I had never heard of Daiso before (I guess I must have been living under a rock ... a rock known as Arizona), but when my friends brought me here, I was really excited by all the cute things here. There are a lot of good-quality items here for only $1.50. I walked away with a 32-pack of beautiful origami paper and a nice gel pen because I was only looking for craft stuff. However, they carry many useful items as well for incredibly low prices. There are a lot of great trinkets to buy for informal gift exchanges and nice care packages for friends abroad, although, if the friend is in Japan, that would be a bit redundant. read more

Thank God I discovered this store and the added bonus is that its only 5 minutes from my work! They have the cutest things and for a good price. I couldn't believe those chopstick/fork/spoon set cost only $1.50!!! I will be going back to this store to get things for my classroom, friends, and even myself! LOOOOve this store!!! read more

Fine location especially inside this Asian mall right off Atlantic Blvd. lots of stuff at cheap prices. On the down side, there's long lines during the day! read more

This place is in a convenient location and great prices but its sooooo cramped. It's very crowded making it hard to shop. This store however, has a lesser selection than other Daisos ^^; read more

Nice stuff here but its crowded. They have different items then the Gardena one plus pet supplies. I'm so glad they opened one in Monterey Park, more money on items and less on gas =X read more

We all love Daiso but go to the one in Hacienda Heights. This one is too small, crowded, and lacking in selecton.

Not as large as the one in San Fran's little Tokyo, but they still had lots of variety. So pleased to see this in a small shopping mall along with other convenient shops. I ended up with two bags of goodies to bring home for less than $30!!! Love this place. Miami seriously needs a Daiso!!!!! Oh, and parking is free. YES. read more

I love this place; everything is pretty and cute! I always end up buying at least one item. Most items seem to be made in China, but you can find some items that are made in places like Korea and Japan. The only complaint I have is that the place is usually crowded and because the aisles are a bit small, it can feel cramped walking around in the store. Most items are $1.50 unless stated. They have a $10 minimum to use credit/debit cards. read more

Ten dollar minimum on credit card purchases. They basically have everything. It's like the ikea of household randomness. read more

I need a hat and a few things I forgot so it was great to get it all here for a cheap price. My friend hated that they sell bowls that contains cadmium, lead, or arsenic and can cause birth defects so I guess they don't have the highest quality stuff, just the cheapest. read more

Went on Christmas Day, bad idea, packed. I'm glad they opened a Daiso near by. My friends and I would drive to Torrance for Daiso. It is like a Japanese dollar tree but its $1.50 instead. Cute things. If you are creative, its a store you must go to get supplies. Since it is in an Asian plaza, I would avoid going there on weekends. The store is small and cramped. read more

Always love this kinda place. They offer cute stuff for just 1.50. The only reason I'm giving a 3-star is bcos it's sooooo crowded, probably bcos it's just opened, and yet they didn't anticipate this problem. The spaces in between aisles are soooo small. U literally have to stop and press close to the side to let other people walk. If I want to really shop at daiso, I think I'll prefer to swing by Gardena better. I'll stop by here if I need a quick office supply. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. They have so many things you would find at a convince store but CUTER and cheaper. Watch your wallet though and shop carefully. Prices will add up haha read more

Omg, stuff here are so cheap. $1.5 if not marked. I bought school stuff here. Everything is cheaper than most places in 626 area. Service is super nice. If you have any questions or anything, they are there to help you out. The check out is pretty fast also, if they see there are more than 5 customers waiting in line, they will call another cashier in to help them out. Varieties of stuff you can shop for your home or office. The place is pretty big and clean. read more

Such a wide variety of items! I dislike the Koreatown, LA location due to under-stock issues. I mainly grab their disposable kitchen gloves for my kitchen needs, and this location had everything in stock. My only problem - too far from my place. I love coming to this location because everything is well-organized and stocked. I just wish I lived closer to this location. read more

