While I was waiting for my food order from Yum Long at Atlantic Times Square in Monterey Park, I visited Daiso within the same square. It's not a very big store like some of the other Daisos I've been to. Clean and organized interior. Aisles are slightly narrow. Shelves were well stocked. Most merchandises and knick knacks are pretty standard. Although I did noticed a couple cool finds. Bought a tea strainer and sushi box (to be used for tray of togetherness at future Lunar New Year events). Staff was friendly and helpful. Prices were average. Strange, I didn't see self check-out. Nevertheless, sometimes it's nice to receive good service from an actual person. I shall be back for future good finds. Btw, free parking at the square.

A Japanese take on a store chain that offers a variety of items snd novelties with brand names like Sanrio and Disney. Different kinds of kitchen goods too as well as various unique merchandise! Got a small panda flower ceramic pot and soooo cute!

Havent been to daiso in soo long and everything is not 1.50 anymore. Its 2.25 if its not marked but thats still cheap. They have a bunch of random stuff. Some of the shelf items were a but dusty but i didnt expect that theyd clean it. Came to see if they were giving out the dodgers bag but they ran out. Guess it wasnt until 6/30.

Closest Daiso to Asayoru Maid Cafe! If I have to get extra storage for my cheki or bromides or if I need an accessory to wear to the cafe for an event, this is the perfect spot to stop by right before. They usually also participate in the Milkyway Marketplace events that occur at Atlantic Times Square. Stock is pretty decent and I've never really seen things out of stock. I've mostly seen them restock random things there or have huge boxed shipments in random spots of the store. Staff probably getting ready to add more things in. Sad day that Daiso is like $2.25 for items now, but le sigh, tis the society we live in. Sometimes things in certain aisles, like the storage, oshikatsu, stationery aisle are shoved everywhere and not as organized, but if they don't have a lot of staff, I can see why this wouldn't be a priority. They have self check out. Sometimes I've been here where the AC is barely on or not all of the lights are on, which is pretty funny, but not overly detrimental.

We were strolling through Atlantic Times Square Plaza, minding our own business, when all of a sudden a Daiso appears like a bright treasure cave. Hubby insisted we check it out. Within minutes, we're knee-deep in plushies, cute pens, and enough trinkets to fill a dragon's hoard... on a budget. They're already rolling out the Christmas merch!! Grabbed some of those too!! Daiso is basically the cooler, classier cousin of the dollar store... the one w better taste but still loves a good bargain.

Daiso has definitely changed!! Not sure how others perceive the changes but coming to this daiso after a while I see there was improvements but also inflation of prices. The prices in all daiso increased and they will let you know exactly what items are priced and starting at $2.25 with some "clearance" items at lower price, I am not sure if I want to buy a lot anymore! The self checkout is what changed, no more cash! We tried to pay but only card is accepted here and there wasn't a staff near the check out if we wanted to pay cash. There was a line so we just paid by card to not hold it up and wait for staff. I love their seasonal section and usually they display new or seasonal things for sale near the front.

One of the largest Daisos I've ever seen. You want pens? There's a billion to chose from. You want decorations? There's a trillion to chose from. You want household items? Sure, they got that too. Parking is free (hallelujah). The employees are really nice. And the mall that this Daiso is in is a really nice, cute local mall in MP that does a lot with the little bit of space that it occupies. If you're in town, definitely check out this Daiso. I dare you to go in and not come out with something.

This Daiso store is located in a busy plaza in Monterey park, conveniently located next to free way. There's an underground paneling structure, shaded with the movie theater and other restaurants. It's crowded inside, and apparently understaffed, had to wait cashier to come to the front for checkout.

Located in the same area as the AMC theater and usually my go-to Daiso. The store is well-organized. I was looking for some boxes, and I was able to find some by the wall. Lots of cute things to find here!

