorville

I love Daiso! There's nothing wrong with this Daiso other than its size. I give it only three stars because it's so much smaller than the other Daiso store's I've patronized. They do a great job with the small space they have, but it's less than half the size of the other stores...and that's being generous. If you're in the area, then it's OK, but definitely choose another location if you want a better selection of their great bargain products. read more

Clean and lots of variation! Love how friendly the cashiers were! They also had security there which made me feel a little safer!

Can't bet paying $1.50 for everything. Love this store! You can find lots of different stuff. Sometimes even cheaper than other places like other Japanese stores or even Chinese stores. Stuff from food to travel stuff. You do have to pay for parking. This Daiso is in a shopping center. read more

It's a Terrible store!! I never go here again! I bought a damaged oil bottle. the next day, I want to change a new one. The cashier said no return or exchange. And it's a Japan store, so it follows japanese rules. But it is a broken one. The other customer said because it's so cheap, it has no return or exchange. Why? The cheap is more important than quality. Ok, I understand. Lol~~horrible customer service~ read more

I have a love hate relationship with this store. Yes, almost everything is 1.50 and it makes me compulsively buy so much stuff that I don't need!! Maybe it's my self control I need to work on but after I look at what I bought, it amazes me. But this is the good. Now to the bad... I bought a toy for my pups here once and was shocked when I got home. There was a cardboard tab wrapped around a circular rope portion of the toy and when I took it off, I saw packing tape holding the 2 circular ends together!! I was not very happy about this. I know Daiso is cheap but come on... Yes.. I go here to buy cotton puffs, gift wrap, and cards but anything else, make sure you thoroughly check what you are purchasing beforehand. read more

Not quite dollar tree but they have a really good assortment of things selling for $1.50 with a few other things a little more but I don't think I saw anything more than $8. They have laundry items, kitchen tools, socks, Asian snacks, dishes, office supplies, makeup supplied and so much more. It was fun to look around and see what they had, although I ultimately left without getting anything. It's definitely cleaner than most other discount stores I've been to, and it was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon. Lines can get a little long. Don't forget to validate your parking for the lot too! read more