Went here for the first time with my cousin yesterday. When we were there it was crowded. There were people in every aisle so it was a little hard to navigate around the store. They have a lot of cute things and really cheap since everything in the store is $1.50 but then because of the price it really makes you wonder about the quality of the items. read more

Great products/selection Musts: Storage related products Magnetic clip boards Document organizers Japanese ceramic cups and pots Great store. read more

Daiso is great for colorful knickknacks, household items, and cheap thrills. Best deals - office supplies, dishware, kitchenware, soba noodles (made in Japan!), I shopped here to furnish my new apartment and for new puppy supplies. I bought a collar, harness, leash and poop bag dispenser all for under $8! read more

This place is dangerous for me, seriously! You can find so many things that are useful and needed around the home, as well as other items that are just for fun. Left many things that i wanted but figured I could wait for, so I shall return. And you can't beat the prices either, better than doing your shopping elsewhere! read more

Many items here that you can find. This is located within the Atlantic Times Square mall in Alhambra. Parking is free within the mall garage, but you could also find street parking nearby. Just like any Daiso, this one has all the goodies for a low price. Quality suffers, but you can easily stock your basket with items you'll probably never use and just want to buy because of the price. All items are $1.50 unless stated otherwise. Asian snacks available everywhere! read more

It's pretty much a dollar store (well $1.50) but the stuff here is of MUCH better quality than your average dollar store. They have everything that involves crafts, food containers, shoes!, umbrellas, and snacks (Japanese snacks tend to be pretty pricey in other supermarkets cause they're imported, but you can find them here for $1.50 (if not otherwise marked!) Definitely worth the trip! Tip though--they accept cards, but you need to pay at least $10! read more

Prices are good, but services are bad (mainly the cashiers). Disappointed!!!

Cheap stuff. A good selection of cheap stuff. If you're on a right budget or simply cheap, this place is heaven. Don't expect too much variety because there's only so much a $1.50 store can do (prices may vary). Cheap snacks and candy. Really good iPhone 5 screen protector. Lots if utensils, stationaries, plates, bowls, etc. I will probably come back because I'm asian and cheap read more

Best "dollar" store ever!!! I've been looking for the Asian full-face visor for my friend and we just happened to see it in the window. That's what brought me in but oh my there's just so much great stuff in this store. We ended up browsing up and down every aisle. Everything in the store is $1.50 unless otherwise marked. My friend's visor was two bucks, what a steal! I also got metal bookends, various health&beauty items, long cooking chopsticks, and more. What an awesome store! read more

I bet you didn't know there's a store that really sells everything you need. Daiso, it's like the 99 cent store. But cleaner, and cuter, and it smells good, and it's Japanese! You will leave with so much random goodness read more

i am truly glad that they decided to open up a daiso here in the monterey park area. i have heard about this place for a while and their other locations are just too far away for me. today was the grand opening and it was super packed. people crowded around and stuffed goods into their baskets like they have never seen such cheap items in their life before (i was one of them as well @_@ haha ) it was hard to navigate through the store and browse casually but there were A LOT of goodies for only $1.50 other items that are not 1.50 will have a white sticker stating the price. a lot of the items they sold are really good quality and imo, there are some items that you cant even buy elsewhere for $1.50. well maybe you can, but the quality probably wont be as great. i will definitely come here again since it was too crowded today. read more

They have really cheap items for under a dollar. It's the 99 cent store for Asians. There are usually a lot of people around 7-8 pm. The parking structure is horrible. Parking is crap if you come around 5.. read more

I love Daiso coz they import tiny cute & creative design from Japan. We've lots of this kind of chain store at home country, but not in here. It's very sad.... thus, I'mglad to have this chain store. Spending $1.5 to add some fun for your household or life, why not? If you have kids, or you work with kids. That's the place for you. It gives me ideas for gifts & DIY. The quality of the items are good compared to the general 99 cents stores and the designs are more unique. This store is pity small. Sometimes, it can be very crowded. I like the one at Artersia more, but this place is closer and I can shop/eat around the plaza. Waste less gases. read more

They have so much interesting items. Store was super crowded. This is the first time I visit this location. Sorry, no restrooms. Shopping is fun though. read more

Great source for things you didn't know you needed! Fun for browsing too.