She and I had so much fun seeing all of the party items! We were quite excitable while walking through the store! Haha! Party Central | The drinkware was so colorful & fun: cups that gave ocean blue mermaid vibes, fun palm trees, neon cameras, a variety of fruit, and so much more! There were even cute little paper straws with cute paper animal decorations! There were colorful plates, party, platters, colorful pitchers & more cute items that make you want to have a party! Fun! Fun Items | There were so many pretty gift bags, journals, and pens! I even spotted funny flavors of canned coffees including Snickers, Twix & Cinnamon Toast Crunch! Haha! I don't drink coffee at all, but it was interesting to see! Inside | Huge store, both the neat and tidy, and a huge parking lot! Sighting | We got to meet a cute little dog who had on a jersey! Maybe he wasn't the friendliest at first, but when I placed my hand basket down, kneeled down in my dress, & he saw the snacks in my basket, his attitude changed quickly! He suddenly wanted to be my best friend! Hahaha! Music Unites in the Parking Lot | While excitedly chatting about going to see the Michael Jackson movie, we met a woman in the parking lot! She was so much fun to talk to, as she had fun stories to tell about actually being at actual Michael Jackson concerts! We also met a guy who told us about some of the filming of the new Michael Jackson movie! Imagine that! Overall | What a fun stop & a great way to spend time before having a few minutes away to see the movie!

There is The…read moreSquare Plus retail store that is also within the food court area... the name is so fitting as the shopping center is called The Square LOL. Anyway, we looked over and saw dustpans. I've been wanting to buy a new dustpan because the old one was damaged when I had to use it to shovel snow a few weeks back when the high desert had a snowstorm. Yes, you read right... I used a dustpan to shovel snow (1st time shoveling snow + using a dustpan to do it) LOL... it wasn't too bad actually. One gray dustpan was $4.49 + tax... not too shabby and it's the sturdy type, too. I didn't check out any other items in the shop, but from what I can tell, they do have some nifty knick knacks, small appliances, general household stuff, etc. It doesn't have a lot of space for customers to walk around though... there are only 2 aisles really... the one closest to the entrance and the one on the other side of the wall LOL. I grabbed one dustpan, waited in line (wait wasn't too bad), and paid cash for it. The lady at the cashier was pleasant. She may have been the owner... not 100% sure though. If you happen to be hanging out at the food court, swing on by and see what fun stuff you can pick up from here. Happy Shopping!

Pretty cool retail shop…read more Located within the food court, this shop is packed filled with asian appliances like rice cookers, steamers, and water boilers. Great for getting specific asian appliances that are difficult to find on Amazon or other big-chain appliance stores like Best Buy etc. They also sell a lot of little tiny tools, such as cookware etc. Feels kind of like Daiso. Overall, a pretty neat place to visit and check things out!

Worth a visit for anyone looking to buy furniture but not wanting to spend hundreds of dollars…read more There was a good selection of furniture and household appliances under $100.. max $250! Quality is very similar to Amazon / Mayfair, but a fraction of the cost.

Similar to Rich E.'s review of this place, his TL;DR is quite accurate: "Cheap quality stuff at low…read moreprices." However, my argument to such a poignant statement would be context matters deeply. As someone who is newly moved (I hate moving by the way, top 3 worst things in the world to experience), StockMAX was a fine location to look for items that might be a good solution for a few years. Similar to fast fashion, furniture and decor seem to be falling into the same trend of get new things every season. Rarely are things made to last as long as they used to be. However, with a different perspective you can see how StockMAX might find its audience better with those looking for solutions now with items that won't break the bank, but give luxury, even if it's only for a year or two. The space is essentially a large open floor warehouse. It is mindfully curated and has their goods placed in easily recognizable sections, ranging from cabinets, tables, chairs, desks, and random accessories you might want like ice makers, sensor activated trashcans, and step ladder shelves. They even have lawn furniture which would easily cater to any backyard activity and elevate your space. One of the best finds for me was a wide faux leather swivel chair. It has the air of avant-garde without the price you'd pay to be an aristocrat. Luckily, sitting on it brought forward a sigh of relief that it wasn't just aesthetically good looking but comfortable as well. Honestly, I'll probably end up buying it in the next week or two. That's not to say there aren't some stinkers. Most of the cabinets on sale look great, but when you get closer you realize the cabinet shelves are actually fabric instead of wood. Many of the desks look shabby and possibly breaking if you erased too hard on it. Some stuff just looked ugly. But, overall I saw more good than bad. All that being said, the statement of "cheap quality stuff for low prices" is still true, but hopefully now you can see where the value comes. Coming to StockMAX won't take up too much of your time, as you could probably speed run the whole place in 7 minutes, but if you are looking for an item here or there to tide you over for a bit, StockMAX might make your day.