Lotsa cute stuff mostly for 1.50. One thing that i do not like- minimum $10 charge to use a credit card? Aw come on..... I am ok with the final sale policy but they should really lighten up on the cc minimum charge. Is that even legal? read more

Super affordable. I went into the store and wanted to buy everything in it! At first, I didn't know everything was 1.50 until I kept looking up at the sign for the price. I wasn't used to it. I love it!! read more

Daiso has almost every cute stuff to have in a bag so I always get to buy way too much than I planned. (And usually I find a few not really useful to me but can't return) Only downside of this store is lack of enough parking space. read more

I just love this shop because you can find all kinds of things from stationery to household knick knacks. You can't return items, so be sure its what you want. The prices aren't too bad either. read more

Who doesn't love this place? It's a true gem, affordable and full of the cutest items you can ever find! I came here for the blades to trim my eyebrows. I originally used to use teh ones found in CVS or Walgreens- 3 blades for around $5 and the blades were dull and ridged. After trying the ones from Daiso, the rest was history! These don't have ridges, they cut evenly and pain free. But anyways, the blades were what I was hunting for and I left with $70 worth of goodies and gift bag fillers!!!! Can't wait to come back!! Funny thing, they are located right next to a Q-Bargain... 2 good stores, 1 very happy customer. read more

There are items mostly cost $1.50, I went to there Sunday, and purchased some of stuffs. After couple days, I did check their receipt as my routine works. I found out that they had doubled charging me on one of items. I called them and talked to their manager about this issue. The manager didn't want to refund moneys via credit card ( I paid by credit card, and they did have a merchant's copy receipt). I was told, the only way is I go back the store. It is ridiculous! I need to drive long way and just for $1.50. Beware! They don't have return policies and also no refund policies if they over charging you. Compared with 0.99 cent only, Daiso is nothing special. From 0.99cent has perfect services, such as a return policy. read more

I love perusing around this shop. Granted most of this stuff is junk you really don't need, there are lots of cute, not to mention cheaply priced, stuff here. They have all sorts of household goods (bowls, utensils, steaming paper, cookware), snacks (Pocky, candy, bottled drinks, chips), wearable (scarves, stockings, socks, hats), office/school supplies (cute washi tape, gift bags, pens, markers, binders, storage pockets, clips, magnets, phone cases, USB cables, reusable bags, greeting cards), etc. Most items are $1.50, unless marked. NO REFUNDS or exchange! AMEX not accepted, but Visa and MC are. read more

I've been going to this spot for a while now and honestlyi just had the very best visit I've ever had. Nathan did not hesitate to show me where something was and even translated the label to ensure I got the correct product. I have never received nor expected that amazing customer service and Nathan went above and beyond, so kind too. I'll definitely be back to this location because of him read more

employees here are so rude, so i was in one of the isle near the back door where it says "employees only" this girl walks right by me and bumps into me without apologizing. yep just walked right through me. urm hello ? do you have any manners. as i was telling my mom on how rude she was, right before she closes that door, she gave me a dirty look. im pretty sure she heard me talking, least she can do is apologize. i dont care if she was carring a box of merchandise, i didnt even see her coming. and i would have moved out of the way if she said excuse me. but she didnt. daiso, please check up on your employees. read more

I wish I can rate this store zero stars. The cashiers at this store are all so rude. Even the manager was so mean. I wanted to exchange a coin purse from a different Daiso store and the cashier didnt want to help me. She just kept saying that everything is final sale. There was nothing wrong with the item. It had price attached and I had a receipt. It was also on the same day. The manager needs to have better customer service skill. read more
